Thank you for the review Right What Is Wrong

The rest of the visit Cersei was sullen and barely talked. All the fire seemed to have gone out of her and nothing Jaime said or did could bring a smile to her face.

It wasn't until the night they were home that he was able to have a moment alone with her. He snuck into her chambers, in between the guards changing shifts.

"Go away."

"Cersei, talk to me. Please."

Cersei looked at her twin. "He humiliated me in front of the entire realm, Jaime. I wanted to die."

"I...I'm sorry."

"Why did he do it, Jaime? Why give that crown to her?"

"I don't know. You are far more beautiful than she. Why, I don't think she is beautiful at all even."

"You don't?"

"No. She's boyish."

"I'm boyish."

"You're not."

"I am so! I loved to train with swords, I used to could even beat you, remember?"

"Aye. That was years ago, though."

"Still. I could take you if only I still trained. I miss when we were children and I could do all the things father no longer permits me."

"I'm sorry about that, sweet sister. And perhaps you are boyish in a way. but you don't look boyish. You are beautiful. Besides, her hair is far too dark and her eyes far too blue. I don't know how our brother could find her at all appealing. Perhaps he did it to send a message."

"A message to who?"

"I don't know, her betrothed perhaps."

"Robert Baratheon? Why?"

"I don't know. I just...you're the most beautiful woman in all the realm Cersei. And the fiercest and boldest and brav..."

"I get the point dear brother. I just wish Rhaegar saw me that way."

Jaime thought to himself, 'I love you, why can't that be enough'. Outloud he said, "Rhaegar is a fool. If you were mine I'd never so much as look at another woman."

"But I'm not yours."

"You ARE mine. What I meant was if you were my wife...but I don't look at other women now either. To me, you're the only woman in the world."

Cersei smiled at him through her tears. "I wish I was your wife." She had said this before to him, but she'd never fully meant it. Now for the first time ever she wished it were true. She wished that in less than half a years time he would not marry Elia Martell. The thought made her heartache. Jaime held her close as she forced such thoughts from her mind.

"Should I stay...if Rhaegar..." he started to say.

"He won't dare to visit me tonight."

It was risky, however, Cersei had been right. Rhaegar didn't visit her that night, or any of the nights to come.
