“They’ve been getting closer for the last few hours,” Ren told him quietly.

“Doing nothing else?” Hux asked, watching the closest set of the glowing, green eyes. They were the size of his palm, and Hux didn’t want to know what they were attached to.

“Mm,” Kylo said. “Just floating there. But clearly sensing us here, which I don’t like.”

“Agreed,” Hux murmured, curling his finger closer to the trigger of his blaster. “There are too many to fight, if it comes to that.”

With a crackling hiss, Kylo’s saber burst to life, the red glow piercing the darkness, and the surface of the lake frothed as whatever creatures were floating out there dove beneath.

C 13 is up, in which Hux wonders whether he might have something Kylo wants, and they find out the most dangerous creatures on this planet do not come from the depths.

Enemies to “ugh I can’t believe I’m saving your life” to “ugh we have to work together or the world ends but it’s not like I like you or anything” to “oh we actually connect pretty well but that doesn’t mean anything” to “I would die for you but don’t read too much into it” to “I’ll kill anyone who lays a finger on you” to Lovers.

The door slid open at a touch of Hux’s fingers to the control panel, and the question he’d formed for Ren died on his tongue.

There should have been stars hurtling past the viewport, streaks of white and blue on a dark field, but instead, everything was shades of red. Hux’s eyes adjusted slowly, the visual input syncing gradually with comprehension, until he saw the brilliant display outside the viewport for what it was. They were suspended in a nebula, its hydrogen emissions interpreted in the ship’s visual display as crimson and deep purple, strewn with glittering pockets of white-pink light as though the whole tapestry had been punched through at random by some cosmic needle, allowing glimpses to another plane of being.

They were in a birthplace of stars.

“I’m flattered you consider me so all-powerful, Hux.” He fixed Hux with a level stare, something dangerous lurking in his dark eyes. “How about I show you, then?” Ren suggested.

“Show me?” Hux repeated, brows pinching over his nose in confusion before he realized what Ren meant. “Try your tricks on me?” The words came out shrill and he backed away a half step without meaning to. The backs of his thighs pressed into the arm of the co-pilot’s seat. “I think I’ve had quite enough of that.”

Ren’s eyes lidded halfway. “You should know what I’m capable of,” he said, shifting his weight off the chair and standing. “And what I’m not.”
