The Heir // King Viserys Targaryen // Daemon Targaryen

23. Terms and conditions

Viserys' door open and closed soundlessly and avalon approached.

'Hello Avalon.' he said smiling down at her. She sat down on his bed and pulled the covers up around her. 'What are you doing love?' He questioned walking over to her

'We need to talk and i thought here was better than with your council staring at us.' Avalon told him as she lay down she pat the spot next to her.

'You know you used to do this when you were little.' viserys remarked sliding in next to her. She curled up into him.

'I know.' she answered softly. 'You made the nightmares go away.' She told him

'And now I'm becoming your nightmare, the irony.' Viserys remarked dryly.

'No you're not,' avalon assured. 'I wanted to set some ground rules and they might sound a bit bitchy which is why i didnt want to say them in front of the council.' Avalon went on.

'Of course you have rules.' viserys laughed

'Well more like guidelines things to which I won't be saying or doing.' Avalon told him

'Fire away.' Viserys told her as he ran a hand along her shoulder blade and up into her white hair she leaned her head against him.

'I'm not calling you your grace or any form of that.' Avalon told him

'You never have I wouldn't expect you start now.' viserys remarked kissing her forehead.

'I'm not giving up dragon riding.' Avalon informed him. 'Not ever.' He stared down at her. Rhaenyra was so much like Avalon. Strong fearless and hot headed at times.

'When you get pregnant that wouldn't be save for the baby my dear.' Viserys reminded her. Avalon stared up at him defiantly. 'Avalon dragon riding is ridiculously dangerous sweetheart. I wont allow that to continue once we are wed.'

'Non negotiable.' Avalon told him firmly.

'Avalon-'

'Non. Negotiable.' She said slowly and viserys let out a sigh. He knew she would fight him on something tonight and it had to be dragons.

'Can we table that discussion?' Viserys suggested

'No.' She told him immediately.

'What other rules or conditions are there?' Viserys pondered.

'That's it.' Avalon told him and his hand froze on her back

'That's it?' He questioned staring down at her but she wasnt looking up at him

'That's it.' She confirmed

'No your grace and yes to dragon riding?' Viserys clarified

'Yes'. Avalon agreed. 'For a king you really dont pay attention.' She teased smirking up at him.

'Avalon-'

'Non negotiable.' Avalon reminded him

'Dragon riding-'

'Is dangerous. But brother I already love. Not how I assume a wife loves her husband but I love you and if you think I will be good a good queen for you than those are my terms and I'm yours. I sign on the line and everything.' avalon mused

'Avalon...' she looked up to him then. She always had the prettiest of eyes. When she was little she would look up at him pout and bat her eyelashes and he would give her the moon. He brushed her hair behind her ear and held her cheek in his hand.  'Alright.' he agreed.

'Alright.' she confirmed.

'Can I kiss you?' Viserys questioned

'If you want.' Avalon told him bluntly and it made him laugh. Life loving avalon was certainly going to be interesting.

'I do want to.' Viserys confirmed he stared down at her. 'Are you sure I kiss you?' Viserys asked again hesitantly and softly and avalon nodded. It was strange kissing him like this. When he pulled away he rested his forehead against hers. Avalon kept her eyes closed a moment longer

'That was weird right?' Viserys offered trying to diffuse some awkward tension

'Yeah,' she admitted softly a smile in her face as she tipped her head into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her kissed her head before resting his chin on her head. This had to work. Avalon was his best option his closest friend and the only person he could logically see himself ever trying to start over with. She was always his little rainbow his ray of light someone that always knew what he wanted and needed. Avalon was perfect. He knew this for years now but she was to be his. His like no other had her before.

She looked up at him as he stared down at her waiting for her to make the first move.

'I think we best try again.' Avalon remarked and viserys smiled softly.

'You sure?'

'Yes.' She agreed. So he kissed her again. She didn't know if she was the right person to be queen but she loved her brother and trusted him. If this was what he wanted then she could let herself want it to.

'Avalon,' he whispered against her lips

'Yes?'

'I can't thank you enough. For all you are sacrificing by doing this. Becoming my wife. My queen.' Viserys told her.

'Don't thank me you will make me feel like a whore,' avalon teased. Viserys smiled down at her brushing her hair from her face. 'I love you viserys. I'm sure We can love each other how a husband loves his wife and a wife her husband if you keep kissing me like that.' avalon added with a cheeky grin. So he pressed his lips to hers again.

'Stay here tonight.' Viserys told her when he pulled away.

'Okay.' she whispered as she tucked her chin to her chest and closed her eyes. He stared down at her for a while. His fingers drawing patterns and symbols along her shoulder blade as she slept peacefully. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Maybe this would be good. A fresh start.

They spent most nights like that. As thing were being prepared for their union Avalon spent every night in Viserys bed. They were already close but this impending arrangement forced them to be closer. Viserys adored his little sister she could always make him happy always make him laugh and made him feel less alone in the world.
