who: jyn & cassian
what: date night
when: during dragosta festivities
where: the intrepid, followed by movie night in the park
warnings: nothing more than smooching in the dark

( โช how sweet it is -- james taylor )
Movie night! It's movie night in the park and it was her idea actually, but she'd enticed Cassian with a picnic that... he had to make. As far as enticing offers went it could use some work but. Whatever, it was a joint effort and movie night is definitely happening, complete with picnic blanket and picnic basket and a secondary blanket for when someone inevitably gets chilly. That's ideal anyway, blanket on both sides, nice and warm and comfortable. An indulgence.
It's weird, going on a date. A picnic date. A year in and simple, commonplace activities that she should have loads of experience in are still something of a novelty. She's only ever been on two dates in her life and one of them was with James Tiberius Kirk and a farce. She and Cassian don't date, per se, because Jyn keeps unintentionally making their dates not dates without realizing but this is definitely a date.
Movie date night has date in the name, she can't escape it.
She can, however, completely forget about it even after she neatly folded the two blankets this morning and set them on the table next to the door. She'd gotten distracted with work and mission reports that she lets pile up hoping Cassian will do them for her -- he won't -- and then she'd gotten happily distracted fiddling with the computer on the Intrepid, seeing how fast she could dupe clearance codes on this ship. The technology is different, but forgery is intuitive and after a couple hours, Jyn really starts getting the hang of how this particular system works, which is the exact moment that date night (and time itself, honestly) escapes her entirely.
Which is why Cassian finds his partner sitting on the floor in the cockpit of the intrepid, industriously typing away at a key pad as tiny holograms flicker across the screen, codes and names and more codes until a mechanical voice bleats clearance granted and Jyn whoops out a soft, "Yes."

He's wanted to take her on a date for a while, not that he has much expertise, not that they don't already spend a lot of time together, but it's different with Date Intentions. They don't need dates, clearly, but Cassian just... wants to. He refuses to let her change this one away from a date just because she forgot. For two seconds he worries that maybe all her accidental changeovers from date into not!date are maybe not so accidental, but he likes to think she would tell him. They've been getting much much better with the whole honesty thing.
He finds her on the intrepid, naturally, just as she pulls off something victorious. He comes up to stand behind her, towering over her much more than usual given she is on the floor. But he still looks down at her fondly. He's carrying the picnic bag in one hand and a tray with the two hot cups in the other.
"Clearance granted for what?"
no subject
oh. Kriff. She lost track of time and forgot about their date. A quick glance at her watch tells her they haven't missed the movie though so she hasn't ruined it by forgetting and that's nice.
"Voice recognition access." She clambers indelicately to her feet, sweeping her escaped hair back from her face. "Good evening, Intrepid." There's a whir before the same mechanical voice speaks. "Good evening, SERGEANT JYN ERSO."
A proud smile stamps itself on Jyn's expression before she continues, forcing them both to ignore that she'd used her Alliance given rank, "Intrepid, record voice print for Captain Cassian Andor." She gestures for Cassian to speak as she scoops the tray of drinks out of his hands, mouthing 'say hello to her'.
no subject
Cassian brightens, impressed when the ship speaks, and he looks around like it will put a face to the voice even though he knows it's through coding and system tweaks.
Not sure where to look, he just offers Jyn another grin before speaking into the void of the cockpit. He did not miss the Sergeant rank, but he will let it go for now. "Good evening, Intrepid."
no subject
Jyn grins, pleased with herself. If she were the type to clap and jump up and down in excitement this would be the time, but instead she just crosses her arms over her chest as a sense of smug, surety settles over her.
"I wish I had a voice message from Jim so I could surprise him with his voice print, but I guess I'll just have to do this all over again for Captain Kirk." It'd be cool to simply have the ship talk back to him, but it's going to be cool no matter what, she decides. His ship will know his name.
Stepping over, she bumps Cassian with her hip. "I didn't forget on purpose."
no subject
"I cannot believe neither of us thought to record his voice for such an occasion." They gotta drag him always. Even vaguely.
Cassian bumps her hip in return, then brushes his lips over her temple with both affection and pride. His tone is still fond, despite the content of his teasing question. "Are you sure about that? I can start a tally now."
Not that he really thinks she is doing it on purpose! But it happens so often! Maybe it's subconscious!
no subject
She does frown a little when he teases her, making a face even as she catalogs the simple affection -- he is not actually upset or displeased with her. "You know I'm as subtle as a bantha herd, if I was trying to skive off date night it would be obvious."
It would be awkward and brusque instead of Jyn simply getting distracted or falling asleep.
no subject
Cassian knows how to fly, but he's never been much of a Pilot, capital P for personality like Jim and Poe. It was a skill he learned mostly out of necessity. But of course Jim says hello to the ship every time he boards, there is no question.
"I know," he says quickly, offering her a smile too when she frowns, reaching to take his hot chocolate so he can drink a sip. It's stupid to worry, she just laid out the reasons why. She wouldn't be subtle about it! "It just happens a lot. That is why I am here early, to make sure we did not miss the movie."
Planned to come early from the start, he has really done his best with an outright schedule for this date night.
no subject
Called the fuck out, that is for sure.
Jyn shoots him a sheepish smile, nose wrinkling. She really is that rubbish at making date night happen, but he is here now, with all the supplies so all she has to do is get cleaned up.
"Let me wash my hands, I'll be ready in two minutes." She stretches up to kiss his cheek before darting off to hit the head. She washes her hands, fixes her hair, re-artfully smudges her eyeliner, and she's back in a flash, sidling up to him and nudging his hip.
"Hello again."
no subject
When she comes back and nudges his hip, the smile is still on his face, and his arm tucks neatly around her waist, pulling her closer. "Hello."
She's adorable, re-smudged eyeliner and all. The kiss on the cheek was not nearly enough affection, especially since he wasn't the one giving it. So he ducks down to kiss her cheek this time, then presses his lips briefly to hers. "Hi. Are you finally ready for our date?"
no subject
"Not if you keep that up." And, please, keep that up. Real into kissing.
no subject
Cassian just really wants to be close to her right now, it seems very important that it's right now, and apparently part of that includes kissing. Jyn never seems to mind. "Keep what up?"
Maybe he's gonna play dumb though. Because maybe he's gonna kiss her yet again, only this time it's on the jaw while his hand moves to the small of her back.
no subject
"Now who is going to make us late, Andor?"
Not that she minds, obviously, content to keep kissing him on the ship, happy to be snug in his arms.
no subject
Maybe he didn't plan for his own distraction, but he is usurping hers. It's not his fault she's curling her arms around him too. He needs to put his cocoa down, so he can gather her up like he suddenly wants to. He nudges her with his hips, leading them sideways until he finds a surface to abandon the cocoa.
It leaves his other hand free at last, and he settles it neatly at her waist while he ducks in for another kiss, smiling against her mouth. There's nothing urgent about it; they're just slow and lazy, but affectionate kisses.
no subject
Boyfriend, what a stupid word.
Even if it's true.
no subject
In general, Cassian is always down to kiss Jyn. He kisses her when they get up in the morning, before they go to bed, multiple times for no reason at all during the day. He really is pushing it in terms of catching the movie by allowing himself to be so distracted, but he finds he just cannot help it!
He starts walking them again, this time in the direction of the chair. He just wants to be close to her and the chair seems like it will help that along! "Sit with me for a second?"
Just a second, as though that's at all possible when he's smooching her up.
no subject
Not that she is fighting him at all, backing up easily as he directs -- only pliable under Cassian's touch. He's usually not so... unrestrained, that is more of her thing, really. She can't say she doesn't like it.
She really likes it.
no subject
When they reach the chair, he braces himself then lifts her up. He's been doing physical therapy for about a month, it's clearly time to test it out.
It's not a long test; he just keeps her airborn long enough to settle her on the captain's chair, and he feels completely fine. "I just really want to be close to you."
no subject
"We still have those new counter tops to break in, you know. Just... for next time." Next time they're home he can hoist her up on the counter top.
no subject
He smiles at her and takes in the way she relaxes into the seat, feigning innocence despite the implications of their conversation. "Next time could just be after the movie. I was planning to go home with you later."
no subject
She smiles up at him, hand lifting to touch the stubble against his cheek. They've been here for so long, she's seen his beard in every possible state, and it's always so familiar somehow. Cassian's stubble, Jyn's eyeliner, some things never change.
It's a strange thought, apropos of nothing, and her expression softens. "Why are you suddenly so friendly, Captain?"
no subject
"Should I not be?" He gets it though. It did come out of nowhere, even for him. "I do not know why. I had an urge and I followed it instead of questioning it."
Something she has been allowing him to do more and more.
no subject
"Please, do continue to follow that urge, don't let me interrupt."
no subject
"I really want to go on a date with you." He wants to do that as much as he wants to keep kissing her. This is the worst! He could just kiss her on the date, though he supposes getting this handsy in public is not necessarily his thing. Even though he quite clearly says he wants to get a move on, he still ducks in to steal another kiss, speaking against her mouth. "Maybe it is silly, but I still want it."
no subject
But maybe they can also just go to the movie once they stop acting like lusting teenagers. Not that Jyn seems keen on the idea of not kissing him, pressing another to her lips before she veers off course and starts a trail across his jaw.
