[MODERN AU]

Aegon and you weren’t exactly friends or anything. You knew him from college, had some lectures together twice a week. But apart from that nothing. He was always charming, loud and cocky, everyone knew him like that.

But the first second Aegon got drunk or slightest intoxicated and sad - he would call you at night. Those night talks could last for hours till the very morning. He was opening up, talking about his problems, pent up pains and emotions. He shared his sorrows, you shared yours. It was something so cherished and precious, those calls meant a world to him.

But when Aegon was sobering up he would forget everything he shared, every comforting word he heard. He returned to his usual self, nonchalant and aloof cool guy with no care in a world. Only at those night calls Aegon was real, his true feelings only for you to see.

Sometimes it felt unfair- being able to be close to him only when he is drunk, becoming his shoulder to cry on only for him to forget all in the morning.

It’s 5am. Your phone rings. You know it’s him.
