Star Wars Imagines

Without the Helmet (Kylo Ren x Reader)

"Officer Y/L/N?" you heard someone mumble nervously.

You immediately stood up from your chair, "Is he awake? How's he feeling?"

"He's fine. The Commander took a bad hit to his leg, we had to put him under to assess it, that's why you had to wait to see him," the medic started.

You nodded, trying to stop yourself from tearing up, "And? What's going to happen to him?"

"There was slight internal bleeding, but we underwent the appropriate
procedures to stop the wound festering.

He's was lucky. But, uh, yes he'll be fine."

You breathed a sigh of relief, "So can I see him?"

The medic nodded cautiously, "I do need to warn you though, we gave him a high dose of nitrous oxide. The effects have yet to ware off."

"You mean to tell me that you gave the Commander of the First Order... laughing gas?" You asked. This you had to see.

You opened the door carefully to see Kylo lying rather limply in an infirmary bed, which had been raised slightly. His helmet was off, you noted.

"No, no, no!" He said as he saw you enter. You stifled a giggle at how dopey he sounded.

"Kylo–"

"I can't have another medic seeing me without my mask! Do you know I am? Why, I ought to... Oh. You're really pretty," He said, his tons suddenly shifting as you went to sit on the chair beside his bed.

"Um, thank you?"

"Um, you're welcome?" He giggled. The sound made you laugh, Kylo hardly cracked a smile outside your shared living quarters, let alone giggle."What's your name gorgeous?"

You raised an eyebrow, and exchanged a quick look with the medic who gave you a reassuring nod.

"I'm Y/N...And you're Kylo."

"No, I'm Ben. Kylo Ben? No, Ren! Kylo Ren, nice to meet you," he extended out his hand to you and you grinned. You were enjoying this.

"How's your leg doing, love? You had me worried sick. I've been waiting outside for four hours, they hardly even told me what was going on!"

But Kylo didn't seem worried at all , "I feel great! Can't even feel my leg... Come to think of it, I'm pretty numb all over... But why were you waiting for so long? You're my nurse, aren't you?"

You were getting a little frustrated now, though you hid it well, "No, Kylo I'm–"

"Perfect. In that case, would you like to go out with me?" He asked quickly, "I'm a Commander, you know," he said proudly. At least he remembered something.

"Sure," You said nonchalantly.
You heard Kylo shuffle in his seat, "Wait, really? You mean it?"

You exchanged a glance with the medic again and smirked when you realised what was happening.

You could play this game. "Of course I mean it. I do have to warn you though, I already have a boyfriend."

"Damn," He mumbled.

You couldn't help but laugh at how devastated he looked and you caved in.

"I'm dating you, silly."

He looked puzzled, "Me?" He scoffed,

"But you're too beautiful to be wasting your time with me!"

"Oh please, have you looked in a mirror?"

Kylo reached up to touch his face and gasped.

"What's wrong?" You and the medic
said at the same time.

"Where's my helmet? You can't see me like this! Look away, look away!"

Didn't we already have this conversation? But you held your tongue.

"Kylo, I've seen you without that damn helmet before, don't worry."

He didn't respond and you looked over at him. You saw him crying and groaned.

"Oh grow up, Kylo!" You said, hitting him lightly on the arm.

"But now you know my secret!" At that, he started sobbing harder. You sighed, taking his hand in yours and kissing if softly. You had never seen him cry like this before. You knew it was just the medicine, but hated seeing him upset.

"Hey, let me show you something." You reached into your pocket and took out a small photograph.

"Is that your boyfriend?" He sniffled.
"Yes..." You rolled your eyes when he said nothing, "Kylo, it's you."
It took him a moment to realise you were right and his face erupted into a grin, "I think I love you," he breathed.

"Hmm, you better love me after making me put up with that meltdown," you joked, knowing Kylo still hadn't quite come down from his medicine high.
"He'll only be like that for another ten minutes or so, it's waring off now." the medic told you.

You nodded and leaned over to kiss the side of Kylo's head before getting up, "Okay, looks like you have to spend the night in here so they can monitor you. I'll go and get more blankets so I can stay here with you."

He nodded, smiling up at you. It looked less dopey and more like his usual smile now. You were glad.

But your fun wasn't completely over, "Oh and Kylo? I let Hux do some rearranging in our room while you were gone, I didn't think you would mind."

"What?" Kylo exclaimed before crying. Again.
