So i imagined this. Eddie and his gf have a pretty set routine for each advent sunday. Morning hot chocolate or coffee. Then daily stuff maybe cleaning the house later and during yhe evening baking gimgerbread cookies from homemade dough! And aemes baby he is like okay this cool but they can see he wants to add. So then he just admits very wuietly that his fam always have fam dinners. Like a big dinnee and althkugh theh are horrible sotting down eating as a fam is importsnt to him. And then eddie and her are like why sid you not say before! We will make time so before the gingerbread cookies they devide who cleans and who cooks the big meal and have a dinner together. Big brained anon

🥺🥺🥺🥺 ljlkdjfgjkkldjg big brained anon, I am ruined. I can't stop thinking about these dudes and this trio.

Ok so for this I imagine they're all out of high school and living together already.

Sundays are fun days during the holidays, since the very first weekend when Eddie gets up super early to make them all hot chocolate. And because he likes to indulge, even adds whipped cream and sprinkles and cinnamon on top - "Because it's breakfast and we need more nutrients."

Aemond's excited, later in the evening and the house has been cleaned, when he catches that spicy whiff of gingerbread coming from the kitchen, and basks in the warmth that now surrounds the apartment from your baking.

You're all cuddled up on the couch watching a holiday movie (Gremlins, obviously) waiting for the timer to ring. And Aemond is thinking that maybe you'll cook something special, but after everything you'd already done during the day, Eddie just wants to order a pizza to eat while being lazy on the couch.

Which is also fine; he adores being with you doing absolutely anything. But he's also lowkey longing for some of his old family rituals.

Especially he's longing for those rituals to actually go right. To feel like they should feel.

Family dinners at his house during the holidays are always tense and awkward, with his brother getting drunk too soon and ditching them halfway through the dinner; his sister minding her own business and doodling on the table while his mom and grandfather are discussing business affairs he wishes were left for some other time.

So he basks in the rythm of this new family unit he's found for himself, but is too nervous to ask for what he's yearning for.

Eddie's the first who notices that there's something on Aemond's mind - always so receptive of everyone else's feelings.

This weekend, he brings Aemond's hot chocolate right to bed, sneaking in beside his spot under the covers and asking, "Got anything on your mind you wanna let out, big boy?"

Aemes blushes slightly, smirking at the smiley face Eddie put on his hot chocolate with the sprinkles, and mutters, "I was thinking. I know (y/n) and you are reluctant to cooking big meals, but...I was just thinking...it would be nice if we had a special dinner for the three of us? an actual, home-cooked meal?"

He then tells Eddie all about what he does for his family, and how he wishes to do it with his new little family because for once, he feels right at home. Like he belongs. And he just wants to show his appreciation somehow.

"Babe, of course!! why didn't you say so before? Wanna go to the market, then? You and I could go while (y/n) is still asleep." Eddie snickers, knowing you'll throw a fit when you wake up and realize they'll have left the cleaning to you while they went out on their little adventure together.

Obviously they make up for it by buying you a treat.

Aemond splurges on the finest of ingredients, knowing by heart what he needs for a nice, hearty and indulgent meal, as well as something that will pair up nicely with your gingerbread cookies.

When they arrive, you've got your hands at your waist, frowning over having been left alone but they calm you immediately by kissing you, handing you a bag of the candy of your preference, and by Aemond taking off your apron and putting it on himself and being like, "I'll take over the kitchen now, darling."

Eddie and Aemond get to work. You want to help them but Eddie's like, "you can help by putting on some tunes and looking hot, babe."

Which, you do, but still you get in on the fun, chopping vegetables and setting up the table.

You have an amazing dinner, followed by playing boardgames and a movie; there's laughter over glasses of wine, mixing in with the lingering warmth from the oven.

And Aemond for once, is truly, truly happy during a family dinner.

Since that moment, a new tradition was born <3
