Summary
Astarion was fine being just friends with Tav, really.
He was fine watching her and Gale giggling and holding hands on their long walks through the Sword Coast. He was fine seeing them stay up late naming the stars together, and with Gale being the one she now ran to when she had nightmares. He was fine listening to her sharp, whimpering breaths and moans that came from Gale’s tent at night.
He stayed out hunting long past what was necessary on those nights because he wanted to, and no other reason.
He was fine with it because it was his own fault for fucking up their chance at something real due his own crippling fear of betrayal and selfish plans of self-preservation. Maybe if Astarion had just told Tav how he looked for her first after every battle, things would be different.
But alas, he made himself be happy for her because she deserved something genuine and soft and safe. Miserable for him, but happy for her. And the wizard was annoyingly good natured, and at the very least he knew Gale would take care of her.
Until, of course, he didn’t.
And Astarion was left to watch helplessly as she flung herself off of a cliff.
