Lowborn!Aemond x Highborn!Reader

Summary: You are the daughter of Prince Daemon and a close friend of Prince Aegon who, like your father, is notorious for sneaking off to the streets of flea bottom. The one time you decide to join him on his nightly endeavours, you run into a charming yet mysterious someone who’s as beautiful as the sapphire that’s replaced one of his eyes.

Daemon being the cool dad. A bit of angst too, sorry.

Part 1, Part 2

Part 3

Aemond was a blushing mess by the time they made it back to the dragon pit. He was thankful for the lack of light, though he wasn’t sure how long he could keep himself from smiling.

"Did you have fun?" you asked him as you were undoing the buckles of the saddle so that your dragon might get a comfortable and some well-deserved good night's sleep.

"Why y-yes of course I did" Aemond tried to keep a calm composure despite his heart quiet literally beating violently against his chest. You found it adorable how he was a mess, unable to form sentences without stammering.

As soon as the saddle slid off with a loud thud, Sephtis immediately turned from you to coil away and submit to sleep.

You wasted no time in turning around and wrapping your arms around Aemond, pulling him in for a kiss to which he first reacted with a surprised grunt but then later hummed against your lips as his arms slid around your waist. For some reason, you found kissing him rather addictive. Your fingers ran through his dusty blonde hair as his hands grabbed and pulled at your waist while his lips moved expertly against yours.

"The sun will be up any minute" you managed to speak as he gently nibbled your bottom lip.

"Hmm" he hummed into your mouth "I know"

"Unless you want to be found like this" you pulled away slightly with a giggle "I suggest you make a run for it before they take your head off"

"Oh I'll be killed you say" he grinned and you almost leaned in to capture his lips in yours again "for being found tasting the princess' lips with my own? What a way to go"

You laughed at this, a sound that Aemond seemed to want to hear more of. He knew he couldn’t wait any longer though, as much as he wanted to. He had never really thought or been bitter about not being born a noble until this very moment. If he were a highborn, he wouldn’t have to meet you in secret, kiss you when no one could see, or leave you each time before the sun arose.

With one final kiss, the boy gave you a mischievous wink before he sneaked off through the passageways you both had used to get there.

The blush that dusted your cheeks still remained even after his departure and for some reason you had that silly smile still plastered on your face as you left the pits to head back to the keep.

You ran into Aegon first who was surprised to see you in such a good mood; you were known to be the grumpy one during the hours of the morror just as much as he was known to be the sleepy one.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" he curiously asked "you look like you've drowned a glass of wine with the way you're smiling"

"I'm just happy" you beamed at him that caught him even further by surprise. You then tugged his arm and lowered your voice until it was nothing more than a whisper "If anyone asks, you were with me when we went for a short flight with Sephtis"

"Huh-" he sounded puzzled "I never left the castle last night. I don’t know who you were with all night but you most certainly can’t use me as your scapegoat. Mother had me wake up earlier than usual for my lessons of the faith so she knows I never went into the city"

"Gods, maybe no one knows I was out?" you hopefully asked. If you couldn’t use Aegon as your alias then you were practically out of options apart from the fact that you could lie and deny that there was no one with you on dragonback; that is, if anyone even saw you. There might be a possibility that the guards never saw Aemond.

As if the timing of the whole thing was planned, your father walked toward you down the hallway.

"Good morning perzys" (flame) He greeted but he had no smile on his face like how he normally did each morning when he greeted you "a word?"

You gulped and Aegon offered you a nervous smile before he gave you a gentle pat on the shoulder, as if to say 'good luck' and walked away to let the both of you talk.

"Yes, kepa?" (Father) You timidly asked, ready to hear the scolding but instead he said something completely different.

"I was made aware this morning of your little trip around the city on dragonback accompanied by someone" he sighed, keeping his voice down "I do not care if you are having a fling of some sort, you have my permission"

You opened your mouth to say something but daemon raised his finger to let you know he wasn't done talking.

"But please do not be so reckless that you are seen by the others" he continued and you were surprised by how little he cared about it. Then again, he too was known to be a frequent visitor to the streets of silk so it wasn’t that much of a shocker when he seemed to be okay with you having risky endeavours of your own "and just to be sure, have a cup of moon tea after your... nights of fun"

"What- no!" you immediately blurted out, mortified that your father concluded you were entertaining boys into between your legs "no, he's my friend"

"A friend, not a fling?" Daemon repeated, not convinced "and is this friend worth risking your reputation for by sneaking off into the city?"

You didn’t know how to tell your father that you had taken a fancy toward this 'friend' of yours. How would you even explain that a dragon had fallen for a lowborn?

Daemon seemed to already have a hunch of this since his next question was:

"Do you fancy this boy?"

Gods, this was not how you thought your morning would go. You were expecting a warm bath, not a conversation with your father in which you would have to discuss about your lover; a forbidden one.

"Will you be upset if I say yes?"

Daemon sighed before he lovingly placed his arm on your shoulder. How could he be upset at his sweet daughter for simply liking a boy?

"I'm not upset, sweetling" he gave you a tender smile as he rubbed your shoulder reassuringly "but you must know that you cannot afford to have hopes when it comes to this friend of yours. You are a princess, a dragon and well, he is merely your subject"

You knew that every word he spoke was the truth but it still stung. From the very beginning, you knew what a dangerous game you were playing when you sneaked off to meet him, when you lost yourself to daydreams about him, when you kissed him. There was never a chance for the both of you and yet, you still went after him.

"Does every marriage have to be for a political advantage?" you huffed in annoyance "am I simply a prized mare to be bidded off to form alliances?"

"Y/N.." Daemon sighed.

"This is so unfair" for some reason you found yourself on the verge of tears even though you knew all of this beforehand.

"Perhaps it would be best if you ended this... propinquity now before you grow any more attached" he sadly told you. Daemon wasn’t one who played by the rules and he hated seeing you sad but he knew in this case even his hands were tied "the notion of wedding a mere lowborn is an impossibility"

You were sure Aemond knew that his relationship with you was never going to lead anywhere. And yet, the idea of having to tell him, and then to further suggest that the both of you shouldn’t meet was soul crushing.

"I'm sorry my dear" Daemon kissed your forehead "had he been a man of high station, even a baron who falls in the lower end of that list, I might’ve been in your favour but you and I both know there is no chance for the both of you"

The thought of never again seeing him broke your heart. You had grown so accustomed to meeting him almost every evening that you now couldn’t think of going on a day without seeing him.

But you knew you would have to tell him, you knew one day this would end; you just never expected it to be this.. soon.

When night came and you adorned your simpler clothes, you left the castle to meet Aemond. In truth you were hesitant, afraid even. A part of you wanted to just continue whatever was going on but the sensible part of yourself knew that this matter needed to be addressed.

Aemond awaited your arrival at the usual spot which was at a generous distance from the exit of the passageway. He had his signature boyish grin as he lovingly gazed at you, arm outstretched for you to slip your hand into his like how you always did before he led you off to show you some fascinating part of the city. He seemed to be smiling a lot more than normal and you knew it was because of that kiss you shared just the night before

Gods, you didn't have the heart to tell him.

"Beautiful as always Y/N" he kissed your knuckles as soon as you gave him your hand "I discovered this lovely place that-"

"I don’t think we should meet each other any more" you blurted out. It pained you to see the sudden shift in his expression from eager and happy to confused and dejected.

"Why?" he asked, the pain in his voice evident. His confident and joyous demeanour faltered as he gazed at you, hoping this was some sort of un-funny joke "what- why?"

"This is only going to hurt us if we continue" you did not want to do this "I'm a princess and you.."

You couldn’t finish your sentence.

"You can say it, I'm a lowborn" he huffed a sigh "but I was always one, you knew of our stations from the start. So what changed now?"

"Nothing Changed, this was inevitable, sooner or later we would have to part ways" you cried out, still holding his hand, afraid that if you let go he might disappear "I knew this wasn’t going to lead anywhere-"

"We both knew that" he interrupted "we both knew that one day this would end. I just never thought it would happen right after you kissed me"

"I didn’t want for us to stop at all" your voice faltered "i-I.. I wanted you to be my forever, i-if that makes any sense. And that’s why we have to.. you know.."

Aemond was hoping this was some nightmare. He knew this day would come but he expected it to be months later when you would be married off to someone- wait..

"Are you going to be wed?" he asked.

"No, I am not promised to anyone yet" you looked down as you shifted your weight from one leg to another "I had a fleeting thought of.. it does not matter"

A fleeting thought of marrying you, you thought.

Of marrying me?, Aemond hopefully guessed but you never finished your statement. It was foolish of him to even hope for that to be your response, why would you imagine wanting to marry a man with nothing?

"Why did you kiss me?" he softly asked. He wanted you to say it, he desperately needed to hear you tell him in your own voice that you felt something for him. That he did not just make up this entire romance in his head, that for once someone loved him regardless of his appearance or penury.

You looked up and gazed into his eye, filled with so much hurt that it almost made you cry.

"I fell for you" you answered in a gentle voice, taking a step forward "I never thought I would and it wasn’t because of your station. It was because no one has ever made me feel like you did. Everyone I've ever met treated me like I was some creature of gold they were trying to lure for their gain. While you, you treated me like I was a person, like I mattered on my own without the accompaniment of a title"

"You say my station is the only thing keeping us apart, something the court of nobles will not overlook" he took a step toward you as well "What about you, are you affected by my lack of wealth or a title?"

"I have never cared about those things" You replied honestly, never tearing away your gaze from his "I've always wanted you for you"

Aemond's hand left yours to cup your face, closing the distance between the both of you as he crashed his lips into yours. In response, your hands went to rest on his chest, fisting the fabric of his shirt. He kissed you with such urgency and you responded with the same level of passion.

Neither of you wanted to pull away, knowing that this was the last time you would be in such close embrace but eventually you both had to break the kiss for some air.

"I will leave for Ashai, tomorrow" Aemond breathed out, his lips brushing against yours "there isn’t any reason for me to be here"

"Ashai? well, will you write to me?" you hopefully asked, slightly taken aback by how quickly he came up with the decision.

"Thought you said it was best we do not consort" he chuckled sadly.

In truth, you did not want him to go but you wouldn’t ask him to stay especially since you'd just told him that you both shouldn’t see each other again. You gently slid a ring off your finger, a dainty one made from Valerian steel which had a purple gem stone, a similar colour to your eyes.

"Here," you placed the priceless piece of jewellery in the palm of his hand "something to remember me by"

"I won’t need any help remembering, princess" he told you as he closed his hand into the fist before pocketing the ring "you should get back, t-to the castle"

"Yes" you breathed out, suddenly feeling very empty as he took a few steps away from you.

"Oh and Y/N" he turned around to look at you, offering you a playful smile though the sadness in his eye betrayed him "don’t go wandering the streets by yourself when I've left"

You smiled sadly at his comment before heading back to the keep, choking back sobs. And unbeknownst to you, Aemond too was furiously wiping away a few tears that were streaming down his face.
