Boys Like You / Tyrion Lannister

30. Yell at You

"Do you enjoy my brothers company?" Cersei questioned.

"I-"

"Because he is scum," cersei added. "He is evil and manipulative and- here." Rieka turned around as tyrion came in.

"Rieka, what are you doing here?" Tyrion questioned.

'You had no right to exile him!' Cersei shouted, 'I am the queen!' Rieka took a step back this was a family conflict and rieka would never be a lannister.

'Queen regent,' Tyrion corrected. 'I am the kings hand-' tyrion reminded her. His eyes darting to rieka. What was she doing here? With Cersei...

'You are serving as the king's hand till father gets here I am the queen regent.' Cersei spat

'Listen to me queen regent, it is for the best of the people do you hear me?' Tyrion told her.

'The people? Do you think I care?' Cersei spat.

"A good queen might." Rieka murmured as she backed up to the door.

'You might find it difficult to rule over millions who want your dead,' Tyrion told her 'half the city will starve when winter comes and the other half will come here to kill you. The gold plated thugs just gave them their rallying cry a king that slaughters babies... You don't even have the decency to deny it." Tyrion told her ashamed until he realized. 'It wasn't you who gave the order... was it?' Tyrion questioned seeing her wicked sneer falter.

"I feel like i missed something." Rieka offered.

"Joffrey didn't even tell you. Did he tell you? I imagine that would be even worse.' Tyrion added. Tyrion gave rieka a look that said i will tell you how awful joffrey is later.

'He did what needed to be done. Do you want to be hand of the King? Do you want to rule? This is what it is? Lies, lying on a bed of weeds and ripping them out by the root one by one before the strangle you in your sleep.' Cersei informed him.

'I know he is the King,' tyrion said taking a step forward. 'but I think there's more to ruling than that.' Tyrion said calmly. Rieka was pleasantly surprised at how well tyrion seemed to be doing in charge.

'I do not care what you think! you've never taken it seriously, you haven't and Jaime hasn't, it's all fallen on me.' cersei said sitting down.

'As has Jaime... repeatedly according to Stannis Baratheon.' Tyrion said smugly. Riekas face dropped her father was right. Cersei didnt seem phased though rieka however ran down the hall as quick as possible her father learned that and lost his head she didnt want to die for that secret.

'You're funny... You've always been funny... But none of your jokes will ever match the first one will they? Do you remember? Back when you ripped my mother open on the way out of her and she bled to death.' Cersei told him venomously.

'She was my mother to.' Tyrion reminded her.

'Now she is gone for the sake of you. there's no bigger joke in the world than that,' she told him walking away.

"Knock, knock... Rieka?"

"Come on in." Rieka agreed. She saw his teary face, as he tried to be brave.  "Tyrion what happened after I left?"

"Nothing."

"You were crying." Rieka corrected and he wiped at his tear stained cheeks.

"There goes my tough guy act."

"What happened?"

"I just wanted to see the good in my life... make me feel better."

"And thats me?"

"Always."

Tyrion should have stayed snuggled up beside Rieka in bed but he just had to get up and ruin his good mood.

'You monster!' Cersei shouted she was waiting for tyrion annoyed. 'My only daughter! You think I will sell her like a common whore?'

'Myrcella is a princess some would say she's born for this.' Tyrion told her.

'I will not let you ship her off to Dorne just as I was shipped off to Robert!' Cersei screamed.

'Dorne is the safest place for her.' Tyrion told her.

'Are you mad the martells are at war with us!' Cersei screamed.

'That is why we need to seduce them, we are going to need their support in the war your son started.' Tyrion reminded her.

'She will be a hostage!' Cersei told him.

'A guest' Tyrion corrected.

"Why did I see tyrion leaving your chambers this morning?" Sansa spat.

"We hung out." Rieka answered over breaking fast.

"In your room?"

"It wasnt anything but two friends." Rieka assured.

"We he there late or early?"

"Both." Rieka murmured.

"Father would kill you both!" Sansa shrieked.

'You won't get away with this, you think the piece of paper father gave you keeps you safe? Ned stark had a piece of paper to.' Cersei reminded him

'It's done cersei.' Tyrion told her.

'No' she stormed through the room

'You cannot stop it.' Tyrion agreed.

'No!' She smashed around the room.

'Just how safe do you think Marcella is if the city falls?' Tyrion questioned.  'Do you want to see her raped and butchered like the Targaryen children? Make no mistake they will mount a pretty little head on a spike right next to yours.' Tyrion told her. 'right next to mine.' Tyrion said.

''I will hurt you for this, the day will come when you think you are safe and happy and your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth and you will know that the debt is paid.' Cersei spat.  'Get out get out!' she screamed pushing him down he got up slowly walking out. Tyrion turned back to see cersei break down, tears in her eyes.

"I like tyrion. Hes sweet." Rieka remarked.

"He was in your bed?"

"He was-"

"Rieka!" Sansa shouted.

"Hes sweet! And he was having a bad day-"

"So you bedded him!"

"No! No! I didnt. I did not! I did no such thing! We talked and fell asleep thats it. I didnt bed him sansa. Im not that kind of girl," Rieka remarked. "I thought you knew me better than that."

'Tyrion,' Bronn hissed.

'Did you find him?' Tyrion questioned

'Oh I have and he's got company filthy old stoat I hate to interrupt.' Bronn said with a grin.

'No you don't.' Tyrion said.

"What are you boys up to?"

"Rieka!" Tyrion declared.

'You're right I don't.' Bronn agreed happily. "Hey gorgeous."

"I..." tyrion pulled her away from bronns prying ears. "Im sorry about this morning. I wish i stayed in bed."

"Me too I got yelled at for doing absolutely nothing wrong with you" rieka remarked. Tyrion chuckled.

"Next time you want to get yelled at for doing something... I am your man." Tyrion remarked.

"Are you my man?" Rieka mused.

"I want to be."
