I awoke with a splitting headache and the feel of someone's warm breath on the back of my neck. Tyrion? Only it couldn't have been. Tyrion had gotten married. A wedding I was supposed to have attended, but had instead opted to get blindingly drunk in some no name tavern with a squire, who flushed mightily if spoken to with the right amount of sweetness. I slowly sat up, realizing I was naked as the stranger made a distressed noise in the back of his throat. I turned quickly to see Podrick, chest naked, slumbering peacefully beside me. Oh no. Tell me I didn't. I lifted the blanket, breathing a sigh of relief when I saw he still had his pants firmly around his waist.
"Pod?" I shook him gently, smiling as he whined before opening his eyes and taking me in. I tried to recall how we'd ended up in bed together, but the day seemed to blend in a swirl of colors and emotions, no details really making themselves clear.
"What happened?" I asked as he sat up, pressing his arm against mine as he tried to wake up.
"You drank a lot. We both did really. You said something about leaving on a ship. Then we kissed." He recounted as his eyes squinted with recollection. "We kissed a lot." I nodded, the numbness washing over me again.
"There will be a celebration for the wedding. Are you attending?" Pod asked as he reached over and snatched his discarded shirt from the floor.
"I don't really have a choice. Someone has to watch Sansa." Even though the thought of drinking anymore made my stomach churn unpleasantly.
"I'll see you there then?" I knew that hopeful look, and I should have let him down then, but I was lonely. Don't I deserve someone to?
"You should get back to his royal pain before he begins to worry." I instructed as I stepped from the covers, unabashed by my nudity while I walked to retrieve a new dress. If only I had one in black. It would suit how I feel. I thought darkly as I snatched up one of deep violet.
"So, I won't be seeing you there?" He asked, confusion painted across his face as he stood and merely stared at me.
"Until we meet again Pod." I laughed with a wink, before he rushed from my room. Leaving me to get ready for the grand celebration. I know I said I wouldn't drink anymore, but maybe I'll just have one.
