Work Text:

The first slap stung the worst.

Hawkeā€™s head snapped to the side, as Fenris prepared to deliver the next blow.

His fist connected with Hawkeā€™s chest forcing him to take an involuntary step away. This time heā€™d held back. It still hurt like hell.

For a moment he considered letting the elf get it out of his system but his reflexes got the better of him. He caught Fenrisā€™ fist mid-strike.

ā€œItā€™s good to see-ā€œ

The left hook caught him by surprise.

ā€œDonā€™t even try to make light of this, Hawke!ā€ Fenris spat.

By now everyone in the garden had dropped what they were doing to watch the unfolding drama before them.

Hawke ducked under Fenrisā€™ next swing and hooked his arm around his waist, trapping one of the elfā€™s hands to his side. Fenrisā€™ other hand flew to Hawkeā€™s shoulder and uselessly tried to push him away as a strong hand wrapped around the back of his neck and forced their lips together. Hawke grinned into the kiss as he felt Fenris relaxing in his arms, slowly giving up his fight.

ā€œAlright, people! Showā€™s over! Move along. Leave the love-birds to catch up in peace would you.ā€

Varricā€™s voice echoed across Skyholdā€™s courtyard as he hopped down off his bench. He continued to hustle the onlookers away but Hawke was completely oblivious, lost in the taste of Fenrisā€™ lips. His grip around his waist tightened and brought their hips tightly against each otherā€™s. Fenris rewarded him with a small moan, which Hawke swallowed with pride.

ā€œOk, ok. Guys take it somewhere private would you?ā€

Again, Varricā€™s voice was registered as nothing more than a slurred whisper in Hawkeā€™s mind. The only thing he could focus on at that point was the man in his arms. The man he hadnā€™t seen in almost a year. The thought made him tighten his hold on him even more.

Fenris reluctantly pulled back, breathless. ā€œHawkeā€¦ā€

ā€œIā€™m so glad youā€™re here.ā€

ā€œYouā€™re still an asshole.ā€ He unwound himself from the embrace and resumed his glare. ā€œYou can also wipe that dumb shit-eating grin off your face.ā€

ā€œBut youā€™re here.ā€

Fenris stepped back as Hawke stepped forward.

ā€œIā€™m still mad at you.ā€ His expression changed. Melted for a second before returning to the stern glower which was so at home on his features. ā€œHow could you, Hawke?ā€

By now Varric had managed to corral most of the people into the main hall. The garden was overcome with a peaceful lull, haunted only by Fenrisā€™ simmering fury. The dwarf glanced back at the pair before leaving them in peace. For a while he was worried about what would happen when Broody eventually showed up at the Inquisitionā€™s doorstep. He was primarily concerned Hawke would be angry he hadnā€™t warned him. As it turned out, he shouldnā€™t have fretted after all. Even if the mage couldnā€™t admit it, he needed the elf by his side. After everything that had happenedā€¦ This was the way it should be.

Hawke took another step only to be matched with another evasive manoeuvre.

Fenris knew that as soon as Hawkeā€™s hands were on him, he would give in. But no! Not this time. Varricā€™s letter frightened the shit out of him. If things had played out differentlyā€¦ If fate had other plansā€¦ Hawke wouldnā€™t be standing before him now.

So he was mad. Mad that Hawke didnā€™t write the letter himself. Mad he hadnā€™t been there. Mad that stupid oaf had let himself get caught up in this! But most of all he was mad because heā€™d missed him.

ā€œFenrisā€¦ā€

ā€œNo! Not until you tell me why! I donā€™t ask much of you, Garrett but thisā€¦ You almost got yourself killed, you idiot! If you knew you were getting involved in this why wouldnā€™t you tell me? You think I learned how to read because I wanted to catch up with ā€˜Swords & Shieldsā€™? A letter isnā€™t that hard to send, Hawke.ā€

Another step. Fenrisā€™ back hit a pillar. Hawke continued his approach carefully, watching for any signs he might receive another slap. He was here. Right there. He was mad but Hawke didnā€™t care. He was here with him. It took all his willpower not to pounce on him.

Each step which brought him closer to his lover stripped away more of his own willpower. By the time the mage was before him, Hawke was gripping onto the last shreds of control he had. His hands slipped around and into Fenrisā€™ hair as he pressed their foreheads together.

ā€œLater.ā€ His voice was dark and low. The way that always made Fenris breathe harder and lid his eyes.

ā€œLater.ā€ He agreed.

Fenris was in his arms. They were kissing. Halfway up the stairs, Hawke pinned him to the stone wall, hands above his head. He worked his way down to Fenrisā€™ throat, nuzzling under the collar of his travelling cloak to get at the sweet spot on the nape of his neck. He dragged his teeth across the sensitive skin and Fenris ground his hips forward onto Hawkeā€™s leg.

They pushed off the wall and worked their way up the remaining steps, Hawke stumbling over the last one and all but dragging his love down the walkway to the right door. It could have been the wrong one for all he cared though.

They stumbled into what was probably Hawkeā€™s chambers and starting shedding layers, messy uncoordinated kisses interrupting the process. Hawkeā€™s fingers fumbled with the laces of Fenrisā€™ breaches before pushing him roughly up against the wall. His hand snaked under his loverā€™s clothing and drew a sharp hiss from the elf when it wrapped around his shaft. Hawke groaned into his ear as he pressed them further into the wall, one hand on Fenrisā€™ hip to keep him in place.

His hand slid up and down at an excruciating slow and measured pace. Fenris could barely contain himself as Hawke continued to run the tip of his tongue along his collarbone, licking a trail up his neck. Suddenly Hawkeā€™s teeth closed around his throat and the man revelled in the vibrations Fenrisā€™ moans fed him.

He worked his mouth back up to the elfā€™s lips, already needing to taste them first hand again. He barely noticed as slender fingers worked their way to his own frustrated erection and couldnā€™t help tightening his own grip when his lover began to match his pace with strokes of his own.

They pulled out of the kiss, foreheads resting against each other as they panted heavily, not slowing their movements no matter how quickly this would end at this rate. Just as Fenrisā€™ breath started to hitch, Hawke shifted his hips forward and dislocated the elfā€™s hand off his own member so that he could wrap his own large hand around the both of them before picking up the pace.

Fenris cried out and wrapped his hand around Hawkeā€™s, feeling those fingers keeping them close. He worked them hard until even the mage couldnā€™t hold back. His hand left Fenrisā€™ hip to fist into his hair and force them into another powerful kiss. He growled into the kiss and felt his lover tense with him.

They came against each other, both swallowing the otherā€™s moans and lost breaths.

Slowly, their minds returned and their breathing regained a regular pace, though neither dared to move a muscle.

ā€œI missed you.ā€ Hawke whispered.

ā€œI missed you tooā€¦ Even if you are an ass.ā€
