[ she's been working on this project for some time, and cassian has spent the entire time curious, but he is also very patient. it's right there! he could peak! but it's like he's trying to prove to himself that he can wait. maybe he wants the surprise of it too. he doesn't often get to be surprised, he's too on top of... everything. ]
[ he comes home one day after work, and as far as he can tell only jyn is home, though the quietness of it puts her in the bathroom. he calls out a hello before slipping into their room, yanking off his work clothes and pulling on home clothes. it's only once he pulls the t-shirt over his head that he realizes the sheet is gone, and their wall has been painted. ]
[ not just painted. cassian can almost feel the affection and heart that went into it, the scattered familiar trees and beaches and planets of their life before this one, like it was leading right to here, where their new home is just together and this bed. he stares at it for a while, seconds and minutes ticking by and he feels so warm. ]
[ he breaks away from it eventually and makes his way to the bathroom, leaning against the threshold because she looks so at ease in the water and he feels so whole too. ]
