Pairing: Yoonkook

Summary:

"Could you teach me?"

Yoongi blinks his eyes open, "Teach you what?"

Jeongguk shifts slightly, pulls back slowly until his nose is touching Yoongi's. He looks so soft, and open, his eyes as wide as ever focusing solely on Yoongi, his lips parted and teeth visible as Yoongi tries his hardest not to go cross eyed staring at him.

"Teach me how to kiss. Please."

incorrect quotes

astarion: you slept with gortash…. I am not sure how I feel

Morin: I did not sleep with gortaash

Shadowheart: how do you know you have amnesia

Morin: about the absolute plot. About Orin giving me a failed lobotomy… not about my Bhaal days.

karlach: but you told him….

Morin: I lied. Besides I am asexual. I need to have a connection with you …. And ….

astarion: you certainly had a connection with him -teasing-

Morin: ahem I need a connection with you and I need to find you aesthetically pleasing. He might be some one’s cup of tea. Good for them but not mine.

Shadowheart: did you hear astarion? We’re aesthetically pleasing.

astarion: oh we knew that darling. Anyways, he definitely wants to get in your pants. I have never seen such a blatant undressing of some one with my eyes before.

Morin: he did what………O.o

astarion: you didn’t notice?

Morin: I am happy with my two partners who will not be getting cuddles. Excuse me -shudders-

-next day-

Gale: uh… any one seen my shirts

wyll: they disappeared with mine

jaheira: and mine

-everyone’s extra clothes are missing-

Morin: -covered in said clothing outfits- I am ready for the day.

astarion: me thinks Morin uh did not like what we told them yesterday

Shadowheart: can you even fight in that?

Morin: -manages to get a finger out- yep. Magic

Gale: what in the hells happened yesterday

karlach: …..

karlach: I got you Morin. You keep wearing that and I’ll handle any one that gives you looks with my axe.

Morin struggles with self esteem issues and kind of has blinders on when they go through the world. They don’t fall in love easily being demiromantic. To add on they are also asexual. Sure they can sleep with others like Morin did sleep with astarion as astarion mentioned not having control of their body and having to do what cazador said so when astarion asked at the party he agreed. (Morin had a vague idea of what astarion was trying to do but wasn’t too surprised when astarion came clean later). However they definitely just think astarion is doing is normal teasing fun game when astarion tells them they are beautiful. They also know Shadowheart feels loved and happy around them but being looked over is not a feeling they handle well.

also I do love seeing everyone’s gortaash x durge but I don’t think any of my durges were romantically involved. Morin just doesn’t like being looked at… due to what Tanith did.

People kinda just ignore that asexual characters are asexual

One thing I noticed during my time in various fandoms is how often asexuality is erased or not taken seriously even in very queer spaces. There’s an abundance of smut and sexually explicit material revolving around canonically asexual characters, completely disregarding their stated sexuality. And yes, Ive heard lots of counter points along the lines of “people can write whatever they want” (I don’t disagree with this principle, just to be clear) “stop being conservative”, but let me propose you a hypothetical. What if it was that someone wrote a canonically gay character as being heterosexual? Suddenly it feels like a bit of a bigger deal, which is weird because it’s two examples of the exact same thing (erasing representation of an already underrepresented group).

There’s an undeniable stereotype that asexuality is not real, just a phase, just people being prissy, just someone who hasn’t found their person, and that it’s something that can and will eventually change. It really doesn’t help asexual people beat the stigma when their own community is acting like it’s a placeholder sexuality instead of a valid one. No one is stopping you from writing smut about asexual characters, if you couldn’t then I wouldn’t have anything to complain about. I just think the number of people doing this exemplifies how asexuality is not taken seriously by other queer people and it would be nice if everyone could treat it the same as they’d treat any other orientation.
