[jyn: walks into the house. cassian: holy shit i love her.]

I know I probably sound like I keep repeating it. But I really am trying to believe it.

[if he wasn't good on some level, why would jyn love him?? there are so many little things he keeps reminding himself, but he's had years of hating himself with very little pushback against the notion that he was not terrible. it is taking a very long time to get used to.]

[he brushes his thumb over her cheek.] You make me... smile. You make me happy, Jyn. You are my family because you chose to be, and that has always been rare.

[they're alike in as many ways as they're different, and cassian has always felt a pull towards her, from the moment they met.]
