[cassian follows her, and she follows him. jyn thinks: that's how it is, how it's always going to be, for the rest of the time that they have to live, beyond anything that would've ever seemed possible not so long ago. (and she wants as much of that time as she can get now. she'll fight however hard she has to in order to hold onto it, for the both of them; she'll do what it takes, with clear-minded purpose, to ensure that they both live.)
that's what love is — or, at least, how the concept, made real in her hands and in his (gentle, always gentle) hands on her, made real in the space — and heat — that they share, takes definitive shape in her mind. it's not the holodrama nonsense that could never actually fit into anyone's reality, but the commitment, the choice to follow each other. the trust that the other will be there, never far behind.
and because she doesn't doubt any of it, not anymore, she opens herself up to it.
she opens herself up to him — lips parting under his, hands moving to his waist to nudge him over top of her as she lies on her back, so that everything she feels on all sides of her, in every possible way, will be him. it's not a position she usually likes to be in, with a near complete lack of leverage and space to be able to move.

but here, with him, she'd never want to.]
