Chapter Text
“No.”
“But Huuuux,” Kylo drew out the man’s name in a whine, clinging to the orange pumpkin in his hands.
“I said no.” Hux only stared at Kylo, not quite glaring, but his expression serious enough to scare most people. Unfortunately, Kylo had gotten quite good at ignoring it, especially when there was something he wanted.
“Why not? It’s festive! It’ll bring some fall cheer to our house!”
Hux rolled his eyes. “We don’t need any ‘fall cheer’ in the house. There’s plenty of cheer already.”
“...Right. I don’t think two abstract paintings and a vase of dead flowers count as cheer.”
A sniff and averted gaze. “Well if someone had watered the flowers. And those paintings are nice!”
“Nice if you want it to look like a child painted them.”
“Those were expensive!”
“And I hate them. Please Hux! It’s not even a real pumpkin. It won’t turn to mush and it’ll be nice. What’s wrong with decorating for fall?”
Hux stared at Kylo for a few long seconds, the dark-haired man looking at him with those large eyes, bottom lip puffed out just slightly in a pout that he wanted to kiss off. A sigh. He’d known he was going to lose this battle as soon as it started.
“Fine. You can have the pumpkin.”
Kylo grinned and leaned in, pressing his lips to Hux’s cheek in a quick kiss. It took everything in his power not to let his expression fall into a soft smile, but still, his lips quirked upwards, warmth spreading through him even at such an innocent display of affection. It was a wonder he hadn’t gotten tired of it yet.
“Now to the Halloween section for more decorations!”
“Kylo no!”
“Kylo yes!”
