desertraiised replied to your post “Would you kiss her? Or let her kiss you?”

"I'd let you kiss me if you wanted to..."

“Would that be before or after you knocked me on my ass again?”

@desertraiised​ liked for a thing! 

“Hey, are you okay?” 

She kneels over the other girl, reaching out a hand to pat her cheek gently, “You didn’t hit your head, did you?” she asked, concerned.

Rey -- @desertraiised

“Well I didn’t exactly expect you to jump up at me, now did I?” Kylo growled. Now his ship was broken and on a desert planet, no less. He was a bit scratched and bruised, but still one piece and ready for a fight. This what he had come here for, to destroy. He quickly retrieved his lightsaber and activated the angry red beam. “I’ll kill you in a duel here and now then!”

The New Order

       Months have passed since the battle on Crait where the remainder of the resistance forces just managed to slip away on board the Falcon. In the aftermath the survivors started the long process of healing as well as rebuilding their side of the on going war. Dameron has been very vocal about the lack of support from allies when it was clearly in need, and has become further jaded by the outpouring of support now that the universe knows that not only did a small group of the resistance manage to escape certain death there is still Jedi among them. It's as if the sacrifice of Luke Skywalker and the obvious presence of Leia and Ben Solo has sparked something in the force while simultaneously people throughout the outer rim and core worlds are rising up in support of the resistance as those who fought against seemingly insurmountable odds have given hope to those that thought that fighting back had become pointless and resigned to their fate.

        In all of the natural chaos occurring Ben has tried to distance himself from it all as much as he can though his parents are actively attempting to draw him further into the fold. It's rather ironic that Han of all people is advocating that they take up a more unified front given history but his father has changed over the years and has taken on the task of rebuilding a crippled fleet and scouring up enough pilots to man those vessels. Between Han and Poe the pilot training is going to be the best it has ever been. As for Leia she is still the focal point for everyone to turn to, and she weathers it gracefully. She is kept busy nearly night and day with strategy, reorganization, and of course political issues as well. While she hasn't used her gifts with the force often everyone is aware that she has them but her presence alone is more than enough to rally anyone to the cause.

       This leaves a rather troubled Ben Solo who is attempting to aid everyone that he can while not being dragged directly into the war effort. He believes that he should be seeking out persons who have been awakened by the force to offer to guide them as best that he is able, and to hopefully succeed where his uncle had not. One of the problems that he faces is that he must remain close to the resistance so he can not take anyone that he does find to the safety of Ach'to where they will not be found by the order as the planet is unplottable unless one has the map and BB8 is not about to yield that nor Chewie. Even though his parents are near, Chewie and the droids, and a host of others he has never felt more lonely than he does now. He is of use but no one has come to check upon him to see how he is fairing. Why would they? They are hardly listening to his opinions on matters, and that serves to increase his mounting frustration.

      Then there is the painful subject of Rey. The last time he saw her she was laying upon the floor of the throne room surrounding by debris as the ship started to tear itself apart. He had wanted to gather her up in his arms and take her with him but in all good conscience he could not. She's holding fast to beliefs that he cannot support and even if he had time to show her a different path there wasn't any time left, and the order would have descended upon Crait with a vengeance and followed them to the ends of the universe if they had managed to escape. Initially he had reached out to her often hoping that she would want to speak with him, want to try and sort through the absolute mess they are in, but he had been shut out. Now that he is recalling that fateful day he realizes the last time that he saw her had been when they connected briefly when she was alone in the base and he about to leave Crait behind.

       Her eyes revealed so much to him and a part of him did want to go to her but he knew that it wasn't the right time. There are things that she has to learn as does he, and no matter the pull he feels towards her he had to leave. To this day he wonders who had abandoned whom that day? Did she abandon him by holding onto the orders ideals and plan to rule over all as a new emperor or did he abandon her because he fears that she can not change? Ben convinces himself that it can not be the latter for he's the only one that knows her in ways no one else can ever understand. He's the one advocating that she isn't the monster people make her out to be and that there is still hope for her.  They both have felt directionless and adrift throughout their lives but he will not give up on Rey even if she's avoiding him and he has let her all these long months.

       At this point Ben is stubbornly waiting for her to reach out to him since she's the one that shut him out but he fears that if that's the case she never will. So he waits every day growing steadily more depressed, and his frustration with his current state is slowly turning towards the very anger he unleashed in the throne room upon the guards. Mercifully no one pays him much mind or they would discover that he is hiding a great many things but unbeknownst to him Maz knows a great deal not only about young Solo but one Supreme Leader Kira.

ever since S H E came to the dark side , it was harder to wake up every morning and deal with two force-users that had to intentions of listening to someone with actual military experience . . . who was in FACT ,, a military MASTERMIND .

armitage hux could be a disloyal dog , hungry for p o w e r , waiting for the perfect opportunity to slith ren's throat ; but he was N O T stupid . he knew if he wanted to be great , he had to be patient & even SWEET when it was needed .

but it's never easy . not with a toddler in a mask . ren never hesitated tossing the redhead over the walls for various reasons and it was starting to get harder and harder to resist the urge to launch his deathstar on the f o o l i s h asshole .

rey . . . to his SURPRISE , was different . she barely looked at him in the first place , the only time hux spoke to her was when they first met . a careless ' greetings , scavenger queen ' before he had to rush to ren's side and question him about his IMPULSIVE behavior .

bringing a bloody resistance to the heart of the FINALIZER ? ?

and in time , hux noticed that he wasn't exactly wrong in his guesses ; rey from nowhere , hesitates a lot . she has worry in her eyes , she doesn't know what she's doing and i f she's doing what's r i g h t . ah the sense of self-righteousness hux was looking for ! so when she had slid the door open and given herself the audacity to WALK inside his private chambers , he was only angry about a few moments . at least he didn't show it like he was supposed to -- oh n o ,, he has other plans .

that quiet utterance made the general give her a SARCASTIC sneer . still holding a wet cloth under his bleeding nose . thankfully it wasn't b r o k e n .

   ❝ and W H A T do you suggest i do ? ❞

another roll of his jade eyes . he finally stood up from his large bed , the black satin neatly covering the crimson sheets (- you see , he BARELY used his bed anyway ) . and headed toward the sink , to wash his bloodied fingers and get a new tissue . a thin strand immediately falling on the side of his pale face as he lowered his head . u g h .

   ❝ came to state the obvious ? or do you have something else in mind ? sadly , i'm not into brunettes . ❞
