Valentine's Day gingerpilot with asexual Hux bc what's better than that…
" Be my Valentine, Armitage?" Poe murmured. Hux snorted.
"Me?" They were lying on Poe's bed. Hux snuggled closer. It was good, he was long past refusing himself this, long past refusing Poe.
"Yeah. I don't have anyone else." Poe touched his hair carefully and smiled content when Hux let him.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what I've told."
"We are… Not in a relationship."
Poe smiled amused.
"Aren't we? I think it is a relationship, pumpkin."
"I will cut your throat, Dameron. It's not…we are not sleeping together."
"Aren't we? You were very comfy yesterday."
"You know what I mean" he hissed.
"Yeah… But… It's because you don't want to… You don't need to and I am.. I am alright with that."
"What?"
"I am fine with just being… Just like that" he hugged him. Hux snorted and shook his head.
'You are far from being not interested in sex, Poe Dameron."
"Yeah. Point taken, but I do have two working hands, and my imagination has no limits," he whispered, kissing his neck. Hux chuckled, amused. "And I love you so much." Hux froze and looked at him. "I am serious, you know."
"I… That's a terrible idea… Dameron I…"
" And it is my terrible idea, and I think it's wonderful. I am only asking for a date Hugs, not for marriage." He smiled "But one day I might… You know…" Hux sat up slowly on the bed. "I would take you somewhere. I can take us to Yavin or… Arkanis? You promised to show me the ocean and I know you want to go there. So let's go. Just two of us. And let's call it a date."
Hux swallowed, looking down on the floor. There was nothing in the entire world he wanted more than this and yet something in him wanted to say no. To leave, to avoid it, to hide. That overwhelming fear of losing what he doesn't even have yet, that petrifying possibility of being rejected.
He breathed out slowly.
"Let's call it a date then." Poe shifted on the bed and sat next to him.
"For real?" Hux looked him in the eyes, and he saw sparks and pure joy. For these eyes, he was able to defeat anything, even his fear.
"For real."
Poe laughed and hugged him.
"I love you. I love you. I love you."
Hux chuckled leaning into him. He closed his eyes when Poe kissed him on the cheek "I am glad you are fine with kissing." He murmured, "Although, if you stop being okay with it, it's alr.. "
"Dameron."
"What?"
"Shut up." Hux kissed him and Poe smiled leaning into it. They parted after a brief moment.
"Remember when I told you "just two of us"?"Poe cleared his throat. Hux raised his eyebrow.
"You are taking the droid right?'
"Yeah… I can't leave BB alone." Hux shook his head amused.
"You are maddening, Poe Dameron. " It came out far too affectionate for Hux's taste, but he allowed it.
