Perfection was an illusion and Blyana Hightower had her own demons she was struggling with when she arrived at the capital. She felt broken from her past and didnt want to be defined by her diagnosis. Perhpas a man deemed as broken could be the one...
"Happy name day." Alicent declared smiling down at Blyana when she woke up.
"Thank you!" Blyana declared. "But I'm sleeping." there was another knock at the door.
"Suitors this early, Bly what will people think?" ALicent teased. Blyana sat up running a hand through her hair.
"Come in." Blyana answered and Larys poked his head in. "Larys." Alicent looked to her sister and saw pure happiness, it was strange. She didnt know Larys was Blyana's type. But she supposed Bly never had a boyfriend, suitor before and the two had been very close recently.
"I hope I'm not interupting." Larys remarked.
"Not at all." Blyana agreed and suddenly she felt very under dressed in her night gown and hoped her hair didnt look completely terrible.
"Happy name day." Larys said holding out a large box. Alicent took it from him.
"You didnt have to-" Blyana began as Alicent placed it on the bed before her. Blyana opened it up and her jaw dropped. "Larys!" Blyana declared smiling down at it. "Oh its beautiful!" Alicent peered in to see none other than a carrot cake. "Thank you thank you so much!"
"I knew you were missing out on it at the princess' wedding." Larys recalled. "I knew you needed one on your speical day."
"Thank you, this is so sweet." Blyana declared as she pulled it out of the box. Little orange carrots decorated, scattered around the frosting. "You are so sweet." Blyana put it on the table admiring it a moment longer before she turned to Larys hugging him. He relaxed into her his arm wrapped around her carefully.
"It's good too." Alicent agreed as she stuck a finger in the frosting.
"Cake to break our fast." Blyana declared. "Will you stay Larys?" Blyana questioned hopfully.
"I wouldnt want to intrude." Larys offered but he wanted to stay, he never wanted to leave.
"Stay, please!" Blyana begged still holding onto his hand.
"I would love that." Larys agreed.

"What are the big plans for today?" Larys questioned as blyana licked the frosting from her lips.
"Oh my Blyana is a party animal." Alicent teased. "Tea in the gardens then find a store that has books and Blyana spends all day there before we get sweets and come home snuggled up next to the fire."
"We do the same thing every year and I love our traditions." Blyana declared. Hearing it out loud made her seem very bland and boring but she loved it.
"Sounds like the perfect day and I ruined it." Larys offered.
"You did not." Blyana declared immediately. "Im glad you are here." Larys blushed back at her and Alicent chuckled into her cake.
