Work Text:
Yavin canteen barely got crowded at this hour as lunch had passed so Alliances were already back to their base while the higher ranking officers just got dismissed from some regular meetings. Jyn eyed Shara and Leia who enjoyed some idle chatter.
“Hey, Captain, what is your type?” Shara Bay jumped out and asked the serious and hyper-focused guy who sat in the corner by himself.
Jyn, standing bringing her meal, initially wanted to sit with him, but quickly changed her mind and quietly yet hastily seated in front of Leia and turned her back to avoid Cassian's sight.
The captain, realising he was being summoned, raised his eyes from the datapad, “My datapad type is SU254RTF.”
Shara shared eye rolls with the people who sat near her.
“She meant your ideal type, Captain,” Leia clarified, clearly trying not to laugh.
“Oh, hmm, anyone, anybody, human, but I don't mind Twi'lek or anyone who can stand up for themselves, sometimes easily angered when something annoys her. I mean. them, an officer, general, sergeant, or colonel with something green, I guess.” He paused a second and then realised his spontaneous answer.
He noticed there was a person who sat back on him and immediately corrected his words, “Uh, it doesn't matter what colour or species, it's all good.”
Based on his rambled answer, either he had something specific in his mind or never thought about it before.
The girl that occupied Cassian's mind, casually changed her position to face him directly “Okay, Captain weirdo. Specific much, huh?” she teased him.
Being the center of attention, Cassian started to get anxious and did not panic at all. He finished his lunch in a hurry, acting as if something important was coming. “It’s just an unconscious response, don’t take it seriously. Anyway, I have to meet Draven.” He repacked his leftovers and closed his data pad.
Leia snorted so impolitely and Shara started to wonder how that guy could be a spy if he’s so bad at hiding his feelings.
“You might have to set him up with Hera, Princess,” Jyn casually continued her lunch after Cassian was out of sight.
An awkward silence after Jyn's suggestion, and Shara sighed quite loudly, which Jyn considered a bit rude for table manners—though weird, she never bothered with that before.
"Unbelievable," Shara started to get bored of this nonsense.
"What?" Jyn was confused and then sipped her soup.
Leia took the chance and preferred to take it out in an honest, clearest way. “Listen, Jyn, I don't want to soften you because you are the most brilliant girl in the galaxy. Cassian is in love with you, dumbass!”
Jyn widened her green eyes, as if she's just cracked some difficult code. "What?" dumbfounded.
A whistle sound came from another corner. "Kid, you don't know that? Ouch, awkward." Clearly, that mock came from Han Solo who had listened to their conversation all along.
Shara and Leia gave her a glare of relief, finally they were able to say it out loud after all this long, dubious time. They could not wait any longer! Cassian owed them a hundred credits for this, that for sure.

A moment later
Jyn planned to grab some stuff in her quarters before going to Bodhi, who asked her to check some codebreaking, but when she opened the door, a familiar hand grabbed her quickly, and suddenly the inside lock was activated.
“Cas—” she hasn’t even said anything but he already pushed her to the bed and pressed his lips to her. After tasting each other for a while, they run out of breath and have to break apart. Unable to hold any longer, a chuckle came from them.
“You really are so into me, Captain.”
“You know that, yet you insisted on hiding our relationship.” Cassian grumbled. The gentle touch from him still made Jyn turn red. Cassian wondered how they can still fool the others when they were actually so bad at pretending.
Jyn turned her face away from him, "They made a bet on us and I refused to let them win!"
Cassian sighed, not interested in repeating this same conversation all over again.
“Besides, I knew you loved sneaking and hiding, wasn't it?” She started tilting her face towards him again. Meanwhile her hand is busy stripping his shirt.
Well, Cassian has to agree with her because apparently Jyn has awakened some of his weird kinky stuff on him. So, she once again is right and started to enjoy their activity and forgot about everything.

A couple months ago
Jyn busily monitored a never ending code in her datapad while Leia and Han again argued with high voices.
“It seems your ego still couldn’t accept the fact that I am always right!”
Han objected to her claim passionately and gave a long, extra speech about a princess raised in privilege, which Jyn couldn't care less about. But why is her name suddenly mentioned?
"I am giving my credit to you if Cassian really never said no to Jyn. Isn’t that right, Jyn?"
She needed to crack this assignment ASAP otherwise, she started to lose her mind, so she decided to join just to humor them.
Her eyes caught on Cassian, who passed by and talking with Kay. “Hei, Cassian dude wanna fuck me for a minute?” casually asked.
Something must have slipped from Cassian's shoes because Kay had to hold him so he wouldn’t fall to the floor.
“Erm… no.” tried to hide his shaky voice.
Han pointed out enthusiastically, chasing Leia, who walked away from them.
What they didn’t realise, Kay the one who answered while Cassian's mind was busy trying to process everything that just happened. He’s done with all this, determined to ask Jyn to clear everything up and that started by calling out her name and cautiously dragging her to his or her quarters whenever closer.
