Part one, part two

There's a knock on Helaena's door. I look at my watch, then back at the door. Cregan appears. He has a strange look in his eyes, Jace is standing behind him.

"So, shall we go?" I said goodbuy to Helaena, grabbed my bag and went to Cregan. We went downstairs, got dressed and left the Targaryen estate. As we walked to the car, he kept glancing at me. "Is something wrong?" He froze at first, but then quickly continued walking, "No, everithing is fine".

I did't really believe it. Something was wrong. We go into the car, and after a long time of silence, he finally decided to speak, "Y/N". I looked at him, "Yes?" An ankward silence, "I've been planning on talking about this for a ling. You see, I really like you".

I froze and stared into space. What? How? I turned my head towards him, then towadrs the road. We were near the University, my house would be coming soon. I finally managed to open my mouth, "This is.... unexpected," The words came out faster than I could think. What a shame.

Cregan was silent too, apparently my answer was different from what he expected. "Sorry, it's just so weird. I... I like you too". I left hot, apparently I blushed, really badly. I lowered my head, my hair covered my face.

"Really? I didn't expect that". He sighed with relief. "I'm really happy, I was afraid that the feelings weren't mutual". I was surprised. "You were adraid?" Cregan laughed a little, "Yes. A lot. You often look distant from the outside, something I thought you'd just leave, or say that it wasn't mutual".

"Is that so? I'm not heartless". I pounted, folded my arms across my chest and turned away to the window. We were almost there. I didn't expect such a conversation. At all. The guy of my dreams, with whom I've been in love for a year, admitted that he likes me. Likes me. Hold me Seven, how could I not notice?

"And what are we doing to do next?" I looked at him. "I'd like to court you. Will you let me?" It was weird. Most guys from the 21st century don't know that there is such a word, sourtship. But Cregan is not like that. Basically, guys from the North are really sweet. There have always been such stereotypes. Sweet giants.

I smiled and answered, "Yes, of course," But then I remembred my mother, father, Helaena, who often protected me from suitors, as well as Aegon and Jace, who would definitely start making a circus out of all this. I could see how they could laugh at some of Cregan's habits. In a friendly way, of course. But sometimes it was unpleasant.

"Do you mind if... We keep this a secret for now?" We pulled up, he looked at me. "If you want, but... What's the reason?" Then I explained my point of view. Cregan listened attentively, and then nodded his head on agreement.

Half a years has passed. So long, but so fast. We kept our pelationship with Cregan a secret from our friends. My parents understood that I had someone, they even invited me to meet, but I often refused.

In the end, they did meet when I brought Cregan home on their next trip, and they forgot some dociments at home. And here we are, standing in the hallway, opposite each othe. Over time, everything calmed down.

I also met Cregan's father. Rickon Stark is quite an interesting person, and the connection between father and son was falt even through a video call.

With the Targaryen-Hightower-Velarion family, things were different. I think no one even guessed about it. Something, almost always, Cregan gave me a ride to Helaena, but no one paid attention to it, because Cregan himself also came to Jace Aegon, and we were on the way.

A month after my conversation with Stark, Helaena was visiting me, and Cregan decided to surprise me. And here we go againe. Helaena and Cregan look at each other. There was a difficult conversation with Helaena, and afterward she promised not to tell anyone.

Today is a univerisy hockey game, King's Landing vs. Lannisport. The guys from the waest always thought out a strategy many steps ahead, it was hard to play against them.

Cregan told me about it, and he usually came up with some new part of the tactics with me. Then he shared it with the team. They trained for a long time.

Here I am, sitting on the tripe, next to Helaena, in Cregan's T-shirt. The boys asked to wear their T-shirts, I got Stark's. No one even looked at it, and I was only happy to support my guy.

It took a long time, my ass was cold, my throat hurt from screaming, and my arms were tired of holding the poster. Finally, the King's Landing team broke ahead and won. I was so happy. Everyone was screaming, the girls ran onto the ice, I followed them.

I completely forgot myself with joy. Cregan probably did too. He was riding towards me, I was barely running. You have to be careful on the ice after all. I just jumped on Stark, and he hugged me. My ears were ringing, I was breathing heavily, I heard Cregan's ragged sighs, he smelled of sweat and cold.

He took off his helmet, put me down on the ice and kissed me. In front of everyone. I didn't mind, I even agreed. I kissed him back and hugged my boyfriend around the neck. He was so tall, and he was a big guy on skates. I had to stand on my toes. There were groans and sighs from the hockey team and the girls.

Oops. Looks like we're in for a long talk…

Well, it's an open ending, but I think the guys gave this couple a good beating, and after a while they'd wonder how they didn't notice it before.

Love you all 🩷

part one, part three

It's been a week since that kiss with Cregan. Nothing much has changed in my life, except for a constant feeling of awkwadress. You'd think that since Cregan isn't around, there's no need to worry, but he was. Over the past few days, he's been catching my eye constanly.

Either his car is parked or driving by, or he's visiting Jacaerys while I'm visiting Helaena. I'm a senior, so we've started going to the University, and since the guys in my class have taken an interest in hockey, I see Stark not only in the hallways and classrooms, but also on the ice.

"Don't even think about leaving or sneaking out. Everyone should be on excursions," the teacher warned us menacingly.

Of corse, I couldn't talk about these patterns, because no one, not even Helaena, knew about my crush. Well, maybe I'm just too fixated on all this. Maybe it's just a coincidence, or everithing was like this before,I just started noticing these details. I knew about the tours of the University of King's Landing in advance.

Maybe these are just excuses, but I fell calmer this way. But I was sure that it was either my imagination or an accident.

I'm sitting in the stands watching he University hockey team's demonstration practice. It feels like my ass already frozen to the bench. Cold. And hungry. My mind whispered. I didn't have time to have breakfast, the class teacher is clearly not in the mood today.

"And theres guys are really nice," One girl giggled next to me, "Yeah. Espencially Aegon. I saw him yesterday, he's so gallant, "And the both started laughing nervously, attracting the attention of even the guys on the ice.

Well, I mean, Aegon is gallant. No, of cours, he's very well-mannered, sometimes he can be polite and behave like a gentelman. But that was only moments.Mostly he's loud, funny and very indecent. The words pouring out of his mouth sometimes add to my vocabulary, and also make me brush and turn away. And he's a pro at terrible ideas and schemes.

Often his nephew Jacaerys, whom he affectionately calls cousin, due to the small age difference, takes part in his scams. They both even tried to get Cregan involved, but he didn't particularly like that, although he did take part in some harmless schemes.

I don't really need to be told about this. I don't think Aegon would like it. On the other hand, I could hear the voice of the class teacher, he was commenting on the training session very heatedly. He seemed to have examined, he also played hockey in his time. I carefully examined the ice and found the one I needed.

Tall, broad-shouldered, he looked even bigger in uniform. He held the stick confidently, and he moved around the ice better than I walked on the ground. It was fascinating. I only skated as a child, I think now I would easily fall there and turn into a star.

So absorbed in staring, I didn't even understand when he looked at me too. His gray eyes were fixed on me. No. From afar, because of the helmet and the play of light, it seemed that way to me. Why would he look at me? That's what I decided.

After traning, we were dismissed, and I headed to the exit of the University. Today, Helaena had invited me to her place. Then someone called me. I turned and saw Cregan. Stell in uniform, he was hurrying towards me. I raised an eyebrow.

"Hey," He came closer and said, "Hi. Did you want something?" I hoped the blush on my cheeks was not as noticable as I thought.

"I heard you were going to Helaena's today. Maybe I could give you a ride?" I started at him, surprised. "How do you know?"

"Aegon said," He replied, smiling as if nothing had happened. Gods, I could melt into a piddle here.

"Yeah, fine. If it's convenient for you," I nervously tugged at the strap of my backpack. "I'll pick you up at six," He said goodbuy and walked back into the building.

I was still under the impression. What if I hadn't imagined the look? Well, I had to stay calm. I turned around and headed home to get my homework done and ready.

I was already getting ready, it was six in the evening. I said goodbuy to my parents and left the apartament. Mom was casually standing by the window and checking her flowers on the windowsill. I frowned and went to the alevator. When mom found out a guy I knew from the University would be giving me a ride, she got worried.

"My girl has never had a boyfriend, and then some hare crawled out of a hat," Of course, I tried to calm her down, that I had known Cregan for a year, he was a friend of Helaena's cousin-nephew, but it came out so confused that this situation interested her.

I left the train and saw Cregan's car. It's good that he didn't get out of it this time, otherwise there would be even more questions after I returned. I got into the car.

"Hi. How are you?" He asked me. The car started moving. "Everithing is fine, how are you?"

While we were driving to the Targaryen estate, we exchanged basic questions about the weather and school. I didn't seem to be too worried, I hope I'm not imagining it. Several times I definitely caught him looking at me, which I kind of liked, but not really. When we got to our friends, we quickly went to different rooms. Finally, Cregan said he would give me a ride home.

Gods old and new, help me get though this day. It's confusing and giving me butterflies. A lot.

Looks like there will be a third part.

Part two, part three

After the bell rang, I left the classroom as quickly as possible and headed for the school exit. The bus would arrive at the stop in ten minutes, if I didn't make it, I'd have to walk home in the cold. The devil made me wear a skirt with nylon tights in November.

Surprisingly, I made it to the stop, but when I saw the bus, I was distracted by the ringing phone and didn't have time to wave my hand.

"Damn hell," I made a face and started whining.

I looked down at my phone and answered it, turning towards my apartament.

"Hello?" I adjusted my backpack and looked up at the brightly colored signs of cafes, hotels and pubs. "Hey, Y/N, are busy tonight? Jace and Baela are having a get-together," Helaena's voice came from the other end of the line. "And since you're family, do you have to be there?" I shivered slightly as the wind blew.

"Yeah, but they said I could invite someone. You'll come, right?" I sighed heavily. "You think this is a good idea? Last time wasn't much fun".

By last time, I meant Jace's previous get-together, which was mostly college kids. I went because Helaena asked me to, but her family distracted her from my coming , and we never saw each other that night. But I was surrounded by drunk fooball players, and I barely managed to get rid of them.

"I'll meet you this time. And I had a serious talk with my cousins about those idiots. It'll just be a few girls from the University, my brothers, cousins and the hockey team. Jace and Aegon play there, remember?" I walked down the main street and turned toward the University. My apartament was two blocks away, too bad it wasn't that close to the school. "Okay, I'll come".

I'm ready and waiting for Helaena's call. I put on a black dress, a sweatshirt on top to cover my bare arms. I put on makeup and styled my hair. It was quite difficult, my hair was frizzy and curly. I put on warm boots, a jacket and a scarf on my head. The doorbell rang. I grabbed my bag, answered the call on the phone and left the apartament.

"Hello," I locked the door and went to the elevator. "Y/N, Cregan is waiting for you in the car outside the house. He was just on his way, I asked him to give you a ride, okay?" My hand froze over the elevator button. What do her mean? I'm going with Cregan? My cheecks turned pink, my heart started beating faster. "Yeah, okay. I'll be right out".

As the elevator descended, my brain quickly processed the information. I met Cregan a year ago, when my family moved to King's Landing. Helaena invited me to meet her family, and he was visiting Jace.

Thise strange Targaryen-Hightower-Velaryon family lived in one huge house, theire family estate. We didn't talk much with Stark, but I liked him very much then. Since then, I secretly glance at him and sigh quetly. And now we are going to the party together in his car.

I tried to catch my breath and look calm. When I left the house, I saw a big black car, next to which stood the man of my dreams.

I walked up to the tall guy. "Hi," He looked at me, "Hi. Get in the car, it's cold". I nodded silently and walked to the front passenger seat. I got in, Cregan got in after me. We pulled away. I felt a little awkward. "So... Will everyone from the team be there?"

"Everyone axcept Blackwood. He's sick". We fell silent again. After a while, he suddenly broke the silence. "You're not from the University, are you?" I looked at him. His nose was slightly hooked, from past observations I could tell it was also broken. "Yeah, I'm from high school".

"How did you meet Helaena?" Cregan glanced at me, but quickly looked back at the road. "Online. We corresponded for a while, and met after my family moved here".

He smiled slightly. "Sounds like her".

"What do you mean?" I looked at him, confused. "Jace told me that she doesn't really like public places. And she only started coming to our get-together after she introduced us to you"

We talked a little more, and then drove up to the Targaryen estate. We go out of the car, Helaena was standing near the entrance. She quickly took me away from Cregan. I was a little upset, but then I got back into the conversation, this time with my best friend.

An hour and a half later, we were sitting in the living room, drunk, talking and laughing. Helaena and I were mostly silent, sometimes laughing at jokes and drinking. Someone suggested playing spin the bottle. How trite. Someone voiced my thoughts, so they suggested playing something more original. I don't think pass the card sounds better. But Aegon talked Helaena into it, and she talked me into it.

"Please, come on. Aegon won't leave you alone," Her brother chuckled from behind, "Oh, yes, beautiful, agree. We're just missing you".

And so I sit between Jace and Cregan, a little embarrassed, watching as they start passing a playing card to each other with their lips.We agreed that if the card falls, we should kiss.That's why I nervously finger the rings on my fingers.

At first everithing was decent, but then the guys got hot and drank too much. The jokers deliberately blew the cards away and kissed those to whom they were supposed to pass them. For several laps I managed to hold on to the card and not let awkward moments happen, but on the next lap Cregan lost his hold on the card. We exchanged glances.

As we hesisted, the crowd began to egg us on. They giggled quietly, began to whisper, and then pushed me and Cregan closer to each other. Then Cregan grabbed my shoulders so that I wouldn't fall and brought his face close to mine.

"Is this okay?" I looked into his eyes, they were so beauiful, mesmerizing. I blushed from the close contact with him. And there were a lot of people here. But they were all playing the same game as us. It wouldn't be weird if we kissed. "Yeah, it's okay".

He nodded, our lips touched. The kiss way slow, reeking of the alcohol he was drinking. I always had something light in my glass to avoid any mishaps. Cregan smelled something tart. Or was it his cologne? He deepened the kiss, interwining his tongue with mine. I moved stiffly, a little crumpled. I had never kissed before, so why was I doing it now. Horrible thoughts filled my head.

I pulled away from Cregan, my cheeks were burning. We looked at each other, but i quickly looked away. It was so awkward. I quickly took the card, put it to my lips and handed it to Jace. The circle started again. Everyone was already tired, so they finished the game. Helaena asked to stay the night with them, because it was already late, and I couldn't call an Uber because of the crowed. So I agreed. I went to the bathroom, my friend gave me her things. When I came out of the bathroom, Stark was there. He was also staying the night. I wished him goodnight and quickly ran to the room that was given to me for the night. Already lying in bed, I thought a lot about the kiss, but thank the Seven, I drank so much that I quickly fell asleep.

There will be a second part!
