Just us now - Reylo Fanfiction

Rey's POV

It's hard to believe how things can change in such a short space of time. A few days ago Kylo was the enemy, a monster, my captor and a man I would not have hesitated to kill if I had too. But now here I am standing in the kitchen of his ship concerned for his safety and saddened by his rejection of my touch. Today I have seen the softer human side to him, the man behind the mask and I want to find out more.

Kylo returns carrying one of the crates and puts it on the floor in the common area. "I'll bring the rest in while you see what's in here".

I open the crate to find it stocked with medical supplies, hygiene products and clothes and surprise surprise they are all black. I take the garments out of the crate and realise they are women's clothes. They are exactly like the ones I usually wear. The same material and style, even the belt and arm wraps. They only difference is the colour.

Kylo re-enters with another crate and sees me standing holding the clothes out in front of me. He comes and stands next to me and looks at the outfit. A small smirk appears on his face "I hate to tell you this but it seems black is your colour now".

"It's only temporary," I tell him as I turn to face him.

His smirk quickly vanishes as he puts down the crate. "I know," he says quietly as he walks away.

Kylo Ren's POV

I head back outside to collect the last crate but instead I sit down on the ramp and try to get my head around what's happening. "It's only temporary," she says but join or die, that's the ultimatum that will be given to her. A few days ago this seemed easy enough, I would complete her training and turn her to the dark side. How foolish was that? How could I even think that I could manipulate her in that way? Now I know that will never happen and I'm not okay with the alternative.

I need to find a way to convince her. I could tell her the truth? No, not yet I still have time till the training is complete don't I? Why am I so affected by this? Am I upset that Rey is adamant she won't join the First Order or am I upset that she won't join me? I have finally found the one person in the galaxy I can connect with, who understands, and before long that will be taken away from me one way or another. This was not how this was meant to go.

She feels it too though I know she does. Tonight before the interruption of the craft arriving when we were holding hands, and she looked at me, like really looked at me and brushed the hair out of my eyes I thought that...... I shake my head and laugh at myself as I stand up, lift the crate and head back inside. Don't do this to yourself Kylo you're being foolish again. Why would she ever want to kiss you?

Rey's POV

I take the clothes and make my way to the bedroom. I may as well try them on as these oversized shirts of Kylo's are really starting to drive me crazy. I quickly undress throwing the shirt on the floor and I put on the black version of my outfit. I'm not going to lie it does look pretty good but not the best colour for desert life I chuckle to myself. As I stand there looking in the full-length mirror there is a light knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" Kylo asks.

"Sure. It's your bedroom," I answer.

The door opens slowly and I see through the mirror Kylo enter the room. He walks forward and stops behind me only a few inches away and looks at our reflections in the mirror, both of us together. He stands there quietly taking his time to look me over. He starts at my feet and I follow his eyes as they search every part of me as they make their way up my legs stopping ever so briefly on my thighs before moving again then stopping at my hips. He brings his hand up and places it on the side of my waist and that's when I realise I've been holding my breath. I slowly exhale as his eyes start to move again and make their way to my breasts then continue up to my neck. His eyes stop there and I see him falter as he leans in ever so slightly. I stand completely still unsure of what will happen next. His eyes continue upwards and stop at my lips that are quivering in anticipation.

"You look...... perfect" he whispers and I can feel his breath on the side of my neck, which sends a shiver down my spine.

He looks at our reflections and will now be able to see that I am staring at his lips in return.

He lets go of my waist and takes a step back.

I look at his eyes through the mirror and him at mine as he says, "We need to talk".

Kylo Ren's POV

Rey turns to face me and takes a step closer "Talk?"

"Yes. There is something I need to tell you" I walk over to the bed and sit down with my head in my hands. I know I shouldn't tell her but seeing her just now and how she looked at me and didn't recoil at my touch I know I have to be honest with her. She deserves to know the truth.

I feel her sit down next to me and wait.

"Not quite sure where to start" I say as I bring my head up but keep staring at my hands on my lap.

"Would it be easier if I went into your mind?" she asks.

"Probably" I acknowledge "but I need to say it," I tell her as I eventually turn to look at her.

She watches me as I struggle to find the words. "I've had orders from Snoke". I look away as I try to find the courage to say the rest. I take a deep breath, "When your training is complete you either join us or die," I finally say.

I look up and Rey is watching me her eyes filled with sadness and a small smile on her face as she says, "I already know". She reaches over and takes my hand and lightly squeezes it in-between both of hers as she says, "So what are we going to do?"
