#you show astarion your ankle once & he forgets how to act

[aluneposting]

thinking about how astarion receives one (1) kind touch & then is obsessed with the feel of tav's hand on his body……… like nonsexually, he wants them touching him at all times…. a hand on his elbow….. their cheek against his shoulder……. their thigh against his at dinner……… their obnoxiously cold toes against his calves at night when they're camping……………..

astarion cradles the back of their head absentmindedly when they're chatting… he loves massaging their temples when they rest their head is in his lap…

he can't stop holding onto their cape when they tell gale that astarion asked for NO pickles
