#chubby!inquisitor

“Well, I...”

“He looked at you in that way for so long, idiot! You know, dreamy eyes, blushing cheeks, all the show.” the elf pointed loduly, slapping Demetra’s back “Believe me, he’s thinking about fucking you... I bet he’s quite hard and...”

Demetra put a hand on her friend’s mouth “Sera, please. We’re trying to keep this thing discreet! And don’t use a term like that!”

“What, “fuck” or “hard”? However, you two morons kissed one another on the battlements. I think you’ll be not much more discrete when the sex-time will come.”.

Demetra sighed, knowing that was a lost battle. Plus, Sera was partially right. Kisses on the battlements weren’t helping their wish to be left alone. Another sentece, however, was now fixed in her mind “Sera,” the Inquisitor asked cautiously “no offense, but I know that I’ll regret this question...”

“Then don’t question me, Quizzie.”

“But I need to now!” the woman said eagerly “What do you mean that Cullen looked at me in... a certain way for a long time? We really started to... ehm... interact in a way different from friendship after our arrival at Skyhold. So, no more than a month ago.”.

Sera frowned “Oh, you’re so fucking naive! I think he wanted you like... since your first meeting? Well, maybe the second, he probably thought that you was a crazy fanatic who distroyed the Conclave. But, ehi, if you want to speak about shit like “feelings” or similar bullshits, search someone else. All that I know is that Cully Pretty Hair was looking at you as... don’t know... as he wanted to eat you, but in good way. Not just like fucking. He was really looking at you. And listening. He... cared for you. When I arrived to Haven with you, I thought that you two were yet lovers, okay?”

“I don’t think he liked me at that time. Not in that way. He was so... professional. Stern, sometimes, even after we started to be friends.”

“Oh, Andraste’s flaming pants! Look, I think that Cully Wully is okay with the sex, but... don’t know, not so okay with the feelings. Probably he is more virgin than you, about relationships. But it’s okay now, right? You can teach him about love, unicorns and corny things and he can teach you about horny things!”

“Sera, enough! And why do you think that I’m a virgin?”.

The young elven woman snorted “C’mon, it’s so obvious! You don’t seem the type who just want a quick round of sex. I bet you like serious  things, complicated as you are.”

“Well, I don’t know. I mean... I didn’t have something like this, before I became the Herald. I’m too... I know that I’m different and not all the men like women as I am.”

“If that is true, they’re morons. I think you are sexy, Quizzie! All curves and...”

“Maybe a little too much curves?” Demetra tried poorly to joke. Sera grunted “Curves aren’t never too much. Ever! Stop being so scared about you, Woman with the Biggest Breast in Skyhold.”.

Demetra blushed and grabbed another biscuit - too salty - , trying to ignore her laughing, adorably crazy friend. Sera was so right, confirming her thoughts about Cullen’s inexperience with feelings. It didn’t sound bad, not to be the only one who was moving in a new area, because she could understand so well all Cullen’s fears. They matched one another. And Sera could be right, a little at least, about her body. Surely, Cullen seemed appreciating what he saw.

Maybe she could try to appreciate more the view her too, couldn’t she?

Who would have thought that Sera could be so helpful in love’s matters?

“Thanks, Sera.”

Inquisitorlooked at her sadly, behind the legs of his owner “And you, out ofhere! Now!” she ordered, pointing the door. The Mabari obeyedquickly, with a soft whine that could easily be an apoligize.

Demetrapinched her nose, fighting for calming her nerves and shut her eyesfor avoiding to contemplate the scrape that some hours ago was theirbedroom.

“I’msorry for this mess.” Cullen tried to speak, but his wife didn’tlisten, too occupied to scolding him as if he was an unruly recruit“I mean, I love that you love that dog. I love him too, to behonest.”.

It wasn’ta good sign if she called Inquisitor “dog”, her husband knew it.She continued “But this doesn’t mean that you can spoil him. Not ifI am the one who have to remedy to his naughtiness.”

Cullenlooked at her, no more amusing in his voice “This is unfair. Ialways helped you, but  Mabari are… free – spirited animals. He’sjust marking his new territory.”

“Ourbedroom is not his new territory!” Demetra shouted. She was nowmelting in the extremely moisture summer day and both of them werestill wet, after the suddenly cloudburst that had surprised them afootstep away from home. She wanted a cold bath and cuddles on thecouch. But clearly now the mood was gone.

Cullenslightly tightening his jaw “If only you’d settle down, I could…”

“I don’twant to settle down!” she snapped, clenching her teeth for thesudden pang of pain in her back. Blessed Andraste, why she proposedto reach the market walking? And why he agreed?!

Cullen’seyes darkened “Well, I assure you that I can actually see it verywell, Demetra.”

“Oh,sorry if I’m angry discovering that our bedroom is completelydestroyed after a long day away from home.”.

Cullenrolled his eyes “It’s just a little dirty. And I’ll tidy up alone,it’s not a problem. You can go downstairs and rest for a little.After all, this was the project before we found this thing, right?”.

Despitehis annoyance for her shouting – he really didn’t like shoutingpeople – his offer was sincere. He seemed to have something more tosay, his eyes lingering for a little on her, but seeing her frownedface, Cullen shook his head and repeated “It’ll take only a moment.Go downstairs.”.

He turnedhis back from her and started to pick up a cover from the floor.Demetra stared his frame, nibbing her lower lips. She was stillangry. But her husband was right.

It wasn’ta disaster, after all, just a little mud and one or two pillowsruined. And Demetra knew that was unfair accusing him to not helpher.

He alwayshelped. And Inquisitor wouldn’t repeat the venture, after Cullen’sspeech.

She wasjust flushed and tired, because sleeping was hard during that warmnights and she just wanted to…

Before shecould really think about this, Demetra was hugging Cullen frombehind, pressing her face in his strapping back “ ’m orry.”.

Her wordswere muffled, but he didn’t hesitate to grab her hands, his body nowrelaxed “It’s okay, don’t worry. You’re tired and… you’re right.I’m spoiling Inquisitor.”

“You do.But you too are right. It’s a new house for all of us. And it’s not abig mess, after all. And you never let me alone to fix the damages.”she said, while his love was turning in her arms for facing her.Tenderly, his hands stroked her cheeks “I was serious, you needrest.”. They kissed slowly, tasting their lips and holding one toeach other.

Shesmiled, kissing lightly his scar “I want to help you. We’ll finishhere, you’ll speak with Inquisitor and after that we’ll resttogether. All three of us. Just… on the sofa, ok?”.

He laughed“It’s an excellent plan, Your Worship.”

“Stopteasing me, Commander. And start the work, I have to say sorry tosomeone begore enjoying you.”she smiled, leaving their bedroom and calling the Mabari.
