| IMAGINE for @tinker141 |

    Kylo walks into the room he shares with his son, Quinn. He stops, his eyebrows raising in surprise as he sees Quinn decked out in all black, his clothes exactly like Kylo's. Kylo slowly looks down at his own clothing and then back to Quinn, who is like his mini-clone.
     You, Kylo's wife, had died in childbirth, and Kylo has had to raise Quinn on his own.
     Kylo coughs, grinning. Quinn stops adjusting his clothes and the little five year old turns around, before letting out a squeal and screaming, "Daddy!". Quinn runs into his father's arms and Kylo hugs him tightly.
     "How're you, my boy?" He asks, ruffling his son's hair, so like his own.
     "I missed you so much!" Quinn exclaims. Kylo had been gone for a couple of weeks on a mission for Supreme Leader Snoke.
     "I missed you too." Kylo says, kneeling down in front of Quinn. He smiles at his son. "I see you're wearing new clothes." He comments.
     Quinn beams proudly. "I wanted to look just like you." He states.
     "So I gather." Kylo laughs.
     "I couldn't find a mask that looked like yours though." Quinn admits, frowning. Kylo places a quick kiss on his son's head and stands.
     "That's all right. You look better without a mask anyways." He says.
     "But I want to look just like you, daddy! And if I don't have a mask..." Quinn trails off.
     "Son, you don't have to look exactly like me. You have to carry bits of your mother with you, so we can both remember her." Kylo says, smiling softly.
     Quinn grins. "You're right." He replies.
     "Now I have to go do some work with General Hux. I'll be back later." Kylo says, grabbing his mask before leaving the room.
     Quinn waits a few minutes before grabbing his red stick and exiting the room. He walks down the empty ship corridor while swinging his make-believe lightsaber around. The hall is filled with the sounds of Quinn's occasionally grunts and lightsaber swooshing noises.

     "What do you mean you lost the information?" Kylo grits out angrily to the commander as he's choking him. "You know Supreme Leader Snoke needed that information, and now you've lost it?!" He shouts. The commander gasps, his eyes wide.
     "Um, sir?" Captain Phasma asks.
     "What is it?" Kylo asks, looking at her. She nods her head to the entrance of the room where Quinn stands, his hand outstretched, pretending to be choking the commander as well. As soon as Kylo spots him, he stops choking the commander. The commander crumbles to the ground, coughing and gasping.
     "Quinn, what are you doing here?" Kylo asks, walking over to his son. Quinn looks up at him.
     "I want to learn from you. I want to... " He look to the commander and outstretched his hand again. "I want to learn how to choke people." He finishes darkly.
     Eyes widened in horror, Kylo grabs his son's arm and lowers it. "Um, I think we need to have a talk." He states, putting his arm around the boy's shoulders. The two walk out of the room.
     "Uh, Quinn, sometimes I-I do things that I regret later. I let my anger get the best of me. I don't want to let that happen to you. You're a young boy with not as much as innocence as you should have. You've experienced a lot living here on the ship, and if your mother was alive, I believe things would be different. You can't go around wanting to hurt people—wanting to choke them." Kylo explains.
     "But you do it all the time, daddy." Quinn replies, turning his eyes up on to his father.
     Kylo winces. "Well, yeah, but-but that's different. I usually regret choking them." He explains. Kylo looks down at Quinn. "The main thing is that you don't always have to do what I do. Be your own man instead." He says.
     "Does that mean I can't follow you around anymore, or I can't dress like you?" Quinn asks worriedly.
     "No, no, no, of course not. You can do all those things, but just don't forget to be your own man." Kylo says. Quinn nods with understanding. "I love you, Quinn." Kylo says.
     "I love you too, Daddy." Quinn says, smiling.
[THE END] I hope you liked it!
