Game of Thrones - One Shots/Imagines: Part Two (Completed)

Theon Greyjoy X Baratheon!Reader - What I Like About You

A/N- This imagine is based on the song 'What I Like About You' by Jonas Blue and Theresa Rex. It's another shorty, but I hope you all enjoy it.

It had started with you missing one of your sewing lessons with Septa Mordane. You never skipped classes, not even when you were sick. But that morning you had just not shown up. You had spent hours attempting to come up with a good excuse, but nothing sounded quite strong enough, especially when all you had been doing was sitting in the courtyard watching the boys sparring. 

You had found yourself gaining interest in their fighting as of late, sitting in on their sessions whenever you could find the time and attempting to hide the way your cheeks would heat up when Theon would pay any attention to you. But he had noticed, of course, he had seen the way you smiled whenever you saw him, had noticed the way your face would tint red when he would tease you. 

He had always adored the innocent little good girl act you put on, and there was no doubting it was all an act. You were a princess, and there were certain things that were expected of you, but when you were on your own with the Stark children, and Theon, hidden away behind closed doors, you were positively devious. 

You were always the first to come up with some hairbrained scheme to torture your tutors and the first to suggest breaking the rules. And, more to Theon's surprise, you had never been caught. You were the perfect little rebel and he couldn't help but be drawn in.

*Time Skip*

"Good morning," you started, sitting at Theon's side and snatching a crispy slice of bacon off of his plate. You grinned when he grumbled a protest, taking a small bite and watching as he raised his eyebrows in question.

"Don't push your luck, there's only so much food theft I will allow." 

You chuckled, gesturing for one of the servers to bring you your breakfast. "I don't believe you,-" you answered him softly, "-where I'm concerned, you'd allow your entire plate to be taken right out from under your nose." 

He dug his fork back into the food in front of him, grunting some sort of disagreement as he continued to fill his mouth, and drawing another laugh from you. 

"I make you soft," you added, causing him to choke slightly on his mouthful of food. "And you have made me careless."  His brows furrowed when he finally stopped spluttering, watching you in confusion. "Septa Mordane spent the majority of yesterday evening lecturing me about the importance of never skipping my lessons. I couldn't even think of a good way to get out of it."

"Why are you telling me this?" he started, his face all scrunched up as he attempted to come up with an answer to his own question.

You shrugged slightly, "I think it would be best if we just got this over with," you answered, giving him a small smile, "all this, will we; won't we, business isn't good for either of us."

"Yeah," his voice was so soft when he uttered the word that you could barely hear it, and you could only watch on as he turned his head down to look into his lap. "I'll try keeping my distance from now on," he cleared his throat as he finished, and your mouth fell open.

"I..." you started softly, shifting forward and resting your hand on his knee. "That wasn't what I meant," you finally managed, reaching forward and turning his head to look at you. "I think I'm in love with you, dummy." 

You leant in, pressing your lips to his in a light kiss. When you pulled back he was smiling, his hand coming up to cup your cheek. You sat like that for a moment, the silence ebbing between you until his smile fell from his lips. "Your father will never allow this," he started softly, and you shook your head.

"This has nothing to do with him," you interrupted, shaking your head slightly, "he sent me away to have me marry one of Lord Stark's sons. You may not be a Stark, but you are as close to them as he was when he was young." He nodded for a moment, and you drew his eyes back to yours. "He will listen to me."
