[ He's turned away, line of sight focused elsewhere when he feels the curl of fingers along his wrist. Skin to skin contact, the warmth from Ren's fingertips sinking in, the fine hair on his forearms raising at the odd temperature shift. Hux stops immediately, tilts his chin down to glance at the connection point.
There isn't a demand, but the underlying request is more compelling. It feels like they're both holding their breath.
The tension morphs at Kylo's words and for once, he finds himself without an adequate response. This isn't one of his troopers thanking him. None of the commanders, officers, not any of the other hosts. It's Kylo Ren, someone he's struggled with and alongside for years.
He doesn't think he's ever been thanked like this in his whole life.
Something about that tightens in his chest, pushes the air up in his windpipe and catches. Maybe it's the dizziness during that has him reaching out with his free hand, fingers hesitant as they slide along Ren's jawline and tilt his face up. Maybe it's the confusion too, that leads him to lean down to brush his lips along Ren's, as though he'll get his breath back this way. ]
