[So Kylo is honestly saying that his feelings haven't changed at all? It's not out of some duty? Perhaps Hux misinterpreted what he was saying and he's just been blinded by his insecurities to see that. With a hard swallow, he looks away from the other man, and he doesn't look much better than before.
It's obvious that Kylo is getting upset too, judging by the smoke penetrating through the room. Normally he wouldn't care too much, but.]
I. ...It's nothing. [He's quiet now and much of his anger is slowly disappearing. Hux suddenly feels tired and he definitely doesn't want to talk about how inadequate he feels to his partner.] I'm sorry.
[It's a relief to have the topic end in such a way—it's tired Kylo out too, and he lets out a breath after the apology. The scent begins to dissipate, leaving a pleasant one rather than something suffocating.
Rather than expressing his acceptance in words, he steps forward to pull Armitage into an embrace, resting his head against the other man's. Hopefully they can move past this.]
