I prefer the term "revolutionized"~

Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep @mrdekarios.bsky.social · Nov 9

Astarion has completely destroyed my sleep schedule.

-sigh-

[ Eyes shut, relishing the affection. ]

Well, I've got nothing but time...

[ He nestles his nose into chestnut locks, smoothing hands along Gale's back. ]

But I think right now, I'd rather be spending it catching up with my wizard~

[ Kissing the side of his head. ]

Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep @mrdekarios.bsky.social · Nov 8

-smiles and leans in to kiss him before answering.

And kisses him again.

Okay, one more time.-

There is little doubt… I could feel it.

But it’ll take time.

-Softly nuzzles him.-

[ Gods, he's precious. Like a nerdy little puppy. Astarion scritches his chin sweetly. ]

Hm... I think I can manage that.

[ Doesn't sound too challenging. Gale would be doing the hard part. ]

... Do you really think it'll have what we're looking for...?

-Relaxing in the touch.-

You’re technically not wrong.

I will have to read the book… Navigate the arcane maze.

You would keep an eye on me. Make sure I don’t get too lost. Perhaps even pull me out if I get too deep.

-protrudes his chin a little as his beard is rubbed-

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Nov 8

Together...?

[ He chuckles, holding Gale's jaw in his palm and idly rubbing his thumb over his beard. ]

How would that even work?

You turn the pages, and I hold your head on straight so it doesn't go spinning off your shoulders?

-Cupping his partner’s face with both hands.-

It holds many things I already knew… but its deepest secrets are very deep in the sinew.

I’ve come to discover the book is too dangerous to explore alone.

If we’re going to get a cure out of it, we’ll have to do it together.

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Nov 8

You little scoundrel~

[ He teases with a devious smile, settling a hand on the wizard's waist and holding him close. ]

... Learn anything interesting~?

Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep @mrdekarios.bsky.social · Nov 8

Well… Actually.

-timidly twirls one of Astarion’s curls around his finger-

I maaaaay have snuck a peek at your necromancy book.

Just a little peep… I couldn’t help myself.

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Nov 8

Pity. I was hoping to come back to a story or two~

[ Chuckling, he tilts his head to allow Gale to shower affection as he pleases. ]

Maybe some smoldering ruins...

[ He makes a soft sound as the wizard's warm lips tease against his ear. ]

Mmh... How sweet of you to save all your mischief for me~

The only trouble I get into is when you’re around~

-He sways playfully with Astarion and kisses his neck, jaw, cheek, even the sensitive edge of his ear. Very lightly of course-

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Nov 8

My sweet~

[ The book is quickly forgotten, dropped unceromoniously as Astarion reciprocates the embrace, nestling into the crook of his neck.

Beyond the heat from Gale's body, he feels a warmth from within to see how dearly he was missed. ]

Cause any trouble while I was away?

-Wakes slowly when the book is taken away. The sight over him bring a warm smile to his face.-

My love!

-Hops up to hug him around the neck-

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Nov 8

[ A fond smile creeps onto his face.

Reading the title, he can't help but chuckle. ]

𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢?

[ He teases softly, lifting the book from the wizard's face to read the opened passage. ]

𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺?

-snoring under the book-

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Nov 7

[ Approaching quietly as not to disturb him, peering at the cover on the book curiously. ]

-sleeping with a book open on his face-

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Oct 30

"Now you're getting it~"

Astarion chuckles, handing the bottle back to Gale.

"And I was right-- This pales in comparison."

He smiles, unsubtly eyeing the wizard's neck and licking his lips.

Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep @mrdekarios.bsky.social · Oct 27

After momentary confusion, Gale can recognize a very familiar expression on the vampire’s face.

“Oh…” he replies coyly, a soft shade of pink fills his cheeks. Immediately Gale is scanning over all the people around them in camp.

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Oct 26

Oh, come now, Gale. You're a smart boy.

[ He gingerly takes a small sip, though the taste just makes him wish he was drinking... something else. ]

Surely you can guess~

Your favorite? What’s that?

-It obviously goes clean over his head.-

-offers him the bottle, since unfortunately they don’t have cups to drink from.-

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖊𝖑𝖋. @decadentae.bsky.social · Oct 24

I think I've already found my favorite~

... But I'd be happy to try some.

I’ve found an incredible vintage, would anyone like a glass?
