Oh, and for those that were a bit confused about last chapter with the dreams, Joe Lawyer figured it out.
Those dreams are supposed to be confusing, they're supposed to be vague. Not even Naruto is supposed to understand what they mean

Chapter 8: A Change of Plans

Joffrey frowned at the news. Well frowned was an easy way to put it. He sipped at his chalice with a dark look on his face. He was recently told of disturbing news. Joffrey wasn't liking the way things were turning out. Ever since his brother decided to be good at fighting, their Father finally decided to care more about their lives, but instead of caring about Joffrey, Robert always yelled at him asking why he wasn't more like Naruto. Joffrey couldn't take it. It has only been three days since Naruto's fall from the tower and to him, Naruto is just a weak fool that can't be good for anything if he let an enemy push him from a tower. He felt that if Naruto could fall from a wall because of lost balance, Naruto didn't deserve anything but the same that Joff was receiving.

Joffrey never once visited his brother while he was asleep; never once caring about his well-being. Hearing Tommen and Myrcella constantly whine and ask when Naruto was going to be alright, angered him. He distinctly heard the Maester say that Naruto was going to live and he distinctly remembered hearing that he'd awoken at least thrice during his time in rest. He clenched his chalice, visibly irritated by the attention his younger, obviously more talented, brother was getting. Joffrey glared at the wall in front of him since there was no one else in the Great Hall. He growled and took another sip of his wine and wrapped his hand around the hilt of his sword. He always believed that calming down was for women and children. Even now, he was getting near to swing his sword at the table. He wanted to relieve his frustration. Above all else, he wanted to go back to the South; this cold and this dreary place called the North, was beginning to get to him.

Sipping at his wine once more, Joffrey placed the chalice down and took a bite of his charred bacon, wondering what broken-minded fool would like bacon as black as this. Joffrey wondered what he would do once he was king. He gripped the bacon in between his thumb and his index finger, staring at the stiff piece of food in front of him. He smirked and decided that as his first Royal Edict, ban blackened bacon. He'll be king, the blond boy surmised. What can anyone do against me? Joffrey thought with his frown turning into a sickening smirk. Better yet, I'll even spite that younger fool, Naruto, in a way that no one can imagine. I want him to suffer the way that I'm suffering. No one will side with him, no one will cry for him, but everyone will love me, everyone will adore me. I'll be their King so there isn't a choice in the matter.

He chewed his bacon with a scowl before placing the remaining piece onto his wooden plate and leaned into chair on the dais. He sighed and lifted his chalice once again, sipping at his wine. Northern wine tasted dull to the boy, but this was all he had for now. Joffrey stood from his chair and walked off the dais, clacking his boots against the stone floor. His sword dangled against his thigh, his hand still wrapped tightly around the hilt. He wasn't intending to be seen by anyone until they headed down South together. At least Joffrey felt that he'd made a small victory against his younger brother. He was poised to take Sansa Stark as his lady wife one day soon and rule as King with her as his Queen. Joffrey smirked knowing that his idiot of a brother was too drunk to know that their father decided on forming a pact to take Sansa as his wife.

I wonder what he'll do once he finds out. Joffrey laughed. I'll bet he'll try to fight me or something or another. I want him to show off his powers like the freak he is. I can't tell anyone or else they'll assume that I've gone mad. I need to keep my throne and I need Naruto out of the way. That assassin was a good touch, but I feel that it was a bad idea to start with. Sending someone to do something that I could have easily blamed on someone else. Joffrey sighed and continued walking. The Hound would definitely like to take a swing at Naruto for causing him to lose his left hand. I would love to see Naruto fight the Hound and see how he fares. I doubt he'll use his powers in front of everyone, but soon I'll get him. I'll be King though, so I can easily just order that bumbling fool to show the court his powers.

He'll be seen as a monster. He'll be cast out and I'll have free reign to do with him as we please. Joffrey kept thinking. Unless something else comes along then I'll just have to wait. At least I'll be taking the girl he has his eyes for. At least I have that.

Joffrey walked off from the castle, avoiding the looks of his own men and the looks of the smallfolk as they passed by him. His face was still in a cruel smirk filled with spite, anger and the whole nine. he was silent though and deigned from making a noise that even seemed like he was going to speak to someone. The Hound sighed and found Joffrey, walking up behind him, his emotionless expression still prevalent on his face as ever. The Hound physically towered over Joffrey, but it seemed that the Hound had lost his will after the King removed his left hand. Sword hand or not, the Hound needed two hands to wield his greatsword to keep up with his brother. Without his left hand, the Hound knew that his brother had finally won and will never die by his hand.

Naruto was suddenly stopped by someone he was not looking forward to seeing. The little figure of his uncle, Tyrion, came waddling up to him with a glare on his hideous face. Joffrey glared back at the little man with a smug look on his face. He grinned when his uncle walked with a little wobble to his tiny legs. He was clearly drunk. Tyrion stopped to look at Joffrey as the boy rested his forearm on the sword hilt, no longer gripping his sword. Joffrey stood with a smug look on his face and an aura of superiority with the way he spoke. Joffrey wasn't looking forward to whatever his uncle had to say. Tyrion tough stopped and pulled out a miniature wineskin and took a quick sip before looking up to Joffrey, resting his glare on the blond haired boy.

"I haven't seen you." Tyrion said with a frown. "Your brother lies in a bed, wounded and here you are, finally deciding to show yourself."

"I was told that my brother would survive." Joffrey responded with sarcasm dripping off of his lips. "Besides, I can't stand to hear the cries of women-"

Smack!

"What-?" Joffrey looked at Tyrion with a look of horror.

"What is wrong with you, boy?" Tyrion asked with a glare. "What kind of sick ideas are running through your head. That is your brother! Living or not-"

"I don't care!" Joffrey responded, interrupting Tyrion yet again.

Smack!

"You will go to your brother and apologize for not coming to see him in his state." Tyrion glared.

"You can't-" Joffrey interrupted.

Smack!

"You will go or I will hit you again." Tyrion said with a deepening glare.

"I'm telling mother!" Joffrey cried, his hand tightening around his hilt.

Smack!

"Go! Tell your mother." Tyrion shouted. "And once you're done with that, you can apologize to Naruto since she's talking with him at this very moment!"

Tyrion smirked victoriously and took a small sip of his wine before turning on his heels once Joffrey disappeared, heading towards the Keep. The Hound though gave Tyrion a worried look and leaned against the wall.

"He'll remember that, little Lord." Sandor said suddenly.

"Oh, I'd hope so." Tyrion cleverly responded. "And be a good dog and remind him if he ever forgets."

Naruto sat with a small blush on his cheeks. His hands rested on the fur covers. Next to him Robb and Jon were telling the boy a story of something or another, their direwolves sitting next to them. But the cause for his blushing was the girl sitting on his other side, forcefully feeding him food. Naruto could eat his food on his own, but Sansa was persistent and now, there was nothing he could do to stop her. He opened his mouth for another spoonful of whatever was in the bowl; he never did ask. On his feet, Lady was resting her head on his knee with the rest of her body on his shins. The four of them talked and laughed together and they were growing closer and closer as the moments passed.

Naruto leaned in his seat while Sansa was asking him questions about King's Landing. She asked about court and whether or not she'd be able to see him. Both to which he answered truthfully; court was full of liars and cheaters and he was going to make sure that they got to see each other as much as possible while they were in King's Landing. She asked about other things, the beautiful sites of King's Landing, trying to learn more about Naruto and the two went into a deep conversation about the Sept of Baelor the Blessed. The beauty of the hill it was situated on gave a great view of the rest of the city, although Flea Bottom was just a few glances away.

He spoke in great detail of the sights and smells of King's Landing, the trees, the people and the vibrant colors that made the city so great. He of course tried his best not to go into detail about Flea Bottom, not wanting to divert Sansa from wanting to go. He continued on with his stories of going around the city and meeting strange people and even strange nobles. He of course didn't say anything about the reason behind the Hound's lost hand, despite Robb and Jon's questions. Sansa was listening with rapt attention, even asking along the way things that actually dealt with the conversation, surprising Robb and Jon all the same. Normally when someone would talk to her, she'd usually stay quiet and not even care in the slightest, but Naruto managed to bring out another side to her.

Suddenly, Cersei entered the room, a bright and vibrant red dress was worn with elaborate metalwork on her torso. Robb, Jon and Sansa stood, bowing their heads to Cersei, sounding off with a chorus of 'Your Grace'. Cersei nodded her head at the three and they quickly sat back down, keeping their heads turned to Naruto. Naruto looked to his mother nervously but she simply waved him off and told him to continue talking and pretend she was invisible. Naruto shrugged anyway and went on to talk about the training field in the Red Keep's courtyard where Ser Jaime trained him whenever the Kingsguard knight could. Naruto told them with a growing smile on his face about the grueling swordplay training that his uncle put him through, even though those sessions were usually short lived because of his duties.

Cersei felt her heart break once again. Naruto idolized his uncle. He went on and on, talking about how fun his uncle is, constantly making smart remarks and constantly saying sarcastic responses to anyone and everyone. Naruto even said that if he wasn't to become King then he'd want to be a knight like Ser Jaime. Robb and Jon looked to each other then back to Naruto and gave him smiles of approval; knighthood was always an honorable goal for any high-born, prince or otherwise. Sansa blushed at the implications; seeing him in a suit of plate armor, bearing the stag and the lion of Baratheon and Lannister, seemed like a wonderful sight to behold. Cersei watched him, her green eyes glimmering with a bit of pride. She brought her sleeve up and wiped the corner of her eye, but that action wasn't missed by Robb.

"Your Grace…?" Robb asked. "Would you like a wipe?"

"No, young Stark." She replied with a shake of her head. "I am fine; something blew into my eye."

Naruto gave his mother a small smile before continuing his story. Cersei decided to listen in on this one. It was a story of a day where he and his uncle Tyrion were together. The Queen had no knowledge of this day and stayed quiet hearing the details rush in. Naruto told them of the first time he'd ever tried wine. He was about seven and he saw his uncle had knocked out in his guest quarters in the Keep. Naruto had apparently snuck into Tyrion's quarters with the silence of a cat and started taking sips of Tyrion's wine. He said he initially spit it out, but Robb assumed that it was because his mother was there in the room. After his performance at the feast, Sansa didn't believe that Naruto didn't like wine during his first few sips. He then went on to say that he found a few unopened wineskins and removed their corks, and took in for the first time, Arbor Gold and immediately fell in love with it.

Cersei deadpanned. Naruto then went on to say that he looked around for more but he was droopy at that point. He lifted another wineskin, but the jug was decorated with golden claws and jewels. He at the time didn't realize and dropped the wineskin in surprise, not realizing that the jug was already opened. Robb was surprised when Naruto said that his hand was covered in blood. Cersei was about to scream that she finally had proof that Tyrion was indeed a little creature, until Naruto decided to say the most important detail. He sipped on the blood finding that it was cold and not warm like it would normally be. He said that the moment the wine touched his tongue, he'd never felt so amazed by its taste. Unbeknownst to the boy, Cersei realized that he'd just described Dornish Red Strongwine; a wine as red as blood but as sweet as vengeance and also Cersei's personal favorite.

"You've got a good tongue for wine, Son." Cersei suddenly piped.

"Thank you, Mother." Naruto smiled. "Uncle Tyrion agree. Uncle Jaime though says I'm too young to be drinking the way I've been."

"Well, I'm glad that you do, Naruto." Robb smiled. "I haven't had a drinking friend before."

"You have one now!" Naruto laughed.

The boy was about to continue with another story until they heard the sound of clacking boots coming up the hall. Lady, Grey Wind and Ghost all sat up barring their teeth towards the door. Cersei looked at the three direwolves with a strange look. It seems that the Stark's pets protect Naruto as their own. She looked towards the door contemplating what this could mean. But from the hall came someone she wasn't expecting to show up. Joffrey arrived with a glare on his face, his hand still clenched on the hilt of his sword. He took a deep breath and looked to his mother to see her with a surprised look on her face. Joffrey turned his head back to the boy sitting in the bed. Lady though kept growling at him, despite Sansa's desperate attempts to calm the direwolf down.

"Naruto." Joffrey finally said. "I'm sorry that I haven't been here to see you. I just couldn't stomach the thought of you almost dying. To know that you were going to live filled me with joy, brother. I just want you to know that. For what it's worth, I'm sorry."

"It's ok, Joffrey-"

"Well, I'm going to my quarters." Joffrey frowned and left the room as soon as he'd left.

Cersei sighed in disbelief and walked from the room after Joffrey, leaving the group alone once again. But before she disappeared into the hall, she gave Naruto a small smile and took off after her first born. Back in the room, Naruto sat with a blank look on his face. Joffrey has never said those words to him before. Never has he said anything even close like that to anyone. Naruto clenched his teeth, his jaw tightening bringing worry from Sansa to come to life. Her icy blue eyes watched him carefully, along with Robb and Jon thinking the same.

"Do you think he was telling the truth?" Sansa meekly asked.

"Gods no." Robb replied.

"Joffrey's a little shit, Sansa." Jon said with frown. "I can't believe father allowed a marriage pact-"

"Marriage?" Robb and Naruto asked with wide eyes. The two boys shared a look and glared at Jon, believing him to be jesting. "When in seven hells was this spoken of?" Robb asked with a glare.

"You two were passed out when it was decided." Sansa said with a frown. "Father and King Robert decided that it was time to merge House Stark and House Baratheon together by marrying me to Joffrey and Arya to Tommen."

"Even Arya?!" Robb's icy eyes were wide with fright. "I'm going to feel sorry for Prince Tommen…"

"Why?" Naruto asked, his face aghast.

"Arya is wolf-blooded like me." Robb smirked. "She'll be too stubborn and she'll probably never be the perfect wife or lady that Septa Mordane keeps trying to turn her into."

"Wolf-blooded?" Naruto asked. "Is that a Stark title or a Northman title?"

"Starks are known to be fierce like wolves and some of us even act like wolves." Robb responded. "Our late uncle and late aunt, Brandon and Lyanna, were wolf-blooded. Our father told us that wolf-blooded made you wild and unpredictable."

Naruto raised an eyebrow as Robb's face dropped suddenly. Sansa rolled her eyes and rested he hands in her lap while Lady went back to sleep on Naruto's legs.

"Am I wild?!" Robb asked with a frown.

"The way you swing your sword is a bit wild-"

"Oh, stuff it, Naruto." Robb growled.

"He's right, Robb." Jon added to the Stark's displeasure.

"Oh, Jon…" Naruto shook his head. "You're actually worse. I thought you-"

"I bet if Robb wasn't in the way, I'd be able to beat you." Jon responded with a glare.

"But I'm better at fighting than you are, Jon." Robb responded to which Jon deflated. "One day you'll hopefully be as good as I."

"Men." Sansa shook her head. "Always talking about fighting and wine."

"I thought you liked my stories…" Naruto said with a look of feigned hurt.

"No, Naruto, I love your stories!" Sansa quickly said, gripping his hand.

The three boys were silent, trying their best not to laugh. But they could only make it so far. Robb, Jon and Naruto immediately burst into heavy, bellowing laughter. Jon fell from his seat and Robb rested his palm on his face, covering his eyes from sight. Naruto laughed heartily, slightly offending Sansa. The girl glared at Naruto, furrowing her eyebrows at the boy. Naruto though, continued to laugh, leaning back and laughed even harder. Sansa felt the corners of her lips tug. Soon enough she started laughing gaining a surprised expression from Lady, waking the wolf from her nap.

"Lady!" Sansa suddenly shouted.

The wolf shot up and tackled Naruto against the headboard, licking his face, shutting him up. The boy's hands shot out, begging for help, waving in all directions. Jon and Robb looked at Sansa and back to the direwolf licking Naruto's face and decided to laugh at the boy trapped beneath a direwolf's heavy clutches. Naruto screamed and screamed, at first sounding a low octave, like a normal shout, but his screams began to rise in pitch until he began to sound like a little girl, and continued to beg for help and mercy, screaming that he was sorry, trying to get Lady to get off of him. Sansa relented and pet the wolf and scratched her ear caringly and kissed Lady on her little nose.

"Don't laugh at me like that again, Naruto." Sansa warned. "Lady always did like giving kisses like that."

"Next time, warn me." Naruto laughed.

Suddenly though, Robert, Cersei, Ned and Catelyn entered the room. Robert, Ned and Catelyn had small smiles on their faces but Cersei seemed disheveled with fear. She looked around the room for any sign of struggle, pushing between Robert and Ned to get in. She looked left and right and laid her eyes on Naruto only to deadpan. His face was drenched and Sansa was giggling softly as she caressed Lady's head. Robb and Jon tried their best not to laugh and looked down holding on to the bed furs for reassurance. The adults entered the room and stood in a line, allowing Joffrey into the room. The four children immediately tensed when they saw Joff. He was angry as usual and couldn't meet eyes with Naruto. The Baratheon scion tilted his head, finding Joffrey's anger to be pointed at him. I didn't do anything though…unless I did? Naruto thought.

"I've told Joffrey about a slight change in plans." Robert said with a smile. "Now, my son, I don't know if you knew or not, but Joffrey was originally going to marry Sansa-"

"Wait, originally?" Ned asked, clearly having been left out of the loop. Catelyn was no different. "What happened."

"Well, Ned." Robert said, slapping his palm on his old friends back. "Seeing how my son has taken such a liking to your daughter and his impressive skill in combat, I've decided to change our pact. Joffrey will no longer be marrying Sansa and instead Naruto will take his place."

All eyes were as wide as plates. Robb actually didn't have a problem with this arrangement and started laughing. Jon gave Naruto a nod and pat him on his back and Sansa immediately shot up in heat. Her cheeks were as red as her hair and her once firm hands began to shake. Naruto would have smiled under normal circumstances, but the boy kept his gaze on the seething form of his elder brother, Joffrey.

What is he thinking right now…?

"Oh, and that's not all!" Robert cried. "Every prince needs a squire. After hearing Naruto talk to your son Brandon about knighthood and all other subjects pertaining to combat, I've decided that Bran will be Naruto's personal squire!"

"But your Grace!" Catelyn said, feeling her heart race in her chest. "Aren't two Starks in the South enough?"

"Nonsense, Catelyn!" Robert let out a bellowing laugh. "Your son will get to visit you here in Winterfell as much as he wants, especially with the close bond Robb and my son already have, you'll even get to see your daughter at least once a year! Can you believe it, Ned?! Stark and Baratheon, finally bonded by more than brotherhood. It took seventeen years, Ned, but we've done it."

In the back of the room, hidden by the tall forms of the adults, Joffrey leaned against the wall with a broken expression. His hands were shaking with rage and his shoulders trembled. His fleece coat had never felt so heavy before. His legs were wobbling and his balance was beginning to fade. He leaned his head against the doorframe, trying his best to disappear from sight, for once, wishing that the stories of invisibility and ghosts were true. He didn't want to be here. He knew that dealing with Northerners was only going to ruin him. He knew that dealing within anyone that wasn't a Lannister or Baratheon would destroy him.

I will get back at you, Naruto. Joffrey glared menacingly as the tears began to sting in his eyes; his rage finally piquing. You will regret every existing, and I will see to your execution; personally!

I hope no one felt sorry for the little wanker, Joffrey
