Sweet Nothing // Daemon Targaryen

90. All To Myself

"That includes learning the language. Alyssa is doing better than you." Alyssa stuck her tongue out at Baelon as he clung to Davina's side.

"Why do I need to learn?"

" Skorī dēmalȳti tymptir tymis, ērinis iā morghūlis.'' Davina told him and Devin groaned. "Daelia?"

"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." Daelia answered.

"I knew that." Devin muttered. Her girls were very much like herself and her boys very much Daemon. All skilled flyers and her boys lacked the patience for studies.

"It is important to know of your history." Davina told them. "It is important... to me." Davina told him fixing his hair. "Please honey, for me..." Davina whispered kissing his forehead.

"For you." Baelon agreed.

"But can I be done for now?" Devin offered.

"Daor." Davina answered.

"I knew that meant no!" Baelon called after her.

"If you know this, we are done for today." Davina agreed and her boys nodded nodded ready. "You too ladies." Davina agreed. "If you dont know it" davina looked to Daemon watching them. "Daddy is going to stay in and study with you."

"What?" Daemon groaned shaking his head.

"I'm ready mama." Daelia assured.

"Get this right." Daemon told Baelon and Devin.

"Easy." Devin assured but Daelia smirked over at him distracting him.

"Sesīr kipi!''

Devin opened his mouth wordlessly.

"Baelon?" Davina asked innocently.

"FUCK IT ALL!" Devin shouted slamming his hands on the table.

"Language only mama gets to say those words." Davina reminded him.

"Alyssa?"

"And now, we ride!" Alyssa declared.

"Keep at it Boys," Davina said as he turned back to his books agitated. "Daemon." Davina kissed him as she got up.

"Ruin my fun." Daemon said reaching out for her.

"Avy jorrāelan.'' Davina called over her shoulder.

''Avy jorrāelan, Muña.'' Devin called after her.

"Very good love."

"Slow down!" Baelon demanded.

"Speed up!" Alyssa countered.

"Whoo hoo!" Alyssa shouted raising her hands up as Davina and Daemon were racing. Each had a child in their laps.

Davina loved that her babies had that thrill of riding. That passion that she did. She loved that look on their faces when they touched the clouds.

Daemon and Davina smiled at each other, not speaking any words to betray their thoughts. They didn't need them. Words wouldn't have been good enough, anyway.

"Would you like some tea?"

Davina shook her head. He reached across the bed and put his hand over hers.

"Sorry if I woke you."

"You didn't wake me. The empty space in our bed did."

They sat there in silence for a while, both of them knowing why they were staring back at each other talking tea instead of the real problem at hand. Westeros. Neither of them wanting to start the discussion that they knew they would have to eventually have. He rolled next to her, holding her closer and put his forehead against her shoulder, sighing deeply before turning his face up to kiss her neck.

"I keep waking up and finding you wandering around the house, pacing, cleaning things that aren't dirty, straightening things that aren't messy, or sitting in here in the dark like you're waiting for something to happen." He nuzzled his nose into her shoulder and planted a second kiss there. "The anxiety is just radiating off of you, sweetheart."

"I'm sorry."

"No, no no...there's nothing to be sorry for, love. If anything I feel like I should be apologizing to you. I talked you into leaving so quickly. I get the feeling you felt like your choices were taken away and now you feel powerless to deal with the consequences." She turned her face to look at him and he lifted his head to meet her gaze.

"Consequences?" Davina asked. "It's been ten years, Dae. I want to go home. So do you.'

"I like this better." Daemon corrected.

"Dae! Lies!"

"What? You all to myself... I quite like it." Daemon corrected.

"I like it..." Davina agreed kissing him over and over again.
