🥀– A bed of roses – Rhaelya —🥀

I’ve been wanting to do something related to ASOIAF, and I thought about doing Rhaelya, Silverrose…Rhaegar and Lyanna . Anyone who’s read the books will know how important this couple is.

Maybe I’ll do more things related to them, or maybe I’ll do Maegor and Aenys again, as they will always be my favorites.

Riddle pushes several bushes out of his way and brushes off and remaining leaves. He places a hand over his eyes to look up into the sunny sky.

I must find the one responsible for all the strange happenings in town… otherwise, more strange things will continue to occur.

The red haired boy looks down and jumps over a tiny stream cutting through the forest. He holds his bag close to him and continues forward. The weather was lovely for conducting an investigation such as this. He was sure he’d find the culprit sooner or later.

He grabs a twig and uses it to push aside a bush of ivy, ensuring he would not be stung in the process. He then looks down at the floor and opens his map.

“I’ve checked in a good amount of directions, but… I should continue heading north. I’m sure I’ll find something there-“

Riddle is cut off when he bumps into something. It’s soft and warm, so he assumes it’s a person and shakes himself off.

“My apologies! I did not see you there.”

“You’re good; don’t worry,” a deep voice rumbles in response. Riddle freezes upon hearing those words.

Who… was that?

Riddle looks up from his map to see something large and pale, like the color of skin, resting before him. He looks to the side and notices digits, thicker than tree trunks, sitting atop a bed of grass. The red haired boy rubs his eyes to make sure he isn’t dreaming.

Is that… a hand…?!

Realization finally kicks in. Riddle looks up, his gaze tracking from the pale object to what he believes is a sleeve. He continues looking up, higher still, until he is met with what appears to be dreamy, aurora eyes and silvery hair. A handsome face stares down at him as the red haired boy retracts in surprise.

This isn’t a “thing”… it’s a giant!

~~~

Riddle can feel his legs trembling as he realizes there is a giant sitting right in front of him. The giant turns to face him, his massive hand lifting from the ground right in front of the human. Riddle falls backwards from the overwhelming presence before him, gawking like a wide eyed insect.

The giant gently begins to turn his frame, the earth rumbling with even the slightest movements. Riddle is met with the same, purple gaze he had seen before it occurred to him what this “thing” truly was.

“You… why are you so tiny?” The giant asks, his voice soothing.

“I-I could ask why you are so… HUGE?!” Riddle stammers in reply. He scrambles back on his hands and legs until he hits a tree.

“Hey, no need to be afraid. I promise I won’t hurt you,” the giant states in response to the red haired boy’s fear. He gently reaches one of his gigantic fingers out, tilting his head.

Riddle doesn’t move; he’s too frozen in fear to even respond. The giant could crush him without a second thought.

And yet, with all his fear, Riddle did not expect what happened next. The giant gently brushes his finger across Riddle’s face, delicately like a feather. He then lifts his index finger and rubs it across Riddle’s head.

“W-what are you doing?!” Riddle asks defiantly.

“Hmm? Do you not like being pet?”

“I-I am not an animal! I am a respectable human being! My NAME is Riddle Rosehearts!”

The giant chuckles a bit, his voice rattling the treetops. “That’s a very nice name. My name is Silver.”

“Silver…?” Riddle echoes. I guess that’s a given, since his hair is the color of his name.

“I’ve never seen a… human, before. You are exceptionally cute, you know that?”

“C-cute?” Riddle bristles up in defiance. “Are you mocking me simply due to my stature?!”

Silver shakes his head. “No. I’m saying that because you’ve got a lot of courage for someone so tiny. May I hold you?”

Riddle grows increasingly impatient. “You wish to hold me?”

Silver nods. “Only if it’s ok with you.”

The red haired boy looks at his bag and thinks to himself. Perhaps… he is the one behind the strange midnight occurrences… it may be wise to get some answers from him.

“Y-yes. You may hold me.”

Silver reaches out with the hand that was petting Riddle and closes his fingers around him. Riddle can feel his chest be slightly compressed as the giant’s grip becomes more firm around him. A rush of air flows through the gaps of Silver’s fingers as Riddle feels his ears pop.

When the movement is over, Silver unfurls his palm and watches Riddle sit up. The red haired boy looks out over the edge of the giant’s palm and stares down at the earth far beneath them, baffled.

“H-how tall ARE you?!” Riddle asks, scrambling back to avoid falling.

“Oh… I guess I’m 5’9?”

“5’9?! Impossible! I’m roughly 5’3! There is no way!” Riddle responds, bewildered.

“Oh. Then… I’m probably around 80 feet tall by your standards,” Silver replies casually.

“80 FEET?!” Riddle asks in disbelief. “How do you just casually admit that?!”

“It’s odd that I’m 80 feet tall?” Silver asks, tilting his head.

“B-by human standards, YES?!”

The giant chuckles again. “You’re very funny. I like you, Riddle.”

Riddle can feel his face heat up before he shakes the thought off and remembers why he ventured out into the woods in the first place. “Now that we’re, uh… face to face, I want to ask you a question!”

Silver smiles. “Ok, then. What’s your question?”

Riddle pulls out his list of “strange occurrences” and clears his throat. “I’d like to ask if you are the one behind these events!”

Silver squints at the tiny parchment in Riddle’s hands. He then begins to nod his head.

“Looks like my cover’s been partially blown.”

“I knew it! I- wait, partially?” Riddle asks, confused.

“Mhm. I’m only responsible for half these things. I thought all the little homes were an elaborate diorama Father constructed.”

“Father?”

“Mhm. My father, Lilia Vanrouge. He adopted me when I was just a baby. Then, as I got older, I started growing. I got a lot bigger than my actual house… Father said it was a miraculous growth spurt I underwent.”

Riddle shuffles in Silver’s palm. “Miraculous is a bit of an understatement. But, anyways, would you happen to know who else did those deeds in town?”

Silver shakes his head. “Nope. But I could help you find them.”

Riddle’s face lights up. “Really? You’d help me? Fantastic! I will have a birds eye view from all the way up here!”

“But…”

The red haired boy freezes. “But…?”

Silver puts a hand behind his head. “I have two simple conditions. One, I want you to come meet Father with me.”

Riddle thinks for a moment and nods. “That is manageable. What is your second condition?”

“Hmm…” Silver thinks for a moment.

“I want you to be my friend.”

“Really? That simple?” Riddle scoffs at this task. “This shall be easy! Very well then, Silver. I accept your conditions.”

“However…”

Riddle stops smiling.

“You have to promise to stay my friend even after I help you with your investigation. I don’t want you running off and abandoning me. Please?”

Riddle looks up. “F-friends with a giant? Forever…?”

“Yes, forever. Did you think I’d only be your friend simply because I wanted to help this one time?”

“That is… odd. No one has ever wanted me to continue being their friend after something happens where they need me. Except for Trey…” Riddle thinks for a minute. “Ok. It will be easy enough, I suppose. As long as you promise to stop these strange occurrences at night.”

“Deal.” Silver extends his pinkie, accidentally pushing Riddle over in an attempt for a pinkie promise. Riddle sighs and places his hand on the giant’s pinkie, shaking it.

Snore…

Riddle looks up at the giant sleeping before him, covering a majority of his dorm. Silver is huddled over Heartslabyul, his body casting a dark shadow over the ground. The students were completely baffled walking by.

The red haired boy tries to get the giant’s attention by shouting, but it doesn’t work. To Silver, the tiny House Warden sounds like nothing more than an ant.

“My word… he’ll get too comfortable, lean all his weight on my dorm, and crush it! That would be unacceptable!” Riddle muses, frustrated. He grabs his staff and waves it for a moment. He sends a blast of cosmic magic at Silver’s face. The giant twitches his nose, but simply brushes this off and falls asleep again.

Still nothing… what can I do to get him up?

“HOUSE WARDEN!!”

Riddle whirls around to see Ace and Deuce approaching. Behind them is another figure, one Riddle hasn’t seen for some time.

“Trappola, Spade, and… Vanrouge-senpai?” Riddle asks. “Oh, thank you for coming to my aid!”

“But of course! I heard my son has been causing quite the issue for your dorm, correct?” Lilia asks, floating over to the red haired teen. Riddle nods his head.

“None of my students have been able to get inside…”

“His legs are in the way!!” a student yells. Riddle sighs and shakes his head.

“I figure you would know what to do, since he is your son,” Riddle states, turning to the fae. Lilia laughs.

“Well, could you tell me what happened that lead up to this situation?" Lilia asks, swooping down to follow Riddle's gaze. The two freshmen behind them snicker.

“Man, what kinda boyfriend can’t even wake up his partner?” Ace chuckles.

“Silence, Trappola, or I shall have your head! Why don’t you try to wake up a sleeping, 100-foot-tall giant then, hmm?”

“Hard. Pass,” the ginger snarks in reply. The red-haired boy sighs in frustration, but turns back around to face the sleeping giant.

"We were studying for an exam together, and Silver claimed that he was falling asleep. I had offered to talk to him while we sat outside together, but then... he truly dozed off. Unfortunately, I was sitting upon his shoulder, and I tumbled to the ground. I was fortunate enough to land atop his leg before hitting the cobblestone path..."

Lilia flies into the air and waves a hand in Silver's face. He then flies to his son's hair and gently tugs on his ahoge. Nothing happens as the red haired boy watches.

"No need to worry, my fellow classmates. I shall simply wake him up with a spell!" Lilia summons a crackle of green energy in his palm and looks down at them. Ace and Deuce stare at him from below while Riddle tilts his head curiously.

What will that do...?

The fae shoots the magical ball out his palm and spectates it's progress, floating through the air. When it reaches Silver's ear, it suddenly bursts. A loud sound like a firework crackles across the sky. Riddle covers his ears, as do the freshmen standing behind him.

In that moment, Silver jolts awake. His dreamy, aurora eyes shoot open as he sits up in a panic. He begins to breathe heavily, lifting his hand over the onlookers. Unknowingly, he slams his hand down onto the ground, squashing Ace and Deuce. Riddle turns around and gasps.

"OH MY GOODNESS!" he yells.

The giant instantly recoils and peers down at the flattened duo. Ace and Deuce groan in pain as they lay on the stone path. Riddle sighs in relief, glad they were not turned into a squished puddle.

"Where... what happened? Where am I?" Silver asks. He looks down at Riddle, then over at Ace and Deuce. Finally, he tracks his gaze up to Lilia. "Oh... I fell asleep again, didn't I?"

The fae nods. "Unfortunately so, but not to fear! I've woken you up from your slumber~"

Silver instantly turns to Riddle and leans down on his torso. Riddle backs away; he forgets how flustering it is for him to have a giant lean down before him. A rather handsome one at that,

"Riddle, I'm very sorry for falling asleep again... can you forgive me?"

The red-head sighs and nods his head. "...Ok. Just, please, if you're going to fall asleep, could you refrain from blocking the entrance of my dorm?"

“I’ll try…” Silver extends a hand and grabs Riddle between his fingers. The House Warden lets out a startled yelp as the giant gently rubs his head and kisses his tiny frame. Riddle blushes as Silver gets up and affectionately nuzzles him. “You smell very good… like strawberries…”

“W-why, thank you, my love…”

“Oi! What’s in it for us, eh?!” Ace shouts, “We got you help AND were flattened in the process!”

“Fine, no hedgehog duties for two weeks!” Riddle calls down from above. The pair of freshmen exchange looks before shrugging and walking away. Silver lets out a gentle chuckle as he draws his boyfriend close to his chest.

“I keep forgetting how adorable you are, my love…”

“Y-you’re just saying that because you’re a giant,” Riddle replies.

Silver laughs again and moves away from the dorm. “We should continue our study session in the rose garden…”

“I agree, but this time, no falling asleep. Promise?” The red-head asks.

Our Happily Ever After💚❤️

💚 - “Thank you for teaching me how to love.”

"W-wha...?"

Riddle had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming. What was he looking at?

*A larger-than-life human... I read about something like this. Is this what they called... a giant?*

The giant had shiny, silver hair that glistened in the light. His eyes sparkled like dazzling orchids. He wore a green vest over a ripped, dark gray shirt, and dark beige pants. Riddle couldn't see the rest of his features; they were shrouded by the fluffy white clouds.

*Where am I?*

~

The giant was staring down at Riddle in disbelief. Riddle was staring up at the giant. He couldn't believe his eyes. Neither could the giant in front of him. Both were simply staring at one another.

"What... what are you?" The giant asked.

"W-what do you mean?! I'm a human! What are YOU?!" Riddle asked in return.

"A human?" The giant leaned down closer to get a better look at the boy. Riddle backed away, feeling overwhelmed by the giant's presence. "Why are you so small...? You couldn't possibly be a citizen of Briaria... you're too little. Where did you come from?"

"Obviously, I came from Earth. The question is... what IS this place? And why are you so big?" Riddle asked.

"This is Briaria, ruled by our prince Malleus Draconia. Your kingdom, Earth... where is that?"

Riddle stepped back. "W-what? Earth isn't a kingdom; it's the planet I hail from! You live on Earth too, just... not ON it, per say."

The giant reached his hand out to Riddle. The boy backed away until he hit the back of the beanstalk. "W-what are you doing?!"

"I'm picking you up. I must show you to father... he would be so fascinated at my discovery."

"Y-you're not going to EAT me, are you?! HEY!!"

The giant cupped Riddle in gentle hands, got up, then turned. With that, he proceeded to move away with the boy towards a massive, stone castle.

~

Riddle peered out the hole in the giant's hands and nervously began to sweat.

*Where is he taking me?! He needs to unhand this INSTANT!* Riddle thought with anger and fear.

A few doors opened, followed by tromping on a carpet. Riddle looked out the hole in the giant's hands again.

*Is this... a castle?*

"Father! Where are you, Father?" The giant called.

"In my chambers, Silver! My, you sound eager today. What's on your mind?" Another voice had responded. The giant who was carrying Riddle was named Silver.

*How fitting, I presume, given his silver hair,* Riddle mused. *Wait! This is no time for logical deductions! I have to get out of here!*

A large, heavy door burst open. Silver slowed to a stop, then began speaking again.

"Father! Can I have a moment of your time? I must show you this!"

"Sure! What have you got, Silver? Is it a new flower?"

Silver opened his hands a bit and looked down at a frightened Riddle. He then looked back up at who he was talking to and said, "No, actually. I saw a strange plant that came through the clouds... and on it came this tiny, adorable creature. It calls itself..."

Silver held out Riddle to the person he was talking to. Riddle looked into the eyes of the other giant, who was much shorter than Silver.
