[ good thing he understands that much of the language! his own laugh quiets out as a result of her question, but at least it sounds more like a natural fade. ]
I already am. [ it's not a real protest, and he knows what she wants from him. the weirdest part is just how easily he complies, finally worming under the blankets too. he's not sure how much more laying down he can get anymore. ]
[ jyn hums a pleased noise, happy for getting her way. it's just a nap, she tells herself, slinging her arm over his waist and dragging herself closer to him. very close. ]
[ maybe he should have expected it, but he doesn't, so when her arm settles over him like it's nothing, it doesn't quite feel like nothing. it feels normal, but somehow a surprise. ]
[ she is very close and very warm and her smile does something funny to his chest. before he can overthink it, he lifts his arm up enough to welcome her in more. ]
[ she wriggles right in, tucking herself against him and soaking in the closeness, his breath across her cheek. he smells good, like soap and warmth and memories that aren't all bad. jyn doesn't get this close to people, physically or emotionally, but she and cassian had never managed to have much in the way of personal space. ]
[ all his old instincts are alight with nerves, even more so for how comfortable he feels. he shouldn't deserve to be this at ease with anyone, but like most things with jyn since he's met her, he complies with the opposite. ]
[ she smells a little like alcohol but also like the leather of his jacket and like herbs. he tucks his arm around her and tries not to think about how neatly they fit. ]
Out drinking?
[ she did already tell him, but in her defense she is drunk. he'll indulge her again. ]
Having fun, [ jyn corrects, nosing against his chin as she settles against the pillow. when she draws back she seems to realize how close they are but she doesn't move away, humming again as her fingers idly move against his back. ]
[ it's such a casual and genuine display of affection. he never experiences that, it's honestly more of a surprise than the fact that she cuddled right up to him. so much so that it takes him a few long moments to realize she said something too, and he needs to reply. ]
[ together. they make a good team, she is sure cassian can learn to have fun.
she doesn't yawn, but she sighs in a way that speaks to a yawn, sinking deeper into the absurdly comfortable mattress. it tilts her chin slightly, her expression open and damn near welcoming. maybe it's the proximity, maybe it's the warmth of this little bubble that they are in. whatever it is, jyn finds herself looking at cassian's mouth, mind racing against the last vestiges of consciousness.
she leans forward, eyes closing again as she stretches toward him, intent clear until she stops. stops and doesn't make any move to continue or to make any move at all. after a handful of moments, her even breathing gives the reason she stopped before she could kiss him.
[ he likes the idea. learning, with her. it's not so intimidating that way. ]
[ before he can tell her so, or even reply in any form, she looks down at his mouth and cassian stills with a sudden anticipation. she moves in like she's going to kiss him, and he doesn't know what to do about it. he doesn't know what to think or feel or anything, but he does find himself closing his eyes. ]
[ and nothing happens. ]
[ when he peeks, he discovers she's fallen asleep. he puffs out a breath, brushing it off under her inebriation. even so, it still takes him a few minutes before he can fall asleep too, though he doesn't move out of her arms. ]
