“Astarion, are you.. alright? You appear to be bleeding. Quite a bit.” He scowled, waving his hand in the air.

“You're so observant, Gale. All of that academia being put to good use I see.” He made a wide berth around Gale's tent, going out of his way even though it would have been easier to cut directly across, given their tents were right next to each other. He stopped at the entrance to his own, pulling his eyebrows together in irritation when Gale called out to him again.

“I believe I have a scroll of minor healing around here… somewhere, I'm sure I could help you if you-”

“I don't need your help, wizard. I'll wait for Tav and the cleric to come back.” He walked into his tent, a heavy sigh leaving him as he threw his bloodied shirt aside, looking down at his stomach. His frown deepened as he ran fingers over the wound, tutting softly.

NSFW BELOW THE CUT!

He brought Gale's arm to his mouth, lightly running his tongue over the soft pulse in his wrist. It hardly went unnoticed the way Gale's breath hitched just slightly, his heart rate almost doubling. Astarion sank his teeth in, swallowing a large gulp of his blood- and immediately pulled away, spitting it out.

“That. Is. Vile.” Gale laughed as he pulled his arm away, and Astarion's hand froze, his head tilting as he listened to the sound. It wasn't entirely unpleasant, really. He found himself leaning forward, pressing his palm against the other man's cheek, both of them going very still.

“What, exactly, are you doing Astarion?”

“Trying to find out what, exactly, Tavi finds so interesting about you.” He moved his hand to the nape of Gales' neck, gently pulling his head forward, pressing their lips together. Even if his blood was rather unpleasant, his mouth certainly was not. His kiss was soft and warm, Astarion's hands clenching at Gale's shirt while fingers pulled through his hair. It was much more passionate than he had intended for it to be.

He was surprised when Gale pulled away from their kiss, and more surprised when he stood, reaching forward and placing his palm against Astarion's cheek. They stood there for a moment, Gale trying to catch his breath before he leaned forward, speaking quietly.

“You know Astarion, something gives me the impression that you'd like someone else to be in control for once.” Astarion's tongue flicked out over his lips, a sultry smile twisting his mouth.

“Whatever would give you that impression, wizard?” Gale leaned closer, moving his hand down and pushing a finger between Astarion's lips, smirking when Astarion started sucking on it without any hesitation.

“Call it intuition,” he whispered, pulling his hand away. He undid the laces on his pants, letting them fall down his legs to reveal his semi-hard cock, taking it into his hand. Astarion couldn't take his eyes off the way Gale's fist slowly moved up and down his length, his thumb swiping over the tip. He leaned forward unintentionally, licking his lips again as his eyes flicked up to Gale's, meeting his smirk.

“My intuition is often quite accurate.”

“You're insufferable,” Astarion breathed, shifting off the bed and onto the floor.

“Insufferable maybe, but you're on your knees for me all the same. Now, open.” He stepped forward, sliding his cock into Astarion's mouth, moaning as the vampire's lips closed around him.

The soft rustling of leaves filled the air as some members of the party settled around the campfire. The moonlight cast a gentle glow over the clearing, and the flickering flames danced in harmony with the shadows. Gale adjusted logs in the fire, his face illuminated by the warm light, while Astarion lounged comfortably on a nearby log, a book in hand. T, who had just returned from a wildshaping excursion, was now curled up in the soft grass, their cat form purring contentedly.

Astarion glanced over from his reading and watched as T transformed back into their Dragonborn self, shaking off the last remnants of their feline form.

"You look more relaxed than usual," the vampire remarked, a teasing glint in his eyes. "Perhaps there's something magical about being a cat?"

T offered a small, shy smile and shrugged. "Cats don't worry about saving the world. It's... nice to escape from it all, even if just for a little while."

Gale smiled softly as he approached, summoning a blanket to cover T. "Sometimes, it's those small moments of peace that help us keep going. You deserve all the respite you can get, T."

Both men knew T's anxiety was always just beneath the surface, and that they often found solace in the simple joys of life. As the dragonborn looked up at Gale and Astarion, their blue eyes softened. "Thank you. It means a lot to hear that."

Astarion set his book aside and stretched, his eyes never leaving T. "You do so much for us, darling, often putting yourself in harm's way. It's only fair you have moments like this to recharge."

Gale leaned over and gently placed a hand on T's shoulder. "We all need to take care of ourselves, not just the world around us. You taught me that."

He smiled, adjusting the blanket. "And we're here to support you, no matter what."

T's heart warmed at their words. They looked at the fire and then at their companions, feeling a profound sense of gratitude. "It's comforting to have both of you with me, you know. I don't know what I'd do without you."

Astarion smiled, an unusual amount of tenderness in his eyes. "Well, lucky for you, we're not going anywhere. Besides, you've managed to wriggle your way into our lives and hearts. We wouldn't have it any other way - would we, Gale?"

Gale chuckled softly. "Indeed. And who else would be brave enough to stand beside us, offering their strength and heart so freely?"

T let out a small laugh, the sound mingling with the crackling fire. "I guess I'm just lucky to have found such wonderful partners."

As the night deepened, the three of them settled closer together, sharing warmth and quiet laughter. The stars above seemed to twinkle just a little brighter, as if echoing their shared contentment. In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of the fire and the comfort of each other's company, all worries seemed to drift away, leaving only serenity and the hope of more peaceful nights to come.

Some random idea for the afterstory- is in context inspired by a quote Locke will say much later in the story.

''I'm sure if you could give a rat a good scrub, it would look as pristine as any other beloved animal.. I was a rat once, and now people look at me as if I've never been one. They don't even see the difference.'' Something among the lines of this, its a work in progress because of the themes in his backstory having to do with objectification and dehumanization.

So Locke, as Loki Wren- adopts a rat- and then a few more. And then domesticizes them LMAO imagine this pristine cute ass rat on his shoulder while Gale is trying to convince Tara that Loki did not bring her dinner, that rat is a friend. WE DON'T EAT FRIENDS.

COUGH COUGH COUGH rats are cute.

Astarion: [reluctantly] Are you SURE it doesn't bite...? Cats would make for better pets. Loki: Oh he does bite! But only if you scare him. Astarion: I'll.. Pass. For now. The rat: *pristine fur sparkle* :3

Meanwhile.. Somewhere.. Minsc with his hamster: What???? RODENTS ARE GREAT HOW DARE YOU. THEY ARE FRIENDS.

Baldurs gate folk be like.. ''Rats can be pets??? garbage!!! Lies!!! the newspaper said so!!'' And then in the following next 10 years pet rats are all the sudden extremely popular..

They then have contests for their breeds- fluffy, curly- fur color- and so forth. HAHAHAHAHAHHAA All because of a stupid half elf warlock who realized he really likes rats.

Rats are precious and pure and they are BABIES

(I may have held baby rats in my hands earlier today when I went out to adopt a guinea pig..)
