Soon You'll Get Better // Sandor Clegane

9. I Trust You

There is a time in a young mans life when absolutely anything can give them a boner. Sleeping pressed up against the love of your life was a no brainer. Estella twisted and turned slightly then she rolled over and sandor loosened his grip on her momentarily while she got situated.

'Somethings poking me,' she mumbled, a leg draped over him.

'Huh... thats...' he couldnt make it stop though. Not with her curled up next to him. Not with her leg draped over him. Not with his hand running up and down her warm skin. Her head nuzzling into him. He thought his heart might explode from this close proximity.

Sandor had an arm wrapped around Estellas waist when he woke up the next morning. He almost thought it was a dream, a magical and beautiful dream. But no, this was real and Estella was pressed up against him. Sandor was at his home with the girl of his dreams in his bed. He inched closer to her breathing her in.

She made a soft little noise as he got closer to her leaning back into him. He rested his chin on her shoulder his arm still draped over her as her eyes flickered in a dream under her eyelids.

 It was a perfect week, just him and Estella and no One telling him that he was being irrational for falling in love when he looked like he did. That no one would love him. Because estella made him feel loved.

He couldn't help it. Estella was perfect. She was his friend, she was kind, she was sweet. She loved him for him, she didnt judge his face his scars, didnt see a monster like the rest of the world did. She saw him and he loved her for it. 

"Stell! Stell! Stell! Stell!" Tyrion declared. 

But Tyrion came waddling up and ruined the would be fun. At least sandor had hoped to where things were going. He was still a boy but he was a large boy, and he had needs he wanted Estella to be his.

"Sandor I can't swim." Estella remarked. He stared back at her. 

"I can teach you." Sandor assured. 

"I dont... I just... there is a lot of... things in the water..." Estella offered awkwardly. 

"What the fuck are you on about?" Sandor countered moving closer to her. 

"I read-"

"I know, you read too much." Sandor agreed and a small smile curved her face. 

"I read about the monsters in the water when I was younger and... I just... they terrify me." estella admitted. "Kracken and sharks and a loch ness monster." Estella told him. "It has monster in its name."

"They dont come this far." Sandor assured. 

"But you are saying they are real." Estella countered.

"You will never see them." Sandor assured pulling her closer. He liked the idea of her being wet, clothes turned sheer at the waters touch and his hands on her. He loved the idea of his hands on her.

"What if they do?" Estella questioned urgently. "What if they decide that they want a snack and we look like a snack for the monsters?"

"I will protect you." Sandor declared and he had never been more confident.

He inched her towards the water and Estella cringed at the cold water rushing up her legs. 

"I got you." Sandor assured. 

"You are taller than I." Estella reminded him. 

"I got you." Sandor repeated.

"Tip toes!" Estella declared. 

"I got you Estella." Sandor declared "I wont let you down." Her eyes pinched closed, Sandor kept his hands on her waist.

"I can't touch!" Estella informed him dramatically. She wrapped her legs around his hips and clung to him. Sandor chuckled holding onto her. 

"Should have done this ages ago." Sandor mumbled into her hair. 

His hands slid around her thighs and grazing her ass as she flinched at every little fish that swam by them. 

"Not a monster." Sandor assured. "Just close your eyes." Sandor requested. She looked to him instead. "I got you. I wont let anything happen to you, I promise." Estella nodded closing her eyes and resting her forehead on his shoulder he ran a hand along her back under her thighs as she clung to him. 

"I got you, I got you, I promise." Sandor whispered against her. He felt her relax against him. she smiled looking back at him. She brought a hand to his face.

"I trust you, Sandor."
