Ice, Ice Baby: Chapter 2

So I did a think and wrote chapter two. Here’s the AO3 link to the whole story: http://archiveofourown.org/works/13164735?view_full_work=true

Chapter Two: Find What Feels Good

Rey hurried home to relax and do a private, at-home yoga session for herself to get some of her residual tension out. She tried to start with meditation, but she had a very difficult time forcing her brain to stop thinking, so she switched over to a flow pretty quickly. She knew the reason she was so hyped up was because of Kylo, but she didn’t want to text him something stupid and then have everything be weird.

After finishing her flow, she grabbed her phone and headed to her fridge, grabbing some left over green soup from her fridge to eat for dinner, along with a spoon. She settled down on the couch and started up Netflix, choosing The Office, before looking down at her phone with a frown on her face.

‘Okay, Rey, you can do this, it’s easy. Just send him the link to your video and pretend it’s not weird.’ Rey found the link to her video from her youtube channel where she provided free yoga videos for home practice and copy-pasted it into a message to Kylo.

Hey Kylo, it’s Rey. This is the video link I wanted to give you for help with your knees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfSlEgg4ApE&t=239s I hope it helps with everything.

Before Rey can second guess herself she hits send and resists the urge to throw her phone far, far away from her. She begins paying attention to The Office and laughs when she realizes it’s the episode where they go on a “booze cruise” as an office. Although Rey wouldn’t trade being a yoga instructor for anything, she does wish she had a coworker to commiserate with at times.

Suddenly, her phone vibrates next to her and she gasps a little bit as she realizes that Kylo must have texted her back.

Thanks so much for this, Rey. I’m gonna start on this video after I finish eating dinner.

Well, fuck. That means he’ll find out really soon that it’s her video. She hopes he doesn’t say anything about it to the others, which feels selfish considering it’s out there on the internet for anybody to see, but most people she knows don’t watch those videos. She doesn't know why she's even sending it to him, when she knows there are tons of other ones on youtube.

Kylo

Kylo sighs as he eats his chicken parm with pasta and a side of green vegetables. He’s already getting tired of this meal and he’s only halfway through the season, but it’s one of the best things to get the right amount of protein, carbs, fat, and vegetables in his diet. He eats it about 4 times a week. He stabs his fork through a broccoli stem pretty forcefully and feels vindictive as he eats it, wishing he was eating a burger or French fries, or basically anything other than this stupid fucking broccoli.

When his phone pings, he’s surprised for a second, wondering who on God’s stupid green earth would be texting him, before he remembers the video that Rey said she would send to him. His eyebrows raise as he reads her message, and he’s surprised to find that he actually wants to try the videos.

Kylo had tried basically everything for his knees. Hockey is a rough sport, and about 2 years ago, he’d been hit in a knee on knee collision and it really fucked up his left leg. There were rumors it would be the end of his career, but he made it out. It was difficult, and it took a long time to recover, but he couldn’t let down his team. He’s 30 years old, which is getting toward the end for hockey players. Hockey was a young man’s game, and after putting everything on hold for 12 years, he was ready to move on to something new in his life.

Stopping himself from getting lost in his thoughts, Kylo texts her back thanking her for the video and letting her know he would try it soon. It’s interesting how his trainers had been getting on him to take better care of his knee and he had always resisted until now. All it took was a recommendation from Rey and he was ready to start trying to fix his knee all over again.

Forcing himself to push down the hope in his chest, he checks his phone to see if she’s responded to him yet. As if she knew he was waiting, his phone lights up as soon as he looks at it.

I hope it’s not too weird.

That immediately catches his attention. Why would the yoga video be weird? He gives up on the 3 bites that are left of his chicken parm and clicks on the link she sent him. His breath catches in his throat when he realizes the video is of her. She’s wearing red yoga leggings and a grey tank top, and when he realizes that most of the leggings are mesh, he feels his heart stutter. How the hell has this woman caught his interest in this way?

Weird because it’s you? Not at all. It makes it a little easier, actually.

He doesn’t know how she’ll take the last part of his text message, but he hopes she doesn’t think he’s creepy. She seemed to be avoiding his eyes during the yoga session, but he couldn’t stop looking at her. She wasn’t just pretty, she had so much control over everything. Her voice and breath were always calm and even, something Kylo had an issue with even when he wasn’t angry. She could literally move her body in ways that seemed impossible to him as a tall, muscular hockey player.

Kylo hesitates before clicking on her youtube profile name, wanting to see more of what she does. His eyes widen when he sees the hundreds of videos on her channel, and his eyes instantly start to flick between all of the videos and her different outfits and is that a dog? He takes a deep breath and forces himself to calm down. Just do the video, Kylo, and see how it feels and if it helps.

Okay, well let me know if it helps or if you have any questions!

Ben sighs and sets up the video on his Xbox in his living room, hoping to god he can get through it and that it might actually help and that maybe, just maybe, he won’t have an inappropriate reaction to it. He mashes the x button to start the video probably a little too hard, but it’ll be fine. He can do this.

The video starts and his shoulders start to relax just from hearing her voice. He wonders if his teammates would feel the same way after their yoga session today, or if it’s just him. He grabs a blanket from the couch as she says he’ll need one and settles into a seated position on his rug, hoping it’ll be okay as a yoga mat for tonight. Her intro clip plays and he gives a soft smile at the sight of her youth. He watches the video and realizes about 15 seconds in that he should be doing something, not just sitting there staring at her.

He puts the blanket under his knees as she instructs and listens to her soft laughs as she goes through what they’re going to be working on and what to look out for. Kylo almost laughs at himself for how seriously he’s taking this. When he was younger, he would have immediately shot down the idea of yoga, thinking it was hippy bullshit that was a waste of time. He had been a firecracker when he was younger, which is part of the reason why he had changed his name to Kylo Ren. Kylo knew that he was changing again in his age, and that although he was still passionate and obsessed with hockey, he was tired of being Kylo Ren.

He watched as she smiled and pet her dog with her feet. His eyes and body followed what she was doing, feeling his muscles stretch and contract. He usually didn’t pay this much attention to his body, but looking and feeling his body do what he asked it to do, he couldn’t help but feel thankful that he was still somewhat healthy and could still walk.

He lay on his back as she did, pushing his blanket haphazardly under his head. Bending his knees, he let them fall open, sighing at the stretch in his groin muscles. He watched as she deliberately moved her legs together and then lifted them up and straightened them. He followed her movements and voice, letting it wash over him. He relishes in the moments when she looks at the camera, feeling like she’s looking at him.

She starts to get into some light ab exercises and he follows them easily, letting his thoughts drift to his day and how practice had gone. They had practiced hard, as always. Being on the First Order meant that you worked hard every day, it didn’t matter if you had a game or needed a rest day. They wore their players into the ground every season, and they were consistently the team with the most injuries. They had strict diet and work out plans, and if you missed more than one, you could basically consider yourself off the team. When he had hurt his knee, he remembered how angry Snoke had been with him.

He shook his head as if to shake the thoughts out and let he knees relax towards his chest, circling them as she did the same. He was surprised to feel the slight massage on his lower back and he dug into it a little more, feeling some relief and relaxation from it.

He groaned a little as she transitioned into downward dog, but forced himself to go on with the video. He fucking hated this position. She made it look so easy, and yet he felt the strain in his legs and shoulders in a way he hadn’t felt in a long time. Not to be cocky, but Kylo had a nice body. His mother had once called him a beefcake, which he didn’t one hundred percent understand, but he assumed it was a good thing. The fact that this small stretch could make him tremble was almost unbelievable.

He walked his feet to his hands and smiled at the cute dog that curled up next to her. As he heard her say, “Find what feels good,” as she grabbed her elbows and rocked side to side, he couldn’t help but sigh. How long had it been since he had actually listened to his own body? He was used to using his pain as a motivator and as a way to get through everything, but after the injury, he had had to tame that back down a little bit. Working through a cramped muscle was extremely different from ignoring a bad injury. Snoke had wanted him back ASAP, but Kylo had convinced the doctors to think about him rather than the team. Kylo didn’t want to go back out there only to hurt himself and be set back even more.

Kylo continued following her motions, noting that her knees stayed bent the whole time and making sure to keep his in the same shape. Kylo noted how strong and confident Rey looked in her video. As she bent over, he tried not to think about the different ways that position could come in handy for them. As she transitioned to warrior poses, he noted that she was a warrior. A warrior of peace and love and yoga. Three things he would have never thought he himself needed.

Kylo found himself wanting. Wanting peace for his inner turmoil, for the team, for his family. Wanting her, as a teacher, a lover, a friend, however he could have her. Kylo hadn’t wanted anything in a long time. He hadn’t needed to, he had boatloads of money, as a 30 year old hockey player that was making over 5 million dollars a year. He lived in an apartment and didn’t spend money unless it was something he really wanted or needed.

They transitioned out of warrior poses and into mountain, where he felt his strongest. They only stayed there for a little bit before transitioning to plank. He watched her wiggle and move around and smiled at the thought of her little catchphrase, “Find what feels good.” He felt himself going through that, forcing himself to ignore the small amount of heat in his belly, unsure of whether or not it was the plank position or her.

They lay on their backs and she grabbed a block and he wished he had thought to grab some of the equipment out of the room they were in earlier today. He smiled when he noticed that as she kept talking, her hand wandered to pet the dog. Kylo had a small moment where he wondered what it would be like if she was petting him instead but he quickly pushed that thought away. He pushed his hips up as she did hers and wished for a second that he was between her legs, making her do that. He pushed that thought away too and focused on the burning in his glutes and his breath going in and out. He didn’t notice how long they held there, his brain going to other, dirtier places.

He forced himself to focus on his breathing. He noticed that she had relaxed and put her legs in a butterfly position again, and he reveled in the stretch yet again. Stretching had always felt good to Kylo. The feeling of your muscle pulling, but not too hard. The slight pain that always ended in a sigh of relief after you were done. He pulled his legs back up and shifted his legs from side to side again, enjoying the back massage.

As she instructed her audience to fall back into corpse pose, he let out a sigh of relief, feeling his body thrumming with its use. He noticed that for the first time in a while, his knees didn’t feel as tight as usual and like the blood was actually making its way to them to repair some of the damage. He took a few more breaths in this pose and then grabbed his phone from the coffee table.

Okay, that was almost magical. How did that help so much?

The word magical seemed almost too strong, but he didn’t have any other way to phrase it. She was magical, probably, with how she could bring him back from the shell of a man that he was in just 5 hours of knowing each other. He put his hands on his knees, massaging lightly in wonderment.

I’m so glad it helped! If you stay after on Wednesday, I can show you more things that will help, if you would like.

Kylo smirked at the thought of spending even more time with her, especially alone. He can’t help what he texts her next.

Sounds good to me. After that, we could go out and get some food if you would like? My treat, for helping me.
