"Winter is coming."
Everyone looked around at one another. Some of them were new here so they did not know what the man with long dark locks was talking about. How winter was the season you dreaded the most. How you have seen so many men die beyond the wall and even behind it due to white walkers.
Nothing seemed right, especially after you lost your friend. His name was Jordan Peach and he was the only man beyond the wall that knew of your secret. That secret being that you were pretending to be a man in order to gain experience and the fact that your house had wanted rid of you and so the only thing left to do was cut off all your hair and bind your breasts and hope that The Wall would take you and of course, they did. When they asked for your name you had no choice but to think of the first name that popped into your head, which was James.
And now you were sitting at the top table next to Jon Snow. He had put you as his second in command, which you honestly thought would've gone to Sam but Sam didn't seem to mind and neither did the rest of Jon's friends. However, you always knew deep down that Jon did this to challenge you because from day one you knew he didn't trust you, not like he does his other friends behind The Wall. You had always thought that he had perhaps caught on to the 'I'm a man' scenario but you were sure that if that was the case you would've been hung by now and as you still knew it, you were alive.
"Jim? Did you hear me? Grab the swords." Snow spoke. He was a very good leader and knew what he was doing and you'd been here for just over 2 years, so you knew the nice ones from the bad.
"Of course, sorry Snow." Raising from the table within Castle Black you began to walk down the stairs into the centre where you saw the new lads coming for the training as they probably didn't know a thing about swords. It made you laugh to say that you were a women and you could handle a sword better than any of these.
You collected the swords and walked back over to the new new batch of boys and they were boys in deed. All of them virgins, timid and feeling alone. "Lads, I'm James. James Sykes to you. I am the second in command to Jon Snow. The lord commander." All of the boys listening and waiting for the next thing you were about to say and you thought how amazing this situation was because if you were a women, they would laugh.
Jon Snow then emerged from the shadows and you walked to one side as Jon patted you on the back with a harsh force, "Thanks."
You were now used to the roughness of men due to the long stay at The Wall and residing inside the walls of Castle Black. You had even set a time for yourself to get changed for when you slept, which was rarely ever but when you did you knew exactly when it would be free and without disturbance. When you told Jordan for the first time he didn't seem happy but you had grown to like each other so much so that there was a romance blooming and that's why you took his death so hard.
Sam had noticed and he then went and told Snow. He instantly assumed you were homosexual but he didn't seem to care all that much like he said, 'We have more pressing matters to attend too.' It still makes you laugh today to think that he actually thinks you are homosexual and especially when all you are surrounded by are men, it makes you wonder how much he truly knows about you.
As you focused on the sun you realised you only had a few hours of sunlight left so you went to sharpen a few of the swords for tomorrow's venture outside.
-
The darkness was coming slowly and this was the time you usually went up into the rooms to get changed. You weren't on watch tonight with any of the other men that resided here so you would be able to sleep. Just as you were walking into the room Jon was there, sat on his bed, looking over at you and you heart stopped.
"How did the sharpening of the swords go?" He asked as he stood up and towered over you. One factor of not being an actual man, being a small 'man' and I mean you weren't as small as Tyrion from House Lannister but you were small to be a normal 'man'.
"Fine, Lord Commander." You replied as you walked past him, "Any Ale?" You hated the taste of it but you had to blend in.
"We are out. Better get the lads to make some more tomorrow." Jon then proceeded to lean against the table within Castle Black. "You feeling alright?"
You turned to face him with confusion on your face, "Sorry, Snow?"
"It's just for as long as I can remember you've been going up at this hour. You seem to have timed it just perfectly before the rest of us get up here. It's either you lay with men or it's something else."
You were taken back and turned back around, "The l-latter, m'lord, of course."
"Something else?" He paused and walked over to you, standing very close behind you. "What's your big secret? Who are you?"
You stayed still. You couldn't breathe nor swallow. It was as if the oxygen from the room was taken and the only air that was left was the Lord Commander's breathe.
"Who are you?" He grabbed your shoulders this time and spun you around, "You either tell me or I hang you at first light."
Trying to gain your composure you managed to say, "You will hang me anyway."
"Say it then!" All you could see through Jon Snow's body was frustration and confusion. "Who the fucking hell are you?"
Everything happened in slow motion, or so it seemed. You got free of his tight hold and began to undress yourself, first pulling down your trousers and then taking off your top to then reveal your binder. You did not imagine this is how you would reveal yourself to the Night's Watch. The people you had become friends with, ally's with and family with and now everything had gone from good to bad in an instant.
You took off the rest of your garments and stood there with a bruised chest and a frozen body. "Is this what you wanted?"
Jon said nothing.
"I'm of House Bolton. Roose Bolton is my Uncle."
Again, he said nothing. You knew this was bad to tell him who you truly were because just the name sets the Starks off and you knew Jon Snow to be Ned Starks Bastard son.
"I was chucked out. I had no other choice."
And after what seemed like a lifetime... "Put on your clothes." That was his response to all of this. "PUT ON YOUR FUCKING CLOTHES, JIM!" He chucked them at you and walked off out of the room. You were left to get changed into your sleepwear absolutely shocked at what just happened.
-
It was a week after the incident and Jon was acting normal with you. Everyone was acting normal with you. It was as if nothing happened between you and Jon and that Jon didn't then go and tell everyone man of the Night's Watch.
For months and months it carried on like this, not a word. Still the second in command to him. That was until the army of the dead decided to attack and many people died and in that moment of terror something insane happened.
"You never told me who you were" Snow shouted over the commotion as he tried to fight for his life and as did you.
"WHAT?" You shouted and that's when he grabbed your arm and dragged you behind the pole, still on the look out.
"I said, you never told me who you were." Jon Snow stated again.
"Y/N Bolton, Lord Commander."
"Well Y/N Bolton, it's a pleasure." He replied.
