stay with me (don't let me go)

There is an elven man he sees around taverns sometimes. His eyes are hollow, his cheeks sunken in. He looks tired and far skinnier than any man should be. He is always flirting with someone new every time he sees him, but something in his strangely colored eyes tells him his heart isn't in it. Wyll can't help but wonder what his story is. If there isn't anything he could do to help.

Or: Wyll meets Astarion even without the Nautiloid bringing them together. He doesn't realize he loves him until it's too late.
