[she doesn't need cassian to say it in so many words, because it's already been there, between them. i want you to come with me. but hearing that, actually hearing it so clearly? is a revelation.

it's a swell of emotion in her that she can't quite blink back this time, can't quite swallow down. and how could she? if it's been decades since anyone has told her they loved her, it's been just as long since anyone has expressly wanted her in their life, enough to ask something so significant. her chest shakes on the next breath, but one the next

jyn lets him have that, with her, as he presses their lips together; she gives that back, kind, because she wants this, too. wants him in her life just the same, wants him to come with her wherever she goes. always.

when she feels her lungs begin to burn, she pulls back just far enough for a breath. just far enough to say, softly,]


Then we'll go.

[one last affirmation, because it feels important to also say clearly, before she lifts her free hand to his face, cupping his jaw, and pulls him back in toward her to kiss him again. it's not quite gentle, like the way he'd kissed her; it's with the force of all the things she still can't put a voice to.]
