Incredibly lucky.

[hawkethat]

Mmm. However can I show my gratitude for such a concession?

[onetrackminds]

I'm sure you can come up with something.

[hawkethat]

I'll be sure to let you know when I do, then.

[onetrackminds]

Don't take too long. I might change my mind, you know.

[hawkethat]

I won't take too long. But I don't think you'll change your mind even if I do.

[onetrackminds]

You're confident, are you?

[hawkethat]

I like to think I know you fairly well by now.

[onetrackminds]

Am I becoming predictable?

[hawkethat]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[onetrackminds]

It isn't?

[although he sounds more like he's just seeking a compliment.]

[hawkethat]

It'd be a bad thing if I didn't feel that way at this point, don't you think?

[Hawke'd be a pretty shitty lover if he didn't know what kinds of things make Anders happy.]

[onetrackminds]

You have a lifetime of knowing what to expect ahead of you.

[Even if a lifetime for Anders most likely won't be that long whoops.]

[hawkethat]

As long as you're with me.

[onetrackminds]

That's what I'm suggesting.

[hawkethat]

[Well damn, and here Hawke was thinking he couldn't possibly get any happier...!]

Anders...

[onetrackminds]

[Anders shifts just enough so that he can lean in to kiss Hawke softly.]

No objections?

[hawkethat]

None whatsoever.

[onetrackminds]

[He never really wanted to hold back for as long as he has. Doing so now would be impossible.]

I love you.

[hawkethat]

[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.]

[Love is strange okay]

I love you too. So much.

[onetrackminds]

[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.]

You are the most incredible man I have ever met.

[hawkethat]

[When Anders kisses him again, Hawke responds immediately, returning the kiss with equal intensity.]

You're the most important person in my life, Anders.

[For as much as Hawke likes to have his ego stroked, now is one of the very rare times he's more focused on returning the sentiment, rather than encouraging more.]

I can deal with whatever happens, as long as I have you by my side.

[The horrific death of his mother, exploding Chantries, adventures in space...He'll deal with it as long as he has Anders.]

[onetrackminds]

I couldn't bear to lose you, Hawke. I'm not going anywhere.

[He leans their foreheads together, staying like that. He still doesn't know what he did to get this lucky.]

It... felt good to say it.

[hawkethat]

Good. That makes two of us.

[Hawke brings up a hand to slide lightly over Anders' jaw. The hair there prickles against his palm as he caresses the other man's cheek.]

It felt good to hear it.

[onetrackminds]

[he leans into the touch, closing his eyes.]

I made you wait too long. I'm sorry.
