In the first few days after the First Order had acquired the Resistance pilot, Hux had first considered inking the symbol of the First Order onto Poe's arm to stake his claim, but then the Starkiller had burned and Hux decides that his plaything will burn just as his weapon burned. The pilot hisses at the pain, but the look of disgust and horror on his face when he realizes that he now bears the mark of his enemies is what truly sends a dark thrill through Hux. The pilot is his.
The thrill of dark pleasure only lasts for so long before Hux feels the need to mark the pilot again. A First Order shuttle and TIE fighter are destroyed. Hux gives Poe two lashes for every life taken by the Resistance. The sight of Poe's back marked with welts and blood is not as lovely as the sight of seared flesh that bears the mark of the First Order. Hux uses Poe's blood to crudely draw the First Order mark over Poe's back with surprisingly gentle fingertips. Again, he shows Poe his handy work and grins wickedly at the angry and disgusted twist of Poe's lips.
He loves seeing the open expressions on Poe's face, revels in hearing the curses fall from his lips. The Resistance rhetoric that spews from Poe's mouth at other times wears on Hux after a while, and he slips a gag into his mouth with the threat that if Poe will not cease then Hux will sew his mouth shut. It takes a couple of days after the gag is removed for Poe to simply curse him out again, obviously still convinced of that Hux's threat was genuine - Hux is not sure that it was not. The curses being thrown at Hux are beautiful in Hux's opinion, or at least Poe's voice is, and Hux merely tangles his fingers in Poe's hair and roughly shoves him face down into the pillows. He does not hold him there for long, eager to hear more of Poe's voice.
Soon enough, news comes of another attack by the Resistance, and Hux takes a crop to Poe's feet. It amuses him to watch Poe be forced to crawl for the next several days until his feet heal enough to stand again. The glares Poe sends his way bring a warmth to Hux's soul, and he tenderly cards his fingers through Poe's hair as if he was a dog.
The pattern continues, the Resistance attacks and Poe is punished. Hux can see the toll that is being taken on Poe, and is surprised to find that way Poe's fire is slowly being extinguished saddens him. Hux does not like that the pilot brings out such feeling in him, but cannot bring himself to get rid of him. He stretches out next to Poe and traces small patterns over a fading bruise on Poe's cheek. The confusion and fear in Poe's eyes at this simple touch is beautiful. Hux tells him that he is lovely and precious to him when he thinks Poe is asleep. Murmurs soft words against his shaggy, dark curls. He feels the tension creeping back into Poe's shoulders and realizes he was still awake. Hux bruises his knuckles with a backhand across Poe's face. He holds Poe close while holding ice against Poe's swollen cheek.
Hux realizes that he has had Poe for months now. Several long months with many minor victories and as many losses. Several long months of taking pleasure in breaking the pilot down. Several long months of watching as the fire leaves his eyes, little by little. Hux finds that the fire slowly dimming in Poe's eyes is disappointing.
