Modern GOT : L'Enfant Terrible
// My favourite antagonist already. but on his good side for now :p
How could he do? Torn between Light and Darkness, Viserys didn't quite know how to feel. How to be. He was a man who spent 35 years walking on thin ice, looking for danger, testing his limits. He was empty, and this hunger he felt had him live life to the fullest, always taking risks, always pushing his luck with Death. He was cruel, there was no way to pretend he wasn't. He relished in making other shake and tremble. He relished in seeing them in pain. He relished in causing distress and anguish. He loved a good fight and didn't care about hurting himself in the process. He loved the fast life, the fancy life, the women he'd fuck without thinking twice about them. That was who he was, fundamentally unstable and insane. Fundamentally sadistic and hedonist in one whole package.
Yet, he was capable of tenderness. He was tender with their mother. He listened to his older brother. He sorted his life out, learned to be good -and he was capable of mercy, of pity, of genuine kindness if he wanted to be- There was light in his darkness, faint but present and perhaps she was able to bring the best out of him. He couldn't quite understand how and why he was drawn to her -his red beacon, his Lionness, his Princess-. He couldn't quite understand why he didn't want to treat her like the others, using and abusing her mind, body, and soul until he was bored with her and moved on. That was confusing. Throughout a couple of days spent without her, the silver fox very often came back to thinking of her. Her red lips, this mischievous smile of hers, those bright and wide green eyes of the Lannister obsessed him. Her unmarred sunkissed skin would contrast with his porcelain one, haunted his dreams, the soft sound of her voice, the defiant fire in her eyes. oh yes, that defiant fire in her eyes. He was interested. He had her under his skin already and she made him behave tenderly, caringly, which disturbed him.
He was the Dragon King's son. L'Enfant terrible of the Targaryen's family, a force of destruction and he knew that the weekend of debauchery he had planned -although tried to manage the best he could so she wouldn't be hurt- might absolutely take a wrong turn, setting their relationship on a path he wasn't used to Chaos. She deserved more than the usual shenanigans, but he wouldn't renounce his old habits, he wouldn't stop being cruel for her sake, he wouldn't stop being demanding, terrifying, superb, and hungry... Not even for her sake and perhaps that was what bothered him the most, the fact he wanted to be on his best behavior for her. The fact he thought his way of life had to be toned down. Nonsense! He was VISERYS fucking TARGARYEN... how could she even dare slip into his mind the way she did? How could she want him to « behave » without even asking for it? Why would he bother? Because it was her? Because it was her...Kyra fucking Lannister.
