Creatures // Kylux

XXXI

Stars are much prettier when they yearn
To be noticed.
Kylo was noticing them.
Hux's quarter's were better than his
Anyways:
They had bigger windows.
Big enough to be encompassed by.
Windows were endangered in Kylo's
Quarters.
Oh, how he wanted to become them.

Especially with Supreme Leader's arrival
Tomorrow.

Hux stood behind him.
Reduced to a fly, he became
As silent as Space itself.

"Please tell me you weren't just saying that," Kylo said,
locking eyes with a star that beckoned him.
(If only he knew its name...)
"Please tell me this isn't some game you twisted to manipulate me. I want to know, General Hux, are you true when you confessed your love for me?"

Hux stared at Kylo, who's
Eyes were just as strong and exquisite as
The curls of raven hair that draped his
Gorgeous face.
The scar was nothing to him.
He would prefer Kylo's face with or without
It.

"You are a demon." Kylo growled,
"How dare you contort me like this! How dare you make me into nothing but something at the same time! How dare you attract me, how dare you make me beautiful, how dare you make me your puppet-!"

"We are all of us puppets," Hux said,
"I wouldn't have mourned over you last night if I did not love you. You are a demon to me as I am to you: you tempted me away from what I was taught was right, you made me lust after you time and time again... You made me realize that my cold heart still contained a bit of empathy when it was beaten out of me, either by my father or Supreme Leader himself. I pity man as your mother pities you... We are all controlled, had we not, we wouldn't be fighting as we are, using our fear of Snoke as our primary function, rather than moral standards. But you have changed my life for the better, Do you hear? I love you with all my heart, Kylo Ren. You are poetic to me. Do you not trust me when I say it?"

Hux came up behind him,
Wrapped his arms around Kylo's waist,
And rested his down behind his shoulder.

Kylo kept staring at the stars,
Who watched attentively at them both.
What would Spider do?

"I trust you." Kylo concluded.
The stars applauded.
(Spider did too.)

Maybe they know more than he does.
