I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO SHARE IDEAS FOR PEOPLE TO STEAL!! All my ideas are stealable! My AU's are free property cause I like plotting but have no love for writing dialogue!

--Unconventional Roommates--

After escaping another intervention through the window of his apartment bathroom Daeron decides he is going to have one last Hurrah before his family sends him off to another rehab that ultimately fails. He doesn't know how long the bender last, nor the amount of bars, clubs, and alleyways he ended up in while avoiding his family, all he knows is that he went into a club Thursday night and now is on someone's couch with a group calendar on a wall that has deemed it Monday. He barely has time to sit up before a red headed woman is calling out "Duncan<3! Your stray is up!" and it takes him a full 30 seconds to realize he is being called a stray but he barely has time to process as the biggest man he has ever seen walks into view and looks at him with pure concern and kindness.

Apparently, Dunk found him passed out in an alleyway in the middle of the night shaking and took him home, which according to Dunk's 3 female roommates, is not an odd behavior from the man. Though, this is the first time it's a human, not that Daeron feels it as Rowan is giving Dunk the whole "Well, you can keep him if you promise to feed him, bathe him, and clean up after him" like Daeron was an actual stray. BUT Daeron doesn't want to go back home to his apartment where his family is most definitely waiting, or any of his families hospital clean modern brutalist apartments with white lighting that only gives him migraines, so if being treated like a stray cat allows him to stay on this well loved couch covered in blankets in a warm lighting apartment for another night before facing the music, he'll be treated like a cat.

It isn't until Day 9 of Daeron's stay, after Dunks insistence when the first two days he was sick from alcohol poisoning and now suffering from withdrawals, that he realizes they don't intend to kick him out. In fact, they are all rather genuine in their efforts of nursing him back to health like one would a stray. Apparently Daisy and Beony both have a history of problems from a previous life, Rowan and Dunk have lost many people to addiction, and Raymun who has come around occasionally just likes helping people. They didn't even know who he is, not until Raymun pointed it out that they have a prince on their couch a week in. They just saw a man down on his luck and are rehabbing him like a stray, and it is working better than any top of the line "rehab" facilities his family sent him too. They aren't making him quit cold turkey or holding his hand. They let him have some cider with meals or a social wine with the girls but they never let him only drink or be alone while drinking. He feels well cared for and not just taken care of. A stray meant to be a pet and not a vermin.

At the very least he completely forgets he is technically a runaway prince until 4 months in when Dunk answers a knock to their front door shirtless, having just showered and expecting it to be Raymun, when he comes face to face with Baelor and Maekar. Tits out.

(Reference, Dunk is 32ish, Daeron is 24ish, Dunk is still the bottom)

Daeron is no stranger to various drug and alcohol mishaps throughout the years. Dealing with things from his friends to himself and one time even Aerion who found a thing of coke and tried it without knowing it's origin. If there is a way to possibly overdose without the use of needles (as Daeron finds needles icky) Daeron has either used it or seen others use it. It isn't until one festival that Daeron has his first ever overdose, and a following meeting with who he believes to be an angel.

Dunk is a volunteer medic for festivals and a paramedic who often works the night shift, having gotten into the occupation as a desire to help people, but it does mean he is also very familiar with people on drugs. Everything from simple edibles to hard drugs that leave one broken by the end. So he is an expert at giving people Narcan and getting them where they need to be to be healthy and all the weird experiences that come with it... Though he never expected to administering first aid to a loopy party boy only to have him stroke his face and call him and angel. That is certainly a new one.

Daeron is sent to rehab, of course, but finds himself unable to tear his mind away from the kind blue eyes and gentle hands of the man who saved him. Daeron has never been well, and in a situation where he is the most isolated he's ever been, forced off all drugs (including some of his mental health meds), and practically abandoned by his family who have more or less given up on him, he finds himself not getting better... traditionally. When rehab is over he finds himself straying away from booze and drugs much to his families joy, but he isn't cured like they believe, His mind just traded one addiction for another, a desire for that blue eyed man who held him like he was made of glass. His knight in shinning armor.

Dunk has dealt with addicts or patients coming back to thank him but he has never had one show up while he was shopping for a new jacket and try and buy him the entire store. He refuses but that only seems to make the kid, Daeron, more upset. Dunk is too moral to accept a gift from a person he saved and Daeron is too obsessed with the nice man to let him go. Everyone else around them views it endearing, Maekar even encourages it hoping Dunk would rub off on Daeron or scare him straight... not understanding the certain rubbing Daeron wants to get.

Yeaaaaah, this is a yandere Daeron x Dunk situation!
