Dragon Age: One Shots

Cassandra x Female Adaar- Favorite Character

(Art by: @Lutherniel on DeviantArt)

Adaar was sitting cross legged in her chair, staring longingly at Cassandra, who perceived it as admiration. Varric, however, knew the look better than anyone. Not from experience, but he had known a very interesting couple who had looked at each other just like that, always.

Cassandra was pouting and threw her hands in the air as she shouted. "Then you killed my favorite character in chapter three, so I threw the book across the room!"

Varric and The Inquisitor both began to scream in laughter.

"I don't doubt it!" The dwarf managed to say.

"Oh Cassandra, you're fucking adorable!" Adaar screamed.

Cassandra blushed, staring in confusion.

The Inquisitor realized what she had just said and slapped a hand over her mouth. "I- uh.. only meant. That wasn't! You see- And yeah."

Varric snorted even more atrociously.

Adaar stood from her chair. "I'm just. I'm just gonna go now." She walked as fast as her long legs would carry her, which happened to be very fast. But being tall, also meant minding her head, which she was not doing at the moment. She smacked the top of her horns on the edge of the door frame. "Fuck!" She yelled when her neck was pushed back. She regained her balance and fled to the courtyard.

She was sitting at a bench, head in her hands, trying to forget those distressing events that would forever haunt her. She had just lost Cassandra's respect.

"Let me say, if you made a scene like that every time you spoke to the woman-"

"No, no, no. Stop. I don't want to know."

"Oh but I think you do. Cassandra turned red as a tomato and I swear on my life, Boss, squealed like a tea kettle. I thought she was going to explode!"

She lifted her head with a perplexed look. "Wait, what?"

"I promise you! I thought I was going to die, it was so funny!"

"She squealed?"

"Like a little girl." He crossed his arms in an attempt to impress.

She smiled to herself.

"She likes you too, so why haven't you made a move?"

"I- didn't know." She admitted.

"Well now you do, so get a bloody move on." He motioned her to stand and nearly pushed the qunari the entire way there, despite her towering size.

"I dont know what to do!"

"Improvise, make a fool of yourself and get her to laugh, you seem to be good at that."

"That was uncalled for."

He shrugged.

She was standing in front of the door to Cassandra's quarters. When she turned around to look for the dwarf's guidance, it was apparent he had fled. "Damn dwarf." She muttered.

The door opened and she stood eyes wide, looking like a deer in headlights.

"What did he do now?" Cassandra asked.

"I.. uh, nothing! He did nothing."

"It doesn't sound like nothing." The seeker leaned against her door.

"Well, yeah." She cleared her throat. "So..."

"You think I'm adorable?" Cassandra cut her off.

"Did I say that? Psh I never-" She looked at Cassandra.

Her eyes drifted to the ground, disappointed.

"Ok, yes. I said you were adorable and I meant it, because you're adorable. But you see, I had not meant to be intrusive or like in any way invasive, so if I crossed a line and you're uncomfortable then I'm so incredibly sorry, and you can always-"

Cassandra was flashing a gaping smile. "Thank you. And do you ever shut up?"

She scoffed. "Probably not..."

"I will meet you at the tavern for drinks tonight." She shut the door, leaving the petrified Inquisitor there alone.

"YES!" She celebrated to herself, punching through the air. Thankfully no one was there to witness it, and she could go wait impatiently for nightfall.
