i told him i wanted him to be careful. i was going to give him some of my blood, just in case of emergencies. like a first aid kit. i told him he had to be careful with it, because if he died
[ the message cuts off. somewhere, caroline is yelling. ]
now he WANTS to die so he can come back and be with me forever
[ jyn doesn't care what caroline is, when it comes down to it. she has a different diet, different restrictions, but jyn knows she is technically dead. and that is what is giving jyn pause.
did marcos think about this even a little bit at all? ]
I know he's been freaked out since the gangs
But he's missing at least eight steps before killing himself
[ she wants him, but she wants him to live more. for the first time in her life, caroline truly and sincerely wants to choose the unselfish option. she finally feels like she might be getting closer to that abyss deep state of mind.
but marcos is being a dumbass in a kiddie pool, and she doesn't know how to stop him. ]
i would never ask him to do that.
[ it may partially also be that caroline doesn't think she's worth sticking around for. ]
i told him i didn't think it was a good idea. i mean, he'd be stuck inside literally all day. how is he supposed to help people if he can only go out at night?
[ of course she wants to keep arguing, half out of stubborn spite, and she thinks she could keep pushing until cassian answers her but then he kisses her and she selfishly gives in, trying to relax enough to find her way back from being rejected.
no, he hadn't rejected her. his fingers are inside her, for kriff's sake, that isn't rejection, but it lingers in the back of her mind even as the enthusiastic movement of his fingers tries to wipe her mind clear entirely. ]
[ Catra sniffs it again, cautious, before taking a very small bite. Her eyes widen in surprise. ]
It's... strong??
[ She isn't sure how she feels about it yet. The flavour is so overwhelming and unlike anything else she's ever eaten before. She takes another very small bite, like she's trying to figure out if she likes it or not. ]
[ Catra does not seem bothered by such trivial things as manners, or lack thereof. ]
They're... salty. But not bad salty? I don't know.
All we had in the Fright Zone was ration bars. You could choose the grey kind or the brown kind. So it's a step up, at least. If I never have to eat another ration bar again, it'll be too soon, haha.
[ her cheeks puff up before she blows out the breath. what was liana hallik charged with? she had many arrest warrant across many aliases and liana's were all lies so she isn't sure she actually remembers correctly. there wasn't exactly a trial. ]
Counterfeiting, I think. Aggravated assault against Imperial military personnel. [ there's a pause before she smiles like she is reminiscing. she's resisted arrest a lot. usually violently. ]
It was a set-up. I mean I did it, I did all of it, but I only got caught because it was a set up.
[ he can still feel her concern, but the way she says it sends a shudder down his spine and force does he want her. he knows this conversation is not over, but he wants to do exactly what she ordered and make her come. even though it was always his goal, his desire for it builds tenfold from the challenge. he crowds up closer into her space, trying to drown away the tension he can feel from her with his own eagerness. ]
[ he feels that tiny little speck of rejection, and that's it. that's what this is. he doesn't want his own inadequacies to make her feel rejected in any way, because there's nothing he wants more than her. he lifts his head and kisses her hard, like he's trying to prove his own feelings as though she can't feel them too. it's biting and soft somehow at once, and his hand moves deftly between her legs. he is taking her order to heart with almost reckless enthusiasm. ]
I am not rejecting you. [ he says it quietly, shifting to kiss along her jaw in case she wants that little bit of privacy, as though he isn't neatly pressed on top of her and literally inside her. ] There is so much more I want to do with you, Jyn. Tonight, tomorrow, the day after. I want you so much.
