And so far, things had been going well. A little at a time, bit by bit, they were getting to know each other, and clearly had no problem being close. For the first time in her life, Jyn felt like it was safe to peel away her outwardly prickly exterior to expose the shy, soft young woman that hid inside.
That was already far more than she had ever anticipated being able to do with Joreth. They were just two people who were trying to make the best of a bad situation.
But sometimes ...
When they were all wrapped up together on the couch or in bed, all Jyn could think about was how much she wanted to hold his hand, or - or ... to lean in close and press her lips to his and share a kiss. Wasn't it inevitable, with how they gravitated toward each other, how attracted to each other?
Jyn wasn't expecting the kiss to her cheek, and she laughed softly, focusing her attention back on Argi and scratching under his chin, the happy purring noises he was making, but before she lost her nerve completely, she turned and returned the kiss, the smile that lifted her lips amused ... but also maybe a little hopeful, too.
