Weird DubCon Sex (Rey taking advantage of Kylo I'm freely admitting to my trash)

SHIPS I AM MAYBE ON
Kylo/Poe: I'm not of the fanon that Ben or Poe knew each other as kids. If you want to play that, talk with me first, we'll need to hash out details. If you wanna do hateship, that's fine too. Again. I'd like to be consulted first
Kylo/Hux: This is such a huge maybe it's almost a no. I am not down for fluffy Kylo/Hux. I don't think Kylo or Hux secretly love each other and that takes form in them wanting to murder each other when they walk into a room and see each other. I do not think Kylo wants anything to do with Hux's dick Ever. I only see this happening as Hux taking advantage of Kylo when he's emotionally compromised and unprotected without Snoke keeping Hux in line.
So Kylux is only a "cool lets do it" if you are willing to play out something unhealthy, toxic, with a huge dose of hate and manipulation. Kylo/ANYONE ELSE: Not against pretty much any other ship, but Kylo's a hard dude to ship with for. A lot of reasons. Talk with me first, and I'll see if we can work something out.

Mental health

I know everyone and their mom with an armchair psychologist degree wants to diagnose Kylo Ren/Ben Solo with whatever mental illness checks all the boxes. I know Bipolar and Borderline personality disorder are two popular illnesses to cite when it comes to his mental health. Along with a healthy dose of citing him as a sociopath/psychopath. However, I'm not going to be using those illnesses/personality disorders in how I play Kylo. While they fit on paper, I don't believe "what's wrong with him" presents in the correct fashion in canon for any one of the above listed issues.

I believe Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is suffering from: Recurring Chronic Major Depression it could be passed down through their family given what we know of Anakin and what happened with Luke; Post Traumatic Stress Disorder From his force powers manifesting with him having little control over it as a kid, from being sent away to Luke after his mother couldn't handle him on her own anymore, from his father leaving one day and never coming back, from having a voice whispering in his head his entire life, from that voice being a predator who preyed on his weaknesses and molded him into what he wanted Ben to be, from Luke Skywalker holding a lightsaber above his head, from abuse after abuse from Snoke, and probably a Ton more. Abandonment issues stemming first from his parents (And quite probably friends he had who left for whatever reason, or bridges he burned on his own) and then just. The entire force tbh. And abandonment issues is where he gets his unchecked rage, he, in canon, is quite literally triggered into a rage whenever he confronts someone who he felt abandoned him, or when he feels rejected or left behind. Finally he is a victim of Brainwashing and indoctrination from Snoke. Snoke is a narcissist who was using Kylo as a means to an end, it's been stated and shown that he was ready to kill Kylo after the Last Jedi since he had become unbalanced and unpredictable. If you don't agree with what I am saying here (Which is fine :) ), then I suggest you don't play with me. I am fairly confident in this being the way I see and play Kylo.

I play him as having triggers. I won't get into the reasoning behind each one, but i'll specify the specifics which come to mind: Abandonment (Perceived or real), his family, loss of control (Physically, emotionally, mentally, through the force)

[forcevisions]

[ IT'S A DEFENSE MECHANISM TO DENY THAT SHE'S A SLAVE TOO GIVE HER A BREAK.

Anyway, there's an awkward pause here before — ]

Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader.

[ She's heard that story. It made the rounds, after the big coming out party for Leia Organa. Yikes. She's not sure that's the comparison she wants to be drawn against on multiple levels. But it ain't wrong. ]

[vaderstan]

[ A chuckle there-- perhaps a little dark but i know what gets your panties wet. ]

So you've heard it as well.

[ Man gossip travels so fucking quickly he should be less surprised that the ass crack of the universe has heard the news. ]

Anakin had great potential in the light and dark-- unfortunately the path he took was one which led him to become Darth Vader.

[forcevisions]

[ That's the chuckle of 'should I let this guy be at my back right now.' Now that they're talking about it, she's realizing, well, that is his grandpa and he has been talking about the familiarity of that darkness.

But it's been clinging to her too. She can't disparage him for it.

Regardless, it's a bleak picture. In many ways, for them both. She goes back to working on the fuel injector. It comes free now, and she starts to wiggle her way back out of the crawl space. She sort of figures that her movement will cue him and she doesn't need to worry about a heads up. This may not be true if he's still deliberately avoiding staring at her. ]

[vaderstan]

[ Yeah your panties are still wet for it rey. Ur that girl. lbr.

And Whoops Yeah definitely was Not Looking at her so when she comes wiggling out, her ass is going to collide with his shin and he's just-- Yikes. Hops out of the way quickly. No underage ass touching, please. Plz. ]

Sorry.

[forcevisions]

It's fine.

[ She finishes climbing out and stands, dusting herself off and gets a look at him and— ]

You're twitchy.

[ Weirdo. She doesn't seem to expect that to go anywhere, though, so she swaps him the fuel injector for the flashlight, which she turns off and tucks into her bag. Unless he avoids it, there's gasp fingers brushing.

She points behind him. ]

The fuel lines wind all the way up to the cockpit. Do you know where to find them? We'll need to detach them at both sides before we can start coiling them, so I was thinking if you can go detach them on that end, I can start on this side and meet you there when I'm done.

[vaderstan]

[ "Twitchy"???? Excuse HIM for not wanting to get Full Teenage Ass to the leg.

Also finger-brushing is fine. He can handle finger brushing. It's the Ass he is worried about. I mean I'd say tits too but....

Everyone looks at Rey's chest...

Anyhow he's recovering quickly. They still have shit to do and he doesn't want his dad to have any more ammo then he already (always) has.

He'll take a cursory look around and-- ]

Yeah I can do that.

[ He says with more confidence than me because I am not a mechanic/scavenger/machine head. On Jakku or on Earth. Anyway, he's good. He's done this shit since he was a kid. He'll start to head out and towards the cockpit, but not before saying: ]

If you need anything, just shout.

[ She needs you sweaty and shirtless against her. A lot. ]

[forcevisions]

[ He slips out and she watches him go. Like, really watches him go, if you know what I mean. And then she gets back into the crawl space and starts unhooking fuel lines.

It's tedious work. And it works well to distract her for that reason. Rey can shut the darkness out without any conscious effort, clearing her mind in the monotony. It's an hour, nearly two later when she heads to the cockpit. She's sweating at this point, and it's only compounded with how dirty she was already. She's definitely not living her best, freshest life.

She comes up from behind him, clanging around. ]

How's it going in here?

[vaderstan]

[ He's bent at an awkward angle and twisting at the last line. The main thing which has slowed him down is the fact that he's not a tiny person, or even an averaged sized person. He's fucking huge and that just makes fitting into any relatively small space not a great time.


But it also means this time. His ass is up for admiration as he's bent under the control panel and having to use the side of the pilot's chair as leverage as he tugs at the line. ]

Almost. [ Mumbled and-- at the very least he still had his gloves on him because oh my god this ship is so fucking dirty.
But a few more twists and a good thorough tug and it comes loose.

He braces a hand on he control panel above him (He's already banged the crown of his head on it a few times. He's ~learned~) and pushes back so he can twist to direct his attention to Rey. ]

I think I got it.

[ You know, someone (mun or muse) want to make up an excuse for her to crawl in there with him. Otherwise he's finished,


And so ready for a shower. Oh my god what a glorious day. ]

[forcevisions]

[ Yeah, Rey would love to help him with a good, thorough tug. She's feeling that too, surveying his position. She gets caught when he turns around, but she doesn't look flustered. It's not like that. She's drawn to him as a teacher, as a guide in the Force. The bond they share is something beyond the fact that his ass is so well shaped. ]

Perfect. Go ahead and start pulling them out. I'll coil them, and we can check on the water tanks. Then we can get out of here.

[ Together. She feels weird saying that after all this time, but … She's ready. She thinks. ]

[vaderstan]

[ Dear kylo ren, stop wearing dresses and tunics so we can see Ben Solo's ass. Sincerely, the world.

For now i can only imagine what Rey is seeing.

He gives her a curt little nod and starts pulling, handing off the length to her. He notes that maybe he should be disturbed how easily it is to form a routine with her. Most times when partnered with someone, they'd get frustrated with his quiet or how quick he was to pick up on certain tasks. Here he worries about neither.

And for this moment, he won't pry about how she feels about the whole. Leaving Jakku thing. He feels she's got enough swirling around her head already, no need to add more. ]

[forcevisions]

[ Yeah I bet he wants to hand off the length to her. Alright. Innuendo aside, Rey takes it as he continues to pull it free of the wall panel and coils it. The fuel line clunks around in the wall paneling as it drags from the engineering bay clear this way.

It's boring work, but she's able to enjoy his company in the quiet. She's used to the quiet, and having someone to share it with makes it companionable .Warmer, somehow.

Eventually they get both coiled up and Rey hooks one loop over her shoulder, gesturing for Kylo to do the same with the other fuel line. Then she waves him on with her and circles around the ship to the reservoirs.

They're tucked away under some other shit, hidden by floor panels, so she drops the coiled fuel lines and starts to open those floor panels up. ]

Thanks for helping me with this.

[ The floor panels come up and reveal a wide basin the size of an above-ground pool but tucked away inside the ship's flooring. It's probably a 3,000 gallon tank, but it doesn't look entirely full. Maybe two third of the way, judging by the minor sloshing going on from Rey moving around.

The opening to the tank is pretty wide, notably. It's meant to fit a giant three-foot diameter hose to fill it speedily. ]

[vaderstan]

[ HES NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT TOO DEEPLY (heh heh) AT THE MOMENT. HE DOES NOT WANT TO HAND OFF HIS LENGTH TO ANYONE HE IS FINE WITH HIS LENGTH IN HIS PANTS.

But even he has to admit the silence is nice. He was honestly afraid for a huge long interrogation about his family and what they were like and if hey had proof of their adventures and the usual 20 questions bullshit. Like.... it's Very nice that Rey, though excited about his family, isn't treating this like an interview for a high school research paper. In turn, he's not being a jack ass and trying to take the lead. He does truthfully know his way around ships, but Rey seems to be a competent (if not OSHA breaking) lead. His ego is not hurt by following a 14 year old girl. ]

Well it does mean an extra couple of minutes in the shower.

[ Amicable joking. Ben Solo you are Done For.

He places the hoses next to hers and kinda circles around the basin of water. It's a lot. Like Han and Chewie would look at this and shrug. Heavily. A lot. ] What's the plan?

[ Glancing up to her in the dim lighting. Between not quite swolo and girl with surprising strength, they aren't to be underestimated. ]

[forcevisions]

There is no plan.

[ Rey climbs down on top of the tank and loosens the seal on the tank. The circular lid twists and releases some pressure with a popping sound. She pulls it away and shoves it up on top of the floor panels to look in. ]

It doesn't look too bad. Worth filtering, for sure.

[ Two days ago, she'd have drunk from it right now. But she has a mostly full canteen on her hip today, thanks to Ben. She pulls out her flashlight and shines it down and … grimaces a little. ]

There's debris.

[ She looks up at him and shakes her head. ]

The water's mostly clean, but debris like that'll get stuck in a filtration system. Tear it all to pieces.

[ So they have mostly clean water but for the floaty silt and peeled plastic that make it death to a ship's filtration system. And two really sweaty bodies. I hope I don't have to spell out where this is obviously going. ]

I'm sorry, Ben.

[vaderstan]

[ Um. I have no idea where this is going. I am a PG-13 RPer Who plays Clean Wholesome threads and I am horrified by any implication you are making. Wow. Gosh.

Anywho.

Ben just watches her silently, kinda thinking back to when he was 14 and a Shit Head. Man Leia would have a field day with this girl--

Yikes. Turning off those thoughts. Thoughts about how his parents would probably adore her and either that makes him adopting her as a sister or creeping on her like some sort of child bride and He is just NOT having a great time with this line of thought.

Shake it off like my girl T, Ben.

He shakes his head a bit and gives her a bit of a grin. ]

It's okay, I didn't want to Force Lift this entire thing out of here anyway.

[ Stop unconsciously talking about your powers to show off to girls who are already infatuated with you Ben Solo. Stop talking. Just Stop. Almost said stop existing but then I remembered Kylo Ren and HAHA WOW.

He'll make his way over to grab both spools of tubes-- ]

I'll be able to get a longer shower soon enough. Let's just get out of here.

[forcevisions]

[ Rey sits back on her heels, huffing out a sigh. It feels like a stupid thing now that it's more effort than it's worth. His joke about the Force Lift (because it surely must have been a joke — no one could lift two thousand gallons of water in a three thousand gallon tank) doesn't even get a full laugh out of her because, well, she'd invested her hopes into being able to do this one stupid thing for him.

It shouldn't be a big deal. ]

It seems a shame to just leave it.

[ She looks up at him. The flashlight makes evident the spots where fuel had stained her clothes from disconnecting the lines, and it's sticky and mixed with the oil and grease and dirt on the patches of exposed skin. She leans over the opening — considerable in size, easily large enough for a person to slip in through — and dips her fingertips in the water.

She's scarcely seen so much usable water before in her life. Whenever she did, it wasn't hers. She'd probably have been killed for using any of it in those circumstances. ]

It's warm. [ from being buried underground for so long probably. Not hot, exactly, but a solid eighty plus degrees. She looks up at Ben. ]

What was that you were saying about a hot bath?

[vaderstan]

[ -- This is not PG-13 RP. Ben Solo's brain has disconnected.


This is illegal. In some systems (not the one they are in currently surely But).

Okay he had been walking around shirtless earlier but shirtless was a whole different thing from. Like. Bathing. Naked. (Remember how we mocked him for freaking out about showering naked. FULL CIRCLE BABY. THATS WHAT I AM HERE FOR) He's those gifs of people looking at numbers and trying to figure them out because there is the balance of wanting to please girl he has suddenly become V V attached to. But also not wanting to break any laws and even being naked in close proximity FEELs LikE pREYING ON HER?

I hope you read that with out taking a breath that's what it's like in his head right now. ]

You don't want to see me naked.

[ Is the fucking dumbest response to say so of course he's going to blurt it out like a dumbass. ]

[forcevisions]

I didn't tell you to get naked.

[ This is immediate and in a perfectly reasonable tone of voice. She's glad she pointed that out before just stripping off some of her scavenging gear now, as she might have otherwise instinctually have done. He seems to be handling the suggestion badly. Rey looks pretty confused as to why, though. He hadn't seemed at all shy when he was flaunting his chest earlier. ]

We're both wearing underwear, yeah? [ She gestures into the hole of the tank. ] So we can rinse off the worst of it here and take as long as we like without your father standing outside checking his chrono to make sure you haven't taken too long.

[vaderstan]

[ How is she so reasonable about this? Does she not realize that this is super danger zone? Like not because he's got an uncontrollable raging hard-on around her, he's not 14, but. She's a Kid and-- Maybe he's over thinking this. He's definitely over thinking this. Like. Number one criticism of Ben Solo at any time beyond when he gets Too Dark Side is "You're thinking too much, Ben".

Right. Again. She was just being kind. She was disappointed when she couldn't give Ben a nice Gift of extra water.

You are being the Pervert here, Ben. BAD BEN. BAD. ]

As long as you're comfortable.

[ OOooooo i am sure she's more than comfortable with the prospect of being near an almost naked you, dude.

Besides, there is no chris hansen asking him to take a seat and she hasn't run off giggling about how she has to go Grab something really quick. This is fine. This is all fine. How are you?

Okay.... He's... removing his gloves now as well as dropping those coils. And then his eye gear and Nathan Drake cowl-- slowly. But it is a sign that this is Okay. Being near naked with Underage girls is Fine. ]

[forcevisions]

[ Perfect. Yes. This is cool and great. It's not at all concerning the way she feels her pulse quicken when she watches him strip out of his gloves. Suddenly aware of her breath, Rey feels the world around her slow down. As though it were dilating around them.

Cool and great and normal.

Recognizing that she is staring, Rey drops her gaze and looks down at her own outfit. Like, surprise, there are underwear in space. Fuck you, George Lucas. So it should be fine.

But she's … never taken her clothes off in front of someone before. Ever. Not even his level of cavalier from earlier. She's seen the girls that people find attractive. Well, that humans find attractive anyway. There's plenty who get by on a different set of skills than Rey gets by on here. They're all curves and smooth skin and dark fluttering eyes and Rey, she's bony and muscled and underfed.

That's not the point, she reminds herself. She's not trying to attract anyone. She shifts to a better sitting position on the tank and strips off her boots, tossing them up to join the pile he's making of his clothes amongst the coiled fuel lines. Then she stands and works off her belt and hood and goggles.

Yep. This is a thing people do. ]

[vaderstan]

[ Thank god he put on his undies after that trip in the refresher. Like. He was seriously considering going commando just because He and Han are working on some Limited clothes resources right now. And YEAH his aren't especially dirty-- ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO HIS FATHER BUT


He was thinking of just leaving them off. The only thing that stopped him is he had no where to Put the fuckers with out a proper room.

By god he can't wait to get back to civilization.

And he's wearing less than Rey (FOR FUKCING ONCE), so it takes him a shorter amount of time to shuck off his boots and then his shirt and then his belt and

there's a pause as he reaches. The pants.

But he's not wearing whitey tighties. Like space boxer briefs. Let's be tasteful here okay. This thread is full of taste. Taste for the younger kind.

When he's finished he glances up and it feels distinctly wrong to look at her while she's stripping. But. Just think about it as if it was... bathing suits? Do they have bathing suits in space? Probably. Or like she was in a tube full of Bacta after getting super fucked up by Darth Vader. Nudity is not sexual. You are over thinking this Ben Solo.

Not gonna ask her if she's finished because that seems. Lewd. So, just bite the bullet. WHat are you gonna do? Wait for her to invite you in? NO that is definitely crossing a line. Just stride on over with the confidence you had in going into that refresher earlier. Yeah.

One Ben Swolo checking into Water Basin of Sin. Sitting on the ledge in front of her before lowering himself in and Wondering about all his life choices. ]

[forcevisions]

[ The trouble with boxer-briefs is that they're not all that different than whitey tighties and when he comes down to join her, Rey looks up because eyes track movement and — R'iia's shorts, she can see everything. She now knows way too much about the way his body is built. Like. She could probably diagram every muscle — yes, even that one — just based on what she can see right now.

She focuses on pulling off her sash instead of looking at him slipping into the water. And then she's down to things that she actually … needs … to remove. Like, once either the shirt or pants go, she'll be more naked than she's ever been in front of another person. But he'd gotten undressed quicker. It should be easy.

She starts with the shirt. Stripping it over her head in one smooth motion, she discards it among his clothes, leaving her in a plain band wrapped around her breasts to flatten them and hold them secure. It's not graceful, but it has straps. She starts unraveling her arm bands and piles those too.

Somehow the pants feels like an event horizon, but she strips out of those two, feeling more awkward when she has to bend to step out of them and pick them up off the tank to set aside. Her panties have seen better days, alright. They might have been new once. It's not clear what color they were originally because uneven and vigorous washings have left them sort of grayish, white in some patches, and so forth. The elastic is worn enough for them to be slightly loose.

There's no way she looks attractive, she concludes. So she grabs her flashlight and uses the clip on it to fasten it to the mouth of the tank before she slides in to join him, all in a hurry so that he doesn't see her underwear for that long before they're submerged.

She can't swim, but the water itself is only some four feet deep. Standing room only in this bath. It's warm, warmer for the enclosed space and for the fact that she is blushing, looking at how much of his bare chest sticks up out of it.

Some sand and silt sticks to the bottom of the tank, grainy between her toes. They'd have never been able to filter this, but it helps take the grease and oil right off of her body. She rubs her hands over her arms to help rinse it away all at once. ]

[vaderstan]

[ Rey. On record this was all your idea.

Fortunately, he has no grand desire to try and check her or her teenage ass out at the moment. He wonders how much is too much looking and too much... not looking, because he doesn't want her to feel weird about this.

Man, Ben Solo you are making Legit the worst sexual predator I have ever seen. Your parents would be disgusted and proud right now. And probably super confused.

He's making work of rubbing at the grease on his forearms and shoulders for the moment. It's easier not to concentrate on how Illegal this all feels if he concentrates on the task of ridding his body of the filth that has accumulated. He's still gonna be finding sand in Every different crack for days, but... he does admit. The temp of the water is nice. Even if it barely hits his sternum. Nips are on full display as he rubs at his pecs here y I KEs.

Also this quiet washing is now officially unnerving. Even for Intense introverts. Fuck you Rey. Time for a conversation. ]

I've told you what I know about Jedi. [ And as awkward as all this is-- the frustrating bit is his back, however. Even with his gangly limbs he's kinda.. Struggling with reaching it properly. Stretching and contorting his face as he struggles to reach part of it.

Maybe he just needs to dunk his head in the water. Seems like an idea. ] What do you know?

[ Jedi, his family. it's all up for grabs really. ]

[forcevisions]

[ If you can believe it, Rey has literally never been submerged in water like this. It's a true testament to Ben's pecs that they distract her adequately from splashing and playing in it. But seriously, the closet thing to a bath she has had was a shallow basin filled with muddy water that would have better served for feeding animals than washing in. It's always been as sparing as possible. Luckily the dry air of the Jakku desert keeps things from getting truly smelly and funky.

But even Ben's pecs can't distract her for that long. She cups her hands in the water and lifts it up, letting it spill through her fingers. Then she crouches a little, bending her knees so that the water level goes right up under her chin. She's afraid to go further for risk of drowning. Yes, drowning in four feet of water. ]

Hm?

[ She obviously hadn't been expecting a question. ]

Why don't you like to talk about them?

[ She cuts to the quick, skipping past all the bullshit. ]

And don't lie and say it doesn't bother you either. I can tell. Even now you're offering me information like you'd sooner have all your teeth pulled. [ She looks up at him as she says this and notices him struggling with cleaning off his back. She bites down on any offer of assistance. That would be inappropriate, right? ]

[vaderstan]

[ Oh my god, he was trying to make semi-pleasant bath talk. Not turn this into an interrogation of his Issues. HE IS NOTING YOU AVOIDED HIS QUESTION FYI. ]

When you're at the tail end of a legacy like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader it may become easier to understand. [ Okay wow. Harsh. That's a jab at her that is Way too harsh. Especially because she's young and honestly curious and MAYBE SUPER BLUNT but she hasn't been the typical. Starry eyed fangirl only into him because of his family. He sort of. Gives up on trying to get to his back and shakes his head. ] Sorry.

[ Getting an apology out of him is a miracle. He's snapped at plenty of curious acquaintances for digging too deep. Asking too many questions. He hasn't been easy to get along with recently. The dichotomy of being happier and yet also grouchier. ]

My mother and father pulled me out of training at Luke's. No one's really explained to me why. [ A huff of breath before he dips down and gets his head in the water. Has to get his hair wet a Little at least. Probably will get sand stuck to it later but fUck it. worth it to get at the sweat collecting in his hair line.

Ignore the hair flick he does. It is definitely illegal in this system. ] They didn't tell me that my grandfather was Darth Vader. I found out through the holos right when I was starting with Luke a couple years back.


[ Basically, Rey, you are meeting an idealist who had his entire fucking world flipped on his head. Combined with being looked at as a monster, sent off to Luke and then finding out you shared blood with The Monster.

It's a pretty fucking confusing time for a guy who got a lightsaber thrust into his hand. ]

[ Once wet, his hair clings to his neck, following the generous slope of muscle there, making it look longer than it is. She likes it that way. Not that it matters how she likes his hair. She shouldn't be focusing on this when he's obviously angry with her — or frustrated, at least. He's snapped at her, found her soft underbelly and gone for that.

He knows she has no one.

Rey sinks lower in the water, disappearing below it and pinching her nose to hold her breath as she soaks her hair, turning her buns limp and silly looking. She crouches down while she's holding her breath, forces her eyes open, and tries to get a look at the silt at the bottom of the ship's tank. How did this get in here without the tank losing pressure? Without the water leaking out? She'd rather focus on these things than acknowledge him.

It just … it hurts. ]
