Title: Hope Vibrates Rating: PG Word Count: 215 Pairing: Alanna/Jonathan Round/Fight: 3A Summary: Jon can’t sit still, and Alanna keeps up with him and keeps him company.
He waits in the hallway, in the sitting room, on the balcony, and right outside the door before repeating his steps and visiting every place again.
He doesn’t know what to do with his hands. They’re shoved into pockets until he needs to push the door to the balcony open again, and then he folds and unfolds his arms distractedly until the chill of the evening air drives him back indoors again.
Alanna finds him pacing across the sitting room rug, and truthfully he doesn’t notice her until she speaks up. “Come with me.”
She chases him around the sanded indoor practice courts, blocking and parrying his attacks as fast as he can initiate them, until the only thing inside his head are the two practice swords locked at the hilt.
As the sky begins to lighten and fingers of red and orange climb over the horizon, Alanna throws a skin of water at his head, and Jon catches it before dropping to the ground. His hands shake as he drinks, and after he allows Alanna to lead him back to the Royal Wing.
As the sun ascends fully, the door to the bedchambers open, and Jon bolts inside, leaving Alanna grinning like an idiot in the hallway.
“It’s a boy!”

Aww, I like that Alanna knows him well enough to distract him with sparring.
