"I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There's nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you and your children because they are mine too. I am stronger than depression and I am braver than loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me." Alicent declared.

"Alicent that was so sweet." Davina remarked taking a step closer.

"Im worried about you. I dont want you to fall back into a state of never leaving bed." She went on. "You are too important to me. You are too important. I want to make sure you are healthy and happy and things just seem off. Between us between... everything." Alicent offered.

"Im okay." Davina assured as she climbed into bed. "Haven just takes a lot out of me." Davina offered.

"Oh I know. I know children are a lot of energy but it just seems like there is something else. I want to help if I can. Im your friend. Before anything else Im your friend Davina." Alicent reminded her.

"I know and Im glad I have you in my life. Im okay. I promise." Davina assured bringing a hand to alicents cheek.

"You would tell me if you werent right?" Alicent questioned softly. Davina nodded just slightly as Alicent snuggled in beside her. Davina pressed a kiss to her forehead as she closed her eyes.

They fit together perfectly Alicent thought. Arms and legs crossed over breathing the same breath. She didnt know how long she stared back at Davina in the darkness before she spoke up.

'You don't kiss me anymore. Alicent whispered and Davina opened her eyes. "Not since Haven was born." Alicent added gently. She didn't know what else to say she had so many things she wanted to say to ask but Davina leaned in kissing her. Alicent brought a hand to Davinas cheek as she stared across the pillow.

"Im sorry".

That's not- I didn't mean-" alicent began but davina kissed her again and again.

"I do love you". Davina reminded her. "My feelings didn't change. Not on that".

"On something else though". Alicent realized.

"I was talking to harwin more or talking to the clouds the water I pretend he hears me because he seemed to when I had that dream before Haven was born and he wants me to be happy. He knows you make me happy. " Davina remarked confidently.

"Its just strange having your husband watching you." Alicent pondered.

"Something like that". Davina agreed. "But I like who I am when Im with you. Harwin basically gave his blessing which is weird and great and makes me feel better. Just a lot on my mind."

"Oh I know". Alicent assured "I was just worried I didn't want to lose you".

"Never. You and me always". Davina reminded her kissing her again.

"Always." Alicent agreed. "I love you. I dont think I have ever loved anyone else... I dont want to lose you." she repeated. Davina kissed her again. 

"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become unnecessary."

"So I can stop talking and you can keep kissing me forever?" Alicent pondered. Davina nodded kissing her again. 

Falling asleep this time was easier both having cleared the air. Alicent smiled getting closer as Davinas fingers ran through Alicents hair. Noses touching breathing the same breath alicent wanted to fall asleep like this every single day and wake up with the woman she loved.
