Earn the Cuddles, Hux

Kylo opened the door to his bedroom and walked inside. He was so tired after his long day of making sure that all TIE fighters departed correctly with Phasma and Hux. Kylo always had thought he did most of the work around Star Killer Base. However, Hux completely disagreed with him. The floor creaked under him as he made his way to the shower. Kylo climbed inside and turned on the warm water. The water felt heavenly against his aching muscles and Kylo couldn't have felt more relaxed. When he was finished with his amazing shower, he threw on his underwear and glided over to his bed. Just as he had gotten settled under the covers and had laid his head on his pillow the door opened. Of course it did.

"Ren, are you awake?" A voice whispered. Kylo glanced at the clock. 2:23 a.m., perfect.

"I am now...." Kylo growled. He looked over at the door to find Hux standing there in his sleepwear.

"I just...was just thinking...maybe...we...I...could...climb in bed with you?". Hux never liked to be in the same bed as someone. It just made him feel weird. And he hated to admit that he wanted affection even more. He liked to sleep alone. But not tonight.

"H-Huh?" Kylo stuttered. He wasn't one for affection either.

"Um...is that a no then?" Hux asked. He felt embarrassed that he would ask such a dumb question.

"Never mind" he said defeated. "I will just head back to my room."

Kylo stared blankly at Hux and realized that Hux was actually speaking to him.

"No! I mean...please don't go...?" Kylo begged. Kylo noticed a small smile appear on Hux's face, something that rarely happened. Hux then climbed under the blankets and snuggled up against Kylo. He was so warm and...oddly comforting? But he wasn't going to let Hux just be nice all of the sudden. He had to work for the cuddles...earn them.

"Hux, what are you doing?" Kylo asked mockingly.

"Uh...cuddling you?" Hux stated. Kylo rolled over and ignored Hux.

"But...but?" Hux was annoyed at this point. Why is he being such a jerk?

"Nope! You have to earn the cuddles, Hux." Hux just stared at Ren. What was he saying?

"Fine then! Goodnight...." Hux said angrily. Kylo smiled and waited for Hux to break.

When he didn't give in, Kylo began to feel very lonely. He wanted to cuddle Hux, but he to was too stubborn to just role over and cuddle him.

"Ok fine...what do I have to do for the cuddles?" Hux asked. Apparently he wanted them too.

"I will let it slide...for tonight." Kylo said. The two wrapped their arms around each other and drifted off to sleep.
