He heard the door open; knew she came in even though she was so quiet; didn't try to turn his head or move—there was no point in trying to hide from her. It just felt like lying…
She put her arms around him and pressed herself against his back. He slowly moved his palms from the wall to place upon her hands; his forearms crossed over of hers.
And for the first time in the years since Jenoport, Cassian cried.
No way to tell if his long-dried tear ducts had actually regenerated into function. The water on his face made it irrelevant anyway.
Still holding on to her-holding on to him, he sank both of them to their knees; doubled over their two pairs of arms around his middle, closed eyes parallel to the floor, and wracked with sobs.
<3!!!!!!!
