Robb smiled and lent on the door frame as he watched you and Rickon sword fight with wooden swords. Rickon whooped as he almost made you drop the sword and scrambled onto his bed, dogging your retaliation with a wide grin.

"I am not one to ruin my brother's fun but Lady Stark sent me to see how Rickon is settling down for the night." Robb muttered after he cleared his throat.

"My apologies Milord, we got carried away." You blushed and smiled at Robb when he chuckled.

"I won't tell anyone, but he needs to rest we have a big day tomorrow." Robb smiled as you ruffled Rickon's hair and tucked the boy up.

"Good night (Y/N)." Rickon yawned.

"Good night little wolf, sleep peacefully." You hummed and shooed Robb out of the room as you finished fussing over candles and the fire.

Robb stood just outside Rickon's door watching you. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the way you doted on Rickon, want you to treat him the same way, but never getting the nerve to tell you.

"I will go and see Lady Stark now." You mumbled when you almost bumped into Robb who nodded.

"Robb?" Rickon called before Robb could follow you down the hall.

"You are supposed to be sleeping." Robb sighed as he sat on the bed next to his brother.

"Do you love (Y/N)?" Rickon asked and looked up at Robb who let out a deep laugh.

"What makes you think that?" Robb glanced down at Rickon and swallowed nervously as he waited for the boy to answer.

"You look at her how Father looks at Mother." Rickon observed and Robb let a small smile play over his face.

"(Y/N) is a sweet young lady." Robb answered as if he hopped to avoid answering Rickon.

"Will you ask (Y/N) to the hunt with you?" Rickon asked quickly and Robb blushed.

"Rickon I could not do that; you are young so it is acceptable for you to show (Y/N) such favour... to do so would have her accused of things that were not true." Robb sighed.

"Will Mother send her away?" Rickon seemed suddenly nervous and Robb threw his arm around him.

"I cannot say." He tried to keep his face emotionless but Rickon seemed to see straight through him.

"Please do not say anything Robb, please I would not want her sent away." Rickon gripped onto Robb's hand and he nodded reluctantly, he didn't want to have you sent away either.

"You have my word little brother; it stays our secret." Robb sighed out.

"(Y/N)." You hurried forward and curtsied as Catelyn called you over to where she was stood with Bran, Rickon and Arya.

"Yes Milady." You said quickly.

"You are to attend to Rickon and Arya while they are on the hunt with their father, you will see to it that Arya behaves well." She glared at you as she did any other handmaiden who was close to the family but her tone held a softens that she often used behind closed doors while addressing you.

"I shall be sure to remind Lord Stark that Arya is to behave as a young lady should." You muttered and she smiled.

"Thank you (Y/N)." You curtsied before shooing the youngest Stark children from the castle.

The hunt went on without anything particularly interesting going on. Rickon seemed to be the only one to notice Robb's jealous glances as he watched you and Theon talk quietly to each other. He was beginning to doubt that he could keep his promise to Rickon.

"Little wolf if your mother finds out you are still awake I shall have no end of troubles." You giggled as the boy rambled on happily.

"But I almost caught the buck all by myself." Rickon declared loudly enough for you to shush him.

A sleepy looking Robb shuffled in from his room next to Rickon's and frowned at you both without saying anything as if silently asking why you were being so loud.

"You see, if you do not go to bed this time I shall end up tucking in the entire castle." You said through a laugh.

"I do not think you have enough story's for that." Rickon said as he let you tug the blankets back and settle him against his pillows.

"I imagine I would have to borrow some tall tales from Arya." You chuckled and smiled when Rickon kissed your cheek.

"Will you tuck in Robb?" Rickon asked as you blew out the candles and made sure Rickon's fire would last until it got light.

"He may well need me to help him to his room." You hummed as you stopped in front of the sleepy man who was falling asleep as he lent against the wall.

"I promise I will not get up again." Rickon yawned.

You nodded as Robb willingly let you take his arm and tug him from Rickon's room to his own. He almost fell when you left him standing unsteadily so you could pull the cover back enough to help him settle into the large bed.

"Goodnight big wolf." You mumbled.
