    Summary

    "Why -" he gestures expansively towards Jaskier, his lute, the forest around them, his swords now strapped to Roach "- are you doing this?"

    A bard seeking fortune wouldn't watch Geralt across the fire with eyes half-full of tears that he didn't bother to blink away. An artist looking for a muse wouldn't press close, desperately close, against Geralt's side until he finally gave in and turned his head. A young man after a quick fuck wouldn't grip Geralt to him hard enough to bruise even a witcher.

    The way Jaskier looks at Geralt makes him think he should know the answer already, but he doesn't, he doesn't.

    "Because I know you," he says at last. "Because I have known you. Because I will know you. Isn't that enough?"

    (One day, Geralt will understand that it was the closest thing Jaskier will ever have to a goodbye, and it's enough, it's enough.)

    Summary

    “What’s that?” Geralt asks.

    Jaskier blinks. “It’s a tattoo,” he says. “Have you never seen a tattoo before, Geralt?”

    Geralt fights the urge to roll his eyes. “I know it’s a tattoo,” he says. “What’s it a tattoo of?”

    Summary

    “I told you to stay with-” he begins. The rest of the words dry up in his throat when he finds that the curse hadn’t entirely missed, after all. Jaskier is leaning heavily against a tree, clutching his chest with the arm he’s not using to support himself.

    “Geralt?” Jaskier says. There’s a tremor to his voice that sets Geralt’s teeth on edge. Everything in him screams that it’s fundamentally wrong for Jaskier to sound like this. Jaskier shouldn’t be afraid. He shouldn’t be hurting.

    “He cursed you,” Geralt says, even as a part of him hopes that he’s wrong.

    “No, really,” Jaskier says. He slides down the tree a little as he speaks. “Here I thought this was normal.”

    ***
    Jaskier gets cursed: either "the one he loves" returns his feelings, and kisses him, or he dies painfully.
    Geralt just wants to know why Jaskier won't tell him who he's in love with.
