[He tries to resist and remain impassive, but he can't just not kiss back when Anders kisses him; so after a few moments, he relaxes and returns the kiss, tightening his hold on Anders' hand.]
[He's relieved as Hawke kisses back; he didn't go too far, then. After another moment, he pulls away, but barely.]
Let me make one thing very clear, Hawke.
[he strokes his hand across his cheek, softly]
You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Why in Andraste's name would I ever be interested in anyone else? You're perfect. More than I could ever hope for.
[Well, that assuages Hawke's bruised ego a little bit.]
[But more than that, it sounded almost like the beginnings of a confession. Hawke hadn't realized how much he'd grown to depend on those three little words until Anders had abruptly stopped saying them once they'd arrived here.]
So you won't mind if I decide not to braid my beard, then?
[Hawke, this is not the time for your stupid humor...]
[Oh, well, in that case, public snogging can commence! Hawke's in no hurry today either. He's got his most important person back, so everything else is secondary.]

[UGH he is so disgusted he is pouting as hard as he can and looking away, UGH!!!]
[Not letting go of Anders' hand though]
no subject
And then he kisses him deeply.]

That's the last thing you have to worry about.

[countering humour with further confessions, then!]

Even if I decided to shave?
[Hawke stop being stupid]

[It's good to know these things, you know!]
[Also wait, shit, did he just ruin the moment?]
no subject
[yup, totally ruined it.]
no subject
I know. It's terrifying, isn't it?
no subject
[back to teasing now, it seems. Hawke, you bring this upon yourself.]
no subject
[You know what? All of this witty banter is fun and all, but weren't they going somewhere? Maybe they should start doing that again.
...Right after Hawke steals another kiss.]
