"There, there... Don't cry anymore" Jon stuck his leg into Arianne's face and waited, tears in his eyes. She pulled his trousers up, revealing a fresh bruise on his right knee.
"Okay, you hurt anywhere else?". Jon considered, then rolled up his sleeve and folded his right arm in half, displaying a scrape on his elbow.
"I hit it when I fell".
Arianne sighed and turned to the first aid kit, pulling out antiseptic wipe and a box of bandaids. She cleaned the scrape and crossed two bandaids over it, smoothing them carefully so they wouldn't stick to the abrasion. She repeated the process with the knee bruise, not aware of the black eyes fixated on her.
After a day in school, Jon had gone back home. His brother Aegon and him were bored so they started playing football in the house's backyard. Unfortunately, Jon fell after stepping up on the ball, and he found himself on the ground. As a normal six-year-old kid, Jon started crying. Luckily for him, Arianne, who had returned with them to visit her aunt Elia, was there.
Jon had the biggest crush on Arianne a kid could have. For him, she wasn't only his cousin. He liked her a lot, in fact, Rhaenys had sometimes joked about how he followed her like a cub would or how he would act shy and cute when he wanted her attention.
So, having her treating his wounds had Jon completely bewitched. He had his mouth shut as her beautiful olive-skinned cousin worked.
Arianne stood up when she was done. She waited patiently, but when Jon didn't say anything, she laughed, pointing to her cheek.
Jon blushed, but happily complied to her silent request. He leaned over and gently kissed Arianne's side.
"You are such a sweet boy! C'mon, let's get back to the yard. Aegon surely is waiting for you".
Jon happily played all evening with Aegon, still hurting a bit, but with a small smile in his mind.
