Cassian was on his knees below him sand. In front of him was Jyn, she was roughed up a bit, her hair ragged but still beautiful. The water lapped at their knees. Cassian said something to her, he couldn't make it out. It was so bright. They held each other in a tight embrace now a deep sadness was resting in his heart. And then he realized he was about to die.
Cassian awoke from his dream with a jolt. It felt as if he had been electrocuted. A sharp stabbing pain in his chest was all that remained from his dream. Cassian clutched his chest, his heavy breathing was all he could hear. He watched his fingers shake as he tried to calm down. He fumbled around his bed looking for his phone. He needed to text Jyn. Lately they had been meeting up at the coffee shops and swapping their dream books. But Cassian couldn't wait this time. He discovered his phone to see a missed call from Jyn. He checked the time, it was only a minute ago. Cassian hit the redial button and tried to calm himself to be able to talk.
"Cassian!" Her voice sounded higher on the phone.
"Jyn, I had a horrible dream I need to-"
"Me too!" She interupted. Only now did he notice her voice sounded strained as if she had been crying.
"Can you meet up?" He asked hearing his heart beat in his ears.
"It's four in the morning." Jyn stated.
"Oh." Cassian's heart sunk.
"Yes we can meet."
"Ok cool see you in five."


Jyn nuzzled her nose under her scarf. Her long army green coat kept her decently warm but she always found her face hurt in the cold. He boots thunked against the pavement as she made her way to Cassian. She spotted the fur fringe around his coat hood before she saw his face.
"Hey." She greeted when she was positive it was him. His eyes  had bags under them, he looked extremely tired. "Wow, are you okay?"
Cassian laughed a little. "Yeah I know I look like shit."
"It's okay me too." Jyn empathized.
"No never." Cassian said making her hide her smile.
"Come on I know a great spot to sit." Cassian offered.

When they got to the harbor Cassian nestled himself in his usual seating position on the railing. "So what was your dream about?" He finally asked.
"Well basiclly I died. At least I think I did." Cassian looked at her his eye widening. "Yeah I know, and you were there too and we were by a sunset I think?"
Cassian stood up now. "And we were hugging? And it got impossibly bright right?"
"How did you know?" Jyn asked flabbergasted
"Cause that was my dream."
Jyn looked at him in disbelief. "No way."
"Yes way." He said firmly. "Were were on a beach and he were holding each other and we were sad for some reason and the sun kept getting brighter and brighter. I don't think it was a sunset though."
"Holy shit." Jyn stared at the sky. "What is happening."
"I don't know." Cassian said deflated. He sat down next to her now. "I mean we're obviously alive." Jyn nodded.

Cassian stared at Jyn. Her face was just as clear as the dream had been. Jyn stared back at him her eyes slightly puffy from crying. A tear rolled down her cheek she reached up to wipe it away but Cassian beat her to it, whicking it away with his thumb. He held her face in his hand. "It's okay. We will figure it out Jyn. It's just a dream.:"
Jyn's lip trembled." But what if it's not. What it's some fucked up premonition or something." She contested looking up into his eyes.
"Either way, I'll be there for you."
Jyn gave a small smile before giving him a big hug. "Thank you" She whispered muffled into his shirt.
"Thank you too." He whispered back.
Jyn pulled away slightly and looked up at Cassian. He could feel her heart beat. Her lips parted slightly and Cassian leaned in.
