Learning to Coexist

For @scarletfoxtales by @kayura-fuckthechantry-fii
Prompts filled: - Dorian and Bull both surprise each other with a hot drink on a cold night at skyhold. Maybe coffee or cider for Dorian and Cocoa for Bull? But I’m not super picky + Huddling up in a cave during a blizzard, telling each other tales to distract from the fact they may not get out alive. Whether they do or not is up to you.(and I kinda mushed it all together with hugs.)

note: I really wanted to call this Varric’s Lament

Summary: Dorian and Bull get caught with a cave in between them and the rest of the party.  With instructions to “stay put” and nothing but time to kill while being smothered with tension, the two find themselves actually talking.

They’ve been dancing around each other since the Inquisition found Skyhold.  Aggressive flirting and steamy bluster back and forth with no clear line between fun making and genuine offering.  To those on the outside, the feelings are just as mixed; concern at the sentiment and excitement at the show.

Dorian is frustrated (huffy) at how easily the Iron Bull could rile him up; at how much he wants the flirting to be real.  But he doesn’t trust it.  Ignoring that the man’s Qunari, he’s Ben Hassrath, a spy and a liar.  Dorian learned early in his life that anything so blatant is, not only too good to be true but also, hiding something else.  Something hurtful.  So even when the Iron Bull makes him he rebuts any approach and hides his smile behind a sneer.

The Iron Bull knows just about everything he needs to know about Dorian (scion-of-house-Pavus-most-recently-of-Minrathus), little Altus from Tevinter; emotionally repressed, personality made of misdirection and self deprecation and arrogance; a man who wears a mask more easily than his own face.  Bull also knows that he’s too pretty by half, and far too aware of it.  (He’s certainly a case for believing Tevinter breeding practices, regardless, the Bull thinks in his more less-than-sober considerations of the man).  And Bull’s okay with that, mostly because he can tell that the ‘Vint is being straightforward with /why he’s joined the Inquisition.  

But the longer Bull watches him, which is as often as he can get away with and a few more blatant times besides, the better he can read the younger man.  The more he wonders if half of that bluster isn’t just the man not knowing how to react with normal people.  He sees the way the mage’s eyes linger on the Commander’s shoulders but glide over the Inquisitor’s ample assets, the way he flirts as easy as anything but only shows high color and quickened breath when the men smile encouragement.

For @themusicmaker69 and the prompt “Dorian’s parents come to Skyhold” by @scarletfoxtales. Angst and family fighting follows.

They don’t talk about it, not at first. They don’t talk about a lot of things. Important things, yes, the Iron Bull makes sure of that. On the second night Dorian comes to him, courage bolstered by whatever he’d been drinking in his alcove, the Bull sits him down and waits until it’s worn off a little. Goes and gets him some food from down below, nothing fancy.

A bowl of stew and some bread, a pitcher of water. Dorian hasn’t overdone it on the drinking, doesn’t usually. He doesn’t live in the bottle.

The Bull could see Dorian getting to that point someday, sure. But not now. Not when there are better distractions to be had. The Bull’s fine with being one of them.

They talk about watchwords; it’s not a fun talk. Dorian’s flippant, agrees to one because why not, he wants sex and Bull’s somewhat attractive and has nice muscles and a kind face if a bit scarred, but will he just get on with it? Dorian wants to be fucked into the mattress, now please. Ugh.

The pleases are an afterthought, not true begging. They’re said with a sigh, like Dorian is doing the Bull a great favor by even being here.

“You’re not the first man I’ve done this kind of thing with” Dorian tells him, “and you won’t be the last. Now if you would just get on with it? Or should I tie you up, and fuck myself on your cock? At least something would be happening, then.”
