Edit: it was like 4 in the morning when I posted this so I wrote Hollywood instead of Halloween, so sorry for any mistakes đ
âSo you must be Creganâ, said Aemond, he walked towards you, right over you like you didnât even exist and shook a confused Creganâs hand, âIâm Aemondâ, he said he then turn to you, âso long no seeâ, he muttered
âNo long enoughâ, you grumbled, Criston and the girls didnât even bother to say hello, looking everywhere with mixed messages of disgust, or curiosity, Cole seemed rather impressedÂ
It was like watching a car crash, one that you were involved in.
The collision was brutal, two groups of people had nothing in common against one another.Â
Aegon and Aemond had brought close friends of theirs, wich where Floris Baratheon, Criston Cole, Tabitha Florent, and Agnes Bracken, all of them from Dragonstone University, that as is, what a great turn off for the lot of you
They looked everywhere with⊠curious⊠gazes on them, they were not impressed
âThe place looks GOODâ, said Aegon, he is the only one who had seen it in its worse, and Aemond too, âgood jobâ
âMmmm what are you doing here?, asked Jace standing up. You felt Creganâs eyes on you, and you looked at him. You felt the little hairs on the back of your neck standing, electrified, you felt a deep gaze in you, you guessed it was Aemondâs.Â
Both of you both turned to Jace, who was discussing with an amused Aegon
âDaemon said I could have the house for the summerâ
âWhat it sounded to me, little nephew, is that this house is the familyâs summer house, and any of us can use itâ
âHe lent it to meâ, he said again.
âListen, nephew, this is our father's house as much as it Daemonâs, soâŠâ, said Aemond, âI want Rhaenyraâs roomâ
âI have that roomâ, you said fiercely. He looked back at you and smirked, you couldnât believe those were the first words you had said to him
âVery wellâ, he said, amused, he signalled to his friends and they all entered the house through the back door. Criston Cole had the audacity to look at you and smirk. You never liked him, he always gave you the creeps.
Jace whined pitifully when they were all out of ear-shot, you just looked back at him. But he didnât back down, he followed them into the house to see what they were up to.
They were three boys and three girls, and you also were two couples, this was becoming like a very cheap reality show.Â
âWell, this is weirdâ, said Sara, âwas that Aemond?â, she whispered/asked you, you looked back at her and nodded
âThe oneâ, you said, incredibly bored
âDammitâ
âHe is here to spite us, clearlyâ, you said, âbut this is certainly awfulâ
âTotally, we shouldnât have taken so short time to clean this up, they could have helped!â, she said, and now you were more bitter, they were going to enjoy the benefits of what you all spend an entire week doing, and that sucked
âWell, we still have the shackâ, you said gently, âour escape, Iâm glad Jace took photographic evidence of how the house was left before they arrivedâ, you muttered.
You didnât know what to think, the implication of having Aemond here was still falling on you slowly. Aegon though⊠he was always troubled. The black sheep of the family, he was a hard-partier, always getting into trouble, Alicent and Viserys having to work over-time because of his âmishapsâ and âmisunderstandingsâ. Letâs just say his career didnât go well, and he had a nice pile of DUIâs and tickets for public disruption, breaking an entering, destruction of property, indecent exposure, indecency altogether, drinking in public spaces, and⊠you didnât want to talk about the darkest one.Â
Letâs just say the Targaryen family fortune had dwindled significantly after paying up hush money for Aegonâs misgivings.Â
 You were more worried about him than Aemond, the latter one at least was⊠civil, you could talk to him, he understood reason and he hadn't been involved in an arson investigation two years back.Â
âPlease donât leaveâ, Jacaerys begged, coming back and sitting down next to Sara, she hugged him by his side. You looked at him with pity
âWe would never leave you here with them Jaceyâ, you said lowly
âI told Daemon but he said he couldnât do anything, he doesnât want to have problems with Viserys, or Alicentâ
âIâm just sad we didnât save any cleaning for those bastardsâ, you muttered, âif they arrived here first they wouldnât have stayedâ, you said, and the four of you laughed
âIt doesnât matterâ, said Cregan, he wrapped his arm around your shoulders, âweâll do our own thingâ, he said simply, âwe are all day at the shack most of the day anyways, right?â, he said simply
âRightâ, you all muttered, but you were not convinced. You were troubled, all by different reasons. That you felt like there was a camera pointing at you from every direction.Â
You didnât really want to think he came all this way just to upset you, but the evidence was very compelling, why else was he here? He preferred to take his vacations⊠elsewhere, some place more⊠fancy and elegant. And furthermore, in the path he was in? He already had internships lined up, he didnât enjoyed his vacations, he barely took his weekends off
Cregan just took a long sigh, watching the scene with increasing worry on his brow, his girlfriendâs ex was here, looking for trouble? Looking to get her back? Should he be concerned? He looked at your beautiful face, perched right by his side, and he decided he shouldnât be, not on your end.
But he was coming up against Aemond Fucking Targaryen, heir to a fucking dynasty, handsome, with an impeccable reputation (at least that the media knows of), and he seemed to be the image of perfection with each of his movements or each of his breath he took, so elegant and calculating.Â
But as you laughed on his hold, about something Sara said, as he saw how comfortable you were against him, he relaxed, he knew you had chosen him, above Aemond, he knew you loved him, in that short amount of timeâŠ. So he relaxed again right beside you, as the whole group tried to calm down after that surprise.
You completely ignored the other party as you finished your small barbecue and went to sleep, You took Creganâs hand as you gilded him upstairs, you felt Aemondâs gaze on you, not matter how much Floris was perched in his lap chatting him up.
As soon as you closed the door, you felt like you had to give some sort of explanation to Cregan, or at least some reassurance
âI donât know what he is doing hereâ, you said quicklyÂ
âI know this isnât your faultâ, he said with a soft smile
âBut I donât want to leave, this is our summer, our plans, we need to keep the shack goingâ
âI knowâ, he said, sitting on the edge of the bed, you went to him, and he hugged you tightly, placing his head on your mid body, âweâll just ignore himâ, he said simply
âThe house is big, I know weâll manageâ, you said dismissively.Â
That night you felt so weirded out, especially once someone you didn't see who it was opened the door to the room next to you and settled themselves there, that you couldn't do any funny business with Cregan.
But you made sure to wake up early, as you both were the first ones to come down.
You opened the fridge ready to start some eggs or something, but you found it mostly empty, in instead of breakfast food you found⊠booze
âWhereâs all the food?â, you asked out loud, âwhy is the fridge filled with beer⊠and NOTHING else?â
âSorry, we were hungryâ, said Aegon from the couch he was slumping in, is not that he woke up early, you guessed he never went to sleep in the first place
Cregan didnât say anything as he sat behind the kitchen bar
âDo you know where we can party around here?â
âNo!â, you said back, you only heard a grunt, and Aegon standing up and leaving
You started some toasts, as Cregan started the coffee, luckily you still had some of that, Sarah came down with hair all messy, Jace quickly followed, they booth grumbled when they made the same discovery as you did on the fridge
âHow good is the cooler in the shack? Because I think we could set up food thereâ, asked Jace
âLetâsâ, you invited, at that moment, Aemond came in, he was shirtless as he had been working out outside, of course he woke up before everyone else.
âGood morningâ, he greeted all of you, his eyes lingering on you. You four looked like you had been ran over in the middle of the desert
âLetâs get out of hereâ you offered when he left
Normally you would take turns, two of you would go to the Shack to open and the others could linger, but⊠this time you were all in a rush to get out of the house
You wondered when Baela and Rhena where going to come by
You took whatever you could to eat and fled the scene like criminals, in Daemonâs jeep, luckily they didnât claim that as well. You opened the shack and it didnât take long for customers to start coming, you were excited, word was getting spread and little kids came with their parents to rent boards and some plastic kayaks for beginnersÂ
It was a very full day, but that meant that you were already breaking even on the small investments you had made in the shack and it was fruitful, and Cregan was writing everything down to make his report for his class in the university. You were proud of him, and your friends, and you were happy with what you were doing.
You were so enthralled in your work that it wasn't until when the sun was set and you were done putting the kayaks away that you checked for phone
You screeched, making Cregan drop his notebook and Sara to push all the wrong buttons on the old cashing machine
âWHAT?â, she asked, frightened
âOBERYN MARTELL JUST TEXTED ME!â, you said hastily
âWHAT?â, asked Sara
âHE IS ASKING ME WHAT ARE WE UP TO AND IF THE FESTIVAL IS STILL ON!â, you screamed
âAH!â, screamed Cregan, as excited as you were
âWELL ANSWER HIM! ANSWER HIM!â, cheered Sara, screaming as loud
âWHY IS EVERYONE YELLING!?â, asked Jace, running into the Shack
âOBERYN JUST TEXTED ME!â, you said loudly
âAH!â, Jace let out a girly scream, and then you all started jumping in happiness grabbing one another.
âANSWER HIM! ANSWER HIM!â
âWAIT WAIT WAIT!â, said Cregan quickly, âis the festival still on?â
âWhat festival?â, asked Jace
âThe Lake festivalâ, you said, âmusic, dance?â
âThat thing is⊠has been a bit lame the last couple of yearsâ, he said, scratching the back of his neck.
âWhat are we going to tell Oberyn?â, you asked.
âWe need to do some reckonâ, said Jace. âyou and meâ, he said to you, âguys cover usâ, both Stark nodded as you both went outside and took the jeep
â... This is⊠awfulâ, like the shack, and Daemonâs abandoned house, it had potential, but the long esplanade where the festival was going to be held was⊠overgrown, the stage had⊠nothing to offer, and the flyers were just sad, poorly made
âSo itâs onâ, Jace said looking at a flyer he found on the ground, âsome of this bands are actually cool, it's just⊠a bit sadâ
âAgreeâ, you said, âwhat can we do though?â, you looked at your phone, Oberyn seems like an amazing guy outside of the screen, so you texted him back
âWhat are you doing?â. Asked Jace, alarmed
âTelling him the truthâ, you said politely, âthat the festival has potential, but we need his helpâ, you kept writing, you stole one of the flyers and contacted the organisers for the festival, and offered your help, Oberyn texted back hours later, expressing how he wanted to help as well, offering his presence as a presenter for the festival.Â
You got home late, and you found the house reeking of weed and beer, and as expected, nothing to eat, luckily you had picked something on the way.
âWhere were you?â, asked Aegon, âwe were hungry!â, he laughed, you looked at him with one of your eyebrows raised
âExcuse me?â, you asked him, âyou ate all our food, if anything, you could go and buy some moreâ
âWe were workingâ, said Jace, trying to calm the already tense scenery.Â
âWorking? We are supposed to be on vacationâ, mocked Aegon, you only shared looks with Cregan and Jace and went on your way inside the house.
You found a very weird scene in the kitchen, Aemond was wearing⊠nothing but shorts and an apron as he was cooking something, and he was cooking
But Floris was sitting in the kitchen counter, the shortest shorts on her and a crop top as she was clearly flirting heavily. Aemond offered her a taste of whatever he was cooking with the wooden spoon and you just stopped in your tracks when you heard her moan shamesly
They both stopped when they noticed you, Cregan and you frozen like deers in headlights.
You felt Aemondâs gaze on you
âWe can make the pizzas on the grillâ, you whispered, exiting the kitchen.
You didn't feel anything at all for Aemond being with someone else, a bit of disgust really, for the scene in general, but nothing at all. And you found yourself smiling, because it was so freeing. Cregan however, was frowning.
He had been your first great love, and as Cregan saw him, he thought about how different they were, how different Aemond was from himself, he seemed so⊠perfect, and he saw himself as someone⊠far from it.
He came to his senses when you whispered sweetly to him, to ask him to lit the fire, he snapped out of whatever he was thinking and smiled down at you
He needed to eliminate those thoughts from his mind, you wanted him, that was it.
You were positively destroyed when your tired body touched the comfortable mattress, but when Cregan got inside the bed right behind you, hugged you and nuzzled the side of your neck with his nose and his sweet lips, something quickly kindled inside your lower belly.
âMmmm hello thereâ, you teased, caressing his strong arms
âA very good night to you my loveâ, he murmured sweetly, kissing your weak spot right under your ear making you shiver. He moved you gently and slowly, making your back stuck to the mattress as you invited him between your legs, to get comfortable on top of you
He finally kissed you and you kissed him back.
What was it about summer that got you all horny?
You kissed him hungrily as you grabbed him by the back of his head, caressing the hair there, his soft deep black locks. You moaned when you felt how hard he was underneath the soft fabric of his pajama pantsÂ
âOH AEMOND!â, you both froze in your spots when you heard the high pitch moan coming from right across the wall, âOH YES!â
âWhat the fuck?â, asked Cregan, even in the dark you could see his grey eyes staring down at you in horror
âFUCK YES!â, this wasnât real, this was a scene completely made up, because there was no possible way those moans were real.
And then the bed in the room next door started slamming against the wall, YOUR WALL
You covered your ears childishly
âCanât listen to thisâ, mumbled Cregan, raising from the bed, this certainly soured your mood
You put a pillow over your head but that didnât help.
You jumped out of bed and after a look from Cregan you decided to change the entire room setting and change the bed (very loudly) to the other side of the room, nightstands and all, and then, your sweet boyfriend put on the old TV, and a VHS of a Disney movie you watched when you were kids to drown the pornographic noises
âIâm sorryâ, you mumbled, when you were back in his arms, all sexy thoughts leaving your mind
âYou have nothing to be sorry forâ, he whispered, kissing the top of your head
âI donât even know why he is here, this is not his scene at allâ, Cregan chuckled
âIsnât it obvious?â, he asked, âhe clearly wants to get on your nervesâ
âItâs psychoticâ, you offered, âis not like there's a chance weâll get back togetherâ, you said mindlessly, you cuddled into his chest, hiding your face in it, inhaling his scent, he smelt so good, it like everything about him was drawing you to him.
You slept cuddled onto him, finally able to have a peaceful night.
You offered to had the morning shift, and as soon as you were able, you snaked out of the house before you could see Aemondâs stupid triumphant grin
It was still super early, but you didnât care as Cregan layed you gently on the wooden floor of the small second floor of the shack
âShhh, clients could go in any minuteâ, he teased with a toothy grin, âI put the âopenâ sign inâ
âYou kinky bastardâ, you teased, he trapped your lips with him as he accommodated between your spread legs. Today you decided to wear a sundress, so, easy access for your boyfriend. You were both really horny and you were already wet for him, so you went straight to the main course.
âI love youâ, you sighed, as he teased your entrance with his thick fingers
âAnd I love youâ, he grunted, so needy for you, as much as you were for him
This was technically a quickie, so uncharacteristically of you and yet⊠It was delicious. He made sure to release your breasts front he confinements of your upper bathing suit and your dress, as you grabbed his cock and led him inside of you, making you both moanÂ
âFuck it feels so goodâ, you moaned
âFuckâ, he cursed.
A quickie is all you could get these days, and you were thankful for them
You shared complicit looks as you put on the shirts you had made to promote the shack, and Cregan went out there to fix the kayaks and boards, so the day started better than you hoped for.Â
But that didnât last long
It was past noon, where the four of you received a very unwelcome visit
âSo this is where you had been hiding atâ, teased Aegon, as the six of them showed up at your shack, coming out of the cars they rentedÂ
The girls snickered in between themselves
âWhat do you want?â, asked Jace, coming out to face the, group
âIuu its grossâ
âDoes it even have a bathroom?â, they whispered among themselves and you just pretended you didn't hear them. Cregan became a bit upset, since this was technically his baby, his idea, his project. So he went outside, pretending he needed to check on the rentals
As they all checked the inside you felt Aemond gaze on you, but you tried to pay them no mind, as Jace and Aegon went outside
âThis is justâŠâ, Aemond didnât finish his phrase, and you were there, outside by the rentals to hear him because it was your turn to mind the kayaks and boards, âdisgusting, who's dumb enough to come up with this?â, he asked
âStop it!â, you demanded, probably talking to him directly for the second time since he got here.Â
Cregan was in the docK, watching over a woman and their kid that were at the lake
âDid you really just dump me⊠for this?â, he asked
âNo, I dumped you because you cheated on me!â, you whispered angrily, âwith my teacher! Because you have a toxic personality! Because I didnât have anything to do in that horrible school!â
âI didnât make you do itâ, he saidÂ
âMaybeâ, you said, âbut you cheated on me, I donât know what happened to you Aemond, but, Iâm thankful for it, because I met Creganâ, you said, âand he is the one, I love himâ
âOh him?â, he asked, pointing at Cregan, who was a bunch of meters awayÂ
Cregan was watching the whole thing unfold from the corner of his eye, he couldnât quite catch what you were saying but he could tell you were discussing something. He had half the mind to go and put an end to it, but he knew you had to fight your own battles, still, as you kept arguing with Aemond, he was able to listen to the pair of you
âI donât know what you are doing here Aemond, alright? But it's pathetic! Leave me alone!â
âYou go and trade me for the first mutt that calls you pretty, you are the one that changed! You used to be determined, have ambition, we were going to rule this country togetherâ
âWe were children with childish dreamsâ, you said back, âand if we are being honest, they were more yours than mineâ, he chuckled darkly, âAemond this isnât like you, I advice you to find your pride and get the fuck outâ, you told him
âPride, sure, like Cregan is so pridefulâ, he mocked
âDonât bring him into this!â, you said, âhe is a good man!â
âWannabe photographer, alternative typeâŠâ
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
â...a pariah of his family, about to be disownedâ
âWhat?â, you asked him
âHis family shuns himâ, he mocked, âhis father was siring bastardsâŠâ
âEnough!â, you said, âyou are sick, and anyways, what is it to you? We are done, get over itâ
âIâm sorry its just pathetic what you are using to get over meâ, he mocked
âYou are delusional!â, you said, âCregan is handsome! Kind and funny, he is caring and selfless⊠he is⊠strong and compassionate and he is ten times the man you areâŠ!â, you heard a loud crack and you both turned quickly to watch Cregan disappear in the middle of the small wooden pier
âCregan!â, you screamed and ran towards him, he didnât quite disappear, that was an exaggeration, but a rotten plank gave in under his weight and now he was moaning in pain, half his leg trapped in between the beams
âAre you alright?â, you asked him, getting to him, he was moaning in pain and grabbing onto his leg
You helped him, he grabbed onto you and you helped him out of the hole
âAre you alright?â, you asked him softly
âYeahâ, he said, but it was clear on his voice that he was in pain still
His cheeks were red and he seemed positively embarrassed.Â
âIâm fine! Iâm fine, love, really, ah!â, he whined in pain as soon as he put his foot on the ground
âMaybe you got a sprain or somethingâ, you said softly
âDamn, Iâm sorry!â, he said
âYou got nothing to be sorry forâ, you laughed. But he was mortified.
âWe need to go to the hospital I think Cregan sprained his ankleâ, you told Jace and Sara, as you managed to help Cregan back inside the shack
Aegon was rubbing his head and Jace was holding an oar, but you didnât pay attention to it.
. . .
âI feel like an idiotâ, Cregan mumbled, as you kissed his cheek and helped him back inside the shack, it was a sprain, pretty mild, but still, they had put a thick bandage around it and he had trouble walking but still.Â
âYou might be an eavesdropping idiot but⊠you are my idiotâ, you teased, he chuckled, and you gave him a peck on his lips. He chuckled against your lips
âIâm sorry guysâ, mumbled Jace, as you gathered again in the shack, âI should have never asked Daemon in the group chat, we should have kept it under wraps
âYour family is pretty tight, they would have never not known about itâ, you said softly, âwhat matters is that the shack is thriving and we are together, right?â, Cregan grabbed you and made you sit on his laps, and you wrapped your arms around his shoulders.Â
But still, the fact that you had conquered the house and then you were conquered was infuriating
âI donât want to get back to the houseâ, you just snapped, as everything came crashing back to you, you liked being with Jace, Sara and Cregan, you did not want to get back to that place where Aemond was waiting for you to pull whatever he had planned, thay psycho, and you didnât want to get back to Aegon and those women and freaking Criston Cole⊠they had poisoned your safe haven, the home you found.Â
âI donât want to get back to the house, you donât either, letâs do a movie nightâ, suggested Jace, you shared looks with Cregan
âA movie night?â, you asked
âYeah, I got a proyector, letâs project the movie on the side of the shackâ
âThat sounds amazing!â, said Sara
You and Sara went to get groceries as the boys settled everything up in the shack
And then, when you returned with everybodyâs favourite snacks, they had everything set up so you could cuddle in the ground and watch the movie
It was a classic, something you all could enjoy.
And only when you realised you couldnât sleep in the shack, you returned to the house.
The whole group wasnât there, and you guessed they were partying somewhere else, because their things were still here.
You finally got to put your head on the pillow, right next to Cregan, you shared complacent looks as tonight there was nobody to disturb you
âI love youâ, you said, he smiledÂ
âI love you tooâ, he whispered, like it was a secret only both of you shared.Â
âI was so scaredâ, you confessed, âto fall over someone so quickly after everything that happened, I was so afraid, and yet, now I realised Iâm the luckiestâ, he caressed your cheek
Was it too soon to think it was forever? Because that is what it looks like
âIâm the luckiestâ, he whispered, you kissed him gently, and then you cuddled against this chest, âI made a fool of myself todayâ, he moaned, you only giggled
âNo you didnâtâ, you said, caressing his chest, âyou were fineâ
âRight in front of himâ, he lamented
âYou have nothing to prove to him, or to anybodyâ, you said then.
âI just wish they would leaveâ, he groaned. All the doubts he could have had regarding you and Aemond dissipated completely, he loved and trusted you.
âI got a feeling, that soon, everything will balance out somehowâ, you said mindlessly
âWhat do you mean?â, he asked
The very next morning you all were shaken awake by a loud noise
âAlright!â, you heard someone yell. You all jumped out of your rooms, Cregan more like limping, âwho the hell had taken over our house?â, you looked down through the railing of the second floor and you saw the twins Baela and Rhaena with smug looks on her faces and her bags
âYOU ARE HERE!â, Jace screamed, âaunties!â
âFuck you Jace Iâm your freaking cousin!â, Baela cursed, and you laughed, because the twinâs parent Daemon was Rhaenyraâs uncle so that made them Rhaenyraâs cousins, so Jaceâs aunts, it was pretty funny.
âWhatâs all that noise?â, asked Aegon coming out of his room
âWe are the cavalry thatâs whatâs up!â, mocked Rhaena
Now you were even! had a fighting chance against the intruders
You managed to scrape up some breakfast for the lot of you, meaning the six of you because The rest had gone back to bed, turns out they were partying.
âSo Ben is coming next weekâ, said Baela, âI already talked to him, and we will all get ready for the festivalâ
âYou know about that?â, asked Jace
âApparently it's been all over socials that Oberyn Martell is coming, so everybody got hyped and all of Harrenhal is coming, you donât know about that?â
âWe are the ones who invited himâ, you said shortly, and both twins just stared at you
âItâs been kind of a long summer!â, said Cregan with a wide smile
âWe are like one month in!â, they said
âWell we met him in the Watergardensâ, you told them simply
âWe have some other newsâ, Rhaena said in a whisper
âRhaena youâre such a gossipâ, mumbled Baela, but you could tell she was dying to tell you.
âWhy know why they are hereâ, she continued, and you all leaned in over the table to listen to her, âthe thing about Aemond came out, about the teacher he fucked, sorryâ, she said looking at you
âItâs fineâ, you said quickly
âThey send him away, and Aegon is a liability every time he posts on social media so Alicent send them both hereâ, she said wiggling her eyebrows
So thatâs it, he was hiding from all the blowout from the thing with Alys, something you didn't know anything about
Nothing mayor had happened, but you were on the brink of an election, so anything could turn the scales to one side or the other⊠So that is what they were doing
Keeping a low profile
The arrival of the twins proved to be a breath of fresh air, because now they were the âhostsâ, not Jace, and they ruled the house with an Iron fist, Aegon discovered that mocking you was a poor way to spend the summer, and lost interest on the palace quite quickly, as it was not the rhythm he was used to, meaning âit was boring as fuckâ, you heard him say, and started to try to convince his friends to leave.
Aemond seemed determined though, to stay, so, so was Criston.
Floris, since that awful night, clung to Aemond like gum on shoe, and wouldnât leave his side. What amazed you is that he seemed to reciprocate.
And what wasnât to love about her? Yes she might be a bit mean, but she was beautiful, rich, and from a good family from the beginnings of Westeros itself, so, she was everything Aemond appreciated. And you were happy, and relieved, for him, as he had let you be after your fight outside of the Shack.
So without Aemond looming over you, you got to enjoy more, get a rhythm going like before they arrived.
And again, he was somewhat defeated. You didnât know what he wanted to accomplish by coming here, but you could see his face of disappointment everywhere, but that made sense after you learned what you did from Rhaena and Baela
You not being the main reason they were here did make you feel better.
Still, they stayed two more weeks.
But not like you spend too much time in the house anyways,
You felt like you had vanquished them, as it seemed like they gave up, and kept mostly to themselves.
And then, one day, from anywhere, they were called back to Kingâs Landing
You knew why, but you wanted to stay away from it.
Elections were coming and the main branch of the Targaryen family was pulling everyone in. You were up too, to Harrenhal and Rhaenyra, in only a couple of weeks
The day they were gone, it felt like you could finally breathe, like a dark storm cloud had lifted and all was left was a beautiful sunny day.
But you had no time to enjoy the house to yourselves
Because now the festival was coming
You had talked to the organisers and promised to help, so you divide your time by the Shack, the festival, and also Cregan.
Cregan defended the Shack with teeth and nail, preferring to be there than helping out at the festival, so you, Jace and Cregan took turns to always be two and two. The shack was booming, more people coming each day, and the locals seemed so happy to see you there, always giving words of encouragement, and how happy they were to see their small town come back to life a bit more.
It had been a crowded summer so far, but it was so fulfilling, and so fun.
Oberyn was arriving tomorrow for the festival, but tonight you manage to finish early at the Shack and go back home to throw a small barbeque, only the six of you. And Ben, who just got here.Â
You had never âran a houseâ before, and you were enjoying the domesticity so much, working by day, arriving at home with your friends and your loving boyfriend.Â
âI miss Aly so muchâ, Ben lamented, and you all booed him as you drank some beer and ate ribs,Â
âOh come on! You just saw her!â, said Cregan
âShe is starting to do clinics and all, sheâs got a busy summerâ, he said, âshe is in Raventree hallâ, he said
âShe is not far from hereâ, you offered
âI know I was with her since the summer started but her parents kicked me out eventuallyâ, you laughed at him and he chuckled
âWell, weâll distract you!â, offered Baela, and you giggled against Cregan.
âWe got a huge event coming upâ, you offered, âOberyn himself is coming tomorrowâ
The big event for the entire season
The Isle of Faces Festival.
The day started early despite you having a late night, but to no matter, you had plenty to do, with your ebay friends.
Cregan and Sara went to receive Oberyn and Ellaria at the Heliport and took him to the fanciest hotel they could find, and you and Cregan went to the Shack for half a day, and then you went home to prepare
The festival had its origins from like two thousand BD, celebrating the friendship between the children of the forest and the first men, and through all these years, they had kept some of the most pagans traditions, one of them was the colourful attires and⊠masksâŠ
Masks made of wood symbolising the weirwood trees, and it was so beautiful.
He didnât show it, but you could tell that Cregan was nervous to meet Oberyn, even though he was still limping, he did his best to put on a brave face, and you loved him even more for it.
He was always trying to put up a good front, since Aemond showed up and even though he was gone now, you could tell Cregan wanted to be brave.
So you all got dressed up, and masked, and you went to the huge esplanade where the festival was being held.
There dozens of small tents, all the locals had come to offer their small business, selling their products, food, games, attractions, everything they had to offer. At the end of this huge open âhallwayâ was the stage where the bands were going to present.
It was like a carnival on steroids, everyone was wearing colourful costumes, and masks, people were dancing, or disguised as mythical creatures.
Oberyn was in his element, on the stage representing and throwing jokes, he was dressed as the symbol of Dorne, a shining sun, with all golden robes and he looked like he was having the time of his life.
Cregan had put on a cape -even though it was so hot you could drop outside-, with a wolf mask, Jacaerys had dressed all in black and red, with scales and a demonic looking mask, even though you knew it was a dragon.
Sara had dressed all in shimmering white. Symbolising the Northâs snow, and you, well, you didnât know what to dress as, so Cregan suggested that you dressed all in silver, with a beautiful round headdress, you were the moon. The twins both decided to dress like creatures of the sea, with glitter on scaly shapes on their faces, beautiful braids with seashells, and flowy skirts.Â
His moon
It was sweet.Â
You went backstage before the concerts started, and it was kind of fun to see Cregan and Jace completely fanboying over Oberyn and Ellaria
âSo these are the lucky fellasâ, he said, all entertained
âThe girls were right, they were handsomeâ, she teased, making Jace and Cregan blush so furiously, it seemed like they were going to pass out.
You had the time of your life, it was the best night of the entire summer, especially once the sun hid and the temperatures cooled. Right now you were dancing in front of the stage, the bands rocking the whole place.Â
Cregan was right behind you, until he wasnâtÂ
You heard a whine and you looked back to find his face scrunched in pain
âCregan?â, you asked above the noise
âIâm fineâ, he whined, but you could tell he couldnât hold it any longer.
âIs it your foot?â, you asked him, and for the first time ever, you saw him holding back tears of pain, âCregan1â
âIt's fineâ, he said
âNo it's not!â
âI can go, you guys stayâ, he said
âNo way in hell!â, you said
âYou are having the best night of your life, you said itâ, he said, âyou can stay I'll go back to the houseâ
âYou are not, Iâm coming back with youâ, you assured him, he seemed conflicted, but finally relented.
âCregan I can't believe you didnât say anything sooner!â, you said, he tried to rely on your shoulders to walk, but you could tell he was holding back.
âI didn't want to ruin everyoneâs night like i just did yoursâ, he admitted
âCregan never say anything like that ever again, you hear me?â, you chided, he barely nodded. He had nothing to drink because he was already on mild painkillers, and apparently they had worn off already.
You led him to the car and then you drove back to the house, Jace and Sara could find an uber
âYou are going to miss the afterparty Oberyn invited us toâ, Cregan warned
âYou are injured and in painâ, you said back, âI donât care about anything elseâ, you said softly.
Because Crega had become more important to you than any party, any famous people, (like the friends Oberyn had invited to join him), that scared you a bit, but you trusted Cregan completely.Â
His ankle was purple when you got to the house. You gave him some painkillers, some heated pads to help and you cuddled him on the couch
âIâm going to marry you one dayâ, he whispered as he looked at you with a loopy smile on his face
âCregan, those are the pills talkingâ, you teased
âNo they arenâtâ, he said mindlessly, âI think you are the love of my lifeâ, you only smiled and kissed him.
And a week after the festival.
It was time to go.
You had spent six amazing weeks on the Island, and now it was time for the last few weeks, helping Jacaerysâ mom Rhaenrya in her presidential run, as you had promised.Â
You packed the last of your bags and looked sadly at the cosy room that had hosted you for all those weeks. The fact that you had given up the keys to the shack the day before didnât boost your spirits, except maybe the complete face of shock of the owner, who now had a great business running.
You actually shed a few tears as you board the ferry. Cregan hugged you as you watched the island get smaller and smaller for every nautical knot.Â
âWe will returnâ, he assured you
âI had such a great timeâ, you murmuredÂ
âMe too love, me tooâ, he kissed the top of your head
You will always going to remember the Love Shack
Sorry if it was a bit anti-climatic
ANYWAYS HAPPY HALLOWEEN
