Dec. 2nd, 2018 07:21 pmThe key gave him fits going into the lock. It was like it was trying not to let him get into his own apartment. When it finally went in and turned, a fucking miracle, Kylo kicked the door open so hard it slammed into the entryway wall.
“Fuck!” he announced.
“Jesus,” Rey responded from the couch, where she was cuddled up in a blanket with Rose and Finn. “Psycho much?”
“I just.” Kylo tried to get his anger under control. “I can’t. With that guy.” He closed the door with slightly less power than he’d used to open it, and the front window rattled in its frame.“We got pizza,” Rey said, poking one hand out of the blanket to gesture at the coffee table. “You can have some.”

Nov. 25th, 2018 02:43 pmPrompted by huxandthehound on Tumblr: First sentence prompt: “Of course it was snowing.”
Of course it was, because why would anything at all go right for him? It was the fitting end to this terrible day: start by accidentally confessing feelings to his Greek god of a roommate, as if Kylo saw him as anything more than half the rent; spend the next twelve hours killing himself at work; and now trudge home in the freezing cold wearing nothing more than a light jacket.
Armitage had resigned himself to his fate, stuffing his hands as deep into his pockets as he could, when suddenly something heavy and warm fell over his shoulders. “I saw you didn’t take a coat this morning, and I didn’t want you to freeze,” Kylo said, because of course it was Kylo, of course he would be here to witness Armitage’s misfortune again, and then, even worse, of course, Kylo barreled on, “Also, I didn’t get a chance to say anything this morning…”
“You don’t have to say anything,” Armitage interrupted, and he was going to deny it, going to pretend it had never happened, but before he could say anything else Kylo had tugged him close by the lapels of the coat he’d brought—and then, somehow, Kylo was kissing him, Kylo’s lips were moving against Armitage’s mouth and Kylo’s teeth were grazing Armitage’s bottom lip, and the world fell away, the cold and the snow and the exhaustion too, and Armitage felt lost and found all at once.

Nov. 23rd, 2018 06:19 pmPrompted by fruhallbera on Tumblr: Here's a sentence prompt: It probably wasn't supposed to make that particular noise.
“Stop,” Armitage yelled from the adjoining room, “you’re stripping it.”
“I’m what?” Ben yelled back over the noise.
“You’re stripping it, you absolute idiot, stop drilling,” Armitage roared, stomping into the room with louder footfalls than you’d expect from someone of his slender build and yanking the power drill out of Ben’s hand.
Ben knew he was pouting, but he decided he felt like doing it; he looked up at Armitage and crossed his arms and huffed, “I don’t know what that means.”
“It means,” Armitage said, “that you’re an utterly useless spoiled brat who’s never had to do a thing for himself in his entire life,” and he sounded utterly exasperated—but he still leaned in, curled his fingers in Ben’s hair, and kissed him possessively, just like usual.

Oct. 27th, 2018 02:17 pmKylo looked up from the selfie preview on his phone screen. Setting up the shot hadn’t been going well; the light was washing his face out in contrast to the red and orange foliage he was trying to capture in the background.
The man who had apparently seen him struggling was quite a bit shorter than Kylo, with curly black hair and warm brown eyes. He had an easy smile that Kylo was returning before he realized it.( Read more... )
