Hello darling! Do you have any headcanons for hypothetical modern au highschool lucemond? I've just read two mini drabbles on tw and now I need more content xd
Thank you for the question! ❤️ Sorry for taking a bit longer. I hope you don't mind me dropping another drabble instead of headcanons.
Secret Love (High school AU, 1.6k, T)
Excerpt:
"Piercings are hot." Luke mumbles as Aemond looks up and their gazes meet. A small smile tugs at the corners of Aemond's lips, but he turns away. His black boots sound heavy on the floor as he starts making his way down the aisle. He's in a studded jacket and there's perfectly done eyeliner around his eyes, highlighting the sapphire blue prosthesis. Sunlight glitters on the row of silver rings in his ear.
I'm absolutely in love with the high school au! I'd love to hear more headcanons about it, if you feel inspired! <3
I'm so sorry this took so long! I wanted to post a little drabble. I hope I'll be able to write the story of how they got together one day. ❤️

Blossom
With his head propped up on Aemond's pillow, Luke listens to the lazy swish of the wind as it dances around the fresh spring leaves outside. The tree that casts playful shadows on Aemond's window shed the last of its blossoms only a few days ago. The petals are a pink carpet on the ground now, light over the bright green grass. Aemond kissed him against that tree while the last of the flowers fell, with his hands on Luke’s neck and his thumbs brushing Luke's cheeks.
"Will you come over on Friday?" He asked quietly. They were so close that Luke’s eyes could barely focus on his face.
"Of course." Luke beamed, and a warm tingle ran through him when he saw the smile Aemond tried to hide by nuzzling his cheek. He dreamt of cherry blossoms that night.
The rest of the week dragged on forever. The only thing that got him through it was the heat he felt whenever Aemond looked at him. The glances across the cafeteria, the brush of fingertips as they passed each other in the hallway. He sighs just thinking about them. The weekend couldn't come soon enough. Thankfully, Luke’s parents bought his bullshit excuse about going to the mall with his friends, although his mum asked him if there was a special someone he was going to meet there. It was so embarrassing! Luke is pretty sure he cringed when he denied it, and he might have seen his dad's lips twitch behind his cup of tea.
Ugh. No, he can't even think about it. What if his dad knows?
He shakes the thought away and focuses on the present. It's quiet, save for the sounds of a peaceful suburban afternoon that drift in from the street. He’s on his back in Aemond's bed, enveloped comfortably by Aemond's arms. Aemond's head rests on his chest. Blond hair parts under his fingers like silk as he combs it. They have the house to themselves for a few more minutes before Helaena comes home. Luke had plans - big plans for today, but he chickened out and couldn't find the right moment to bring them up yet. He wasted hours. He can't go home without at least mentioning what he wants!
"Aemond?" He whispers.
He runs his fingers over the tender skin behind Aemond’s pierced ear, down his neck to his collarbone. He traces the silver chain resting there, wondering what it would feel like to kiss the dragon on it, where it lies under Aemond’s shirt on his chest. Aemond’s skin is always so warm and smooth to the touch, and it flushes when Luke's kisses stray to it. Would his chest bloom with the same sweet colour where his heart beats?
"Hm?" Aemond hums. He reaches up with a hand to cup Luke’s cheek for a moment before resting it in the juncture of Luke’s neck. He doesn't sound fully awake. He seems content to just lie here, petting his boyfriend and dozing on his chest. Luke’s stomach hitches.
"Sooo..." He swallows. "I thought about - about us." He touches the back of Aemond's hand before he could misunderstand. His heart races so loudly that he barely hears his thoughts. "I know it's not a big deal, but um. You know how I haven’t really done anything, right? With anyone. But I've been thinking recently, and I think now I'm ready to... if you want to... uh, do something more."
He doesn’t manage to finish the sentence properly, but there's a question in there that he hopes Aemond hears. God, why is it so awkward to say this stuff! He tried mumbling it under the shower, I want to have sex with you, but it sounded deranged out of his mouth. He’ll never be as sexy and suave as Aemond is when it comes to these things. With bated breath, he waits. After a few seconds, Aemond's weight shifts as he props himself up on an elbow and blinks at Luke. Without his usual eyeliner, his gaze seems softer.
"Are you talking about sex?" He asks bluntly, his expression impassive.
Luke blushes so hard that it feels like his face melts. He smiles and averts his eyes, fiddling with the sleeve of Aemond's shirt before he looks up again. He nods, although it feels like he's dying from embarrassment. "Mm-hmm."
Aemond's lips part, but no sound comes out at first. Then, he starts to smile. "You want to have sex with me?" He asks, too loud.
Luke covers his face with his hands, hiding his burning cheeks behind them. "Don't say it like that." He mumbles through a smile.
"Like what?"
"Like - you're surprised or something!"
He drops his hands, giving Aemond an indignant shove until Aemond rolls off him. They're both on their sides now, their heads inches apart on that tiny pillow. Luke pushes at Aemond's chest again, unable to contain himself. Now that his confession is out, he’s so excited that he wants to jump up and down. Aemond, on the other hand, looks star-struck. The wonder on his face makes Luke roll his eyes.
"Did you think I'd make you wait forever?" Luke huffs, then continues in a more serious tone. "Thank you, by the way. For not rushing me, I mean."
Something about that makes Aemond flustered, because he picks at the black paint on his nails. He avoids Luke’s eyes. "It wasn’t as hard as you think it was."
A beat of silence lingers while Luke tries to figure out what he implies and whether it's a comment about him or not, but instead of anything constructive, the only things he finds in his head are dirty, dirty thoughts. Riding a rush of bravado, he smirks, shimmying closer to Aemond and touching his stomach through his shirt. "Are you sure it wasn’t hard?"
Aemond's lips part. He stares at Luke as though Luke’s words have just rearranged his universe and offered its treasures to him.
A second later, he rolls forward, his kiss a wild burst of emotion on Luke's mouth as it pushes and demands and plunders. His left hand roams over Luke's body as they make out in a noisy tangle of limbs. It finds Luke's ass and gives it a squeeze, then a massaging stroke when Luke moans. Sighs and hums bounce between them as they try to pull each other as close as possible, as if they were trying to crawl into each other's skin and feed on their desire.
Nervous but lightheaded from want, Luke slides his hand further down and cups Aemond's cock through his trousers.
"Oh." They gasp at the same time. Aemond’s breath stutters in his chest.
"Liar." Luke snickers giddily, using his fingers to map out the shape better. This isn't the first time that he felt it, but he never dared acknowledge it so directly, with such shameless interest. Is it too much? He hopes it isn't. "This doesn’t seem soft to me."
Aemond's lips twitch into a smile. "It's your fault."
"Mine?" Luke grins wider, his touch gaining confidence.
"Yes." Aemond groans and rolls him on his back, kissing him silly again. When Luke hugs him, he pulls back to pepper kisses all over Luke's face until Luke giggles. "Make it up to me."
I will, Luke wants to say, but the sound of a keychain clinking, then the whoosh of the front door break the moment. Someone stumbles over the shoes downstairs.
"Baby bro-ther!" Aegon singsongs, creeping up the stairs. "You left your girlfriend's shoes in the hallway! Rookie mistake! Time to introduce your favourite sibling to her!"
Aemond drops his forehead to Luke’s chest and groans. Luke flicks one of the silver rings in the tip of Aemond's ear.
I read your High school AU and now my brain is rotting. Any chance to get an actual story out of it? You described the sneaking around in secret so well...🥺
Hi! 😊 Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the high school AU!
I have another ask about it and I'm working on another drabble in reply to that. I do want to make it an actual story at one point, from lucemond getting together to the end of this trip to Winterfell, with a side of Jace x Cregan. 💕
I have two WIPs right now, so I can’t start it yet. I also said I would write a canon mpreg AU at one point, so lots to do, but I would love to talk more about this high school AU too.
Jeongguk has been in love with his best friend for as long as he can remember, spending years pining silently from her side. The thing is, Sora has never shown interest in anyone. Except lately, something has changed. It almost seems that she, too, might be a little bit in love. Just not with him.
With Park Jimin.
comment: my comment from back when i read it: WAHHHH I LOVED THIS!! had me so hooked beginning to end, giving me all those tiny delicious angst pangs. could have easily sat here and read 80k of this in one sitting. oh it was so delicious. I love nd jungkookie that needs a while to let people in, love jimin going through some sort of hell quietly and falling even more quietly, sora was so sweet and perfectly done, not villainised or dismissed as it tends to happen sometimes in stories like this. how great. how amazing.
“I’m not deflecting,” Jimin says, lying out of his ass. He keeps his eyes down, doesn’t want to make it anymore obvious that his heart is going a hundred miles per second. “I just don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Taehyung’s lips tighten and he looks away, eyes back on the field.
“Interesting,” Taehyung says, as Jimin reluctantly follows his line of sight. “He’s still looking at you.”
Twenty feet away, dressed in his football uniform, Jeon Jeongguk looks away.
Or, Jimin and Jeongguk had a summer fling that extended into their senior year, Jeongguk is trying to make a move into official territory, and Jimin’s just oblivious.
Jungkook tries to deal with living 325 kilometers away from his best friend, and finds that he simply can't.
Comment: this is peak pining jungkook. he's heartbroken before there even is anything to be heartbroken about, and it's so rough seeing him be proven right for a while before they figure things out. jimin dates hobi for a while and i love the way that's treated, with no animosity or hard feelings, just a youthful relationship that runs its course.
