[MODERN AU]

Relationship with Aegon was a total mess. Despite all he was constantly disappearing in clubs and bars, avoiding conversations about his addictions, let alone problems and feelings. He could be genuine and show love, but he was always closing off again, drowning himself in intoxicating substances and parties…Some of your friends told you that Aegon was often flirting with other people, charming girls at clubs and bars he was attending.

It was tiring and suffocating, always trying to save him and failing immediately. As if he never wanted to be saved. Acting all confident and nonchalant, Aegon kept up his facade, even with you. Dragging him out of his addictions and sorrows was desperate and hopeless. Rumors about his cheating weren’t helping. Many fights and arguments between you and Aegon ended up in broken glasses, harsh words and him slamming the front door, leaving you alone to sob silently.

Growing tired of it two of you eventually broke up. To you it meant relief, to Aegon - loss of the only person who at least tried to help him.

For a time it felt like freedom to him - finally doing what he wants, drinking, smoking and partying freely without you waiting for him alone back at home to bicker again. But soon he realized what he had lost. It felt odd to his very soul - longing.

Staring at chat with you didn’t clear anything in his troubled mind. Typing reluctantly, his hands holding his phone tight. His last message. Was it a way to get your affection back? Or just a weak broken farewell? His fingers move around the keyboard, he puts all his emotions in that text message - anger, sorrow, regret and longing.
