Something New (Kylo Ren x Reader)

~Lunch~

Matt and I sat down at a table with the "food" the cafeteria served us, and our drinks. He got a caf and I got a tea. Matt picked a hair out of his meal, and flicked it away, muttering "Disgusting".

"I know right? You would think the First Order would give its employees better food to stay strong. By the way things are looking, all of us will either die of food poisoning, malnutrition, or self-imposed starvation" I sighed, sipping my tea and smiling. Matt chuckled. 

"So, what do you think about Kylo Ren?" he asked.

"Honest to the Maker, I'm kriffing terrified by him, but I admire him. I also feel bad for him sometimes. I dunno, I have a mixed bag of feelings about Ren" I replied

"How so?" Matt took a hesitant bite of the food, cringing. I giggled.

"Well first of all, he's a Jedi killing, panel destroying, force sensitive, light saber wielding, mysterious ass mofo, set out on a mission! What's not to fear and and admire?" I exclaimed, getting into a rant.

"Yes! Exactly!" Matt was excited.

 "Like half of the stuff he is trying to do is unimaginable. Rule the whole kriffing galaxy, and kill all of the Jedi?! That's amazing! But also I feel bad for him at times."

Matt sipped his caf, raising his brow. "Oh?"

"Everyone is afraid of him. Not only is he the Jedi Killer, but he's the employee killer. Everyone avoids him, because in his anger he has killed people, and even when he's not mad, you never know when he is going to lash out. I bet he gets lonely sometimes. It must be difficult making friends with that reputation. You can't help but feel bad." I sighed, playing with my food.

"I agree" he replied.

"But then again, he's killed people. People who have friends, family even. He killed my little brother two years ago. I don't know. There are many sides to Kylo Ren from what I've observed. But hey, he does his thing, and I do mine" I said. "I'm sorry about your brother" Matt patted my back awkwardly. I smiled sadly. "I just wish he would stop being so destructive when he's angry." I nibbled my piece of bread.

Then Matt, being the goof he was, said "Have you seen Kylo Ren's face? I heard it's the best"

I giggled. "No, I have not seen his face. I guess it's a good thing that he has that helmet on if he has the best face. It keeps people from trying to get with him. That's pretty smart of him. It's kinda cool too, adds to the mystery of his character, don't you think?"

"Yes! It does!" Matt said enthusiastically, making me giggle again. "I really like you Matt! I think we're gonna be great pals"

He seemed surprised, honored, shocked, happy. "Yea..." he smiled dorkily.

That night I entered a more empty part of the base to put up fliers. As I rounded a corner, I saw Matt. He was wearing a black t-shirt and pants. I was about to greet him when I felt the force nearby. I hid myself and made my signature undetectable. Matt seemed to be very strong with the force, and I found myself confused. Why didn't I sense him earlier? Was he hiding his abilities like me? But then he took off his glasses, and removed his blond hair to reveal long, black, silky locks.

Matt was cute before, but now, he was one of the most handsome men I had ever seen.

I found myself awestruck and even more confused, but before I could do anything, he pulled a hood over his head and left. I guess if Matt wants to keep his real looks a secret, I'll keep my mouth shut.
