Notes: It's been a while!

How are you all?

I want to thank you all for all the love and patience you've shown me while I was writing this work. You're the best.

Also, this chapter is just talking, since they're organizing their relationship, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Chapter 15

Sansa had had her fair share of awkward conversations, but this one would probably take the cake.

Once it started.

For now they were all basking in the mortifying silence.

Greywind and Ghost had immediately taken to her side, their gigantic heads competing for space on her lap. Their/eyes were fixed on Jon and Robb, though. As if they knew that -somehow -they had something to do with Sansa's absence.

Sansa was silent because she was a coward and she'd rather they started this conversation. Robb and Jon -for their part -seemed to be having some mental conversation, as they just kept trading looks.

"Should I go first?" Sansa offered.

Robb cleared his throat. "Sure."

Sansa took a deep breath in. "I want to make one thing clear, in case I haven't yet. I don't hate you two. I'm not upset over what happened. This was never the case." She sighed. "And I'm really sorry if I made you two feel like I was."

Robb opened his mouth, but Sansa raised her hand, asking him to wait. "I need to say this, it's important to me."

She waited until they both nodded, before continuing. "For a long time, I was… I guess I still am afraid of wanting things. I feel greedy when I wish for things some people take for granted. I'm afraid of letting people in, in case they break my heart and leave. I'm afraid of not being enough."

She lowered her eyes to the dogs' heads on her lap, her fingers sunken on their fur. "You two make me feel particularly greedy." She confessed. "Every moment I spent with you made me crave more and more, to the point that I felt there could never be enough. To be quite honest, at first I didn't know exactly what I wanted from you. I thought it was the feeling of safety you gave me. You never pushed, not really." She looked at them. "And I'm not an idiot, I knew you both wanted more than friendship."

Robb chuckled and Jon looked a bit embarrassed.

"But you never really pressed for more than I could give, even when I felt I had so little to give. You were so patient with me while I was skittish and downright rude. You were… There. Like no one else had been before."

Sansa hadn't realised she'd started crying until the first tear fell on her hand. Suddenly Jon and Roob were there, pushing the dogs away and kneeling by her. They just held her hand, but it was Sansa who'd launched herself at them, putting her arms around their necks.

They hugged on the floor in a tangle of limbs, while Ghost and Greywind found a way to get themselves in the middle of it all.

Sansa hid between them, crying and clinging to their T-shirts. "I'm so sorry."

"You have nothing to apologize for, Sansa." Robb assured her, his lips pressed against her temple. "Nothing."

"Look at us, love." Jon asked softly.

It took a while for her to feel strong enough to do so, but Jon and Robb waited patiently while she untagle herself from them. As soon as she looked at them, Jon used his thumb to wipe away her tears.

"Be greedy." Jon told her. "Be demanding. Ask for everything you want from us."

"We should've been clearer, and we should've talked about this more, but now it's done." Robb sighed. "The point is: we do want you, both of us. We want to be there for you all the time, we want to take care of you." He cupped her face. "This will probably be hard, and people will talk about it, but we don't care. We are in love with you We've been for a while now."

Sansa looked at Jon for confirmation, and he just nodded at her.

"Why don't we take this slowly?" Robb finally offered.

"Slowly?" She repeated carefully.

"Yes, like properly dating." He pushed on. "We spend time together not as friends, but as people that want to have a relationship. No pressure, but with open communication. I think we missed that part." He teased her, and Sansa let out a watery chuckle.

"I think it's a good plan." Jon offered. "This is new for us as well. Robb and I never thought about dating the same person, so it'll be an adjustment for all of us."

"If you want to give us a chance, we want to do this the right way." Robb continued. "There's no hurry."

"No hurry? No pressure?" Sansa checked.

"None whatsoever." Robb confirmed.

She sighed. "Well, if you can put up…"

"Don't even finish that sentence." Jon frowned.

Sansa rolled her eyes. "I see how this is going to be. Fine. Let's try this."
