Jon & Daenerys - Forbidden Love

Her fire to his Ice - Part 1

The boat is gliding through the water as the queen, the king in the north and all others are sailing for Winterfell. The threat of the white walkers is near and they all need to be ready. Standing outside, Jon ignores the aggressive wind and rain threatening to release the black curls that were once lying beside his cheeks. The rain pours harder as Jon thinks about seeing his family again- well what's left...Sansa, Bran and...Arya. A smile creeps upon his face as he thinks of his cute little sister. How has she changed in the last couple of years? Was she a lady like Her mother wanted her to be? Or was she a swordswoman? He hoped she was happy and hadn't been through what Sansa had gone through. But...arya was special. She didn't care that he was a bastard, he was still her brother. In her eyes, he always felt like a stark. He hoped she'd changed. He was greatful to the queen for supplying them with a ship...he was greatful to her for finally deciding that she could trust him, he knew it wasn't easy for her to put aside her-

A lighting bolt struck down suddenly, taking Jon out from his thoughts. Although he didn't like to admit it, he was beginning to feel colder and colder has the ship sailed closer to the north.

"You shouldn't be up here, it's freezing" a voice said firmly. He turned around and saw Daeneys in her white gown. His heart beat quickened and his face softened as she approached him. He swallowed out of nervousness.

"Thank you, your grace, but I'd much prefer it-"

"But? I don't know if you've noticed but there's a storm out here... my dragons can handle it but I'm not sure if you can...if you'd like you can come and talk in my room..." she said rather shyly and stepped closer to him, waiting to see if he would notice her request. Her hair was now soaked with rain....she waited.

"I'm used to it" he said, turning away from her. No. he didn't understand. She ruffled her eyebrows. Had he even been with women before? Or maybe...he didn't fancy her in that way. She swallowed hard. 'How silly of you Daenerys' she whispered to herself and cursed several times. She then remembered what he had said, about being used to the cold. She noticed the twitch in his eye and the shaking of his body. Was he afraid?  She turned to him, puzzled while taking hold of the boat rails just as he was.

"Or is it because your troubled?" She asked curiously. This snapped him out of his thoughts once again.

"Me? No- I-"

"Please. One would be mad not to be afraid at this point"

"Your grace?"

She closed her eyes and nodded.

"Of course I'm afraid...Iv been afraid this whole time but do I let that consume me? No. I push my feelings aside as queens should do for their people" she said almost as if he wasn't there at all. "All these people are relying on me...all these people want to kill me because of the actions that my father committed..." she turned to look at him and he stayed silent and listened while staring in her eyes as the rain soaked her dress until it was see through but he found himself interested in what she had to say, he was intrigued at how strong she was, how her almost purple eyes sparked against the moon light.

"It was hard, it really was, becoming the person I was today. I was a scared little girl, beaten by my brother, raped...lost a husband....and....a child..."

He was completely listening now.

"You lost a child?" He asked softly.
"I'm sorry-"

"Don't be, it's on the past now"

He nodded and summoned the courage to speak. " You know I....I know how you feel about being alone in the world" he suddenly said. She directed her gaze to him.

"Oh?" She questioned curiously.

"Being bastard hasn't been easily, it's almost like I had no family at all, don't get me wrong, they fed me, gave me clothes....but I wasn't allowed to play with my siblings, or engage in family conversations, I wasn't allowed to join in at the dinner table because she forbade it...I was a parasite in her eyes, a parasite that was a mistake, who had corrupted and sucked all the light out of her life...every day she would look at me and I knew she pictured my father with another woman......anyway, I would only see my sister Arya and brothers Rob, Bran and Rickon in secret really when she wasn't looking. Sansa, well, she refused to be around me anyway....father was out doing his duty so he wasn't really around much...but...you know...it's only really then i joined the nights watch where for the first time I thought I had belonged, with my friend Samwell Tarly"
