bakerstreet | Hide it away

hidden relationship;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not supposed to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

Only vaguely. I liked to make up one on one fights, Bran liked ones where he had to save some damsel in distress, Sansa liked ones where she was being saved. Rickon thought it was boring.

It is. You should see it.

Seems about right for all of you. What kind of fights are in the stars like that?

[A beat.] I want to. With you, if you'll show me.

Epic ones, obviously. I don't know, but I always included enough blood to gross Sansa out.

...I'd like that. Is it - possible?

Should I not-really-kidnap you?

[Cella stops to think about this a moment.]

It wouldn't have to be a kidnapping if I found someone to cover for me. And I wouldn't even have to tell the person covering for me that I was going off with you. [Because the only person that can cover for her that her mom will listen to is Tommen, and Tommen can cover up a general disappearance but he wouldn't be able to keep the secret of his sister dating a Stark girl.] I could just say I'm going to a party or a festival or something like that.

[Oh, that should not be as cute as it is.] I have to be honest, before this, I would not have thought you'd do something like that.

Would they let you, without some type of chaperone or something?

[Surprise! Cute is one of Cella's greatest talents.] I never have before, but maybe I should. Joff shouldn't get to be the bad child all the time.

I'd think, yeah. Better if it's one of Dad's weekends, he doesn't pay attention and he wouldn't tattle on me if he did.

[This is not really a surprise at all.] I would much rather watch you be bad than watch him - do anything, actually.

Alright. Just tell me when, then. [She is not excited at all and you definitely can't tell from looking at her. /s]

I mean, that's true of most people. He's... well, himself. [And while Cella's by no means the target of his worst offenses, she does know that well.] I dunno, how much warning do you need?

It is true of most people. It's extra true of him. [But even she can manage to bite on her tongue on talking shit about him other than that, here. Although the face she makes doing so must be hilarious.] A day? Like 24 hours. That would do.

[Look, Cella's not going to complain. She just feels compelled to be tactful because blah, blah, family.] I'm gonna need a little more time than that, personally. To get the lies set up and all. But I'm with Dad a couple weekends from now?

[Blah, blah, family, indeed. Still, she doesn't need to take this moment or this evening there, when it's nice.]

Okay, two weeks. It's a date.

I mean. I hope there are more of those in the interim. But this one is extra-special.

[A big smile. Those come fairly easy to her, especially with Arya present.

I think it's a safe bet. Two whole weeks and not see you? I don't know what I'd do. [She says it a little teasing, but really... it's a true statement.]

I'd go bloody bonkers, personally. Only so much of my so-called real life I can take before I need to run away with you for awhile.

Mmhm. [Granted the things about their so-called real lives that got under their skin might be very different, but oh, that was relatable.] I'm always around for the running away.

[She scoots closer into Arya, chasing a little bit of affection.] And for inspiring that rebel instinct in me, I guess.

[Hint taken - happily, to be honest. Arya slips her arm around her waist, presses a teasing kiss just to the corner of her mouth.] Oh, I am definitely always around for that.

[Oh, not fair! Cella moves in for a real, proper kiss.] You're good at it. And your version of it is more fun than most.

[It's entirely possible that was her plan, and she gives it away by smiling into the kiss.] My version of rebel instinct? Compared to who's?

[Here Cella shrugs, makes a face, and pulls back enough to say:] I dunno, dumb rich kids? [Aka most of the people she's around most of the time.]

[She should not have asked, that was so not worth having Cella pull away for.] Fair enough.

[Don't worry, she's leaning right back in.] See, you're much more fun. I don't do this with dumb rich kids. I do this with you.

[Thank goodness.] I'm glad you do this with me.

Me too. It's really... [A little kiss as she thinks.] It's just really nice.

Is it bad if... [She's not very concerned, the kiss helps, but there's still a little concern on her face when she finishes her sentence.] if I say it surprised me, how nice this is?
