AN: I did say some Jaime/Cersei was on the way, right?
"Jaime, hold still," she pouted as her twin made a bored face. The siblings had been standing face to face for almost thirty minutes now, trying on different facial expressions to see if they could mimic each other better. Cersei insisted she needed her pout to be more of a manly one while Jaime refused point blank that the shape of his eyes were too feminine.
"Seven Hells! Can't we just admit we're growing up different?" the boy asked irritably, making his twin's gaze garden into a stubborn glare. They would never be different, not if she could help it.
He grew up big and strong, a perfect mould for a knight and a son to be proud of. His personality spoke volumes and his sword at tourneys showed no mercy. Indeed, he was the lion himself.
She grew up exquisite and beautiful beyond compare, alluring and enchanting to all those who set eyes on her. The envy of every lady in court and the pride of her house. Indeed, she was a true lioness.
But together, the twins achieved something none of them could as individuals. Perfect harmony – and the knowledge that someone will always love them beyond measure.
She's never told Jaime that it was only his steadily burning green eyes that kept her going through childbirth as he held her hand. At one point, everything in the room had faded to black, except the eyes that looked just like hers, telling her that she could do it.
He's never told Cersei how scared he was when she was in labour with their firstborn. There was so much blood and the child's head was all wrong. The only thing that stopped Jaime from losing his mind was her determined look, silently telling him she would not give up.
End Note: I realize this ship isn't the most popular (especially after the appearance of Brienne, Maid of Tarth) and I always used to justify my liking for it. Until I realized I didn't really have to. I have the right to like a ship (no matter how unlikely, creepy, wrong, etc) just as much as anyone else. So yes, no more justifications, simply more fics on them. :)
