Jyn is speaking to the dog but it could just as easily apply to Cassian, even if she sits down once the door is closed and lets the dog leap all over her and lick her face. Boy might need to fetch girl and dog, since she seems happy enough to be aggressively loved by the dog, even if she winces every time her huge paws step on Jyn's thighs. The kisses are worth it.
"I brought those fancy donuts! I found a Groupon so Bodhi and I got a dozen and he took three." So she came bearing a box of nine that is probably in danger of being trod on by the dog. Hmm. "You might want to come grab them before they become Chantico's slippers."
He laughs, because she is definitely talking to the dog, but he'll take it. "She was pining for you all day!"
Maybe he was too. But he knows Jyn and he knows his dog so he climbs off the couch and makes his way over upon the announcement of donuts. He scoops them off the floor two seconds before Chantico's big paws stomp on the lid, holding it up out of reach while he leans down to steal his own smooch from his girlfriend. "You have to share, pequeñita."
Yes, one of his nicknames for his very large fluffy monster is calling her an adorable small thing. Stop hogging Jyn!
Chantico whines, licking briefly at Cassian's chin before she goes back to Jyn. Hers now.
"Do you mean me or the donuts? It's mean to let her think she might get donuts." Jyn is obsessed with the love and affection she gets from the dog, obsessed with the warmth and how soft she is. She misses the dogs at home and every time she cries on the plane Bodhi pats her leg and reminds her that the dogs won't forget her. She just wants unconditional love.
She does manage to shift to her knees to start the process of getting up and moving to the couch, but it's going to be a slow process, too busy scratching her fingers through Chantico's thick fur and kissing her face.
"You, obviously. I would like some kisses from you too."
He doesn't care at all how much attention dog and girl lavish on each other, it's always a delightful sight. He steps away if only to set the donut box up on the kitchen's island table before his dog decides she wants to eat them, then he moves back to sit down on the couch.
His dog is very big, it will definitely take a while for Jyn to wrestle herself free, until Chantico decides to lay on them on the couch instead.
Jyn continues to kiss and love and drown affection on the dog for a couple more minutes before she stands up, laughing when Chantico prances around her like an overexcited pony. She briefly wonders if the dog would like the ponies...
"Alright, mija, let's not leave Cassian waiting too long. He'll grow cross and lonely soon." Teasing her boyfriend to a dog, Jyn knows no shame, padding into the living room once she toes off her converse. Chantico sniffs them with dubious intent and Jyn pauses to watch her in case one of those shoes becomes dinner. She knows Cassian has trained his dog well, but. They're her favorite green converse. "Hey, babe, you're not going home over holiday, right?"
He is very needy! He wants to kiss his girlfriend and be kissed in return, let him live! It doesn't mean he isn't content to wait while Jyn lavishes attention on the dog for a little while, because it'll be better in the long run. Chantico would never stop demanding it.
"She is not going to eat your shoes, Jyn." He can tell she is pausing to watch, but the dog won't move away until Jyn does. He pats the spot beside him on the couch. Please come over and let him snuggle you. "No, I have just confirmed it with Shara for sure. There is no one to watch Chantico, and I cannot bring her this time. Not that I can really bring myself either. Besides, I would feel too awkward having Christmas with Kes's family."
They're perfectly nice people, he's sure, but Cassian hasn't met them yet, and he doesn't want to do that over such a big holiday. He doesn't blame his sister for spending time with the Damerons this year; it isn't like they have anyone to go to themselves. It'll be a nice good first Christmas for Poe, even if Cassian is trying not to let himself be upset over missing it. "I promise I will not spend it alone, Baze and Chirrut have already told me I am coming over."
She wasn't expecting Baze and Chirrut to sweep in already. Sure they all went over there for Thanksgiving even though none of them are American, but they could have given her a chance, now she has to rethink her strategy.
Settling on the couch next to him, she tucks her legs up under herself, letting her knees rest on his thigh. "Couldn't they watch Chantico for you? Baze and Chirrut, I mean. If they're going to be home for Christmas."
Maybe it's only for the day and then they have plans, but she wants to be sure Cassian can't see his family and nephew's first Christmas before she strikes.
He sets his hand on her knee without thinking when they press into his legs, simply for the sake of touching her. It surprise him sometimes how very tactile he is with her, but she never seems to mind.
"No. They offered that too, but I would be away longer than they could take her in. Though it is not just that. I went to see Shara so many times after Poe was born that I blew through most of the usual expenses. She said she is going to try and come see me in January."
"I've got a bunch of miles if you want to use those? I don't know if it's enough to cover round trip but it's definitely enough for one flight?" And she'd be happy to help him see his sister for Christmas. Even if Shara is trying to see him in January.
And maybe she is procrastinating her invitation because she is nervous.
If he could visit his sister she could push this off all over again! Until it's too late! And he breaks up with her for keeping such a secret from him for so long!
"There is still Chantico to consider." A beat, before he briefly squeezes her leg. "Don't get me wrong, I would love to go, and I appreciate the offer, but I do not think California is on the cards this season."
He could board his dog, but that's more money he doesn't particularly have at the moment, and he isn't sure he wants to spend Christmas in a house full of strangers. His sister will be there, sure, but she'll be busy with her baby and her partner's family. It's not the first time they've spent the holidays apart, and fortunately Poe won't remember it anyway. Next year he'll make it.
She agrees with his summation of events, nodding slowly before she blurts out. "Then I think you should both come to Denmark with me." There is a pause, as if she is realizing that she just asked, before she barrels forward with details. "Bodhi is going up the day before me but he is a moron and didn't get insurance on his ticket so they wouldn't let him switch it so we already have a spare ticket and my miles will cover you on the way home and we can transfer some to pay for Chantico to be in the cabin too."
It would be another houseful of strangers but this feels like, melodramatically, the only chance they may get.
He recognizes that she just invited him to Denmark, but it still takes him a moment to catch up to the reality of it. Mostly it's because she always gets a little... cagey about her family, preferring not to talk about them too much, always keeping his meeting them to a minimum vagueness. He always just chalked it up to the Ersos being across the ocean.
"You are asking me to come home with you for the holidays?" She is, but he wants that part of it specifically to be addressed. Even if he still has to work through the logistics of it being possible, a very small and warm smile slips onto his face simply because she invited him. It makes him feel warm.
"And Chantico." It's the dog that cinches it, how she didn't even consider leaving his child behind. "That is a lot for you to cover. Do you really... have that many miles? I would not want to put a burden on your finances, and I definitely cannot afford getting myself to Denmark."
Sure it's a house full of strangers, but it's Jyn's family, not his brother-in-law's, and that makes it much different. Jyn will have his back, like Kes has Shara's.
"I promise we can cover the flight with my miles, I rack up a lot." She pays for her own flights, either from the job she has here or the money her mother had squirreled away when she was still working, and she flies economy and she never ever checks a bag because she doesn't believe in wasting money when she can just pack light.
"I do really want you to spend the holidays with me in Denmark, and I guess meet my stupid family." She makes a face, scrunching it up before she puffs out a sigh. "I do need to tell you something about my family though. Before you officially decide, in case it changes your mind."
There's some small amount of guilt about taking and using her miles, despite how earnestly she offers it. He wants to meet her family! Her elusive, far off family!
He huffs a laugh when she says meet my stupid family, and he reaches out to squeeze her hand. "I think I would really like to spend the holidays with you too."
He knows that much immediately, wondering why he didn't need the time to sit and ponder it over a pros and cons list. He wants to go with her. He wants to be serious about Jyn, and part of that involves meeting each other's families. He's just more surprised he may get to meet hers first.
"Is it a secret family wealth?" Despite how much she works and her frugality, he still lets the sense she would never quite want for money, but even if that's not it, it might give her a place to bounce off from.
"Actually." Another face, spitting this out is like pulling teeth, but she can't not tell him. She'd debated springing it on him in Denmark but that would be cruel. "Remember when we were flirting over socialism and you teased me about how I know so much about monarchies?"
UGH JUST SAY IT, JYN. Say the words. SAY IT!!!
"I'm sort of related to the Danish monarchy." She winces like she is expecting him to be mad and yell at her or yank himself away or throw her out or any number of terrible outcomes.
He gives her a bit of a look, something between amusement and interest. He isn't mad, just a little confused. Related to the monarchy can mean a lot of different things!
"Sort of," he repeats, because it's a very open window. But he can tell this is very difficult for her to talk about, so instead of yanking his hand away, he just winds their fingers together further. "How much is sort of that you are so informed?"
He's never googled her, though it would have been easy to. He never likes to google people he's interested in, because he'd rather they tell him important stuff on their own.
She takes a deep breath, pushes it out and frowns that she notices it is shaky. This is make or break and she knows it. Bodhi is adopted and inherits nothing except a title in name only and she has watched people bolt from relationships with him. Her aunt only married a couple years ago because it took her ages to find someone who didn't care about her title.
Jyn always expected to be alone, she didn't expect Cassian to be a thing she wanted to keep.
"My father is, um. He's-- his name is Galen. He's a scientist, he used to study self-sustainable renewable energy sources." She cannot manage to get the words out, paralyzed at the idea of saying it out loud, practically radiating tension and anxiety. "Hey Siri? Who is Galen Erso."
Her phone's South African accent chirps: Galen I is the King of Denmark, as well as the supreme authority of the Church of Denmark and Commander-in-Chief of the Danish Defence. He was the eldest child of Frederick IX of Denmark.
He frowns a little at the visual of her nerves. Any urge to tease her to lighten the mood dissipates and he turns his attention entirely on her.
She'd idly mentioned her parents being very into the sciences in the past, that much isn't a surprise, but it's what she tells Siri to google for her that seems to rip the air right out of the room. He was expecting something like a famous scientist duke cousin, but no.
Galen I, King of Denmark. Her father is the King of Denmark. Jyn's father is a king which makes her -
"You are a princess?"
An actual, honest to god princess?? He just. Needs to ask, because even though the implication is there, he's kind of floored by the concept and needs that confirmation.
He is shocked, she can tell, but she doesn't know if he's too shocked. Should she gather her shoes and leave? Should she start processing her transfer to University of Copenhagen? If this blows up there is no way she could stay knowing that Cassian hates her because she is part of something he loathes.
She is waiting for him to tell her to get out. Despite him tightening their handhold earlier, this is different.
"Yes," she admits quietly, feeling suddenly so foolish. Of course this was never going to last. "I'm their only Danish child, so. Crown Princess."
She looks like she's about to burst into tears over admitting it, and Cassian's heart hurts for how upset she is. He reaches out and cups her cheek, because he's trying to process this information while simultaneously wanting to wipe that expression off her face.
Jyn is a princess. His girlfriend, his best friend, is the crown princess of Denmark, meaning one day she is going to be a literal queen.
He feels a little dizzy, honestly, but he doesn't let go of her hand or her face, even if his mouth opens and closes in the shock of it. He bursts out a nervous laugh. "How long have you known?"
There, he can make a joke in his attempts to diffuse this tension, because he doesn't want her to flee and he needs to give himself a few more moments for this reality to continue to sink in.
"Oh, shut up, I'd be less nervous if I was coming out or pregnant!" She gives him a little shove with her free hand but joking is good, isn't it? He wouldn't be teasing her if he wanted her to leave.
Bodhi had cautioned her about getting involved but Cassian was honestly meant to be something light and fun and easy at first, it was only once they both got back to school that it stumbled into something more. She hadn't expected to care so much, despite Cassian being her best friend, so she never thought she'd have to go through what he'd gone through with boyfriends and girlfriends leaving him or using him or, the absolute worst, being disappointed he wasn't better. As if her big brother weren't the best thing in the world.
Chantico pads in and shoves her huge head into Jyn's lap, jostling their clasped hands and immediately drawing Jyn's attention from the elephant in the room. "Oh, I'm sorry we haven't pet you in two minutes, you must have been so forlorn."
Joking is very good! He can still joke with his girlfriend, who is a princess! His girlfriend is a princess.
Chantico comes to life as an intrusive thought, but he has to admit he's a little grateful for the interruption. She whines as Jyn pets her, and Cassian reaches over to do the same.
"We would have needed to have sex for you to be pregnant." Okay, so she's a princess, that's a new thing, but he's not about to pretend they're suddenly not dating anymore, that they haven't been trying to get laid for weeks to no avail. His dog is a good distraction though; it gives them both a different focal point while her admission fills the room. "I hope you are not expecting me to call you your highness."
Except with sarcasm, obviously. Will he ever actually address any of this for real?? Yes, eventually. Maybe in another minute.
Running her fingers through the dog's fur as she puts her paws in Jyn's lap to stretch up as if that will make it easier for Jyn to pet her. It does not, but that doesn't mean Jyn stops petting her, just leans back further on the couch so she has space to breathe without dog in her face. "I'll get you a tiara, mija."
A dog tiara.
She glances at Cassian, still nervous. "Invitation still stands."
He pauses. "Is it terrible to say I do not really care how you are styled?"
She knows he doesn't give a shit about monarchies, she cannot be surprised that it doesn't matter to him what her proper title is. Besides, maybe it'll help everything feel... normal. He wants to stay normal.
Even though she is petting his dog, he reaches out and puts his hand atop of hers, nudging it so he can wind their fingers together. Chantico can wait.
"I just want to keep calling you Jyn," he says, finally addressing some of it in a less joking way. She's royalty, but they're not in Denmark, and he's not Danish. He can just focus on how much he still adores Jyn and still wants to be with her. "I don't want this to change anything about us. The fact that you have invited me to meet your family is important to me."
"I don't really care either. I mean about calling me anything but Jyn, I care a lot about you coming to Christmas with me and it's starting to freak me out a little that you haven't actually said yes."
Freak out more than she already is, the anxiety still rolling through her, waiting for a hundred shoes to drop. It doesn't matter that he doesn't want it to change anything about them or that he took her hand again. Until he says yes or no she is going to be too nervous to function.
She just wants her parents and grandfather to meet this boy she is probably in love with, it's fine!
"My door back home has a lock and we can have loads of sex finally. No one to interrupt us, not even Bodhi." She is not past bribing him with sex.
