Memories

Dreamers

Jyn was jogging steadily making her way around town when she decided to take the scenic route. She had managed to clear her head...that was until she saw him standing in the street hunched over as if he was wounded. It reminded her of her dream, she had seen him like this before. Jyn considered pretending to not recognize Cassian but she couldn't, something in her gut told her he was somehow meant to be part of her life.

"Are you really that drunk you're puking in the street?" She asked noticing the bar he had just ran out of. Cassian didn't speak he just looked up and at her his face clearly exhausted. His warm olive skin was a lot paler than usual making Jyn feel the cold shudder of worry wash over her. Cassian stumbled losing his balance. Jyn quickly grabbed his arm keeping him from falling. Cassian immediately put his weight onto her not able to support himself.

"Whoa you ARE super drunk." Jyn noted astonished at his lack of motor skills.

"I'm not, somethings wrong with me." He panted. Jyn eased him down on the sidewalk so he could sit down. He sat up, his warm brown hair falling into his face. He quickly swiped it away before burying his head in his hands.

"Are you okay?" Jyn asked nervously.

"Yeah. Just really dizzy I don't know what happened there. Sorry." He rubbed his temples with his thumb and index finger. The colour was slowly coming back to his face making Jyn breathe again. He looked better that way anyway. Suddenly she realized how attractive the man was. There was something about his slight beard... Jyn shook the thought out of her head she could day dream later.

Cassian wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"So what brings you here?" He said hoping to change the subject.

"Well I was going for a jog, but now i'm clearly not." Jyn threw her arms up in the air nonchalantly.

Cassian noticed her clothing was tight and reflective. He appreciated the way it accentuated her curves.

" Ah, explains why you're so flashy." He smirked.

Jyn blushed vividly "I am not flashy! I'd rather not get hit by a car thank you very much." She pouted placing her hands stiffly on her hips.

Cassian put his hands up in defense. "I never said it was a bad thing." He smirked as she rolled her eyes.

"You know I thought I needed your help, but I think I'm just fine on my own." She said twirling around on her foot about to walk away.

"Help? with what?" He said now standing up a bit too fast. The world spun around him making his eyes sore. He placed pressure behind his eyes till the feeling stopped.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Jyn questioned biting her lip. Her face pulled down in a sorrowful expression. Cassian had difficulty trying to figure which Jyn out of four was the real one. He opened his mouth to speak but ended up just closing his mouth awkwardly like a fish.

"I'll take that as a no." Jyn answered for him.

"It's just these stupid dreams I've been having. But this has never happened."he said gesturing to the street.

"Dreams? Jyn perked up."

"Yeah, they feel so real as if I'm remembering something. But that would be impossible." He admitted sitting back down. "Maybe I'm just sleep deprived. "

Cassian pondered this possibility.

"I've been having the same thing happen to me!" She said excitedly.

"Yeah no sleep is no fun..." Cassian trailed off.

"No you idiot! The dreams! I keep having them too! That's why I passed out in front of you today..." She admitted embarrassed. Cassian looked at her in disbelief.

"No way!" Jyn nodded excitedly in response.

"Maybe we can help each other figure them out." Jyn whispered barley Loud enough for her to hear.

"I think we could do that. Otherwise I'll end up looking like a light weigh. Cassian kicked the pavement feeling embarrassed.

Jyn felt strange. It had been so long since she had talked to someone on this level, that in its self was sad. She could never trust people enough to get close to them, they always ended up leaving. Faded memories of being passed around foster homes and sitting in empty rooms was all there was of her childhood. It wasn't fair but that's how it was and for some reason she believed Cassian understood her. So for now she let down her guard a bit, maybe she needed to anyway. In a way she wondered if this was happening because of fate. That made her feel corny. She believed in making her own fate. And she prided herself of not needing anyone to lean on. For now she was open to the idea of at least having someone to talk to. 'Don't get too comfortable it never lasts.' The voices in her head whispered. Jyn shook the thoughts away. She was going to be more positive. Hopefully This Cassian would prove everything she knew about people wasn't totally true, secretly she really hoped he would.
