A/N: Alrighty then… this is oddly more popular than I anticipated. Like, Jesus Christ, guys, chill. Anyways, here's your latest helping of Kylux wtf. I don't know what this is anymore.

Alexander retreated to his room, his eyes dark. He just met his soulmate, so shouldn't they be celebrating? Instead, he had to act as if nothing happened. On top of that, his soulmate had to live with negativity staring him in the face for the rest of his life. How the hell was he supposed to remain calm?!

"Stupid emo force-user…" Hux finally figured out who he was destined for, and he couldn't even acknowledge it. What was the point of having a soulmate then? To further the insult, Ren had been avoiding him for hours after the discovery. The general growled. This was not how he wanted this experience to go.

"Hux? How did it go?" Phasma stalked up to the general, her expression conveying that she already knew, and was not pleased.

"It was fine. Why?"

"Oh I don't know… maybe because Kylo Ren is currently in audience with Supreme Leader? And is currently getting the shit beat out of him? Ring any bells?" Alexander was about to shoot back a remark until the situation sunk in fully.

"Is it… my fault?"

"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner." She glared heavily. Hux blinked once, twice. His mouth opened, and shut. Phasma snickered. "What? No sarcastic comments? Maybe now you'll realize why Ren hates talking with Snoke." Alexander ran two hands through his hair. Everything made sense now… Ren grew up thinking even his soulmate hated him, and thus was easily swayed to Snoke. Snoke made it worse by beating him, which is why Ren always flinched with physical contact.

"Phasma… how long… how long has this been happening?" The commander shrugged.

"How should I know? It's never been my job to keep track of him." Alexander was about to retort when he realized she was right. Ren wasn't anyone's responsibility. He was in charge of his own choices, and Hux suspected that he hadn't wanted anyone on board to figure this out.

"You're right." Phasma blinked, once, twice, her blue eyes coated in confusion.

"Did you just say I was right?" Hux shrugged.

"You are. I'll give you that." A tiny smirk dusted over her features before being wiped away. Alexander leaned back to wall. His back hit with a muffled thump, but he payed it no mind. His shoulders slumped, and he let out an audible groan.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into?! This does fuck all to further the mission!" Phasma frowned at her superior.

"First off, are you really going to pretend this never happened?" Alexander growled.

"Hell no. Why would I leave him alone, especially now? I may not be in love with him, but I do have obligations as his soulmate." And neither of us are gay. The unspoken phrase hung in the air, and peaked into both of their thoughts. Phasma gave him a sharp look.

"If that's how you feel, why aren't you with him now? Go." Hux soon found himself stalking down the halls of The Finalizer, and was in no time standing at the doorway to Snoke's hologram. A tremor coursed through his hand as he reached for the door handle. Granted, his supreme leader would not appreciate being interrupted, but this was a special case. Ren is his soulmate, after all. Gathering his courage, Alexander opened the door and stepped through. His green eyes scanned the room, and fixed on Kylo. The knight was on the ground, kneeling in a puddle of blood. He felt a sudden desire to remove the man from the room and ensure that Ren would never bleed again. An unwarranted growl bubbled up, catching the attention of the other two.

"General Hux. Why do you interrupt my meeting?" Snoke looked pissed. Alexander took a deep breath before responding.

"Sir, I received reports of blood from in here. Just thought I'd check on Ren." The hologram lifted an eyebrow.

"Since when is Kylo Ren your responsibility? I thought I made your role clear, general." Snoke's tone was hard, and Ren stiffened on the ground.

"With all due respect, sir, Ren just happens to be my soulmate." The words echoed the uncertainty Hux felt, and Snoke smirked.

"Oh he is? Well, this certainly puts a new spin on things. Ren!" The knight looked up expectantly. "You are dismissed. Do not disappoint me again."

"Yes, master." Kylo stood, bowed, and walked out of the room, a hand over his side.

"Now, then… General, it seems as if you've figured it out." Hux nodded, trying to read his superior. "What if I were to tell you that I already knew?" Dead silence, only breached by Alexander.

"Pardon?"

"Yes, I already knew. In fact, I set you two up. I can't have a knight of Ren being unprotected, and so I set you two up." A pause. "However, you know he could never love you. Just as you can't grow feelings for him." This brought Hux out of his stupor.

"Why not?" He would have complained further, but he already sounded like a whiny child.

"Any affection Ren feels could loosen my hold on him. So I took matters into my own hands. The boy will stay with me that I can assure." Hux's mind whirled. Ren wasn't able to fall in love… none of the pain he'd been put through could ever be undone. Alexander felt like crying. That was too much for any one person to bear, supernatural forces aside. "Is this clear?"

"Yes, Supreme Leader." Alexander swallowed hard.

"Good." The hologram relaxed. "You are dismissed."

"As you wish."

A/N: Necessary dialogue is necessary. Anyways, the plot should be taking off either next chapter or the one after that. Keep reading, mates.
