summary : the morning after <3 .

warnings : romance / sfw . fem / afab reader . established relationship . pet names used . comfort and kisses for astarion . and i think that's it ! tell me if i missed something ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ !

word count : about 560 *

reading time : about 3 minutes *

other : 14+ ** . i don't have bg3 so i don't play it however i think interpreted astarion character as well as i could so i'm proud of myself ! this is a continuation of the smut i wrote. may have some minor grammatical errors && the entire story is written in lower case and the punctuation has double spacing in between the words * .a/n : not only do i want to fuck astarion very badly ☝🏾 ... but i also want to comfort him and give him all the love i could possibly give it him because my pookie deserves it after all of the suffering he had to endure for two centuries <3 . so i wrote this short fluff piece to go with the smut , enjoy :3 !

you awaken the next morning to the sounds of birds chirping and the sun beaming through the tree leaves . When you sit up and look around , you notice astarion standing in the sunniest spot , enjoying the warmth on his skin . he hears you moving around and then he turns his gaze to you . " well , good morning , my love , " astarion smiles . " did you sleep well ? " he asks as he walks over and hands you your clothes .

" yup , i'm all refreshed ! " you say as you stretch . " that's good ... and here i thought you'd be exhausted after last night , " astarion teases . " haha , very funny - " you say jokingly as you get dressed . " shall we head back , darling ? " astarion asks you once he sees you've finished putting your clothes on . " mhm , let's head back , " you say to astarion before walking to him and holding onto his arm .

while you both are heading back to camp , you notice that astarion is unusually silent while you two walk , has a look of unease on his face , and appears to be deep in thought . you stop walking and ask , " what's the matter , my love ? You look troubled ... " " hm ? i was just thinking about things , " he responds . " can i tell you about my worries , y / n ... ? " astarion asks . " of course you can , astarion . you can always tell me how you're feeling , " you say to him with a reassuring smile . " well , now that we're dating and now that i have something real in my life after 200 years , i'm just afraid i'll mess up , and i just want to be enough for you ... " he admits to you in a quiet tone , but with a hint of vulnerability in it .

you stand there patiently listening to him , taking in the words that come out of his mouth , as he honestly expresses his feelings to you . when he's done speaking , you look him in the eyes and say , " you mean the world to me , astarion , and i love you more than anything else . you are perfect just the way you are , i love you for you , astarion , and a doubt anything will change that . " you continue. " and of course , you're enough for me ... i don't think i could ever see myself loving any man other than you , " you say tenderly , touching his pale face .

astarion stood there speechless . the look in your eyes as you spoke to him ; showed that you really meant every word you said . astarion then says , " sorry , that was silly of me to even think something like — " you cut him off before he could finish his sentence . " no , don't say that , Astarion ; your feelings are valid , even the negative ones , " you say to him . " i'll always listen to what you have to say nor will i be upset for you expressing yourself . " you add with a smile .

" you're right , thank you , my love , " he says as he strokes your cheek . " i love you , astarion , " you say once more . " now , c'mon , the others won't wait on us if we're not there before they wake up ! " you say , holding his hand . " okay , okay - " he chuckles , and you both start running to the camp , fingers entwined , and Astarion's affection for you growing by the second .
