Armitage Hux was on his fourth Naboo sweet wine when he spied Kylo's cousin, Hermione Granger, sitting alone in a corner. He picked up his fifth bottle to gather his liquid courage when Kylo spied Armitage, staring at Hermione.
"If you hurt her, I know where you live," Kylo playfully growled at Armitage, who stood beside his superior.
Armitage shuffled his feet, making his way towards Hermione. Feeling Kylo's eye daggers in his back, he gulped.
Hermione glanced up and saw Armitage swaying back and forth. "Hello, Armitage, I've got you." Hermione wrapped her arms around his broad chest.
"Yes, but who has you?" Armitage whispered back and hiccuped in Hermione's ear.
"You! Is there somewhere where we can go…" Hermione's voice drifted off as she felt Armitage pulling her gently out of the room.
"How you are kin to him, I'll never know." Armitage slurred as he entered his passcode for his quarters.
"Oooh, nice and cozy and a bookshelf!" Hermione squealed softly, not seeing Armitage wince as she perused his book collection. She was oblivious to what he asked her earlier.
"How long have you been on Coruscant?" Armitage raised an eyebrow curiously, ignoring the liquid courage he had downed five seconds before.
Hermione found an intriguing title: The Force: Rituals "May I borrow this Armitage, please? Reading helps me cope with my homesickness for the Earth."
Armitage raised both eyebrows, tenderly questioning, "Where is this Earth, Hermione? I promise to keep you safe here."
Hermione gasped when she felt the magical vow take hold of them, and magic swirled around them.
Armitage stepped back, "Are you from Dathomir?"
Hermione responded, "I am not a night sister or a force wielder like Kylo. He is training me to hone my powers."
Armitage wrapped his arms around her body, seeing the troubled expression on her face. He bent down and kissed her firmly.
He felt Hermione's arms encircling his body. Her fingers danced across his back as he felt her pulling them towards the bed. "Are you absolutely sure about this?" Armitage drawled in Hermione's ear while her hands moved up and down his back before undoing his overcoat.
"Yes, and you have too many clothes on!" Hermione muttered to him, feeling his body relax underneath her touch.
"I'm not all into decorating for Life Day. I would really appreciate your help sprucing my chamber up." Armitage asked Hermione as they kissed warmly.
"I would love to! Plus, it would annoy Kylo immensely!" Hermione heard Armitage laugh.
