@heshieldsā asked:Ā ātouch on a falling tear - for dorianā
Heās sitting at the edge of his bed, feet bare touching the carpet. Itās been this way for a while, having returned from Redcliffe and telling the Inquisitor he needs some time. Alone. Blackwall had entered his room, asking, wondering why Dorian appears so somber.
My father was there. Waiting for me.
Ā Silence, a hand on the small of his back. Itās comforting, in a sense, to know someone cares - even if this is new. Even if Dorian is uncertain of any future to be had, Blackwall is here, large and strong and so considerate it makes him sick; I donāt deserve this, he thinks, almost utters the self-deprecating words. āHe tried to change me.ā Dorian whispers, and leans against Blackwallās shoulder, tears blemishing his fine features. A calloused pad of a finger on his cheek, wiping the tear away, soft and caring in a way one doesnāt expect a warrior like Blackwall to be.
Ā āPlease - I donāt, I donāt deserve any of this.ā Dorian mutters, and a sob is there in his throat, panic in his chest, and itās all too much. He breaks down, cries in the crook of his loverās neck, and for once he allows himself to be held, for how long, he doesnāt know. Itās more than enough.
