some of my headcanons:

I think their first kiss was initiated by Helaena (because Aemond is a fucking bottom), because she is a very sincere and sensitive girl, which cannot be said about the overly reserved Aemond. They had been fond of each other since childhood, but Aemond would not have taken any liberties towards his sister, especially one who had long been engaged to Aegon. But Helaena didn’t share this point of view, she was engaged to another brother, yes, but they were both her brothers, her blood! I think in her heart Helaena wanted to marry Aemond, but she obeyed the family tradition like every one of them.
Helaena is as timid as a doe, so in this kiss, or at least in the attempt of one, she put all her courage that I’m sure saved up for months. And regardless of how Aemond reacted, she would have run away almost immediately, without giving him the slightest opportunity to say anything. She would run away and remain unaware of his reaction herself, because there were a great many consequences that frightened her.
