[ that's why he hadn't hesitated when he'd told jyn what he'd told jyn. maybe they should have talked about it, made sure they were on the same page but at least it looks like it worked out. ]
That's what I want. [ so, believe him, caroline, because he means it. ]
[ her smile's going to be permanently etched on her face at this point, seared into the dimples of her cheeks like burnt in pixels on a television screen, a permanent reminder of how absurdly happy this one small thing has made her. ]
Me too.
[ she definitely won this round of truth or dare, that's for sure. ]
No. [ he definitely does not need to make any more phone calls. ] I think she'd kill us if we interrupted her again.
[ the tiniest of yawns, stifled by a hand fluttering up to cover her mouth, echoes between them; caroline's nose wrinkles a bit, but she doesn't move. far too comfortable for all that. ]
I'm still gonna make you pancakes in the morning, though. I promised I would.
You can go to sleep, you know. [ he's not going to force her to stay up and do anything she's too tired for. he just leans up and kisses her forehead before moving to slide off so he can lay beside her.
he sighs and closes his eyes, moving closer to her by draping an arm around her waist and tangling one of his legs with hers. ]
If you wake up and feel like cooking, you can make me pancakes. But you don't have to if you wake up and don't feel like cooking. Close your eyes and stop thinking about things you have to do. All you have to do is relax with me.
[ he trails off, trying to remember what the heck was on that could be watched. eventually, he chose some ridiculous movie that at least looked funny and shared the choice with her before settling down. ]

[ he drops a light kiss against her lips and then pulls back enough to smile at her. ]
Good. I'm glad we're in agreement.
[ even if he was a little worried about being a good boyfriend after last time. people kept on leaving him and that's...affecting to say the least. ]
Do I need to call Jyn back and tell her we're all agreed now?

[ her eyes are closed and everything, limbs slack against the sheets as her head nestles against him. ]
Pick something to watch with me.

There we go. We'll watch this.
[ at least until she fell asleep. ]
