A heavy silence clung to the apartment, broken only by the muffled sound of crying behind the bathroom door. Aegon pushed it open and found you there, clutching yet another negative test. Wordlessly, he took it from your hand and set it aside, then pulled you into a fierce, full-body embrace, his own chest tight with shared despair. The ghost of his parents' disastrous, loveless marriage haunts him, a fear so potent it has made him hesitate to give you his name, even as your loyalty through his own darkest spirals has kept you fastened to his side. He pressed his lips to your temple, his hand moving in slow, soothing circles on your back, terrified for your heart but resolved, somehow, to build the family you both ache for.
