Chapter Fifty: Not What You Think

Loras's Point of View

Meera is not pregnant, it was a false alarm, but she had to have surgery to have a tumor removed from one of her ovaries. She was in the hospital for a few days.

At least she is not pregnant. That would be bad. Robb does not need that right now. He has Torrhen, and that's enough. Torrhen will be a year old in a couple days, Renly and I are planning a party to surprise Robb.

Renly is helping me decorate his apartment. I am hanging the paper chain I spent a week making. Its thirty feet long and mixed colors of blue and gray.

I stand on a step ladder to hang the chain. Renly is holding my waist. He tickles me, I swat his hand. He tries to cop a feel and that earns him a playful kick.

"I am not a sex toy," I tell him.

"You want it as much as I do," Renly says.

"You're wrong."

"You're a bad liar."

"Its inappropriate to call a prince a liar."

"But you are a liar."

I am holding out on Renly. We have a bet going. I am determined to win. Renly tugs on my jeans, but they are not going to budge. I kick at him. He pulls me down from the step ladder I am standing on. We wrestle.

I land atop him on the sofa. I pin his arms down as I gyrate my hips. I grind against him. I can feel his arousal through two pairs of denim. I thrust against him and he moans.

I become firm as well, Renly starts rubbing me through my jeans. I kiss him slowly to enjoy the feel of his lips. I bite his bottom lip. He squeezes my butt as our tongues dance.

Renly tugs at my zipper, but before he can do anything Willas walks in. Renly and I untangle ourselves and jump apart to act as though nothing happened. I put a pillow on my lap.

"I understand you're getting married and you've probably had sex a dozen times, but I don't want to see you touching my little brother like that again."

"He's mine to touch," argues Renly.

Its like I am not even here.

"No. He's a prince, treat him like one."

"Mind your own business. What Loras and I do in bed is none of your business."

"True, but you're not in bed, you're in the open where I can see you. So keep your hands off."

"You wouldn't have this issue if I were a woman touching him."

"I have twice the issues if you were a woman."

"Fuck you, Willas."

How do they not see me? Renly goes into his bedroom and slams the door. I stare at my brother. Willas kisses the top of my head like I am a child.

"I was putting the moves on him," I confess.

"He needs to respect you outside the bedroom."

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"He is a mouthy shit. I don't want to see him grab you like that again."

"Can you even hear me?"

"I brought some stuff for Tor's party."

I guess not. While Willas is getting out the stuff he brought I sneak over to Renly's room. I knock on the door.

"Go away, Willas."

"Its Loras."

"Oh. I'm sorry, my flower, I need a moment."

I nod and rejoin my brother. He brought letter stencils. I make the words, "Happy Birthday, Torrhen," and double check my spelling. Renly comes out when I am cutting out letters. He kisses me on the lips and grabs the cake ingredients and starts to make Tor's cake from scratch.

"You don't have to get married, Loras," Willas says, "You can always back out."

"I am in love with Renly and I want to be with him."

"But there are other men."

"I want him."

"You are a stubborn little thing," Willas says smiling. He pinches my cheek. "Where's Margaery?"

"She's spending the day with Robb."

"Is that a good idea?" Renly asks from the kitchen.

"Not from Robb's point of view. Margaery has no romantic feelings for Robb so I think they should be okay. They planned to take a picnic to Meera at the hospital."

"That's sweet. How is she?"

"Better. Though she may never conceive. Her chances dropped from 20% to 12%. When she thought she was pregnant because she missed two periods was from the tumor."

"Those kids don't need children right now."

I nod. I look at Renly, he winks at me then goes back to work on that cake. I get all my letters cut out and begin gluing them to a banner.

Renly and Willas drop everything and look at me like I have the plague. Willas touches my face to see if I have a temperature. My arms are breaking out in red bumps and patches.

"Are you allergic to Peaches?" Renly asks.

"No, I think its this glue," I say because I am covered in it. I sniff the glue for a moment and that only makes it worse.

Willas and Renly take me to a clinic for shots after I begin to swell up. Once the doctor gives me a shot I start to feel better. They are going to do some allergy tests to see if I am allergic to the glue.

They buy me some ice cream on the ride home. Renly and Willas argue over whose fault this is. I ignore them and their stupidity.

"Are you getting divorced?" I ask.

"Don't be stupid, Loras."

"Don't call him stupid," says Renly.

"Shut up," I say, "I am seventeen, I can make decisions myself. I am not a child. Please stop treating me like one. The allergic reaction was no one's fault. So please stop arguing."

"He's right," says Willas.

They stop fighting. They stop talking entirely. Gendry is home when we get back to the apartment. Willas and Renly have made up. I roll my eyes. Gendry finishes gluing the letters on. I cover it in glitter to avoid using the glue. Peaches rubs against my legs.

"I took Arya to the movies," Gendry says.

"What'd you see?"

"The Battle of the Trident."

"I want to see that, but Renly hates war movies."

"It was so good."

"Don't spoil it for me."

"I won't."

"I am not taking you to see it," Renly says, "I want to see My Florian."

I roll my eyes, a love story. I love Love Amongst the Dragons, but this is ridiculous.

Renly resumes making his cake. Gendry finishes the banner. It looks good. Some of the glitter is not sticking and its getting everywhere. I laugh as it falls out of my hair.

"You have glitter dandruff," says Gendry.

I laugh. I get a text from Robb.

Robb: I am surrounded by girls. Can we spend some together?

Me: Will you take me to the movies?

Robb: Sure.

Me: See you soon.

Robb comes over to pick me up. We do not let him in the apartment. Renly is upset that I am leaving with Robb. I give him a kiss and reassure him I am his and only his.

Torrhen is not here. He's with Jeyne today. She decided she wants to make more of an effort with Torrhen. Robb is so happy about that. He wants Jeyne to be in her son's life.

"I caught Aegon kissing Meera while she was sleeping," Robb says. Technically Meera did not cheat because she did not kiss back or know about it.

"So?"

"Sansa said he put the moves on her."

"He's cheating on my little sister?" I ask.

"Some lord, huh?"

"Where is my sister?"

"With my sisters," Robb says.

I want to hit him. No one hurts Margaery. She is my sister and she means the world to me.

We get to the theater and I buy our tickets. Robb buys popcorn. We find seats and watch the movie. I am satisfied when the film is over, except that the good looking man died.

"That was excellent," says Robb.

"Who's this pretty little boy?" A scary man asks. He corners me in the bathroom. Robb is washing his hands. The man grabs my hips. "He even smells pretty."

"Let him go!" Robb says.

"Why don't you let him make that decision?" The man touches my cheek. I grab his hand to pull it away from me, but he pins my arms back.

"Get off."

"Come on, pretty, let me have you for one night."

"Never."

Robb is trying to get to me, but he is stuck between two other men who are trying to prevent him from helping me.

"I bet you can do some good stuff with this pretty mouth."

"If I do will you let me go?"

The man laughs. That's the thing I remember. When I come to, Robb and I are in the back of a vehicle tied up and half naked. I lay my head on Robb's shoulder.

"I am going to get us out of this," Robb says. He is gnawing on his binds. I smile. I wish I owned a knife.

"What happened?" I ask.

"They knocked you out and I came along because they threatened to kill you if I didn't. They made me strip you. I wouldn't let any of them touch you."

"Thank you."

"Does this happen to you a lot?" Robb asks.

"You'd be surprised. Its not kidnapping, its usually someone tries to sleep with me."

"Not this time."

"What time is it?"

"Its only been a few hours since they kidnapped us."

"Where are our phones?"

"They took them."

"Of course they did."

Robb manages to get one arm loose. He works his other bind and it falls off. He quickly gets me. We find our jeans. The men took our shirts. Robb kicks at the door of the van. I help him. With our combined weight we break out. We jump from the moving vehicle and tuck and roll.

Robb helps me up and we take off running. They realize we broke out and start to chase us. Robb takes my hand and we run without looking back.

His legs are longer than mine and he runs faster, but he stays at my pace. Robb and I flag down a woman in a car. She let's us in. We're both out of breath.

We go to the police station and from there call Willas. Robb gives the police a detailed description of the kidnappers. They are apparently working for the Lannisters who want me taken alive. That means those men knew who Robb and I were and they were not there by accident.

Willas brings me and Robb clothes. Margaery is picked up by security and brought to the station. She is not happy about it, but they have to keep her safe.

"You were kidnapped?" Margaery asks.

"Yes," I say. I tell her what Robb did for me. Margaery kisses him right on the lips for protecting me. She uses tongue. Robb is caught off guard.

"You are my hero," she tells him. He's breathing heavily. I shake my head. Renly fusses over me. He hugs me as if I am going to leave him forever. He kisses my cheeks repeatedly.

"Never. I will never let anyone have you. You're mine. You're mine to care for. They can't have you. Ever."

I hate the possessiveness in his words, but I let it roll off my shoulders. I hug him back. I feel scared now. I was not scared when Robb and I were taken, but I am now.

Robb was so brave. Renly hugs him and kisses him right on the mouth. Robb tries to break free but Renly is kissing his cheeks over and over.

"You kept him safe. I owe you everything."

"Stop kissing me."

Renly kisses him one time.

"Get off."

"Alright, let's go."

"Wait," I say.

"What if they're still out there," I say.

"They won't touch you," says Renly.

"He's right. Do you have a secret way out of here?" Willas asks.

The officer nods and takes us out a different way. Its a tunnel connecting the police station to the court house underground. It comes out to a door in the basement of the court house. The limo is waiting for us.

At Robb's I try to act like nothing happened, but it did. Robb and I sleep together tonight. I am lying next to him. He is trying to pretend he is not sleeping next to another man, even though this was his idea. His shirtless form beside me causes me to squirm.

Robb is almost as possessive as Renly. I know this is how its going to be until the wedding. Robb is going to keep a protective eye on me. I roll over away from him, but when I do, Robb takes me by the waist and pulls me close. I smile. For someone who does not like men, he enjoys having me close.

I play a game with him. I scoot away and he brings me back. I roll over to face him and put kisses on his neck. He slaps me. I grin and keep trying. He shoves his pillow in my face.

"You'll spoon me, but you won't touch me?"

"Correct."

"I am very good at certain things, things that men like. I could if you want," I say.

"If you try, I'll kill you." I grin.

"It won't hurt."

"Shut up and sleep."

I smile evilly. I rub Robb's thigh. He elbows me. He is actually not getting aroused by what I am doing so I stop. I let him hold me. Its what we both need right now.

In the morning, Robb's hardness is pressing against my backside. I know it has nothing to do with me because he keeps whispering Meera's name in his sleep. I try to get out of his arms, but that's near impossible.

"Stop squirming," Robb whispers.

"I have to pee."

"No. Five more minutes."

I lean into him. Rob finally wakes up after twenty minutes. He lets me out of his arms and I run to the bathroom. Robb is waiting outside the bathroom.

"I just needed to know you're okay."

My heart swells with love. This man loves me unconditionally, but in a platonic way. I let him go to the bathroom next. He asks me to keep talking to him so he knows I am fine.

"You can't keep doing this," I say when I barge in on him peeing. He tries to hide himself from me, but I have seen it before.

"And you can't keep doing this. Get out."

"I don't neee you to protect me."

Robb shakes it and puts it away. He washes his hands and leans against the sink. He stares at me. He says nothing, but he leaves. He stops and turns around.

"As long as we're friends, I will always, ALWAYS, protect you, and Margaery. Got it."

"Understood."

Robb asked Margaery to watch Torrhen and he left. I have no idea where he was going, but he seemed determined. Margaery and I exchanged worry glances. I put my arm around her.

"I'm worried about him," says Margaery.

"Me too."

Hey readers, its me. I wanted to let you know we almost done, but where one story ends another begins. I working on a spin-off featuring Bran and Rickon set six years after this story wraps. If you're interested, its called Wolves of Winterfell and the first chapter is posted.

So Loras and Renly's wedding approaches. I can't wait. Thanks for sticking it out with me. I know I disappointed a few of you, but for those of you who kept readjng, I appreciate it.

Oh, I wanted to confess a secret I based Loras and Robb's friendship off Merlin and Arthur from BBC's "Merlin" and Gordy and Chris "Stand By Me"
