So we both know that kylo and hux has bad relationships with their family, SO I want a prompt where they both realize they are not going home for christmas and have basicly spendt their earliere chistmases alone and drunk. but this year they decides to spend it together and it somehow ends up trying to make an effort on decorating and christmas dinner etc and then the fall in love with christmas and eachother because to scrooges need eachother
It’s December 1st, so here is the first Kylux holiday story! Thanks for the prompt!
“Have a nice Christmas,” sounded from Hux’s open doorway.
Hux looked up from his computer screen to find Ben Solo standing in front of him with his bag flung over his shoulder and his black woolen coat folded over his arm.
It was late in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, and Hux wasn’t aware anyone else was even at the office. He thought everyone had taken the day off to prepare for the next day.
Christmas Day was like any other day to Hux. At least, he tried to pretend that it was. He did his best to ignore the festivities and the fun and the holiday cheer that everyone else took part in, which he had chosen to escape for years now. Christmas was not something he had fond memories of, and therefore he found it better to stay at home, alone, where he could ungracefully wallow in self-pity, drink away his loneliness and fall ever deeper into the abyss of bitterness.
Ben raised a dark eyebrow at him. “No celebrations for you?”
“No,” Hux answered curtly, “I don’t do Christmas.”
Surprisingly, Ben chuckled at that, and Hux narrowed his eyes at him. He and Ben weren’t that familiar. They were colleagues and they were civil towards one another, but they rarely had any direct contact at work.
“Is there something funny about not celebrating Christmas?” Hux questioned him.
Ben sounded amused when he said, “Not at all, I just didn’t expect us to have that in common.”
“You don’t celebrate either?”
“Why?” Hux blurted out, before realising it was none of his business. “Apologies, I didn’t mean to pry.”
Ben shrugged. “It’s a long story. Let’s just say my family and I don’t get along, and we’re better apart.”
“I can strangely enough relate to that,” Hux told him.
“If I go home for Christmas, I will have to listen to a never-ending tirade from my father about what a massive disappointment I am, so I much rather prefer to stay at home with a bottle of Cabernet. Or two.”
Ben whistled. “I usually go for Tequila myself. Knocks me right out for the entire evening.”
They laughed, but the laughter soon enough turned into a sort of sad sigh from both of them. Hux supposed it was funny, but it was also rather pathetic.
“This is kind of out of the blue,” Ben started, “but since we’re both alone, do you want to, maybe, not celebrate together?”
Hux blinked. “Um,” was all he was able to say.
“It’s totally fine if you don’t want to,” Ben added quickly, sounding somewhat uncertain, “I just figured it might be a little bit more fun and a little less pathetic to get wasted together than alone.”
That wasn’t a bad point. Being drunk on Christmas Day with someone who could relate to his poor family relations, actually sounded a lot more tempting to Hux than being alone.
“No, I do,” Hux told him.
“Yes. I could even cook something, if you’d want more than just Tequila. It’s not good to drink on an empty stomach, after all.”
Ben gave him a one-sided smile. “Your place then?”
