The morning light was just starting to shine into the bedchambers. The two that resided in the bed did not stir from the sun's beams as they begun to warm the chambers.
The haze of being between awake and asleep made one of the occupants stir a little before rolling over towards the other person. A call of some random bird made a brown eye snap open. Rhagerys's eye darted around before settling on the figure in front of him. Aemond laid peacefully asleep on his side facing him. Rhagerys could not see Aemond's sapphire eye in the position Aemond laid but that was a decision they both came to. It was Rhagerys that suggested that Aemond should always be on the left side of the bed, so that way he could lie as he was now. He was on his side, his good eye would be able to see Rhagerys as the two lie under the bedsheet away from the world. Rhagerys smiled at how peaceful his cousin–Rhagerys furrowed his brow. He reached up to rub his left eye, just in case he was not fully awake. When he had done so, the image before him was the same.
Aemond was fast asleep, which Rhagerys was grateful to see. He quietly lifted his head up to look at his cousin with both eyes open. What he saw he was not sure if the right choice was to close his eyes and pretend to sleep until Aemond woke himself or if he should move in a very pronounced way to wake Aemond so he could quickly turn away from him. Rhagerys did not know what to do, so he just laid there. His head tilted a little so he could stare at Aemond with both eyes. He silently watched his cousin sleep contently. That was one major reason he did not move. Aemond looked so peaceful. As if he felt safe with Rhagerys. At least enough to do what he was now doing. Rhagerys had never seen a man grown do such an act, just little Joffrey. He was mesmerized as he watched Aemond, fearsome Aemond, the rider of the greatest dragon alive, the man who carried himself in such a way that Rhagerys could not help but be secretly impressed, suck his thumb.
Rhagerys knew he needed to do something other than stare. Yet, his eyes could not leave the serene face before him. He also could not help the slight smile that tugged at the corner of his lips. Rhagerys would never say it out loud but Aemond looked like an innocent boy in that moment. That anything and everything that had ever been done to him in a cruel manner did not effect him. Rhagerys's eyes drifted down to Aemond's lips. The way his lips curved around his thumb. The subtle suck noise he heard every so often. The barely audible content hum that escaped Aemond's closed mouth. Rhagerys's slight smile was turning into a true one. He did not know why but he knew he wanted to remember the moment. His eyes lifted back up to take in Aemond's sweet face. His breath hitched. Rhagerys's mismatched eyes were met with one very wide lilac one.
Aemond felt white, hot panic engulf his body. His breathing became heavy, it verged on erratic. Aemond could only stare at Rhagerys as he stared back. Both of them refused to break eye contact. When he saw Rhagerys open his mouth to say something, Aemond struck first. He ripped his thumb out of his mouth and sat up. “One word and I will end you.” He lowly threatened. Aemond knew that was next to impossible. Not unless he had a sword in hand. Rhagerys was just too big for him to take in a hand to hand fight.
Rhagerys slowly sat up. He turned his upper body towards Aemond. He opened his mouth but closed it. He was trying to gather the right words to say. If there were right words to say. He knew that anything he decided to say had to be soft, gentle. “Aemond–” A scowl from Aemond made the rest of Rhagerys's words become stuck in his throat.
Aemond threw off the bedsheet. He needed to leave, immediately. He got up from the bed and started to gather up his clothing. His eye frantically searched for his eyepatch. Aemond could not even acknowledge Rhagerys as he went about the chambers searching for the elusive thing.
“Here.”
Aemond whipped his head around to see Rhagerys holding his eyepatch. He walked over to where Rhagerys sat. Aemond was upset that his cousin had such a soft look upon his face as he gazed up at him. He snatched the eyepatch out of Rhagerys's hand. He walked over to the settee to set his clothing down upon it. Aemond started to angrily try and place his eyepatch back upon his head.
Rhagerys could see that Aemond was having a little trouble with his eyepatch. He removed the bedsheet from atop him. He tentatively made his way over to Aemond. “Do you need help?” Rhagerys received another glare from Aemond which made him understand he chose the wrong words.
“I do not need help.” Aemond bit out. “I need to leave.”
“Why?” Rhagerys question was soft but he knew it was ridiculous the moment it left his lips.
Aemond ripped his hands away from his head. His lilac eye bore into Rhagerys's mismatched ones. “WHY?” His voice was a little louder than he would have cared for. He was trying to keep his composure but there were times that Rhagerys just made him beyond frustrated. “Are you seriously asking me such a question?”
Rhagerys gave a very light scoff as he averted his eyes. He needed Aemond to know that he truly did not care what he saw. His eyes reconnected with Aemond's very wide one. “Aemond, what I saw,” He raised his hand to stop his cousin when he could see Aemond was ready to give him another verbal lashing. “does not bother me.” Rhagerys gave, what he hoped was, a smile of understanding. “Honestly.”
Aemond clenched his jaw as he stared up into Rhagerys's eyes. He was frustrated that he could see Rhagerys spoke the truth. That his cousin so easily could see such a display of what was nothing but a weakness and not care in the least. He took a deep breath in. He cast his eye to the right. “It is shameful.” Aemond admitted above a whisper.
Rhagerys slightly furrowed his brow at such a confession. “It is not that shameful, Joffrey does it.” He said those words in the belief that they would be something Aemond would want to hear.
Aemond gave Rhagerys a very enraged, stern glare. His jaw shifted at such flippant words. “Compare me to a child again.” The words were low and not a very subtle challenge.
The corner of Rhagerys's lip did a quick quirk. Now was not the time to show that he enjoyed the venom that Aemond had spit at him. “I did not mean it like that.” He ran a hand through his hair as he thought on his next words. “What I meant is,” He gently moved his hands up to in a weak form of defense. “what I saw–”
Aemond huffed out in frustration. His eye widened even more. “If you ever say anything–”
Rhagerys was done with his cousin's threats. He needed to let Aemond know how he truly felt. He knew it would help Aemond feel some form of ease. Rhagerys moved into his cousin's personal space. Aemond took a step back from him. Which made Rhagerys give a soft tsk as he slightly shook his head. He raised his hands up to gently take a hold of his cousin's face. Aemond flinched away. Which made Rhagerys whisper “it is alright”. When he saw Aemond have a desperate resignation in his eye, Rhagerys once again gently raised his hands up to cup Aemond's cheeks within them. He tilted his cousin's head up so he could look at him. “What I wanted to say was, what I saw is safe with me. Your secret is now my secret.” He leaned down to press his forehead upon Aemond's. “And I protect my secrets viciously.”
There was a hitch in Aemond's breath. He knew Rhagerys's words rang true. Aemond remembered back to three and ten days ago when he secretly witnessed Daemon strike Rhagerys quite mercilessly upside the head, many times. The way Rhagerys carried himself later in the day, all smiles and sarcastic barbs aimed at Jace, it was as if he had not been soundly reprimanded for being so careless upon Starsong. Aemond also knew that since his cousin had yet to say anything about it, he would not be the one to bring it to the light. That was something Rhagerys himself needed to do. When he was ready. “I believe that you do.” He placed his hands upon Rhagerys's. “So, what you saw–” A kiss silenced Aemond's words.
Rhagerys broke the kiss as he softly smiled down to Aemond. “Is not shameful.” He finished Aemond's words with his own thoughts. “It is safe with me. Whenever you get the urge to do so, know that you can in my presence and I will never judge.” Rhagerys moved his hands in a way to get Aemond to remove his from atop his own. When Aemond did so, Rhagerys lifted his hand up to Aemond's eyepatch. He hesitated before moving forward with what he desired to do. Rhagerys wanted, needed permission. A nod from his cousin was the silent permission that he craved. He gently took the eyepatch off of Aemond. Rhagerys tossed it on top of the clothing on the settee. He looked down to his cousin with a softness in his eyes.
Aemond gave a slight smile. The thought of why they were standing beside the settee, naked, in the very early moments of the dawn's light still plagued his mind. It always would, no matter what words Rhagerys would say to ease his mind. But now another thought also started to take over Aemond's mind. Which was how much he desperately needed Rhagerys in that moment. “Rhage–”
A smile appeared upon Rhagerys's face. He easily manhandled Aemond to turn around to have his back pressed up against him. He gave a light hum as he felt Aemond push back against him. Rhagerys leaned down to whisper in Aemond's right ear. “What would you have me to do?”
Aemond tilted his head to the left. The way Rhagerys so easily turned him around, the grip he had upon him, he could not help but truly smile. The way he was being held so easily by his cousin that was what he was thinking about when he knew he could not fight Rhagerys without a weapon. His cousin had more weight and height compared to him. As well as the subtle muscle to back up anything he may choose to lay down to others. That thought made Aemond's cock twitch. Rhagerys could easily hurt him, break any bone. Instead he chose to be at the mercy of Aemond. Any word Aemond gave for him to follow, Rhagerys would do so without hesitation. “Hold me.” He took a sharp breath in when he felt Rhagerys's arms tighten around him. “Please me.”
Rhagerys's arms snaked around Aemond's torso. He kissed up and down Aemond's neck. “You want me to hold you, to please you?” He gave a light nip to the shell of Aemond's ear. A content sigh was the response he got. “And just how would I do that?” Rhagerys's right hand slowly moved down lower towards Aemond's cock. He ghosted his fingers over it, which got a light hum from his cousin. Rhagerys wrapped his hand around his cousin's cock and gave it a gentle squeeze. A moan and the feeling of Aemond pushing back into him once more was the response Rhagerys was looking for. “Is this how you want me to please you as I hold you?”
A whine escaped Aemond's lips that he could not stop. He lolled his head back against Rhagerys's upper chest. The way Rhagerys was starting to slowly stroke his cock was taking over his mind. The gentleness of his cousin's hand, a hand that Aemond knew could wield a weapon and destroy, as it moved up and down. When Rhagerys's thumb swiped over his tip, to use the seed that was leaking out as slick, made Aemond shudder.
A smile appeared upon Rhagerys's lips. Not one of confidence or a smirk of arrogance at being able to get Aemond to bend to him. It was a soft one. He wanted to please Aemond so badly in that moment. To make him come undone with just gentle touches and words. To let his cousin know that anything that he did or thought he needed to hide will never make him want to push him away. If anything, what Aemond chooses to reveal to Rhagerys will make him guard and protect him even more. “I want you to know that when I woke and saw your thumb in your mouth,” He felt Aemond stiffen. Rhagerys quietly cooed to calm him. “all I thought was how peaceful you looked. How lucky I was to be able to witness such a sight.” Rhagerys twisted his hand as he gave a languished stroke to Aemond's cock. “I was able to see that you felt so safe with me that I knew in that moment I would do whatever it took to please you. Whatever you asked of me. That I would make sure you would never feel shame.”
Aemond swallowed thickly at how Rhagerys let those words escape the sanctity of his mind. The way his cousin was able to lay bare his thoughts so easily. At least when it was just them. Something Aemond silently vowed to protect. He would make sure that Rhagerys never felt the need to shut his thoughts away while they were together. Aemond lifted his right arm up behind him so that he could wrap it around Rhagerys's neck. He searched for Rhagerys's left hand with his own so that he could lace his fingers with his cousin's. When he found Rhagerys's hand, Aemond laid his hand on top and slowly laced thir fingers together. He pressed back in Rhagerys and ground against his cousins' cock. He could not help the smile that graced his lips when he heard a low, throaty groan. “Promise?” Aemond's voice was supposed to have a challenge to it but he could not help the hint of a tremor that escaped his lips.
Rhagerys gave a kiss to Aemond's temple. “Most ardently. Now, dear cousin,” His stroking movements started to become quicker. He leaned his head onto Aemond's as he whispered quietly. “reach your end. Come undone for me.”
Aemond's breathing became quicker as he bucked into Rhagerys's hand. He could feel his end was near. A vague thought rose then died within his mind at how he should be frustrated at how quickly he was going to release. Yet, the touch and closeness of Rhagerys let Aemond know that was nothing to think on. “So close.” He breathlessly said.
Rhagerys racked his mind on what word or words could get Aemond to topple over the edge. He landed on ones that he knew Aemond needed to hear in the moment. He rested his chin upon Aemond's shoulder. “The blood of the dragon runs thick within in you. I am in awe every time I see you in this state. I can feel the fire burn hot whenever I am near you. I need you. I need my dragon.”
Aemond jerked his head back as he released his seed. Some of it landed upon Rhagerys's hand as he kept stroking his cock to it's end. When he felt himself fully spent, Aemond crumpled into Rhagerys's arms. He was breathing heavily as he tried to gain control once more.
Rhagerys instinctively lifted up his right hand and licked of the seed that was upon it. “You taste delicious, my dragon.”
A heady shudder escaped Aemond's lips. He may have not been able to see Rhagerys consume his seed but he had before and each time it only made Aemond want him more. It was the primal urge within him. To witness the way Rhagerys did not hesitate to do such a vulgar thing.
“Shall we go back to bed? It is still quite early.”
Aemond moved his hands to cling onto Rhagerys's arms. “I would like that.”
Rhagerys gave a quick kiss to Aemond's temple. “And if you feel that you want to...” He let his words trail off. He knew he did not need to voice what he was alluding to. Rhagerys felt a nod from Aemond.
“If I choose to do so, I know my secret is safe.” Aemond broke away from Rhagerys. He turned to face Rhagerys and reached his hand out. “Come. Prove your words to me.”
Rhagerys smiled as he placed his hand into Aemond's. He easily let his cousin lead him to the bed.
