#but I'm still nervous because it's been a while since I've written academically

[girlitfeelsgood]

I'm so nervous about writing an essay for the first time in two years. What if I do horribly 💀

[daenysx]

i don't even know if this is good, i've written it so quickly all thanks to a little mental crisis about my academic stuff. basically, you tell aemond you love him for the first time and he goes insane. enjoy!!

send me your requests for drabbles

aemond loves taking care of you.

he loves making you coffee the way you like, carrying your books when you have too many of them with you, helping with every simple chore in your apartment even when you say he doesn't have to do them. he likes the feeling when you look at him with big, grateful eyes, and smile like he's someone precious.

"calm down, you have nothing to worry about."

well, it's easier said than done. exams are often nervous occasions for you, academic validation has always been important, you just crave the best.

"i know, it's just- it's really important, aemond."

he nods. "it's important but you studied hard for this. i know you'll do perfect."

you smile, his words make your early morning better. he makes breakfast for you and insists on you to eat. he subtly tries to calm your nerves down, never says anything directly but still manages to make you feel more confident with yourself.

he puts your favorite coffee mug next to your plate on the table, the lovely smell of coffee reaches your nose and you smile with satisfaction.

you wrap your fingers around the mug and take a sip. "it's perfect, i love you."

aemond looks frozen for a moment as if he tries to process what you just said. you've never confessed your love for him verbally even though the words feel too natural coming out of your lips. he doesn't expect it, he knows it's a hard thing to say at the beginning stage of a new relationship.

he feels the words make a place in his heart, too warm and too perfect. he can't stop himself, he smiles and leans in to give you a kiss on your forehead. he watches you as you eat in silence and drink your coffee, you aren't even aware of the effect of what you just said. he doesn't know if you expect him to say the words back, you don't seem like you focus on him right now anyway, too busy to read your notes.

"i can take you to school if you want, sweetheart." he says, tries to keep it cool like it's possible.

you look at him. "it would be perfect but you should go to office, i don't want you to be late because of me."

he shakes his head. "it's fine, daeron will be there today. he can take care of things for a while."

you smile. his heart flutters. "okay then. thank you."

he smiles back. "come on, you finish your coffee, i'll get dressed."

you nod happily, keep eating and taking sips from your mug. he leaves the kitchen with silent steps. he goes to the bathroom first, desperately in need of some cold water.

you love him? you love him. he loves you, he knew it all the time. he gives himself a little time to feel the emotions deeply, his cheeks blush and he smiles. it's weird, he thinks. he is looking at the mirror and the man there is smiling. it has been a long time since he'd smiled like this.

you have made him smile all the time. being with you, holding you, kissing you, everything with you are special to him; all the sweet actions that makes him happy with himself.

hearing those three words from you? it's just something else.

feeling cold water on his face definitely helps, he leaves the bathroom to dress quickly. he sees you waiting for him by the door as he tries to fix his tie.

you come closer. "here, let me."

you fix his tie with skilled fingers, press a quick kiss on his lips when you're done.

"i'm ready, we can leave." you say, showing him your book bag and notes.

he nods, takes the bag from you. he holds your hand during the short walk to his car and opens the door for you when you reach the car.

the morning traffic is somehow bearable with you playing your favorite songs in the car, reading your notes to aemond as he quizzes you, and making a little fun of other people's driving.

the car stops and your boyfriend turns to your side. you take a deep breath, still trying to calm yourself for the exam.

"it will be perfect. you know everything you need, you had enough practice. all you have to do now is staying calm, baby."

you nod. "thank you, aemond, for everything. you're so good to me."

"my girl deserves the best of everything, hmm? i love you."

and there it is. he says it with the softest voice as if he's afraid the words will break. you smile, kiss him goodbye. "i love you, too."

he kisses you again, longer this time. "go, ace the test."

you leave the car and he watches you until you disappear from his sight. the ride to his office has never been better, he just keeps smiling without having a clue of how to stop.

daeron wonders what makes him smile all day. he doesn't say anything, just keeps the little curve on his lips, thinking of your sweet voice when you say you love him. he's sure he has a new addiction of hearing you say that.
