Chapter Text
Aragon had been acting weird today, Anne was sick of it. She hadn't made any snippy comments about her, make some snarky remark towards her, or made a clever retort to her playful jabs, Anne decided she disliked it and was going to do something about it.
And so here was Anne outside Catherine's room knocking on her door instead of barging in. "Whose there?" Aragon said from the otherside. "Probably the last person you want to talk to" Anne said with a smirk
"I'm gonna come in now" she carefully twisted the doorknob and came in, "howdy hey" she waved awkwardly at the golden Queen "what do you want" she said with an edge that made Anne flinch slightly
Anne sat on her bed and stared at her "to know exactly what is up with you today" at that Aragon looked at her, Anne took note her eyes with slightly red rimmed "you've been crying, what's wrong?" Anne said softer than she'd ever be with Aragon in a million years. "I- shut my door..." Catherine said
Anne hit up closed the door and locked it "I did as you said now talk." She said sharper then intended.
"I don't know, guilty? I feel guilty I never got to parent Mary or even see her out of her teenage years" Anne sighed, Anne understood the guilt of not being there for your child.
"I get that, I- I had a kid too, her name was Elizabeth, she was three when I was executed. I know you wouldn't know that because we have a unspoken agreement that we never look up or talk about things in our past lives but you need to hear that at least someone gets it." Anne said gently
"I never got to see her grow up.and man it sucks, I sometimes I wonder of she believed those things said about me or even missed me." Aragon looked shocked I won't blame her for that.
"Me and Mary never got along but I can tell you she cared, she cared a lot." Anne smiled as she and Aragon feel into a comfortable silence.
***
The next day Aragon was back to normal, their bickering and snarky comments are more banter then tension today, Anne decides she likes this odd newfound friendship.
