the thought of the evening is about NIGHTMARES WHOOOO
#revallen bolting awake from a nightmare about whatever the fuck. maybe nessie maybe his father maybe his dead wife#but he bolts upright which wakes dorian up and dorian is like 'whzzuh?? hfmn. amatus??'#and revallen doesn't answer so dorian gets up on an elbow and says again: Amatus??#revallen's staring at nothing and breathing heavily. he's covered in cold sweat. he doesn't answer dorian#so dorian sits up further and puts a hand on his arm and says slightly louder: are you alright Amatus??#and revallen blinks out of his daze and looks at dorian. still a bit confused. unaware of the tears rolling down his cheeks#dorian sees them though and immediately rises to meet revallen face to face#cups one of his cheeks in his hand and uses his thumb to brush away the tears#brushing them away makes revallen notice the tears and he tries to pull away. dorian stops him by saying his name softly#he meets revallen's eyes - still distressed and confused - and sighs softly. then he brings his other hand up to revallen's cheek#and says 'it's all right Amatus. it's okay. deep breaths.'#revallen nods a bit - looks down - takes a deep breath and a few more tears fall#so dorian pulls his head to his shoulder to give him something to lean on and wraps an arm around his back#'i can only imagine how hard this is on you' he says softly. 'the inquisition and the whole of thedas demanding your leadership'#'it's no wonder you're exhausted. come‚ Amatus. get some rest.'#revallen brings a shaky hand up to hug dorian back. and nods‚ his face still pressed into dorian's shoulder#they shift so dorian is holding him with one ear pressed to his chest to hear his heartbeat. just cradling him close#so what if there's a spreading wetness on his shirt. dorian just holds him closer. 'sleep‚ Amatus. it's all right. just sleep.'#eventually he does fall back asleep. dorian continues to hold him#when someone disturbs them - either in revallen's quarters in skyhold or revallen's tent in camp - he brings a finger to his lips#tilts his head to tell them to leave#if it's someone like bull or leliana they may ask if they inquisitor is well. and dorian gives them a pleading look. 'leave him be' he asks.#'he just needs some time. let him rest.'#revallen lavellan#dorian pavus
