Jyn Erso knocks back a shot of whisky and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. She turns the glass upside down on the bar and glowers at the polished oak. “Drop it, Kay.”

“I am not holding anything that I could drop, Jyn,” Kay points out in that ridiculously flat voice of his. Jyn sighs in annoyance and glares at herself in the strip of mirror that wraps around the bar. “I was merely trying to point out that the tension between you and Cassian Andor has reached a point where no one with any semblance of sense can deny it.”

“I can,” Jyn protests loudly. It’s what she does. She gets drunk, and protests loudly. “I can deny it!”

“My point exactly,” Kay sniffs primly and takes another sip of his cider before shuddering. “I maintain that this drink is foul, by the way. I don’t know why you suggested it.”

“I didn’t suggest it. I told you to ‘take a hike’, and that just happened to be the name of a cider they have on tap, Kay,” Jyn snaps, still frowning at her reflection. “Why are you so insistent that Cass and I have feelings for each other? We’ve lived together for five years, for godssakes, haven’t done anything remotely romantic that entire time.” Jyn sticks her hand near Kay’s face – well, as near as she can get, the stupid man’s so tall even sitting a bar stool that’s the same height as hers – and emphasizes with the stretch of her fingers, the number five. 

“Haven’t you, though?” Kay asks condescendingly. “I will lay out the logical premises for my conclusion that you are in love with Cassian Andor. One: you have lived together for five years. This is the longest either of you have lived with someone. Cassian once set fire to a roommate’s trash can because he didn’t like the way they folded his socks after laundry. And yes. I was that roommate.”
