“How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”
“Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”
Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.
“Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”
“I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”
“It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.
“Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”
I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.

Summary
“I was hoping you’d put this enhanced strength of yours to better use than with boring old books, in a more… intimate setting.” He leaned closer to Gale’s ear, mouth lightly tugging on the earring before whispering, “Daddy.”
Gale nearly dropped all the books he was holding, head snapping over his shoulder to look at Astarion, as if making sure it was him saying that word, and not some devil over his shoulder. Which in this case, might as well be the case. Gale stared at him, mouth opening, then closing, then opening again, akin to a goldfish.
Oh, to see his wizened wizard, normally so calm and collected nowadays, lose all composure—Astarion’s grin widened.
“Watch it, Astarion,” Gale finally breathed out, voice low and husky, attempting to collect himself again, “You might just find yourself on the receiving end of this enhanced strength if you're not careful.”

Summary
Humans can go weeks without food. As long as they have access to water, some can even last months without biting into a hamburger or tasting the sweetness of strawberry jam on a biscuit hot out of the oven. There are drawbacks, of course, to skipping meals. Dizziness, fainting, weight loss too quick for the body to adapt to.
It’s Astarion's first table of the day. The dull, slow thump of his heartbeat rushes past his ears. His knees buckle with every step. He’s falling apart, he knows this, but with ten cents in the bank and another few days to wait until his paycheck comes in, all Astarion can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and hope he doesn’t collapse. There’s no time to think about the metaphorical hand tightening around his stomach and throat.
