[ he's like some kind of creature vibrating with Too Much -- energy, stress, emotion, a little of everything. it makes sense after the weekend they've had with all their emotions raw and frayed.
astarion's done pitch perfect, he's used to pitch perfect. not doing pitch perfect feels like he's spiralling out of control and losing his grip on himself and the situation all at once.
but it does feel real. very real. he's not used to very real. ]
...
[ he blinks when gale drops their foreheads together, squinting slightly at the very light impact. ]
I have no clue what I'm doing. [ he's said this so many times, but he really, really doesn't. ] But-- I don't mind that, actually.
[ oopsies. accidentally fake dated your way into real dating who the fuck would have thought two very emotionally Weird people would be ae to be normal about that. sometimes there is not a freaking difference between pretending to date somone and just dating someone. morons.
anyway i guess someone has to be an alpha around here so just gently pulling one hand to cup his cheek and kiss him. ]
[ the fake dating au of booktok's dreams and they just idiod'd their way right through it. 10/10 would read the sequel, hope they have no braincells there either.
i'm proud of you for eschewing the bottom allegations in chat. also a good thing because otherwise they might've just stood there like a terrible romance cover for the rest of the thread. as it is, astarion will relinquish his grasp on the hand gale's using to cup his cheek, but tighten his grip on the other one. with one hand free, he slips it down and around gale's waist to tug him closer. ]
[ they are trying their best and that’s all that matters. maybe. speaking of idiocy, gale definitely is out of practice with the whole. physical kissing thing. i was gonna say he’s probably a decade out of practice but camille also kissed him but i don’t think he learned anything from that. ]
[ help. that's fair, sometimes you are abandoned by literal god and that does some things to you. also i am so glad kabby's execution kiss streak continues, honestly. ]
Hmmm.
That's nothing that can't be sorted with a little practice.
[ sometimes your goddess girlfriend does not like non-astral banging. gale is a little shy but look. no point in being coy at this point. ]
Of course. One hardly ever learns perfectly on the first try. [ well, ] In a metaphorical sense. I actually did learn a lot of spells perfectly on the first try.
[ R E S I G N E D but in a way that annoyingly comes across a fond. like a man who has accepted his fate. and his fate has a lot of academic musing on spells in its future.
it’s fine. ]
He says, still talking.
[ and he can already sense the backtalk to that coming so he just removes his hand and kisses him again to shut him up instead. much better. ]
[ that'll work, smart thinking. look it's a little awkward they are just in the middle of the hallway and astarion probably has a lot of shopping bags on the floor now, but also he's just kind of too giddy to do anything but this at the moment. ]
this will just have to be everyone else’s issue. there probably are a lot of shopping bags on the floor and they were meant to be going to bookstore? or something? but it’s fine. plans change. ]

Yes, yes, your brain is huge and very attractive. Stop talking about spells.
