Posting a snippet from the winner of the badly-summarized WIP game!
Winner was: "beep beep. get in, bitch we're going strangers to roadtrip buddies to lovers 🚘"
As soon as Jyn was certain Cassian was capable of operating a manual and driving on the left side of the road at the same time with a reasonable level of competency, she tore her eyes from the road and pulled out her phone.
Jyn: So…remember how my flight got canceled?
Not a minute later her phone buzzed against her thigh, Cassian briefly looked in her direction at the sound–it may as well have been a scream in the silent car–but made no comment.
Bodhi: No trains, no buses, yeah I remember. Did you manage to find a car?
Jyn: Sortof
She watched the dots dancing as Bodhi typed, pictured her friend frantically tapping away.
Bodhi: Why are you being vague? Wth does that mean?
Bodhi: What did you do
Bodhi: Call me.
Jyn: Can’t right now
Jyn: But it’s not what you think. I haven’t backed out…
Jyn: I hitched a ride with someone
Bodhi: CALL ME
Jyn: Bodhi relax
Jyn: I’m fine
Her phone started to vibrate in steady repetition in her palm, a picture of her and Bodhi atop Arthur’s seat (taken during his recent visit) glowing up at her. With a twinge of guilt she hit the ‘reject’ button perched just to the left of her friend’s cheesy grin.
“You can get that if you need to,” Cassian commented lightly, eyes still fixed on the road.
“I don’t,” she replied quickly, tilting her screen away from him despite the fact he had made no move to even glance in her direction.
Jyn: I told you I can’t talk rn
Bodhi: Who tf did you get a ride with
Jyn: Bodes. Deep breath.
Jyn: All is well.
Bodhi: See you say that but…
Jyn: I’ll call you when I can
She stared at the screen for a moment longer, ran her thumb over a small crack, and with a sigh continued typing.
Jyn: How is he?
Bodhi typed for longer than he needed to, likely debating what to say.
Bodhi: Just call me when you can.
Jyn locked her phone and set it face down in her lap.
But it gave another insistent hum.
Bodhi: Also share your location with me
Bodhi: And a pic of whoever ur with
Bodhi: So I know who to hunt down if you disappear
Shaking her head and huffing a soft laugh she did as he asked and shared her location.
Bodhi: Thx
Bodhi: Pic?
Jyn: Not happening
Bodhi: JYN
Bodhi: Don’t make me blow up your phone rn
Bodhi: I’ll do it
Bodhi: You know I will
Bodhi: Watch me
Bodhi: Isn’t this annoying??
Bodhi: Hello
Bodhi: I
Bodhi: am
Bodhi: Waiting
Bodhi: :)
The three dots appeared again, unapologetic and unrelenting.
Jyn: For the love of god stop. fine.
Jyn: one sec
Fuck. She looked over at Cassian, face flashing in and out of gold and shadow as they passed under neighborhood street lamps, winding their way to the motorway. For some reason the sight made her stomach give a nervous flip. “God damn it.”
“What?”
Apparently she was beginning to lose her filter–because this wasn’t awkward enough as it was. “I didn’t say anything,” she lied, turning swiftly towards the window to study the houses they passed by. Their quaint windows–just beginning to show signs of life as the earliest morning workers stirred and started their day–revealed no solutions.
Her phone began to vibrate incessantly again.
“Are you sure you don’t need to get that?” Cassian asked, this time throwing her a quick glance.
Jyn wiped clammy palms against the knees of her jeans and resigned herself to her fate. (Bodhi could be nearly as stubborn as her when he wanted to be, it was best just to appease him and get it over with before things got any more humiliating.)
“It’s my friend,” she explained. “He’s asking for a photo of you.”
“In case I’m an ax-murderer?”
“Not comforting that came so easily to you,” she quipped, “but, yeah, pretty much.”
“Makes sense.” Cassian appeared decidedly unbothered as he leaned over the steering wheel, craning to see around a blind corner before making his turn. “Go ahead, I don’t mind.”The car swung wide, and Jyn swallowed her embarrassment, raising her phone to quickly snap a pic. Without bothering to check her recent messages she fired it off to Bodhi with the caption “Happy now?”
