Father? We can’t stay here. The Northmen will come. And where should we go? Back to the swamps, of course. We’ll be safe there.

LMAO. I love Aethelwulf.

Prince Aethelred

A/N okay, I wasn’t quite sure how to go about this as we haven’t seen *too* much personality yet, but I don’t care, I needed to give my boy some love because someone (*cough* Judith *cough*) doesn’t. Also, this sort of contains some season five spoilers. Not really tho lol.

Pairing: Aethelred x reader

Summary: reader is Aethelred’s nurse when he gets hit by an arrow

Warnings: mention of blood, wounds, arrows, stuff like dat 

You looked up at the sound of screaming for help, your hands dropping the cup you held as you quickly stood. Your eyes widened at the sight of Prince Aethelred being carried through the rain by two men, one being Prince Aethelwulf, his long legs dragging behind him with an arrow in his shoulder. Forgetting about the short break you’d been given, you threw everything off the table you were sat at before beginning to prepare the supplies; shouting for them to bring him to you. They did as told, Aethelwulf shouting,“Help him!”

Aethelred moaned as they laid him down on his side on the table you’d cleared off, and you instructed the men to carefully cut his shirt and armor off. Aethelwulf watched with his hands in his hair, panic all over his face. You looked at the half awake prince in sympathy, before examining the wound. The arrow had gone all the way through, which made it easy to take it out.

You snapped the back portion of the arrow in half, the boy groaning lightly at the movement. Aethelred writhed in pain, a hoarse cry escaping his throat. You looked up at his father who was muttering words to his son, that you ignored. “You’ll have to hold him still, Prince Aethelwulf. I need to take this arrow out before he loses too much blood.” He nodded, standing and waving two other soldiers over. They all held him still, and you carefully began to pull the arrow out. Aethelred screamed just as Judith came running over, but before she could reach him, he was unconscious.
