i don't know what if dorian & bull had an anniversary?
Dorian places a small package in the Bull's lap. It's wrapped neatly in a soft white fabric with a simple pink string knotted at the top keeping it together.
The Bull sets his waterskin down. "What's this?"
The mage is obviously a little nervous about his gift. His stance tense and hands held behind his back to keep his distance despite the soft smile on his lips. He leans down and places a quick kiss to the Bull's cheek.
"I remembered you enjoying those chocolates at the Winter Palace."
The Bull's eye goes large as he looks down at the box. "You didn't."
Dorian's smile threatens to widen as he watches the Bull's excited response. His shoulders loosen and he quirks his head to the side. "Would I tease your insatiable sweet tooth? Open it and see."
The Bull touches his gift, his fingers gentle against the delicate wrappings. He's almost hesitant to open it even for the treats held inside. "What's it for?"
This sends a flush to Dorian's cheeks as he clears his throat and looks at his feet. "Must there be a reason?" The Bull looks up at him and it prompts Dorian to clear his throat again. "Fine. The custom may not mean anything to you, being a Qunari, but in Tevinter we... we commemorate anniversaries with gifts."
"Of us," Dorian says quietly. He sits down next to the Bull to keep himself from shifting from foot to foot. "A year. It's been a year since we met. Since the first time we laid eyes on each other."
"And I called you the worst."
"Also pretty. Don't forget that part."
The Bull chuckles and nudges Dorian with his shoulder. "Never." Their tones are light but the Bull doesn't miss the meaning behind Dorian's gift and words. He frowns momentarily. "I didn't know -- I didn't get you anything."
Dorian taps the top of the box cradled on the Bull's lap. "Please. Open it, I want to feed you chocolates then have my way with you."
The Bull smirks and pulls the two ends of the knot with his fingers and it comes undone smoothly. "Should have known this was a bribe."
Dorian snorts then he kisses the Bull's shoulder, watching as the Bull pulls back the fabric wrapping to reveal a gold colored box. It twinkles and shines under the room's light. The Bull pulls the top off and Dorian reaches in and takes one of the neatly laid out candies. Between his thumb and forefinger he lifts it to the Bull's lips with a deliberate slowness.
The Bull doesn't watch the journey of the chocolate but instead he watches Dorian's face. Dorian's eyes were on the Bull's mouth as he opens it. He could easily take the treat in one bite. He could take a few of them in one bite. But he intentionally bites gently down half way through it, his lips slipping across Dorian's fingers as he does so. He keeps it there near the Bull's mouth until the Bull takes the rest of it. Dorian's fingers sliding against the Bull's tongue and lips.
"Mmm," The Bull rumbles, grinning at Dorian as he chews the chocolate. "I think it needs something though."
"What would that be?" Dorian asks.
The Bull leans over to kiss Dorian, licking across Dorian's lips. Dorian sighs against him, deepening the kiss, and tastes the chocolate on the Bull's tongue. The Bull moves the box off his lap so he doesn't squish or spill it as he turns to press closer to Dorian, pulling him into his lap instead.
"Happy anniversary, you oaf," Dorian presses his forehead against the Bull's.
The Bull runs fingers across Dorian's cheek. "Love you too, kadan."
