No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

“Did you really think that after Scarif I was just going to walk away?”

Jyn keeps her eyes on the floor as he asks the question, his words clipped and precise, the unspoken anger in his voice bubbling just below the surface.  

“Did you?” Cassian demands again when she doesn’t answer. Out of her peripheral vision Jyn sees him cross over to her in two long strides. The feel of his calloused fingertips against her skin when he touches her, when he roughly tilts her chin up so she has to look at him, sends an unexpected shiver of anticipation right down her spine.

She can’t get the words out when he’s looking at her like this, glaring at her like this – but somehow, she finds it in her to nod, to tell him yes, that’s exactly what she thought would happen.

Once they were rescued and safe, she assumed he’d be as good as gone.

Cassian grits his teeth, clenches his jaw. “That’s not how this works,” he murmurs, his voice tight. He shakes his head. “Not with you.”
