[ the raindrops throw shimmery rainbows across them, coloured by the orange and pink and gold of the sun setting behind the massive skyscrapers, and jyn still doesn't notice, caught up in the comfort of being in cassian's arms.
it's different from the beach. not an embrace borne of desperation and solace, instead it is easy, almost effortless. there is nothing to stop them from parting, but nothing to stop them from carrying on indefinitely until one of them gave in to sleep either. there's no death star, no galaxy to fight and save in turn, no war on their doorstep, no death breathing down their necks and ticking away the moments until the reprieve of new amsterdam ended. they have all the time they want, an opulence jyn may never become used to.
but she is very but used to being in cassian's arms. the music stops, sliding into something faster and more exuberant, and she doesn't draw back but neither does she speed up to match the tune.
her eyes open, looking up to find cassian so very close, and abruptly the raindrops fall to the ground, sensation of water hitting her ankles making her startle in his arms. ]
