You were leaving King’s Landing today to back home, and Rhaegar knew that. He did not want you to leave, having you at the Keep with him was one of the few things that brought him comfort. After remaining in his chambers all morning, brooding over the fact you were leaving, he suddenly couldn’t take it any longer.

He rushed out, making his way through the castle and out into the courtyard. He noticed your carriage beginning to move and his heart sank, so he ran over and opened the door of the carriage; making it halt to a stop. You looked shocked to see him, your eyes widened. “Rhaegar, what-“ your words were cut off, Rhaegar’s voice sounding breathless.

“I thought I could do it, that I could let you go and move on.” He said, shaking his head as he held the door open. “But I cannot…my entire being exists for you, I want to be yours…” he explained, letting out a shaky breath. “Marry me…in secret, I want us to be together…” he asked, his eyes pleading.
