stay close

the ship landed with a gentle thud and everyone started moving. cassian caught you by the elbow as you went past, "(y/n), a word?" you nodded, stepping to the side with him.

"you need to stay close to me." he said softly.

you smiled slightly, "only if you stay close to me as well."

"I was planning on it, but you sometimes tend to get a bit um... distracted hmm? so you'll stay close, alright? I don't want to lose you."
"you won't. you're never getting rid of me." you laughed.

cassian smiled but shook his head, "I wish that were true, sweetheart. now stay close, you promise?"

you nodded.

"good girl." cassian said, touching your hip gently with a hand as he walked past you outside.

it was oddly quiet, oddly serene. the sand beneath your feet was like snow, soft and light.

"(y/n)" cassian hissed softly to get your attention, "what did I tell you about getting distracted, hmm?"

you crouched beside him in the bushes, off to the side. baze and a few of the others were directly in front of the doors, ready to attack with their heavy blasters, but you, cassian and jyn with your close range pistols were better suited to sneaking in.

and then the peace was broken. the doors opened with a hiss and the blaster fire started. you couldn't really tell what was happening, it was all happening so fast. suddenly cassian had grabbed you by the wrist and was dragging you away through the bushes, following jyn's lead. "That's our cue then." you whispered, cassian merely nodded; he was in combat mode now.
the three of you came to a bridge over a river and part of the jungle. It was your path into the data tower.

"stay low." jyn said, creeping up onto the bridge. It was unlikely there would be troopers this far from the battle but better safe than sorry. jyn moved faster, partly because cassian kept turning around to check you were safe every 2 seconds. Then the blaster fire started. jyn hopped up, firing down from the bridge into the jungle. you could hear the troopers, it sounded like there were at least eight. you and cassian started firing as well, but stayed down, popping up only to lean over the railing and fire a shot. suddenly it seemed like there was silence and you'd defeated them. jyn and cassian had stood up to check but cassian had made it clear that he wanted you to stay down, where you should be safe.

but then you heard it, the beeping.
"cassian!" you screamed, seeing the sonic imploder flashing red at his feet. he glanced down at you as you tackled him, pushing him to the side out of danger.

then you were blinded, thrown forward over Cassian, who was knocked off his feet. the bridge collapsed beneath you and you all fell down into the jungle, except jyn who managed to hold on somehow. every bone and muscle in your body ached, you lay immobile in the shrub, your head pounding, ears ringing, sight returning slowly. the first thing you saw was cassian, leaning over you, his face bloodied and bruised.

"cassian, you're hurt." you mumbled, trying to reach up to touch his face but falling short as you were too weak.
"you're kidding, (y/n). I'm alright, sweetheart. It's you we need to worry about." he cradled your head gently in his hands, subtly checking to see if you'd injured your skull.

"i...im fine." you stammered, "i just feel um.. tingly." you giggled slightly and cassian gave you a very concerned look.

"jyn, I have to stay with (Y/n), can you go on?" He called. "jyn?" he repeated with no reply.

"fvck she's already gone." he muttered, shaking his head but placing his attention back on you.

your vision was clouded with dark patches, the ringing returning in your ears, the tingles turning to sharp stabs of pain. a groan slipped your lips, you were mildly aware of cassian saying your name, shaking your shoulder gently. But then it was gone.

"(y/n) sweetheart."

you heard a pained moan come from your lips, and you jerked up, immediately being caught in strong arms, hearing a steady heartbeat.
"I got you, sweetheart. I've got you."
you blinked, the bright white forming shapes as you realised where you were. you were in a hospital bed. your body was numb, except your shoulder and head which were held against cassian.

"I'm alive?"

"yes." cassian whispered, "you are. we did it. they have the plans."

"I stayed close." you murmured, your head foggy.

a laugh slipped cassian's lips, "A little too close yes. But you're alive. we're alive. we got the plans. that's all that matters. I love you." he kissed you on the forehead gently, continuing to hold you while you healed.
