Ah! I saw you also write for dragon age!!! That's my favorite game! Okay so if you can and it's not too much trouble..could you do dragon age inquisition companions (and maybe the advisors) who secretly love the Inquisitor but gets a little jealous when someone asks the Inquisitor on a date? If you can? Either way thank you! 🌷🩷
Such a cute ask! Thank you so much!
Note: Only Dorian and Seras reaction is gender specific, the rest is gender neutral.
Dragon Age Inquisition Companions (+Advisors) secretly love the Inquisitor and get jealous when someone asks the Inquisitor out.
Blackwall is a yearner from afar. Observing the Inquisitor was something he is used to doing, anything to help him overthink less for the day he finds the courage to court them. He thinks it's obvious what he's doing. Leaving wooden gifts, maybe flowers from a secret admirer. He is very quiet about his love for the Inquisitor, especially since they aren't together…yet. He just isn't the type to be loud about his crush. So this makes things complicated when someone else asks the Inquisitor on a date. He gets jealous, even if the Inquisitor turns the person down because he had not yet found the courage to ask the Inquisitor out when this other person could. If the Inquisitor says no, he will find them towards the end of the day, talking about how it's no wonder why someone would ask the Inquisitor out and he will admit he was jealous of the person's confidence, taking this moment to confess to the Inquisitor. If the Inquisitor said yes he would try to find them before they got ready for the date to make sure this is what they really wanted, its selfish but he wants them to know he does have a love for them, he isn't the type to get in the way, but he doesn't want to think about how he was too late. Either way, a confession of his love for the inquisitor comes out, and he hopes they take it well, and he would take them on a date of their own.
Cassandra gets very flustered by the sudden jealous feeling. Like Blackwall, her jealousy stems from the fact that she didn't ask them out first. She tries to reason with herself as to why she didn't sooner, that it would be inappropriate, that she's too busy, but all this reasoning doesn't stop her from walking over, interrupting, pretending something more important calls for the Inquisitor's attention right now. Like right now. She'd lead them away and attempt to make something up. It is noticeable how flustered she is, as she isn't the type to usually lie or seek attention like this. If the Inquisitor doesn't call her out on this, later that day she would actually admit it, feeling guilty. She would explain why she interrupted the pair, that she realized how much she wanted the Inquisitor, and how little time they had for her to just stare and pretend she wasn't in love.
Dorian would eavesdrop, and be very upset with this news. Of course, no one would be able to tell why he is upset. He's used to longing for men back home in Tevinter without ever saying a word. He's used to the man he loves being swept away by someone else. But he didn't think he'd have to get used to it here. He doesn't move to interrupt, or to sabotage the date, he does his best to remind himself that's just how life goes. He gives the Inquisitor a little bit of the cold shoulder, not his usual happy self. However, Dorian isnt all that subtle. He might make a jab, go on back to your date. If the Inquisitor did go on the date and is planning on seeing this person more, he would just have to sigh and force himself to let go, as much as he can, and genuinely wish that the pair is happy. If the Inquisitor did not go on said date, he immediately brightens up. Oh? This is perfect news. He won't confess then and there, but he makes plans to wow the Inquisitor, now that he has his chance to really make an impression. This isn't Tevinter after all.
What he's felt for the Inquisitor, is a bit of a new feeling. Beyond attraction physically, he is drawn to their mentality. The way he starts his relationship with the Inquisitor is through their physical attraction, but when someone else takes a different approach and asks the Inquisitor out on a date, he does get jealous, especially if the Inquisitor seemed flustered. He never is the type to get jealous like this. He hadn't really ever had to in terms of relationships. He won't interrupt, that just wouldn't be right. But he would call the Inquisitor over for a drink, but he wouldn't take a sip until after a good conversation with the inquisitor. He tells them that he overheard it, and he was wondering if that's what the Inquisitor really wanted, because it's not their only choice. He would respect their decision no matter what, but he strongly implies his own feelings, and desires. Inquisitor had stolen his heart, they'll live with him stealing their date.
She had been indecisive about how she wanted to approach the Inquisitor, not wanting it to be too casual but not too grandiose. She had been lingering by the Inquisitor as she is such a pretty sight, but it gets sore when someone else enters the picture to ask out the Inquisitor. She didn't have the time to get too jealous from her need to act fast. While there's space between the Inquisitor and the other person, she sabotages the attempt, shooting an arrow in between them, urgently waving the Inquisitor back to her for something “important.” When she approaches Sera, she seems hopeful. She would tell the Inquisitor to follow her, maybe a prank, maybe a series of pranks before she has the Inquisitor back to her spot in the tavern comfortable and relaxed, then tell her that the real important thing, was that she loved them, and she can't let them go.
His jealousy is quiet as he overhears the Inquisitor being asked out. He would listen carefully as the person asks the Inquisitor out because while it may not be what he wants, what they want is more important to him. He would speak to the Inquisitor, saying that it's important to him that they are certain, and careful, because they deserve nothing if not the best. He does his best to not get too much in the way of this but he can't help but at least say that. If the Inquisitor denies the date, he can't help but smile, even happily telling the Inquisitor he thinks they did a good thing, that they deserve someone better, and he does try to be that person. Now that the Inquisitor is free, he invites them to go with him, starting slow, with more frequent visits, sometimes even intentionally being public with his walks around Skyhold so people think they are together. If the Inquisitor had agreed however, he would watch the date, see everything he considers to be a flaw, and create an event much better and more personal to the Inquisitors in hopes to show up a little more, and woo them. He wouldn't let his intention show, it could be a moment between friends, he just wants the Inquisitor to have something good, something true, even if it's not with him romantically. Though he'll struggle to move on.
It's unexpected, this feeling of jealousy. He hasn't felt something like this in a long time, and it makes himself laugh at feeling like a jealous teenager. He's been late before, of course. It takes him quite a bit to open up, emotionally, and romantically. He can flirt of course, he can joke, he can do everything but be on time it seems. But these things shouldn't be rushed. He would look out for the Inquisitor, hoping this person is the best for them, and he'll share that, but he wont go too deep into why. If the Inquisitor did not accept the date, he is relieved, and will work towards getting to know them better, so that it becomes easier to flirt back and forth, and things become genuine.
If requested I will write hers, until then she remains true to the canon story of her staying faithful to Duke Bastien de Ghislain, honoring their long relationship even after death.
Cullen watches the scene unfold before him, not subtle at all. Cheeks flushed, and bothered by the fact he was too late, or so he thinks. He beats himself up about it a little, that he couldn't approach the person he loves because it was never the right time. How could he be so foolish? Of course other people have recognized how incredible the Inquisitor is. Without even knowing if the Inquisitor is going to accept, he'll find them later in the day and blurt out. “Dont go!” He'll be embarrassed, but now that he's started, he can't stop. He would back track a little, that they of course can go but he was dying to say this. He rambles, feeling incredibly selfish, but he knows he'll sleep better if the Inquisitor at least knows how he truly feels about them. He apologizes once he's done rambling, stiff as a board, but he would relax as the Inquisitor talks to him, no matter what they said to the date offer. If they said no he feels more embarrassed to have rushed his confession in panic, but he'll make it up to them.
Leliana is different from the other companions. The Inquisitor has a special spot in her mind and heart, so anything they do, she knows. She does her best to not overstep both as a friend and an advisor, but she couldn't help herself when she heard of someone else wanting to ask the Inquisitor out. As she catches wind of this, she realizes this can't be done, not if she can help it. She doesn't acknowledge the jealousy as it is, she thinks she's being protective. She does her best to set up time for the Inquisitor to meet her one night, and makes the request that they can be just Leliana and them, not Inquisitor and Advisor. The other person doesn't even get the chance to disrupt their plans alone.
She feels a little ashamed when she hears someone ask the Inquisitor out and her first feelings are jealousy. She doesn't mean to feel so attached to the Inquisitor, but she can't help who she loves. She learns more about the person who asked her out, mostly at a personal request to Leliana. She did not wait to hear what the Inquisitor's response was, already upset. It causes her to be a little distracted as she works, too worked up on something that doesn't affect her, but in a way it does. The Inquisitor is bound to notice, and when they ask she admits she has been distracted, for them. She just wants them to be happy at her core, but she won't lie, she always thought it might be with her. Maybe if she wasn't so busy, she could have made it obvious. The Inquisitor can then choose to tell her that they accepted the date and she will say she wishes them all the best, or that they denied the date, and she would light up a little, saying she's sorry it didn't work out, meanwhile she plans for the day she asks them to join her somewhere private.
