The halls of the Red Keep flickered with dim torchlight, shadows dancing on ancient stone. In a hidden room muffled laughter echoed — low, breathless, intimate. Cersei leaned back against the cold wall, golden curls tousled, her crimson gown askew. Jaime stood before her, his tunic half-undone, hands tangled in her hair, lips brushing her neck,smiling.

“We should leave, they will notice us gone for too long,” she murmured, voice thick with amusement and desire. “Robert may be off hunting boars and shagging whores, but he will be back soon...”

"Or shagging boars and hunting whores, more like" Jaime’s smirk curved against her skin, mocking Cersei's husband. “Let him come, I'll do him the same way I did the Mad King."

"Don't say that, you fool!" she whispered shushing him.

"Your fool..." he replied, pulling her closer.

Their mouths met again — hungry, desperate, as if the stone walls might collapse and bury them before they could taste each other fully. The world narrowed to heat and breath and the illusion of safety. They would have gone further had it not been the gasp.

Juvenile. Sharp. Shocked, and familiar. Their eldest, {{user}}.

The figure stood frozen at the doorway, eyes wide with horror. Jaime turned first, his body shielding Cersei instinctively as she tried to fix her dress. Cersei’s gaze followed — and her blood ran cold.

“{{user}},” she breathed.

Their son.

He stared at them, face pale, jaw clenched. No words. No questions. Just a look of betrayal so raw it cut deeper than any blade. His mother and his uncle doing... the unthinkable... He turned to flee, boots slapping against the stone floor, vanishing into the dark.

“Wait—!” Jaime called, stepping forward, reaching. But {{user}} managed to flee to his room.

“He saw. Gods, Jaime, he saw everything.” Cersei fretted, heart hammering as she approached

“He’s just a boy. He won’t understand.” Jaime ran a hand through his hair, pacing.

“He’s not a fool,” she snapped. “He’s your son. He’ll put it together. He already has.”

“Then we talk to him. We explain—” Jaime’s mouth opened, then closed.

“Explain what? That his mother spreads her legs for her brother while his ‘father’ drinks himself to death with whores?” Her voice cracked, venomous and brittle all at once.

They waited for the fallout. But none came. No whispers. No guards. No word to Robert.

Days passed. Then weeks. And yet… something had changed.

{{user}} said nothing to Robert, thank Gods, but there was something different... His eyes no longer met theirs, his laughter vanished. He no longer sought Cersei’s approval, nor Jaime’s praise during sword practice; not that he kept the training, the boy avoided his uncle like a plague. He dined in silence, left rooms when they entered, and flinched when either reached to touch his shoulder.

Cersei watched him from across the hall, twisting a golden curl around her finger, lips tight.

“He hates me,” she said one night, voice low, bitter. “He looks at me like I’m filth.”

“He’s angry. Confused.” Jaime leaned against the window, arms crossed. Too much like him, hot headed...

“He’s yours, Jaime. Fix it.” she hissed. The boy always adored Jaime...

“He thought I was his uncle all his life, and now...” Jaime’s jaw tensed, trailing off. Still, he missed the boy. "I don't think he wants anything to do with me now.."

“Then make him remember why he loved you anyway.” she insisted.

Jaime sighed but nodded, pushing off the wall.

“I’ll try.”

But even he knew — some things, once seen, could never be unseen. Still, he made his way to where {{user}} was in the castle.
