Can I request headcanons for Dammon, Rolan, and Zevlor react to his gn crush accidentally confessing to him?

Dammon, Rolan and Zevlor If Their Gender Neutral Crush Accidentally Confesses To Him Headcanons

Note(s) : The reader isn't Tav or durge they're just sort of a random person, I don't think the race is ever specified (correct me if I'm wrong) and neither are any described features or their class.

I'm not too knowledgeable of Dammon, Zevlor and Rolan's character in BG3 and I'm so sorry if the characters are wrong.

This is a mix of random general relationship headcanons as well as the random confession.

Dammon

He's all about outwardly caring for those he loves and he understands that love can come in many ways, he had a strong love for you before you had even confessed aloud, a mix of platonic and romantic feelings that he would showcase by doing tasks for you.

Whether he gained his crush first or you did doesn't matter in his eyes. What matters to him is that he doesn't know if you liked him back for quite a while, not until you had confessed that is. Dammon's not the type of man to make wild guesses about romance, even if you're more affectionate he doesn't think anything of it because some people are just like that with their friends and he thinks that it'd be presumptuous to assume.

He decides to eventually try and court you by making you small items or helping you as much as he could with his blacksmith job, things like necklaces, bracelets, maybe even armour, whatever you prefer, really.

Dammon isn't a fan of the typical Tiefling courting rituals, they're the same as humans but with violent and sarcastic speech, along with playful teasing and pushing their object of affection around. Of course, he won't judge if you do that to him, he can take teasing, but he much prefers to show his love through affectionate actions and words.

When you confess to him he gets more excited than embarrassed or flirty, he adores you and to know that you feel the same way as he does gets him a little giddy. He won't even realise that this could be embarrassing to you or even uncomfortable, straight away asking if you'd like to go on a date or be a couple. He does apologise after he realises how forward he's being though.

Rolan

In a relationship Dammon is very much someone who shows his love through acts of service, he'll craft things for you, help you with your job(s) and even just random tasks you might not want to or be able to do by yourself.

Sometimes he'll make random pieces of jewellery, he says that it doesn't matter if you want to wear them all the time, just as long as you like them. He accepts any gifts even if they're not something he likes, he can find a way to make it practical.

Dammon loves to tease you about your shy confession, in public and private. Unless you directly tell him you don't like it he'll randomly bring it up during conversation, when you're being cocky or teasing him it's an easy and fairly cute memory he can use to make fun of you.

Cooking is something that's interesting for the both of you, I don't think that he'd be too good at cooking or baking, not so horrible that he'll burn down a house, but not really good enough that you'd be able to have a lot of his food. Don't get him wrong, he'd love to learn, but he does prefer to have you cook while he gets ingredients and helps with any part of it that doesn't require anything that requires experience or talent in cooking.

His cuddles are very shifty, I don't think he likes to stay still for long and so you'll constantly be switching positions and he'll tend to play with your hair or hands if you let him. He might roll you around so you're laying on top of him, he's on top of you, you're sideways and hugging him, or he's hugging you, it generally just depends on how fidgety he feels on that day.

His kisses are short, he likes to give a small peck to your lips every few moments. Whether you're busy with your work or he is with his blacksmith work, then boom, kiss out of nowhere on your cheek or neck, he loves to catch you off guard and laughs whenever you get surprised by them.

Rolan personally doesn't do the typical tiefling courting strategy, of course he's sarcastic, but he's not going to be spewing out any violent speech when it's supposed to be a romantic hint to his feelings toward you.

His reaction would mostly depend on how it happened, and I can mainly see it going a few ways. Either A, you accidentally blurt it out during a conversation directly to him, or B, he overhears you talking about your love for him in some way, maybe going over a confession you're planning with a friend or you're just ranting about how much you like him.

If you blurt it out during conversation he's certainly surprised, but he is wondering if it's some sort of joke even if you're not that type of person. He will absolutely ask if Lyla or Cal put you up to this. Whereas if he overhears you he's much more likely to believe it's genuine, and he won't strut over while the other person is still there, he'll wait until you're done with the conversation and then strut over.

Whatever the way it happens, he will a hundred percent tease you about it. Nothing too heavy and it's mainly a ploy to confirm that you do in fact like him, just so he can make sure the situation is correct and he's not just assuming. He'll just outwardly say things like 'So, you have feelings for me?', 'a birdie seems to have told me about your feelings.', etc.

When you confirm you do in fact have romantic feelings for him he's over the moon, of course he won't outwardly show it and attempts to act suave, he's failing miserably and stumbles over one or two words at first, with false cocky arrogance and deepening his voice to try and make you more embarrassed than he is. Although, if you look down at his feet you can see that his tail is swishing back and forth.

In a relationship he's a mix between awkward and suave, he loves to tease you but if you tease back he gets huffy and storms off, not because he's angry, but because he's just so embarrassed. Especially if you do it around his siblings, Cal and Lia will help you make fun of him but he won't forgive you, unless you give him a kiss or gift him a new book and then it's history.

Rolan will sometimes remind you of how you so forwardly and awkwardly confessed to him to try and make you embarrassed, whether or not if you actually bite back or not doesn't matter, but he loves to do it when you flirt with him first. Oh, you think you've caught him off guard? Well, here's his ultimate trap card! Unless you're not embarrassed by it, then he's stuck trying to remember some other event that could make you embarrassed.

Zevlor

He's not too great at cooking but he can absolutely try for you, he's better at baking because of the strict step by step instructions, but for cooking where it mainly relies on taste and altering recipes he can struggle a little. Rolan does that cute thing if you like to cook or bake where he wraps his arms around you from behind and gives you a lil' kiss.

His cuddles are very 'bear hug' like, when you're spooning him he always asks you to wrap your arms around his waist and push yourself against him fully, he adores the closeness and comfort of it. When he's spooning you he does the same, arms around your waist, his face buries in your neck, making sure to position his horns away from your face. He prefers cuddling in bed and laying down rather than sitting up or on the sofa, the sofas smaller so it makes it harder to get comfortable in his opinion.

Rolan's kisses are always short and sweet, gentle and usually he'll give two or three pecks in a row because he can't get enough of you. Sometimes he'll kiss you for longer or more passionately, usually if one of you is upset or had a long day and just needs one another to relax.

So, Zevlor's not exactly the most confident or well sought after in the romance department. His age shows on his face and many people seem to be turned off by it, of course there's the whole issue with his past that many tieflings dislike him over, which they make painfully clear.

Although of course, one man's trash is another's treasure, that's where you come in. You both express interest in one another, if you don't catch on due to differences in culture, a general misunderstanding or complete obliviousness, that's up to you. But Zevlor does try to court you.

Regardless of the fact that he's single and has been for a while, he still values romance to some part. Even though it's not to the point that he actively wishes for a relationship or is miserable outside of one.

Overall, Tiefling courting rituals are similar to human courting rituals, but with a lot more grim gallows humor they use to cope with being shunned in most societies that you might not be comfortable with. In Tiefling spaces a common dark joke is 'The fastest way to a man's heart is to either make it laugh it up, or cut it out of him.' If you are a Tiefling, or perhaps from a culture or a specific race that has similar courting rituals to a Tiefling, then he will most likely just stick with what he'd normally say. Nothing too intense, but definitely things that would make a stranger unaware of these traditions to raise a brow.

If you're a non Tiefling he might try to dial back what he would typically do to court one of his own race, in his years he understands that many races or cultures will show love through kind actions, but for Tieflings, courting is all about sarcasm and being a bit more 'violent' verbally. But, if a Tiefling didn't like you then they wouldn't pick on you.

Many Tieflings in the grove are already, painfully so, aware of your little crush on the old Tiefling man. Whether it's because you've talked to them about it or because you're just so obvious, gossip can spread like a wild hellfire, everybody will know even if only one person does.

He most likely had one or two flings in his time, but to hear someone so suddenly admit that they have feelings for him is rather new, and, let me just say, I think he would have some clue before you even said it out loud. Zevlor would never outright think 'they love me', but perhaps would be under the impression that you admire him in some way, especially with how many tieflings try to hint to him that you do love him.

I don't think he would even attempt to court you if he didn't think you'd be at least a little interested.

Obviously if you're reading this you most likely want Zevlor to reciprocate your feelings and accept your confession, which he does, his confession back isn't blunt per se but he definitely gets his feelings across without mincing any words.

In a relationship he's a little awkward at first, but definitely not shy. It's mostly because it's been a while since his last lover but he also wants to make it work with you, but after a few weeks he really does begin to settle in. He'll suggest activities to strengthen your bond, like cooking meals for each other and the other tieflings, training with weapons or fighting styles either one of you might not be perfect with or against, and sometimes just taking a stroll around to admire nature.

Zevlor will adore it if you bite back with equal sarcasm, he is never outright rude, especially if he knows you can't handle it, but he does love a good playful back and forth.

I don't think Zevlor would ever tease you about your awkward and sudden confession in public, maybe with a few close friends of yours or his, but it's mainly when you two are alone and it's usually just if you tease him first. It's a fun little inside joke between you two that you can always find humor in.

Zevlor's great at cooking that can give you energy and also taste good with minimal ingredients, it's nothing spectacular that you can eat thousands of plates full of, but they're always able to give a pep in your step. He, however, isn't too good at baking, and so if you like to bake then he appreciates some lessons when either of you have the time.

I think he'd be rather awkward and stiff if you ever cuddle for the first few times, after a while he does learn what you both like and how to position himself to be comfortable for each other, but he feels very cumbersome especially if you're laying down. Zevlor prefers to cuddle on the sofa just sitting next to each other one arm around another's waist style.

His kisses are passionate and like the movies, that's the best way I can describe them. He wants you to know how much he loves kissing you and so he takes your breath away every time, if either of you are busy or in a rush he will give a small peck to your cheek as to not make you dawdle.

Peaceful for once (Zevlor x Tav)

(I couldn't get this scenario out of my mind so I had to write about it ><

It's @ada-melodies fault, who made an amazing fanart of Zevlor sleeping which is stuck on my mind now q.q)

When you came back to your room at the Elfsong tavern, it was already past midnight. Your quest took up most of the day and half of the night as well but you came back without major injuries, which was already a success.

The others who didn't join on your quest were already sleeping and you smiled at how quiet it was in the room. It's a rare situation that no one is arguing and you enjoyed how calm it made you feel.

Astarion, Gale and Shadowheart, who had joined you for the quest were also quiet, which is especially rare as Astarion barely keeps his mouth shut, but it seems all of them were just too exhausted. They whispered a Goodnight to each other as they didn't want to wake up the others sleeping. You whispered a Goodnight back to them and watched as they walked over to their beds.

As glad as you were for the day finally being over, you still had a lot to prepare for the upcoming fight against the Absolute and you usually felt like time was not on your side.

But right now, you didn't feel stressed for once.

You walked over to your bed, passing by a few others of your companions sleeping as your sight fell on Zevlor.

Still in disbelieve you were able to save him, you stood there staring for a moment.

He obviously didn't plan on sleeping already as his book was still open but laying on his chest. One of his hands was resting on the book, the other one resting under the pillow behind his head. His hair was undone and looked messier than you ever saw it, but honestly you had never seen him without his typical hairstyle, that had half of his hair tied back.

His face had never looked so relaxed as it usually carried a sad and worried expression.

You stood there for a few moments just staring at him. Even though you are aware that he didn't plan on falling asleep, it made you happy to see him so peaceful for once.

You took a few steps closer to him, carefully taking the book from underneath his hand so that it wouldn't fall and startle him in his sleep. Quietly putting it down besides him and cautiously moving his hair out of his face.

The calm feeling you got made you feel braver than usual as you placed a kiss on his forhead, quickly moving away not to disturb his sleep.

You moved over to your own bed and felt a sigh escape you.

If only every night would be so peaceful with all the different people who joined your camp.

What you weren't aware of was the fact that Zevlor did wake up when he felt your lips on his forhead but he was still to sleepy to process it.

He kept his eyes closed until he heard your footsteps leaving his side. Honestly he thought he was still dreaming but he wasn't going to question it, just taking in the warmth in his heart he was feeling in this moment when drifting back to sleep.

part 2!

(I didn't write something in forever but the lack of zevlor content brought me back! And as english isn't my first language and I'm not used to writing in english, I hope there aren't too many mistakes ><

Anyways! Hope you like it ♡ )

Peaceful for once - pt.3 (Zevlor x Tav)

part 1 part 2

(The next part of me pretending bg3 would let us have zevlor in our team 😭)

The next morning you went to Sorcerous Sundries as Gale wanted to find a book about the crown of Karsus, which just ended in your group fighting Lorroakan, as he was just the next person trying to be a god.

You really weren't sure anymore how an uneventful day would feel like, the last one just being far too long ago.

When you got back to your room at the Elfsong it was late and you felt exhausted.

After the few injuries your companions got today were healed, they decided to go downstairs for a few drinks.

"I won't be joining you, I really need some rest today. Drink one for me, too!", you told them.

They tried to convince you a few more times before they gave up and left for the tavern.

You fell onto your bed the second you had your armor off and your eyes stared at the ceiling.

How could you possibly keep these people safe? These people who grew to be your friends. You trusted them, at first because you had no other choice as you needed each others help, but while you traveled and fought together, you grew so much closer.

You started to know each others strenghts and weaknesses and learned about each of their lifes. It felt like family to you.

So just the thought of any of them not making it through the fight.. you had no idea what you would do.

As your sight on the ceiling started to blur you sat up on your bed.

Wiping your eyes you tried thinking about anything else, yet you found your mind always going back to the same depressing thought.

So you sat there in silence as the tears were falling down your face and onto your lap. You found yourself silently sobbing with worry for the people who shared a drink downstairs just in this moment.

You jumped up from your bed when the door suddenly opened and you tried wiping your face quickly before anyone noticed.

You looked over to the door as Zevlor stood there staring at you. The door was still open in his hand as the first thing he noticed when he entered was you crying.

You tried to hide it with a smile and turned away quickly to avoid his gaze.

He wasn't sure how to react, frozen in place as he took in the scene before his eyes. Karlach asked him to get her bag for her as she forgot it when they were leaving. He still wasn't sure why she did ask him but he still felt a little awkward when surrounded by many people, so he was glad for a chance to escape it for a few moments.

What he never expected was to find you crying here on your own and it instantly made him feel bad for leaving with the others.

Shaking his head he moved from his frozen state and closed the door he was still holding open.

He moved over to you, putting a hand on your shoulder as you had turned away from him.

"Did something happen? Are you hurt?", the worrying tone was obvious in his voice.

You tried to speak, to tell him everything you were just so worried about, but your constant sobbing made it impossible to just say a simple word.

When he noticed you couldn't talk he made sure to look at you all over just in case you didn't want to tell about a horrible injury you hid from them.

With his hand on your shoulder he turned you around and pulled you in. His arms around you, one of his hands on your back while his other hand guided your head to his chest.

Your hands found his shirt immediately and you held onto it while burying your face into him.

He just stood there with you, holding you with his hand slowly caressing your back as you listened to his steady breathing.

Not sure how long you were standing there like this but after some time your sobbing slowed down and the tears became less frequent.

Your arms found their way around his waist and you were so glad he was here right now holding you.

"Do you want to tell me what's wrong? You are free to say no of course and I will never mention it again.", he whispered into your ear as his head leaned against yours.

"I don't really know how to put it into words..", you stated honestly.

"You can try, I'm listening."

"Honestly I am just so stressed I might lose any of the people around me in one of the fights we get into.. As simple as that sounds but I am not sure if I could handle losing any of them."

A sigh escaped him and you know it's a thought he probably had a million times already.

"I know that feeling, but honestly I don't think that's even a possibility. I saw you rescue any person that needed your help on your way here and you even kept my people safe too. I would trust you with my life and I know all of them do too. If anyone can keep us safe, it's you. And I hope you know we plan on doing the same for you."

"How do you manage to alway find the right words?"

You couldn't help but feel better already, not sure if it was his embrace you were in or his words or just his precence in general. You did feel safe with him.

"I don't think you needed any of my words. You knew all of that before I told you, you probably just needed someone else to tell you, so you could be sure it is true."

"Maybe you are right.", you laughed, because you were sure he was right.

"Do you feel better?", he asked.

"Much better, thank you again."

"Anytime, my dear."

You loosened the hug and you felt him do the same, even though his arms didn't fully let you go. You lifted your head off his chest, noticing how your tears soaked his shirt.

"Sorry about that."

"It's no problem."

Your face felt swollen from all the crying and you tried to cover it with one of your hands, while you could feel his gaze on you.

"Don't look at me, my face probably looks like I got stuck in a beehive."

"Oh don't be riddiculus.", he answered. One of his hands cupped your cheek as the other one found your wrist and gently pulled your hand away from covering your face.

"You look beautiful as always, swollen eyes or not, Tears or no tears. I mean it."

He looked down into your eyes and you knew he didn't just say it to make you feel better. He honestly believed it.

"Please teach me how to always find the right words just like you do.", you chuckled and kept looking up at him.

"I just said what was on my heart, as simple as that."

"Sounds like a good advice, I should try that sometimes."

"Go ahead.", he simply said but you noticed his eyes looking at your lips for a second.

"Kiss me.", you whispered while you were holding his gaze.

You noticed the small smile that his lips formed, before your eyes closed and you waited for him to lean in.

His lips found yours gently and they felt much softer that you ever would've imagined them.

Sadly he pulled away far too soon, while his thumb caressed your cheek.

"You could have someone so much better than me.. someone younger or more beautiful or brave-", he started saying but you silenced him by kissing him again. Your hand behind his neck pulling him in with you on your tiptoes to reach his lips.

"I will never understand how you can find the best words some moments ago yet you manage to spill so much nonsense just moments later."

He laughed but you know he doesn't fully believe your words, his self doubt fully absorbed into his bones.

"If saying nonsense leads to you kissing me to make me shut up, I will gladly continue."

Teasing game (Zevlor x Tav)

The game you were playing started a few weeks ago. The fighting was over and your friends and you met regularly for drinks or catching up on life, your life finally felt normal again.

Shadowheart and Halsin were the first to notice you being hopelessly in love with Zevlor.

One night when you were drinking with your friends Shadowheart was trying to push you to confess. You told her how unsure you were to do so as you thought you were already pretty obvious with your feelings towards him, so that to you it just seemed like he was uninterested in you. He would've noticed, right?

Soon enough Astarion noticed about your feelings too and came up with an idea that you knew wasn't a good one, but you couldn't say you didn't like it.

He suggested you teased him until he finally snaps. Of course you didn't want to play with him, but it wasn't like you didn't like him.. so was it really playing with him or just testing his patience? You agreed and the teasing game started.

At first you were really shy about it. You tried to be in his company more often, joining him when he went to buy something or just left from meeting your friends at the same time as him so you could walk with him.

But you noticed it didn't change anything, he was polite and slightly distanced as usual.

Seems like you had to get a little more brave.

You were at the Elfsong tavern with your friends as you did at least once a week. Most of them were aware of the game you planned, so they left the spot next to you empty so Zevlor had no choice but to sit there.

You waited a little before starting your teasing as you were still trying to be subtle about it, but a drink or two made you slightly more bold.

Halsin and you were in a conversation catching up about Thaniel and the former shadow cursed lands.

You moved your leg so it was touching Zevlors leg next to you. He was sitting between Halsin and you so you had an excuse to lean closer to him.

When you notices his gaze on you, you turned to look up at him only to find him looking away quickly.

When Halsin got into conversation with someone else you turned to Zevlor. He noticed you staring at him and looked at you.

"May I ask you something?", you said.

"Of course, anything."

You were leaned forward and you did choose a more revealing outfit as usual with your shirt hanging lower, showing off some of your skin below your collarbones.

"How does it feel like having horns? It's probably a weird question.. but do you still feel the weight of them? Is there any feel to them or is it kind of numb like fingernails are?"

You were seriously curious, but it's not like you could've just asked Karlach.

"Oh.", he was obviously not expecting that kind of question. "I don't feel the weight of them anymore, I think I am just too used to it? And they are rather numb but not completely.. How do I describe it?", he was thinking about it for a few seconds while you reached up and touched his horns.

His eyes went wide and you pulled back your hand.

"Sorry, I didn't want to overstep-", you said quickly.

"No, it's fine. It's not uncomfortable, just.. I'm not used to anyone willingly touching my horns." He was looking anywhere but at you, was he flustered?

"You can't tell me no one has been curious about them before."

"That's not it, but tieflings aren't really welcome anywhere and as curious people may be, they are just as scared."

"So you don't mind me touching them?"

He chuckled.

"I don't mind."

You instantly reached up to his horns again and touched them gently. Fingers slowly caressing the rough texture of them.

His gaze was on you the whole time. He looked at you, how you stared at his horns, watching your curious expression and taking in every detail of your face. It wasn't just the wine's fault how warm he felt and he was painfully aware of it. He noticed how your knee still touched his leg and how close you were to him and honestly, he liked it.

His eyes wandered to your lips, your neck, he noticed how you had dressed differently today.

When your hand pulled back he looked back to you, locking eyes with you. Of course you would notice him staring. He blamed himself for letting his eyes wander on your body thinking you wouldn't notice when he would let his self control slip for a moment.

He won't let that happen again.

Or will he?

(AHHHH I HAVE NO WORDS FOR HOW MUCH I LOVE ZEVLOR 😭😭)

Teasing game - pt. 2 (Zevlor x Tav)

part 1 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 6 part 7

The next time you met Zevlor was when you were just buying food for the day.

You were on your way to the merchants, still thinking about what kind of food you were craving. It really shouldn't be a tough decision to just figure out what you wanted to eat, but honestly it felt too easy, too much like a normal life to you.

Your mind was still stuck on trying to survive a war against the Absolute and deciding what to eat was never part of your thoughts back then. It felt like such a luxury problem to you now.

Your mind cleared when you saw Zevlor standing at one of the merchant stands, picking up vegetables.

A smile instantly found its way on your lips when you saw him and you found yourself walking over to him already.

I linked my arm with his, which startled him slightly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.", you said laughing. He smiled at you as soon as he realized it's you.

"You didn't scare me, I was just surprised. It's good to see you." His gaze fell onto your arm linked with his, but he didn't comment on it. "I guess you are here to buy food, too?"

"Yea, even though I can't really decide on what I want to eat. It really shouldn't be such a tough choice.", you said while you casually gazed around the vegetables the merchant offered. All of them looked fresh and probably tasted just as good as they looked but still your stomach didn't seem to show any interest in them.

"If you don't mind me offering, you are welcome to join me. I am not the best cook, but eating in company is always better than eating alone.", he stated and you couldn't help but be caught off guard by his offer. He was still looking at the vegetables in front of you, which you read as him not seeing it as a big deal, while he was actually just to nervous you might say no, that he couldn't look you in the eyes.

"Sure, I would love to.", you responded once you got over the surprise.

You still had your arm linked with his, which you claimed to be a brave move of yours, when actually he had just startled you with a simple invitation for lunch.

When you arrived at his home you weren't suprised to see it very clean and organized, yet it seemed to hold a certain warmth that made you feel welcomed.

"Do you want to drink something?", he asked after he had put his bag down. When you said yes he took two cups out of the cupboard.

"Water or wine?"

"Water. It's only noon.", you responded laughing.

"Fine, we will save the wine for later.", he laughed and handed you the cup with water.

You blinked a few times taking in what he just said.

"Can I help you with the food?"

"Feel free to just take a seat and relax, it's noting too complicated.", he said as he started cutting some of the food and preparing it.

You did sit down for a few minutes but you were too curious to what he was doing, still looking for inspiration for the next time you couldn't decide what to make.

You walked up behind him, putting your chin on his shoulder to look over it.

He turned his head to the side to look at you and you noticed how close his face was to yours.

"What are you making?", you asked him. It made you nervous how close he was but you weren't gonna back down now.

His eyes stayed on you, locked with your eyes but you noticed how his gaze was falling to your lips for a moment.

"Just a dish, that I learned how to make while traveling. You'll see.", he stated while turning his attention back on the food.

"Are you on the menu, too?", you asked.

He immediately stopped and looked back at you. He seriously didn't trust his ears today.

"Uh-.. what?"

You smiled at him sweetly like your simple question didn't just make his heart stutter and took a step back.

"You heard me."

He paused for a moment, trying his best to remain calm on the outside and find a fitting answer.

"I'm not so easy to chew." He quickly avoided your gaze.

He was in disbelieve, you can't seriously be flirting with him. You are the most beautiful, smart and brave person he knew, so why would you be flirting with him? You obviously had a dozen better options than him.

"What a pity..", you said and leaned against the door frame still watching him.

"Seriously feel free to just sit down and relax, the food will be ready in a few minutes anyway."

"But I enjoy watching you.", you stated.

He laughed to hide how nervous he felt.

Just as he calmed his heart you got him flustered again and he was as thankful as he could be for his skintone perfectly hiding his blush. What was he supposed to do? He tried to focus on the dish he was making while he could feel your gaze on him. You were gonna be the death of him for sure.

"Do you ever knock something over with your tail by accident?", you asked noticing the movement of it while he was leaning over to pick up some of the ingredients.

"It honestly happens more than I would like to confess.", he sounded amused by your questions but he would probably be just as curious. "It usually happens when I trip over something and use it to catch balance."

He looked over his shoulder at you and noticed your eyes taking in his form. If it were for any other person looking at him like that he would have been uncomfortable. It's probably because he saw the genuine curiosity in your eyes and the fact that he knew you wouldn't judge him for anything. Thats something he adored about you. No matter what he did, you were always certain he had a good heart and it showed in the way you treated him.

He noticed your eyes finding his again and you smiled at him.

"Any more questions?", he asked amused.

"Not for now.", you answered.

A few minutes later you were sitting in front of him at the table with the food in front of you. It smelled amazing and you couldn't wait to try it.

"I hope you like it.", he said when you shoved the first bit of it in your mouth.

It seriously was the best meal you've had in a while. Probably the best you ever had, to be honest.

"Didn't you say you aren't a good cook?", you asked in disbelieve.

He nodded.

"Liar."

"Excuse me?"

"This is amazing. Do you seriously think you're not good at cooking?" You couldn't believe it.

He laughed quietly while looking down. You weren't going to get tired of hearing his laugh ever.

"Thank you. I rarely got the chance to cook for anyone else but me, so I'm very glad you like it."

"No, thank you for inviting me." You reached over to his hand and gently held it.

He looked up at you at the sudden touch.

"Anytime. It's much better to eat in good company."

"Very true."

(I just can't stop writing about Zevlor, there aren't enough stories about him fr 😭

I hope you enjoyed the new part! 🧡)

Teasing game - pt. 3 (Zevlor x Tav)

part 1 part 2 part 4 part 5 part 6 part 7

Your friends had decided to not meet at the Elfsong this week, instead you all went camping for a night.

It's not like you went far away, barely outside of the city to be honest.

They had decided for a spot by the water. You could still hear some of the cities noise in the distance but it was unusually quiet to your ears, which was a very pleasant alternation.

It was already late when you met your friends as Astarion wouldn't be able to join otherwise due to the fact he couldn't just step out into the sun as everyone else.

The evening included food, wine, Alfira singing a new song she composed and Wyll trying to teach some of your friends how to dance. The wine didn't make it easier to learn dancing, but it made it much more funny, especially when you all convinced Gale and Astarion to dance with each other. A sight you won't forget for a while.

You looked around and noticed Zevlor sitting on a rock nearby, a cup of wine in his hand and watching the others dance. He had a smile on his lips and seemed to enjoy the sight of the others having fun.

You walked over to him, your own cup of wine in hand.

His gaze found yours while you were approaching him and his smile grew even more.

"Why do I always find you sitting by yourself instead of joining us?", you asked him once you had reached him.

"I am too old, I might break a leg while attempting to dance.", he responded but you noticed his tone indicating he was joking.

"I saw you weilding a sword probably heavier than me just a few weeks ago, so don't try pretending."

He laughed and admitted defeat.

"You caught me. I might just enjoy seeing them celebrate the peace they fought for."

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Not at all, your company is most welcome.", he responded and patted on the rock next to him.

You never planned on sitting next to him and you just continued with your plan, boldly sitting on his lap and leaning your back against his chest.

For a second it felt like he has stopped breathing until you heard him exhale.

You were awfully aware of how tall he was, when even sitting on his lap you were just tall enough to lean your head against his shoulder.

"Please tell me if I am to heavy."

"I assure you, you are not.", he responded.

You still couldn't believe you were actually brave enough to just sit on his lap. The wine surely had his part at it, but you were still surprised.

To say he was shocked wouldn't even be enough to describe it. He couldn't put into words what he felt like when you just sat on his lap as he never would have expected you to. He honestly wasn't even sure why, as there was enough space next to him.

He did hope you couldn't hear his heartbeat as you leaned against his chest as it was beating embarrassingly fast. One of his hands still holding onto his cup of wine he wasn't sure where to put the other one.

Usually it would rest on his lap, but that's where you were sitting. He could be just as bold as you, just putting his hand in your lap, but he didn't want you to be uncomfortable and he was still not aware of the game you were playing.

He suddenly felt a touch on his hand and you pulled his arm around you, looking at his fingers and taking in amount of small scars on them.

You seemed curious about his talons this time, so he was expecting a question from you already, but you were keeping quiet.

The soft touch of your hands on his, your weight against his body and your scent surounding him, you were really testing him today.

His hands had always made you curious so you were glad you got the chance to look at them closer. You kept holding his hand but rested it against your body, when you were done taking a look at it. You could feel the warmth of his body on yours, especially now with his arm around you.

The others were still dancing and singing and you enjoyed watching them while listening to the steady breathing of Zevlor and the way his chest moved with every breath.

"Do you wanna dance?", you asked him while turning your head to look up at him.

"I will have to confess I am not a good dancer.", he responded as his gaze found yours, faces close enough for you to feel his breath on your skin.

"You mean like you said you aren't good at cooking? In that case I don't have to fear my feet being stepped on today."

"Maybe you are right with that." You didn't just hear his laugh but felt it shake through his body.

"Come on then.", you said, standing up and holding the hand that still rested around your waist to pull him with you.

You were sure he would've said no if it weren't for the wine he had.

As expected he danced just fine, gently holding your hand, fingers wandering around your waist. He was holding you like he was too scared you might break if he held you any less gentle.

Sadly you didn't get much time to dance with him as Wyll interrupted you and asked for your assistance to show the others a dance he did teach you a while ago.

He was too excited about it to decline, even though you would've enjoyed dancing with Zevlor some more.

When you were dancing you noticed Zevlor looking rather tense.

You noticed him walk back to the place he was sitting at earlier and gulp down the cup of wine he had left there earlier. The faint smile he had been wearing earlier was gone and a frown showing on his face.

"Someone is jealous.", Wyll whispered to you as you were dancing.

"Huh?"

"Oh come on, you know what I am talking about."

"I'm concerned I don't."

"I'm talking about Zevlor glaring a whole in my back.", he said and laughed.

"I don't think he is jealous."

"Trust me, he is.", he said laughing.

But was he really?

Teasing game - pt. 4 (Zevlor x Tav)

part 1 part 2 part 3 part 5 part 6 part 7

A few more cups of wine had been exchanged among your friends, the mood of the group as best as it could be.

Wyll was still sure that Zevlor had been jealous and I was still sure he wasn't. Nonetheless he is back to his normal self, comfortably talking with the others.

"So, how do you plan on teasing him today?", Astarion said as he approached you.

"Oh, I thought I've done enough for today."

"Honey, you didn't even start. I mean it has been nice if you plan on spending the rest of your life with this little game. Maybe in 10 years you'd get him to kiss you."

You laughed and honestly you agreed to him. Zevlor is probably the most patient man you knew and you never noticed him interested in anyone at all.

"You are probably right.", you responded.

"Darling, you know I am."

But honestly, he wasn't.

You have been thinking about what to do the whole evening, even when most of the others were already asleep, while some of them still quietly talking.

Sleep didn't come easy for you, so as most of the nights you found yourself staring up at the stars with the only difference today being that your head was still spinning from the amount of wine you had.

Sitting up you stared at the water reflecting both the moon and the campfire. You couldn't sleep anyway, so why not go swimming?

You took a few steps away from camp just so you were out of sight, not expecting to see Zevlor there already in the water. His clothes were folded and laying near the water, his hair untied and wet. Some small drops of water were falling down from his hair and running down his back. You should turn around just going back to camp and act like you never saw him here at all. Thats until he turned around, he probably had heard your footsteps.

You turned around quickly.

"I apologize, I didn't plan to stare.", you said.

"It's fine, you probably just felt like cooling down in the water just as I did. I'll be leaving so you can have your turn.", he said.

"No, I don't want to interrupt you. I'll go somewhere else."

Honestly your bravery just left you in that moment. The image of him standing there in the water, the wet skin of his back shining in the smallest amount of light coming from your camp. You hadn't expected the amount of muscles on his body, which was dumb of you as you knew he was very well trained in fighting.

"Well, theres enough water for both of us here. If you don't want me to leave then feel free to join me.", he stated and you could feel his gaze on you.

"Are you sure it's okay?", you asked. You knew he was going to be okay with it, you just tried to keep the conversation a bit longer to collect some of your courage.

"I am very sure it's okay." You could hear the amusement in his tone.

"Fine.", you said and turned around towards him. His lower body was covered by the water, which you were grateful for. Not that you wouldn't have enjoyed the view but you were already overwhelmed by the sight in front of you.

His skin glistening, the drops of water moving along his skin and the way his gaze was on you with the small smile on his lips. You gulped and you knew it was too late to run away now.

He still hadn't turned around and the expression on his face told you he wasn't planning to.

You tried to hide your embarrassment and started undressing. Pulling your shirt over your head, you laid it down next to his clothes and continued pulling off your shoes and pants, leaving you in only your underwear.

His eyes were still on your form and you noticed your cheeks feeling warmer and warmer every second. You usually weren't shy about your body and with the wine running through you, you should be especially bold.

"Sorry, I should have turned around. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable.", he said as he probably had noticed your discomfort. It wasn't that you didn't want him to see you, but still you kept shying away from his glance. You looked in his direction and noticed he had turned around, which gave you the opportunity to fully undress and step into the water.

It felt cold on your skin, which gave a nice contrast to how warm your body felt, the effect he had on you.

You walked into the water, far enough to cover most of your body.

"It's so refreshing.", you sighed.

His eyes landed on you again and he nodded.

"That's true, the fire at camp and the wine had me feeling too warm, that's why I am here too.", he agreed. What he didn't say was that your presence had just the same effect on him.

"Did you enjoy the night?", you asked him. You should be making a move, it's like Astarion said earlier: he wouldn't do anything otherwise. It didn't make sense why right now you felt like a teenager, who is too shy to hold their crush's hand.

"I'm still enjoying the night.", he responded. He took a step closer to you, now standing right in front of you as he looked down on you.

You gulped and tried to look anywhere else but at him, which wasn't easy with him standing right in front of you.

His hand reached for your chin, moving it up so you had to look at him. He leaned closer, bringing his lips close to your ear. So close you could feel his breath on your skin.

"Do you think I am not aware of the game you have been playing with me?", he whispered.

A shiver ran down your spine and you were shocked. So he had noticed.

"I don't know what you mean.", you replied. Your voice barely even a whisper as you were still shocked by how bold he was right now.

"I think you do." He said and looked deep into your eyes. "You should be aware that two can play this game."

You knew what he meant the second you felt his tail on your leg. It wrapped around it and slowly moving up your thigh. He watched your face as your eyes grew wide. He pulled back his tail just moments later, obviously using your teasing game against you.

"Have a good night, my dear." He smiled and leaned closer to press a kiss on your forehead before he moved out of the water. You were frozen in place as you still felt the tingling on your leg, so close to where you wanted him to touch you.

When you finally moved again and turned your head in his direction, he was already dressed and on his way back to camp.

What did you get yourself into now?

Teasing game - pt. 5 (Zevlor x Tav)

part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 6 part 7

Wyll had asked you to attend an event with him.

You weren't entirely sure why he asked you of all people, but you weren't going to question it. After all you were grateful whenever you saw him, he had been busy lately as there was still a lot of trouble to figure out in Baldur's Gate.

The event expected you to at least pretend you were noble with many important people attending. The typical politics event you could imagine, all about sipping expensive wine and acting like you loved everyone while they would talk bad about you the second you turned around.

Obviously Wyll didn't want to attend alone for just these reasons.

You had asked Wyll to help you pick your clothes for that day as you honestly didn't know too much about fashion, so that's why you found yourself waiting in front of the expensive clothing store Wyll had suggested.

You had been waiting for a few minutes when you noticed him approaching you. To your surprise Zevlor was with him.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit late.", he said once he arrived. "I was running into Zevlor and asked him if he wanted to help pick your outfit."

Of course he asked him to join you.

You saw the mischevious smile that danced on Wyll's face and you knew he planned this.

"That's nice, thanks for the help.", you said. "Lets go inside then?"

"Of course.", Wyll said and held the door open for you to step inside the store.

The woman working at the store greeted him cheerfully.

"I have picked a few options already, when I heard you were going to visit my store today. But of course you can feel free to look around the store too!", she said. She had pointed to the changing room in the store, the open door of it showing a few pieces of clothing already in it.

"That's very kind of you, thank you.", Wyll responded.

You soon stepped into the changing room, closed the door and started undressing.

You honestly felt nervous the second you saw Zevlor. His presence alone made you already feel cautious as you didn't know what to expect after your last meeting. Of course you were still enjoying his company, it's just that something changed about it. You knew he wasn't as oblivious of what you were doing anymore and he made you look like a fool with just one simple tease, while you had tried many times to get an reaction from him.

You were sure Wyll had noticed how the air around you and Zevlor had changed so he brought him here with him today.

Grabbing the first option the woman had picked for your clothing, you gulped. The colors of it were simply stunning, the choice of fabric felt amazing but already seeing it in your hands you knew it would be slightly revealing.

You had no choice to put it on as the other options didn't look any different. All well made with stunning colors and fabrics, but all of them showing some skin.

Why were you even nervous about that? It wasn't like Zevlor hadn't already seen most of your skin and it usually wouldn't bother you.

The second you stepped out of the changing room all eyes were on you.

You looked at them expecting some kind of reaction while they took you in.

Being aware of Zevlor's gaze on you, you tried to avoid it especially. You could practically feel his eyes taking in your body. The outfit showed much more skin of your chest than you were comfortable with, the fabric hanging low around your shoulders, while it was tight on your waist.

Honestly it looked stunning, but you couldn't help wondering what Zevlor thought about it, maybe his face would tell you so.

You took a quick look towards him and regretted it immediately. His eyes held an expression you never saw on him and you honestly weren't sure how to read it. He looked serious, when his eyes met yours again.

"It looks good, but I think I saw something over there that would look good too. Feel free to put on the next one while I look for it.", Wyll said and pulled the woman, who worked here with him.

He wasn't even being subtle with trying to set you up with Zevlor and it didn't make your state any better.

"I'll go put on the next one then.", you said awkwardly turning away from Zevlor and hurried back into the changing room.

This is it, the day you would die. Or at least you wished for it right now, as you had no idea how to hide your embarrassment.

The next clothes you put on were at least more covered in the front, yet there was a big cut out on the back, that had to be laced. You tried for several minutes to pull the thin laces in place, yet it didn't seem to work out.

"Are you okay in there?", you could hear Zevlor's voice just as you were about to give up and change into the next option.

"I am fine, but I might need some help with this one."

You knew this was a bad idea.

"Mind if I come in?", he asked.

You felt like your heart was already beating against your ribs just with the thought of him helping you. His hands would be against the skin of your back, fingers lacing the clothes.

"Tav?", he asked again, when you didn't react for a few moments.

"Sure, come on in.", you said.

He stepped in and your eyes met in the big mirror in front of you in the small room you were in.

His gaze wandered over your body and you felt your cheeks heat up just by that look he had.

He noticed the laces you needed help with and his hands found them seconds later. You felt like he was moving exceptionally slow just to make you suffer more.

Everytime one of his fingers brushed against your spine you felt a shiver run through your body. When he felt you shivering he looked over your shoulder and into the mirror to meet your gaze.

"Sorry, I can't fully avoid touching you.", he said.

You knew he wasn't wrong and yet you found his face showing an amused expression. He knew what he did.

"It's no problem.", you responded quickly.

Why did you ever think he would be oblivious to your teasing? This man had lived a few years more than you had and of course he would have his experiences.

He knew how to read people and just because he wasn't usually flirting with anyone doesn't mean he wouldn't be aware of it happening.

You were the naive one for thinking you had the upper hand with the teasing.

You let out a surprised yelp when he suddenly tightened the laces a lot, interrupting your thoughts.

"I apologize, I didn't mean to startle you." He had taken a step forward, now close enough for you to feel his breath on your neck. "Let me know if it's too tight."

"It's perfect like it is right now, thanks for your help.", you said as you quickly turned around to face him. You couldn't stand the feel of his breath on your neck as you feared you would melt right there, but standing so close to him now staring into his eyes wasn't any better honestly. You had grabbed his wrists to get his hands away from your body, feeling overwhelmed by his touch on your back even though you had barely felt his fingertips on you.

His gaze went over your shoulder again, seeing your back in the mirror. He was clearly fascinated by the lace against your skin.

"You look stunning, the color suits you well.", he said and his gaze went to your eyes again.

Your heart fluttered with the compliment and you felt your face heat up again.

"Thank you, Zevlor."

"Anytime."

He stared at you for a few moments, his hand moving a strand of your hair behind your ear and the soft touch of his skin making your face feel warm again.

"If you need help undressing too, you just need to ask.", he said, a small smile showing on his lips as he couldn't hide how amused he was at how easily he flustered you.

"Oh get out now.", you laughed but you felt the deep blush on your cheeks.

He laughed too, as you practically shoved him out of the changing room and slammed the door shut after him. He wasn't sure when the last time was that someone made him feel so alive with just their interactions but he wasn't going to complain. He did enjoy your interactions with him and seeing you so easily flustered by his actions. He was sure he would be enjoying this game.

His favourite haircut (Zevlor x Tav)

You had successfully gotten rid of the goblins threatening the grove and saved Halsin.

Slowly your feet were carrying you back to the grove that afternoon, exhausted from the fighting yet cheerful as you were on the winning side.

When you arrived you noticed the tieflings already busy with packing their few belongings, ready to leave the grove they hadn't really been welcome at.

Zevlor approached you the second you stepped through the gate with the most grateful smile you had seen on him. Usually his expression was more serious and worried as he didn't knew any solution for the goblin problem they had. With that problem gone you had already lifted a lot of weight off his shoulders.

You couldn't help but feel like there is something else that's different about him but you couldn't name it. He wore his armor he had been wearing ever since you met him, his hair still in the usually half tied style. You dismissed the thought as it's probably nothing.

"I can't thank you enough for helping us. It isn't much, but we collected some money for your help.", he said holding out a small bag towards you.

"Keep it. You will need it once you arrive at Baldur's Gate.", you responded, smiling up at him.

He kept silent for a few seconds obviously at a loss for words as he hadn't expected anyone to decline the payment for their help.

"Thank you, really.", he said. His expression showed how grateful he was. "We would like to join your camp for tonight to celebrate you defeating the goblins. Of course only if you want to."

"I would love to celebrate with you. After all I don't know when we will meet again."

Your choice of words made him feel warm. You hadn't said 'if we will meet again' but 'when we will meet again' and it warmed his heart, that you didn't believe in the option of not seeing them again in the future.

"Great, we will prepare for it then.", he said and turned around to go tell the others.

That's when you noticed what was different about him.

His hair was a bit shorter than usual but you wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the way it was cut completely uneven. You had to hold back your laugh as you weren't sure if he has tried cutting it himself or if he was pranked by the children around him.

"Zevlor, wait!", you called him back to you. "May I speak to you in private?"

He seemed surprised by your sudden request, but he still agreed to it.

Your friends went to talk to Halsin, as their priority was fixing the tadpole problem and not Zevlor's haircut.

They had noticed your sympathy with the tiefling paladin, so they didn't even question your request of talking to him alone.

You found yourself in his chambers a minute later, the room looked much more lifeless compared to the last time you saw it and you blamed it on the lack of Zevlor's belongings.

"So, what did you wish to speak about?", he asked curiously once you were alone.

"I apologize for the personal question, but did you cut your hair?"

The nervousness fell from his face immediately and an embarrassed expression showed on his features instead.

"Well, you could say I tried.", he laughed.

"Would you mind if I fix them for you? I know it's none of my business, so feel free to say no."

"I don't mind at all, I'd be grateful to miss the other tieflings hiding their laugh when they notice."

"I'll try my best.", you said laughing and took some scissors out of your bag. "Come sit down, you are to tall for me to reach."

You pulled him along with you over to the chair standing closeby.

He sat down and you moved behind him, taking out the tie, that was holding parts of his hair together. That's when you notice how bad his haircut actually looks like. It was seriously the worst you had ever seen, the sides cut at a strange angle, some longer strands hanging out underneath and at the back of his head his hair was drastically longer than the rest.

You couldn't hold in your laugh.

"Why didn't you ask any of the others to assist you?"

He sighed.

"I didn't want to bother any of them, they already have enough things to do.", he replied as you combed his hair slowly.

"You could have just asked me, you know.", you replied.

Your hands were caressing through his hair, the feeling of it unexpectedly soft between your fingers. You noticed a few shiny silver strands mixing with his mostly dark blonde hair.

"I wouldn't want to bother you any more than I already did.", he said. He had his eyes closed, trying his best to not fall asleep with the feeling of you gently brushing through his hair and your fingers moving along his scalp.

"Please stop thinking you ever bother me. I enjoyed helping you and your people and I do enjoy your company, so feel free to ask next time.", you replied.

Again he noticed how you did make it sound like there was no other option than to meet him again in the future.

He was at a loss for words about your kindness.

"I will keep that in mind."

He kept his eyes closed enjoying the feeling of your hands in his hair, combing it, cutting it, combing again. When you were nearly done you moved in front of him to check if both sides had the same length and he opened his eyes to look at you.

You were too focused to notice which gave him the chance to take in your face. He wouldn't usually be so close to you, so he could memorize every freckle or scar showing on your skin and he just couldn't avoid his eyes.

"Okay, done.", you said far too early for his liking. He could sit here like this for hours.

You were still standing in front of him and you now noticed how he stared at you like his mind was far away.

"Do I have something on my face?", you asked nervously.

He blinked a few times to get back to reality.

"You uh-.. no, it's nothing really.", he replied but kept his eyes on your face.

You felt the warmth of your blush settle on your cheeks, just because he was looking at you like that.

"You are beautiful.", he whispered and you weren't sure if he planned on saying it out loud.

"Oh.. thank you."

You felt your cheeks heat up even more at his compliment and avoided his gaze.

He stood up from the chair and you realized just how close to him you were standing.

One of his hands found the back of your head, holding you in place while his lips found your forehead.

"Thank you for your help again.", he said quietly and took half a step back.

"You're welcome.", you mumbled. Your eyes looked up into his and you noticed how his gaze fell to your lips for a moment. Standing on your tiptoes, one of your hands reached for his cheek while the other one landed on his chest. Your lips were on his just a second later, your eyes closed. His arm reached around your waist to hold you close, while his lips moved in sync with yours. He pulled away too quickly for your liking with a smile on his face.

You were sure your face was a deep red now.

"I better get going, I still need to talk to Halsin."

"Of course. I'll see you later at your camp then.", he said.

You had left and you noticed he hadn't even looked at his hair after you cut it, but you just assumed he thought you did a better job at it than him.

Teasing game - pt. 6 (Zevlor x Tav)

part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 7

You were standing next to Wyll, Zevlor behind you as Wyll had asked him to guard you for todays event for whatever reason. You thought that you could protect yourself pretty well, but you weren't going to question it, as you were always glad knowing Zevlor is by your side.

The event was rather boring as you weren't used to the amount talking and hand shaking you had to do that day. You were glad that Wyll decided to do most of the talking, as you personally didn't really feel welcome here. Knowing these people spent their whole life with these kind of event just seemed utterly boring to you.

You were trying hard to hold back a yawn, sipping on heavily overpriced wine. This surely wasn't your place to be.

Wyll and the people you had been talking to moved away as other people joined their conversation and you honestly had no plan on following behind.

Turning to Zevlor you noticed how his tail was hovering around you, like he was shielding you from other people, but not touching you.

Did he do it the whole time you were here and you just hadn't seen yet?

"I can see on your face how bored you are, do you want me to tell Wyll you aren't feeling well so you can leave?", Zevlor asked quietly, not wanting others to hear.

"I shouldn't leave yet, I barely arrived and I spent a fortune on these clothes.", you replied sighing.

"I'm glad you decided for this outfit, it has been my favourite." His gaze was moving over your body again like he didn't already see you in it. He seemed like he had to memorize every detail about you in these expensive fabrics.

"I'm glad you like it.", you responded. Your face was heating up again and you looked around unsure where to look, trying to escape his gaze that made you feel so many things. You were confused where this game would take you, feeling warm and comfortable in his presence but still excited and nervous whenever you just saw him.

Wyll came back to you, wanting to introduce you to someone and basically pulled you along with him. The next boring conversation happened and it wouldn't be the last one for this evening.

Some hours later you went for the excuse Zevlor had offered earlier, getting tired of the repeating conversations and the ever polite smiles.

When you left the building you felt the cold air of the night. You hadn't noticed how late it was already, the moon up high and just very few people still out on the streets.

A slight shiver went through you as you wrapped your arms around you to keep yourself warm, regret on your mind for not bringing a jacket.

Just as you finished your thought you felt Zevlors arm around your shoulders, his warmth surrounding you and pulling you close to him.

"Can you read my mind or something?", you said laughing.

"No, I just look out for you.", he replied and smiled at you.

You walked in silence for a moment, Zevlor had offered to walk you home and you both enjoyed the peace of the rather quiet night.

Both of you were walking slowly and it felt like you silently agreed on it to enjoy more time spent together.

Your thought was quickly interrupted by Zevlor pushing you to the side and turning around, the sword he had quickly drawn colliding with a dagger that was meant for you.

"The savior of Baldur's Gate, how lovely.", the man in front of you said.

Your outfit wasn't really meant for fighting and you hadn't brought any weapons, so you had to rely on Zevlor for this.

"What do you want?", you said.

"Your head. You killed my family and I will get my revenge now."

"I never killed innocent people, so seems like your family made the mistake to attack me. Just like you did right now.", you responded.

"You will regret this.", he shouted angrily and tried attacking you again, Zevlor easily keeping him away from you, having the man stumble backwards.

"You will join your family soon, no worries.", Zevlor said calmly. He seemed collected. You knew he was in his element here.

He noticed some movement behind him, another person attacking you and he turned to keep them away from you. Keeping two enemies away from you was a rather busy fight, but nothing he hadn't done before. A few moments later both of their dead bodies were on the floor, Zevlor sheating his sword and moved over to you.

"Are you okay?", he asked, looking you all over.

"I'm fine, thank you.", you responded, shock still in your bones.

"Lets get you home quickly."

He had his hand on your back, gently pushing you to get going, obviously worried there could be more enemies.

Nearly at your home was when you noticed he was walking rather tense. You blamed it on his worries, but there was something off.

"Are you hurt?", you asked. You hadn't noticed he got hit, the fight being too quickly done for you to see.

"I'm fine, it's just a scratch.", he responded. His tone telling you it wasn't just a scratch for you.

When you arrived at your home you just pulled him along with you inside your place.

"What are you doing?", he asked as you pulled him inside.

"Do you think you are leaving alone when you are injured?", you replied, rolling your eyes.

"It's really nothing. I've had much worse."

"Show me the 'nothing' then.", you said when you arrived in your living room.

He winced in pain when he was just trying to take off his armor, indicating it surely wasn't nothing.

You moved around him, helping him loosen the buckles holding it in place.

When the armor came off you noticed the blood soaked through the shirt he was wearing under it.

"Seriously, this is what you call nothing?" You would be mad at him if he didn't just save your life.

You pulled his shirt up and he tried his best to lift his arms to take it off.

The wound you looked at reached from his left shoulder to the middle of his chest, the cut not too deep yet enough to bleed heavily.

"Shit, I should bring Shadowheart here, I'm not good at this.", you said, looking at the amount of blood showing on his skin.

"Really, it's nothing. Do you have something to sanitize it and some bandages?", he asked, holding the shirt he was wearing onto his injury to try and stop the bleeding.

You searched your cabinets, finding both items he mentioned.

"Come sit down.", you said, pulling a chair out for him. "This will probably hurt a little."

You sanitized his injury, watching him bite down on his lip to not shout in pain. There were many scars along his body so you were sure he had worse injuries as he mentioned earlier. You felt bad seeing him hurt, with his skin glistening with sweat and his face clearly showing how painful it was.

Once you were done sanitizing, you started wrapping the bandages around him, careful not to touch his injury while standing in front of him between his legs. His tail found its way around you again, comfortably resting on your waist.

You could feel his exhausted gaze on you, while you finished wrapping the bandages, securing them so they won't move.

"All done.", you said, one hand resting on his not injured shoulder, the other one wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Thank you again for saving me."

"No need to thank me, you have done the same more than once before." His eyes were on you, his hand catching yours and bringing it to his cheek, leaning his face into it. "Thanks for cleaning my injury for me."

"It's the least I could do."

His eyes closed as he leaned his face into your palm, he looked incredibly tired.

"I hope you know I won't let you go home like this.", you said.

His eyes opened again and looked up at you.

"Honestly, I was hoping you would say so, I am too exhausted to move much.", he admitted slightly embarrassed.

"My bedroom is over there, make yourself at home, I'll sleep on the couch."

"Absolutely not. I won't claim your bed when you'd have to sleep on the couch just because of me.", he said.

"Stop being so stubborn, you saved my life and you will have my bed for tonight. It's the least I can do.", you replied.

"Share it with me then. I promise I'll keep my hands to myself."

You were surprised by his request but if that's the compromise he would agree to, you weren't going to complain.

"Okay, fine.", you said, locking eyes with him.

"Thank you." He looked at you with a tired smile on his lips, yet his eyes showing his affection for you.

"I even lost my chance to tease you today due to the fighting.", he said, his smile growing a bit wider.

"There's more days to come, I don't think you need to worry about that.", you said avoiding his gaze.

You both kept silent for a second, your eyes finding his again, your face heating up when you noticed just how close you were. You still stood between his legs, him sitting in front of you and his tail curled around your waist. You weren't sure what to do, yet it wasn't uncomfortable to just stand there and look into his eyes while being close to him.

"Are you finally going to kiss me?", he asked.

Your eyes went wide while he just kept looking at you, waiting.

"Close your eyes."

He did as you said, still waiting. You weren't sure why a simple kiss made you so nervous.

Your hands were on his cheeks as you leaned closer, chewing on your bottom lip. When you finally placed your lips on his, it felt like your heart jumped. His lips instantly moved with yours and his hands were on your hips, pulling you even closer.

Your hands moved into his hair, gently holding onto it.

He pulled back a few seconds later, smiling up at you, his face showing his affection towards you but you couldn't help but notice the tired expression on it.

You moved some strands of hair that had loosened back behind his ear.

"We should go to sleep, you look exhausted.", you said, taking a step back, your hand finding his and pulling him along to your bedroom.

"I'm never too exhausted to kiss you, you know."

"You'll have plenty of time for that when you wake up tomorrow.", you responded.

"I'll hold you to that."

Selfish (Zevlor x Tav)

You were getting so tired of Zevlor's behaviour. Yes he was patient, yes he was selfless and mostly thought of himself as unworthy of love and affection no matter how much you tried to convince him. You had tried multiple times, at the tiefling party back at the grove after a few glasses of wine, after you safed him from the mindflayer colony and had asked him to join your camp and now after fighting the Absolute you were trying again.

You wanted this man and you had told him you wanted him not just once, yet he still refused to have you. Not because he didn't want to, but he repeatedly told you, that you shouldn't be wasting time with an old man like him. You were furious, he wasn't a waste of time in any kind of way and you wanted him to know that.

"For gods sake, why can't you just do what you want? Be selfish for once! I beg you.", you shouted in his face, hands colliding with his chest in an attempt to shake him out of that attitude.

He grabbed your wrists, holding them while he looked at you for a moment. In his eyes you saw his inner conflict, being selfish isn't something that had been part of his life. You understood why it was making him struggle, breaking through old habits.

"If you don't want me then just say so and I will stop bothering you.", you finally said when he didn't react.

"You know it would be a lie, but you deserve better.", he said, his eyes telling you he truely believes it.

"There is no better, I want you and not anyone else who you think is a better match."

"The gods really are testing me today..", he says, his wrists still in his hands, your hands still on his chest.

"There is no god testing you, this is your choice and I didn't think loving me would be such a tough choice." You felt heartbroken, it didn't make sense to you. He already said it would be a lie to say he doesn't want you, so why won't he just have you? "I got it, Zevlor. I won't ask again."

You tried pulling your hands back, but he didn't let your wrists free. Eyes tearing up you looked down just to have your hair fall before your eyes. You didn't want him to see you cry in front of him now.

"Look at me. Please.", he said quietly. He had already noticed your eyes tearing up before you even avoided your gaze. He always noticed the smallest changes in your mood.

Shaking your head you refused to look up, trying once again to pull your hands out of his.

When he noticed you weren't going to look at him, he kneeled down, knowing he could look beyond your hair that way and looked up at your face. Tears were falling to the floor and it shattered his heart.

"Please don't cry, I just want you to be happy."

"Then you would've kissed me by now."

He keeps looking up at you, deep in thoughts for a moment before you notice him standing up. His grip on your wrists finally loosened only for his hands to land on your cheeks, lifting up your face to look at him.

Thumbs wiping over your cheeks, collecting your tears.

Finally he leaned closer, lips hovering over yours.

"Are you sure?", he whispered.

"Did I sound unsure to you?"

You heard him quietly chuckle.

"No, you didn't."

His lips finally found yours and a sigh escaped you. Your eyes closed, your hands on his chest and lips slowly moving against each other. Your hands grabbing onto the fabric of his clothes, scared he might break the kiss just yet, while his hands wrapped around your waist.

He easily lifted you up, breaking the kiss for a moment just to carry you to your bedroom, laying you on your bed while leaning above you.

"Are you really sure?", he asked again.

You rolled your eyes. He was acting like you didn't shout it into his face earlier.

"Less talking, more kissing please.", you responded, pulling him closer to you.

"As you wish, don't say I didn't warn you.", he said smiling while his fingers found their way under your shirt, his lips on your neck and you could feel his teeth slightly tease your skin.

'Don't go on that date.' (Zevlor x Tav)

You were sitting with your friends, sharing drinks, talking, catching up on life.

It has been a few months since you defeated the Absolute and life has been fairly normal lately.

And as life goes on, you had a date that evening.

A few days ago you were out buying food and found yourself in conversation with a man that asked you out on a date after talking to you for a while.

You had been unsure if you should go on the date.

Of course he had been nice and you should probably start dating again as life is back to normal, yet you were hesitant. You had feelings for Zevlor ever since you had helped the tieflings at the grove and your feelings just grew the more you got to know him. It's not like you hadn't told him. He knew and he rejected you.

Even though you knew he didn't reject you because he wasn't feeling the same, you weren't going to beg for his love. Your pride telling you he would either fight for you or you were going to move on and going on a date with someone was step one of moving on, right?

"I'll have to leave early today, still have to get changed.", you said standing up.

"Have fun on your date!", Shadowheart said and you heard her mischevious tone.

"You are going on a date?", Zevlor said and the mood in the room suddenly changed. It felt like the temperature in the room had dropped and no one dared to speak a word.

Most of your friends knew of your feelings for Zevlor, what you weren't aware of was they knew of Zevlor's feelings for you, too.

"Yea, someone asked me out a few days ago.", you responded not looking at him. Why was he even asking? "Have a nice evening everyone."

With that you grabbed your bag and were out of the door.

Why did he seem so shocked? Did he really think you were going to wait forever until he was finally making up his mind?

You hurried home as it started to rain, covering your hair with your coat to keep your hair dry.

When you were home you quickly changed your outfit, looking into the mirror.

Fingers moving along the fabric of your clothes trying to smooth it on your body.

What was it about you, that Zevlor didn't want? Was it really just his selfless attitude or was something wrong with you?

You were shaking your head, it wasn't the time to think about this, you had to get ready and you won't let this ruin your day.

You heard a knock on your door a moment later.

Moving over to open the door only to be surprised by Zevlor standing there.

He looked out of breath like he had been running to your home, small drops of water running down his hair and dripping down. The rain had soaked through his clothes, his wet hair sticking to his face.

"Zevlor? What are you doing here?", you said confused why he had shown up at your door now.

"Don't go on that date.", he said, still trying to catch his breath.

"Why?", you said. He was still out in the rain and you moved to the side and gestured him to come in. He stepped into your door, water dripping onto the floor.

"You know why.", he answered as you closed the door and you kept your eyes on the closed door, not turning to look at him.

"I want you to say it."

Your heart was beating like it wanted to break through your ribs and jump out of your chest.

"I love you. And I was dumb to not say it before.", he said quietly and you felt his gaze on your back.

You turned around slowly. Never would you have guessed he would actually say it. Your eyes found his and you saw he wasn't hesitant anymore. He meant it, he wasn't going to take it back now or run away from his feelings.

"Please don't go on that date. I was a fool and I know that."

"I won't go.", you said. It wasn't a tough decision to make.

He took a step closer to you, his hand slowly reaching for your chin and keeping his eyes on you like he was scared you would run away. You waited, seeing what he was going to do.

"May I kiss you?", he whispered, his face so close to yours, that you could feel his breath. His eyes searching yours for any sign you didn't want him to.

You nodded slightly, waiting for his lips to find yours. And they did.

The moment his lips landed on yours, your head was already spinning. You had been waiting for this moment and for a while you thought it would never happen.

His lips on yours, his hands moving to your waist and he gently pushed you back against the door. Your hands found their way around his neck, grabbing his hair.

He broke the kiss for a second, trying to catch his breath.

"I love you too, Zevlor.", you said, taking the chance while the kiss was interrupted for a second.

His eyes locked with yours and a moment later his lips were on yours again. This time less gentle as he pressed you against the door, pushing your bodies close.

You gasped and his tongue found its way into your mouth, moving with yours and you felt like everywhere he touched you, your skin started burning.

His hands moved to your hips, when suddenly he pulled away from you, resting his forehead against yours.

"I was such a fool. I apologize for not doing this sooner.", he whispered.

"I might need a few more kisses to forgive you."

"We better get started then.", he said smiling and his lips found yours again.

odd request but could you do a zevlor x human reader (age gap? i think YES)

in which hes a little insecure about the reader not wanting to be seen with a tiefling/knowing his species is despised and being afraid you‘ll hate him after people start to treat you differently for your relationship to him

then maybe comforting him and assuring him he deserves all the love <333

Judgement (Zevlor x human reader)

(Thank you so much for your request! I hope you like it and enjoy reading 🧡)

When you woke up that morning you already felt something was missing before you even opened your eyes. The bed was unusually cold and there was no tail wrapped around your leg.

Opening your eyes and pushing your legs out of bed you got up, rubbing your hands over your face to get the tired feeling off of you. When you walked out of the bedroom you noticed him putting on his shoes, his bag with him he was obviously leaving to somewhere.

"Where are you going?", you asked. Your voice still tired from just waking up, your hair probably a mess and most of your clothes still gathering on the floor somewhere in your bedroom.

"I just wanted to buy something for breakfast, but the plan was to be back before you wake up.", he said smiling and walked over to you. His hand moved to rest on your waist, his lips finding yours.

"Let me join you, I'll just get dressed.", you said and quickly searched for your clothes.

He leaned against the door frame waiting for you until you were dressed, smile on his face while he watched you.

Once you were done you stood before him, taking his hand.

"Lets go."

Hand in hand you walked towards the stores, enjoying the feel of palms pressing against each other, both a smile on your face.

Thats until an old woman in front of you dropped her bag when she saw you two. Zevlor reached to pick it up instantly, offering help whenever he got the chance to, when she suddenly started screaming.

"Get your hands off my bag, devil!", she screamed. "And you better get your hand off of them too! You should be ashamed, obviously manipulating someone so much younger to be with you!"

She pulled on your arm, Zevlor's hand instantly fell from yours and you looked at him in shock. He was too stunned to even say something, to even move.

You freed your arm from her grip, moving closer to Zevlor again.

"He is no devil and I assure you he did not manipulate me. You should know better than to judge so easily.", you shouted angrily, grabbing his wrist and pulling him along.

He followed you but he seemed so deep in thought you weren't sure if he lost his mind on the way.

When you got back home and the door closed behind you was when he finally did speak up.

"We should end this.", he said, looking at the floor with no emotion showing on his face. His face was blank and you just wished to be able to look into his mind.

"What?"

You looked at him in disbelieve. Was he really considering ending your relationship just over some strange woman?

"She wasn't wrong. I am a tiefling, no human and I am much older than you are."

"I am aware, so why do you want to end this?", you asked him.

You knew who he was and that was exactly who you fell in love with.

"You should not be seen with someone like me."

"Oh, you mean someone caring and gorgeous and reliable and strong..-"

"No, I mean someone old and with horns, tail and claws. Someone who you will be judged for.", he said as he has turned his back to you.

"You know, you see the problem while I see the solution it offers as well. Tieflings live longer than humans do, so the problem you have with our age difference just solved itself.", you walked closer to him, your hand reaching for his shoulder, trying to offer some comfort to him.

"It doesn't change the judgement you will face because of me.", he turned just enough to look at you, his face showing how conflicted he felt. He wanted to be with you but he didn't want to bring you down. He didn't want people to look down at you for being with him.

"I don't care for people's judgement. I'd rather be by your side and get judged then be by anyone elses side."

"You don't know how it is to be constantly judged wherever you go and whatever you do."

"You are right, I don't know how it is. But I don't want you to face it alone anymore."

His eyes found yours, affection showing through and yet he was still hesitant.

"I know you always want the best for me, but I assure you that you are who I want to be with. You are the best for me and I would rather be judged for who I love, than act like I love someone else just to please other peoples views.", you told him. Your hand moved to the side of his face, gently caressing his cheek.

"You are choosing a life with people staring at you and whispering behind your back. They will treat you very differently just for your hand in mine. Is that really what you wish for?", he asked you, his face concerned.

"You are all I ever wished for and if being judged is the price for it, I will gladly pay it."

"Gods, you don't know what you are getting into.", he said, his hand resting above yours on his cheek.

"I don't need to know, all that matters is that we go through this together. You deserve to be loved and I don't mind our differences. Our hearts beat the same rhythm and thats all that I need."

Your hand rests on his chest and you stand on your tiptoes to push your lips onto his.

He instantly melts under your touch, lips softly pressing against yours, his hand moving around your waist to hold you close.

"Thank you.", he said once you broke the kiss.

"For what?", you asked. Both of your hands rested on his shoulders.

"For reassuring me."

"Nothing to thank me for. I will reassure you as many times as you need me to.", you said smiling. "And you know I can be very stubborn."

I'm not the same anon who requested Zevlor x Human Reader with an age gap but I have a similar idea I want to check with you if I could request! Zevlor accidentally find out that Human Reader is insecure about the age gap & being human. You're aware about how different you are from him & told their friend that you wondered about even being seen as a potential romantic candidate let alone actually having a chance with HIM. He would be surprised that you're worried about that too & he has the courage to confess knowing you like him too! Please tell me if you're not interested! Thanks!

(This idea is so cute, I loved writing it!! Hope you enjoy reading 🧡)

Eavesdropping (Zevlor x Human Tav)

Zevlor stopped before stepping around the corner, when he heard your voice. He wasn't sure why, but still he was standing there, listening to you talk.

"You're naive if you think he just sees you as a friend.", Karlach said.

"That's part of the problem. I might be naive, I am too young and I am human. My kind usually despises tieflings, so why would he even consider me as anything more than a friend.", you said.

"Listen, Zevlor probably bathes in his selfpity just like you do, pretending he isn't good enough for you. He would probably say he is too old for you and how he doesn't want you to be judged for being with a tiefling."

He knew how right these words were, Karlach wasn't talking to him, yet her words struck right through him.

Yet what he heard before that made his heart stutter, his palms feeling sweaty. You were just as conflicted as he was. Your insecurities mirroring his and it made him feel more confident to tell you how he felt.

He quietly took a step back to the door he had stepped through earlier, opening and closing it a bit louder so it seems like he had actually just entered the room now.

He stepped into sight, seeing Karlach and you sitting on your bed. Both yours and her eyes were on him and you quickly avoided them again.

"I'll get going, see you later.", Karlach smiled at you and gave you an encouraging smile.

When she walked past him, she nudged him with his elbow and he was aware what she wanted to tell him with it.

He walked closer to you, your eyes hesitantly looking up to him.

"Do you mind if I sit with you?", he asked.

You patted on the bed next to you and waited for him to sit down.

He did and gently took your hand in his. His thumb caressing the back of your hand and his gaze was on your hand in his.

"I have to tell you something.", he said quietly, his heart still beating too quickly and he hadn't felt this nervous in years.

"Oh, sure.. go ahead.", you looked up at him, enjoying the touch of his hands.

"I know I am much older and not of the same kind as you.. and still I can't help but feel myself drawn to you. I don't want to continue pretending I have no feelings for you."

His eyes were locked with yours, your own eyes wide and you couldn't believe your ears.

"You-.. you like me?", you asked. You needed the reassurance to know that your ears were working correctly.

"Yes, I like you. I would use the word 'love', but I know it easily scares off people, so lets pretend it's not that.", he said, smiling and waiting for a response from you.

The next moment your arms were around his shoulders, throwing yourself in his arms, embracing him.

"I love you, too. And I'm not scared to use that word, it is what I feel.", you whispered.

You felt his arms around you, pressing you closer to him. He was holding you close to him for a few moments, both of you breathing steadily, hands caressing each others backs.

You loosened the embrace, staying close to him, but moving away far enough to look into his eyes. One of your hands moved to his cheek, slowly caressing it.

You noticed his gaze falling to your lips for just a moment and a smile formed on them.

"Yes, you can kiss me.", you said.

He smiled too, leaning closer.

"Already reading my mind, I see."

His lips landed on yours, moving slowly, gently.

You sighed and closed your eyes. You had been waiting for this moment for a while and it felt much better than you would have ever imagined it.

theres a lot of zevlor fics out there with an age gap btwn him and tav, but i'd like to see your take with him being in a relationship with tav who is around his age (or even older lmao).

maybe the both of them have given up on finding the person they want to settle down with. tav's party members act was wingmen to get a more pessimistic and grumpy tav to finally shoot their shot. (they all have seen they way the two of them look at eachother, its almost worse than watching two teenagers trying to confess to each other.)

(Thank you so much for your request!! 🧡 I loved the idea and just had to write this at work rn 😂 (don't tell anyone)

I hope you enjoy reading!)

'You feel like home.' (Zevlor x Tav)

When you arrived at the grove and you saw Zevlor knock out Aradin with a single punch, you knew you would like him.

He had worry and anger written on his face, mad about Aradin getting his people in danger and you could perfectly understand him.

Talking to him felt easy, both understanding each other perfectly. You weren't sure if it is due to you being around the same age than him or not, but you both understood life. The troubles it brings, the worries for the people you wanted to protect and the anger at anyone bringing danger to it.

You often found yourself in conversation with him, feeling comfortable whenever you heard his voice.

After defeating the goblins and bringing back Halsin you were sad you had to leave the tieflings company.

You made it your goal to meet them again when you arrived to Baldur's Gate but you weren't aware what to expect on your way there. The shadow cursed lands were worse than you expected and when you noticed the familiar tieflings on the ground, only imagining the fight that happened, you were alarmed. The few people at Last Light Inn told you what happened and you were shattered. Your goal for now was to find and save Zevlor and the other refugees from Moonrise Towers, which was a task you knew would be a challenge.

You rescued Rolan, being as reckless as he could be, found his siblings and a few others at the prison in Moonrise towers, yet Zevlor being nowhere to be found. The other tieflings told you he was imprisoned somewhere else and your worries made you feel sick.

When you did find him, you couldn't help but feel relieved, the fight against the few mindflayers a short one as you both fought side by side like you had never done something else.

Zevlor's face showing how shattered he was to have failed to protect his people.

Your hand landing on his shoulder, trying to offer some comfort.

"I know how you feel, but it's not your fault. The Absolute is dangerously convincing, you shouldn't blame yourself."

"I have no right to ask, but the others.. what happened to them?", he asked quietly, like he had no strength left in his voice.

"I saved as many as I could find, they are at Last Light."

"Thank you, again."

After the fight with Ketheric you convinced Zevlor to join your camp. Of course you had to basically force him as he saw himself as a burden for you and your party, but after some more reassuring he agreed.

It made you feel excited to get back to camp whenever you were done with a mission and you honestly hadn't felt that way for a long time.

Your friends were getting tired of the way you two obviously had feelings for each other but never talked about it. They saw you both basically act like a couple, talking and laughing, doing tasks together without saying anything and still understanding each other without words. The only thing you both weren't aware of was the glances between you, when the other wasn't looking.

You were sitting next to Zevlor at the campfire, you leaning against him reading the book in your hands. His eyes were on you more than on the book in his hand, his tail curling around you, casually laying on your lap.

To everyone else it would probably be a simple gesture, but out of all of them Karlach knew his bodylanguage told a different story.

"Tav? Can we talk for a second?", she shouted over to you, startling you.

She was standing a few steps away, talking to Shadowheart.

When you stood up, Zevlor reached for the book in your hands before you could even start to look for a spot to put it and you smiled at him, before walking over to Karlach and Shadowheart.

"Are you two going to kiss soon or do we have to lock you in a room together until you do?", Shadowheart asked once you were standing with them.

"What?", you asked, not quite understanding her question.

"You know what I mean, you two are acting like a couple that had been married for years and you can't tell me you aren't aware."

"And his tail is very much telling he likes you, too.", Karlach added.

"It's not like that, we are just friends.", you said.

"Oh come on, you can't-"

"Listen, it's cute that you care, but I assure you it's not like that, we are friends." And with that being said you walked back to Zevlor, sitting next to him again, when he wordlessly handed you your book back. Leaning against him you sighed, confused by what the others were saying.

"Are you okay? You seem tense.", he asked, noticing your mood had changed.

"Yea, I'm fine, no worries.", you assured him and he didn't push you to talk any further. His tail found its way around you again and you couldn't help but wonder if they were actually right about it.

The next days you started feeling more nervous around Zevlor. It wasn't like you were uncomfortable, just that the others had made you aware of feelings you hadn't felt in years. You felt your heart beating faster when you were close to him, your hands hesitant to just touch him like you did before your conversation with Shadowheart and Karlach and your gaze suddenly avoiding his.

He noticed the changes with your behavior, asking himself if he did something wrong, not aware of any situation that could have caused the sudden difference.

"Would you join me on a walk?", he asked you one evening at camp, when he noticed you avoiding him even more.

"Uhm-.. Sure.", you seemed hesitant, gaze on the floor while you both walked away from camp.

"Did I do anything to upset you?", he asked and stopped walking, when you were a good distance away from camp. He was looking for some privacy, hoping for you to be honest with him.

"No, why do you think so?", you asked confused.

"You are avoiding me, today specifically, but you've been different the last few days and I was wondering if I did anything wrong."

"Oh...", you said, pausing and looking at him. "You didn't do anything wrong, don't worry."

"What happened then? If I didn't upset you, what-"

"I like you. And I didn't notice before Karlach and Shadowheart basically told me it was obvious. Honestly I had given up on love years ago and I guess it just felt strange being aware of it suddenly, while it had been so easy to be comfortable with you around.", you confessed, leaving him speachless for a good moment.

"Gods and I thought I made you uncomfortable with getting too close or something.", he sighed relieved. "I feel the same. And I just realized when you took some distance lately. It just feels like home when I am around you and I started losing my mind thinking I did something wrong."

He smiled at you and you noticed all the feelings behind it; relieve, that he didn't do anything wrong, happiness, that your feelings are the same and especially how grateful he felt for finding someone to feel at home with.

He took your hand to pull you closer to him, only letting go of it to let both of his hands rest on your waist.

"I think I should thank the others for making me aware of the feelings we had been dancing around.", you said when your hands rested on his shoulders, smiling at him.

"Thank them for me, too.", he said, before his lips finally found yours.

Your knees were suddenly feeling weak and you were glad for him holding you, lips moving against his gently.

You broke the kiss suddenly, when you heard the others cheering from behind a tree. Of course they were watching you and you felt your face heat up.

"FINALLY!!", you heard Karlach shout.

Zevlor and you both laughing at the situation when you felt his fingers on your chin, turning your face back to him.

"I wasn't done yet.", he said with a smile and his lips were on yours again the next moment.

Teasing game - pt. 7 (Zevlor x Tav)

part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 6

NSFW warning!

(The first time I wrote anything smutty, so be nice 😶 Hope you enjoy reading!)

When you woke up you noticed how much you had moved while you were sleeping. Your head was resting on Zevlors chest, listening to the steady breathing of him. One of your legs was thrown over his while his tail was wrapped around your knee. The blanket was tossed to the side as his body heat was enough to keep you warm.

Honestly you hadn't slept that well in forever.

You lifted your head off his chest to look at his face.

He was sleeping peacefully, his untied hair a mess on the pillow, his arm resting on his stomach. You watched his sleeping form for a moment, glad he was sleeping well, until you tried untangling your leg from his tail.

You barely got him off of you, without waking him up, but you still managed.

Standing up you got out of bed, moving to the kitchen, but not without taking a look back at him.

He was sleeping in your bed. You still couldn't believe it, he was here with you, he had fought for you just yesterday and you had finally kissed.

Walking out of the room you went to your kitchen, preparing something to eat as he would probably be hungry when he woke up.

You were cutting some vegetables, quietly humming a song you heard the other day when you felt strong arms wrap around your waist.

"Good morning.", he said. His voice was still sleepy and rough, his chin resting on your shoulder, arms pulling you close to his body.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?", you asked, leaning back into him.

"I did, until you left the bed."

"I apologize.", you laughed. "I thought you might be hungry when you wake up."

You suddenly felt his lips on your shoulder, kissing up your neck slowly while his hair tingled on your skin.

"Thank you, but that's not really what's on my mind.", he whispered.

You feelt a shiver run through your body and your cheeks heating up.

Turning around in his arms you had your hands against his chest, looking into his eyes.

"Do want me to stop?", he asked, his eyes showing an intensity you hadn't seen on them ever before.

You shook your head and his lips were on yours instantly, hungrily kissing you, his nails digging into the skin of your hips.

He lifted you up, placing you on the counter and standing between your legs.

You gasped and his tongue was in your mouth a moment later.

Your skin felt like it's burning where he touched you, your head already spinning and heart beating faster.

Hands in his hair you tried pulling him even closer. His tail wrapping around your ankle, pulling your leg around him, which you gladly followed with your other leg as well.

A low growl left his throat and made you shudder, his teeth catching your bottom lip making you moan.

His hands were exploring your body, sharp nails tingling across your skin, while hurriedly lifting your shirt, pulling it off your body and throwing it to the floor.

"You don't need to hurry, I don't plan on going anywhere.", you said when his lips moved from yours to kiss along your neck.

His lips leaving you and his forehead was on yours a second later.

"You are right. I apologize.", he said, noticeably out of breath.

"Lets take our time, I've waited for this for a while.", you whispered, playing with his hair.

"You could've just asked and I wouldn't have refused."

You were lifted off the counter, his arms around your waist, your legs still around him, as he carried you back to your bedroom.

"Do you really think I would have just asked? I was considering myself to be brave when I let my leg rest against yours while sitting next to you.", you said laughing as he laid you down on your bed, hovering above you.

"I noticed and it was adorable.", he said smiling before his lips were on your neck again, gently sucking marks on your skin.

Your quiet moans telling him to continue, his skilled hand moving down your body, yet not touching you where you want him to. The action draws a whimper from your lips and he chuckles, his fingers finding the spot you ached to be touched, teasing you through your clothes.

Your hands moved across his body, careful to miss the part of his skin that is still covered in bandages.

He was gently undoing your pants, slowly pulling them down and tossing them somewhere on the ground. Fiery eyes moving over your now naked body.

"Gods, you are beautiful.", he said in awe, admiring the sight in front of him.

You couldn't stand the pause between his touch, grinding your hips into his, a low moan heard from him as he steadied himself above you.

"Zevlor, please.. I need you.", you whimpered beneath him.

"What did you say about taking our time?", he said, chuckling at how eager you are for him.

"Forget about that.", you said. A quiet laugh leaving your lips as you noticed the change he was at fault for.

"As you wish.", he said, going back to kissing you again, his fingers finding your most sensitive spot.

You gasped and he took the chance for his tongue to explore your mouth again, while his fingers continued working on you. One of his fingers pushing inside you, causing you to moan into his mouth.

Your hips moving against his hand, eager to get him to move quicker, searching for the pleasure you craved.

You pushed him off of you, seeing his confused face as he stood up from the bed, not expecting you to drop to your knees in front of him.

Eyes locked with his as your fingers untied his pants, pulling them down and watching his ridged length spring free. Your hands resting on his thighs as your tongue found the tip of his cock, mouth slowly, teasingly sucking on it. Your own pleasure forgotten again as you hear the moan escape his mouth, his hand reaching into your hair. Your tongue swirling around his tip, taking him deeper into your mouth. He tried to hold himself back to not buck his hips into your mouth, but the pleasure overwhelming him. He pushed your mouth onto his length, making you take him even deeper, nearly gagging on him.

His moans got louder, enjoying the feeling of your warm mouth on him, grabbing your hair to hold you back when he felt himself getting close.

You released him from your mouth, getting up from your knees, planting kisses on his body while getting up.

He pushed you back onto the bed, to eager to hold back any longer as his tail wrapped around one of your ankles again, pulling your legs open for him. One of his hands steadied himself next to your head, your arms around his neck.

You felt the tip of him at your entrance, his eyes looking into yours like he was asking for reassurance.

"Please, I want you.", you begged him.

His lips finding yours in a gentle kiss as he slowly pushed inside of you. You felt every ridge on his length, stimulating you in the best way possible.

He pushed into you deeper and deeper, stretching you and his nails digging into the skin of your thigh, gasping when he was completely inside of you.

"You feel so good around me.", he moaned into your ear, his head falling onto your shoulder.

He pulled back slowly until just his tip was inside of your warmth, slowly pushing back inside and giving you time to adjust to his size.

"Zevlor, please..", you moaned, wanting him to move faster. He understood what you asked of him, thrusting into you a little faster, feeling you clench around him.

The ridges pushing inside of you making your head spin and you gasped when you felt his teeth digging into your shoulder, leaving a mark on your skin. The slight pain definitely adding to the pleasure you felt and you moved your hips against his thrusts.

His tail had moved up your leg, now wrapped around your thigh. Curiously you let your fingers wander over it, feeling the bumps on it.

His thrusts got a little more unsteady and his hand grabbed your wrist to pull it away from touching his tail.

"Too sensitive, don't touch me there if you don't want me to cum right away.", he moaned, locking eyes with you.

"I'm close, too. Let me touch you.", you replied and he released your wrist. The ridges on his cock were close to driving you over the edge and your fingers ghosted along his tail again.

His eyed closed and his mouth was on your neck again while he felt you clench around him unregularly. His thrusts became faster as he was close to his release, making you come apart around him.

Your moans in his ear, your hand on his tail and your warmth clenching around him were making him cum with a low growl. Thrusting into you a few more times before his movements stilled, his body resting against yours.

Your hands moving a few strands of hair from his sweaty forehead, while you came down from your high, placing a kiss onto his lips. He was breathing heavily just like you.

"Gods, I love you.", he whispered while he looked into your eyes.

"I love you, too.", you said smiling. Your body felt heavy, the pleasure washed away, leaving you feeling relaxed and exhausted.

He was lying down next to you, looking at you with a smile.

"If you dare tease me again I won't be holding back.", he said.

"Is that a promise?", you replied, grinning mischeviously.

"You'll have to find out."

He pulled you into him again, your head resting comfortably against his chest as he pulled the blanket over you.

Hearing the beating of his heart and his steady breathing, you could stay like this forever.

Fight training (Zevlor x Tav)

NSFW warning!

(Thanks to @ada-melodies & @lolliputian for putting the idea on my mind 👀

I hope you enjoy reading!)

The Absolute was defeated and life was feeling a little more normal again but you still felt the urge to continue training your fighting skills as there would someday be a need for it.

Zevlor had the same thoughts, just because he isn't a soldier anymore, doesn't mean he had no reason to keep up his training, so he did.

He had found himself training almost every morning, most others still sleeping while he dragged himself out of bed, picking up his sword and heading to the spot he trained at.

Honestly he was a little more motivated to get there lately, as for the last few days you had been joining him.

He felt glad to have a training partner that actually put up a good fight. Back when he was a Hellrider and training the soldiers, some of the fights were rather short and boring, his opponents not really keeping up with his skills.

But you matched his talent quite well, the advantage he was holding in strength you easily matched with the quick movements of yours, that often looked like you were dancing around him.

When he arrived at his training spot you were already there, which was very unusual. He was normally the one getting up early and going to train when nightmares had him wake up.

"Good morning.", he said and you turned around. His breath hitched in his chest by the sight before him. Your hair was messily tied up, some strands loosed from the tie and hanging in front of your forehead, your skin shining in the early sunlight and the way your chest was raising quickly as you were out ot breath.

"Good morning, Zevlor.", you said with a smile, arm wiping over your forehead, collecting the small drops of sweat that formed. "I hope you don't mind me on your training spot when you weren't here."

"Not at all, feel free to train here whenever you like.", he responded, smiling back at you then quickly removing his eyes from you as he found them moving over your body.

You gave him a few minutes to warm up his muscles before actually fighting and he was doing his best to keep his eyes off of you as his thoughts were definitely running wild today. Thoughts he knew shouldn't be there for a friend he was training with.

When he was all warmed up, you started training together, swords clashing, steps echoing from the walls and breaths heavy.

Both of you were focused on every step the other did, carefully shifting your weight to not lose balance. An hour easily passed, his shirt completely soaked from the sweat of the training and the sun shining down on them.

He pulled off his shirt when you took a short break, wiping his face with it and throwing it to the side.

You tried not to stare yet failed miserably, his red skin shining in the sunlight, ridges and scars visible on his body and you felt heat crawl into the skin of your cheeks. Quickly avoiding your eyes you went to grab some water from your bag, gulping down some of it while you tried to calm your nerves. 

You had to focus on the fighting, it wouldn't be the first time you lost your training sessions because his body was distracting you and it was starting to get obvious.

He picked up his sword again and you did the same, getting ready for the next fight.

Feet quickly moved towards each other, both of you focused on every small movement the other one made. For a while you managed to keep your eyes off of his muscles, that flexed with every swing of his sword.

Your gaze wandered across his chest for just a second, but long enough for his tail to wrap around your angle and pulling you off balance. A moment later you found yourself with your back on the floor with Zevlor kneeling above your body, one hand on the floor next to your head to steady himself, the other on his sword that was sticking in the ground on the other side of your head.

Your breath hitched in your throat as you stared up at him.

His eyes intensely locked with yours, breathing heavily while sweat was running down his body.

"How is it, that every time I take of my shirt you lose the fight?", he said, his tail slowly moving up your leg, now wrapped around your thigh.

"Let me take mine off and we will see how long it takes until you are on the ground beneath me.", you whispered.

He laughed and stood up, holding his hand out for you to pull you up.

Instead of taking it, you were sitting up, pulling off your shirt and placed it into his hand.

The grin on his face was gone and he looked at you in disbelieve. He wasn't expecting you to actually do that and he was trying his best to keep his eyes off of your glistening skin.

Your shirt was thrown to the ground next to his.

"Lets see if you are right about it then.", he said, going back into position for fighting.

The fight was equal, both of you trying to focus on each others movements rather than their body, both of you equally distracted.

That's until an especially strong hit of him had your sword flying backwards. He was already sure he had won the fight, so his balance was already off. You placed a kick right into his chest, having him tumble backwards. Sprinting forward you kicked the sword out of his hand and used to your advantage, that his balance was off, pushing him down on the ground.

Pulling a dagger you carried, holding it to his throat while you kneeled above his body, your hand pinning one of his wrists to the ground, the other one under your knee.

Both of you breathing heavily again, your hair falling in front of your face and eyes locked with his.

His eyes wide as he looked up at you.

"So, do you believe me now?", you asked, smile on your face, that you actually had won.

"Fine, you won.", he said, suddenly serious while he was looking into your eyes.

You moved the dagger away from his throat, releasing his hands, ready to stand up. Before you even got the chance to lift yourself off of him, he grabbed your wrist, turning both of you around to he was above you again.

He leaned down and hungrily pressed his lips on yours while his body pinned you to the ground.

Your lips moved against his, hands were on his body a moment later, moving across his warm, glistening skin.

His hips grinding into yours and you could feel his hard length through your clothes. You were gasping by the sudden friction of his hips between your legs, which gave him a chance to push his tongue into your mouth. His tongue moving against yours, growl leaving his throat.

His lips moved to your neck, placing kisses and sucking marks into your skin, careful to not actually bite through your skin with his sharp teeth.

Your hands were tangled in his hair, trying to hold him as close to you as you could, while you pushed your hips up into his, searching the feeling of him through your clothes.

He pulled away from you for a moment, looking down at you with an expression you hadn't seen on his face before, his eyes looking darker than usual.

"Do you want me to stop?", he asked you breathlessly.

"No and if you don't start touching me right now I might lose my mind.", you responded, hips eagerly pushing against his again.

He laughed and pushed his hand into your pants, rubbing over your folds, feeling how wet you are for him.

A moan left your lips and your head felt dizzy by the sudden pleasure you felt.

His fingers rubbing against you, skilled hands finding your clit with ease, while his eyes were locked with yours.

He enjoyed seeing the pleasure his fingers brought you on your face, hearing your moans.

One of his fingers pushed inside of you, careful not to hurt you with his claws. His finger moving in and out of you while his thumb rubbed circles on your clit. Another finger pushed inside of you, stretching you slightly when he pushed both of them inside of you.

"Zevlor, it feels so good.", you whimpered, pushing your hips up so his fingers push deeper inside of you. "Please.."

"Please what?", he said. A smile formed on his lips, he enjoyed seeing you so eager for him. "Tell me what you want."

His voice made your body shudder and he felt you clench around his fingers, pulling them out of you suddenly.

You gasped, missing his touch on you.

"I want you inside of me. Please take me."

"As you wish."

He pulled down your pants, revealing your wet folds to his eyes. Taking in the sight in front of him he leaned back to open his own pants just enough to pull his length free.

"Have you been with a tiefling before?", he asked, rubbing his length along your folds, coating him with your wetness.

"No, you're the first.", you said, breathlessly waiting for him to be inside of you.

"Let me know if it's too much.", he said and you felt his tip push inside of you, stretching you in the best way possible.

He steadied himself on his arms beside your face, slowly pushing inside and giving you time to adjust.

The ridges along his length adding to the pleasure and you bucked your hips impatiently. He pushed your hips back down, holding them still.

"Patience, my dear.", he whispered in your ear, pushing further into you, teasingly slow.

You couldn't help but whimper when he was finally fully inside of you, fitting into you perfectly.

He placed a kiss under your ear, tongue moving over your skin while he pulled his length out of you slowly.

Your fingers were digging into his shoulders, trying to get him to hurry up, aching for the pleasure he could give you.

He started thrusting into you slowly, gently and you felt every ridge on his length sliding back into you. His breaths turned into moans and growls next to your ear.

Both of his hands were still next to your head, yet you still felt something rub on your clit. Looking down you noticed his tail had curled around his body, pressing onto you in slow, teasing circles.

"Gods, you make me feel so good.", you moaned, eyes closing and enjoying the feeling of him inside of you.

"I'll make you feel even better.", he said, thrusting into you faster and placing kisses along your neck.

You let out a surprised yelp by the sudden change, your moans echoing through the air.

His tail continued rubbing on your clit and you started to feel dizzy.

"Zevlor, I'm close.."

His thrusts got harder, his length pushing into you quickly and he felt your body starting to shiver.

You clenched around his length, body shuddering underneath him and short quick moans and gasps reached his ears.

His thrusts slowed when he reached his own climax, growls mixing with your moans as he spilled inside of you.

You pulled his face to you, his lips on yours in a sloppy, wet kiss, both of you still coming down from your pleasure, both of you breathing heavily.

His thrusts stilled and he rested part of his weight on you.

"We should train like this more often.", he said, a quiet laugh heard on his voice.

"I wouldn't dare complain about that.", you replied and a sigh leaving your lips.

Your writing is soooo good! I've loved everything you've done .

Could I give a prompt of Zevlor X Tiefling Tav ( purple Tielfing )

That after she's rescued the tieflings from moonrise and discovered that Zevlor is missing. There heart breaks as they think they now have forever missed the chance to tell him there true feelings 💔

But they take that anger and sadness and fight kethric and when they find zevlor and maybe bring him with them to finish the fight ( I wish we could bring him with us in game )

Anyway they get back to camp and Tav ignores everyone and looks for zevlor and when they find him they hug him and there tail wraps around his.

(Thank you so much for the request!! I hope you like it 🧡)

Lost Chance? (Zevlor x Tiefling Tav)

You sneaked into the prison area of Moonlight Towers, looking for the tiefling refugees here.

When you heard what happened it was out of question for you to get them out of here, they were your kind after all and you grew fond of them, sharing the same burden of judgement the people held against tieflings.

You still didn't believe that Zevlor just betrayed them. There had to be more to it than just that and you had to talk to him about it.

When you found the prison cells you were happy to finally have found them. Lia stood at the front of the cell, telling you to talk to the gnomes in the other cell as they seemed to plan something.

And so you did. It wasn't easy to find a way to talk to them without the prison guards starting to be suspicious of you but you managed. Wulbren had asked for something to break through the walls of the cell and you threw an heavy weapon you had with you inside the cell, careful not to be caught in the act.

You were sure you had to fight the guards around anyway so you thought it would be a good option to use as a distraction of what the gnomes and tieflings did in the cells.

The gnomes had quickly destroyed the wall in their cell, revealing a tunnel to the tiefling's cell and to a small boat.

They waited before they left, obviously unsure where to go.

Scanning the group of them you didn't notice Zevlor being with them. Was he not here?

"Is Zevlor not with you?", you asked them.

"They brought him somewhere else, no idea what kind of plan they had for him.", Cal responded.

You were stunned and shocked. It couldn't be. Did they torture him? Or kill him right away? Your mind was wandering on all the worst scenarios and you couldn't stop feeling helpless.

He couldn't be dead. It just couldn't be.

It would mean you missed your chance to tell him how you felt for him.

You didn't know him for a long time, yet you couldn't help feeling warm whenever you talked to him, feeling comfortable yet nervous, feeling your heart beat faster when he just looked at you. There was no way you could deny your feelings for him and right in that moment you felt lost.

Zevlor wasn't here and knowing how cruel the Absolute was it wouldn't be a surprise to you if they had killed him. And realizing that was like a hit in the stomach.

You missed your chance.

Or that's what you believed when you were fighting Ketheric. Your anger and frustration obviously showing and it made the fight on the roof of Moonrise towers a short one, when Ketheric disappeared into the Mindflayer colony.

Following him you noticed the amount of tunnels formed inside of the colony and finding the way towards Ketheric would probably take a while.

Stumbling through the many tunnels and finding one dead end after the other you walked into a room with some of the pods you had been in as well a while ago. The first one of them showed a Mindflayer while the next one was empty.

When your eyes saw the third one you couldn't believe your eyes for a second. Zevlor was stuck in there.

He was alive.

Your hands found the mechanism opening the pods in no time and you didn't care about the Mindflayers you had to fight. You would fight hundreds of them if you had to.

The fight was a short one, Zevlor fighting with you and his blade easily cutting through the enemies.

Still in disbelieve you watched as his blade cut through the last enemy. He turned around to you, blood covering his face aside his tired expression and yet you couldn't find him any less attractive than the last time you had seen him.

"Thank you. I really thought it was over for me.", he said, his face showing relief.

You tried holding back any emotions trying to run through your body, after all you still had to fight and defeat Ketheric.

"I'm glad we have found you. I was worried when I didn't see you with the others.", you said.

"The others.. what happened to them?"

His voice was heavy with guilt and you were curious to hear his part of the story once you got out of here.

"I saved all I could. Some where in prison here but they are safe."

"I have no right worrying about them but I can't thank you enough for saving them once again."

"Would you join me in the next fight? I could use your help.", you asked him and hoped he won't refuse. You couldn't stand the thought of him being out of your sight again.

"I don't think this is a good idea, the Absolute made me turn against my people once already and I don't want to find my blade in your back.", he said, his face showing worry and defeat.

"I trust you. Please join us.", you said. Your eyes were locked with his as he tried to find a way to say no to you. He looked at you for a few seconds before a sigh left his lips.

"I will do my best to assist you.", he finally replied and you were happy to have him with you in the upcoming fight.

Knowing him by your side made you feel at ease and even more so when you defeated Ketheric.

It was a lot to take in, yet you pushed most of the information to the back of your mind, your priority was to have a chance to talk to Zevlor outside of the Mindflayer colony you were still in.

Your camp was set up inside of Moonrise towers today as you successfully defeated all the enemies inside of here.

Aylin and Isobel were the first to approach you, Jaheira tried a moment later, yet you turned them down and told them you would talk later.

You just wanted to find Zevlor right now.

He was standing outside of the door to Moonrise towers, looking into the distance while he was obviously deep in thought with his back facing you.

"Zevlor.", you called out his name and he turned around. Thats when you collided with his chest, the impact made him take a step back or he would have fallen, your arms around his waist and your face burried in his chest.

You stood there for a moment when you felt his arms slowly close around you, pressing you closer to his body and his head resting against yours.

Your tail searched for his, wrapping around it slowly and you felt him do the same. Tails wrapped around each other many times, twisted together like you never wanted to let go of him.

Thats when you couldn't hold your emotions back anymore. You quietly sobbed into his chest and he held you even closer.

"I thought I had lost you.", you sobbed, having a hard time forming words with the sobs shaking through your body.

His hands caressed your back, trying to calm your shaking form and offer some comfort.

"I am here. You saved me again and I can't thank you enough for it.", he whispered into your ear.

He held you like that for a while, chest moving with his steady breathing that camled you down while your sobs became less frequent.

You loosened the embrace, wiping your face and hiding your face from him.

"Sorry, I shouldn't be such a mess right now."

His hands found your cheeks and lifted your face to look at him.

"No need to apologize. You can cry on my shoulder anytime you need.", he said quietly.

Your eyes wandered over his face, blood still clinging to his skin and his eyes full of worry. His thumbs wiped over your cheeks to remove the tears, who were still wet on your skin and you relaxed into the simple caress of his fingers.

"I really thought I had lost my chance to tell you..", you whispered and he looked at you like he was waiting for you to continue talking. "I love you, Zevlor. I know we didn't have much time together and we don't know each other well but I can't help feeling-"

He cut you off with his lips on yours. Your eyes were wide for a moment, trying to realize what is happening before you closed them and relaxed into the kiss. Lips softly moving against each other, his hands still cupping your face, holding you gently while your tails were still wrapped around each other.

"I feel the same.", he whispered when you had parted for a moment, only to find you press your lips onto his again.

A Loyal Customer (Zevlor x Reader (Non Tav))

(I actually dreamed about this the other day and I had to write it 😂 I hope you enjoy reading! 🧡)

You noticed the door open and you stopped sewing for a second to approach the customer. When you noticed the same tiefling that visited a lot lately, you smiled at him.

"Welcome back. What do you need?", you asked him.

"The undershirt of my armor is in shreds again, I hope you can fix it.", he said.

He handed you his folded shirt and he looked rather embarrassed doing so. It wasn't the first time he visited you this week. It wasn't the second time as well, but the third.

"How do you ruin it so often?", you asked laughing while you took the shirt from his hand.

"Fighting, mostly."

He was smiling and waited for you to check if you could fix his undershirt again.

When you unfolded it you weren't sure if you should laugh or cry. The fabric was ripped and part of it was missing completely. There was no way you could fix that.

"I am sorry, but there is no fixing for this shirt. I'll make you a new one.", you said when you put the shreds of fabric that remained of the shirt down and picked up the measuring tape.

"Oh, that's very sweet, but I'll have to admit I currently can't afford a new one. Tieflings aren't really welcome in Baldur's Gate and finding a stable job hasn't been-"

"See it as a gift then. It's against my pride to let my customers walk around with torn clothes.", you said. This was probably part of the reason why you were still working in the smallest space you could find in Rivington.

"I can't accept that, your work is great and you should be paid well for it.", he said, clearly uncomfortable with your offer.

"How do you expect to get a well paying job with an undershirt hanging in shreds?"

He sighed and he knew you got a point. His eyes locked with yours and a smile formed on his lips.

"You are too kind. I will make sure to pay you twice as soon as I can afford it. I promise."

"No, this shirt is a gift, but I expect you to keep coming back once you could afford the high society stores.", you said laughing. "Now let me get started measuring you, I want the shirt to fit."

He joined in on your laugh and took a step closer to you, so you could get started with your work.

"You never told me your name."

"I am Zevlor.", he said and asked for yours, too.

While you told him your name, you measured his arm length and the width of his shoulders.

When measuring his back you noticed something odd about the way his pants fit around his tail.

"Do you wear regular pants with just a hole cut into it for your tail??", you said and your hand was already pulling on the waistband of the pants.

The skin on his tail visibly bruised with the fact that regular human pants weren't made for tails.

He moved away by the sudden touch of your hand on his bruised skin.

"I uhm-.. it's not like I have much choice, tiefling clothes are even more expensive as regular ones and it's not like there is many stores for that, too."

He avoided your gaze, visibly uncomfortable by the fact he doesn't even have pants that properly fit him. Arriving in Baldur's Gate really wasn't going easy on him, with most of his belongings gone and barely any money left.

"Stand still so I can measure you and your clothes will be done tomorrow. I won't let you bruise your skin any more.", you said.

You hated how people judged tieflings and made their life worse, so seeing him with bruised skin by just not being able to afford fitting pants was making you angry. Not that you had anyone in particular to be angry at, but that wasn't your concern right now.

"You really can't give me more than the shirt. I can't even pay you for your work on that.", he said, as he tried to keep you from measuring his legs, too.

"Listen, Zevlor. I know it makes you uncomfortable, not being able to pay for it, but I know you are not the type of person to forget about the help I offered and I don't plan on dying tomorrow, so you will have a lifetime to pay for the pants. The shirt is still a gift, so don't dare trying to pay for that.", you said while your hands rested on his shoulders and you looked into his eyes.

His eyes were moving across your face and you weren't sure what's on his mind.

"Thank you, really. I don't know how I deserve your kindness."

"Everyone deserves kindness and I am pretty sure it has been a while since you recieved some.", you said and you finally finished measuring his legs, too.

Turning to your desk you write it down so you can start making the clothes.

"Thank you again.", he said quietly.

"You're welcome.", you responded, smiling at him. "You can come pick up your clothes tomorrow."

The next day he came back as expected.

Of course he had to put on the clothes you made him so you could check if they actually fit him.

"Fits perfectly. Thank you.", he said when he stepped out of the changing room.

"I'm glad. I don't make tiefling pants every day, so I was a little worried.", you responded. "Turn around."

He turned and you noticed the pants fitting well around the tail too, with the bruised part on his skin visible.

"Please, before you wear regular pants again come here and let me make new ones for you.", you told him, softly poking the bruised spot and making him jump slightly by it.

"By the quality of these clothes, they won't rip as easily. I hope I won't have to come back to ask for your help anytime soon.", he said and he noticed the frown on your face.

"What if I want you to come back soon?", you replied and he looked at you surprised, before avoiding your gaze.

"I guess I could come back without needing your help then."
