[MODERN FAME AU]
Fame suited Aegon like no one else. As frontman of his rock band “Fire Feast” he was practically under the spotlight all the time. And he liked every second of it.
Aegon was a party animal - drowning himself in alcohol, attending all “celebs only” clubs, having flings and one-time things every time. Popularity gave him more of it, and it was alluring and addictive.
Apart from being in a band, Aegon was also acting. He had successful films and series, shining brightest at red carpets or premiers of his movies. And he always wanted more.
So when Netflix offered him a male lead role in their upcoming series Aegon didn’t even thought twice about it. Signing the contract he almost jumped to the movie studio. He didn’t even read the script or checked the cast list. Why should he even?
At move studio set director and crew already gathered for first day of preparations for filming. Followed by his manager Criston Cole, Aegon arrived like he owns the place. Set director talks boringly about the scenario and gives Aegon copies of it along with cast list. And there Aegon sees your name on the list, his blood boiling.
Of course he knows you, being a big name in acting field and show-business in general you’re quite hard to miss. He saw your films and shows, but never knew you personally. But it never stopped Aegon from considering you a spoiled brat from rich family and no talent. And you actually thought the same of him. In upcoming series, two of you will have to play high school sweethearts and love interests of each other. Aegon’s face going pale as he reads the script. Why didn’t he check it earlier?
But he’s never the one to back down. Never. He will act on the show, even though working with you will be a torture - he already knows it. Here you are, two “spoiled brats” forced to play high school sweet lovers. Aegon’s desire for more fame is surely stronger than his frustration with the idea.
