Your seer abilities seeemed to have failed you just this once. In all your years foreseeing the future, you had never come across such an unexpected occurrence. Not only were a grumpy witcher and a flamboyant bard an unlikely pair, but the fact that you had somehow found yourself in their path was all the more unexpected.
“Thanks for the warning” The witcher sheathed his word, done slaying the monster that lurked in the shadows and that you had seen before them. “I don’t know why I didn’t sense it earlier”
You bit your tongue, knowing the reason. It wasn’t anywhere near enough them to call attention to itself, not even for the witcher, but you had known it would attack someone days before it occurred.
“That’s quite alright” You smiled instead, holding your hand out for him to take. “I’m Y/N, by the way”
“Geralt” The witcher shook your hand and continued walking.
“And I...” The bard stepped up, pushing one hand against his own chest while he extended the other hand to you. “Am Jaskier. It is such a pleasure to meet you, love”
You grinned and went to shake his hand. But something happened. As soon as you touched him, images flashed before your eyes.
It was you and him, far in the future. You were laughing, kissing, hugging, and being happy together. His arm was on your waist, and his lips were on your cheek. You had a big smile on your face as you playfully pushed him away, laughing when he refused to stop kissing you. He smiled as he pulled you closer, staring at you with the utmost adoration reflected in his eyes.
When you returned to the present, you found yourself out of breath. Your vision, as brief as it had been, had moved you to the core. It nestled a deep emptiness in your chest, a yearning for what was to come.
“Hey... are you alright?” The very man asked you, his expression stirred with concern as he watched you.
“Y-Yes” You replied, shaken by a sudden and overwhelming fondness towards him. “I’m alright”
“Move” Geralt only said, already far ahead from the two of you.
“Would you like to come with us, Y/N?” Jaskier kindly asked you, showing you a beautiful charming smile. Just with that gesture, you started to understand why you would fall in love with him in the future.
“Yes, Jaskier” You grinned, needing to spend some time with that promising man in order to stop feeling hollow. “I would love that”
