Chapter Text
“Do you truly need all of this, Rhaenyra?”
Alicent stood with a soft sigh, holding her mug of steaming black coffee as she walked through the small expanse of her living room which was now mostly covered by unopened brown boxes that had numerous labels. Rhaenyra had moved in as soon as the six week holiday began, but seemed she couldn’t be arsed to unpack the boxes she brung willingly, she had packed some away, but only a little.
“Uh, obviously! This is barely even half, I left most of my shit in one of my dad’s storage units,” Rhaenyra retorted, finishing off her Costa ham and cheese toastie while her cat purred near her ankle. Alicent sipped at her coffee, setting the object down to give the younger woman an exasperated stare, running a hand down her face at how unorganised her apartment had become. Her foot nudged a box, softly grumbling before grasping her car keys from their pot to slide it down the tape–A grimace was what came over Alicent when she saw what was inside, her cheeks reddening as she pushed it away.
Rhaenyra, who was stroking her young cat after finishing her toastie, looked over and shamelessly walked over, a happy smile on her face as she picked the box up to set it down on the settee, “I don't think lingerie should invoke a reaction like that.”
“Who keeps their lingerie in a box? This should’ve been the first thing you opened!” Alicent’s hands ran down her face before muttering ‘twat’ under her breath, snatching up the box in her own grip and taking it to their newly shared bedroom. Truth be told, Rhaenyra had made the area more livelier, the desk that sat by the window now had two laptops, stupidly sweet candles upon it, the bed now had two dents in the quilt rather than one; Sublime, was the feeling that rushed over her as she stared around the now-cluttered room.
She shook her head, letting her face carry a smile while focusing on unpacking the underclothes that made her grimace and fluster up only a minute ago. Alicent diligently folded the lacy wear with soft sighs, setting them into the drawer before standing back up, breaking down the box while walking back into the living room where another box sat opened with photo frames and such.
“Living your best life?” Alicent spoke aloud as she tossed the box into the recycling - her gaze briefly stared at the calendar, recycling was on monday - the words stayed directed towards Rhaenyra who was happily lounging about, her provocative shirt ridden up just barely that it revealed some of the reddened stretch marks she had. As if on purpose, Alicent’s view was tarnished by that stupid ginger cat of Rhaenyra’s as it draped over stomach when laying down and began to knead on her owner’s hips.
“I am, you are really missing out,” Rhaenyra’s grin was always so present in her voice whenever spoke, it was one of her qualities that Alicent adored. But she shook it off, making her way to the settee where her girlfriend was laid on, sitting on the free cushion and not even stirring when a head of blonde-silver waves fell over her lap. Alicent’s hand gently massaged her scalp, shaking her head briefly before tugging the freshly opened box over to stare at the contents within. A smile slithered back onto her lips as the first photo was the mirror one they had taken in the wetherspoons near them a year ago–Though, Alicent froze up with heated cheeks when she ultimately remembered the touching she had done to this very picture.
Her foot carefully nudged it away, clearing her throat and looking down where Rhaenyra was staring up at her with a little hum, grasping her free hand to toy with as a comfortable silence filled the expanse of the apartment, the purring from the pampered cat feeding into the tranquility.
Ultimately, the moment was broken by Rhaenyra who lazily shuffled up to rest her head on Alicent’s collarbone, not even flinching whether partner’s arm instantly wrapped around her shoulder to bring her in more closely. Alicent huffed when a phone was thrusted into her face; screen broadcasting a random reel that showcased something terribly random that Alicent just sighed and leaned her head back, closing her eyes while Rhaenyra continued to giggle and show her the entire clip of random people doing stupid stunts–Alicent never bothered with Instagram, it was boring and plain in her opinion which had gotten an ‘old’ comment coming from Rhaenyra.
“Going to be productive at any point this morning?” Alicent finally spoke up, her arm loosening when the other woman shifted around before loudly sighing when she sat up and stretched - Syrax the cat had let out an indignant meow before leaping onto the carpet - Alicent’s gaze stayed focused on Rhaenyra, roaming over her frame before settling on her lovely side profile when it was tilted down when Rhaenyra focused on picking up an unopened box that stated ‘essentials’.
“Never doubt me,” Rhaenyra hoisted it up, smirking with pride even as the box staggered down her torso before moving out of the living room while Alicent huffed—rubbing her eyes as her gaze eventually drifted to her work laptop sitting abandoned on the coffee table, followed with a copious amount of stapled lined paper in designated polly pockets, essays from her year twelves-now thirteens.
Alicent’s focus turned briefly to her partner in the other room before lazily sighing, sitting up to grasp her laptop and essays and shifting to the now-shared bedroom so she could sit at her desk. For a moment, it was peaceful; Syrax had laid down beside her laptop surprisingly while Rhaenyra had soon moved to the bedroom after finishing up her essentials box, laying on her stomach on their bed all as Alicent graded with ease.
The silence continued, the teacher too focused on correcting the slightest mistake made on the sheets—or deliberately giving out zero’s when a student accidentally left their chatgpt prompt in—Due to her distraction, Alicent never noticed Rhaenyra creeping closer beside her, phone shoved in her front pocket while slowly manoeuvring herself closer. Then a soft grunt left Alicent when she felt a weight settle on her lap, arms around her neck with a face buried in her jawline.Yet, all Alicent could do was gently massage the younger woman’s back while she began to whine about being needy.
“I can’t see,” Alicent eventually spoke out, lips pressed against the woman’s hairline when she shrugged but her voice held no malice as subtly adjusted her sitting position to make Rhaenyra more comfortable.
Rhaenyra’s hands creeped up to the back of Alicent’s neck, fiddling with some of the sensitive baby curls there while murmuring, “Get over it.”
They both sat in silence after this, Alicent’s pen scratching away while Rhaenyra zoned out, lips pressing against Alicent’s neck every so often.
–
Evening routines had been done; Rhaenyra had her hour-long shower while Alicent did a facial cleanse, laying on her bed in her incredibly millennial pyjamas. Once the younger woman came out, Alicent simply rolled her eyes at her ludicrous display of Rhaenyra’s wet - fucking hot - tits and the rest of her body as it seemed she voted to only have her silver-blonde hair in the towel rather than her body.
“Seven hells,” Alicent muttered, pinching the bridge of nose while shamelessly staring at her pliable curves before looking away to grasp her half-read book by Shirley Jackson, letting Rhaenyra laugh aloud while she moisturized and dried her wavy hair. Soon, she climbed into the spot beside her partner, adjusting her skimpy wine red lacy night gown before wrapping an arm around her body.
Her hand idly brushed over Syrax’s fur when the pampered cat lunged accordingly onto the bed for a moment, soaking up all the attention she could get from her owner before jumping off the double bed when her paw kneaded against Alicent’s elbow, a true horror apparently. Rhaenyra softly hummed, nudging her nose into the woman’s shoulder before her hand moved quicker than her thoughts could conjure. Fingers moving to shove the bookmark between the pages Alicent was on so she could delicately set the book back on the organised nightstand.
Rhaenyra’s head moved first, her fingers then moving to cup Alicent’s chin to bring her into a gentle kiss to avoid the scolding she was about to be given about the stupid book. Alicent’s lips met her with eagerness, Rhaenyra smirking into the kiss as the other woman grasped her nape, pulling her in closer while Alicent nipped at her bottom lip–bare, breathy needy whines leaving them both.
“My book–”
“–is bookmarked,” Rhaenyra cut her off despite the pinch at the back of her neck, the fervour between them returning as Alicent’s hands roamed down, hands groping the back of her thighs before coaxing Rhaenyra onto her lap which she eagerly complied with. The atmosphere became sensual, breaths matching each other once Alicent’s lips left Rhaenyra’s own, a sloppy string of saliva leaving both sets of swollen skin, soon trailing down the curve of Rhaenyra’s neck who sighed and softly whimpered into Alicent’s ear all while the said woman’s hands moved to toy with the lacey hem of Rhaenyra’s night gown so it hiked up her arse before she finally pulled back after leaving a few saliva-coated bruises on Rhaenyra’s neck.
A breathy laugh left Alicent, shaking her head as she lazily patted Rhaenyra’s hip, coaxing her back to laying on her side just as they both shared a gentler kiss. Alicent laid on her side, plugging her phone in before turning off her bedside lamp, snuggling into her covers while Rhaenyra stayed quiet, doing her own little bedtime ritual until eventually, they were both laying on their sides. A peaceful moment before slumber, even with the added heavy rain from outside the apartment windows.
It was peaceful. Well, that was before Alicent felt a warm hand slither under her paddington cami top, the limb staying there for a few seconds before sliding down to the waistband of her shorts–The action then staggered once Alicent let out a sharp whine when the hand disappeared properly under the cotton of the shorts, lost for words before the perpetrator spoke up.
“Want to shag? Rhaenyra’s hand stayed present in Alicent’s need, peering at her partner’s side profile with a crooked smirk.
“Fucking… oh my gods, you are such a twat!”
They were famous last words as Alicent turned around quickly, capturing her lips without a dose of hesitance.
