After a year of knowing Viktor simply as a friend and a work partner, all it takes is seeing him with someone else for Jayce's platonic feelings to become... decidedly not platonic.
And the more time Viktor spends with the guy, the more Jayce wants to keep him all to himself.Series

Summary
After Gale accused Astarion of cheating at cards, the rogue picked up an interest in learning lanceboard to challenge the wizard at his game of preference. To sweeten the deal and make things more interesting, the two have agreed that the victor wins a favor from the loser.
The quiet, slow deliberateness made in each move by Gale was gone now. Astarion had fallen into the wizard's trap and he was starting to see there would be no way out of it. All of the vampire's moves would be made out of a desperate clumsy attempt to protect his king and prolong its downfall. "Razor's Edge to queen's bishop two."
He continued his oration as he reached over, an index finger resting on a pawn. "Because sometimes, that small victory is enough to give them the momentum to keep going forward. The resolve of man to survive against all odds – fascinating, wouldn't you agree?" He moved the pawn diagonal, replacing Astarion's pawn with his own, inching ever so closer to the black side of the board. Once more, his bishop had a clear shot to his Cyric. "Pawn to queen's knight seven. Check."

Summary
His scent confused Astarion. Ever since the wizard was pulled from the portal and became a traveling companion, the one glaring fact about Gale was that the scent did not match his personality. Surely Gale wasn’t really an alpha.
