[It's amazing how much of an effect those three little words have when you don't hear them for nearly five months. Now it's Hawke's turn to shift, pivoting where he sits and turning to face Anders to pull him into a full embrace, wrapping both arms around him and holding him tightly. He's a little surprised how choked up he is. It feels as though he hadn't realized what was missing until just now, even though he knew, logically, that it was.]
[the last thing he could do now would be to look away, so even as Hawke pulls him tight, even as he hugs him back, he stays facing him. He kisses him again, slightly more desperate now.]
I never thought I could find someone like you.
[he still almost doesn't, but it made him so happy just to say those words. To have the freedom to say them.]

[wow sudden serious topic.]
I imagine it didn't take them long to rebuild, though. That's one thing you can say about Fereldans.
