Prompt: CuriousityFenris still wondered how he ended up so lucky.
He didn't understand why someone like Faline would want to be with him. Sure, he was strong, a good warrior, but it wasn't as if he had much else going for him. And yet she told him she loved him, every day in fact, as if afraid he'd forget it. It scared him how close he'd let her get. He was scared that it was all a joke, that she didn't really care about him at all.
They were watching the sky and the clouds. It was a while before lunch time.
Watching the sky was a habit he'd picked up after joining her party. When he was a slave, he never got to see the sky. But as a free man...it was a reminder that this wasn't a dream, that he wasn't going to wake up one day back in that cage. She began joining him in his watchings after they'd known each other for a year. He was put off at first, but gradually got used to her company. If she wasn't there with him, he'd think something was wrong.
Faline was curled up next him, her silvery gray eyes shut gently, mouth slack. Her arm was slung over him, her leg bent over his own legs. He had forgone watching the twisting, swirling clouds in favor of watching her doze, smiling as her nose twitched in a very feline manner. She opened her round eyes and looked up at him tiredly.
"What's wrong?" she murmured.
"I was just thinking..." Fenris sighed. "Why are you here?"
"Uhm...because I always watch the clouds with you." Faline frowned.
"I mean...why are you with me?"
"Because I love you, you silly elf." She grinned. He didn't return it.
"Then...why do you love me?" She sighed at him.
"I...don't really know. I just do." he raised an eyebrow at her. "It's ineffable!"
"I'm what?"
"No no no, ineffable means it can't be explained!" she laughed.
"Oh."
"But why are you even asking this? Do you doubt my affections?"
"It's just...something Varric said." Fenris sighed again.
"What did the dwarf tell you that upset you so, my love?" Faline inquired.
"He just...asked me why you were with me when he was the manly one."
"Wait, what?" Faline arched an eyebrow. "How the Black City is he more manly?"
"Chest hair."
"WHAT?"
"He said he's more manly then me because he has chest hair." Faline couldn't help herself; she began laughing uncontrollably.
"Oh...oh, Fen," she coughed out between laughs. "You've gotta be kidding me! CHESTHAIR?" Fenris frowned, and began to feel rather silly. "Fen, I hate chest hair! And I love you for more then your lack thereof." Faline placed a kiss on his cheek.
"I'm so sorry for having a curiosity, my love." he sniffed sarcastically.
"Curiosity killed the cat, y'know."
"I thought you were the cat."
She bit her bottom lip, holding back her laughter. "Damn you logic, elfling!"
