Alistair came awake briefly during the night (day? how was time even told around here, with no sun to mark the hours?) as something in the castle rumbled, his sense of the ambient magic in the fortress vibrating like a plucked harp string. But the bed was warm and his arms were full of a comfortable, sleeping mage. After a moment, Alistair made up his mind - he maneuvered himself and Daylen under the bed's blankets and drifted back off to sleep.
There were plenty of people out and about in Skyhold who could handle whatever problem that was. Right now, he needed to be here more than he needed to be a hero.

"I've been given the impression from talking with the others that that particular version of me is a less than happy man." Alistair gave Daylen a confused look. "Though I was not given any indication that he was anything other than mentally sound. You said he was arguing with the rafters?"

Date: 2015-09-02 08:43 pm (UTC)From:Alistair dropped into the chair next to the table, and shuffled through some of the thing piled on the table until he found the knife from earlier. Then he set about constructing a ridiculous looking pair of towers of sliced apple, cheese and hard sausage.

Date: 2015-09-02 10:50 pm (UTC)From:When he finally noticed the ridiculous arrangement of food Alistair had constructed he snorted and bent his head to rinse the last of the soap out of his hair.
"You missed your calling as a fiddly Orlesian cook, looks like." He straightened, pushing his hair back and wringing a little water from it. The piney scent of the soap was idly comforting, the association he'd grown between it and Alistair's presence strong. "Hand me a towel would you?"

Date: 2015-09-02 11:01 pm (UTC)From:"You won't be so quick to insult my construction methods once you've actually eaten some of it. Or did you think I was going to eat both towers myself?"
no subject
Date: 2015-09-02 11:27 pm (UTC)From:"Well i don't doubt you could eat both." He moved on to drying off his chest and arms, before wrapping the towel across his shoulders and shimmying it down his back. "But if you're willing to share, I'm happy."

Date: 2015-09-03 12:33 am (UTC)From:He went over to the bundle of clothes and sundries and pulled out an opaque glass jar. He unscrewed it, sniffed it with a satisfied smile, and dabbed a tiny bit onto his hands. He worked it between his palms and then smoothing it through his hair with vigorous finger-combing. The scent was clean and mildly sweet, like beeswax, with faint herbal notes of embrium and prophet's laurel.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 01:25 am (UTC)From:He looked curiously at Daylen as the man finger-combed his hair into submission. Alistair's own hair was a fluffy, gently curling mess, only briefly finger-combed after the bath and left to air dry.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 01:43 am (UTC)From:Once Alistair was seated he started gently rubbing the unguent through his mostly-dry hair. It was smoothing and taming, and once his hair was falling in nicer curls, Daylen made a thoughtful noise. "This mixture is so useful. Conditioning, helps ease scars. Soothes chafing. Stays slick for ages." He scraped a fingernail along the outer curve of Alistair's ear. He let his hands trail down over Alistair's neck with a slight smirk, eyelashes dipping, and then turned to move away to grab the towel and clean his hands.
He was a steady burn of lust, coiled and heated, enjoying the teasing, but his belly was fluttering in anticipation.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 01:56 am (UTC)From:Alistair reached out and grabbed Daylen about the waist, pulling him back towards him. "Really now. And I'm assuming you know this from personal experience?" Alistair pressed a gentle kiss to Daylen's torso, before nipping at the skin beneath his lips lightly."I can certainly see the effect it has on your hair. Would you care to give a demonstration of any of this mixture's other fine qualities?"
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 02:23 am (UTC)From:He leaned back again, arching an eyebrow. "But I wouldn't want to distract from all the slicing of apples and sausage you did. Maybe food first?" His eyes were sparkling with mischief, but he was also curious, deeply so, if Alistair had a breaking point for teasing.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 02:36 am (UTC)From:Alistair pressed another half dozen kisses to Daylen's shoulder and collarbone, before he said, his voice rough, "Is there a reason why we can't indulge in both?"
Alistair's inner monologue was less confident and smooth-sounding, a mixture of 'don't push your luck too far' and 'what would Zevran say?' and 'did I really just ask myself what Zevran would do in this situation?' and wanthungerdesirebitekissmine.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 02:56 am (UTC)From:He took another sliver of apple, chewing it slowly, eyes closed as he ground his ass into Alistair's lap. He wasn't even aware of being hungry anymore, just reveling in the hands and mouth on him, the anticipation of Alistair discovering more, pleasure and sharing, and if he was lucky, fucking Daylen into the mattress. He groaned at the thought, the spike of want nearly painful.

Date: 2015-09-03 03:11 am (UTC)From:"Those are definitely not attached to the Maker." Alistair blinked, and then laughed at himself, the sound quickly becoming a groan of appreciation as Daylen ground against him, every dirty, lustful thought he'd had about Daylen in the past few hours rushing right to the forefront of his mind. He arched up against the mage in his lap, pressing his thickening cock against Daylen's ass.
"All I can think about when you are nearby is how much I want you." Alistair offered another morsel of former cheese-apple-sausage tower out for Daylen, and running fingertips with fading sword calluses across the man's lips in a gentle caress.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 03:28 am (UTC)From:"You aren't the only one who's distracted by that." He shook his head at the offer additional food, tipping Alistair's head back so that he could kiss him, just a teasing brush of his lips. "But I do wonder. What you think about? How do you want me?" He shifted again, closer, straddling Alistair's thighs but instead of letting their cocks rub together, trapped between them, he kept Alistair's trapped lower, under his seat where he could press and grind his ass against it. His own cock was hard against the other man's taut stomach.

no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 03:51 am (UTC)From:Alistair leaned forward and buried his face in Daylen's neck, laying kisses across the skin there. Overwhelmed by the possibilities and the intense desire to try and make as many of them realities as possible. He tightened his arms around Daylen and shivered.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 04:11 am (UTC)From:He slid out of Alistair's lap slowly, hands smoothing down his arms to grip his hands and pull him to his feet. "I'd love to have you inside me." He took several steps backwards, keeping his eyes on Alistair's, listening intently to the bond. "It's why I took so long hunting up that salve. So that you could stretch me enough to be able to take it without hurting." His hands were trembling and he was afraid that Alistair would find this repugnant, or distasteful. But by the void, how he ached at the idea of riding him, or being pinned underneath him.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 04:27 am (UTC)From:He reached out, pulling Daylen back close to him, and drawing him in for a fierce, loving kiss - pouring his love and acceptance, his willingness to try, his stubborn desire to make things right and perfect and good for Daylen. He pulled back and whispered, "I'm willing to try, if you're willing to teach me. I don't want to hurt you."
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 04:46 am (UTC)From:"Oh love." He reached up to cup his face, closing his eyes and listening carefully to the bond as he spoke. "Is it something you've ever thought about? I'm more than thrilled you'd want to try, but if you haven't ever thought about bending a man over and fucking him, it changes how I'd approach this." He kissed Alistair again before he could answer, a quick, hard clinch, and then watched him with eyes that were naked in their love, concern, devotion to making every first time for Alistair what he wanted.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 04:59 am (UTC)From:Alistair stuttered out, "I know generally how it works, but..." and stopped, his discomposure turning him pink with a faint blush.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 05:09 am (UTC)From:He kissed down to his chest, mouth brushing over the left nipple, and then sat down on the edge of the bed, hands pulling Alistair closer by the hips. He smirked up at him, eyes over-bright, and murmured,"Forgive me?" before lowering his mouth to kiss the tip of Alistair's cock.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 02:22 pm (UTC)From:Alistair looked down at Daylen and swallowed visibly, his eyes dark with arousal. He cleared his throat and said, in a warm, enticing voice, "I wouldn't object to more of that."
no subject
Date: 2015-09-03 07:30 pm (UTC)From:He turned his eyes back up to Alistair as he slid his lips over the crown and gently sucked, tongue flexing against the slit. His hands circled to Alistair's ass, one squeezing and kneading, while the other trailed along the sensitive crease at the top of his thigh.
He felt almost covetous, shuddering pleasure at the taste of Alistair's skin, drinking in the sensations second hand, finding exactly what would unhinge Alistair.

Date: 2015-09-03 08:28 pm (UTC)From:"I'd say...'no, you are' but...that would be...childish." Alistair panted, Daylen's hands and mouth drawing soft groans and panting breaths from him with ease. The hot, wet slide of Daylen's tongue across the head of his cock, dipping into the slit, and the gentle suction was overwhelmingly pleasant. With great effort, Alistair held himself back from bucking up into Daylen's mouth, pressing back against the hands on his ass.
