Jon Snow Imagines

Ghost

When Jon first started sending Ghost to follow you it had almost been sweet, the tiny albino puppy growling at anyone who dared approached you in an unsavoury manner, however this continued until his ears were level with your shoulders.

You could never get Jon to make the Dire-wolf to leave you alone, he'd always mumble something about not controlling him all the time, which meant you had to put up with the giant protector.

"Hello Ghost." You hummed when you felt the familiar snout nuzzle into your hand. He made a low whine in response and followed you as you collected baskets of food and jugs of wine to take to the main hall.

With Ghost leading the way to the Winterfell halls people scattered to get out of your way. Once you reached the hall you set down your heavy load, handing wine off to the handmaidens that were waiting for you.

"What took you so bloody long?" One of the cooks asked as you set down the last basket of food. "Keep that giant beast out of here" She hissed once she looked up and saw your usual companion.

"Sorry, he's more watchful than usual." You mumble quietly. The loud woman huffs and motions several other cooks to help her with what you'd delivered.

"Well at any rate I need you to go to the trappers for more meat." She said waving her arm to dismiss you.

You hurried back through the halls, wondering what it would be like to be a handmaiden or a high born Lady, the ever-present click clack of Ghost's claws on the floor behind you bouncing around the hall. You slipped between two lords having a loud discussion about something in Kings Landing, slipping through a side door, and finally losing the huge wolf.

"(Y/N)?" A deep voice called out. You thanked the trapper and told him that the Starks' would pay him at the end of the month, heading back towards the main path to see who was calling you.

"Ghost will you stop it!" You scolded when the wolf hurried out of the woods and moved towards you until you were forced to back against a nearby hut.

"Ghost come back we need to find (Y/N)." Jon emerged from the same spot as Ghost and stopped when he saw you scolding the wolf. "Ghost come here."

Jon didn't look you in the eye, his hair falling in his face as he motioned for the Dire-Wolf over to his side, you huffed at him when he held out a hand offering to help carry some of your load.

"You should train him better, spends more time with me than you." You said rudely making Jon mutter apologies. "Why are you even out here looking for me shouldn't you be in the castle."

"Ghost was worried." Jon spluttered after you refused to hand over your load yet again and settled for following you closely.

"The wolf was worried." You repeated giving him a dubious look. Ghost stopped and whined at Jon who had fallen behind, he glanced at you again and hurried to catch up to you, stumbling and shuffling in his hurry.

"Why couldn't he be worried you looked after him for a week when I lost him." Jon said quickly.

"He was only a few days old." You chuckled.

"It's not safe outside Winterfell, even if it's only a few miles." Jon rubbed between Ghost's ears. "It's not safe anywhere these days, it's why I tell Ghost to follow you."

His eyes widened when you frowned, turned to him and eyed him curiously, after a few seconds he shook his head and continued to hurry back toward the huge gates of Winterfell.

"You said that you can't stop him from following me." You frowned at Ghost who snorted and shook his head.

"Well... I ... um." Jon started trying to explain and gave up. "He won't leave you alone now, he's been following you for far too long."

"Well how do I teach him to stay out of the kitchens?" You asked with a faint smile.

"I'll show you if you like." Jon offered as you both came to the gates and waited for a guard to let you back in. You nodded and thanked him for the offer before hurrying towards the kitchens.
