A Chance for Love - Aemond Targaryen x Reader
‼️Warning: no warnings
Despite his reputation as a cold and ruthless warrior, Aemond Targaryen had always secretly longed for someone to share his life with. He knew that he was not an easy man to love, but he couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy whenever he saw other couples in love.
One day, Aemond was out riding Vhagar when he stumbled upon a young woman who had been injured in a fall. Aemond dismounted from his dragon and rushed to her side, checking her over for injuries. He was surprised to find that he was drawn to her, despite her disheveled appearance and the dirt smudged on her face.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice gruff.
The woman looked up at him with wide, brown eyes. "I think so," she said, wincing as she tried to sit up. "Thank you for helping me."
Aemond could feel his heart beating faster as he gazed into her eyes. "I should take you back to King's Landing," he said. "You need medical attention."
The woman nodded, and Aemond lifted her up onto Vhagar's back. As they flew back to the city, Aemond couldn't help but steal glances at her, admiring the way the wind whipped through her hair and the gentle curve of her jawline.
When they arrived at the city gates, Aemond led the woman to a healer and watched as she was tended to. He stayed by her side throughout the night, refusing to leave until he was certain that she was well.
As the days turned into weeks, Aemond found himself drawn to the woman more and more. He began to see her not as a helpless victim but as a strong and capable woman who could stand by his side as an equal.
One evening, as they sat together in the gardens of the Red Keep, Aemond tentatively reached out and took the woman's hand. "I know that I'm not an easy man to love," he said, his voice low. "But I would like to try. Will you give me a chance?"
The woman smiled, her eyes sparkling. "I'd like that," she said, leaning in to kiss him.
