Woof
Jump,
Sit,
Roll Over,
Play Dead,
He was surprised she hadn't stuck a collar around his neck and made him walk around on his hands and knees. Okay, so the tasks were not as mocking as say that, but gods there was a lot of them. Since they arrived, she hadn't given him a moment to relax. He hated that he didn't push himself to win, as she laughed at his expense when she called out another task that needed completing. He was already thinking of tasks and challenges to do next while trying to figure out how to get her back in the process. Jon knew pretty quickly she was enjoying it, being all bossy, making him do whatever she wanted and admittedly he did let his mind wander… It couldn't be helped, no really it couldn't… Thankfully when the camp was more or less set to rights she allowed him to have a break though didn't let him sit with everyone by camp, no she made him sit halfway between their tent and the fire like a naughty child. He wasn't sure what the deal was, but he laid in the grass looking up the sky giving himself a rest before she had something else for him to do. It didn't take long; Dany was stood over him with a tent sleeve in her hand, a small smile on her face as she looked down at him.
"You had another tent this whole time?" he wasn't sure how to feel about that and watched her carefully as the smile disappeared from her lips and she rolled her eyes before dropping the sleeve on his chest.
"It's a rain catcher you arse, though I suppose it is in my power to make you sleep out here if I wanted to,"
"You wouldn't dare,"
"Do you really going to dare me?"
"What do you want me to do with this?"
"I don't know, shove it up your arse, what do you think you're supposed to do with it?"
"Okay," he climbed to his feet turning around and heading for the other tents, grabbing the instruction of the packet so he could figure out how it worked without breaking it, or more importantly smashing it like he wanted to. It was a sleeve full of small filters that connected to the rain tarps; it filtered the rain and stops anything from getting inside so they could replenish their water during the night. They weren't hard to fit, but he needed tape to make sure the empty bottles stayed connected. Turning back on himself he nearly ran straight into Daenerys, jumping slightly
"You following me?" he asked glancing around for anyone else, it was just the two of them. He thought she went back to the fire with everyone else.
"Someone has to make sure you do it properly,"
"You could just do it yourself,"
"Why would I do it, when I have you to do it for me?" he couldn't help but laugh at the implication as she blushed, and they headed back to the tent for the tape. It thankfully didn't take too long to get the rain catchers up before he was heading back to the tent on her orders, to unroll their sleeping bags, noting that they had the same brand just in different colours. The bags were placed relatively close to each other despite the size of her tent, he half expected her to make him stay at the opposite side of the tent with a wall of their things between them. There was also the fact that her tent could be divided into three rooms, so he was surprised they were closer. He wasn't complaining though…
Weird, she was being weird, shy almost as they headed back to the campfire in time to watch everyone fussing over the grill. Well, Arya was focusing on the meat, Margery on the vegetables with Missandei hovering over them with the spices. It seemed each of the couples had claimed one of four logs around the fire so his designated seat was next to Dany's, he was sure he was pissing her off by now so he dragged the guys away for a little keep it up with the football. Chasing the ball, fighting to keep it off the ground, heading, chest control he got lost in the game with the threat of whoever dropped it was going in the lake. One way or another…
"Joooooon," he closed his eyes as they guys laughed, kicking the ball specifically hard towards Robb who unfortunately controlled it well enough to pass it to Grey. Trudging back over to the camp even the girls were failing to stifle their laughter, this was ridiculous. Dany was grinning like a Cheshire cat as he approached, clearly enjoying this way too much
"How can I help you, your majesty?" he asked focusing on her and trying to figure out how far she was going to take these bloody commands.
"Will you be a doll and get the solar charger from our tent please?" she grinned battering her eyes in innocence. Jon smiled in response, trying to think of a way to annoy her in the process.
"As you ask your grace," he bowed mockingly and headed to their tent where he knew the charger would be trying to think of a way to get her back. Throwing her in the lake was so far the top of the list but he knew at this time it would likely freeze her to death. Grabbing the charger heading back, he handed it over to Marge who quickly began charging her phone. He turned back to Dany sat against the log, "You're pushing it you know,"
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, I'm just more determined to get you back,"
"If you win…"
"When I win," he climbed to his feet turning and starting to head back towards the guys,
"Where are you going, I didn't give you permission to leave,"
"You're joking?"
"Be a good little boy and sit here," he stared at her in disbelief eyes darting to Arya as she burst out laughing at his expense again. Taking a deep breath he slumped down beside her, feeling too much like he was grounded and had to watch his friends play out through the window. Thankfully the food was ready in no time and they sat and ate, spoke about random topics and joked around. It was calming sat out there under the stars before the storm rolled it and it would, they picked possibly the worst week to go camping with Storm Bobby rearing its ugly head. He relaxed enjoying the night waving at Missy and Grey as they were the first to head back to the tent… Everyone knew what they were going to do, hells missy's face lighting up like a Christmas tree all but confirmed it.
"I wonder…" it was a whisper and turning he was surprised at how close she was
"What are you wondering?" he asked mentally preparing himself for another task,
"Do I need to ask you to wrap an arm around me or are you going to take the initiative?" He glanced towards the others noticing Arya laying her head on Gendry's lap while Robb had his arm around Margery with her head on his shoulder. Was she feeling left out?
"You should probably ask…"
"Such an ass," she rolled her eyes and sat up straighter pulling away slightly,
"What, aren't you going to ask?"
"Nope," she shook her head wrapping an arm around herself only he wrapped an arm around her and drew her against him enjoying the way she leaned against him, like all the others around the fire. That's all it was…
"Were you feeling left out?"
"No, it's cold…" she buried deeper against him waving at Arya and Gendry as they climbed up this time Gendry blushing like a maid with Arya Laughing at him,
"You're a softie,"
"You're going to regret that comment," she pulled away to look at him, though not far. Lips millimetres away, the tiny voice in his head wanting to lean forward and kiss her only amplified when he caught her staring at his lips. She turned away before he had the chance and he looked up in time to see the retreating form of Robb and Margery both sneaking off.
"So why am I going to regret that comment?" he asked, she was terribly too smug for his liking as she glanced around the now deserted fire before looking up at him.
"Do you think the woodpile is dwindling?"
"Dany," it was his turn to roll his eyes and she grinned before she leaned back against him.
I'm only joking," everyone else had left to their tents and he couldn't wait any longer. He pulled away slightly before reaching out and cupping her jaw, enjoying the way her tongue swiped across her bottom lip. Pulling her closer, he could feel the warmth of her breath on his face the soft graze of her lips and… she was pulling away…
"Oh that's reminded me, Margery asked for the box of condoms from the top of my bag," There was a retort on his tongue, their nearly kiss somehow reminded her that Margery needed the condoms still he swallowed it with a roll of his eyes and climbed to his feet,
"Anything else?"
"I'm sure I'll think of something," she was way too smiley for his liking, "Go on, off you go," she shooed him with her hands and he tumbled his way to their tent for the box wincing when he realised that he now had to go to Robb and Margery's tent. They'd just practically gone, he had time, right?
