WE'RE ON A CRUISE MEME

That's right. It's cruisin' time! It's one of those cruises were everyone is magically on it (maybe it's one of those fundraiser/charity things) There's a full bar, a pool, deck chairs, a night club, private cabins, all the things that come with a cruise ship. Sunbathe, get drunk, fall overboard, stuff your face, play shuffle board.

DO WHAT YOU WANT. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Won't your parents be angry? Your dad seems like a real hardass. [ Where as his parents let him do fuck-all he wants. At least, mostly; sometimes his dad gets angry at him, but more often than not... ]

[ Well, Robert's busy. He's the fucking president. Of course he doesn't pay much attention to his own son. He just doesn't have time to. ]

They were the ones that made me come. [She explained. Yeah, her dad was, but he meant well. She just didn't see it most of the time.]

Made you come? Don't you like cruises? [ #judgingyourtastes - can't you appreciate nice things like cruises? There's no homework, no teachers, no school, no chores, no cooking... Sure, no tennis, either, but they could swim all night and tan all day on the on-board swimming pool. ]

They're supposed to be relaxing, Sansa.

No, I love cruises. It's just I had rehearsal. I kinda needed to be there for that, what with being the lead and all that. [One of these days, there will be an art gala and everyone will attend and Cersei will be there and it will be wonderful.]

I am relaxing. [She tries to tell him, moving a bit closer as subtly as she can. Help her relax, Joffrey, she's begging you.]

You're not relaxing if you're thinking about your stupid rehearsal.

[ Gosh, girl. Can't even vacation right! Not that much else can be expected of Starks, he supposes - they're all high strung. ]

It's not a stupid rehearsal. [She says, maybe too harshly. Rehearsal is a big deal. She gets to sing and dance and be whisked off by a prince and wear gorgeous dresses. Which, okay, she does here, kinda. Joffrey isn't a prince. And she's in a bikini. But same thing, right?]

I'm trying to relax.

[ He disagrees - it's a very stupid rehearsal and he's pretty much forgotten he already promised to attend. Whenever she talks about it through text messages, he rolls his eyes and laughs. In person he just rolls his eyes, like he's doing now. But he relents, sighs. ]

You're not very good at it.

[ And reaches out a hand for her to take, even as he keeps eyes trained on the waves rolling off the side of the cruise ship. ]

It's not really relaxed around my house. [She confides, taking his hand. Her stomach is doing flip-flops as she takes it, holding it gently. Joffrey was holding her hand! This is a HUGE THING in the teen girl category. Scandalous hand holding! Arya would be barfing over the side of the ship right now. But not Sansa.]

I'm working on it. [She smiles at him. This is helping.]

[ Well, if hand-holding is scandalous, these two better hope that no one's around when he makes to tug her between his front and the railing of the ship. ]

[ Sansa, you better enjoy this proximity. ]

[ This is some Titanic shit, here. Fucking romantic - even if he is kinda...rolling his eyes and making a face as her hair falls into his face. His father keeps making jokes about how the two of them are going to get married, and he really can't stand that image. She's cute and all, but Miss I Can't Properly Relax just gives him a headache most of the time. ]

Just...look at the water or something. [ I'll be here. Slowly dying inside. If this boat sinks like the Titanic, you better be in the water doggy paddling while he's on the door raft. ]

[This is so scandalous. And it is awesome, because there's proxmity and Joffrey breathing on her neck and she feels like she's in Titanic. She's barely holding off with the 'Jack, Jack, I'm flying!' or 'I'm king of the world!' because sorry, Titanic is one of her favorites because romance and Leonardo DiCaprio. And the dresses are gorgeous. But why the hell would anyone throw the Heart of the Ocean back into said ocean? It's stupid.]

[She glances down, watching the waves hit the side of the boat.] It's pretty.

[ Hm, Leonardo DiCaprio... And that diamond! Think how many Benz's could be bought with that shit. Chick must have been senile; fucking old bitch... ]

[ Joffrey doesn't do much other than hum in bored agreement. He couldn't care less that the water is pretty but his open disdain cannot afford to come across right now. He's busy trying to tune her out and decide how worth it it would be to grind against her back or kiss her neck. That whole PDA thing wasn't exactly the water beneath his boat but she was kind of bored. ]

[Shush, Joffrey. it's ROMANTIC. And it's the HEART of the OCEAN so clearly it belongs there. DUH.]

[But oh hey, he's humming and still happily behind her and she really likes this. So she'll just... be content here.] We could play tennis later, if you wanted. They have a tennis court. [And she'll lose on purpose.]
