Winter Holidays in the East were very different; it wasn’t even just the lack of snow, or the fact that not everyone celebrated Christmas, because quite a large number of people did celebrate it, or just a similar Holiday, even the local authorities had decorated the streets with tinsel and twinkly lights. Dany wasn’t very into Christmas anyway, but spending a year so far from home did make her a bit nostalgic. Luckily for her, her friends took care of her holiday blues and as soon as their last exams would wrap up, they were to throw a party, complete with traditional food and beverages, from the East and the West. She made her way out of her last exam of the semester, feeling free and wanting to get plastered and finally unwind. She pulled out her phone and as soon as she turned it on, notifications started pouring in. She opened the group chat and started typing: Dany: I AM FREEE FREEEEEEEEEEDid anything important happen? I am so not backreading your 200+ messages :eye_roll:Missy: Biiiitch… fine fine you’re forgiven, this time…. :eye_roll:We were just trying to decide whether to buy a tree or not because Margaery just saw one in the store; Irri is still presumably busy with her boyfriend since she hasn’t said anything for like 3 hours; Jhiqui is in and out, as her job allows her; Arya is out buying presents for her family and I am still stuck in my shift even if the café is empty … :weary face:Dany: your chat summaries are just one of the reasons Ilysm, Dei <3Can’t type and walk, so be back in a bit. Just don’t blow up my notifications until I get back to the flatMargaery: oh shush. Now hurry home because I need you to check if we have enough flourMeanwhile, I will be in the alcohol aisle deciding on what to get us :wink:Arya: please please please get me some white wineeeeee or I’ll die if I have to drink red for the entire night :sob:Margaery: I gotchu :kiss: She pocketed her phone and started walking at a brisk pace. That’s how most of her days went – uni, working in the same café as Missandei, spending her day with her roomies, and when she wasn’t home, they were always a message away. She had moved in with Missy and Irri in her first uni year. She recently befriended Margaery, who was there on an exchange programme, and the girls asked her to move in, since they all became fast friends. It was Marge that had introduced her to Arya, her boyfriend’s young sister, who had just moved in the other building of their complex, together with her brother Bran. The younger Starks, unlike the older ones, were doing their entire studies in the East. She headed straight to their flat and slumped against the door, a bit exhausted and a bit hungry. She stayed for a bit longer on the floor, contemplating what to do next. Then she heard the last thing she expected in this corner of the world–
“–aye, I am sure it’s the right address… Oi, I bloody know how to read directions – aye, I’m sure of it. You forwarded me the bleedin’ email, aye, then it’s your fault if I have the wrong address…”
It was not strange overhearing neighbours, the walls were thin and there were many people living there, but what froze her into place was the strong Northern accent of the man just outside her door – not to mention just how sexy his voice sounded; if she wasn’t already sitting, she would have dropped on the floor at the sound of his gruff. It was silly, but her heart started beating faster in anticipation, although of what she couldn’t tell. She was startled by just how close to her door his groan sounded.
“…alright, I will check again.”
Dany thought he sounded exasperated. She quickly pulled up the group chat on her phone. Dany: There's a Northerner guy talking outside the door...WHAT IS THISArya: Why we playing scribbage now?Missy: :scream: HERE???Margaery: A NORTHENER? :open_mouth:Missy: OMG snatch himArya: Fuck himMissy: Lick himDany: hahahah u guys, stahpMissy: Lmao Arry, I was going for subtletyDany: I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD A NORTHERNER NEIGHBOUR!AHHHHHExcept ya know, Arry and BranArya: Eyes closed if he ain't good looking.Missy: Quickly go mark him as your ownArya: yeah, pee on him. Like a wolf!Missy: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:Arya: Ignore me. My brain is letting itself go, tired and unwalleted as I am right now.Dany: hahaha I HATE YOU ARRY I NEVER SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT LOLArya: Hahahahaha. I'm terrible.Dany: Doesn't matterHe a Northerner :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:bahahahaa I love how much you into thisOh no... he's gone.Now I have to know what flat he lives inMissy: :sob: :sob: noOooDany: omg omg omgMissy: come backMargaery: Go check the mail!Missy: RuuunMargaery: You forgot something in your carDany: Margeyyy YOU GENIUS Dany got up as fast as she could and inconspicuously opened the door, but the owner of that marvellous voice was not there anymore. She looked to one side of the long hallway, then the other – still nowhere in sight. She grabbed the keys and started walking around the complex, in hopes she’d bump into him. If this wasn’t fate, then she decided that she would make her own luck. She pulled up the app again, her phone continuously buzzing.
Missy: Go see where he stayinYASGO MARGEYMargaery: I’ve got a ton moreMissy: :clap: :clap: :clap:Margaery: Thought you heard your neighbour’s catForgot to turn off a sprinklerNoseyMissy: :thinking_face: those are very goodMargaery: I live to serve and matchmake from a distance – at least until I finish shopping… still half of the list to go :weary:Arya: Just go out on the lobby and shout Northern Independence :joy:See who reactsMissy: But D – what was he doin at our door????Dany: I DONT KNOOOWWWWWDany: You guys, I didn't catch him :cries:but I will still look in the mailMargaery: When you go outside bemoan how much it sucks that the North is leaving the 7K and how you fear it will have a global impact, weed out the posersDany: MARGE, BAHAHAHAA OMGMargaery: This is why I’m a writer, truly. So I can actually have characters do some of this shit, LOLSince my friend never do as I say *cough* Dany *cough*Dany: *loves you very much* Now let me go write my ideas on Brexit. We were truly sorry they were leaving the 7KMaragery: We’re all sorry! :heart:Dany: ok but if he lives here, I’m sure his name will stand out on the mail boxesArya: Go to my flat and check if Bran’s home. Ask him for the Northern flag and hang it by your door.Dany: :wink:Arya: Lure him in.Missy: Neaah you have to yell Winter is coming :joy:Margaery: Because who doesn’t love the Starks??Missy: Make beans tomorrow morning.

He was like in the middle of a phone call, probably just passing bybut he stopped a little outside our door She put her phone in the back pocket of her jeans, just as she opened the door to the mail room. She quickly scanned the boxes, looking for a less Eastern sounding name, or for at least a British sounding one. Maybe the guy was not from as far up North as Arya, although he somehow sounded even more Northerner than she or Bran did. So concentrated she was in her task, that she did not see him coming until she heard his annoyed voice again. “Aye, I am checking it now.” She could not say anything while he was on the phone, not wanting to be rude but also because he didn’t sound like he was having a pleasant conversation, so she quietly left the room and went outside to the small corner store, hoping to bump into him again on her way back. When she opened the chat again, the notifications kept piling up. Margaery: :scream: I may be totally biased, but Northern accents = ACTUAL SEXAnd every damn Westerner will agree with me, even the uptight onesMissy: who is gonna be the first to get home because Dany is so not gonna pursue him :eye_roll:Margy – it may all come down to youwhere is Irri when you need her? *summoning Irri*Arya: sucking face with her boyfriend… :smirk:Missy: *starts singing I’m a genie in a bottle baby*Arya: Gotta rub ya the right way?

Oh, Dany was sure she must have looked insane, with a pack of chewing gum and her phone in hand, laughing hysterically. She paid and went back to the building. Dany: He is not so tall but decent. He is well-built but I can’t tell if abs or no abs lolol He has a beard. Dark hair and I think blue eyesArya: Britscuit!Dany: I think he lives in building AArya: Is. He. Single.We forgot to ask that question.Dany: I don't know if he's single how could I lolAnd nowListenMissy: Dang ItArya: Ask. And then pull him into your room.Margaery: Did you see a ring? Maybe it was fate after all, since he was still there, bizarrely eyeing the mail boxes. As soon as he saw her, he came to open the door for her, smiling again. She wanted to say something, anything, but what? What does one say in such moments? ‘Hey, I just met you and I am totally in love with you and also a bit sex deprived and you look like a snacc, wanna fuck?’ Whoa hey there, I knew you’re desperate for that D, Daenerys, but just, not … that desperate. So she panicked and just grinned at him – oh she was sure she looked mental. “Valar Morghulis,” he greeted, in a broken accent, and Dany’s heart did a flip, as if it were possible to crush on him even more, now he was also trying to greet her in true Braavos fashion – even if it was more of an outdated greeting. She smiled, her cheeks turning red, “Valar Dohaeris,” she replied. Just as she was about to welcome him to the building, his phone rang again, so he gave her an apologetic smile and got out of the building. Missy: GO ASKDany: HE OPENED THE DOOR FOR MEMissy: Is there a ringDany: BahaahhahahaMissy: OMGArya: What Margey asked.Margaery: OOH A GENTLEMANArya: Did he follow into the room?Why the fuck are you still in here???Dany: Cause he didn't follow me into my room smhI didn't check if he had a ring:sob: :sob:Arya: Kid!Get outta hereMissy: OMG GET OUT THEREDo you need to be flung again????Arya: And get yourself a damn BritscuitAnd tea. ;)Dany: I was coming in because I took Margey’s advice and after checking the mail boxes I went to the store and when he saw me come in he opened the door for meBut then he got out and he crossed the road and entered the store himselfMargaery: Oh, baby!! That’s the first thing you should check for. No sleeping with the marrieds on accident please!Save yourself a lot of stressArya: No streetbusiness, D.You a right proper lady.Missy: Arry, grab her ankles, and on 3 we fling herDany: I can't believe I actually ran into him… twice lolMargaery: Did he say anything?Arya: Did he smile?Dany: He just said “Valar Morghulis”With a cute accentArya: Does he look like he would eat you or kill you?Two different looks.Dany: Oh I think he could def eat me :smirk:Missy: HE SAID VALAR MORGHULISDany: Omg I'm still flusteredMissy: :heart_eyes: I am so proud of you, bby!!!Dany: He really is cute, you guysMargaery: Good!Missy: :drooling_face:Margaery: Go splash some cold water on your face.

For all she knew, the lad was just visiting and she would never see him again. She had never thought herself as a romantic, yet here she was, getting all hot and bothered over some hot dude with a panties-dropping accent. She berated herself, crushes were a dangerous thing – she had been there before. So she finished her shower, changed and started cleaning for the party, until Margaery arrived and they could start cooking. She couldn’t have been cleaning for more than fifteen minutes, when her front door flung open. Arya was panting, “Oh thank the gods you’re still here,” she held her hand up. “Um… where else would I be?” “Nowhere, I don’t know. I got here as fast as I could.” She inhaled deeply, and came to rest her hands on her shoulders, “I can’t let you do this alone. Listen, I love you so much and I know we’ve only known each other for like two months, but you need to let loose a bit.” She wanted to protest, but Arya put her right hand on her mouth, “And Margey agreed. No ‘buts’, because Dei was the one to suggest it,” she chuckled. Dany sighed, “Fine, but only because I actually think he is hot as hell and it’s been a while for me,” she blushed. “Nope nope nope, don’t need to know that. I am just here to offer my assistance as wingwoman.” Arya looked her over, then decided to put her plan in motion, “Since you already look cute as always, we can just go to my place, and we’ll see if we bump into him, if not, we can just start snooping around my building, like how hard can it be to find a hot dude in this complex?” She didn’t have much time to think it over, and if she was being honest, she was enjoying just going with the flow for once, before Arya took her hand and made for the door. They walked briskly, and Arya was being quiet, gods knew what she was planning. Next thing she knew, they were in front of Arya’s flat and she was rummaging through her sports bag for the keys. “Finally,” she exclaimed. “Now, are you sure he was looking at the mail boxes, because-” She opened the door and stopped speaking. She followed Arya’s gaze only to be met by… the Britscuit! No way… She didn’t even get the opportunity to say anything, because Arya threw herself in his arms, and he gladly lifted her in a tight embrace. “Merry Christmas, Arya!” She heard Arya mumbling something against his shoulder, small sobs escaping her. The more she watched the scene, the more she saw it – the resemblance between the too, their hair, their eyes, their smiles and even their voices. This was Arya’s other big brother, the one who was a military commander, the one she rarely saw. They finally pulled away to properly look at each other. “Oh,” Arya suddenly turned to her, eyes puffy and big smile on her face, “this is my friend, Dany,” she motioned to her and let go of Jon so he could properly introduce himself. She offered him her hand and he softly shook it, while looking her in the eyes, “Jon, pleased to meet you.” “Dany, likewise,” she mumbled. Jon turned to his sister, “so where’s Bran?” “He’s still at school, he’ll be home in a few hours,” Arya explained. “Ummm do you wanna take a shower or something?” “That would be great, actually.” So Arya pushed her brother in her bathroom with a few towels and let him be for the moment. “What,” she finally stopped in front of her, brows furrowed. “So… remember the Britscuit?” Dany tried explaining. “Yeah, let’s go get him while Jon is in the shower.” “That’s just it, no need to look for him anymore…” Dany trailed off. Arya stared at her and then, she actually saw the moment it hit her, “NO FUCKING WAY MY BROTHER IS THE BRITSCUIT?” she yelled. “Shhhhhh,” Dany covered Arya’s mouth with her hands. “My brother. Jon. Britscuit. Biscocho Bae. BB. THIS IS EVERYTHING,” she screamed, pulling Dany’s hands into hers. “This worked out perfectly! Can you imagine your wedding and your babies, what are the chances?” “Hold your horses, Arry! I don’t even know if he likes me.” “Ha! Like there is anything not to like! And you’re already crushing on him so hard! This is perfect, D!” Dany groaned and slumped on the couch. “I don’t know about that, he didn’t even remember me from earlier.” “You don’t know that. Hold on,” Arya turned to the table, took something from the fruit bowl and went to the door, “Good luck!” The lock clicked behind her. “Arya! You did not just lock me on the inside!” she yelled, pulling on the door to no avail. “Seriously, talk to him, I think he is actually even shyer than you are, if that’s possible. Make me proud, I will go check on Margey and come back in a bit,” and she left. She banged her head on the door once. “What was that about?” Jon suddenly appeared behind her, obviously still fully dressed. She inhaled deeply and turned to face him. “Umm… Arya accidentally locked us in, she went to get help,” she lied. “And this has nothing to do with me bumping into you twice earlier today?” he smirked. “Oh Gods…” she covered her face. Jon chuckled, “These are some very thin walls…” He pried her hands off her face, “Listen, I am very flattered. To be fair, I would have totally tried to ask you out had I not been arguing with Robb on the phone. Besides,” he pushed her chin up so she looked at him, “I have been hearing about you for months from everyone. Glad to finally meet you in person, Daenerys.” ‘Swoon’ did not even begin to describe how she felt in that moment; so she smiled, and got closer to him, “Maybe my friend was right.” His right eyebrow quirked up, “How’s so?” he asked, inching closer. “It is kismet,” so she kissed him.
