Drama Queen // Otto Hightower // Thea Queen

9. Monstrosity

Soon You'll Get Better/ Sandor Clegane out now!

"Sober up while I try to fix this union." Moira spat storming back inside.

"Fuck you." Thea countered and Moira turned back to her but Otto came up behind Moira.

"Lord Otto. I'm sorry about her... Theadora is a drama queen." Moira remarked.

"But i'm still royalty." Thea corrected through slurred words as she tripped on her high heels.

"In her own mind.'' Tommy added and thea shoved him colliding with him.

"Would it be alright if I escorted Lady Thea back to her chambers." Otto offered holding out his hand. 

"What a nice thought." Moira agreed. 

"I will come with you. Thea is a bit heavy when shes drunk." Oliver remarked. He didnt think Otto would stoop so low as to try and take advantage of his sister while she appeared to be in such an intoxicated state but he would rather be safe than sorry, especially when it came to Thea. 

Thea clung onto Olivers back as they walked silently down the halls. 

"Remember when we were little and you let me ride on your back?" Thea questioned tipping her head into Olivers. 

"You were lighter back then." Oliver agreed. 

"Are you calling me fat?" Thea countered. 

"You were all bones back then." Oliver corrected. "Skinny little thing, still are..." Oliver assured. 

"You are calling me fat." Thea decided. "Are we far enough?" 

"Coast is clear." Oliver agreed and Otto glanced to them confused as Thea jumped off Olivers back shaking out her arms and legs. 

"That was fun." Thea declared standing up straight. Otto stared back at her confused. "Please know that my attitude today was not about you but about my bitch of a mother." 

"Are you alright my lady?" Otto countered confused. 

"Please I've been drinking with Tommy and Ollie since I was a kid. The castle also has weak wine." Thea assured. "Thanks Ollie." She whispered kissing his cheek. 

"You good?" 

"I'm good. See you tomorrow for more hell from mother." Thea agreed. "Night Ollie."

"Night Drama." Oliver called as he headed down the hall. 

"Help me with the ties?" Thea questioned as she stepped into her chambers. Otto followed her in closing the door behind him. She pulled her hair around her shoulders for him. 

"So what did you think of mother dearest?" Thea pondered. 

"Is that why you dont want children?" Otto questioned taking his time with the ties running along the back of her dress. Thea gave a little shrug. "You didnt have the best of mothers and you dont want to fuck up your children?"

"Something like that." Thea agreed softly. 

"I'm sorry about tonight." Otto admitted. 

"What do you have to be sorry about? Your family was perfect, it was my mother being a bitch." Thea muttered. 

"I'm sorry she treated you like that." Otto clarified. 

"I'm used to it." Thea countered. "It's what parents do right?" she offered looking at him through the mirror. "I doubt Alicent thought Viserys was soo handsome and wanted to bed him." Otto opened and closed his mouth wordlessly. "Parents fuck up their children trying to get the best for them. It's just what they do." 

"Where is your father?" Otto asked instead. 

"Dead... or dead to me... I forget." Thea mused but Otto saw the pain in her eyes. "I loved him, when he passed... mother took psycho bitch Queen to a new level." 

"She gave me the rings she picked out." Otto remarked he had long since finished untying her dress yet his hands lingered on her back. 

"Oh, boring and large I assume. So everyone would know..." Thea breathed out as she started pulling off her own rings. "Well, lets see the monstrosity." Otto pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it again. It was a monstrosity. He held out the pouch to her. "Great..." Thea rasped handing it back to him. 

"I suppose I will see you tomorrow." Otto remarked taking a step back. Thea nodded pulling her bracelet off and throwing it to the dresser. 

"Goodnight Thea." 

"Night." She whispered back. 

Otto should have went to bed but knowing that Thea didnt get a single say in her own wedding made him feel awful. He had pushed Alicent to Viserys and now Thea's mother was doing the same thing. Sure Thea was older than Alicent but Otto wasnt a spring chicken either. To see her face so broken as her mother openly belittled her. To see Alicent's smug face that his future wife would hopefully give him hell as well. 

"I need something made. Right now." Otto demanded on the welders. "I can pay extra. I know its late." 

"What do you need Lord hand?" 

"A ring." Otto answered. "You can even melt this down if you want." Otto held out the ring Moira had demanded he used for the wedding tomorrow. "But this is what I want it to look like..."
