Treat You Better ~ General Hux

A/N: Ack Trigger Warning! Mentions of Abuse:(

I sighed, blending the foundation into my skin to cover up a bruise I had on the side of my face. I had gotten in between my boyfriend, Kylo Ren during a normal temper tantrum, as what Hux calls them. This wasn't the first time this has happened, but I guess I didn't learn my lesson the first time. Kylo walked straight past me as he walked out of our shared room. Not a single word or look. My heart sunk a little in my chest. I did care for Kylo, I wanted to help him but he would never let me in. My feet dragged towards the command hanger. The door slid open, my best friend turning slightly to look at me. The ginger barely cracked a smile at me but I knew it was because of the area we were in.
"Hello, General."
I said.
"Hello, Commander."
He replied back to me. I stood next to him as he gave me a small rundown on the latest situations that have come up.
"I have to go to my office in a bit, meet me there?"
Hux whispered softly.
"Of course."
I responded just as soft. Hux smiled and nodded, before going back to his normally stoic face.

I walked into Hux's office and he sat at his desk already. He was writing on paperwork before he looked up at me. Hux smiled brightly and stood up. I returned the smile as he walked up to me. He hugged me tightly and I placed my head on his shoulder.
"You okay?"
He knows about everything with Kylo so he asks me every chance he gets. I nodded and pulled away from him. Hux sighed and smiled sadly.
"I'm fine I promise."
I said noticing his somber look. My eyes widened seeing the (s/c) makeup smeared slightly on his jacket. Hux raised an eyebrow then followed my gaze to his jacket.
"(Y/n), what is this?"
He asked, pointing at the powder. My face burned from embarrassment.
"Makeup.."
I watched as Hux's face changed to worry as he walked closer to me. He raised a hand to touch my face and I unintentionally flinched away.
"(Y/n)..did Ren do this?"
He asked softly, backing away slightly. I slowly grabbed onto the sleeve of my jacket, nodding slowly. Hux's face twisted into anger.
"Hux.. it's fine.."
"No, it's not (Y/n). You don't deserve this love.."
I rubbed my eyes. He slowly walked back to me, reaching around my frame and hugging me close to him. I laid my head on his chest and let my tears just fall. Hux ran his fingers through my hair. I soon relaxed in his arms.
"You don't deserve this. He has no right to treat you like this."
Hux said softly, holding me closer to his chest. I sighed softly. I didn't fight the fact I was being held by him. I felt safe and I didn't want to leave. Half of my mind was telling me that this wasn't right and that I shouldn't be feeling like this and the other half just told me it was right to be with Hux.

Hux's POV

I woke up quickly as bangs erupted from my door. I sat up, throwing my jacket on. I swung open the door, ready to yell at the person. (Y/n) stood there, holding face. Her face was stained with tear trails.
"(Y/n)?! What happened?!"
I yelled slightly, pulling her into my room. She let out a sob and sat onto my bed, still holding her face. I kneeled down next to her slowly wrapping my hand around hers. Her body relaxed slightly and she let me pull her hand away. Blood trailed down from her nose.
"Kylo yelled at me because of me being with you and.."
(Y/n) stumbled over her words. I sighed softly, standing up and grabbing a towel. I held up the towel pinching her nose. She tilted her head forward and held my hand on the towel. I stood up and removed my hand from her hold.
"I'll be back. Stay here, you're welcome to take a shower and take a shirt or whatever you need. Please stay in the room please."
I said, grabbing one of my shirts out of a drawer and put it on. I walked out and straight towards Ren's room.
"General!"
Ren yelled at me as he walked out of his open room. He held his lightsaber in his hand, gripping it tightly.
"Ren."
I spat out. I walked closer to him and punched him in his chest. He wheezed out slightly and backed away from me. I tightened my fist and slammed it into his jaw.
"Dont touch (Y/n) ever again."
I snapped as Ren stumbled backwards and slammed into the wall, and slowly fell down on the floor. I straightened my jacket and crossed my arms behind my back. I walked back to my quarters and (Y/n) was laying in my bed. Her (h/c) hair was darkened by water. She was hugging one of my pillows and she was wearing one of my shirts. I smile softly, closing the door. I walked over to her and placed a small kiss on her temple. (Y/n)'s lips slowly curled into a smile.
"Sleep well my love."
I said softly. I sat on the floor and leaned against the bed, slowly falling asleep.
