"We could get a whole pizza. In case we get hungry... later." Later after bouts of wildly acrobatic sex, that way they won't have to figure out what to eat when they get hungry at 2am after making out naked on the couch, too tired to keep banging but too wired to go to sleep like reasonable adults.
She can very much see that happening this evening so it makes sense to prepare for the best.
As if he wasn't already beaming, Cassian's face brightens more. Maybe this evening isn't going like he planned so far, but it's going... better. It's still going great. He's holding her hand and they're gonna get pizza and hang out on his couch all night. Probably naked.
He resists the urge to tell her she's the real midnight snack, as tempting as it is. Maybe he'll feel safer doing so after they actually sleep together.
"What do you like on your pizza?" That's a yes, let's get a whole pie. "My favorite is jalapeños and olives, but I know it is not everyone's choice. I am not picky."
"Wow, that's... absolutely horrifying." She is insulting his taste with a bright smile and a laugh, but that sure sounds disgusting. And she's definitely going to snog him after he eats that.
"Sausage, spinach, and mushrooms. We can get a half with each." And then they won't have to eat the other's disgusting toppings and still enjoy their own. Sure they could split a full pepperoni but why would they?
"They balance each other out!" How rude, Jyn! He's inviting you back to his house, and you insult his favorite pizza!! But he's laughing too, so clearly he doesn't care that much. "Yours is not much better."
He can't seem to stop laughing or smiling and he doesn't even want to. "Half and half, sounds great."
Cassian orders it when they get to the counter, with some mild friendly chatter with the worker - he clearly comes in here a lot - and he even gets a few dollars off the pie when they don't charge him for every single topping.
Maybe the guy just senses something excellent is happening in this very fine pizza establishment tonight.
They chat idly while the pizza gets made, and either it's a slow night or Cassian's friendliness pays off, because it only takes about fifteen minutes for the pie to finish. Cassian tries to pay, but Jyn fights with him and they go halfsies. She even manages to grab the box before him, cackling her way out of the restaurant.
But then he gets to put his arm around her shoulders outside, so it works out nicely.
He wasn't kidding when he said it was a short walk to the pizza place, just around the block from his apartment. It's a decent building, and he takes them up the elevator to the third floor. The living room and kitchen are connected and decently spacious, with two doors off to the side for his bedroom and bathroom. He probably could have afforded a two bedroom apartment on his upcoming salary, but what use would it be? No one's going to crash at his house. If anything, he'd stay over at Shara's.
While Jyn puts the pizza down on the table, Cassian moves to the fridge. "Water? Soda? Beer?"
He has a nice apartment, clearly just moved into since it doesn't look nearly as lived in as Jyn's own apartment. It has an elevator, which is nice except she spent the entire brief ride smelling his cologne and trying not to shove him against the wall.
Get a grip, girl.
She sets down the pizza, glancing around before she turns back at his question. "Water with ice, please." Maybe that will chill her out enough to eat some pizza before she climbs him like a tree. Maybe, maybe, maybe she will just jump him right now...
NO. Pizza first. She is hungry anyway, even if her mind if completely occupied. "Can you, um. Could you kiss me so I'll stop thinking about it?"
It is definitely too neat as a combination of having just moved in plus his being a literal neat freak - but he also just doesn't have a lot of stuff yet. He was all over the world the last few years when he wasn't in medical school, it left little time for much personal effects.
He's not quite self conscious about his apartment, but there isn't much of a tour to give, so he just gets her a glass of ice water when she asks. He turns around with it just as she asks for the one thing he has been dying to do for probably just as long as her.
His mouth quirks up with a grin, and he sets the water down on the island table before stepping up close to her. He reaches out and gently cups her face with his hands, breathing in like he can't quite believe this is happening. "You are not the only one who has been thinking about it."
And then he leans in to kiss her, pressing his lips to hers as tentative as he is sure. He's wanted to kiss her since she walked into that pizza place. Longer, if he's being honest, but it hadn't been as pressing before.
