first of all how dare you and secondly one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other if you are so inspired

Can be a scene from the end of this theoretical fic (written for the fic titles meme)

––

It’s the fifth night in a row she’s woken up without nightmares. There’s no alarm, either. Jyn thinks she woke up to the rain, pounding on the low roof of their house and coming down in thick sheets outside the window. 

She turns her head back to Cassian, his face still and quiet. She watches him wake up slowly and can’t help but smile, because she doesn’t think there’s anything more lovely in the entire galaxy. 

“Good morning,” she says.

He glances over her shoulder out the window, where the sky is a flat grey. “How do you know it’s morning?”

She shrugs. “It feels like morning.” 

He chuckles, and reaches across the long pillow that lies between them to touch her belly, so big now it would be difficult to get up on her own even if she wanted to. 

“How is she?” he says, moving his hand around, feeling for the soft little kicks that started five months ago. 

“Quiet today,” Jyn says. “Like she’s… waiting for something.” 

He looks at her, eyes wide and sparkling. “Did you have–”

She shakes her head, still smiling. “Not yet. I just… know.” 

He ducks in for a kiss, fast and light, but before he can move away she pulls him back and holds him there, kissing him hard because this is the last morning they’ll have just the two of them, she knows. 

She breaks away with a gasp, and a hand flies to her belly, where she can feel muscles start to tighten under her skin. 

Cassian feels it too, where their bodies are pressed together. “Is that–” 

“I think so,” she says. “I told you I knew.”
