Dany
What the hell was she thinking? Ha, that would imply she was thinking at all… Last night was bad enough but this morning? Fucking hell, any line there was, was simply thrown out the window. It had been difficult enough to get her head around last night, which defiantly didn't go as planned, but she had now… Yeah, now she couldn't stop thinking about… Ugh. In all honesty, she didn't want to leave the bathroom, but she knew she couldn't stay in there forever and that wasn't even taking into consideration that he wanted a shower, probably needed one too! Gathering her courage she swallowed hard and pulled open the door, peering through the crack to see him lying on the bed with his arms crossed over his chest. Pushing the door all the way open she froze pursing her lips as he jumped up and stormed past her without so much as looking her way, though he did make sure to lock the door this time, cursing not so quietly once it was closed behind him. Was it bad she found it amusing? There was guilt there too, and shame, hells there was a whole host of emotions bubbling at the seams. What the fuck was wrong with her?
After her ex and how that shit show ended, she was rather reluctant to jump back on the horse so to speak and then came Daario. This amazing guy that just seemed to get her, to know her; still, she was sceptical and refused to rush into it because she wanted to be sure. What she didn't know at the time was he was sleeping with her friend in his attempts to gather information like a, shit spy, and use that information to act like he knew her. His problem was he didn't realise she actually spoke to her friends, idiot. Her current problem was he was courting, or trying to, for weeks and the furthest they'd got was a kiss and yet with Jon, she'd already gone way past that. Somehow everything felt new and exciting though perhaps the best, or worst, of it was that he made her feel like the girl she was when they were together. Dany shook the thought from her head, finishing up with her hair before grabbing his T-shirt and climbing into bed noticing that despite Jon's current mood he'd put her phone on charge next to his. So maybe he wasn't that annoyed. Dany grabbed her phone and switched it on while she got comfortable, rolling her eyes as the notification that popped up on the screen;
| Daario: I can't wait to see you! ;)
Maybe Jon was wrong… Clearly, Daario had lost his mind! If he assumed she was putting up with his shit, this entire trip he was wrong. He knew she wasn't interested, she'd told him enough bloody times. Yet the idiot just never gave up. Deciding to fire off a quick reply;
| Dany: I certainly can!
She pushed her phone under the pillow and closed her eyes to settle down for a bit, they still had around 2 hours before they met with everyone else and after all the trekking and last night, she was shattered. The bathroom door swinging open stopped her in her tracks, curiosity getting the better of her as she opened her eyes and watched him. He was still mumbling under his breath as he messily dried his hair with the towel before folding the towel up and placing it across his pillow. His eyes narrowing as he caught her gaze though he rolled his eyes, yanked back the cover and climbed into bed settling as far from her as he could, ok he was moody. Dany sighed loudly before she scooted closer pausing as he rolled over to face her,
"I think that's close enough," his grumble only made her laugh as he brought his arm down above the covers to prevent her from getting any closer. Dany moved as close as she could, pressing herself up against this wall he'd made and moving her face close enough to his that their noses nearly touched. "Has anyone ever told you, you're a right pain in the arse?" his eyes remained closed as he spoke though his face scrunched slightly as their noses touched.
"I'm certain they have," she said as she moved closer pressing her lips against his lightly more amused when he turned and hid his face between the pillows, mumbling 'Why am I not surprised' under his breath. Yes, he had every right to be annoyed with her but he clearly wasn't that annoyed or he would have likely done something drastic like leaving. "So I'm not allowed near you then?" she asked, moving closer to whisper in his ear letting her lips trace his ear lobe as lightly as she could but not lingering, just wanting him to come from behind the damn wall.
"I'm going to sleep. You should do the same… way over there," he pointed to the opposite side of the bed though he had a small smile curling at his lips before he hid away again between the pillows,
"Why don't you make me?" she flicked his ear watching as he leaned back doing his best glowering expression betrayed with the smile curling at his lips as he shook his head slightly, "You shouldn't be smiling Jon, this here is fighting talk,"
"I should have stayed with Robb," he grumbled and she laughed pushing against the stupid barrier again letting him know what she wanted, what did she want, to kiss him, to cuddle, or just be close to him? Jon laid his head on the pillow watching her intently, "I'll do you a deal," he gave her a pointed look before he looked down to the covers. "You'll pay me back in kind for earlier at some point, and no more teasing while we're here and we can cuddle again," she was sure her face was burning as she caught his gaze again, a tiny voice in her head saying, it's only fair, though a bigger one saying, lol nope. Dany knew that whatever she decided could affect how the rest of the trip went with him.
"I don't want to cuddle that badly," she forced a grimace to her face as he smiled and shrugged, "I won Rock, Paper, Scissors fair and square. Why would I need to pay you back?" she asked, it was a valid question, wasn't it?
"Well the rock, paper, scissors deal was based on no more teasing while we're in this room, and you violated the rules, therefore, you owe me." He yawned and she couldn't help but yawn too feeling the drowsiness take a hold,
"Fine, I owe you and I won't tease you anymore," she kept her tone flat rolling her eyes trying to show that she wasn't that bothered, no, the promise terrified her. The teasing was one thing that kept things from being too serious but owing him a blowjob… Fucking hell, she'd need to get some alcohol for tonight…
"Good," he nodded his head in acceptance before he closed his eyes and settled down clearly ready for his nap,
"What are you doing?" she asked, he offered the deal…
"Going to sleep," it was a mumble, and she pushed the wall between them firmly,
"Are you going to make me climb over the damn thing?"
"Just go to sleep," he said, she shook her head hooking her leg over the wall he'd made more annoyed when he lifted his leg again to prevent her from getting over it again. "You're so fucking annoying," his grumbling made her even more determined as she pulled away and reassessed the wall again, realising she could squeeze her hand underneath it. Laying her head on, the pillow she smiled at him sweetly before squeezing her hand under the gap, watching the way he shivered at her touch. "Daenerys," it was a growl, and he pulled away releasing his hold on the cover, only she followed him until he reached out and pushed her back with a hand on her shoulder,
"Are you scared to cuddle me?" she asked. His eyes narrowed as his hand moved, his fingers brushing over her cheek, along her neck before he yanked her forwards. It was a struggle to keep up with him as his tongue sought entry, stealing her breath, his fingers moving again with a firm hold of her arse pulling her closer. Dany could only groan as his body forced her onto her back and he settled between her legs, his cock hot and heavy against her stomach before he pulled away onto his knees between her legs. She could only stare breath heaving as he rubbed his hands up and down his face.
"I'm defiantly going to sleep now," he blew out a breath before he flopped back down to the bed as if nothing just happened. Dany huffed out a laugh and rolled onto her side relishing the way he pulled her closer "Is this better?" he asked and she smiled humming as he moulded himself around her,
"I thought you were going to refuse to touch me,"
"Oh, it crossed my mind…" his voice was a whisper as he snuggled up, his nose tickling the back of her neck. "I still think you're a pain in the arse though…" she hummed as he tightened his hold, "I just really like cuddling you," he sighed and she closed her eye's thinking about everything they'd done over the last couple of days. She could only agree about the cuddling and, yes, at times, they'd been daring, but it was only harmless fun. The last few days certainly had not gone how she had planned though nothing ever did when Jon was concerned. No matter how much she wished she could act a specific way, he knocked the wind out of her sails, he made her feel like the girl she used to be…
Coming to it felt like she was in a sauna, opening her eyes finding her face almost stuck to his chest. Dany ran her palm along his throat grinning when his nose twitched but he was still fast asleep with his arm wrapped around her keeping her prisoner against him. She squeezed her hand under the pillow to grab her phone and pulled the quilt down so she could breathe without moving. Looking at her phone there were 7 new messages, 3 from the group chat with Margaery and Missy and 4 from Daario though she was curious as to what the girls were talking about as another message came through,
| Marg: You two awake?
| Missy: Yes, what's up?
| Marg: D's busy then, huh? Lol
| Missy: Busy in the sheets Haha
| Dany: Fuck you! I was asleep! -.-
| Marg: Totally :P
| Marg: Looking forward to seeing everyone?
| Missy: I liked how chilled the Eerie was
| Dany: Chill? did you lot sleep at all? ;)
| Marg: Nope ;)
| Missy: Yes
| Marg: LIESSSS
| Missy: fine. A little lol!
| Marg: HA and don't think I've forgotten about you Dany, TELL ME EVERYTHING!
| Dany: Nothing happened -_-
| Missy: LIESSS ;)
The conversation eventually shifted back to everyone meeting, and despite wanting to see a few of them she was dreading the change to the group. It seemed Marg was not looking forward to it at all and though Missy said she wasn't bothered Dany knew she was if only a little. Closing the chat she clicked on Daario's message thread struggling to herself from groaning out loud…
| Dany: I certainly can!
| …..
| Daario: So you say ;)
| Daario: I thought maybe we could tent up for the night ;)
| Daario: Get to know each other properly this time?
| Daario: I'll see you soon ;)
| Dany: That's a shame…
| Daario: Why so mean :( I can't stop thinking about you beautiful! :*
| Daario: Here's to a wonderful time together :P
| Dany: I hope your boat capsizes
"I swear you sighed with every letter you typed in that message," his voice startled her, impulses kicking in and almost throwing her phone away as she glanced up to find him wide awake staring down at her with an amused look on his face. He wasn't wrong, but how long was he laid there watching her type away?
"Snooping were you?" she reached over him and put her phone on the bedside table next to his and settled back against him, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Your sighing did make me curious though I couldn't see for your big head," he smiled yelping when she nipped him grasping her hand to stop the assault and tightening his hold on her in the process,
"You're an arse," she said, and she shook her head attempting to suppress a smile when he nuzzled against her, "I'm not worrying either, it was only Daario," it wasn't like there were any secrets, the chat was him saying something and her responding with sarcasm mainly, or she'd ignore him.
"I didn't ask," he said sighing slightly while shifting, so they were laying on their sides facing each other, "So I was thinking,"
"Oh gods, don't hurt yourself," she grinned as he pouted shaking his head when she reached out tracing her palm against his cheek. She wanted to kiss him, but this time she was rather unsure of the whole 'teasing' guidelines. What the hell did teasing even entail?
"I've thought of another challenge if you're still up to it,"
"I'm always ready to kick your arse Jon, what about you?" she was rather excited for another challenge, there are no rules to follow if she was the boss and with earlier still fresh on her mind she already knew what she wanted, maybe she could get another back massage as well…
"Well, I wouldn't have thought of another challenge if I wasn't, would I?" he drawled, the sarcasm dripping in his tone as he grinned, "So I was thinking we could have a boat race, what do you think?"
"That actually sounds like a lot of fun," it really did… The curtains were drawn though she could see the sun peeking out from the top and if the weather held it certainly could be a lot of fun racing around the Isle of the gods for a bit and then heading back to camp… That's if their challenge isn't ruined by the others.
"You seem surprised,"
"In a good way, so what do you want out of it?" she asked looking at him curiously. There was some ideas rummaging through her head but with everything that had happened, she couldn't be sure what he'd pick,
"Well, you're going to be doing anything I say obviously," he gave her a knowing look, one that told her everything she needed to know. He was going to drive her absolutely insane and then he was going to claim his IOU…If he won, but she wasn't going to let him,
"I thought as much but you're rubbish at winning, so I have nothing to worry about really…"
"I did win yesterday," he said, it wasn't like she needed bloody reminding…
"You sure did, but I think I won where it counted," she grinned as she thought about it, "I think we're going to do a rerun of last night but with…" she trailed off watching the way his eyes widened before she climbed out of bed and grabbed the bag of goodies they'd bought on the way to the hotel. The likelihood of her using them was minimal, but she wanted to see the dumbfounded look on his face… Kneeling down and rummaging through the bag, grabbing the packet she stood quickly and turned to face him bitting her lip as she caught his eyes trailing up and her bare legs, watching the exact moment that his eyes landed on the packet of cable ties in her hand.
"Are you drunk?" he sounded breathless and she couldn't help laugh the mirth fading as he sat up and moved to the edge of the bed. "To be honest, I could think of a few ways they could come in handy…" any repose was lost when he stood up his eyes never leaving hers as he stopped in front of her drawing his tongue across his lips. He looked to the cable ties as he slowly circled her, and she involuntary shivered as his fingers brushed against her arm lightly. Legs nearly giving out as he pulled her back flush against him. "I can just imagine it now," his voice was low, gruff in her ear as he drew her arms together above her head "Here…" she swallowed hard leaning her head back against him as he slowly moved her arms down and around her back between them. "Or here?" he growled quietly biting lightly into the skin of her neck, pressing his cock into her palm. Dany was sure her legs were going to give out as he moved her forwards towards the bed, pressing her arms to the headboard, "Or maybe here…" she could feel his cock against her arse and bit the inside of her cheek trying to figure out what he would do next… "But what do I know?" he sighed as she was pulled away from the headboard and thrown onto the bed, heart pounding in her ears as she peered over her shoulder to see him laughing to himself before he bent down picked up a bag of sweets and walked around the bed, what an actual c… Dany shook her head and climbed back into bed stealing the packet of sweets off him as she snuggled back up talking about everything and nothing and keeping each other occupied before they had to meet with everyone else.
"What time is it?" Jon eventually asked. it wasn't like the phones were right next to him or anything. Dany reached over making a show of climbing half on him to grab the phone, seeing the time as 14:44 the smile fell and she could feel a nervousness heightening though it felt so far away as she settled down against him again.
"Quarter to three," she sighed, "We'll have to set off soon," she laid her head back on his shoulder content to enjoy this while it lasted
"I wouldn't mind staying here… You can go on without me.," he said with a sigh, and she couldn't help but smile as he tightened his hold on her, was this his way of saying he wanted to stay here with her? Or did he just prefer to stay here opposed to meeting everyone else? She wanted to believe it was the former but then her brain stubbornly reverted to asking questions about just what the hell they were doing…
"I'm not going without you," she realised her mistake immediately as he pulled away, "I err," the words stuck on her tongue at the look of adoration on his face,
"You're so adorable,"
"I'll go by myself then," she huffed batting his hand away and trying to stop herself from smiling
"Sure you will," his smile was infectious as he wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled against him smiling when he pulled the duvet up around them. Dany could say for certain she was enjoying this, sick to death of smiling, but enjoying it none the less… Thoughts of staying there, fucking the camping trip off and spending time together. She was nearly falling asleep when Jon's phone buzzed agonisingly against the wooden bedside table, wanting to reach over and launch the damn thing out the window,
"Turn it off…" she mumbled,
"Shush," Jon tried his best to untangle himself but failed when she hooked her legs over his a smile curling his lips as he answered the phone, "Hi Mom," her eyes widened when she realised who it was, watching the conversation play out. "Nope, I still haven't forgotten," he rolled his eyes and shook his head but he still had a smile on his face. "Yes, yes…" he laughed, "Just before we go to Winterfell, and then when we finish up on Sunday," he looked down, and she pointed to the phone hopeful she could say hello. When was the last time she'd spoken to Ashara? "I love you too," he sighed, "M…" she couldn't wait, sitting up and snatching the phone from his hand, a little nervous but too excited to let that stop her.
"Hi, Ashara,"
"Wait… Daenerys?" she sounded just the same, soft-spoken in the way she remembered from her youth.
"The one and only," she breathed trying to untangle herself only this time Jon didn't let her so she laid against him thrilled to be talking to Jon's mom as her mind wondered over everything else.
"God's I haven't seen you since…" They moved up north… God's it was nice to talk to her again, tearing up as Ashara asked her every question under the sun, needing to know everything before divulging that Jon was stopping by when they finished up at the Neck and she had to accompany him. When she eventually ended the call, she couldn't wipe the smile from her face, laying half on Jon as his fingers toyed with the ends of her hair. They laid in silence for a moment before she pulled away to look at him, leaning in and pecking him on the cheek lightly.
"I miss her so much," she sighed happily, excited to see her again, "she told me to tell you, I'm accompanying you to see her," Jon rolled his eyes looking at her intently,
"Is that so?"
"Yes." Dany moved forwards and kissed him, not wanting to move on from that. Just wanting to show him how happy she was in that moment. It didn't linger, and neither moved to deepen it with the weight of the past and the upcoming gathering weighing on them. Pulling away she grabbed his phone again sitting up and putting her phone number in it before she could talk herself out of it.
"That's getting blocked!" he said,
"That's for emergencies only," she stated, grinning as he snorted snatching the phone from her grasp and holding it so she couldn't see as he typed away. Laughing as her phone buzzed from its place on the bedside table. She reached over him grabbing the phone though was more surprised seeing a message from the group chat as well as a new number,
| Missy: Is everyone running late?
Looking at the time her mouth fell open as it was now 15:12, where did the time go? Still, she let, the curiosity get the better of her and quickly checked Jon's message too;
| Unknown: You're still a pain in the ass!
Dany laughed adding the number into her phone quickly and jumping out of bed, getting dressed again, pushing, and pulling at each other, stealing kisses. She was unsure what compelled her to do it but she knew when they left the room things would change… How it changed was debatable, but it would. Once they were finally dressed and had, all their belongings to hand they both stood by the door a moment, just taking a moment to relish in their bubble for a moment longer. Dany smiled up at him taking the first step enjoying the way he yanked her forwards, cupped her jaw and drew her into a kiss. The kiss was hard, messy, and she gasped as he backed her against the door grinning as he nipped at her bottom lip, biting his in return as he pulled away.
"You ready for this cluster fuck?"
"Where we meet our friends, families and strangers… Oh, I'm ready for this shit show alright," he said grinning and she couldn't help but kiss him once more before they left the room together, leaving behind their bubble and whatever this was between them…
Gods, she was nervous, palms sweating as they dropped their things in the car before heading to the pub around the corner. The walk to the pub took all of 5 minutes, which was too damn quick, though her nerves settled at being the third pair to arrive with Sam and Gilly, Missy and Grey already there. Dany watched Jon hug his friends before she was introduced getting shy 'HI's' as they sat down at one of the bigger tables before heading with Jon to get drinks. By drinks, she opted for a sprite but only because the race was at the forefront of her mind and she wanted to keep a clear head to beat his ass. They returned to the table just as the doors opened again,
"Jon?" it was a woman's voice and Jon just managed to place his drink down before he was almost tackled to the floor, Dany laughed at the spectacle grinning as she spotted Arianne marching towards them open armed pulling her into a hug.
"Fucking hell, Nym I need to breathe," Jon said as the girl laughed dropping to her feet and flicking the long braid over her shoulder.
"Dany this is my cousin, Nym. Nym this is Dany," Arianne said before she gave Jon a hug whispering something in his ear as he barked out a laugh. "Right Jon, I want a Margarita and Nym wants a Bloody Mary, so off you go," Jon rolled his eyes but headed to the bar while everyone else introduced themselves. It was weird how Arianne knew everyone except Sam and Gilly, while Nymeria knew Sam and Gilly but didn't know Grey, Missy or herself though it was nice to see everyone mixing and being friendly with each other even as Jon returned with the drinks sitting between her and Sam.
Next to arrive was Robb and Marg with Ayra and Gendry not far behind. It was another round of pleasantries with Arya virtually skipping to the table smiling her way before she sat across from Jon, "I swear I saw some guy down the road with a huge box of chocolates," Arya said, Jon pursed his lips together as Gendry shook his head and laughed,
"Oh, and how big was this box?" Marg asked, while Jon rolled his eyes and shook his head. Dany had no idea what the hell they were talking about and she couldn't figure out why it mattered, who cared if someone had a bloody box? She watched as Arya measured an imaginary box between her hands, no bigger than 30cm x 30cm.
"Something like that could easily hold a book or two…" Missy said from her spot, turning to look her way even Grey was shaking his head. What the hell were they up to? The door opened before she could question them and she found herself stealing herself for the inevitable Daario but she was pleasantly surprised by the beaming Sansa pulling along her grumbling boyfriend along with the duo of Jeyne and Ramsey. The temperature seemed to drop with the idle chatter seemingly being snuffed out though it was hard to concentrate on that as Jon's fingers brushed her own lightly. She tried not to react as she moved her hand on top of his bitting her tongue as he lifted their hands and placed them delicately on her thigh whilst in the middle of his conversation with Sam, she had no idea what they were talking about digging her nails into his hand as he squeezed her thigh before he very slowly worked his hand slowly up her thigh…
"What the fuck are you looking at?" Joffrey's tone threw her and looking up she was even more confused with the standoff between him and Robb. Jon sighed loudly before he was up and grabbing hold of Robb who looked ready to throttle Joffrey.
"Look, guys, I'm telling you now. Cut the shit out. We're here to enjoy ourselves, let's just do that okay?" Jon said, ever the diplomat apparently. He pulled Sansa into a hug a grimace on his face as he met Jeyne's gaze before he turned around,
"He's got the problem, I'm dating your sister. Deal with it…" Joffrey's arms were flailing as he pointed to Robb then to Sansa as if they needed to know who his girlfriend was.
"The fact you're an insufferable arsehole has a lot more to do with it," Robb grimaced, "If you can't keep your mouth shut just go home," Robb said as he pointed to the door which had Sansa frowning while Jon shook his head while Arianne laughed,
"Free country," Joffrey said, Dany was sure the whole bar groaned while Arya dropped her head the table and Gendry shook his head muttering curses under his breath,
"Oh, shut the fuck up Jof and get a drink," Gendry said with a long drawn-out sigh and thankfully everything settled from there. With Joffrey, Sansa, Ramsey and Jeyne's sitting at another table while Jon went to catch up with Sansa before coming back and sitting beside her again. The conversation flowed and Marg was starting to get more annoyed as the minutes ticked by. Dany would be lying if she said she hadn't noticed the stolen glances between everyone, made worse when Gendry wouldn't even look her way. It was doing nothing but piss her off and then the door flew open… The groan could not be helped at all as Daario stormed through the bloody door like a man on a mission, his eyes landing on hers as he strode over with his hands behind his back. As he neared the table, the whole group seemed to curse, even they weren't happy to see him, but Jon laughed dropping his head and smacking the table as Daario stopped at the edge of the table and pulled a – Oh for fuck' sake – bouquet from behind his back.
"Everyone," Daario nodded to the group before his eyes landed on hers, oh the joys… "Daenerys, words cannot describe how breathtaking you are!" he said, she couldn't help the way her face scrunched aware that everyone at the table was struggling to keep it together, made even worse when he thrust the flowers towards her. Jon lost it, barking out a laugh as Arya cursed, "Here, these are for you," he placed the flowers on the table nearly knocking her drink over in the process. Dany had no idea what to say smiling tightly trying to figure out what to say, simply staring at the flower on the table before he spoke up again, "I was wondering if we could talk a moment, in private,"
"I don't suppose you're going to be giving her some chocolate are you?" Arya asked, "Maybe a bracelet?" Marg piped in, "Or a book?" Missy questioned. Dany eyed them all as Daario nervously laughed looking between them all,
"Guy's he's brought flowers," Jon said grinning, "just know I only accept crisp £20 notes," it hit her suddenly the suggestions the knowing looks since they'd been in the damn pub, those bastards…
"You placed bets!" it wasn't a question, it was a statement as she glanced around the group stopping at Jon who seemed to all of a sudden find the cup holder fascinating,
"Maybe," Jon said refusing to look her way…
"Fucking arseholes, how much have you just won?" she was well aware she was ignoring Daario, these fuckers placed bets, and she wasn't included…
"£140…" Jon said quickly ducking his head not unlike a chastised child. As if they'd actually bet on Daario's arrival… she did feel a little less guilty for making Jon suffer now though…
"I hope you know you're splitting that with me," she said stopping herself from touching him before she turned her attention to the problem at hand … Daario. "As for you Daario I can't accept these, I'm just not interested and whatever you have to say can be said here…"
"If this is about before I already told you, I got mixed up… I'm sorry," Daario said.
"I don't care, I've told you before…" she replied quickly noting all eyes were darting between them.
"Come on, I need a stronger drink," Jon said as he stood and pushed Daario towards the bar despite his protests and for that she was thankful. Why couldn't he just take no for an answer and leave her alone, or better yet just be a friend? There was never a chance for Daario, not all the alcohol in the world could help in that endeavour… Jon returned with a bottle of Bacardi Breezer offering a smile only for her before he went to sit at the other table taking Daario with him and she busied herself talking with Sam, Arya and Robb. They were supposed to be setting off back to Harrenhal for 4 but the newbies decided they wanted to stay for a few more drinks with Nymeria goading Grey into a game of darts while Gilly and Sansa played pool and she took the time to think, finding herself thrown back to her school days in stealing glances at the boy she had a crush on all over again. Crush? He wasn't a crush but she couldn't deny wanting to spend time with him, half wishing they's could have stayed in the room… Jon was glancing back every once in a while, clearly pretending to listen to the teacher or in this case Daario as she pretended to listen to Margaery and Theon bicker. Dany wasn't even sure when he turned up, and she couldn't say she cared either. She understood why Jon was way over there keeping Daario away from her. It wasn't down to jealousy or annoyance he was doing it so she was left alone. Daario was unbearable after all… The problem was she hated it. After spending so much time together she over the last few days, some of the better days in recent memory, was this how things were going be like from now on? Dany was pulled from her mulling as her phone buzzed and looking down she smiled looking at the notification,
| Jon: I don't like to say 'I told you so,' but I told you we should have stayed in the room.
| Dany: everything before the world but…
| Jon: So you disagree?
| Dany: No, I was thinking the same
| Jon: Great minds n' all that. You'll be losing a race soon enough
| Dany: You seem confident, why don't you put your ££ where your mouth is?
| Dany: Your £140 and your IOU on top of everything else.
| Jon: so I'd win £280 and extra Y.O.M? Talk about daylight robbery.
| Jon: No deal! I'll give you your £63 when we get to the car
| Dany: thought it was £70?
| Jon: You bought our drinks ;)
"What you laughing at?" Margaery asked, pulling her from her own little world. Dany smartly switched apps showing a picture of a lion eating marmite which actually made Marg laugh. The drinking lasted a lot longer than was ideal with the newbies aiming to get pissed before they even set off but Sam and Robb put an end to that kicking everyone into gear. Dany decided to go to the bar and see if she could wrangle the bartender to part with a bottle or two, standing there waiting for the tender to finish up. Jon seemed to be thinking the same thing joining her at the bar to order some bottles for later, it was quiet now that everyone had left,
"£63?" she asked quietly watching the grin slowly spread across his lips,
"Yup, thank you for the drink again,"
"You're not welcome," she said as she scoffed shaking her head and waiting for the damn bartender. She was actually looking forward to getting back to the car ready to have their race but before that, there were a few things that certainly needed to be done.
"Well, I appreciate the sentiment all the same," he said as he looked down at her, his eyes briefly straying to her lips before he glanced behind her, his face falling into the neutral mask he'd worn on that first night though this time with a slight smirk playing at his lips.
"What you two whispering about?" Daario asked. She didn't bother turning around realising she had been leaning towards Jon and resurrected it leaning on the bar instead.
"Hey darlin', do you possibly sell bottle's," Jon asked the bartender she would have laughed had it not been for Daario squeezing himself between the space between them and looking at her intently, as the bartender and Jon rattled off in conversation, Dany sighed knowing she would have to face Daario sooner or later and turned her attention to him fully. It was time to nip it in the bud once and for all.
"Daenerys can we talk for a moment, please?" Daario sighed dragging his fingers through his hair, "I know, I know you don't want to hear it," he said and for one she actually agreed with him. "I know I messed up, I just want you to give me another chance," he said a slight frown marring his lips as he reached out before pulling his hand back, "Let me drive you down to Harrenhall so we can talk…" there were a lot of things she was aware of the bartender was and Jon's conversation had gone deathly silent and look to the bartender was staring at Daario mouth agape…
"Why can't you understand that I'm just not interested?" she sighed loudly, this was quite frankly embarrassing and having to replay the same fucking conversation with him in front of everyone from the bastard postman to the cunting pizza delivery guy wasn't helping, and now here they were in front of a bartender….
"Some things are worth fighting for," he grasped for her hand but she pulled away, rubbing her hand at her temple in a poor attempt to calm her nerves. "I'm a changed man… Look even ask Jon,"
"Jon isn't here right now, and does not want anything to do with that conversation," said Jon, the bartender snorted and she couldn't help but do the same, she didn't want anything to do with this conversation either.
"I'll be honest; I'm not sure how many times I've told you but I'm really not interested. That won't change and there really isn't anything else to say on the matter beside I've already got a ride down to Harrenhal," Daario looked like he wanted to argue but he was thankfully cut off before he could open his mouth,
"Aye, Jon's not happy about it either," Jon said referring to himself in third person, like an idiot, as he poked his head around Daario's form, rolling his eyes for good measure.
"Shut it, you ass," she said glaring at him, as Daario finally turned towards the bar.
"You see what I have to put up with?" Jon said as he shook his head. She forced a frown to her face and reached around Daario to punch him in the arm, ignoring the look that Daario gave her before he turned towards Jon. The three of them ended up with a bottle each before heading out to the cars only Jon went back inside having forgotten something and returned with the flowers Daario had brought for her.
"Can't leave these behind can we," Jon said. Daario remained quiet, and she was struggling to hold back a laugh as Jon all but thrust the flowers in her face. Grabbing a hold of them she gave Daario a small smile, the flowers were nice and despite not being interested in anything to do with him she wasn't heartless enough to throw them away, and he wouldn't take them bloody back… They headed back to the cars in silence with Daario walking between them like another damn wall until the path became narrow and Jon hung back. When they finally made it back to the cars, everyone was already sorting out the bags and belonging in their boots. Jon opened the boot, and she threw her things in being more careful with the alcohol before getting ready to jump in herself.
"It's not too late to change your mind," Daario said stopping her in her tracks, she could hear Jon mumble from the other side of the car as he climbed in of 'For fuck' sake' before he climbed in and slammed the door behind him. "You don't want to ride down with that grumpy arse," he said gesturing to Jon. Turning Jon was glaring as he wound the window down,
"You know I can hear you sparkles," Jon said as he looked to Daario, who seemed to bristle at the name. Sparkles, what the hell was that about?
"Shut it, princess," Daario said as he glared towards Jon, who was now grinning,
"Aye, my hairs long and flowing but the sun glistening off your golden tooth makes you look like a right twat," Jon laughed as the window slowly wound its way back up and she couldn't help herself shaking as she tried not to stare at it when he opened his mouth and closed it a few times trying to think of a response.
"He doesn't seem like such a grump," she counted once she calmed down, she knew he wasn't… "Thanks for the offer but I'm happy where I am, I'll see you around camp I'm sure,"
"Yeah, sure…" he sighed and closed the door for her as she climbed in while Jon wound the window down again, "I'll get you back Snow," Daario said, Jon rolled his eyes a grin playing at his lips,
"Oh, I'm sure you will Blue beard, I'm sure you will," Jon winked and Daario scoffed before he finally left them to head back to his car that he was sharing with Theon. Dany sighed knowing the meeting didn't go how she envisioned but it went better than she expected and now she had a race to win.
How hard could it be?
