Soldiers Of The Eclipse [General Hux x OC]

XIII: Ruination of the World

Floating once more in the darkness, you suddenly find yourself wanting to stay there. Deep down you feel something is wrong, that something bad is going to happen. But you're content to stay in the dark, away from everything and everyone. The answer to why escapes you. You don't know how much time has passed, the time alone giving you a chance to remember the good times.

The faint beeping noise arouses you from your deep slumber, the room dark and silent. It didn't seem like a standard hospital room. The door in front of you slides open and you wince from the strong light, a dark silhouette standing motionless. When the lights turn on dimly and your eyes finally adjust, you recognise Hux. He steps closer to you, slightly fidgety at the foot of the bed, his eyes averted to the ground. You gasp out his name and cough, his hand propping you up slightly and giving you water to drink. It only causes a coughing fit, his arms encasing you against him. He cups your cheek when you've calmed down, his blue eyes twinkling with happiness.
»A-Armitage...«
»Yes, it's me, Ellie. I'm glad you're safe.«
»A-am I?« You stutter out in fear and he frowns, »of course. No one will hurt you.«
»N-not even y-you?«
»Why would I hurt you? What have the Resistance scum been telling you?«

You gulp and tremble in his arms, tears falling. »R-reconditioning. I-I don't want to forget.«
»No, Ellie. I won't... I've cleared you with Supreme Leader Snoke, even Ren had vouched for you, surprisingly.« His lips touch your cheek in a chaste fashion, »you're safe.«
Timidly wrapping your arms around him, you pull him closer, sobbing silently. His gloved hands caress your back in comfort, wanting nothing more than to chase away the fears. You kiss him passionately and grab the back of his hair softly, his hands gripping your waist. Pain travels up your spine to your brain, making you recoil in a faint yell.
»I'm sorry. Lie back down,« he helps you lie on the side that's not damaged, your breathing harsh. »You sustained heavy injury after you crashed in the hangar, they barely managed to save you.«

His eyes are pained as he remembers those horrible hours. In the midst of the Resistance attack on the base and its ultimate destruction, he couldn't stop thinking of your well-being for a second. You were constantly on his mind.
»Ellie, I... I want you to know that I am truly sorry for the incident in the mess hall. And what I had done afterwards.«
You look at him in silence, not knowing what to say. He continues, »I had wanted to explain everything the next morning, but you never showed up for training.«
»I felt betrayed,« you whisper and he nods, too afraid to look into your eyes or he would crumble. »And then Ren had dragged you to Jakku to undermine me. And came back without you,« he adds solemnly after a pause. You take his hand softly and he smiles. »Emotions have been nothing but second rate my whole life. I apologise if I come off as if I don't have feelings for you. I will fight for you, for us.«

You nod and sit up carefully, noses almost touching. You leave soft pecks all over his skin, sucking a spot under his ear, »make love to me, Armitage.«
»You're hurt, Ellie. I don't want to hurt you even more.«
A genuinely soft smile appears on your lips as you look into his eyes with lust, »I like it a little rough.«
He chuckles and shakes his head, dipping down to kiss you and pull you into him a bit rougher than previously.
