for Leah

[tooktheblack]

Ghost had been slinking off to see Leah for the better part of a month and Jon had, well, avoiding was a strong word. It was more like he was confused as to how Leah felt, given she'd been so cross with him and then followed it up with a kiss. After speaking with Charlie, though, he knew anything worth having was worth pursuing so when Ghost traipsed off, Jon made to follow.

He'd dressed as nicely as he could without being overt and brought flowers along with him. He figured he could always discard them if she seemed unamused and perhaps they would end on better terms than they'd left themselves at last time.

When he found where Leah was staying, he knocked lightly and waited. Ghost seemed...almost amused.

Damned direwolf.

"Extensive notes," Leah deadpanned with a somber nod, tapping her temple. "All up here. With notations and bullet points."

Her lips quirked a little, before she leaned in and stole a quick kiss. "So don't piss me off. Or do and be prepared to face the music, either one."

"I'll aim for the former," Jon said, pulling her closer for a deeper kiss. In this, at least, they were on equal footing.

"I want you to meet my brother. It isn't something...not a betrothal, or anything, just meeting him and his son."

Leah blinked, then narrowed her eyes at him and tugged his hair, just hard enough to be obviously intentional.

"You sneaky jackass," she huffed. "You kiss me brainless and then spring a 'meet the family' request on me. All that chivalry crap's just a cover, I'm onto you now."
