Soooo i’m gonna cheat and submit another one in case you’re in the mood for Halloween-themed prompts??? I wish you would write a fic where… Jyn and Cassian met at a costume party, but they don’t realize it’s the other person until they take off the mask.

cats-and-metersticks:

Okay so I got busy with work and my RCSS and the Cassian Andor prompt-a-thon and all the prompts that came before this but NOW IT’S TIME and I’m sorry it’s so gosh darn late.

Who’s ready for Halloween in the middle of January?!

By the time Cassian made it to the cafeteria, the line was already halfway to the back and Kay was glowering at him. 

“You promised.”

“Sorry, calculus ran late.”

Kay snorted. “Likely story.”

“It did!” 

“You realize Dr. Ewing is my advisor, correct? And I’ve taken three classes with him?”

“He had an off day.” Cassian shrugged and dumped his bag on a chair to claim a table as they walked to the back of the line. 

Kay shook his head. “You’re becoming a worse liar the longer I know you.”

“Whatever.”

“What’s more likely is that you spent five of the ten minutes you had to get here loitering outside the classroom for Jyn From Calculus to finish arguing with the professor.”

“No I didn’t.” 

Kay let out a mournful sigh. “And now we’re stuck at the end of the cafeteria line on mac and cheese day. You’re going to make me late for real analysis.”

“Sorry,” Cassian muttered, staring intensely at a random game on his phone. 

“Perhaps if you had her number, you wouldn’t have to wait awkwardly outside the one class you share every time you wanted to see her.” 

Cassian sighed and shoved his phone into his pocket. He thought it said a lot about his friendship with Kay that he didn’t just walk away right then. “Yeah, well, I don’t.”

“You could ask for it.” Kay looked at him as if this was completely obvious.

“It’s not that simple.” Cassian felt himself blushing at the thought.

“Why not?”

“It just isn’t.”

“I find that answer vague and unconvincing.”
