Work Text:
Tav and Astarion had begun their relationship back in the days of the absolute - the constant fight between life and death caused them to fall fast and hard. That went for the friendships too, over the short amount of time the party were together they learnt of each others deepest secrets and most harrowing fears. That being said, there were friends that kept in touch more than others. Though the trip wasn't a quick one from Baldur's Gate, Tav and Astarion regularly visited Gale - it was much to everyone's surprise when Astarion casually admitted how he cared for Gale of all people and that his constant digs were what he thought was clearly affection. Either way, Gale was delighted to hear it, not wanting to reveal the fondness he had for the vampire.
Tav and Gale were a different story. It was no secret how they briefly explored their relationship in more than friendly ways before Tav fell for Astarion. Tav was the one to cut it off, not wanting to feel like she was competing with a God for a man. Gale never fully got over losing Tav, but he would be damned to let his feelings get in the way of his friendship with her or Astarion.
Their next visit to Waterdeep was in a couple weeks, which they discussed over drinks. It didn't take too much wine before they started discussing the wizard with far more affection than they should have. This is where they realised they both might be interested in something a bit more with him. They would start small, see how he responded, before going deeper and eventually asking him if he would be open to exploring this with them, which they were sure he would be at least intrigued, judging by the way he looked at the pair when they were together.
"One more thing before we settle on this," Astarion says. "Our relationship comes first no matter what. I might be willing to introduce him to our dynamic occasionally but I will not let him get in the way."
"Of course not, love."
"And if he agrees, I think its only fair we make sure he doesn't feel like the spare part - we should give him the attention he deserves."
"I couldn't agree more." So it was decided.
-----
Two weeks later they sat in a tavern in Waterdeep, Tav on the inside of a booth with Gale next to her and Astarion sat across from them both. The wizard told them of stories of his recent research and his foraging for rare herbs for his alchemy.
"Work, work, work Gale. Don't you get up to anything else?" Astarion asked with a smirk.
"Yes, Gale. Anything or anyone in your life right now?" Tav continued, emphasising the 'anyone.'
Gale chuckled. "I'm afraid it's just been me and Tara, as usual."
"Oh Gale, that sounds awfully lonely." Tav stated, softly running a hand through his hair.
Astarion moved so he was on Gales other side, placing a hand on his thigh. "You must be pretty... pent up."
The sudden change in dynamic sent a rush of blood to the wizard's cheeks and he cleared his throat.
"I- uh- heh- suppose I haven't really thought about it."
"You're looking rather feverish, wizard, what say we take you back to your tower and take care of you." The words were laced with suggestion and were most certainly not the subtlety that had been agreed on - but did Tav truly expect Astarion to be subtle about this.
It was clear Gale understood the unspoken request, but as he looked each of them in the eye his doubt was also clear.
"I think that's a good idea."
Once they get back they settle on the sofa in the same formation as before with Gale settled in the middle. He had brought over and opened a new bottle of red which they had each almost finished their share of. They had been talking as normal, almost as if the events of the tavern were forgotten, until Astarion caught Tav's eye, in which she easily recognised the dark lust behind.
"So. This catch up is wonderful, it's always such a pleasure to see you." Tav uttered, rather close to Gale's ear, her hand beginning to traverse his torso.
"Indeed we do get rather excited to see you." Astarion joined, placing his hand on top of Tav's, resting it on Gale.
"Okay, I'm going to have to ask what exactly is going on here?" Gale finally broke the ice.
"I thought you were the smart one, wizard." Astarion taunts.
"I'm not oblivious to what you're doing I just- I need you to say it, before I make a fool of myself."
"We've both been thinking about you and we want to know if you'd like to explore something more with us, something more than this friendship." Tav tried to comfort him.
"Of course it's completely down to you." Astarion said softly.
"So Gale," Tav spoke again. "Are we on the same page here?" She began nibbling on his ear, which Astarion took as a sign to start nipping at his neck.
"I think that sounds most agreeable." Gale finally confirmed, relaxing into their touch.
"However." Gale started, causing the couple to instantly stop their actions and give him their full attention. "I do want to make explicitely clear that I am not unaware it is you that have allowed me in, not the other way around. So if either of you feel for a second that I am crossing some sort of boundary or change your mind, do not hesitate to let me know, and we can carry on as if this never happened."
Tav and Astation looked at each other after hearing the statement and smiled, knowing for sure now that they had made the right choice. After a couple of affirming nods, they resumed their actions.
He already knew the feel of Tav's mouth, but it didn't stop his heart from jumping and his dick twitching. Astarion however, was not as cold as he was expecting, and much more soft.
"Astarion, what do you say we help Gale out of these robes?" Tav's question was directed at her partner but her eyes never left the man in between them.
"Yes, darling, a wonderful idea." Astarion responded and began undoing Gale's robes.
Once he was fully undressed the couple examined his body, causing the man to become slightly self conscious.
"Gale, it is a crime to keep a body like that under such dense robes." Astarion observed appreciatively.
"You really should try something more form fitting for once." Tav agreed.
"I'm flattered, truly, perhaps we can do away with this imbalance and I can show my enthusiastic appreciation."
"Say no more."
Astarion undressed first, Gale watched every move intently. Astarion always did love to put on a show, never once losing eye contact with Gale as he tantalisingly unbuttoned his shirt - a shirt he and Tav specifically picked out for this trip.
Tav moved off Gale's neck to watch too, she always enjoyed his performance. As she watched she trailed her hand down Gale's torso until she reached his half hard cock. This broke Gale's attention from Astarion only briefly as he gave her an approving smirk before looking back. She gently palmed him, causing Gale to suck in a shuddered breath.
"Your turn, sweetness." Astarion instructed Tav once he was fully stripped.
Without a word she got up and removed her blouse, pulling Gale's attention to her instead. As she undressed, Astarion kissed and bit his way down Gale's body, making his way from his neck down the the inside of his thighs, to which he hummed approvingly.
Once Tav was done, she took her place next to Gale once more, grabbing his hands and placing them on her, worried he wouldn't do it himself. Gale gladly accepted the invitation and began playing with her breasts, kissing and sucking at her nipples, causing Tav to moan quietly.
Without warning, Astarion took Gale into his mouth, just a few inches, no doubt aiming to leave him in anticipation. At the unexpected warmth around him, Gale groaned, much louder than before.
"I do prefer the unfiltered groans Gale." Astarion told him, but he didn't hear, too focused on the fact his mouth was speaking instead of around his cock.
Astarion returned to Gale's member, taking him in deeper this time, provoking Gale to close is eyes and throw his head back, whining continuously.
Tav takes her chance to kiss his neck again, then whispers in his ear, still loud enough for Astarion to hear.
"Open your eyes Gale." She runs her hand into Gale's hair and gently pulls his head back up. "He looks so beautiful doesn't he?"
Gale observes the sight, Astarion bobbing up and down on him, his curls falling ever so slightly out of place. Tav was right, he looks heavenly. He couldn't help but reach his hand out to the vampire's face to move his hair back, then stroked his cheek gently.
He turned back to Tav using his other hand to rub on her clit, earning him a sweet moan in his ear. He does this for a while before he moves his finger to tease at her entrance. She gasped this time. Each noise is more delightful than the last, Gale thinks. He can't bring himself to tease her for long before he enters her, and not long again before he adds a finger. He tries to work at a good pace but he keeps stuttering, not being able to help how his body shivers under Astarion's influence. Tav takes it upon herself to set the pace, riding his fingers instead.
After a while, Astarion lifts off, standing. Gale and Tav halt their actions to see what he's doing - he leads them so naturally.
"You. Here." He pointed at Tav, then at the floor in front of him. She takes her place there, on her knees, holding herself back from taking him into her mouth.
"And you." He point at Gale. "Entertain yourself, love."
Astarion looks down at Tav, holds her head in his hands tenderly. He guides her to his cock and she gladly takes it. Though his hands are in her hair, he lets her control the pace. It's a picture perfect view for Gale, who doesn't hesitate to touch himself. He observes how lean but toned Astarion's body is, perfectly sculpted, the way his slender fingers grab onto Tav's hair - he wonders fleetingly if he might get to feel them some time. And then Tav, the way her breasts bounce slightly as she moves, and her plump lips around him. He follows her gaze back up to Astarion's eyes and his heart pangs seeing the way they look at each other. He's not sure if he's happy for his friends, jealous of them or just horny - probably a messy mix of all three.
Then Gale gets what he thinks is an amazing idea. He pulls himself off the sofa to kneel beside Tav. Astarion raises one eyebrow, surprised at Gale's initiative.
"Darling, why don't you get yourself ready?" He tells Tav, giving her a quick peck before she settles herself on the sofa.
Astarion found it very satisfying to see the wizard on his knees for him, he'd thought it would be the power over him that he liked most but in truth, seeing the trust in Gale's eyes was what took his breath away. Tav fingered herself as Gale took his turn on Astarion's cock. Astarion groaned when Gale took him in fully.
"Gale, you really are full of surprises." He stated. Gale responded by holding him there, deep for a while.
It wasn't long before Astarion pulled Gale off him, directing him to sit on the sofa. Once again, they were sat, Gale in the middle of the couple. Astarion reaches over Gale to grab Tav's hand and pull her towards him, he whispers something to her that Gale can't make out - his heart races, scared this is going to get called off. He's not sure he can let go anymore, this night has already meant so much to him. Tav nods in response to whatever he said to her. Before she pulls away completely they share a kiss. Astarion then turns his gaze to Gale, swiped his thumb over his lip and plants a kiss on him.
Gale realises that all they've done so far, this is the first kiss they've shared. Its short but sweet and he mourns when they part.
Astarion sits back on the far side of the sofa and Tav mounts Gale. This kiss is the first between them since the very start of their adventures, since the short lived relationship they shared. She felt different, tasted different. It was all the more sweeter and much less timid. His hands subconsciously found their way to her ass and he helped her line herself up with him. They both let out noises that were close to animalistic as she lowered herself down, hard and fast. Astarion smirked on the side lines, admiring the view. Gales grip tightens on her as he guides her up and down, deeper which each thrust. Astarion made his way so he was against Tav's back. With one hand he played with her nipple and with the other he circled her clit.
She was moaning ferociously now, head leaning back on her partner's shoulder, barely holding herself up. She was close, Astarion knew it when he saw it.
"Are you going to cum on the pretty wizards cock for me, darling?" Astarion teased.
She didn't need to be told twice, it erupted from her almost instantly, the pulsing around Gale pushing him closer and closer with each squeeze.
"I'm-" Gale tries to speak.
"I know. Keep going." Tav assured him.
After a few more thrust Gale finished too, bottoming out in Tav as he does so. As he cums, he makes eye contact with Astarion over her shoulder, and neither look away. After he's spent, Tav pulls off of him and drops down next to him. He looks over to her and they share some sort of silent communication, Astarion wonders when they had time to figure out their secret language in between all the sex. Within a second they were both again kneeling in front of him, Gale is the one to take him in his mouth while Tav starts sucking his balls. It's almost all too much for Astarion. Then Gale pulls back to focus on his tip, while Tav runs her tongue up and down his shaft. He's had many experiences, but never anything like this, he almost laughs thinking about it, but he doesn't think Gale would appreciate him chuckling while he's halfway down his throat. His hand shoots to the mans hair and he grips firmly - a signal. He reacts by pulling him in as far as he can and Astarion's knees buckle. HE barely holds himself up as he releases his seed straight down Gale's throat, who swallows it with no hesitation.
They all collapse on the sofa together, Gale rests his head on Astarion's shoulder and Tav lies across their legs. The vampire strokes her hair where the wizard runs his hand across her arm. She pulls her partner down for a kiss.
"I love you, Astarion."
"I love you too, darling."
"And you." She kisses Gale. "Were spectacular."
"Yes Gale, you did wonderfully." Astarion chimed, also giving him a peck.
Astarion smiles to himself, he thought he was lucky to have one person that he cared for, now he has two. And the best part is, they both care for him back. They drift off in that position and when they wake they realise they might not be able to move on quite as easily as they had hoped.
