Couldn't trust anyone but you

Fenris has had scarce little reason to trust in his life. Indeed, he cannot remember trusting anyone—and of course he cannot; his memory is full to bursting with cruelties gathered up and collected like shells across the shore at low tide. If there is trust anywhere in his past, it exists beyond a barrier he cannot breach. But, oh, he breached it once—once, and only for a moment before it was gone, fleeing through his fingers like sand or water.

But beyond Fenris’ own faulty memory, there is instinct. Instinct, too, tells him that trust is a fool’s luxury that leads only to pain, to humiliation, to degradation.

And yet.

He has tried turning away. It was a misguided effort to protect himself from any number of things, though mostly, if he’s to be honest with himself, the one he wished most to protect himself from was Hawke. Hawke, with her honesty. Hawke, with her concern. Hawke, with her honest questions and more honest answers. He trusts her—he cannot help but trust her, for she has never given him reason to do otherwise.

If trust is a fool’s luxury, more fool he; it is a folly he will gladly revel in.

“You’re thinking again,” she says, pale pink lips twisting into a smile.

“Perhaps.” It’s the only answer he gives, the only answer he needs to give.

“About?” She winds her arms about his neck, and it still amazes him that the closeness, the touch, the inherent possessiveness of the gesture doesn’t bother him. On the contrary, he presses closer to her, wraps his arms about her in turn.

“Ought I to make you guess?”

Hawke makes a face then. “You know how abysmal I am at guessing games, Fenris. How about a hint?”

“A hint,” he echoes, thoughtfully. His hand rests just at the flare of her hips where his thumb begins rubbing a slow circle. Hawke’s eyes flutter shut as she sucks in a slow breath.

“Would that happen to be a hint?” Her voice is pitched lower, soft as aural velvet, and Fenris knows with a firmer stroke, right where he’s rubbing now, there will be no more talk of guessing games, because there will be no more talk at all.

“It is not,” he says, sliding his hand upward.

“Pity.”

And even as they exchange volleys and caresses with equal ease, he marvels at how very well he knows her. When they sink down together upon the sofa, Fenris above her—and a small part of him still marvels at that, marvels that Hawke cedes control to him so easily—he knows the sound she makes when his lips brush her collarbone (a gasp), when his tongue darts out to glide along the curve of her jaw (a whimper). He knows beyond a shadow of doubt that every one of his ministrations are wanted.

Desired.

With Hawke, there is no disdain, no mockery, no humiliation or rejection. There is no fear of a misstep. There is only her, and her response to him. And as he angles his mouth over hers, he knows what that response will be. Her arms tighten around him as her hands clutch at his back; she parts her lips with a moan, all acceptance and eagerness. There is no pain hidden in this pleasure, and it has taken time for Fenris to stop expecting pain, and all that comes with it. His tongue slides against hers and she arches beneath him, both hands sliding up his back to fist in his hair.

Kisses are intimate things. There’s nowhere to hide in a kiss; it’s like a shaft of daylight in which every flaw is thrown into relief. And as Hawke’s teeth graze his lip, chuckling huskily when he groans, Fenris knows this is who she is. There is no concealment here, no lies as her tongue swipes a path along the ridge of his teeth.

And there is no scorn as she pulls away long enough to breathe I love you before losing herself in his mouth again.

asdfgjklih. OH, look, I love this so much I managed to keysmash in a slightly different order than usual? <3 *laughs* This is beautiful.

I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE THIS. <3 <3 <3

Thank you, this is beautiful!!! :) :) :)

Thank YOU for conceiving the prompt in the first place. :) (I kind of have a Thing for Fenris and FemHawke and trust.)

Oooh, me too! Absolutely love friendmancing Fenris, because I think it's so beautiful when their relationship is built on that solid foundation of trust. *fans self*

TOTALLY with you there. (And my preferred Hawke to friendmance Fenris with is my mage. It was a challenge, but so ridiculously happy-making.)

oh, this is beautiful. I love all the little layers of damage he has built up, and yet the trust they have together. Yes. ♥

Thank you so much! I'm glad it worked for you (I'm so very much a sucker for the trust thing).
