A Meme, Probably || accepting if u wanna go find it
❛ oh, for the love of the maker please don’t, ❜ krem groans, covering his eyes with one hand ( just in case the idiot decides to do it anyway ). ❛ no one needs to see that, i promise. no one needs to be INSPIRED, either. ❜ it seems, much to krem’s chagrin, that dorian has tired of this– this– WHATEVER it is. this dancing around each other, krem distressingly awkward, dorian distressingly smooth.
slowly– cautiously– he peeks through his fingers.
❛ is this where we talk about things?? ❜

the book shows up on krem’s bunk one day, no note attached to signify the giver, but he knows. the rest of the boys tease, rib him about the ❛ lady he must be courting. ❜ krem snaps back at them to mind their own business, which only spurs them on. so he snags the book and retreats to the garden.
❛ my father used to tell me all sorts of tales when i was young. wish i could remember them. ❜
fingers trail over the cover of the book, feeling each crack in the leather. what the fuck does dorian think he’s doing, giving a gift like this?? to someone like krem, no less. he doesn’t GET gifts like this. valuable things. things with little other use than to entertain. what even is he supposed to DO with it?? he can’t take something like this with him on missions, something so easy to lose or destroy.
it’s only when something drips down the side of his face that he realizes his eyes burn with tears. he dashes them away roughly, angrily. drops his chin and hugs the book to his chest.

❛ good, ❜ iron bull rumbles, glancing at dorian out of the corner of his eye. ❛ i pride myself on being incredibly difficult to deal with. ❜ the way dorian says it– there isn’t the same antagonistic lilt as when they began this mad journey to save the world. does that mean–?? his lips twitch up at the edges but he doesn’t add anything else. just turns his head slightly to look dorian a little more full on.

❛ dorian!! ❜ the word echos in the library as the iron bull strides through it, looking unconcerned as someone shoots him a scandalized look. ❛ dorian, we’re going to get drinks, come on. put the book down. we need to talk. ❜ perhaps not the BEST way to start a conversation but bull doesn’t have time to make dorian comfortable. there’s a war on, for fucks sake.
❛ just friendly conversation, i swear. ❜ he says as he finally comes to a stop near the man in question. grinning, he leans against the nearest bookshelf. ❛ i’ll even consider buying your drinks. ❜

it takes several weeks for krem to find the library. they’re keeping him on his toes here. and, well, he’s not exactly LOOKING for it. he has more important things to do than dig around in dusty tomes for information he probably can’t even use. but once he finds it, tucked in a tower off the main hall, he has to admit it’s nice. cozy.
krem wanders from shelf to shelf, fingers trailing over the spines. part of him wants to pull one down, to flip through it and see what secrets it holds. the more rational part reminds him that it would take him weeks to even get through one of these things. so he resists the urge.
movement in a nearby alcove catches his eye and he peers over. his lips quirk to the side as he catches sight of the man intently pouring over a large tome. dorian pavus. the mage. the TEVINTER mage. an altus. one of the inquisitor’s close companions. krem has, since finding out about the other’s presence at skyhold, delicately managed to avoid coming in contact with him. an altus. maker knows he’s probably an arrogant tit.
but now, watching him read intently in the flickering candlelight– krem can’t help his curiosity. striding forward, he stops just in front of the other man and waits until he looks up.
❛ you’re dorian, yeah?? ❜ he asks with a jerk of his chin. ❛ the tevinter mage?? ❜
