You know what my prompt is! Jyn transfers from a University in the UK to go to school in the US, and she befriends Cassian… who waits until the last day of Semester to tell her that he’s in love with her, because he knows Jyn is going home… AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. Bonus Points for Leia knowing the backstory.

Haha thanks- I’m so pumped to write this although I’ve been rather short on time recently so it’s a bit late 🙂  I hope you enjoy it! 

[Get you ready for sappiness :P]

Friendship’s a weird thing, Cassian thinks as he contemplates the bottle of wine on the table in front of him. It’s such a weird thing that happens– as you go through life you just… pick people and decide to hang out with them. And be really nice to them. And love and treasure them but not in a sexual way. And give them stuff. 

Like this bottle of wine. Leia gave that to him. It’s a five-dollar bottle she bought for… some reason or other before her parents visited and gave her something more expensive. So she left this one on her counter and said it was up for grabs. 

So he opened it. About an hour ago, when the ending credits of Wall-E were playing on the TV and Leia fell asleep on the sofa. 

He tilts his head. When did it get so empty?

He shrugs and takes another sip from the plastic cup Leia clearly lifted from the cafeteria. 

Whatever. That’s what tonight was for, wasn’t it? Drown his sorrows in sappy movies and alcohol. Nothing like a movie set in the apocalypse to remind him that everything comes to an end. 

Like the semester. Tomorrow’s the end of his sophomore year. It’s his last day on campus before he drives home. It’s the last day he’ll spend in the pre-law house. The last day he’ll share a kitchen with Leia (and her wine). 

It’s the last day he’ll get to see Jyn Erso.
