To all the onlookers behind him, Ben looked as though he were threatening Hux, but Hux saw otherwise. Ben’s pupils were fat, his voice husky as he said, “You’re trying to be nice, huh?”

Hux smirked, shrugged with one shoulder; he might appear nonchalant, but his knees were weak, his stomach fluttering.

Ben leaned closer, nose nearly touching Hux’s, breath warm against his lips, just inches away. Hux started to sway forward, beyond caring for the consequences, when Ben stepped back, keeping Hux’s narrower body at arm’s length, trapped against the car.

“Try harder,” Ben said with a parting shove, and then he was walking away.

I fell in love with @kyluxtrashcompactor ‘s gorgeous High School AU the second I read it.  It’s a brilliant take on several @kyluxhardkinks prompts that includes an inversion of Ben and Hux’s more typical characterizations, and takes place against the backdrop of the pressures of high school, where so many of us struggle to find ourselves and fit in.
