Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack
The nights were warm in Qarth, she barely needed blankets to cover her much less someone else to help keep her warm. Daenerys didn't long for someone to sleep beside her because she was cold though, she longed for someone to sleep beside her because she was lonely.
Viserys would have complained that it was too hot to sleep in the same bed, but he would have held her all the same. He could be cruel at times, but she was never lonely when he was there. Whatever else he was, he was always her family.
Daenerys tossed the sheets off of herself and rolled over in her bed. Viserys had been a lot of things, but among them numbered brother. And it was her brother she missed on the nights like these.
Rising Daenerys walked to her three dragons, sleeping as soundly as she wished she were. Reaching over she picked the cream up in her arms. Viserion protested with a soft screech but tucked his head into her shoulder. Her fingers walked the soft scales as she went back to bed, taking the little dragon with her.
It was too hot to sleep with him tucked against her, he was hot like baking bricks. But in that moment - she felt less alone.
