I just saw your post about Dragon Age and I too am soft for Alistair so I would like to request a Dating Would Include with him please!
Dating Alistair would involve…
He’s just an awkward sweetheart
When he realizes he’s attracted to you and especially when he realizes the feeling might be mutual, he stumbles over his words, blushing up a storm
He’s never been in a proper relationship before so pretty much everything is new territory for him
He tends to look to you to lead both in the relationship and in the group as a whole
He trusts your judgement almost wholeheartedly
Helping him work through his grief over the loss of Duncan and comforting him when his meeting with Goldanna goes poorly
Him helping you adjust to the life of being a Warden, especially under less than ideal circumstances, and comforting you while you come to terms with the reality of the Calling
He holds you through your nightmares, quietly promising that you’ll learn to block them out eventually and rubbing your back and peppering your face with gentle kisses until you stop shaking
You return the favour when he has his own nightmares
Lying together in the camp at night curled up next to your mabari, staring up at the stars as he whispers stories about the Wardens or his childhood in the Chantry
Him confiding about his lineage and his doubts about being a leader
Though he’s shy about physical affection, especially in public and will rarely make the first move, he also clearly relishes it. If you ever take his hand in public, he starts smiling like an idiot, cheeks dusted pink, revelling in the pride that you chose him and that you’re willing to let that be known to the world
He’s much shyer about kissing in public though
He’s also less than pleased about Morrigan’s constant ribbing but he’s more than willing to endure it just for the knowledge that you’ve chosen to be with him over anyone else
Zevran and Wynne will likewise engage in some light teasing, and Alistair will splutter and blush until he catches you smiling at him
Alistair is entirely devoted to you. He’d follow you anywhere like a big armoured puppy dog, revelling in whatever attention and affection you lavish on him
You often catch him staring at you across the camp, utterly spellbound by you, though if he knows he’s been caught he’ll blush and look away
He’s constantly impressed by your ability in combat and makes sure to say so
Helps to patch you up after fights
Rubbing your shoulders after a long day
He’s a bit clumsy at times but makes up for it with his tenderness and earnestness
Occasionally getting you little gifts whether it’s a pretty flower he saw on the road or a small trinket he found in the last village’s market that he thought you’d like
He’s very liberal and entirely sincere with his compliments
He wants you to feel loved and appreciated because gods know the rest of the world is in chaos and the least he can do is try to make you smile, even if it entails him making a fool of himself
