Dany
Yes.
The way he was looking at her… Dany was sure he heart was in her throat as their lips met in a slow passionate kiss, confused at the tears gathering in the corner of her eyes as she quickly climbed off of him and focused on anything else. What a night… Weird, wonderful, a little maddening to some degree and yet enjoyable at the same damn time… Despite how annoying and uncomfortable all the teasing was she had enjoyed herself, she was enjoying herself. Their game had settled somewhat as they cuddled and reminisced about the better times from their past, most of the best memories came from when her brother and Aunt Lya were still around. They weren't family but Lyanna was adamant that she called her Auntie Lyanna like Jon did. Their families were close back then, mainly due to Rhaegar and Lyanna's relationship and once they were gone a chasm slowly grew between them, and everything seemed to just fade away, but not Jon, never Jon. Well, until he did… Dany shook the thought away and focused back on the present, they were still sat by the lake but she knew it was only a matter of time until they were going back to his tent. There was something about the entire trip so far that had surprised her, nothing ever seemed to go like she thought it would so she was really struggling to think of whatever the hells he had planned for tonight. In some ways she didn't want to play this game anymore, or continue with the teasing, she wanted to go back to the tent and have fun meaningless sex with someone she, despite everything liked a lot.
They sat on the banking for a while continuing to remember the better times like going to prom together, expanding to things they'd missed from each other's life. He asked her all kinds of questions listening intently to everything she had to tell him as they lay there until they fell into comfortable silence once more. Her mind stubbornly kept thinking back to truth and dare, well mainly that damn video, though in truth it described everything she wanted, no more teasing. Still, the game was fun, adding something different with having to partner up with Jon, knowing that whatever you picked would somehow involve him. Thankfully there weren't any deep confessions though with Arianne, Daario and to some extent Nym it was to be expected. The game seemed to get more open the longer they played and the 'proper truth and dares' were down right ridiculous. She was positively pleased when Jon decided he wanted to go because just the thought of having to see Theon eating Jeyne out disgusted her, she also hated the way Nymeria was all over Jon…she knew it was jealousy, and she really hated it, but it was there all the same.
Dany climbed up, pulling Jon up enjoying the way his arms wrapped around her and he pulled her close, laughing as he lifted her up squeezing her in a tight hug before slowly putting her back on her feet. She was rather unsure how to react to it, holding his gaze before she pecked him on the lips lightly, poking him in the stomach when she realised how intimate they were becoming. Dany knew that Marg and Robb were exploring, they'd been texting a bit, well she wanted to know what the hell the cruise was all about but the only answer she got was a winky face and the word 'misdirection' which she supposed made sense considering Margaery knew about Robb and his weird hatred of boats. Still with them out and about she knew now was the best opportunity to get them back so she dragged Jon back to her tent to grab her supplies. Dany split the bag of bugs up sticking them in pockets before they made their way to Robb and Margaery's tent, giggling like a bunch of mischievous kids as she peeked out from behind a tree to make sure the coast was clear. When they knew it was they made their way over to the tent, the plan she envisioned was to leave the zip open at the bottom and make a show of the bugs trailing their way into the tent over the afternoon. Jon worked on that quickly while she focused on planting them all over the place, inside the bottom of the sleeping bag, in shoes, socks, even the roof of the tent though she was particularly impressed with a crisp wrapper that had been left that she staged to be a feast for bugs. Okay, so it wasn't much at all, and despite initially being pissed that Margaery interfered as of now she couldn't say she cared at all. There were tons of ways to get her back, and she was sure that Arya would probably have tons of ideas but this was more of a harmless prank and she was somewhat proud of it.
The time was just going 21:35 as they finished and she was rather unsure of what they were doing next, they still needed to move her stuff to his tent at some point but knowing Jon he'd have something else on the agenda before that. Dany had no idea where they were going as Jon pulled her away from Robb and Margaery's tent,
"Are we going back to the tent now?" she asked as she looked around trying to find some sort of semblance to their surroundings. It was dark now and as such most of the trees and bushes all looked the same, and though she was kind of looking forward to heading back to the tent, she wanted the chance to prepare herself…
"You sound eager," Jon mocked. A sly grin on his face as he bumped shoulders slightly and pulled her along, "Are you planning on getting Arya and Gendry back?" he asked over his shoulder not breaking stride. It was in the plan, though she wasn't sure she wanted to go to war with Arya, who she imagined was already plotting some scheme to get Daario or Joffrey back for earlier, probably Daario with the way he was attempting to rile her up…
"I think we should probably get them back another time," she decided, or not… Dany shrugged pulling on his hand and stopping him from pulling her along any further. "Where are we going?" she asked, again. Jon turned around to face her raising his eyebrow and narrowing his eyes slightly,
"Wherever I want to go," Jon stated quietly, taking a step closer. "Is that a problem?" he asked. There was a smile playing on his lips as he tried to keep a straight face and she found herself biting her lip squaring up against him and getting pulled into a kiss. Jon broke the kiss his finger moving to her lips to silence her as he tilted his head to listen. Dany did the same looking at him puzzled as she heard singing in the distance, the closer they got the more she was sure it was Robb and Margaery and as they passed a few more tree's Jon pulled her backwards and she looked up to see them. Robb was leaning against the stump of a tree with two bottles of wine leaned against him while Margaery was dancing, by dancing she was waving her arms in the air and spinning around, while they sung along to a song like the adorable romantic arseholes they were.
"I got you to hold my hand," Marg sang with a huge sigh, looking towards Robb.
"I got you to understand," Robb slurred smiling brightly as he looked towards Marg. The two were ridiculously in love and watching them she couldn't lie she wished she had all that but Robb and Marg were an anomaly, Missy and Grey were exactly the same.
"I got you to walk with meeeeeee," Marg continued giggling to herself as Robb reached out for her hand though she was just out of reach. It was cute how they were singing the duet together, one verse at a time as they continued on,
"I got you to talk with me,"
"I got you to kiss goodnight," Marg sang as she twirled around clumsily pausing to air-kiss towards Robb who laughed and pretended to catch the kiss in his hand. Dany was sure she could stand and watch the performance all night, sparing a glance at Jon who looked on in amusement,
"I got you to hold me tight,"
"I got you to hold my hand,"
"I got you to understand," Dany couldn't help but laugh as they started the verse again, drawing Robb and Margaery's attention. The singing trailed off as they stepped out from behind the tree while Margaery stopped her somewhat dancing to stare at the two of them. Dany laughed as she looked at them properly, they were both shit faced.
"Shouldn't you two be heading back?" Jon suggested a grin on his face as Robb needed to use the tree to help him up to his feet. It would be a miracle if they could make it back to their tent at all…
"He-hey," Robb slurred, very nearly falling forwards until he managed to catch himself, "We're fine," he said smiling somewhat carefree. Jon rolled his eyes as they moved closer and she turned her attention to Margaery.
"Marg, you okay?" she asked watching the way Marg moved her hands to her hips, her head lolling from side to side as she looked from Jon to her and back again.
"Gods, you-u two are soo cuteeeee," Margaery said with a laugh, clapping her hands together like a giddy child. Dany ignored the comment reaching out to steady her when she took a step and nearly face planted the floor, they couldn't even walk in a bloody straight line and glancing at Jon she knew they needed to help them back to their tent. There goes the prank, though getting them safely back was more important. "I s-saw y-you," Margaery whispered. It was proving to be more difficult to get them back to their tent with all the stopping and starting, though Jon was managing to keep a better hold of Robb pulling him on while Margery stopped, spreading her arms out to keep her balance. She was still swaying slightly but once she felt she was okay once more she leaned in giggling to herself, "I saw you kiss," Margaery laughed pulling away and pressing her finger to her lips as she smiled. Dany couldn't think of when or how, but she couldn't help laugh at how enthusiastic Margaery was. When they started walking once again, Jon and Robb was waiting for them and she had to ensure listening to Robb blabbering on about eyes in the night with Margaery in her drunk state hanging on to every word he said looking about between the trees absolutely terrified.
When their tent came into view Marg decided now was the time to attempt to undress Robb while Robb was mumbling about food clearly not looking where he was going because Jon had to pull him back so he didn't walk into the charred remains of the small camp fire.
"I'm hungry," Robb sighed as he quickly made a show of patting down his pockets,
"Robb, I want you," Margaery purred, dragging her bottom lip between her teeth and flicking her hair over her shoulder. Dany snickered and Jon moved Robb away from Margaery clearly not wanting them to start any of that,
"I-I could just eat some chocolate…" Robb trailed off as he started checking his pockets again, once Dany was sure Marg could no longer hurt herself she let her go and turned to Jon who pulled out his phone to record the sceptical of Robb checking his left jeans pocket before moving to his right, he frowned then his hand bumping into his nose as he tried to rub his head, his eyes widening before he was patting his pockets down all over again.
"R-ROBB, O-OHMM-YFUCKINGGOD BUGGGGSS, B-BUGS," Margaery squealed wobbly running and hiding behind Robb, peering over his shoulder at the trail of bugs that they'd spent bloody ages staging. Dany laughed at the spectacle the humour quickly fell away when she saw how upset Marg was getting in her drunken state. "Kill them… K-kill t-those hor-bugs," Margaery commanded, hiccupping slightly as she pushed Robb forwards and moved further back to hide behind Jon. Dany managed to catch Robb just before he could fall into the tent, managing to steady him on his own feet.
"You stay there, I'll get the bugs okay," Jon smiled as he pulled away from Margaery but she wasn't having any of it, clinging to his jumper and making sure he got rid of them. Dany quickly moved into the tent to help, managing to hide most of the one's inside while Jon stuck the trail into his pocket but made a show of throwing them into the bushes for Margaery's sake.
"I could just eat some spare ribs," Robb slurred sighing happily as if he could just picture those ribs. She peered out the flap happy that he was still stood there and hadn't wandered off or hurt himself. Robb managed to gain Margaery's attention long enough for Jon to hide the remaining bugs inside the tent. Dany climbed out the tent as Margaery celebrated by clambering in to Robb and kissing him sloppily, she grimaced as Robb did his best to undress Margaery celebrating with a laugh as he managed to undo a button on her jeans,
"Right, I think it's time for us to go. Will you two be alright?" Jon asked quickly. Margaery smiled pulling away from Robb to inspect the tent, "See, there's no more bugs…"
"No, t-theeerreess more" Margaery whined, "Bugs… Seeeee," she pointed into the tent causing Jon to curse under his breath.
"Stay right there, I'll get it okay…" Jon trailed off as he climbed into the tent making a show of capturing a real bug. "Come here you little bastard,"
"Kill them, those aw-awful…" Marg trailed off as Jon cursed slapping the fake bug before he picked it up and made a show of throwing it into the bushes. Dany glanced towards her to see her press her hand to her mouth. "I-I t-think I'm…" Margaery trailed off. Dany managed to pull Marg away from Jon and moved away in time as she hurled all over the lip of the tent, narrowly missing their shoes. The smell was revolting and she swallowed hard trying to stop herself from gagging. Thankfully she wasn't alone in her suffering as Jon looked at Margaery like she was some kind of mad queen while Robb frowned stepping over the puke, just, as he laid on the sleeping bag like nothing happened. Jon left her to get some water to wash away the puke while she spent longer than she planned getting the due settled. The experience tired Marg out completely, and Dany grabbed the mouth wash so she could rise her mouth out before watching her climb into bed quickly with Robb following after her, snuggling up. Dany smiled at their display scattering a few of the bugs around for a morning to surprise before zipping the tent up and leaving them for the night. Jon came back with a bucket of water and she helped in the attempt to clean the sick away but no matter what they did the smell still lingered. There was nothing to do about it now, they'd probably have to move the tent at some point tomorrow… She felt a little tired as they headed out fighting back a yawn as Jon pulled her along,
"Tired are we," Jon said, bumping shoulders with her again, as she followed after him. It was becoming annoying as he navigated the island like he knew every nook and cranny while she was still wondering around aimlessly,
"A little bit," she replied wrapping her arm around his and leaning her head against his shoulder. "I'm still awake enough to face whatever you throw at me,"
"Are you sure?" Jon asked as they stopped. "I can take you back to your tent to get some sleep if you want…" she didn't believe him in the slightest, his eyes betrayed how he truly felt about her sharing a tent with Theon.
"Are you going to tell me where we're going yet?" she asked, choosing to ignore everything else.
"Well…" he trailed off, a smile playing on his lips before he continued, "We're going on an adventure," Jon sang, reaching out and grasping her hand to pull her along. Dany shook her head, taming the smile as they passed tree by tree; catching a glimpse of one of the weirwood trees she saw when they were playing capture the flag. Jon pulled her past the tree, through a few more before they walked out into a clearing. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared in wonder at their surroundings, it was beautiful. They were surrounded by 14 weirwood trees all standing tall the white of the barks almost glowing in the night a stark contrast to the faces carved into them or the red dew leaking from their eyes and mouths. The clearing seemed be bathed in red leaves that had fallen over time and as she made her way to the centre she looked up beyond the space in the tree canopy to see the stars. Dany smiled, taking it all in before she turned towards Jon and pulled him close, wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing him into a kiss,
"It's beautiful," she whispered as they pulled away to breathe, it truly was beautiful and standing there with the carved faces seemingly watching them it did kind of feel sacred.
"I thought you might like it," he replied equally quiet.
"Have you been here before?"
"Yes," he sighed, "One of my uncle's friends recommended I come here when I was er struggling. So I brought my pup, my sleeping bag, a tent and spent 3 days exploring the whole island," Jon explained. There was so many questions she wanted to ask him, she figured out the struggling had something to do with him leaving the army and it was around that time he met Daario but she still didn't want to ask him… He would tell her when he was ready. Dany nodded glancing around before she focused back on him,
"So I guess the real question is whether or not you found the X that marked the spot," she asked, pressing a light peck against his lips. Jon smiled, brushing his nose against hers before he pressed a lingering kiss to her lips, drawing his tongue along her lips until she opened her mouth to kiss him properly. Dany was sure she felt her legs give way grasping hold of him,
"Lay down," Jon whispered as they broke away. She bit her lip not sure she wanted to fool around here, of all places. "Are you going to do what I say or not?" Jon asked. He was watching her intently and she shook her head before slowly sitting on her arse, laying back and sticking her hood up so she didn't get the leafs and whatever else stuck in her hair. Her hands were shaking as she looked up and saw him watching her, looking at her as if he was going to pounce though he didn't.
"What now?"
"Spread your legs," he said as he crossed his arms over his chest as he slowly took a step forwards. Dany swallowed hard and did as he said bending her knees and spreading her legs though he dragged her foot so her legs were flat on the ground. "Now spread your arms,"
Dany paused looking up at him, not quite sure where he was going with this but again doing as he said. She spread her arms out beside her and looked towards him again,
"There X marks the spot," Jon laughed and she found herself laughing as he rounded her and laid down above her with his head right next to hers, like in the movies.
"So are you saying I'm treasure?" Dany asked as she watched him, his head tilting her way before he caught her staring and stared to the sky once more.
"Oh gods no, I'm saying you mark the spot where the treasure is buried!"
"Dick," she mumbled, pouting as he laughed. Looking at him there was a smile on his face as he stared into the sky and she followed his gaze looking into the starry sky. It was peaceful just lying there in the quiet, she couldn't hear anything from camp or the others and in some ways it felt like they were truly alone.
"So what do you see?" Jon asked after they had been silent for a time. They had still been stealing glances at each other but she could feel an apprehension slowly creeping in as the minutes ticked by… She really want to know what he had planned and it was beginning to annoy her. It was a nice distraction as she glanced up at the stars, tracing the shapes with her fingers.
"Do you want my weird thoughts or the actual constellations?" she asked as she looked to the stars,
"Well as interesting as constellations are I want to know what you see," Jon answered as he turned his head to the side and pressed a chaste kiss to her hair. Dany shook her head, really wishing he would stop doing that, stop making it as intimate as it was. They weren't together, this wasn't a date but no matter how much she wanted it to stop she loved it. How, it somehow felt like they had been doing this for years. Dany shook the thought and looked back up at the stars.
"Okay, so what do you see?" she asked,
"You see that there?" Jon asked, she followed his finger as he pointed to a star, trailing his finger along a cancellation, "That looks like a monkey's tail,"
"What about the rest of the monkey?"
"There doesn't need to be one," Jon stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world,
"So why not a question mark then?"
"Okay smart arse…" Jon sighed, "Fine, I suppose it could be an elephant's trunk,"
"You're an idiot," she laughed shaking her head glancing his way as he pouted and pressed a hand to his heart,
"I have feelings you know," Jon whispered, thought there was a smile betraying him, "I deserve a kiss now." Dany shook her head, wandering if he smiled this much in the real world…
"You don't deserve one," she stated. Jon snorted glancing her way,
"You know what I can't figure out… On the first night in the hotel you wore that dragon onesie and yet when we shared the tent you wore next to nothing… Why is that?" he asked as he watched her intently. She tried her best not to react to it,
"I wanted a massage, it didn't make sense wearing the onesie when I'd have to take it off to give you access to my back," she replied quickly. That was part of it, she also was sleeping in her own sleeping bag and a tiny part wanted to tease him.
"Maybe if you're lucky, I'll give you another massage tonight," Jon suggested. Dany watched him narrowing her eyes trying to figure out why, what did he get out of it? What would she need to do?
"So what's the catch?"
"You'll have to wait and see…" Jon replied. Dany clamped her mouth shut climbing up and curling against him, deciding that it was better to wait and see what he had in store for her. There was the possibility that anything could happen tonight and for some stupid reason, that fact excited her more than anything.
