One Good Reason / Lucerys Velaryon

12. Downpour

Sera strapped Renly back onto her chest and they took flight heading south, heading towards the sun. Luke held Sera and the reigns as they flew, he felt more confident with her beside him.

"I want mama!" Jadyn screamed bloody murder. Aemond chuckled from the doorway.

"Whats she is really saying is I want to speak to your supervisor." Aemond assured Aegon.

"Shut the fuck up." Aegon countered.

"Language around the babies." Aemond corrected.

"Why isnt she back?" Aegon barked.

"She wants to stay at storms end, I was going to deliver the twins to her."

"What?" Aegon countered.

"She doesnt care that she is queen, she can't stand to be around you." Aemond agreed.

"I'm the king!" Aegon objected.

"And you have never treated her like a queen." Aemond agreed. "Sucks to suck." Aegon jumped up shoving aemond back. "You want to start a fight? Fighting me however is not something you can finish with your dignity intact." aemond warned.

Aegon grit his teeth shaking his head.

"Fuck off Aemond."

"This is so fun!"

"Sorry arrax isnt bigger." Luke admitted but he liked her close to him.

"I would be scared if we were farther apart." Sera countered. "I like you close Lucerys."

His name- his full name on her tongue was so seductive he felt like a man. Or one step closer to being a man. Her arms tightened around him as renly stared wide eyed at rhe world around them flying by with the breeze.

It was larys that set out with the eldest two children. Bringing with Anne, one of seras ladies in waiting to tend to the children. She had long red hair in braids down her back. Jadyn sat in her lap while robert stared out the window.

"We are basically stealing the prince and princess." Anne reminded him. Larys looked up from his book.

"The queen herself requested this." Larys reminded her.

"Yeah but... we took them in the cover of night-"

"It's still light out." Larys gestured to the window.

"-Hidden away, from their father and-"

"Who's side are you on?" Larys cut in. Anne was known to be dramatic.

"Seraphinas of course." Anne answered. "I live to serve her excellence!"

'Then do us all a favor and shut up." Larys begged. "Serve her in silence." Anne was silent for a three seconds before she looked like she might explode.

"You are so funny larys! Sorry. Lord strong. Such a funny name. Strong. Did your ancestors want to be strong and decided their new namesake would be strong?" Anne asked. Larys blinked back at her.

"I dont know."

"Oh. Maybe im right then."

"Maybe..." heavens help him this was going to be a long journey

"I suppose i should bring you back to the capital-"

"Please dont," sera begged. "Take me home if anywhere. Home is storms end."

"Is it always this stormy?"

"You can stay the night." Sera offered. "Im sure your mother wouldnt mind. Besides you still have to convince my father to stick to old vows." Luke smiled nodding. Anything to stay with her longer. "What do you say renly?" He giggled blowing bubbles with his little tongue. "I think he agrees."

Luke turned them about and the clouds got darker and rain drops hit them gently befote they landed and a downpour of rain came down upon them drenching them. Renly clapped reaching for the raindrops while luke shivered looking to a sopping wet seraphine. A smile still covering her face.

"Come on." She grabbed his hand pulling him back inside. Luke glanced back at his dragon as thunder boomed and lightning struck across the sky. "You are safe with me my prince Lucerys."
