I did 32 with rebelcaptain already! Also I’m feeling generous (or ambitious lol) so I’m going to do both 4 and 9 😀 (also I’m assuming this is from the most recent prompt list I reblogged which was a while ago now oops)

*throws sniperpilot on a mission together* you’re welcome

“There you are,” Bodhi hisses. “What took you so long?” 

“I realize I make this look easy, but this whole espionage thing isn’t a walk in the park,” Cassian replies with a grunt.

Bodhi grumbles something about cramping from hiding in the bushes so long. Cassian pats him on the shoulder. “You can complain when we’re back on the ship.”

Bodhi nods, putting away his network scrambling gear. “Yeah, I think they’re going to notice your disappearance pretty soon.”

“I hope not,” Cassian mutters as they trudge back in the direction of the ship.

Bodhi leads the way, and Cassian can’t help but notice something stuck in Bodhi’s hair, fluttering about in the wind. 

“Bodhi,” he calls. 

“Yeah?” Bodhi doesn’t turn to look at him, and keeps moving towards the ship waiting for them on the platform. 

“There’s a leaf in your hair.”

“Oh.” Bodhi stops and swats at his hair. “Is it gone?”

“Nope.” 

Bodhi drops the bag of gadgets with a thunk beside the ship’s loading ramp, and tugs at his hair elastic, letting his hair go loose. He runs a hand through it, attempting to shake off the offending leaf. Cassian watches him, mystified. 

“Is it gone now?” 

Cassian snaps out of his reverie. “Uh, nope.” He moves to pull the leaf out but Bodhi’s hair but he keeps shaking it to no prevail.

“Will you just hold still?” Cassian says sternly. Bodhi lets his hands drop to his sides. “Now turn around.” Bodhi didn’t really need to turn around, but Cassian was on a mission and he couldn’t let himself get distracted by Bodhi’s face. 

He gently disentangles the leaf from Bodhi’s hair, trying not to let his hands linger too long. He does pause longer than he needs to before speaking, trying to get his nerves back in working order. He’s so close!  

“There,” he says, showing the leaf to Bodhi before flicking it away. 

“Thanks.” Bodhi begins to gather his hair up in a ponytail and Cassian has to force himself to turn away, almost missing the sounds of people headed in their direction. 

“We’ve got company!”

Bodhi looks up, swears, and bolts towards the cockpit. “I’ll get ready for takeoff, keep me covered for one minute!”

Cassian sighs, pulling out his blaster. He’d have to leave the daydreams for later. Duty calls.
