Chapter Text
Cold droplets trickled their way down Hux’s neck as he climbed the stairs to their apartment. The grey February rain had been threatening to spill all day and evidently his leaving work had been the final catalyst. Breathing deep Hux unlocked the door to their apartment. He had managed to avoid working late, it was Valentine’s day and a small part of him was already anticipating whatever Kylo had planned for the date.
Shaking the raindrops from his hair Hux slipped from his jacket and into the warm embrace of home. The light was dim as he slid off his shoes and circled his shoulders, spine crackling. Hux stretched out, smiling at the soft pad of feet running towards him. Millicent mewed once in hello and arched at his ankles. Hux’s skin prickled with goosebumps and he picked Millie up, cuddling into her, warming himself. There really wasn’t much for him to do, Kylo had insisted on taking care of all plans for the night. He wandered towards the living room feeling the carpet beneath his feet, sliding between his toes like blades of grass. The air was filled with steam and the smell of cooking and Hux smiled, hearing footsteps behind him.
“Welcome home.” Hux was wrapped in strong arms and a pair of plush lips found his neck, nibbling and sucking. Breath was hot in his ear and Kylo’s warm voice whispered, “I missed you.”
“Well you’re the one who insisted on staying home today,” Hux pulled Kylo’s arms tighter around him. “I hope it was worth it.”
Turning, Hux found himself eye to eye with Kylo who smirked and leaned in. His lips were impossibly soft as they pressed against Hux’s own, catching and sliding and then pressing in once more. One hand caressed Hux’s neck, gently tilting his head back to let his mouth fall open. Kylo’s tongue traced the outline of his lips before slipping in to tangle with Hux’s in a sliding dance of hot breath and sweet taste. Hux groaned, his hands rising to fist in thick hair, gripping tight as he was lifted into Kylo’s arms.
His legs wrapped around the hard press of Kylo’s body as he led them to the couch before collapsing on top of Hux, their mouths never parting for an instant. Kylo stripped his t-shirt off in a single movement, eyes glinting as he looked down at Hux sprawled on the couch.
“Kylo-” Hux started before Kylo’s mouth was on his once more, dipping and tasting, their bodies grinding together almost painfully. Kylo pulled back, his lips pink and starting to swell.
“Yes Pumpkin?”
“Well as nice as this is, I really need to shower.” Hux pulled himself up, fingers tracing circles on Kylo’s chest. “Maybe you could join me?”
“Mmm, sounds good. I just need to check on dinner first. You go, I’ll catch up.”
Hux stepped into the warmth of the shower with a contented sigh, he could already feel himself relaxing. He was certain he’d have to put up with Kylo bragging about his cooking skills for the next few days and smiled. Hux had mentioned so many times that he was going to teach Kylo how to cook and it seemed like the lessons were paying off.
Running his soapy hands down his body Hux felt a shiver run through him. He wondered idly what exactly Kylo had planned for the evening. Every night since they started living together had been something new, and while they still bickered occasionally, it was nice to be able to end arguments with a kiss. It had taken some adjustments after so long living by himself but Hux felt things were going exceptionally well.
He’d forgotten what it was like showering alone for a start.
Humming, Hux pretended not to hear the door open before arching into the sensation of broad hands circling down his hips and a hard body pressed against his own. Hux turned, fingers stroking down the length of Kylo’s torso, feeling him slowly starting to harden against his thigh. He closed his hand about Kylo’s cock in a loose grip, slowly stroking the length in lazy, wet slides.
Kylo’s teeth found his bottom lip as Hux’s fingers trailed up to circle one nipple. His breath hissed out, only adding to the warmth in the enclosed shower as plush lips descended on his neck, licking down the length of his throat, following the trail of the water.
He slid his hand downwards, rolling Hux’s balls, groping at them the way he knew Hux liked. Hux’s hands found his ass and Kylo dipped his head downwards to catch his lips in a kiss made all the wetter by the water running down their faces. He wrapped his free arm around Hux, squeezing at his shoulder when he felt slim fingers delve between his cheeks to rub enticingly across his hole. They pressed gently, circling the rim with feather light touches and Kylo groaned, “You are such a tease, you know that?”
Hux simply smiled, “I know.”
“Yeah well two can play at that game. Dinner’s almost ready so we’ll just have to continue this later.” Kylo smirked, giving Hux’s cock a last squeeze and climbing out. “I can give you five minutes if you wanna finish yourself off.”
“Five min- you just- I don’t- You know very well that I last longer than that!” Hux’s face was starting to turn pink, “Besides, if I finish now then where would that leave you?”
“Aww, you’re saying you don’t want all this” Kylo twirled in his unfastened bathrobe, sliding a hand down his still half-hard cock and wiggling his ass in Hux’s direction.
Hux shook his head, smiling fondly, “You’re an idiot.”
“Yeah well, that’s why you love me,” Kylo winked and started towelling his hair, “besides, you’re an idiot too. I asked you to get toilet paper on the way home and you forgot. Again.”
“Says the man who was off all day today!” Hux’s voice echoed in the small space of the bathroom, “You must have been shopping for whatever you’re making for dinner so why didn’t you get any?”
“Oh shit,” Kylo said, “I didn’t even think.”
Shaking his head, Hux stepped out of the shower. “I’ll get some tomorrow.” He accepted the towel Kylo held out and wrapped it around his waist. He pressed his nose into the gap of Kylo’s robe, nuzzling against his chest, “Dinner does smell lovely though, thank you for doing all this.”
Kylo pressed a kiss to the top of Hux’s head, “I guess you’re worth it. I really need to go check it though.”
Hux nodded, “I’ll just go get dressed.”
“You don’t have to,” Kylo wiggled his eyebrows, “I quite like the way you are now.”
Smiling, Hux picked up his discarded work clothes and made his way to the bedroom. He pulled an envelope from his jacket pocket and smoothed it out. It seemed that Kylo was content eating dinner in a bathrobe so Hux followed suit. Kylo had bought him a pink one not long after moving in, having claimed Hux’s old green one as his own. He slipped the envelope into a pocket and wandered out of the bedroom.
The dining table had been set and candles flickered in the low light as Kylo whistled to himself in the kitchen. Hux blinked, still not quite believing things had worked out this way. Every day he expected to wake up and find that none of this was real. More often than not though, he woke up with Kylo’s hair in his face.
“Need a hand?” Hux asked, watching as Kylo dished out their food. It smelled delicious and extremely familiar. “What are you making?”
Kylo grabbed a plate in each hand and gestured for Hux to sit at the table. “I made lamb stew.” His cheeks were slightly pink as he sat down opposite, “Do you remember? You made it for us the first time we-”
Hux’s eyes widened, “Oh!” he reached over to take Kylo’s hand, “I didn’t realise you were quite so romantic.”
“Yup. And then you came on my face,” Kylo smiled, dipping his finger in sauce and sucking it into his mouth. Across from him Hux spluttered, letting go of his hand and turning to his food, cheeks glowing. After a few mouthfuls Hux ran his fingers through his damp hair, composing himself.
“You know after that I don’t think you deserve these.” Hux pulled an envelope from the pocket of his robe and slid it across the table. Kylo frowned as he picked it up, watching Hux’s face for any sort of clue.
Hux simply sipped his wine, waiting, expression giving nothing away. He smiled softly as Kylo ripped open the envelope, eyes suddenly widening.
“Paris? We’re going to Paris?” Kylo’s mouth fell open and Hux reached over to join their hands once more.
“You’re not the only one who can be romantic you know.” He rubbed his fingers across the back of Kylo’s hand, “And I wanted to take my boyfriend somewhere nice.”
Kylo’s lips quirked in a smile, “Boyfriend? I don’t think I’ve heard you call me that before.”
“Oh? Would you rather I call you something else?” Hux’s eyes glinted in the candlelight and Kylo found his breath speeding up.
“Well, I do like it when you say my name, but I think that can wait until after dessert.” Kylo licked his lips, watching as Hux mimicked the motion, “I made chocolate covered strawberries.”
Hux paused and opened his mouth to speak before stopping and shaking his head, “Why exactly did you make those?”
“Well, y’know it’s all sexy and seductive and you feed them to each other and drink wine in the candlelight and oh god I can’t eat them can I?”
Hux snorted with laughter at Kylo’s sudden expression of woe. “You’re telling me you got so wrapped up in this that you forgot your own allergies?” He couldn’t help but smile. Of course that’s what happened, it was Kylo.
Kylo pouted, “Well, I wanted it to be romantic.”
“It is, love, it really is.” Hux rose to step over and settle himself in Kylo’s lap. Stroking a finger down Kylo’s neck he smiled, pressing a kiss to his forehead, “I’ll just eat the strawberries some other time.”
Kylo smirked, tilting his head, “You could always have them tonight and just not kiss me.” His eyes widened when Hux’s hand fisted in the collar of his shirt, dragging him forwards to crush their lips together.
“Never again.”
