Work Text:
It was finally December, the month that young Luke liked the most, his favorite holidays were Christmas and New Years, it meant a new beginning for him, even though his boyfriend was a self-styled Grinch, nothing would stop him from enjoying his Christmas.
Yes, his boyfriend was Aemond Targaryen, and he was also his uncle, but that in his family was as common as breathing, it would be the first Christmas they would spend alone, since he was living in a new apartment courtesy of his grandfather Corlys, Luke still hadn't he understood how it was his favorite if he got seasick every time he got on a boat, but he was grateful for the large penthouse that he gave him in one of the most luxurious areas of the city, where he currently lived with his boyfriend, a boyfriend who hated the Christmas and everything related to December holidays.
At that time he was in the terrace with a glass roof, it was basically a glass cube where you could see the outside, there was even a heated pool, but he was not crazy enough to go in it, at that time he preferred the jacuzzi inside from the attic.
He was dressed in silk pajamas, which fitted his body very well, and following the traditions of his family, were green satin, while the sleeping Aemond wore identical pajamas, except that his was black. It was a joke between them, but no one had to find out.
It was the first day of December, which meant that he should start decorating, or rather, buying decorations, maybe it was still early, but he really had a great Christmas spirit, Aemond...no so much.
And speaking of him, with his hair already very neat and in a braid, he went down the stairs that led to the bedroom, he sighed just looking at him through the reflection of the window, he still did not believe that such a handsome man was his boyfriend, and that they lived their teenage romance, well, Luke, because he was only 20, while his uncle was 24. He was still a student, who just became a university student and Aemond was in the process of doing a master's degree, although it was not necessary to try or that's what Luke thought, after all, he would inherit a huge fortune from his grandfather, and his mother is the queen of the continent, and he was the second in the line of succession, money would never be lacking.
He was pulled from his thoughts when Aemond came around him from behind and began to kiss his neck.
"Do you want to go out for breakfast or do you prefer to order food, precious"
"Good morning uncle, and today I want to go out and take advantage of the fact that there aren't so many people in the malls yet, I want to buy some Christmas things" he responded excitedly imagining all the colorful lights and decorations.
"So I prefer delivery"
"Aemond, please" Luke requested.
"I don't understand why we have to fill the place with garbage and irritating lights, do you want to torture me?"
"You know that Christmas is special to me"
"Yes, but for me it's the opposite, I never had a happy Christmas"
"Now you are with me, we must change that"
"No" the older one was very stubborn and he wouldn't change his mind… anytime soon.
"But let's go for that food, it does us good to walk, luckily we are not in the frozen wasteland that the Starks call home, otherwise I could not bear to go out"
"How dramatic you are"
They both laughed and kissed, how beautiful youthful love was, at times they had childish discussions and the second they kissed passionately.
The luxury restaurants that they frequented always treated them with respect, after all they were princes, but they always recognized Aemond more because of his Targaryen hair, Luke was even sometimes ignored, and that was great for him, he didn't want to rule, He just wanted to live out their eternal romance, or pass all of his college classes.
Once they were installed at his usual table in an Italian restaurant and the food was being prepared, Luke wanted to insist again.
"One activity between boyfriends is to decorate the tree together, and even afterward we can use that nice rug by the fake fireplace," Luke said flirtatiously, but Aemond didn't take his eyes off his phone.
"You are listening?"
"Yes, but I know what you do and it won't work, so don't try, I won't go picking out silly decorations that will end up in the trash
"Well, I'll go with one of my cousins or with Addam"
At the mention of Luke's bastard uncle, Aemond looked up and there seemed to be fire coming out of his eyes.
"You won't do that, I'll go"
"Oh, but I don't want to bother you"
"It's not a bother, you'll go with me and that's it"
Luke smiled his plan worked, lucky that Aemond was so jealous and possessive
"But shouldn't you be at the university? It's Thursday" the older man suddenly asked, although he didn't really care.
Oh right, he knew he was forgetting something.
"I wonder how you miss so much and still have a good GPA?" Both boys were walking back with their hands joined, the weather was cold and there was a bit of wind, fortunately there was no rain, they didn't want to catch a cold.
"They fear Papa Daemon" he answered very calmly.
"Oh, right, since the show he did with the teacher who bullied Jace no one else dared to badmouth him or put grades higher on anyone with the last name Velaryon or Targaryen."
"Yes, he is sometimes a little intense"
"That's why your mother and he are perfect, they are somewhat loose"
"I won't deny it" and they laughed.
The days darkened early, so it was barely 7:00 p.m. and it was already dark, it looked like it was going to snow, and Luke wanted to see that, he even watched the news.
Aemond was in the study, doing things of his mastery that he didn't understand, so he decided to prepare some chocolate with marshmallows, those ingredients were not lacking in the attic and it was the only thing he really knew how to prepare without causing a fire.
They could see the snow fall on the glass dome, that's what it was for, so he dragged a rug Helaena sent from the north along with some huge soft beanbags, it set the perfect mood, with the lighting low and the fake fireplace going, it sounded like a good plan
Aemond wasn't really surprised when he received a text asking Luke to come out, well, he had already moved on, so he could have a break.
"The night is cold, you should cover yourself up" Aemond told Luke that he was on his back lying on a beanbag, but he was already in comfortable, light colored clothes, he looked so innocent that way.
"The same, but why don't you join us and watch the snow fall, according to the weather news it would start snowing today" Luke answered excitedly
"How poetic that just on the first day of December it starts to snow"
"Do you want chocolate? I put the marshmallows that you like" And yes, Aemond did like sweet things even though he denied it.
"Thanks love"
And they both sat on a particularly large bean bag, with a warm blanket surrounding them.
"On the other continent there is a belief that if you see the first snowfall of the season with your boyfriend, they will be together forever," Aemond commented.
"That would have already happened no matter what, I didn't suffer so much for you to make you run away from me Uncle"
And the chocolate cups were on another plane when they put that rug to good use as the snow began to slowly fall, flake by flake.
