*ੈ✩‧₊˚
IT HAD BEEN NEARLY 4 YEARS SINCE YOU'D LAST SEEN LUKE. and now, at one and eight, your thoughts were constantly plagued with the idea of how he would look since it had been announced by the queen consort alicent, that the princess rhaenyra and her family would be returning to king's landing for aegon's twenty and fourth name day.
you remembered classes with the boy when you were both ten and four, you being brought to the palace due to your family being the closest ally's to the tagrayen family, they thought it fit you could achieve the best education. the way he had looked at you all those moons ago played like a record on repeat as you tried to listen to whatever your septa was saying. his questioning of who you were had what had first intrigued you to each other and the pair of you became as thick as thieves, never straying far. with one always came another, until the day an argument broke out between alicent and princess rhaenyra causing the latter to move her family to dragonstone.
most, including yourself, were unaware of what brought the family back to kings landing but you thanked the god that the spat between the two women was finally resolved, allowing you to see your lucerys again.
your lessons finished for the day as the sun began to set across the sea,painting the sky with all sorts of oranges, pinks and purples you couldn't help but think if lucerys looked toward the setting sun and thought of you just as you did with him, like you had both promised long ago before he had left. knowing that the sun setting was the only thing that you had left of each other, connecting you as you both viewed the colours at the same time. you made a promise, to look at the sunset each night and think of one another. and so you did, despite the boy being just outside, you still stopped at stared at the wondrous sky —thinking of lucerys.
as you rushed to your chambers before aegon's name day celebrations began. making yourself presentable, a bath was drawn and you scrubbed yourself clean with the vanilla scents you had. your hair hung loose, cascading downt to your shoulders as you hadn't time to do anything to it, you clambered into a gown of dark green before rushing down the hall to the feast.
as you ran, you muttered all sorts of prayers under your breathe hoping that you weren't too late for the dinner. it was unbeknownst why you of all people had been requested to attend the eldest prince's name's day dinner (you had barely spoke with him since you were ten and six) but here you were, opening the doors to the hall smiling sheepishly at queen alicent as you muttered a small apology for your tardiness.
the prayers you spoke off mere minutes ago seemed to be answered as it appeared you weren't the only one late — princess rhaenyra's family seemed to be too. at the thought of seeing them (more specifically a certain brunette velaryon) you became nervous, your leg moving up and down in a rhythmic pattern as you thought of everything that could possibly go wrong.
what if he doesn't recognise me? what if he turns out to hate me? what if-
the thoughts went as soon as they came as the door creaked open, revealing the mixed family of brunette and blonde which seemed to capture the room in a trance of thick tension. words weren't spoken as rhaenyra took the seat at the end of the table, opposite her father, with daemon to her right, and joffrey who appeared almost grown to her left. it appeared the two youngest children weren't here which probably was for the best, gods know what was going to take place. daemon was smirking slightly at what you could only imagine was about what was to occur at the feast, having similar thoughts to your own — this family always had to have something kick off.
the eldest son, jacaerys looked as handsome as ever, as he took the seat diagonal to you sneding a soft smile to the girl that encaptured his brother's heart. at least one velaryon remebered you.
that left one more — him.
your gaze turned down to your plate as your stomach was captured in tight coils of nerves at the scraping of the chair opposite you. flickering your eyes up to glance at the boy, you notice his pale blue eyes were on you. his looks had you encaptured, it was like you had been blessed as an angel sat before you in a black cloak. his brunette hair had darkened slightly as he aged, and his jaw as well as his cheekbones had sharpened slightly — he was so pretty.
as the two of you caught eyes, luke sent a grin your way before his eyes flickered towards whoever was speaking. yet, you couldnt look away, to encaptured with the boy that sat in front of you, eyes drawn to the way he spoke, his voice sounding like honey in your ears as he had laughed at something his grandsire had said, the tension finally being broken.
you were still unaware of why you were brought to this dinner, but by whatever gods had let this happen, you were grateful as lucery's eyes kept looking over towards you, a smile adorning his cheeks as he too thought he was blessed with the beauty that sat before him.
in this moment, he was glad he requested for you to attend the feast as it allowed lucerys' to gaze upon the woman he loves.
she's so pretty.
