[he shrugs.]

Depends on how hard you bite down.

[he pops it in her mouth, thumb lingering briefly against her lip before he pulls his hand away.]

[realists]

[ the juice only spills across her tongue as she bites down, selfishly hoarding the sweet flavor for herself, mouth twisting into a pleased little smile as she hums a sigh. how kriffing decadent to be fed a delicious berry by her boyfriend. she is like a princess of old, lounging in a nest of pillows and being fanned by her adoring lovers. ]

I could eat nothing but berries for the rest of my life and be happy.

[evasives]

[well. he immediately grabs another one. how is he supposed to do otherwise when she looks so pleased and happy just because of a single berry??]

[time to shove them all down her throat but not really. cassian just holds it up in front of her mouth again.]

You need to include some kind of protein in that diet too, unfortunately.

[realists]

That's not true. The Lokori are a vegan species.

[ they are also an insectoid species that looked like green bowtruckles and had completely different physiologies than humans but THAT ISN'T THE POINT. ]

And the Ithorians are vegetarian.

[ she opens her mouth for the second berry. ]

[evasives]

And they have a different physiology from humans. They probably do not need it like we do. Even vegetarians get protein from something if not meats.

[BUT NICE TRY JYN. she will never be able to go total vegetarian as long as cassian cooks.]

[he feeds her the second berry, maybe slightly more languidly than necessary.]

[realists]

[ maybe she wants to go vegan! he has to cater to her dietary restrictions. jk no she loves red meat, she is going to be eating meat until she dies, again.

her mouth closes around his fingers briefly before he pulls away so she can chew and she looks up at him, licking her lips. ]

If you're trying to seduce me, Captain, you might want to stop contradicting me first.

[evasives]

[listen cassian is very excited to eat things with FLAVOR no more rations please! jyn can make her own vegan food, cassian is going to eat meat forever too, so it's a good thing they're on the same page in the end.]

I thought that was part of the fun.

[he's not gonna deny it though. he has his intentions!! and he's sticking to them!! sometimes bickering with jyn doubles as foreplay, that's not his fault.]

[realists]

Only when I'm winning.

[ #honesty. plus she's not super invested in this argument so. ]

I'd prefer the flirting in this case.

[evasives]

It is not fun when you win all the time.

[well now that she put him on the spot, he forgets how to flirt. he stares at her for a second, then gives up.]

What if I just asked you to kiss me instead?

[realists]

I do like direct, [ she supposes, but she doesn't move even a little bit to kiss him so maybe she is holding out for the seduction she thought was coming at her.

she'd built it up in the last minute, she wants to be seduced. ]

[evasives]

[he huffs.]

[this is dumb, he can't figure out how he wants to do this now! it was fine when he just went for it, but now he's overthinking. he knows jyn better than anyone, that should make it easier to flirt and seduce, not harder.]

I was walking through the grocery store when I realized how much I just wanted to come home and kiss you. I didn't think you would mind.

[realists]

I never mind. But you did stop kissing me... [ and that was her fault but they had to save the food so now he can go back to kissing her since her hands are free of frosting and his are free of food. ]

You're welcome to kiss me again, Captain.

[evasives]

Only because you distracted me. [between food and feelings! but he doesn't sound annoyed by the interruption. he's actually glad for it, because it was jyn talking about how she was feeling! he would gladly have her interrupt anything for that.]

[he reaches for her hand and tugs her in towards him, close enough that he can resettle his hands at her hips. he kisses her forehead first.] It's one of my favorite things to do now, you know.

[no time for a response to that! because now he is kissing her, ducking his head down to meet her lips with a smile.]

[realists]

[ she is well aware that cassian is down to kiss her literally all the time. she wakes up to his kisses and it's the best thing in the galaxy, waking up to warmth and affection and a peace she'd never even fathomed.

she hums into it, happy. she's still ill equipped to handle most emotions, needing to be dragged kicking and screaming into them, but letting cassian love her becomes easier every day, like it is the gravity that holds them in each others orbit, before either of them even realized. the possibility, the almost, had always been lingering there under the surface but circumstances had never allowed for that kind of thing.

at least not in their lives, before.

now, on the other hand: ] What are your other favorite things?

[ but wait, there's more! kissing, more kissing. ]

[evasives]

[always more kissing! he did say it was one of his favorite things, so he is more than happy to kiss first and answer the question later. sometimes he still can't believe he gets to kiss her whenever he wants. that she welcomes it, wants it too.]

[he breaks from the kiss, just enough to let out a laugh, breath fanning over her mouth because he hasn't moved away.]

I like to make you laugh. [he punctuates it with another kiss. he... loves to make jyn laugh, not just because the sound is amazing, but because it makes him feel capable of good things.]

I like to run my hands through your hair. [which he then demonstrates, tangling his fingers behind her head while he ducks in to kiss her again. the little confessions spill out far more easily than they might have a few months ago.]

I could just show you a few others.

[realists]

[ oh ho, what is this? cassian is telling her what he likes? it's tiny, basic stuff -- he's told her he likes to hear her laugh before -- but it's something! it's more than trailing off and distracting her with more kisses. she groans out a soft little noise when his fingers curl into her hair, feeling his fingertips pressing against the base of her skull, tipping her head up to meet his kiss.

yes, she likes that as well. ]

Yeah, show me. That's good. I'll take notes later...

[ if she is distracted it is because she's being very thoroughly kissed and she honestly can't be blamed for her light, thready voice and flushed cheeks. ]

[evasives]

[he tangles his fingers into her hair at the sound she makes, always categorizing her reactions to everything he does. kissing jyn really has turned into one of his favorite things, he wasn't being hyperbolic.]

[her cheeks are already red and her breath is already short, but he finds he wants to make her flush deepen and draw out little gasps too.]

[he wants to take her shirt off.]

[he's about two seconds from asking, when he remembers his offer to show her, and her very definitive show me. it makes part of him nervous, like he should check in, but her tone and eagerness is it's own reassurance.]

[he likes that too. so his hands both drop to her waist, curling up under the hem, and he starts to tug it up. it's not molasses, but it's slow enough that if she doesn't want him to, she can stop it. that's... probably a good middle ground.]

[she does not stop him, so her shirt comes up and over, and he tosses it idly on one of the nearby chairs.]

[he swallows.] I like doing that.

[realists]

[ she's wearing a bra today, a thin cotton thing that is nearly as basic as military issue undergarments but soft and sumptuous in a way that her prison garb never was. her arms fall back to her sides as he looks at her, smile playing idly at her lips. ]

I like it, too. I'm surprised you didn't fold it.

[ he!! can be!! irritatingly thorough! and jyn is always restless so she knows that sometimes he does it on purpose because he probably enjoys her impatience. ]

[evasives]

[she's right! he does enjoy her impatience! he finds it hilarious, but he also likes the way it makes him feel... wanted.]

[his gaze drops over her as it's wont to do, a teasing smile playing at his mouth. he loves her no matter what she's wearing, but he has been staring at her bra straps all day. she didn't care that he just lifted her shirt off, so he feels better now, nerves eaten by need.]

I can if you want me to.

[realists]

[ jyn's hands snap to cassian's hips, grip probably too tight but she's making a point here, pressing her fingertips roughly into his thin frame and using it to pull herself toward him until she can't drag herself any further into his personal space.

her voice is a low hum, tempting and promising, ] If you even think about it I will jettison you into space without an enviro-suit, Captain Andor.

[evasives]

[he goes to her willingly, his smile widening with mirth when presses up and she threatens him. it's never going to be the right reaction to have, but it's not going to stop him. maybe it's because he knows she'll never follow through, and it just reminds him of how much he trusts her.]

[or maybe he's somewhat of a masochist.]

[he drops his own hands to the bare skin just above her leggings.] Don't worry. The only thing I am still thinking about right now is kissing you.

[realists]

What are you waiting for?

[ her chin lifts again but she makes no move to press up to kiss him, waiting for him to kiss her. he can come to her. ]

[evasives]

[he doesn't bother with any sort of verbal reply. he just shoots her another grin, then ducks down to press his lips to hers. his hands grip tightly at her waist, like he wants to lift her up, but instead he just uses his hold to keep her flush against him.]

[it feels very strange to just... go for what he wants, and part of him is struggling with it. like he shouldn't be allowed. but she still has not objected to anything, so kissing her is easy.]

[it's good and nice and warm, and the press of her against him is a comfort as much as it urges him on.]

[realists]

[ she isn't going to object to anything so he better keep going. it strikes her, with a soft laugh, arms curling around his shoulders, that although she was the one who struggled with the first awkward missteps of their relationship -- she's usually the one that initiates these encounters.

she pulls back a little, mouth moving across stubble to press kisses down his jaw. ]

I like this. When you... make the decisions.

[evasives]

[he lets out a quiet but happy sigh as she kisses over his jaw, letting himself accept the affection without question. she makes it easy, though he can't quite explain how or why.]

[his eyes open and he tries to look at her face so he doesn't start to worry again about taking a more direct lead.]

It helps knowing you like it. [it does, that verbal affirmation combined with the way she kisses him. he runs his hand gently up her spine.] I want to make decisions. It is hard to convince myself it's okay sometimes.

But I do like it too.
