Of course I'm in absolute control on Finalizier. Why wouldn't I be?

[Aside from Kylo Ren. And that small incident with FN-2187. And the pilot.

Small things.]

I know what a gift is. I've even given a few, actually.

Because you still operate under the illusion that the master you serve is letting you do anything of your free will.

_{[ He blinked at that and laughed out right. ]}

Name one.

So you know the inner workings of the First Order now?

[He knew Snoke's power but Hux also had his own motivations. Snoke most likely saw a most willing servant but Hux saw a bigger picture than Snoke.

That was something he would keep to himself though, even here.]

I gave one of the fleet admirals a bottle of Corellian brandy last year for Empire Day.

[It had been poisoned but it was thought that counted.]

People who are part of your order, especially the ones leading it? They aren't very different from one another. Letting you have any sort of control or real effect on their desired outcome wouldn't be something they'd risk.

_{[ It's cute, you keep telling yourself that Hux. ]}

That's giving one, not getting one.

I would agree with you on that, actually. I'm sure what control and resources I've been given has been because the Supreme Leader felt confident enough that I wouldn't be able to turn those on him instead of carrying out his orders.

[He knew that arrogance and saw Snoke heading down the same path Palpatine once had. It was something Hux would take advantage of in due time. He already had the army in his grasp but he knew he had to be careful when he decided to make his move.

For now, Snoke was still useful. He had been able to do what he had wanted to do since before the day he had even met Snoke. ]

Well, he graciously give me two destroyers to use so it was my way of thanking him.

[Granted he got the star destroyers because of the admiral's death but small details.]

_{[ He's surprised at this agreement, and it shows on his face. He
doubted that this seeming epiphany would be enough to make Hux realize his
many other faults, but baby steps. Baby steps. He did not, for a moment,
think the other was any less arrogant and didn't want some sort of power
with that realization, though. ]}

Yeah, don't thank me for anything. Ever.

[He was amused to see the surprise on Kirk's face but he offered no other explanations. Even here it wasn't safe. He clasped his hands behind his back as he looked at Kirk.]

If you insist, though I've been told I very good at showing my appreciation when necessary. [Perhaps not directly but Hux liked to think he made his point.]

_{[ Kirk straightened up and cocked his brow, wondering if that was
blatant flirtation or the other bragging. He suspected the latter since the
other was more repressed than a Catholic school boy. But he walked back
over to him anyways, stopping not far from him and leaning in, dropping his
voice to a low, husky whisper. ]}

Oh, I remember how very good you were at it.

I would be surprised if you had forgotten so easily.

[Hux smirked, leaning in as well, planning on just teasing Kir so he didn't reach out. He preferred not to get dirt on his uniform and all over if he could help it.]

Hmm, it's a near thing. It's growing vaguer every day.

_{[ No, it wasn't, but he wasn't going to let Hux in exactly how much he had enjoyed their very rough and brief encounter. ]}

Repetition makes for a better memory.

You're lying. I have no doubt you remember every detail.

[Hux smirked with amusement as he stepped forward but he kept his hands clasped behind his back.]

You can just admit that you need a reminder- hopefully your shuttle isn't too far away.

I said I remembered, not how clearly. It wasn't exactly seared into my memories.

_{[ It was a direct challenge to Hux, poking at his pride with words and
a snarky smile. ]}

You're a terrible liar. But let's see how much you really remember- where is your shuttle?

[It's definitely a matter of pride right now.]

_{[ He smirked a bit, knowing he had gotten to him. ]}

What's the matter? Surely your not performance shy. Not like this place is exactly crowded.

Hardly, though I prefer not to have an audience. Also, I don't know if you noticed but this is a forest, not exactly the best place to continue this.

I think it's just the place.

_{[ He reached out to grab Hux by his shirt, to try and pull him close and then ride him down to the forest floor. ]}

You would, wo-

[He was cut off by Kirk suddenly grabbing him and before he knew it he felt his back hit the ground. He wouldn't let Kirk just get away with that and he reached out to pull him down just as roughly.]

You're so uncivilized. [But that didn't stop him from pulling Kirk down for a rough kiss nonetheless.]

It's the cleanest people who are the dirtiest, you know.

_{[ He kissed him back, though it was far from loving. It was more rough
passes of his tongue and sharp bites of his teeth than anything, a battle
rather than a union. ]}

[He didn't want loving and he didn't want gentle. He wanted the blood that he tasted on their lips and he didn't care that he couldn't tell whose it was. He forgot his protests, if Kirk wanted to play dirty than so would he.

He paused as he started to figure out Kirk's ridiculous suit, frowning.]

What in the Emperor's name are you wearing? Take it off.

_{[ Why the other had such problems with his suit, he would never know.
It was rather simple, really. Hux's own outfits were usually much more
complicated. As it was, he sat up and opened a flat at the top of his
jacket, exposing the zipper and working it down to show the black v-neck
beneath. He did it slowly - perhaps to mock Hux, or perhaps to rile him up.
Probably both. ]}

I'm going to chalk that one up to your natural impatience.

Ugh, you're insufferable.

[Whatever Kirk was doing had the intended effect as Hux just decided to reach up and yank the v-neck shirt. Of course, he wasn't being gentle and didn't pause even when he heard fabric rip in the process. The ripped shirt was tossed aside as he set about taking off his own uniform jacket and shirt.]

_{[ Oh, damn, and he liked that particular shirt. Good thing he had
quite a few of them, since they ended up getting torn quite a bit with Remy
too. In retaliation, his fingers dove for Hux's coat, tugging at it
sharply, not caring it bit into the other's skin or if buckles snapped.
]}

Pot calling the kettle black.

Here, you're going to tear something. [He helped Kirk finish getting his shirt and uniform jacket off, tossing them aside too. He would have to wash them later anyway.]

There. Now, pants off.

You first. I went first on my shirt.

_{[ Even as he says it, his hands dove downwards, not quite scrambling,
jerking Hux's belt and working at button and zipper with the practiced ease
of one who has done this many times, both quickly and not. ]}

I know you're impatient but at least let me get my boots off first. [He sat up more, shifting so he could start to push off his boots with annoyance. He at least appreciated that Kirk wasn't fumbling around.]
