How to be a lesbian in Westeros

Chapter 2: Like a Family

As the sun was setting, Aeriana began to wake up, she opened her eyes and looked at Rhaenys, who was still sleep, with her head on the crotch of her neck, she was tightly hugging Aeriana, as she was afraid that she would leave in her sleep.
-Time to wake up my love- said Aeriana while kissing Rhaenys head.
She began to stir, hugging even tighter to her, she opened her eyes and kissed Aeriana's chest.
-What time is it?
-Past at dusk, why love?
-Because you promised Laena and Laenor to fly with them and their dragons, remember?
-I know, I didn't forget, I just didn't want to wake you and I wanted to enjoy you by my side as you sleep, since we don't have that much opportunities when Corlys is here- she said with sad eyes.
-We will have plenty opportunities for that in the next few weeks, dear, I promise, but the kids missed your company and flying with the two of us.
-You know I love them as if they're mine, but unfortunately they're not, don't you think it is not dangerous for us to spend that much time with them when we're together? they know what we are for each other, don't you think they will tell Corlys someday?
Rhaenys let a deeply exhale, caressed Aerianas cheek and a lightly kiss on her lips.
-My love, I promise that they will never say anything to Corlys, they love their father, yes, but you were always the one who show up every time, their one who stayed always by my side and theirs when Corlys was away, and he always was away, they know that his their father, and they know that amb I their mother, but my love, they know very well that you're not a cousin, or the lover of their mother, they know you as a mom, you're their other mother and they know it very well, so don't worry because they would never betray you or me. Besides, Corlys has his own woman. Now, my love, shall we? I'm sure the kids are waiting for us.
Aeriana smiled and kissed her one more time before they begun dressing themselves preparing for riding their dragons with the kids.

They were flying enjoying the night, the kids happy that their mothers joined them, they knew that Aeriana was not their mother by blood, but she took care of them with Rhaenys their entire life so the blood thing didn't really mattered to them.
Rhaenys approached with Meleys to Aeriana and Meraxes, both watching Laenor and Laena flying with their dragons, enjoying the wind crashing into their faces, feeling the taste of the freedom.
-They look pretty happy
-They always happy when you're around Aeri, love
-You're the only one allowed to call me by that, you know that?
-mmh? is that so? not even Rhaenyra, your niece? or our sons? just me?
-Indeed, after all you're my wife Rhaenys.
-I don't remember you proposing to me or our wedding, and I don't remember having a wedding night-. said chuckling Rhaenys.
-Oh, so now you're making fun of me? You know pretty down well that yes, you're my wife, and since we can't have a good wedding for obvious reasons, you being already married and us being to women, we're married because I say so, besides I know you would asked my hand if it was possible, am I wrong my love?
-No, you're not wrong- she said smiling to her lover.
They pointed out to the kids to land with their dragons, after they their dragons behind, the four of them went to the salon to have dinner together, as a family, what they truly where.

After dinner, Aeriana went with Laena to her room while Rhaenys went with Laenor.
As the two of them entered Laena's room and helped her change to her night ropes.
Aeriana helped her getting into her bed and caressed her cheek.
-I love you so much my sweet girl, have a nice sleep- she said kissing on her forehead.
-I love you mom, you're cousin Aeriana when dad is around, I know that, but you're always mom in my head, even when his here, I hope you know that, and for Laenor too.- she said grabbing her mom's hand
-I know that daughter, don't worry about it, is just that I miss you both deeply when I can be around, and sometimes I feel guilty for staying away, I know that I have no choice and I can't really do nothing, but I want you to know that being away from you, you're brother and your mom is the hardest thing I have to do, now my sweet, time to sleep, it's late.
She closed her daughter's chambers and a few tears scaped her eyes, she yearned for a live with Rhaenys and the kids, she wished for everything to be more easy, but at the end of the day she was the one who had to return to an empty castle, sure she had her servants, even some friends who were also their council, but still the castle was empty, because the persons who she cared most had to stay in Driftmark.

Aeriana moved through the halls of the castle heading towards the beach, she needed to be alone with her thoughts, she loved Rhaenys so much that she would endure this situation, but the reality was that it destroyed her inside and she knew it wasn't Rhaenys's fault, she knew it, but that didn't stop it from hurting her, many times she had wished for the death of the sea snake, she had felt horrible for thinking such a thing, but she couldn't stop wishing for a life with Rhaenys without having Corlys in between.
Rhaenys was in her balcony, waiting for Aeriana's return from Laena's room, she was enjoying the views, she loved living here, more than living in the Red Fortress, but living in Dragonstone with Aeriana one day, that thought was truly a dream.
She kept staring at the distance, appreciating what she had in front of her, while doing so, she saw someone sitting at the edge of the shore, she immediately knew who she was, her beloved Aeriana, and then as if her dragon sensed the emotions of her rider, came flying and descending next to Aeriana, Meraxes laid down next to her, resting her head just behind her so that the back of the woman rested on her head.
Rhaenys watched this scene and thought it was a beautiful and sad scene at the same time, she left the balcony and her chambers knowing well where she was going, she approached the sand of the sand and begun walking to where Aeriana and Meraxes were, once she was close, Meraxes turned her head towards her, nodding her head, the dragon stood up nudged Aeriana's shoulder as a way of saying she was leaving and then she rose up to the sky.
-It's freezing here Aeriana, come inside with me, please.
-It's okay, get going I will be just behind you, I just needed a minute alone.
-Please just come inside with me, and perhaps we can talk about what is disturbing you so much that your dragon sensed your emotions and came with you, what's overwhelming that precious brain of yours? It's everything okay with Laena?
-Laena is okay, she's amazing, we had a chat, she said lovely things to me, and when I left her room a cried a little, and I came here, that's it.
-I know there's something else love, if it were happy tears why are you like this? you look sad and Meraxes comforted you, so there's something else, but I understand that maybe you don't want to talk about it, and I'll allow it for now, now come to my room sonI can make you feel better kissing and cuddling you before sleep, shall we?- she said lifting her hand for her to take.
Aeriana smiled to Rhaenys, how could she say no to anything that woman asked to her? she would never deny anything to Rhaenys, maybe she wasn't the queen of the seven kingdoms, but surely she was her Queen.
She taked her hand and both left the shore to their chambers.
