“Hey” The princess greeted the woman sitting in one of the med beds from the doorway .
“Hey” and was greeted with a faint wave in return as she made her way closer .
“ so you’re the woman who stole the death star plans . i've heard so much about you “ her voice was tinged with both slight cockiness and amusement .
“ Its jyn and i've heard much about you too princess … leia is it ??” her own voice matching a similar smug tone.
“ you can call me leia “ the smaller woman said bluntly as as she sat down on the bed near the other woman
“ so what are you in here for “
“ oh just some scrapes some blaster burns you know the usual “
“ well it's nothing some bacta can't heal “
They both had taken on a more joking tone .
“ well i just came by to inform you that the death star was destroyed . one of our pilots blew it up earlier . and … i came to thank you .what you and your team did was incredibly brave and a great help to the rebel cause .”
“ is that all ?”
Leia started to walk away until she felt a hand grab her wrist
“Wait one more thing “
“ what ?”
“Come closer”
jyn pulled the younger woman closer to her until their lips met and they kissed . her lips were soft and warm and she found herself gently holding one the buns the woman had fashioned her hair in . her hand half on the bun half on the back of her head . as the kiss continued she couldn't help but note the faint aroma of lavender that hung around . it was nice but she was briefly saddened when she remembered that lavender was a popular flower on alderaan . a planet which no longer existed and the home planet of the princess she was currently kissing .
After a bit she ended the kiss and they just sat in silence for a minute or so before leia spoke up again
““ right well this has been nice and all but i have to go get ready . i'm supposed to be at a medal ceremony in 2 hours .” the girl paused and then continued “ but there's gonna be a party later tonight to celebrate this victory . will i see you there ? “ she hated how flustered jyn was making her and she especially hated how she could just feel her cheeks getting redder . maybe the blush she applied earlier would hide it some.”
“Leia “
“Hmm”
“ it's a date “
