#anyway what if Kylo pretended to be a look alike so people would treat him mean

Post-tros. Hux survives, makes a living doing whatever while keeping his head down so no one recognizes him. Sometimes it’s bounties, sometimes it’s mercenary work, sometimes it’s repairs - whatever can get food in his mouth and fuel in the stolen ship he flies. It’s not what he imagined, but he’s alive.

He’s at a port when he hears a rumour. There’s a brothel nearby with a very in demand worker there. A man who supposedly bears a striking resemblance to the former supreme leader and who’s masochistic enough to really cash in on it. They said one could do anything that didn’t leave a permanent mark and there were plenty of people who had enough hate for the Order that the offer of taking it out on a singular person was enticing. They talked about how pretty he was when he cried and how he’d just beg for more even with tears in his eyes. Hux scoffed - he doubted he really looked that much like him.

But it stays in his mind after he leaves, during his next couple of jobs, and it’s still there when he returns to that port. He doesn’t know what he wants exactly, if it’s curiosity at how strong the resemblance is, his own anger that begs to be released, or something else he doesn’t want to acknowledge. Once, he thinks, he would’ve had the will to resist. Now, he doesn’t see the point. He had the credits. Worst case scenario, he could at least get his dick wet. He didn’t want to think about the fact that he hadn’t been with anyone since Ren, before it all went wrong.

When he gets there, though, it’s immediately clear it’s not a resemblance. He’d know Ren’s face anywhere and this wasn’t someone who looked like Ren but without the scar. It was Ren.

They stare at each other, both unsure what to do. Flee? Fight? Pretend it never happened?

Hux moves, slowly, to close the door, raking his eyes along Ren’s body such that his intentions can’t be mistaken. Ren gives him a lopsided smile, just sharp enough to clearly be his. They could figure out what to with this later. For now, well, why not indulge in what they both were here for?
