Just us now - Reylo Fanfiction

Rey's POV

I stand there my hand still in his. "Go. Now. Please" he pleads. I slowly release my hand and turn and run back to the ship. It's the First Order I know it. As I reach the entrance I turn in time to see Kylo walking towards the craft that has just landed. The ramp lowers and he makes his way inside. I can't see him anymore.

Once inside I go straight to the cockpit where I have a clear view of the other craft. I've deliberately not come in here before, as the temptation of reprogramming and hot-wiring the place and getting the hell out of here would have been too strong. It also seems to be Kylo's go to place when he wants to be by himself so I kind of classed it as off limits.

I take a look around and it's a pretty good set up like I expected it to be. All the up-to-date equipment and nothing like the garbage they had back at Niima Outpost. I sit down in the pilots seat and make myself familiar with the location of all the controls and systems. Not what I'm use to but it seems like it would be easy enough to get the hang of if need be.

Out of the corner of my eye I notice a flashing orange light on the console to the side of me. I take a closer look and the light is to confirm that the last transmission sent has been recorded and stored. I know I shouldn't but I reach out anyway and press the button and the message starts to play.

Kylo Ren's POV

As I make my way towards the craft that has now landed I can sense that there is only a few bodies on board. Thankfully Supreme Leader Snoke or General Hux is not any of them. I enter the ship and I am approached by one of the stormtroopers.

He stands to attention "Good evening Sir". I nod in reply and stand before him.

"Please excuse our interruption Sir. We are here with some provisions for you and your apprentice".

"Very well. You can arrange for them to be taken to my ship. Leave them outside. None of you are permitted to enter. Do you understand?"

"Yes Sir, I will make the arrangements right away". The trooper walks away and delegates the job to the remaining crew. Within minutes the crates of food, clothing and medical supplies are in the process of being delivered.

The trooper returns and stands before me but at a distance. "Anything else?" I ask.

"Actually yes Sir. General Hux has requested a full report within the next week or he will come and see for himself how things are progressing".

By sheer instinct I raise my right arm with my palm facing sideways and my fingers start to curl inwards. The trooper quickly brings his hands up to his throat and starts gasping for air. I slowly walk towards him as I say through gritted teeth "you can tell General Hux that I do not report to him. If he comes anywhere near this planet this will happen to him but with a more fatal outcome".

I release my grip and the trooper falls to the ground taking in deep breaths. "Yes Sir I will deliver that message. Thank you Sir" he splutters.

I turn and walk out of the craft leaving the trooper still crouched on the ground. The last thing I need right now is Hux interfering. He wants Rey dead more than anyone and I can't allow that to happen. No I won't allow that to happen.

Rey's POV

The message appears from the hologram on the console. I can see Kylo. It's from the first night we got to the ship. He is reporting how he found me, how he tricked me into coming with him and that he will start my training. Another figure appears and I move back in fright at the image before me. Snoke. He informs Kylo that the security around the planet has been increased threefold so I can't escape and to complete my training at all costs and take however long is required. When my training is complete it's either join them or die.

The colour drains from my face as Kylo looks up and agrees "Yes Master. She will join us or die".

The hologram ends and I sit there stunned at what I have just seen. Is this the same man I bared my soul to earlier? Has this all been a trick? Has this been his plan from the start and I have fallen head first into his trap? Am I that naive and easily manipulated? Or do I long so much for contact with another human that I have made myself believe he is not that monster anymore?

I find it hard to comprehend that what happened between us today wasn't in any way real. Those feelings could not be faked. He felt the exact same as I did and I know that. All the energy that flowed and the connection between us was far too powerful. But then again I still can't discard what I've just seen.

As I sit there confused I look outside and see that Kylo is making his way back to the ship. I quickly make my way out of the cockpit and sit down on the sofa. He can't know I've seen the message until I understand myself what is truly going on. The only thing I can do now is to find out how he really feels.

Kylo Ren's POV

As I walk back to the ship I feel the anger cursing through me. Damn you Hux! I should have ended him long ago when I had the chance. Lesson learned. I won't hesitate the next time. I enter the ship to find Rey sitting on the sofa. She jumps up as I walk in and makes her way towards me.

"What did they want?" she asks her voice slightly shaking.

"Just dropping off some provisions," I answer without looking at her. I turn my back to her as I pour myself a glass of water.

"Is that all? You seem shaken," she says as she stops right behind me. I drink down all the water and slam the glass down on the counter. Rey reaches out and softly touches my arm but I shake her off as I turn to face her.

She looks hurt at my rejection of her touch as I say, "I'm fine. Everything is fine," more trying to convince myself than her. "I'll bring the crates in and we can see what we've got". I slide past her avoiding her gaze and make my way back outside. I can feel her eyes on me watching my every move and I know that she knows everything is not fine.
