Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Kyle (but I have said that.) And the third chapter is here and I think it is the last one. I hope you'd like it please let me know. It was as always fun to write. And I apologize for all the mistakes (no beta).

I'm going back to work winter brake is over and I need to be back at work I will miss Cassian. And of course my mind is working on another story when I'm writing that :D so… I think Cassian would be back.

Rather be me

Chapter 3

So it would be me

It was way past curfew in the base and yes there were curfew hours in the base since it was a military base. Cassian, Bodhi and Kyle were sitting in Cassian's U wing on some supplies containers and having one of that container as a table to play saback. Kyle had taught Cassian that game a very long time ago and it was their best killing time activity ever since. With combined effort of Cassian and Kyle's instruction Bodhi was able to understand the rules of the game and now he was playing with them. They didn't play for credits as they didn't own much so the stake was the shots of some poor quality alcohol which Kyle had brought with him. And looking at the state of the players the luck wasn't with Kyle this evening.

Then suddenly there was some noise outside the ship and the three men tried very hastily to cover up all their illegal past times activates. But then the ship door was opened and a very surprised looking Jyn went in.

"What are you doing here?" Cassian was the first to say anything but then a very happy looking Kyle swayed in her direction and almost dragged her to the table.

"There she is." Kyle staggered with words the amount of alcohol he consumed clearly visible when he stood up. "My favorite rebel is finally here."

"What's wrong with him?" Jyn asked surprised extending herself from Kyle's arm and looking at Cassian. He could see a hint of embarrassment flashed on her face but he decided that he wasn't completely sober as well so maybe he was imagine things.

"Nothing, he'd drunk too much." Cassian explained sitting back at the cargo container and extending his hand to pull another container to make Jyn a chair. She smiled at him and sat down next to him. Cassian suddenly discovered that it was hot in his ship a very unusual state considering they were still on Hoth.

"I didn't drink enough my friend because I'm still standing." Kyle decided his voice to loud and also sat back on the container.

"This is yours idea of a party guys. " Jyn looked at them. "Cards and alcohol. I think I will pass." She decided and wanted to get up but suddenly Cassian grabbed her elbow surprising her as well as himself. "No, please stay." He said softly to her.

"Yes Jyn, stay." Kyle added grinning at the two. "You could always tell us how you two have met."

"You have heard that twice already, Kyle." Cassian scowled at his friend but Kyle just stared back at him his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Yes and I still didn't forgive you for not taking me with you, if you had a death wish Cassian you could at least tell your best friend." Kyle said his voice suddenly sober and serious.

"You were on Kuat." Cassian glared back at his friend. He remembered the first talk about Cassian reckless decision to go to Scarif and he thought that they were past that. But Kyle as well as Cassian was an orphan and they somehow bonded over that and the fact that there was absolutely no one who covered their backs and they long time swore to each other that they would always do that.

"And you go on a suicide mission leaving me in the dark." Kyle barked back, it was clear that the conversation was only between Kyle and Cassian because they stop caring about a stressful looks of the other people in the ship.

"I said I was sorry." Cassian finally said his voice flat. He could tell that Jyn was staring at him with wide eyes.

"I don't care." Kyle answered honestly. "You could be death and you aren't only because those two here so I'm sorry I'm a little angry at you." And then it was over Kyle just stopped throwing dagger with his eyes at Cassian and turned to Jyn and smiled sweetly. "Jyn would you like to play with us I swear we would go easy on you."

Jyn sensed that it was a very stressful situation and those two friends liked each other more than they were showing. Jyn didn't know that Cassian had someone that close to a brother when she had met him. She always imagined him as a loner. But here it was a living proof that captain Andor could be attached to another human being. So maybe there was hope.

"Who said I need that. "She also smiled at Kyle. "I have been playing saback since I was ten it was one of the most common game among Saw's rebels so…"

"Bring it on sister." Kyle said with a large smile too bold for Cassian's liking.

Two hours later they were all wasted with exception of Jyn. She wasn't lying when she said she was fluent with the game. She played as a professional and soon enough they discovered that, but it was too late the shots had been drunk and the amount of alcohol in their system was alarmingly high.

"Here's to my favorite rebel girl." Announced Kyle drinking yet another shot of a transparent liquid that he called alcohol.

"To Jyn." Both Bodhi and Cassian joined in because they lost as well to an openly beaming Jyn.

"As much as I like to see you all on the floor for taking me for granted I think it is my time to leave I have a briefing tomorrow and I can't be late." Jyn said standing up from the cargo container and stretching her arms.

"Same here." Cassian said quickly, too quickly, which earned him a funny look form Kyle. "So I will walk you off." He proposed lamely and shot a dark look to Kyle who was trying hard not to grin.

"I know the way to my room, Cassian, no need to help me. " Jyn said jokingly.

"I know," Cassian said stating the obvious. "I think I need someone to point me in the right direction."

"Exactly my friend, listen to yourself." Kyle finally blurted out when he couldn't help himself any longer.

"Kyle !?" Cassian and Jyn both said in the same time. Jyn more as a question, Cassian more like a threat to shut up.

"Nothing, I'll be going as well. Bodhi?" Kyle bit his tongue and looked at the new friend.

"Coming with you." Bodhi answered relieved he could be off that strange conversation.

Both Bodhi and Kyle bolted from the ship as fast as they could not having a second look at the two. Cassian was looking at Jyn his vision little blurred by the amount of alcohol he had consume. She was beautiful; she indeed was beautiful his conscious was screaming at him. Do something, say something you idiot you are just staring at her Cassian was thinking intently.

"After you." Cassian said pointing the door. Jyn jumped off his U wing but Cassian had more trouble with jumping off the ship. I will never drink with Kyle again in my life he was thinking hard trying to appear much more sober that he actually was. He smiled to his own thoughts, how many time did he promise that after a night of drinking with his friend.

Jyn started walking to her room and Cassian followed. They didn't talk, much to Cassian distress he couldn't think of a topic to talk. Thoughts of Jyn's hair and the way her hips swayed when she walked clouded his mind making him a silent companion. Suddenly Jyn stopped and to Cassian disappointment they were standing in front of her door.

"It was fun Cassian thank you for inviting me." Jyn said coyly.

"No problem." He answered slowly. I didn't invite you but I will thank Kyle the next morning he thought frantically smiling at her.

Suddenly Cassian felt as the time stood still. There he was standing in a dark corridor of a very cold base late at night with Jyn and he had absolutely nothing in his mind except the sight of her pink lips that she was biting nervously. At that moment Cassian decided that there was no other sight in the galaxy that made him more aroused. He was looking transfixed at her lips didn't hear a word she was saying to him.

"What?" Suddenly he understood that she said something to him and he didn't hear a word.

"I was saying that I'm tired and I have a briefing tomorrow at 8.00 so goodnight Cassian." Jyn repeated still looking into his eyes making him more transfixed.

"Goodnight Jyn." He said softly and he could tell she hesitated before she turned away. What did she want to do? What did he want her to do? He though desperately.

She walked in and the door shut behind her. Cassian was standing in the corridor looking desperately at the white door that Jyn had just vanished behind.

Suddenly he knew what he wanted to do. He wasn't sure he would survive that attempt but thanks to all the alcohol in his veins he had the courage to do what his subconscious wanted him to do the second Cassian was hauled into the elevator on Scarif.

He knocked at Jyn's door and she opened a surprised look on her face. She had the time to take off her jacked and was only clothed in a black tank top and a pair of tight pants. If Cassian had a moment to see her properly he would gape at her but he had different things in mind. He stepped through her door forcing her to back away into her room. She was looking at him a mixture of surprise and anxiety on her face.

"Cassian?" Jyn questioned him quietly.

"I like you." He finally blurted out looking intently into her eyes trying to find some answer there. What is wrong with me he thought absent-mindly it was so not his style. Cassian had lost his composed, by the book intelligent officer behavior to that green eyed girl and it had thrilled and alarmed him at the same time.

"That's good to know." Jyn said slowly looking questionably in his eyes. "Cassian I think you are drunk."

"Well not that drunk." Cassian answered and trapped her with his darkening eyes. "I like you Jyn and… I like you more than a friend." He finally confessed and it was liberating for his soul.

"What are you trying to say Cassian?" Jyn asked quietly her voice trembling.

"I think it's better I will show you." Cassian said and stepped forward. Jyn took a step back and it was only that much room in her small quarter. She was pinned to the wall by Cassian presence and he was coming dangerously close to her. And before she knew what was happening he had her pinned to the wall kissing her senseless.

It's amazing. It was the first coherent thought that came into Cassian mind. Jyn lips were hot and soft under his and she tasted wonderful. He kissed her hard on the mouth and after a surprised whimper she relaxed into his kiss. It was sweet and gentle and full of unspoken emotion. To their both dissatisfaction the need for air was inevitable so Cassian broke the kiss and rested his forehead against her. Jyn had her eyes closed, her lips were parted still wet and pink from the kiss and it was the most beautiful view Cassian had ever seen in his life.

"We can stop if you want…" Cassian whispered to her, praying for a different answer.

"No. I want you." She whispered back and she opened her green eyes now full of wanting and clouded from passion.

Those three little words had left him breathless. Second later he had her panting against him when he was kissing her neck his hands rumoring around her body. Jyn was fighting with his jacked trying to yank it off him. He stepped from her and helped her with his jacked noticing how her fingers where trembling when she tried to unzip it.

"Jyn we don't have to…" Cassian said taking her hands in his and holding them till he could feel she stopped trembling.

"Cassian please shut up." Jyn said exasperated and added. "It just… I'm not that experienced..."

Cassian just smiled at her his most warm and reassuring smile he had. And it worked; she smiled a shy smile back at him and stepped closer to him. He bent down and kissed her again this time more gently but as he was trying to be gently and slow things heated up soon enough. There wasn't much time before layers of clothes were pulled off and Cassian maneuvered her to her bed. He helped her to remove her top and at the sight of her bare chest he lost all ability to think. It was only feelings and the hot, wet pressure that was building between them. Before they knew they were both gasping each other names when waves of excitements came crashing down on them. Later that night they were lying in Jyn's bed content and spent not saying a word just bathing in each other presence.

"So you don't like Kyle" Cassian finally asked her toying with a strand of her hair when she was lying eyes closed and relaxed.

"Why?" Jyn asked surprised opening her eyes. "I like him, his nice."

"It is not what I was trying to say." Cassian corrected looking deeply into her eyes.

"No you idiot I don't like him like that." Jyn finally understand what he was asking her and smiled shyly at him. "I happen to like a certain captain but it is not Sarretti."

"And since when, may I ask, did you start to like that certain captain." Cassian asked not breaking the eyes contact with her. It was mesmerizing how green her eyes were.

"Since we cheated death together." Jyn answered quietly her eye glistering in the dark room. "But he was kind of thick in figuring it out."

"Thanks the universe that said captain had a very thoughtful friend." Cassian murmured against her neck planting a wet kiss there.

"Indeed captain Andor," Jyn said arching her head to give him a better access a familiar hot, burning sensation staring to rise in her abdomen. "You should thank him."

"Maybe tomorrow." Cassian muttered kissing his way to her collar bone. "Now I have better things to do. "
