“Are we dating?”
Cassian nearly spits out his drink, only just managing to swallow it down before it goes flying across the countertop. Gingerly, he sets his glass back down before he can cause any more damage. Leave it to Jyn to shock him with her explicit bluntness – really, he shouldn’t be as surprised by this as he currently is, as it’s Jyn’s nature to speak her mind whenever she feels the need to.
Needing more elaboration on the subject she’s just dumped on him, he dumbly asks, “What?”
“It’s not a hard question,” she replies petulantly, shutting the door behind her with her foot. It’s early in the morning – she’s just gotten off her bar shift – but he’s not yet done with the paperwork Draven had asked for yesterday. That’s his excuse, anyway. He likes staying up late to wait for her, even if it means she’ll chastise him for not getting enough sleep. “Yes or no? Are we dating? Are you my boyfriend?”
That doesn’t answer where this line of conversation stems from. They’ve never talked about it before so it was bound to happen, but why now, at nearly three am? “Why do you ask?”
“This bloke was hitting on me – ” he feels a surge of jealousy at her words, “ – and I told him to piss off because I had a boyfriend. And if wanted to know if that actually was true. So.”
The tips of his ears heat as he thinks about it. The past few weeks he’d assuming the status of their relationship, but he realizes now that they’ve never talked about it. It’s not like he’s been with anyone else since they’ve first started kissing and he doubts that she has either, but better now than never. “Do you want me to be your boyfriend?”
Her face sours in the way it usually does when he deflects her questions; it’s a struggle to keep the corner of his mouth from quirking up into a smile. “I asked first.”
