Jyn woke up warm and comfortable, which was always a feat in and of itself on Hoth. Cassian's warm body fit snuggly against hers and she was content to lie still under the weight of his arms. Stupid man.

He'd politely walked her back to her own bunk after dinner and stood awkwardly by her door before she'd grinned at him, told him it was an excellent idea and darted inside, coming back out holding her blankets in a ball. He'd simply looked confused before she'd stated they'd need the extra blankets if they were going to get naked and started for his room. She'd always been better at being direct and she and Cassian had spent enough time wondering what the other was thinking. He'd sputtered after her something about first dates and how he didn't expect anything, but she'd just ignored him and continued on her way. It wasn't till she was dropping the ball of blankets on his bed that she had realized he'd actually looked concerned.

"We don't have to if you don't want to," she'd said carefully. It'd never occurred to her that he might not want to. She'd figured if he asked her out then he was definitely interested.

"It's not that," he'd answered gruffly. "It's just. This isn't what I meant by asking you out. I wasn't just trying to have sex with you."

She'd grinned. "Don't worry. I believe your intentions were pure. Not that I would care if they weren't."

"Jyn." He'd stepped back when she'd reached for him and she'd felt hurt briefly. "I'm not any better at this either, ok? I've never asked anyone for anything long term, but I don't want this to be just a one and done thing."

"Good," she'd quipped. "Because I was definitely planning on more than once just tonight. Maybe a bonus round in the morning if you're very good."

He'd swallowed hard at that and she'd wanted to jump him then and there. "It's not a joke."

"Are you concerned I'm only using you for sex?" she'd asked still amused.

"It was a first date," he'd said defensively crossing his arms. "I think long term relationships usually have a few more dates before this." He'd gestured to the bed and made a frustrated noise. "Not that I'm not interested in sleeping with you, it's just. Look, all I've ever known is jumping into bed with women and then walking away. I don't want that with you."

That had made her pause and be serious. Neither one of them was good about talking about things that mattered so if he was trying she'd felt she needed to do the same. "Cassian, you've always come back for me, like no one else in my life ever has. The alliance is nice, but it's not home. You and Bodhi and Kay and even stupid kriffing Han and Chewie, you all are my home. I wouldn't risk that for anything. I wouldn't risk you for anything. If I just wanted to get laid I've had plenty of opportunities that would have had zero repercussions on people I care about, well less so recently as it must have gotten around that I've turned everyone down, but that's not the point. The point is I'm with you all the way."

It had been the right thing to say, which she so rarely had. Cassian had shoved her up against the doorframe and kissed her senseless. She was sure kissing had never felt quite that good in her entire life. And if she'd shoved him into the bed shortly there after, turnabout was only fair play.

Cassian grumbled something incoherent into her hair and Jyn focused on the present. "That better not be some other woman's name," she grouched with no real heat to it as she wiggled back and more firmly up against him. A warm hand squeezed her bare hip and she twisted around to face him. "Morning."

"Morning," he rasped back voice still rough with sleep. She smiled and took the chance to nestle her cold nose into his throat and run her hand up his side. "I'm going to be getting shit for saying the wrong name for years to come, aren't I?"

A warm little thrill shot up her sternum at the word years. It'd been a long time since she'd really planned for the future at all, let alone with someone else, and here he was casually throwing around the idea of teasing each other for years. "I don't plan on letting it go anytime soon. Good sleep?"

He laughed. "What little there was of it."

"Poor, Captain Andor. Did some wicked woman keep you up all night?"

"You laugh. Sleep deprivation is a classic torture technique."

Jyn nipped at his jaw and threw her leg over his hips to straddle him. "It must be very valuable information you have for me to be so thorough. Pity I didn't get anything good out of you."

He rolled her underneath him and she dug her fingers into his shoulders at the look in his dark eyes. "You take that back."

"Make me," she said with a challenging grin.

The door to his quarters opened and Cassian dropped down on top of her to cover her on instinct even though they were still under a pile of blankets. Still she appreciated the gesture.

"Kay!" Cassian yelled. "Get out!"

"I see you've taken my advice," the droid replied calmly. "Good. I will inform the base you two are consummating the relationship so all potential suitors can cease their current and future plans."

"Kay, do not do that," Cassian growled clearly already irritated.

Jyn laughed underneath him. "Trying to keep your options open?"

"He's talking about your suitors, not mine."

Jyn laughed again and shimmied up so she could see past his shoulder to the droid. "Ignore him, Kay. Go ahead and tell them."

Cassian groaned and rolled away from her rubbing his temple. "Jyn, don't encourage him. Kay, absolutely don't do that. It's none of their business."

"That is inadvisable. Humans are proven to be very bad at monogamy. Now that Jyn Erso has had you it is only natural for her gaze to wander. It would be better if other men did not think she was available."

Jyn stifled an actual giggle into his tense shoulder. "Kay, you're going to give Cassian an anxiety attack. You know how he likes his privacy. I swear if someone approaches me I will tell them that I am unavailable."

"You see," Kay said. "I told you that humans are more agreeable after reaching orgasm."

Jyn grinned up at him and Cassian threw an arm over his face. "Get out, Kay."

"Shall I tell Bodhi you won't be at breakfast?"

"No!" Cassian shouted at the same time Jyn yelled, "Yes!"

Jyn slipped her hand down Cassian's abdomen and smirked as she felt his muscles twitch under her hand. "Yes, Kay, tell him we won't be there, but for Cassian's sake don't specify why." The droid gave a nod and exited plunging them back into darkness.

"I didn't know what I was getting into with this, did I?"

"Disappointed?" she asked as she moved to attack his neck. She found a mark she'd left last night and ran her tongue over it.

"More like a little freaked out by you and Kay playing the same side."

"Don't worry, we'll fight soon enough over something," Jyn said pressing closer. "Probably I'll steal a vegetable you desperately needed or something and be put back on the black list."

"You'd never steal a vegetable," he said with a snort, reaching down to brush a ticklish spot on her he'd discovered the evening before. "More likely you'll get me shot at for some stupid and completely avoidable reason."

Jyn smiled up at him. "That was mean. Make it up to me." She gave a quiet little gasp as his hands found more interesting places to be.

"If you insist."

"Well, look who finally decided to make an appearance," Han called as they entered the mess hall for lunch.

"Don't be jealous," Jyn said slipping into the seat next to Han bumping him over on the bench with her hip.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? You did me a favor, kid."

"How's that?" she asked distractedly watching Cassian slide into the seat across from her. She was already contemplating dragging him back to his quarters and finding all sorts of ways to make him make that one noise she liked so well again. It was interesting how badly she wanted him even having had him. Sex had never been like that for her before. He looked up and caught her gaze, and she had to believe it was a bit the same for him.

"I bet on the first of the month," Han said happily. "You and Captain Lover Boy just scored me a giant pot of money, kid."

Jyn groaned. The force had a funny sense of humor. "I can't believe you bet on us."

"Oh, don't pretend you're shocked," Han said and Chewie roared in agreement. It's not like she really expected better of the smuggler.

"I'm pretty sure betting on your subordinate's sex life crosses a few Alliance rules," Jyn said digging into her food. She was suddenly starving.

"Because we don't break Alliance rules almost constantly," Han snorted.

"Don't listen to him, Cassian. We're very rule abiding. Nothing to worry about."

Cassian just gave her a skeptical look and went back to his food. "Even your boyfriend knows you're full of bantha crap," Han crowed. "So want to give me insider information on the next betting pool?"

"And what's that about?" Jyn asked sourly. "When I'm most likely to shoot you?" Chewie answered and the only word she caught was baby. Her eyes narrowed. "Tell me he did not just say what I think he said."

"If you think he said they're betting on when Captain Serious will get you knocked up then I can't tell you that, because they are." Cassian choked on his food and Jyn glared harder.

"Why knocked up? Why not marriage?"

Han laughed at that. "Because you're both idiots, but you at least are a reckless idiot. You can't accident your way into marriage, but you sure as shit can accident your way into a baby."

"This base is full of assholes," Jyn raged shoving food in her mouth. She thought about the betting pools and asked something she'd wondered since Bodhi had brought up the subject. "Is there any pool on whether you and I would get together?"

It was Han's turn to choke as Chewie roared a laugh, and Cassian looked up at her sharply. "Why in the kriff would anyone bet on that?" Han demanded.

She ignored Cassian's dark look. "It's just Cassian thought we were together so I'm curious if other people thought that too or if he's nuts."

Han turned a wide-eyed look on Cassian. "You thought? Me and Jyn? Why? I mean I get why you'd think she'd be in love with me, but the other way around? All the respect to you, man, I'd be scared she'd rip off my balls if I so much as looked at another woman the wrong way. That's way too much pressure."

Cassian's lips curled into a half smile. "Because you think Leia won't?"

Jyn enjoyed the horrified contemplative look on Han's face. Leia would definitely rip his balls off for the smallest offense. Shara slipped into the seat next to Jyn.

"What are we talking about?"

"Ripping testicles off," Jyn answered evenly.

"Who did what wrong?" Shara asked delighted. "I assume it was Han?"

"Hey, why me?" Han demanded while Chewie rumbled a laugh next to him. "It could have been Andor. He lies and sneaks around all the time. It's literally his job."

Cassian remained carefully neutral across the table and Jyn hooked her booted foot around his affectionately.

"Captain Andor wouldn't commit a ball ripping off offense," Shara argued. "Maybe a punch to the face or murder offense, but not ball ripping off."

"That's sort of a wide range for ball ripping not to be included in the mix," Han said confused.

"Ball ripping is for sexual deviations," Shara said confidently. "Captain Andor isn't the type to sleep around and give you a bad case of pube lice or something."

"Do I even want to know what we're talking about?" Luke Skywalker asked sitting down next to Chewie.

"Whether or not Captain Andor is the type of guy who would give you pube lice," Shara supplied helpfully. "I'm betting on no."

"And why are we talking about this? In front of him no less?" Luke asked.

"Just looking out for Jyn's health now that she's boning him," Han said flippantly and Jyn threw a protein cube at him.

"Since when?" Shara demanded.

"Since yesterday," Han crowed.

"I can't believe you helped this laser brain win the pool!" Shara said dismayed.

"Hey, I didn't know who had bet on the first," Jyn defended.

"You could have asked and held off one more day," Shara groaned. "Anyone would have been better than him."

"I'm sorry to disappoint, but I really couldn't have," Jyn said crossing her arms.

"To be fair to the kid, she's needed a good lay for a while now," Han said helpfully.

"Han!" Luke yelled before anyone else could get offended.

"What? You don't have to work with her. Look at her all relaxed and happy. Nice job, man." Han clapped Cassian on the shoulder and Jyn hooked both feet around one of Cassian's ankles when she noted the tick in his jaw that was Cassian's very own form of murder shoulders.

"Honestly, Han," Jyn said with a small smile. "If you want pointers I'm sure Cassian would be happy to share. You just have to ask nicely."

Shara, Luke, and Chewie laughed, and Han sent her a rude gesture. "Like I have anything to learn from how Captain Upright fucks."

"Thoroughly," Jyn answered with a grin. "Attentively." Cassian rolled his eye. "And occasionally upright, but not for long on Hoth. Too cold." Han made a face at her and Shara gave a low whistle. "Whereas I imagine you're the sort of guy who gets a blowjob and then asks the girl if she came."

Chewie rumbled a laugh and something that Jyn roughly translated to 'she's got you there'. Han punched the wookiee's arm and Jyn shot him a victorious little grin.

"I reciprocate," Han defended.

"Probably when he absolutely has to," Shara joked. "Better get used to it if you're going to go after the princess. She doesn't seem like the kind of woman who'll fake it for your pride."

"Fake what?" Bodhi asked joining the table with Kay trailing behind him.

"An orgasm," Cassian said dryly, clearly over this conversation.

"Who's faking orgasms?"

"Probably anyone Han is sleeping with," Jyn crowed.

"That's it," Han said standing. "You and me, kid, right now. Sorry, Andor, but I have to prove some things. You understand."

The dark look Cassian shot him said he definitely did not understand. Han was either very stupid or very brave for not instantly backing down.

"Ew, I'm not sleeping with you, Solo," Jyn said firmly.

"She is not allowed," Kay agreed. "Cassian would not be pleased and it would have the potential of confusing issues of parentage. Cassian will not be helping to raise your subpar offspring. If Jyn Erso is bearing a child it will be his. If you need to prove your sexual virility you will have to find a different female."

"I do know how to use contraceptives!" Jyn said. "So we can all stop talking about babies now."

"You don't ever want kids?" Luke asked.

Jyn sputtered, glancing at Cassian who was looking resolutely down at the last of his food. "I dunno. I never really thought about it."

"I do," Shara said happily. "You know hopefully once we're not definitely going to die everyday."

"Who said we're going to die?" Leia asked squeezing in next to Luke. Jyn wondered how they'd even managed to jam this many people into one table. When had she added this many people into her life? Even stranger it didn't feel that odd anymore.

"You know," Shara said waving a fork. "Small rebellion, giant evil empire. Probably going to die. I just think having kids needs to wait a little while."

"Who's having kids?" Leia asked raising an eyebrow.

"Jyn and Cassian," Bodhi filled in, which got Leia's mouth to drop into a perfect little "o" of surprise. "Or potentially Jyn and Han. Haven't completely sorted that one out."

"If she's having Han's child," Kay said testily. "Cassian will have to cease dating her."

"Who would be crazy enough to pick Solo over Andor?" Leia asked looking perfectly innocent.

"Now wait just a minute!" Han shouted.

"And they're off," Luke muttered as a new argument started between the pair.

Jyn glanced over at Cassian and, realizing he was done eating, stood with her own tray. "Well, it's been fun, but we've got to be going now."

"Briefing?" Shara asked sarcastically.

"Something like that," Jyn said laughing as Cassian got to his feet.

"Gross," Bodhi said.

Jyn grinned. "Wanna watch The Princess Spy later?"

"Not in any bed the two of you have been occupying," Bodhi retorted quickly.

Jyn stuck her tongue out at him and pressed herself into Cassian's side as much as she could while they both bused their own trays. They put the trays away and Jyn melted into him when Cassian wrapped an arm around her waist.

"They're all idiots," Jyn said, trying to focus past the distraction that was his fingers running up her side.

"Yeah, but well-intentioned idiots," Cassian said. They moved together in silence for a few moments.

"It's nice," Jyn said quietly.

"Yeah, it is," Cassian agreed keying the code to his room.

"Dangerous too," she commented trying to sound like it wasn't weighing on her.

"Did you ever feel any safer on your own?" he asked her seriously as the door swished open.

"I worried less." She shrugged and walked into the room.

He snorted at that. "I know the feeling. Anytime you want to be reassigned away from Solo, you just let me know."

"We're not that reckless," Jyn said putting her hands on her hips and glaring. "Everyone exaggerates, but I don't see anyone complaining when we bring in extra supplies days ahead of schedule due to our 'unconventional methods'." She put air quotes around the last two words, which had been Mon Mothma's description of one of their missions. Just for good measure, she added, "I'm never going to sleep with Han."

His hands slid over her hips, interrupting her defensive posture, and walked her further backwards into the room. "Obviously."

"Oh, are we not worried about Han anymore? Look who's confident now," Jyn snarked.

"Well, I was met with such high praise in and out of bed that it's hard not to get an ego," he said grinning at her.

"Do you want kids?"

He laughed at that. "You really want to talk about that?"

"Well, it seems like the adult thing to do, and if that's the next betting pool you know all those idiots will never shut up about it so no sense being weird about it."

"I want you, Jyn," he replied pushing her into the bed gently. "Whatever else happens I'm happy if I have you."

She reached up and tugged him down over her before running her tongue up his throat and biting playfully at his ear. "Well, that I'm most definitely capable of providing." She moved to kiss him and he pulled back slightly.

"If we do have kids I'm marrying you first."

"Good," she said with a sharp nod already reaching up to drag him back down on top of her. "That'll really kriff up their betting pools."

He laughed into the next kiss. "Yes, of course, that was what I was concerned about. You're as idiotic as our so-called friends."

It slipped out before she could think. "And you love me for it." Her brain scrambled trying to figure out how to play it off, but Cassian just moved his lips down to her neck by her ear.

"I really do," he said softly.

Jyn felt her heart stutter and then beat overtime. "You're an idiot too," she said ignoring him as he made his way down her throat as best she could. "Taking that long to ask me out because you thought I was desperate enough to sleep with Solo."

"Forgive me?" he asked nipping at her collarbone.

"Obviously," Jyn said. "That's what you do for people you love." He froze for a moment and she smiled, happy that he was just as pathetically in this as she was even if neither of them had said it directly.

He moved up to kiss her mouth again and they were both done needing words.

A/N: And so my first Rebelcaptain fic comes to an end. Hopefully it was a satisfactory conclusion after all that pining! Thank you all for all your support throughout. Now I just have to choose one of the like other three stories I started and actually finish it.
