Cassian wasn't sure what he deserved. He was fairly sure it wasn't 'something good'. He may have earned himself a good death—a better one, thanks to Jyn, than he ever could have hoped for on his own. But it hadn't happened.
But he was sure that Jyn deserved some goodness. After everything that had been stolen from her and all she'd been forced into. (Not occurring to him that the same could be said of himself.) He might not categorize himself always as 'something good', but for her, he could be. And he wasn't going to deny her what she wanted.
He tightened his arms around her, feeling their heartbeats against one another in their chests, and kissed her. "I'm yours," he murmured again. "Since I met you I've been yours."
