Game Of Thrones - One-Shots

Jaime Lannister - Together

"How have you survived this your whole life?" Sansa, your niece, asks you. You smile kindly at her, knowing that anyone could be listening. It was something that she hadn't yet learned despite the fact that it was one of the most important parts of being around the Lannisters. 

"As you said, this has been my whole. I was forced to move away from my sisters at such a young age that I have no childhood memories of them. You learn to adapt, to survive. And it's not everyone, there are a few people that are generally good in this world."

"Why were you forced to move away?" You smile kindly at her as you follow the path in the gardens. 

"I was betrothed to Jaime Lannister, and part of the agreement was that I was to live with them so that I could become a proper wife in Lord Lannister's eyes. Someone worthy of the Lannister name. Sometimes it's best to just be a pretty face in a room, as terrible as that sounds. But it's the only way that you can hopefully guaranty your safety."

"I don't want to just be a pretty face. I wasn't made for this life. I thought I was but I'm not." You stop walking and gently tug on her arm to make her stop walking as well. 

"Oh my sweet Sansa, you can not say such things. Even if it's true, and I know it is, saying such things will only cause you more pain if the wrong people hear it and pass it on. You can always come to me, day or night, whenever you need too."

"What about Jaime? Won't he be in your chambers if I come at night?"

"I can force him out of our chambers. We also have to come to an agreement so even if he stays it won't be a problem." You tuck a strand of hair behind her ear gently. "We should get going, it's starting soon and I don't think either of us should be late."

You run back to your chambers, your skirts lifted so you don't trip over them. You don't know whether to be happy or worried about what just happened despite the fact that Sansa seems to be overjoyed with the news. 

You finally arrive at your chambers and rush in, closing the doors quickly behind you. Jaime looks up from his spot on the chair with the golden hand on his lap. 

"Can you believe what just happened in there? And how did you get here before I did?"

"I know all the secret passages, you should know this by now." He puts the golden hand on the table and you make your way over to him, plopping yourself onto his lap. "Do you think this will be a good thing?"

"I don't know. I think in some ways it is a good thing, but he isn't going to just leave her alone now. And I don't think she realizes that." He hums in response, placing a gentle kiss on his lips. "Are you even listening?"

"Yes, but we haven't had a moment to ourselves in far too long."  You giggle, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him close. 

"And if you listen to me, we will be able to enjoy it. After we talk about this." He sighs, pulling away from you slightly. He places his hand on your leg and you feel his other arm somewhat wrapped around your waist. 

"Okay then, let's talk."

"He's still going to mess with her, isn't he?"

"Oh yes. It could be even worse than before. He was supposed to act a certain way to his future wife. Now that he doesn't have to worry about that, who knows what he could do." 

"Do you think we should get her a guard? Or just someone to let us know when something is happening?"

"I think any guard we pay can be paid more by my nephew. Maybe someone to report to us but it's possible that by the time we hear of it it could still be over already." You lean into him even more resting your head on his shoulder. 

"I don't know what to do. I wasn't there for my sister or her kids for the longest time, I feel like I owe it to her."

"I know. It's okay though, we will figure something out together." You lean up and press your lips to his, smiling into it. 

"We can stop now. I know how much you are looking forward to this next part." His almost childlike grin makes you start laughing as you stand up with him following closely behind you and tugging you to the bed.
