You're Losing Me / Ned Stark / Sandor Clegane

7. Just a Friend

"Morning." Sofia said as Ned kissed her cheek.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Oh yes sorry. I just got really tired." Sofia answered. "Could you show me the tree today?"

"I will show you." Bran declared grabbing her hand. "Its weird. Trees shouldnt have faces. And the leaves look like hands!"

"Sounds cool to me." Sofia countered her feet crunshing through the snow. Goose flesh rippled her arms as they moved. She ran her hands over her black long sleeved dress the yellow detailing traced elegantly around the bodice.

Ned wrapped his cloak around her keeping his hand around her waist as they walked. She wrapped her arm around him as well cold fingers slipped under his shirt sending a little shiver through his spine.

"You and little nessa are adorable together." Ned whispered as they walked.

"I always wanted children." Sofia added. "She is so perfect at times i wish she was mine."

"You can take any of my children whenever you please." Ned assured. "They certainly like you enough."

"Come on Sofia!" Bran declared pulling her hand and Ned reluctantly let her go as she chased after bran.

"Why are you... so..." tyanna cocked her head up at sandor. "You are more grumbly and scowlier than usual."

"I don't think that's a word." Sandor countered blandly.

"Come on tell me," she purred tracing a hand down his large muscled arm. His eyes watched her fingers intently. Imaging where those fingers could drift could grip Could stroke. Sandor had to pull his eyes away. It was with much difficulty but if he kept watching her he would get hard and he would have a harder time at not pulling tyanna aside and fucking here rough against the wall.

"Daddy!" Nessa declared. His pants felt looser already as he turned his focus on Nessa, one more moment of Tyanna touching him like that and he was sure his pants would have ripped open.

"Hey baby," Sandor whispered scooping her up. "You with Sofia?"

"No she was with mr Ned again, they were in the woods but I dont have a cloak like her, Daddy I need a cloak, this one is too cold." Nessa informed him.

"Cloak like Sofia?"

"Can I have one with a woof woof on it too?" Nessa agreed snuggling into him. Sandor understood and Tyanna understood why Sandor was in a mood.

"You two are just friends and he's married, unless one part of that statement is incorrect." Tyanna purred walking off.

"You are so annoying tya." Sofia called after her.

"Yet you love me." Tyanna declared chasing after her. "How was your time with ned?"

"How did you know-"

"Nessa told sandor you should have seen his face when he found out you were with sexy stark." Tyanna declared.

"Sandor is just my friend-"

"You keep saying that but he looked muderous." Tyanna purred.

"What? Why?"

"Because he wants to shove his thick cock in you."

"Tyanna!"

"You enjoying the north?" Robert questioned his little sister.

"Oh yes, I love it here." Sofia agreed. "I love seeing ned and the children!"

"Mainly Ned though." Robert chuckled looking to Ned as he wrapped an arm around Sofia. Robert only saw what he wanted to see, that Ned loved SOfia like a little sister, like Robert loved his baby sister, not how Ned actually saw her.

"It's bloody freezing up here, you are going to love the south Ned."

"I'm going to love being with Sofia, she is going to help me survive you full time." Ned corrected kissing her temple.

"Yeah, yeah, excuse me Ned I gotta take a shit before our hunt." Robert remarked heading off.

"Lovely." Sofia murmured.

"What would you like?" Ned pondered moving Sofia to the buffet table. "Coffee? Tea? Me?"

Was it dreadfully awful to say him? He asked. But what if he was joking. Suely he was. Sofias heart seemed to flutter but it was her chest not remembering how to breathe so she ended up choking for breath instead. He offered her water.

"Thanks," she croaked out.

"Of course." Ned assured kisssing her temple. Sofias heart ached. Or maybe it wasnt her heart. Lower perhaps.

"Daddy, what's wrong? You gotta poop?" Nessa questioned. Sandor glanced down at her.

"What?"

"You are making the i gotta poop face." Nessa explained. Sandor scowled. "Now you are making your stay away from my baby girl face." Sandors face softened as she smiled up at him. "Theres my daddy!"

"You goof."

"You are going to love the capital and i will take the girls under my wing. Tya and i. They will be in great hands!" Sofia declared

"I have no doubt with you looking out for them they will become amazing young women."

"Oh ned with you as a father they already are. I was speaking with bran. He was telling me all the knights names and rank. Is he coming south to? Rickon and little nessa were bonding as well- oh ned could you imagine one day if they fell in love?"

"They are children come on now fia," ned chuckled kissing her cheek.

"Get ready boys to hunt some boar!" Robert shouted out.

"Be careful my brother isn't as good of a shot as he used to be." Sofia warned as Ned pulled him along.

"Says you." Robert scoffed.

"Fia! Fia!" Nessa came running up. "Daddy is going on a hunt. Can we play?"

"Yes we can." Sofia agreed scooping her up. "Be careful sandor."

"You worried about me?"

"You are my best friend and between my brother and my nephew i worry for everyone safety on this hunt." He nodded to her. "Say bye daddy."

"Bye daddy!" Nessa waved wildly back at him. "Okay fia, let's go track down those puppies!"
