   Summary

   "What if said three words, everyone's favourite?", Astarion asked quietly, his cold breath ghosted over their face, caressed their closed eyelids, stirred their lashes, as he leaned in ever so close until he touched their forehead with his. Hush could smell the expensive perfumes and oils on his skin, as well as a faint smell beneath the initial cloud of flowers and mild spices; something stale and sharp hiding just below the pleasant surface.
   He lifted a second ice cold, perfectly manicured hand up to their other ashen cheek, now fully cupping their face.
   "I love you"
   Hush stopped breathing.
   ___________________________
   Hush and Astarion have a sweet moment. Then it all goes to shit (because we can't have nice things, that's why).
