[ There's value in exploring the pleasure that he'd had rather violently taken from him, but there's something to be said about experiencing gentle touch for the sake of touch, too. Before Iorveth, he'd never had cause to believe that someone would want to touch him in order to make him happy, or to express affection for him. Touch always had an ulterior motive, he'd thought, and everyone else was just foolish for thinking otherwise.
He's addicted to it now. Iorveth's warm hand in his, his soft lips against Astarion's, his body curled around his. He remembers being so surprised the first time Iorveth had kissed him back; he'd expected Iorveth's kiss to be as harsh as him, but it had been light, shockingly sweet given Iorveth's rather sour personality. He talks of being ruined, but in the end, it's him who ruined Astarion for all others. In all of his most wildest fantasies, he never could have imagined someone touching him gently and speaking to him softly the way that Iorveth does. ]
My hero.
[ Really. It's the greatest gift anyone could ever give him. Iorveth is an idiot for putting himself through hell to get it, though. ]
But until the time comes that you can follow through on that one, I wouldn't say no to a few compliments.
