Let Me be Gay for the Bard | Jaskier x Male! Reader

Chapter 6

The shadows in the room grew long as the sun sank further into the horizon. Jaskier was currently getting ready for his performance of the night. (Y/N) sat on the bed cleaning his armor while softly humming. Jaskier was the first to break the comforting silence. "Today had to be one of the most relaxing days I have had in a long time," the singer said looking over at his friend.
"Haven't you just sat back and done nothing before?" (Y/N) asked, looking at Jaskier questioningly.
"I have, just not with another," Jaskier admitted, "Well other than sex, I haven't just laid in bed and cuddled a person." (Y/N) simply nodded, "It is a pretty calming thing, laying in bed holding a person and just talking." A smile graced the adventurer's lips as he looked down at his armor.

"You are not wrong," Jaskier said with a sigh. The singer soon finished getting ready going over to the bed and grabbing his lute. "Wish to join me downstairs, my dear?" He asked, looking at (Y/N).
(Y/N) laughed softly, his (E/C) eyes seemed to sparkle. "I would love to," the adventurer replied, getting up. The two men walked downstairs (Y/N) splitting off to go find a place to sit while Jaskier went to begin his performance.

Jaskier's performance started like all the others with a few of his more well known songs before diving into songs he rarely sang. To (Y/N) the performance was just as wonderful as all the others he heard. Like the first night the adventurer heard the bard perform, (Y/N) sat there with his journal out sketching the handsome man singing. Jaskier looked over at his friend as he began playing a new song, one (Y/N) never heard.

I have a question

It might seem strangeHow are your lungs?

Are they in pain?

(Y/N) tilted his wondering what this song was about. When did Jaskier make this one? He hasn't heard this one before.

'Cause mine are aching

Think I know whyI kinda like it though

You wanna try?

Jaskier gave him a sweet smile as he continued to sing. His voice soft and playful sounding almost, it was certainly different than the bard's normal songs.

Oh would you be

So kindAs to fall in love with me, you see
I'm trying

I know you know that I like you

But that's not enough

So if you willPlease fall in loveI think it's only fair

There's gotta be some butterflies somewhere
Wanna share?

'Cause I like you

But that's not enough
So if you will
Please fall in love with me

(Y/N) found himself blushing lightly as he listened to the song. He smiled looking down like an idiot not entirely sure what to do. (Y/N) knew the bard for less than a month but that month was the best month of his life. He knew he liked the other but he wasn't sure what the extent of it was. They grew close rather quickly and neither one seemed to think much of it. It all came so naturally to the two men almost as if they knew each other for years. The people in the tavern looked at Jaskier and followed his gaze to the man in the booth who was looking rather flustered.

Let's write a story
Be in my book

You've got to join me on my page

At least take a look

Oh, where are your manners?
You need some time?

Let's swap chests today

That might help you decide

Jaskier closed the distance between the two as he sang. (Y/N) looked up watching as the other approached him. Red blush darkening his cheeks.

Oh, would you be
So kind

As to fall in love with me, you see
I'm trying
I know you know that I like you

But that's not enough

So if you will
Please fall in love
I think it's only fair

There's gotta be some butterflies somewhere (wanna share)

'Cause I like you

But that's not enough

So if you will

Please fall in love

Oh I like you

But that's not enough
So if you will

Please fall in love with me

When the song ended Jaskier was merely feet away from the other looking at the adventurer as the whole tavern burst into applause. "What did you think?" Jaskier asked, moving to take a seat across from the other a large smile across his face.

(Y/N) looked up at him, blushing across his face a soft laugh leaving him. "It was-... Gods," he said another nervous laugh left him. "I loved it," he finally said. Jaskier's smile seemed to widen at the other's answer. "I am glad! That last song was one I made up while you were out doing a contract last week. Wasn't sure how it would turn out," Jaskier admitted with a soft laugh. "That explains why I never heard it before," (Y/N) said. "I was thinking of playing it for you earlier today but I didn't want to make you uncomfortable," Jaskier said, rubbing his neck as he looked at him. "Oh yes because confessing your undying love while cuddled up to me would make me uncomfortable," (Y/N) teased with a laugh. "Hey, I didn't know if you openly cuddled with all of your friends," Jaskier defended, laughing. (Y/N) shook his head, "Only you."

The laughter between the two died out and they were left staring at each other. (Y/N) attempted to say something, his mouth opening before closing. He wasn't sure what to say but before he could gain the confidence to try and speak Jaskier had leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to the other's lips. (Y/N) was surprised, his eyes widening for a split second before he closed his eyes and returned the tender kiss.

A sigh left the bard when he felt the other return the kiss. Jaskier was no stranger when it came to love, he often felt it and chased it down when he did. Almost every time it was just a longing for a partner and as soon as he felt it he wouldn't think twice and try to catch it. Only this time was when it caught him. At first he expected this to be something similar to his time with Geralt but soon found that it wasn't when (Y/N) started asking him questions. The adventurer wanted to get to know Jaskier and learn more behind him. In the first week the two almost seemed to know everything about each other. It felt so right. It was almost like they knew each other since childhood instead of meeting a few weeks before.

It was only a minute before the two broke the kiss. Jaskier reached over the table and grasped (Y/N)'s hand. (Y/N)'s eyes flickered from their hands to Jaskier's blue eyes. "I love you, " (Y/N) said softly, a bright and happy smile finding its way onto both their faces. "I love you too," Jaskier said before leaning in and pressing another kiss to the adventurer's lips. 

{Another quick and small update. I do hope you enjoy the soft fluff I have a bit more planned. I know it seems rushed. I wanted it to seem like it came from out of nowhere and have no explanation because I had something similar happen to me with a person. Like you have no idea why you feel so comfortable around them or it feels like you knew the person forever even though you barely just met. The song is Would You Be So kind? Dodie Clark. I absolutely love this song. Please comment if you want me to continue with the fluff or if you'd like a bit more spice in the next chapter. Stay safe and have a wonderful day! - Osgon}
