Rightfully Mine // Ned Stark

No work, all play

But before they headed out another raven came.

'ooh get your lady Ned.' Alfie told him holding out the letter. 'one king is dead.' Ned read it over before bringing it to sasha.

'Brienne of tarth, swore to protect Renly Baratheon king of high garden, killed him before he got a chance to seal his marriage to new bride Margaery tyrell. Brienne is to be brought to justice, and face the punishment for her crimes, of the murder of Renly Baratheon.' Sasha didn't speak, didn't flinch, just stared down at the words. She held it out for ned, nodding solemnly.

'Sasha?' ned questioned and sasha let out a deep sigh. Her eyes slowly looked up to Ned. 'I'm sorry, I know he was family. Even if he wasn't the best of uncles.' Ned added.

'thank you.' She said softly. she never wished death on her uncles, she knew they would be shit kings but she never wished them dead.

But in truth Renly was killed by a spirit. Sent by his own brother Stannis, supposedly, the lord of light giving Renly a shadowy death.

Ned came in to their room to see sasha lying in bed laying in her side facing the window. She didn't move when he entered he quietly closed the door behind him laying down next to her. Pressing his body up against her. Gently kissing her neck. His lips dragging up her neck and cheek. wrapping an arm around her waist theirs bodies fit perfectly together. He rested his chin on her shoulder his head against hers. She brought a hand up. Cupping his cheek before tracing slow finger down his jaw to his chin. They didnt need to speak he kissed her cheek again before she fell asleep in his arms.

'We should go to riverrunn.' Sasha said the next morning when ned came back. She still lay on the bed blankets wrapped around her as he brought them breakfast. She sat up as he placed a plate in front of her on the bed. He sat down next to her moving to kiss her cheek but she turned her head capturing his lips with hers. He smiled into resting his forehead against her. He brought a hand up cupping her cheek stroking a gentle thumb across her face he could feel the dried tears from the night before.

'We can wait'. Ned told her. 'They are not going anywhere. The war is still raging on. We can take some time.' Ned informed her

'No. We should leave sooner rather than later.' Sasha told him

'You always were all work'. Ned teased

'I think you and i have been playing quite a bit since we left kings landing.' she countered.

'True true' he said kissing her again.
