Halfway through the premiere episode of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones , Jon Snow (Kit Harington) rides a dragon. Its a moment fans of the HBO show, and George R.R. Martin s A Song Of Ice and Fire book series, have been anticipating for years: Aegon Targaryen, the true heir to the Iron Throne, confidently mounts the dragon named after his father and fiercely protects Winterfell against the army of the dead.

Except it doesnt happen that way. In actuality, Aegon Targaryen timidly mounts Rhaegal for a humorous glide through the northern landscape with his boo Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and her favorite child, Drogon. Its the perfect wintertime date.

Its cold up here for a southern girl, Jon tells Dany in front of an icy waterfall. So keep your queen warm, she responds before they share an over-the-top kiss in front of their embarrassed dragons. (Ew, mom, I imagine Drogon saying.)
