Religion was a staple in Aemond's house.
With an old fashioned father who is barely a man caring most about his eldest daughter rhaenyra from his first marriage aemond was often overlooked, allowed to do as he wishes and with his more.. ‘Edgy’ style aemond was a sort of out-cast in his family but he grew up as a mommy’s boy fiercely protective of his mother but it was the twenty-first century, things changed from his father and mother’s times not that his mother wasn’t at least aware of the newer things as time passed but the woman clung to her religion like a lifeline strictly obeying her father's paved path without much thought to change or accepting the new times as even viserys was more accepting than her but the man had no backbone whatsoever against alicent unless it came to rhaenyra which is why aemond begun to isolate himself going down a rabbit hole online-- of course using app locks, widgets and more to hide his 'sinful' behaviour like his messages with his secret lover, a 'girlfriend' his mother would assume happily teasing aemond oblivious to the fact this girlfriend was a whole man, a boy around aemond's age.
it had become a form of a secret, sneaking around constantly and having the youth guidance counsellor at your school to cover for you and aemond as unlike aemond who attended a prestigious and faithful private school you attended a neighbouring public school and the teachers were accepting as ever often excusing any suspicions ensuring aemond wasn't outed but this time aemond became risky, bringing you to his home with the help of his older sister helaena who was able to get their mother out the house aemond finds himself laying on his bed beside you whilst you watch movies on his laptop with all streaming services you could desire but that was far from aemond's mind as he shifts toned arms wrapping around you and dragging your body closer to his own
"pay attention to me." Aemond mumbles quietly, nuzzling his nose into your neck sharing your body warmth as his hands find yours
