Chapter Text
SFW:
- Side glances when you're besides him
- Full on staring when you're not
- Immediately looking away when you catch him
- "You know the way he looks at you, don't you, soldier?"
- His pinky itching towards yours when you're walking, wanting to hold your hand but unsure because, is it too much? Will you reject him?
- His hands scrunching up your shirt tightly whenever you hug. He's always the last to let go.
- You hold on longer and longer each time because he doesn't want to let go.
- His kisses are tender and needy.
- He likes the warmth of your hands.
- Thinking of what tones will suit your perfume the best. He'll gift it to you after all this is over.
- He'll sew the holes or tears in your clothes over the night and pretend he doesn't know what happened next morning.
- When you move to kiss his cheek he will grimace in annoyance but lean in as you do it.
- "Be careful around Astarion, (Tav). He's not serious about you.", the others will warn you. And Astarion will worry you'll heed their words more than his so he'll do so much to prove his love to you, not knowing that you already trust him (even if that is an objectively stupid thing to do lmao).
- He started sleeping next to you from the moment you had sex but ever since you've entered the shadowlands, he ends up cuddling in the middle of the night. He misses the sun.
- He likes kissing the palm of your hand or its back.
- Likes to pack your bag before you leave camp.
- "No one's ever going to love me like that again."
- Ever since you told him that there's more to him than just beauty and sex, that he's hilarious, for instance, he finds ways to make you laugh. He loves it. He's started being a lot more sarcastic and makes more jokes just to hear your laughter. He'll never admit it, of course. Other than maybe when it's only you two.
- Doesn't believe he will be able to love again if you let go of him.
- "Don't be so nice to me." he says with round, needy and pleading eyes.
- Thinking of ways he can show others you're together so others know you're not available.
- Hiding his jealousy, terribly.
- He will rip the throat out of anyone with malicious intent towards you.
- "I will wait the whole of my life for you, Astarion." He doesn't believe it at first, but the longer you go on without sex the safer he feels and the more he wants you.
