“… because Hux is still in his arms. Not a ghost. Overly warm and
twitching through more bad dreams. Hiding against Kylo’s chest, having
rolled over to clutch at him. Hux wakes slightly when Kylo runs his
fingers through his hair, but not enough to really know where he is or
what’s going on. Hux activates his conscious mind only to check that
Kylo is with him. That Kylo is the one disordering his hair, keeping him
warm”
Hux’s sleveless black undershirt alone survives Ren’s frantic clawing, but only barely, riding halfway up his stomach as he’s pinned back against the viewport, ass on display for the whole galaxy to see.
Their relationship is in its first tender minute, and while Hux is as giddy as the day he made general, Ren’s reaction has been to maul him, perhaps to discourage other potential mates from seeing Hux as anything other than badly damaged goods. Hux is making lots of noise, but he’s not complaining.
Then, just as Ren’s hand goes snaking up Hux’s shirt, no doubt to rip it off him (Rip it off me you bastard, Hux thinks at Ren, just in case), his fingers brush Hux’s nipple, and all the lovely too-hard grinding and lip sucking and growling nonsense promises of I’m going to make you beg until you don’t know what you’re begging for suddenly stop.
“My nipples are pierced,” Hux says, taking pity on him, “yes.”
“Why?” Ren wheezes. His dick, where it lays flush against Hux’s ass, couldn’t be any harder.
“Oh, I don’t know,” Hux says, wriggling against it impatiently, “I was young and drunk and on leave and I thought I was in love with someone. Why not?”
“And you still have them,” Ren pulls Hux’s shirt up further, exposing the silver rings, and stares.
“There they are,” Hux says, shifting where he’s pinned to see if he can’t reach Ren’s dick himself. He can’t–because Ren catches him at it, and traps that arm above Hux’s head while he looks his fill.
“I thought it was a rumor,” Ren says, in a daze.
“And I thought we were going to fuck,” Hux says, twisting his free hand in Ren’s hair to bring his gaze up. It works. Ren’s eyes narrow, and he crushes close again, all plush lips and sharp teeth.
“We are,” Ren says, pulling away even as Hux chases after him, teeth snapping at air, “We will. But–”
Hux huffs and bangs his head back against the viewport.
“I want to see something first,” Ren says, pinching the ring between his forefinger and thumb, “I just learned it.”
Which is all the warning Hux gets before the world turns an electric kind of blue and he’s zapped, unsuspecting and with a frightful yelp, into an orgasm he’ll never forget.
Short but sweet and FUCKING PERFECT. The voices, the characterization, the porn – hot damn this is good.
“In previous films, you had very fast, flashy jumpy fights scenes where it’s like a ballet. There had been a lot of flynning, which is where the duelists do a lot of fancy movements to make sure they’re constantly hitting each other’s weapons. When you draw the fights out like that, the weapons feel less and less dangerous. Kylo uses his saber more like a large broadsword–with weight behind it.
Things I have learned about General Hux from the tfa novelization:
He paces when he’s anxious, and when he forces himself to stand still (because it’s a “waste of energy” to pace), he starts scraping his palms with his nails.
He’s something of a military mastermind. Always planning, always thinking ahead.
He trusts his men and treats them without unnecessary belittling.
He studies people’s behavioural pattern and body language to be able to read them better.
He hates to admit his failures, but readily takes responsibility for them anyway.
He respects Kylo’s powers and ability to use the Force, but he is not afraid of him (at least according to himself).
He is a fucking smartass.
Even though he and Kylo hate each other and neither bothers to hide it, Hux has no problem to try and be manageable in order for them to work together more easily.
He is confident, but also very defensive.
While he is all too eager to destroy the planets that house the Republic, he protests when Snoke orders him to destroy all planets in the Ileenium system since it’s “unnecessary” and those planets could be claimed by the Order.
He is susceptible to praise.
He recognises that aggression from him won’t make his underlings work faster after they’ve been given orders, but rather rattle them, so he keeps it in.
Even though he’s obviously a good leader, he isn’t a very good team player (just look at the disaster that is him and Kylo trying to work together as equals).
He is willing to sacrifice his own men as collateral damage if he thinks it’s necessary.
He has a tracker in Kylo’s belt, and there’s no explanation as to why.
