[there is something very nice about the look of relief on finn's face. he's relieved! the fact that there are people who worry about him never fails to take cassian by surprise. when taako sent the soup, it was the first time he realized the people he knows here would be... concerned.]
[what's even more surprising is the way finn just flies at him. cassian can see what's coming the instant finn is moving, the way his arms hover, the posture of his back - finn is coming in for a hug. he can count on one hand the number of times he's been hugged in the quarantine on purpose, with intent.]
[he has those few seconds to decline if he really wants to.]
[but he doesn't.]
[finn gets into his space and goes in for the kill, and even while it's already happening, cassian still pauses, like he doesn't know what to do next. after about three awkward seconds, he lifts his arms and returns the hug. it's a very strange feeling of comfort, one that is as scary as it is welcomed. cassian doesn't often like to be touched, but he finds he doesn't mind this. maybe he's just not used to it, especially from people who aren't jyn.]
[ HELLMO ]

I did not do it on purpose, you know.
