[they always seem to wake up when the other has too. the quiet reassurances, the little touches, usually help settle into something easier. not better, just easier.]
[jyn climbs out of bed instead. cassian wakes up fully, but he doesn't follow after her. he stays in bed, eyes shut and listening to the way she moves through the house. there's something off about it that makes him a little nervous, doubly when he senses her leaving a note, the way she touches him. she barely shuts the door before he's scrambling up and reading the note with a churning dread in his gut.]
[a run. she went for a run at - he checks - 3 in the morning. jyn runs to cope with stress, but the timing is too strange to him and he already knows he's not going to fall back asleep. he doesn't disbelieve she'll return, but it kind of triggers off all his own lingering thoughts.]
[he waits. his brain starts to run through a billion scenarios because the bed is empty and jyn left and he kissed her and what if it was him that made her feel like she needed to leave? he spends about fifteen minutes internally freaking out before digging around for his phone and trying to convince himself it's okay to ask someone for help. for advice.]
