my once sane heart cicero x listener

i would never betray

morning​ came and i was sleeping on the ground with my head resting on cicero's lap, we slept in the storage room in the inn. because some dark elf that had ''wind'' in her name just had to sleep in a actual bed..i don't mind elves but i mind my sleep.

I got up and stretched my arms, I look behind me and see Cicero layed back with his hands behind his head, if it weren't for his jester outfit he'd look normal. I stare at his face for awhile, and eventually he waves.

"Cicero to jane? Are you okay?"

"Yeah...Just thinking"

"About what?" He grins

"None of your business" I say puting my hands on my hips

"Is it about me?''

"...We should go" I say leaving the room

I walk out and tip the bartender. Why was Cicero acting...Normal? I walk up to the building of the companions, Cicero was beside me humming like himself again. I walk to the back and see her sitting with a stick in one hand and a dagger in the other

"Yo yo! Dana! DNA!"

"Jane! Weirdo!"

She runs and hugs me then fist bumps Cicero

"So what's the power couple been up to?"

"Dana!"

"Haha, joking. But you guys never told me how you met back up"

We find somewhere no one can hear us and I tell the story

"Ugh I want to sit down, Cicero sit down so I can sit in your lap."

"You never change" Dana mumbles

He sits down and I sit in his lap, he wraps his arm around me.

"So how's everything going?"

"Good"

"Have you guys been flirting as much as you used two?"

"Oh yes! Haha more it seem!" Cicero chuckles

I turn to him and give him a death glare and he laughs

"I'm kidding!"

"I'll get you back Cicero"

He laughs and sets his chin on my shoulder, we all talk about the old times and the new times when kodlak showed up saying that she needed to assist the orc dov-ma or whatever on a mission cause dov-ma was upset with the death of skyor and Farkas only was able to calm her down a bit.

"Well I'll catch you two crazys later"

We part ways and head back to santuary

Two days later

"Jane! We need to talk it's urgent" Astrid claims

"Oh let me guess, Cicero is getting on your nerves?"

"Yes..But not like that...He's been locking himself in the night mother's chamber and talking..To someone, what are they planning? I fear treachery"

"Or do you fear not having power? Astrid he talks to himself all the time! Even before he was mad"

"No! You have to do something about this, go in there and hide in the night mother's coffin!"

"Are you stupid?! One, ew. two, what if he finds me?"

"You'll think of something, he trusts you Jane..Maybe even loves you, use that and say you was playing hide and seek"

"No..No! Your crazy, I'm not turning his trust against him!"

"If you don't do this you will leave and Cicero!"

"Fine..."

"Good, now hurry off and report to me"

"..By the way he doesn't love me!" I yell back

"Silly kid"

I walk in and look at the night mother's coffin, I open it up and gag.

"I'm sorry Cicero" I whisper before jumping in and closing the door

I hear him walk in shortly humming to himself and I frown thinking about hurting his feelings.

"Are we alone? Yes..yes..Alone. sweet solitude, no one will hear us, disturb us! Everything is going as planned. The others...I've spoken to them, and they're coming around I know it. The wizard, festus krex.. Perhaps even the argonian, and the.. Unchild..What about you mm? Have you...Have you spoken to anyone yet? No..No, of course not! I do the talking, the stalking, the seeing and saying! And do you do mm?! Nothing! Not..Not that I'm angry! No, never! Cicero understands. Heh. Cicero always understands! And obeys! You will talk when you're ready won't you? Won't you?!...Heh, might not want to be to loud or pretty Jane might get worried about me! She worry's to much for poor Cicero!" He says making my heart drop and making me want to hug him

"Poor Cicero, sweet poor Cicero..He so dearly wishes to hear my voice, but he cannot for he is not listener...Talk to amuand vontier in vallunrood, except his contract and do as he says..Tell Cicero darkness rises when silence dies"

I gasp and he opens the door causing me to talk out I back away from him and the night mother's coffin horrified of what next was to come

"Jane! What were you doing?!"

"She spoke to me.." I whisper to myself

"What?! She spoke to you?...lies! All lies! Is this your way of getting back at poor Cicero?! Tell me Jane why you betrayed me!" He says taking his dagger out

"Cicero! I would never betray..You, please trust me!" I say puting my hands up

"Make me believe I can trust you!"

"Darkness rises when silence dies!" I shout bracing for a knife to stab me

"But those are the words! The binding words! She back! Our Lady is back and she has chosen a listener!" He starts dancing and singing

"Stand back fool! Whatever it is your up to its over!" Astrid yells

"What do you mean!?"

"We know you've been talking to someone! Step out traiter!"

"I haven't talk to anyone but the night mother, but she didn't speak to me! Oh no, she spoke to Jane our new listener!" He says picking me up

"Stop! Your saying she spoke..To jane?"

"Yeah" I say

"What else did she say?"

I tell her what the night mother said and ask her if I should go or not and she screams no that she needed to think, she leaves and I feel someone hug me super

"Cicero your hurting me!"

"Oh sorry..I'm so happy! We finally have a listener! And it's you!"

"I guess it will be team Cicero and Jane forever.." I say referencing to when we first met

"You remember that?"

"Of course! All those years that's what ringed in my head when I thought of you"

He smiles and kisses my cheek then laughs

"Is Jane getting mushy?! Well I can get mushy two!" He says laughing

"Silly boy, c'mon I'm tired..And I bet you are two"

We head to his room until he stops and turns to me

"Did you hear the last part when you were hanging with the night mother?" He asks hesitantly

"About you calling me pretty? Or about me worrying too much? By the way, it's my job to worry about you"

"I don't like Jane worrying about me! You had to worried about me for seven years..And you worry about your dad..I just want you to be happy.." I smile kiss him on his cheek

"Now who's mushy?" I say running off and having him run after me
