my once sane heart cicero x listener

quest

I lay down on my pallet and close my eyes covered up..

"Oh my divines it's cold in here..wait where's my blanket?"

I look up to see Cicero peacefully asleep with TWO blankets, I try pulling MY blanket to me but he clutches it

"Stoooop, it's coooolllld" he mumbles

"Cicero I need my blanket"

"G-get you're own sweetrole.." He turns over

"CICERO!!" I hit him with a pillow

He shoots up with his hair all a mess and tired eyes with a hint of confusion

"What was that for!?"

"You took my blanket!"

He looks down at his torso then starts laughing and falls back covering his face with his hands, I stand there wondering what he is laughing about

"Should I go get astrid or...?" I point towards the door way

"It's just like when we were kids, I would steal my brothers blanket and he would hit poor Cicero's head with a pillow...oh I miss the old days~" he then all a sudden looks a little upset

I sit beside him and rub his back, he looks up at me with watery eyes

"I..I'm sorry about your mom and brother, Cicero"

"I just wish I could've helped her..or could of convince my brother to let me stay..."

"I know it's hard without your parent"

"But there is one good thing I guess.."

"Whats that cic?"

"I got to meet you" he smiles and we keep eye contact for a minute

I hug him and he hugs me back really, really tight

"Okay one, you're crushing my ribs. Two, I'd like my blanket back" he laughs then let's go of me

"You can sleep in my bed for the rest of the night, Cicero needs to take a walk" he stands up and ruffles my hair as if I was a child

He goes to grab his hat but I take it and he looks at me confused

"You look better without it"

"And you look better without makeup..but you wear it" he leans down smiling then grabs his hat and puts it on, he smiles and backs away

"Goodnight, Jane~"

"Night, cic"

I lay down and close my eyes. A couple hours later I wake up to a voice whispering to me

"Jane~ did you sleep well?"

I nod my head and bury my head in the pillow

"Haha, you have to get up, for breakfast!"

"No...twenty more minutes?"

"Now, now Jane~ either I'm carrying you or you get up?!"

"Carry me please"

He leans over and scoops me up then starts walking, being careful to not drop me. He walked into the dinner room, everyone looked at us weirdly..probably because I was almost all the way asleep. He used his foot to scoot the chair out and sit me down in it, he sat down and I leaned my head on his shoulder then grabbed the fork and cut into my eggs and bring it to my mouth, taking a bite Cicero yawns then puts his arm around me to keep me propped up

"Come on Cicero, even Martin septim did that to his wife! That was two hundred years ago!" Babbette yells almost laughing

"How would you know Babbette?"
