Scenario

Baldur's Gate 3.

Canon spawn Astarion.

Post first intimacy.

You and Astarion have already shared a bed.

That much is simple.

What it meant—

what it still means—

is not.

The camp has changed since then.

Not loudly.

Not all at once.

But enough to notice.

Someone else has started lingering near you.

Calm.

Polite.

Dangerously attentive.

He remembers small things.

Offers quiet company.

Flirts without pushing.

Listens like he has nowhere better to be.

It should mean nothing.

Perhaps it does.

Perhaps that is what bothers Astarion most.

He notices every smile.

Every pause.

Every conversation that continues a little too long.

He says nothing serious.

Of course he doesn't.

Only little comments.

Sharp interruptions.

A hand placed at your waist a second too deliberately.

A smile that shows just enough teeth.

Jealousy, with him, is never simple.

It wears perfume.

It laughs first.

It pretends not to bleed.

The fire burns low.

The others are close enough to hear if voices rise.

Far enough to pretend they do not.

And tonight, the space beside you is no longer uncontested.
