[honestly what the hell jyn erso. for however much she melts under his attempts to be romantic, cassian is a snowman in the sun.]
[they fit. they work. they're better together and they're growing back together and she called them a mosaic and maybe he needs her to be sappy too to remind himself of all the good things they are and have together and -]
[he leans in to kiss her, smiling against her mouth and into the kiss because how else is he supposed to respond to that? he lingers for a few seconds, then pulls back, keeping his forehead to hers.]
[ she wants to be stern and correct him, but she just fucking laughs, kissing him again while raddus squirms out of her grasp, squirming into cassian's lap before leaping off the couch. ]
Just because you say it that way, doesn't mean that you're right.
[ she shoves at his chest, but they're both sitting on the couch so he go approximately nowhere. it's simple phonetics, you pronounce the stupid letters in the stupid word.
I know you do not like to admit when you are wrong...
[he catches her hand when she swats at him, bringing it up to his mouth to kiss her knuckles. maybe he's feeling extra affectionate. they're going to get a house!]
[ her nose wrinkles and her lips purse against the smile at his affection. he can't buy her acquiescence with smooches, that's not fair! he knows it's her weakness. this is the god damn hill she will die on.
anything else she will accept. but not erb. never. ]
Linguistics don't have to make any sense to be correct. [he speaks a lot of languages, he would know!]
[he still does not let go of her hand, because he likes holding her hand. he turns it around though, so he can plant another kiss to her palm this time. he knows she loves it and he loves drowning her in affection, so it's a win-win situation.]
[ her nose wrinkles on a reflex and she makes a face. ]
You can certainly try. Just know... that if you did say herb properly, I'd let you go down on me, any time you wanted, for the rest of our lives.
[ which would be a big win for him since most of the time she is still keen to just distract him with something else. it's not that she doesn't like it, she is just still struggling to accept that kind of willing and enthusiastic attention. ]
As tempting as that is, any time I want is not always when you want. [and that part is important to him! he can tell when she's not up for it by how much she tries to distract him, but it doesn't bother him. he would love to do it more, but they have time.]
Maybe it's like immersive learning, [ she considers, thinking out loud. because she doesn't hate it and she doesn't want him to think that, it's just so foreign to her still...
she leans in to kiss him this time, soft and sweet. ]
[ he is so patient with her, regardless of the situation, even when sometimes she doesn't deserve it, and she hates to think that anything good could have come out of their shit lives, but he is worth it.
she nods, to herself, but it is decisive. ]
Cassian. I want you to go down on me. Like, now. Also can we get a house with a bedroom so we don't have to worry about Raddus interrupting?
[he nearly does a double take over her sudden flip, letting out a stuttered surprised laugh.]
We can make sure it has a bedroom. And a kitchen, a living room - it sounds like a luxury to have more than one room, but I want that. [their cat really does not give a fuck what they get up to when she wants attention.]
[he nudges at her legs still sprawled over his lap.] Lay down please.
[ jyn scoots back out of his space, reaching back to adjust one of the pillows before she reclines back on it. talk about luxury, this feels indulgent, to have time to explore and get to know one another. it used to feel oppressive, the time, but now it stretches out before them, nebulously finite and it isn't as terrifying because there is one constant.
cassian will be by her side. ]
It's still kriffing herb, for the record, don't think I changed my mind.
[he crawls after and over her to steal a kiss, lingering for a few seconds against her mouth. this time he has with jyn is as much of a luxury as getting a house with her, one he didn't think he'd ever get to experience, with anyone. he thinks it's very lucky it's her; for all the ways they're alike and different, they really are a mosaic just like she said, gluing themselves together.]
We'll see when we are finished.
[he fiddles with her pants and her underwear to peel them off before settling himself comfortably between her legs. he loves her, a lot. time 2 go down to town, just like she asked.]
[it's definitely "erb," and he will change her mind, at least for the rest of the evening.]

[cassian, however, takes any time he gets her to laugh as a victory, so he steals another kiss over it.]
We could take a poll. I bet most people would not use the h. I bet I am right.
