[ Astarion gifts him so much, culminating in that second, unexpected kiss. Offered freely, no influence but Gale himself to account for. Gale doesnโt let him go, isnโt sure he could, thinking, madly, what fool would ever wish to be anywhere but here? What matter the heavens, with earthly delights so bright? ]
Wow.
[ wholly captivated, despite that note of surprise, leaning forward like heโs awfully tempted to kiss Astarion again and again and again until they havenโt the faintest idea who is kissing who. Too much, too fast, possibly born of the same instinct that carried him around a darkened bend to an eerie glow. To have or to please โ reigned in, to the barest press forehead-to-forehead, nose-to-nose before he lifts his head to a sociable distance. ]
Until midnight.
[ Echoed like a reminder to himself. Hopeful as a pup by the door, head tipped to one side. Gale lets his hand fall away from Astarionโs face, skimming down his arm to re-entwine their fingers. ]
