Renegade// Criston Cole / Davina Targaryen

22. Ditto

Davina pushed Criston from her mind, she did love him but she didnt like this. 

She had to push him from her mind because it was Aemond's fifth name day and he was getting a dragon, they were going to try. 

Aemond hid from Vermithor. Silverwing was in hiding and the stupid ghost screamed at them nearly making them go deaf before flying off. 

"Bad name day?" Davina questioned as they leaned against Fury. 

"Good name day." Aemond assured. "We can try again... Vermithor is scary." 

"He's a bit scary." she agreed. "Maybe fury gives us a little fury one day and you and him can be the best of friends." 

Anytime there was a new dragon egg Davina claimed it. Gave it to Aemond and he tended to his eggs with pride and joy until they didnt hatch and davina wanted to scream. He deserved the world and the world was depriving him of the one thing he wanted. 

Luckily Fury loved Aemond and always wanted him to ride as well. Davina couldnt say that for anyone else. 

"Where is Ser Criston?" Aemond asked. 

"He is..." being a whiney baby because I dont know how to love anyone that is not you my sweet baby boy. "sick." 

"Oh." Aemond answered before climbing up onto Fury. "Can we play in the sky more mama?"

"Yeah, that sounds perfect." Davina agreed. Aemond didnt want a party, he wanted his mama and dragons and cake at the end of the day. Davina realized she wanted Criston here for all of this though. She hated that he wasnt here. Aemond found a gift on his bed that night and held it up for Davina to see. 

"It's from Cole!" He declared pulling out the training sword, a dragon on the hilt of the dull edged blade. 

"Thats really sweet of him." Davina agreed. "I wish he was here." Kissing her boy goodnight he couldnt wait for tomorrow so he could train with his new blade in the morning. 

It was four days, Davina was being damn patient with Criston's little meltdown melodrama but that was enough.

"Boys." Davina remarked and the knights rose up, they had bunks within the castle, a corridor just for the knights and guards on the lower level. Some were in a state of undress as Davina marched by. "Where is Cole moping around?" Davina pondered as she moved.

"Last bed on the right end of the hall."

"Thank you." Davina agreed and she pushed open the door kicking it closed behind him.

"Davina-" Criston stood up straightening his shirt confused. "What are you-"

"But I love you and it scares me because the last man I loved hurt me." Davina declared and she didn't break eye contact as she got closer. "BUT I'm a mess and if you don't hurt me I will hurt you in the end or is now the end... because you hurt me and I hurt you..." davina felt tears in her eyes and she hated that she was being this vulnerable and she couldnt stop it. "but I didn't mean to Criston." Davina begged. He choked out a breath as he closed the distance between them. "It's been four days are you done being a pissy little baby about this?" Davina demanded.

"Wow, that was some apology." Criston agreed.

"Come on it smells awful down here." Davina begged. "Forgive me and stop being an ass." she pleaded tugging on his shirt. 

"I love you." Criston repeated. 

"Dont make me say it again." Davina teased. 

"I need to hear it on repeat." Criston corrected. "I love you." 

"Ditto."
