Castles Crumbling / Helaena Targaryen/ Taelon Targaryen

22. Boys Night

The Prophecy / Aegon Targaryen out now!

Otto was not in charge and every moon that passed he had the great hall ready for a celebration, of course he didnt get what he wanted. Viserys was in no hurry. Taelon was a good man and wanted to do right by helaena.

"What are you drawing?"

Helaena stared back at taelon putting down the charcoal

"I draw too."

"I know." Helaena answered. 

"Whats that?" Taelon looked at a woman in the flames at a man with a head of a wolf. A raven with three eyed. They were dark. 

"My dreams." She whispered. 

"Dreams?" Taelon repeated. She nodded wiping her hands off. 

"I made these for the boys." Helaena added holding out the newly embroidered shirts. 

"Oh wow, thats amazing." Taelon whispered touching the stitching delicately. "You are skilled." She smiled touching the fabric. "Those are some dark dreams." She nodded. "Every night?" She nodded again. "Maybe when we are wed they arent so dark anymore." He offered hopefully. 

"I would like that." Helaena agreed. 

"Will I find pleasure in it?" Helaena pondered as her wedding day approached. 

"I never have."  Alicent admitted. "But your father is not anything like taelon. They share blood and parents but taelon is..."

"Don't fantasize about my husband to be." Helaena begged.

"This my job as best friend and best man." Tommen declared. 

"I can look after the boys." Helaena assured coming up behind them. 

"Tom, dont embarrass me." Taelon begged, he kissed the corner of Helaena's lips, she beamed up at him. "Thank you." She nodded wrapping her arms around him. 

"Always, they will be my boys as well one day." helaena reminded him. She got up on her toes and kissed him again. 

The boys headed out and the twins were already put to bed. Helaena got a message saying her grandfather wanted to see her. She kissed the boys goodnight one more time, she couldnt wait for their wedding, to share a bed with Taelon to call these little boys her own. 

"Come in." otto's voice was muffled through the door. "Come in." he demanded louder, Helaena pushed the door open hesitantly. "What?" He demanded. 

"I-I am sorry. I thought I heard a voice but I wasn't sure." Helaena answered. He raised his eyebrows putting his scroll down and leaning back in his chair.

"You weren't sure you heard a voice?" Otto questioned confused

"I mean I heard a voice but I wasn't sure if it was you talking to me." helaena countered.

"Do you have issues with hallucinations, Helaena?"

"Excuse me?"

"Hallucinations. Hearing things in your head. Is that why your union keeps getting pushed." otto demanded. Helaena frowned, feeling offended all of a sudden. Taelon wanted to marry her, he really did. This man and his nasty mouth, her own grandfather.

"No, I don't. I was just" Helaena sucked in a tight breath, she didn't know she didn't know what she wanted. "I was curious grandfather. How did you know I was standing here?"

Otto gave her a pointed look.

"I summoned you, who else would it be?" Otto countered. 

"Did you have to insult his mother?"

"It was an overall mother joke, not typically meant for his mother." TOmmen declared. 

"Well now he wants to beat your ass and his friend wants mine by association." Taelon challenged. 

"And the i'm the prince and heir card wont work here." 

"It never does when you insult someone's mother TOm." Taelon shouted. 

"Soo you want the big one and I will take the little?" Tommen chuckled wiping the spilled ale from his face 

"I was just going to let him do what he wanted but yeah I suppose I should to see my wedding day." Taelon agreed.
