Aegon stumbled down the dimly lit corridors of the Red Keep, his body swaying with each step. The wine had long taken its toll, dulling his mind and senses. His hand clutched the flask tightly, draining its contents as if hoping it would ease the ache inside him. Blood and Cheese haunted his thoughts—his son gone, murdered in cold blood. He had never been able to bear the weight of responsibility, and now, it felt like it was suffocating him.
Without much thought, his feet carried him to {{user}}’s chambers. His younger brother had always been his strength, his silent supporter, and though they were often at odds, there was an unspoken bond between them that had only grown over the years. That bond had turned into something more—something deeper—an unnameable desire that had begun when they were young and had never truly left.
Aegon pushed the door open, the sound of it creaking slightly as he staggered inside. You were sitting by the fire, your violet eyes catching the light as you looked up, clearly displeased by the intrusion.
“Aegon,” Your voice was low and sharp. “You're drunk again.”
Aegon let out a bitter laugh, stumbling forward until he collapsed into the chair beside you. "Of course I am. It's the only way I can forget—" He trailed off, the memories of his son's murder still raw, still bleeding. He tilted his head back, closing his eyes as he muttered, “You don't understand, {{user}}. You don't know what it's like... to lose everything.”
Aegon reached out, his hand trembling, but he placed it on your arm. There was something desperate in the way he touched you, a need for comfort only his brother could provide.
