For context, i saw a post saying that one day Kaz would tell Inej that Jordie would have liked her, so i wrote a little fic because that's just too cute, i hope you like it!!! 💜💜💜

Inej liked staying up late, it kept the nightmares away. That's why every night she couldn't sleep or the memories were too much, the wraith would climb up the roof. She would stay there for hours, just feeling the cold breeze and watching people pass; up there it all looked so small, even her problems, and the silence was relaxing; she loved her friends with all her heart, but they could be a little too much sometimes, so a little quiet was good from time to time.
She was too focused watching two men argue outside a bar to notice Kaz approaching, so she startled when he spoke.
"You will catch a cold out here"
She looked at him, putting away the knife that was already in her hand.
“I´ll go inside in a minute, I just couldn´t sleep” She said, her gaze returning towards the drunk men below.
“I just came to give you this” He lend her a coat and Inej noticed he wasn´t wearing his gloves. She smiled and let their hands slightly touch as she took the fabric; Kaz stiffened. Inej thought he might leave; she was already cursing herself for not thinking twice; but he sat down next to her. They stayed there in silence for a while, listening to the sounds of the town; Inej was about to apologize, but it was Kaz who broke the silence.
“Why are you up here?” He looked at her; her hair was in a messy braid, a leg hanging over the edge, her eyes where bright, but there was a sad look on her face, still she formed a weak smile and said.
“What do you mean? I’m always here”
Kaz thought about just leaving it there, talking about feelings had never been his strong suit. But he kept pushing.
“I saw you today, I know you were crying earlier. Look, if you don’t want to talk about it’s fine, but if there is anything I can do tell me and we’ll figure it out”
The words came up rushing, as if he was trying to get them out before they banished. Inej was surprised so she faced him for a moment, almost expecting someone else because the Kaz she knew would rather put a bullet through his brain than talk about how someone’s day was. But of course there he was, sitting next to her with his long black coat and his crow head cane, although there also was a hint of worry in his face, but inej thought she was just imagining things.
“I told my parent I’m leaving with my crew in a few weeks, and they didn’t take it well” She said “They said it’s too dangerous, that they don’t want to lose me again, and when I offered them to come with me they just said they’d think about it. Kaz, I know I have to do this, but I don’t want to leave my parents when I just found them” Tears were beginning to roll through her face but she didn’t mind, she had proven she was strong and ruthless countless of times, so Kaz seeing her as weak wasn’t one of her worries.
“I know I’m not much for advise, but I think you should go, even if you have to do it without their blessing or behind their backs” He took a breath and moved a bit closer, his gaze kept shifting as if he was looking for the best escape route “They may not understand it yet, but it’s just a matter of time, they still see you as a little girl, but I see you as the wraith, you can do anything you put your mind into”
They both stayed quiet for a minute. had Kaz just complimented her? he had done it before, but it certainly wasn’t something that happened very often. Finally, Inej spoke.
“I didn’t know you were good giving advise” She said with a smile, wiping the tears with her sleeve “Don’t tell me you are turning soft on me Brekker”
He looked down, a tiny smile forming on his lips and Inej thought that could be the prettiest thing she’d ever saw.
“He would have liked you”
