Summary
“You didn’t have to sleep with him,” Gale cuts him off. His jaw is clenched and he sways. He isn’t sure what else he wants to say, if he wants to give Astarion time to say anything. But soon more words fill his head and he can’t help it if his tongue puts a voice to them.
“I know we weren’t exactly lovers, but we were something. You were something to me, at least. I really liked you, Astarion. I thought you liked me too. I understand if maybe I misjudged or…”

Summary
It had been ages but Astarion could still remember how Karsus looked, his warm brown hair and honeyed doe eyes. He was focused, he was arrogant, his ambition shone vibrant and blinding like the sun—and it was the curse of the vampire to be helplessly drawn to it.
But here he was again, shiny and new, smiling at him, folding the ages they had been apart neatly underneath him as if his death had been a pause rather than an end. He looked so beautiful under the sun.
That is, until-
"Hello! I'm Gale of Waterdeep."

Summary
Astarion's willing to serve as a fun little distraction from his lost love. Gale certainly doesn't have enough room in his heart, consumed by his Goddess and ex-lover, so any attachments will be fleeting, which serves his purpose perfectly. Once the tadpole’s removed, Astarion won’t have need for him anymore, and he’s not at risk of causing any upset when he leaves.
For Astarion, Gale's something like an armour. With a powerful wizard on his side, he doesn't need to constantly look over his shoulder, terrified of whatever lurks in the darkness. He needn't remain vigilant in camp, either; not when he's wrangled such a well-liked, respected defender.
So – Gale gets a temporary distraction, and Astarion gets protection. It's a sensible trade, and it doesn't hurt that Gale’s easy on the eyes.
