Recently reblogged that whole 'astarion-would-buy-you-giant-bouquets-to-show-his-love' post, and it got me thinking-- while I, personally, don't think he would do anything that saccharine to show his affection, what would he do?

Without further ado, things I think Astarion would actually do to show his affection:

Headbutt you

Randomly bite you

Bring you the exsanguinated corpses of your enemies

Curl up into you

Brush/braid/tend to your hair

Embroider something for you

Create a poison for you

Make sure you go to bed

Sit with you while you eat

Help you make selfish choices you're unwilling to make for yourself

Tell someone off for you

Cool you down on a hot day

Show you off to others

Unabashed, over-the-top flirting

In private, weird and sincere compliments

This is just how I interpret his character of course, so I love to see how others show his affection!!
