That's Dr. Dr. Nivan Soroiu, he works at the forensics of Scis paranormal subject group at the NYPD. He's very clever, borderline autistic and the only one he actually likes having around is Sci, cause he cares for him like a big brother. Sci brings him protein bars cause he is way too thin x3

Several months after defeating the Netherbrain, Astarion and Nivan are out adventuring, searching for a way to let Astarion walk in the sun again, and one of Nivan’s nicer shirts that he actually cares about gets ripped and he’s visibly a little miffed about it, but not enough to make a scene or anything, and Astarion is just quietly 👀 about it, but waits until Nivan is very VERY asleep to get the garment and start repairing it. And then we have:

Astarion: * smiling stupidly to himself feeling sneaky and enjoying feeling useful and doing something nice for someone he cares about *

Astarion: * realizes about half way through the job what he’s doing * … … …

Astarion: * storms into their bedroom and throws the shirt at Nivan’s head * You tricked me!!

Nivan: * momentarily panicking before realizing the thing he’s been attacked with is a shirt, still mostly asleep * I… Okay. Which crime am I answering for this time?

Astarion: You’ve gone and bloody well domesticated me! ME! I was willingly doing chores! Without being asked! Ugh, I think I’m going to be ill.

Nivan: * looks down at the partially repaired clothing in his hands * 🤨 You… don’t have to sew my things for me? I can just do it myself.

Astarion: * snatches the shirt back* Don’t be ridiculous, you’re terrible at sewing. I refuse to be seen with you if you’re going to walk around looking like you can’t even afford a decent tailor.

Nivan: *sleepy but grinning like a cat that got the cream* Aw, you spoil me too much, Twinkle. Next you’ll be waking me up with breakfast in bed.

Astarion: Only if you want me to throw that at your head, too.

Nivan: I’m going to wear that shirt every day, and tell everyone we meet that my wonderful, loving partner mended it for me. 😘

Astarion: * stomping back out the door * I’ll repair your dammed shirt, if only to have something decent to bury you in after I kill you.

Nivan: *calling after him* Thank you, love!

I don't know where it fits into the timeline of their relationship yet (possibly act 2 before things get Serious and they take a sex break) but I NEED some sort of slightly tipsy Nivan bragging about his bedroom skills and saying something along the lines of "If you wanted I could take you so sweet and slow that you'd just fall to pieces with my cock inside you."

And Astarion is Suffering from a case of Why Do I Have Feelings for This Idiot and just, "That's nice darling, but I don't think you're equipped for that."

Nivan, offended and stubborn,"What? Yes, I am!"

Astarion, completely stone-faced and within hearing range of everyone else in the party, "Darling, I've had my tongue in your cunt."

*cue various unhappy groanings and spit-takes*

I think we deserve

A soft epilogue, my love

We're good people
