Thanks for the prompt and the challenge! I actually had to whittle this down a lot because it was originally 435 words >__>

[Set in the same universe as Tension and Gestures]

Rating: T


Jyn threw yet another cadet over her
shoulder, slamming their back down on the training mat. Bodhi, Dawes, and
Avella watched the other cadets collectively wince; they wanted to stop their
training session, but Jyn’s instructions were clear: “We stop only when someone
beats me.”

Feeling devilish, Bodhi bet 30 credits
that it would last 45 minutes.

Dawes bet 30 credits on an hour.

Avella looked up and saw Cassian
watching Jyn from the shadows across the way. Arms crossed and foot tapping impatiently,
he huffed every time Jyn quickly pinned a cadet, as though he were pouting.

She bet 180 credits on 10 minutes.

They balked at her- an outrageous bet
for outrageous odds.

As if on cue, Cassian shook his head disapprovingly
and stepped onto the training mat before the next cadet could subject
themselves to another beat-down.

Jyn arched an eyebrow, but
nonetheless lunged forward.

Cassian spun behind her, wrapped an
arm around her neck, and mumbled something in her ear.

Whatever he said worked, because her
knees wobbled slightly, a reaction Cassian quickly exploited by kneeing the
hollow of her knee, forcing her body to collapse. He pinned her wrists behind
her back, smirking at his swift victory.

Avella cackled triumphantly as the
men forfeited their credits.

Bodhi was beside himself. “How in
blazes did you-?”

Avella pointed at the couple
scurrying out of the room- Cassian brushed his hand over Jyn’s ass possessively
as the doors closed behind them.

“Never underestimate the power of
jealousy.”
