Cassian hadn't meant to piss you off.
But, if there was one thing he had learnt over the course of your relationship, it was that he never meant to piss you off. The intention was absent but the action was...well, it was present. And pretty fucking constant. He didn't often think about his actions (and even less about the things he said) and more often than not, you found yourselves with locked horns and bitter words. It got to the point where people in the Rebellion would tip-toe around the pair of you just for fear of being caught in the middle of it.
You wouldn't have described yourselves as enemies, not by any stretch of the imagination. Friends was a strong word too. Then again, there didn't seem to be a specific term for co-workers who have been each other's partner in crime for like five years and really admire each other and probably wanna fuck but also there's tension and-
-you probably get the point.
You were only in Cassian's life by circumstance, as he was in yours. The Rebellion forced you together and even though you'd always had the option to work alone or partner up with someone else, you never strayed from his side.
Even when you argued constantly. Even when Cassian pulled the dumbest shit.
"You could have at least asked me before you attacked the base!" you hadn't meant to yell. He just brought it out of you. "There were Storm Troopers everywhere-"
"- I don't need your permission!" Cassian cut you off. "I knew what I was doing. I made it out alive, didn't I?"
"Because of luck, Cass," you muttered. "Dumb fucking luck."
He snorted, rolling his eyes and pointing to you. "You wanna talk about dumb luck?"
"Cut the snide comments," you snapped. "You can't keep avoiding the point I'm making - we're partners and you keep making stupid decisions on your own!"
"So even if I made them with you, they'd still be stupid?"
"Yeah, but we'd be making them together."
"I don't get your logic," he muttered.
"We're meant to be a team," you quietly said. "I've worked with you for the better part of five years. I've tried so hard and sometimes it feels like you don't even like me."
"Hey," Cassian's voice went soft all of a sudden. "That's not true-"
"- I can take the yelling and insults, okay?" you continued. "I just can't deal with you not trusting me in the field. That just feels insulting, like you don't trust me-"
"- I trust you with my life," he cut you off. "More than anyone or anything."
"So why do you act like you hate me?" you pushed.
"I don't hate you..."
"What is it then?" you huffed. "What could possibly make you act like I'm your worst fucking enemy-"
"- I love you," he said. "I've always loved you."
"You do?"
"It seems as though there is a fine line between love and hate and how it makes someone act, but I have never been more sure of where I stand," Cassian admitted. "Do you ever see me arguing with anyone the way I do with you? Trying to protect them that way, or care about them that way?"
"No. I don't."
"There you go, then," he smiled. "I love you."
