rlly want to dance with robb stark đ Iâm talking early season 1 Winterfell Robb, and itâs probably at the revel arranged for the Baratheons, and he just squeezes your hand and shoots you a grin and then heâs pulling you to your feet
And ur both laughing even though nothing is funny, grinning at each other like lovesick idiots, and Catelyn is just watching u like âfucking hell these kids are obliviousâ
your brain. this is so freaking cute hattie :( itâs like such a need id rank it over water
you try to scoff, but the same substance warming your cheeks and loosening your tongue makes it come out as a guffaw. âI am absolutely not.â
theonâs laugh leads the beginning of his next retort. âOh, you absolutely are.â
your mouth drops open at such an accusation. you turn to touch the shoulder of robb sitting next to you, who is in the middle of arm-wrestling one of lord glovers sons.
âRobb,â his head turns slightly to look at you, arm shaking from the effort he exudes. âAm I drunk?â
one glance to theon tells him exactly whatâs going on. he cracks a smile, but seems to still have the wisdom to feign ignorance. âWhat, you?â he shakes his head. âNever.â
cheers erupt from beside you as robb slams his opponents arm to the table. theon rolls his eyes â somehow loudly.
proper and courteous is how the welcome celebrations started, as most do in the north. and as most do, after the first cups of liquid misbehavior were poured things had (not at all) steadily devolved from there. as is evident by the king of the seven kingdoms and his face, which is currently buried between the breasts of a (willing) lady.
music flows, yelling voices mix, the occasional fight or two erupting when men lose bets they wagered their best donkeys on â itâs a boisterous atmosphere. itâs your favorite kind.
âThat one,â theon points out. âIn the yellow.â
you and robbâs heads move in sync trying to pinpoint the greyjoys latest victim. robb is seemingly more coordinated than you.
âHer?â he asks after a mere second. eyes still scanning the room, youâre about to voice your troubles when robbâs hand comes to turn your jaw in the direction heâs looking. a small oh falls from your mouth.
youâre looking at a â very pretty â lady, but all you can truly focus on is the gentle grasp of fingers on your jaw. itâs a cheek-heating gesture, warmth joining with your already-warm pulse to create a hot and fuzzy thrum beneath your skin.
theon hums, voice bringing you back to reality. âSheâll be getting familiar with my chambers ceilings quite soon.â
robbâs face is one of doubt while yours is more of disgust. âYouâre unbelievably lewd.â
the hand cupping your jaw leaves to aid its owner in sipping his ale â you mourn the loss of contact. âAnd youâre unbelievably listening. Perhaps you should watch as she fawns over me.â
robb laughs into his cup. âPerhaps if sheâs drunk as well, she might.â
âLaugh now,â theon says, continuing to stare as the dance floor opens up, and he sees the woman stand to find a partner. he stands as well. âYou all laugh now.â
the music changes into something of a faster rhythm â a familiar dance to many whoâve grown up in the north. noticing it, you and robb both look at each other. you glance at theon and the dance floor, and robb shoots you a grin before grabbing your hand and pulling you to your feet.
you feel light in this moment. airy, like youâre stepping on clouds. itâs warm, the night is young, and so are you. robbâs touch soothes that uncomfortable itch you have when winesung & without it. your eyes trace the curve of robbâs jaw as he leads you through the crowd, and though he can feel you close behind, he still glances to check youâre there. that youâre not just there, but here, with him in time right now. sometimes he has to remind himself youâre real. if only he could tell you so.
a pair of eyes gaze at you both from the table the queen and king currently sit at. they hold a certain fondness, though it's heavily veiled in lieu of company.
catelyn knows that look. sheâs seen it in petyr's eyes when gazing at her many times, and it's quite a heartwarming sight when it is returned... if only she ever did (return)
