Cullen is fine in the field. He can set up a tent, build a fire, find water safe to drink, make something edible. But he hasn't traveled enough to get the knack of what's wise to bring.

These days it makes little difference, given his status: he helps to set up camp, but there are runners and adjutants to find and fetch things. And there are few enough of them, this time -- not the massed force of the Inquisition, but a patrol's worth of soldiers and scouts and accompanying support -- that in the evenings, Cullen finds himself... restless.

It's akin to the reason he doesn't frequent the Herald's Rest, but there's no office to hide in, and no paperwork to justify staying in the tent.

At least tomorrow he and Alistair will peel off to where Honnleath used to be, to spend the night and rejoin the rest again late the following day.

(This may also contribute to his fidgeting.)

Another tiny huff of laughter. Alistair meets Cullen's eyes.

He frees one hand, after a beat, so he can lay it against Cullen's cheek.

Alistair shakes his head.

If they hadn't just fought badly enough for Cullen to literally throw himself in the lake, he might propose a deal, half in jest. I won't call myself an idiot if you don't call yourself a monster.

There is not a damn thing in the whole of Thedas that would make him say that right now. Or maybe ever again.

Instead, he presses a soft, lingering kiss to Cullen's scar, sweeping his thumb along the ridge of Cullen's cheekbone.

Alistair breathes out, a bit shaky. His mouth moves an inch: he kisses Cullen properly, harder this time.

As he presses closer, one foot sneaks between Cullen's.

Oh, that's nice.

Alistair stifles a groan of pleasure, badly. He rests an elbow next to Cullen's head so he can grip his hair again. His other hand slides down Cullen's bare side, fingers digging lightly into his hip.

It's suddenly become very important that Cullen isn't wearing a shirt. It may, in fact, be the best decision Cullen's ever made in his life, as far as Alistair is concerned.

No chance of stifling a moan now. Alistair's back curves, without conscious thought, to push down against him in kind.

Cullen's throat is an open invitation -- one he accepts gladly. Alistair mouths a line across his neck, letting his teeth graze the spot over Cullen's pulse.

Maker, he wants to --

He tries to catch his breath. Manages to say, hot against Cullen's neck, "How much do you want?"

"Yes."

His mouth finds Cullen's again, fastens on in a hungry kiss. When it finally breaks: "Everything. It's yours."

He gets a hand between their hips, with effort, to see about getting rid of those pesky trousers Cullen's still wearing.
bringspeopletogether: ([warden] funny you should say that)

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2017-02-16 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Alistair pauses, then starts to laugh, too, quiet and sheepish.

"How," he says as he helps Cullen yank his shirt free, "did I end up wearing more clothes than you after trying to warm you up?"

Alistair shivers.

"Your favorite? Out of everything? Really?"

Alistair plants his hands on either side of Cullen's shoulders, smiling down at him.

"Well," he murmurs, "I'm relieved I made the list, then."

Despite months together, despite everything Cullen told him earlier today, Alistair's heart flutters like wingbeats against his chest. Maybe this will stop feeling so remarkable some day. Maker, he hopes it doesn't.

He leans down. The kiss is gentler this time, more tender.

(No less thorough, though.)

Alistair's smile has turned smaller, sweeter; he hasn't opened his eyes.

"I can't begin to say how glad I am that you found me," he whispers.

"You've always helped me remember who was I was before Adamant."

He opens his eyes. Gently, he brushes aside a bit of hair that's fallen over Cullen's forehead.

"You've never doubted I could get better. I look at you, and I know I'm safe."
