       Y/n had heard many things about Kylo Ren, commander of the First Order's stormtrooper forces, but nothing could have prepared her for the moment she finally met him in person.


She had been transferred to his ship, the Finalizer, just a few days ago and had been trying to adjust to her new surroundings. She was a stormtrooper, just like the rest of her comrades, but there was something different about her. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she knew she wasn't like the other stormtroopers.

Y/n had always been fascinated by Kylo Ren, even before she joined the First Order. She had heard stories of his power and feared him, but at the same time, there was something alluring about him. She couldn't explain it, but she couldn't deny it either.

As she stood in the hallway with her fellow stormtroopers, waiting for her next assignment, Y/n couldn't help but feel nervous. She had been on several missions since joining the First Order, but this was her first time being on Kylo Ren's ship.

A few moments later, the doors opened and Kylo Ren walked in. Y/n's heart skipped a beat as she laid eyes on him for the first time. He was even more intimidating in person than she had imagined.

As the other stormtroopers saluted, Y/n couldn't take her eyes off of him. She was in awe of his power and presence. She had heard rumors that he was only a few years older than her, but he seemed so much wiser and experienced.

'Welcome to the Finalizer,' Kylo Ren's deep, modulated voice echoed through the hallway. 'I trust you will all carry out your duties with the utmost precision and efficiency.'

Y/n couldn't help but nod in agreement, even though she was too mesmerized by Kylo Ren to pay much attention to his words.

As he turned to leave, Y/n couldn't resist sneaking a glance at him. And that's when she saw it. Kylo Ren's mask had been removed, revealing the face underneath.

Y/n's breath caught in her throat as she took in his features. He was even more handsome than she had imagined. His dark hair was styled in a messy, yet somehow perfect, manner and his black eyes were piercing.

She quickly averted her gaze, not wanting to get caught staring. But as she looked around, she noticed that all the other stormtroopers had their helmets on, covering their faces. It was then that she realized that she was the only one without her helmet.

Kylo Ren had caught her without her helmet on and she couldn't help but feel self-conscious. She was just a stormtrooper, one of the countless others that served under him. She was nothing special.

But to her surprise, Kylo Ren stopped in his tracks and turned to face her once again. She could feel his intense gaze on her and she couldn't bring herself to look up at him.

'What is your designation, stormtrooper?' Kylo Ren's voice was calmer now, almost gentle.

'FN-381,' Y/n replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Kylo Ren was silent for a moment before speaking again. 'You may go, FN-381. Carry out your duties.'

Without another word, Kylo Ren turned and walked away, leaving Y/n standing there in shock. She couldn't believe that he had noticed her, let alone spoken to her. And the way he had looked at her, it was like he could see right through her.

From that moment on, Y/n couldn't get Kylo Ren out of her mind. She had always admired him from afar, but now that she had actually met him, she was completely infatuated. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have him look at her like that again.
