Other Fan Fiction ❯ Stupid In Love ❯ Making a decision ( Chapter 12 )

I do not own Dragon Age or its characters.

I do not make any money off the stories I've written for it.

Unless you count the fact that I can't sleep or work when a story takes hold, so writing it allows me to get back to being productive. But I don't think that Bioware can sue me for that.

Stupid In Love

Chapter 12

Sitting in his window seat again, Fenris found that he needed to expend significant energy to ignore the book lying on the shelf near him.

He found his eyes returning to it, staring as if it were a viper ready to strike.

The words kept repeating in Anders' annoying voice. “If she had chosen me…”

Was Anders implying that Hawke had chosen Fenris? Chosen how? They had had one night together, but it hadn't meant anything to her other than a fling. Had it?

“You don't deserve her love…”

That was most certainly true. But it implied that… “She loves you…”

How could she love him? He had ruined himself. He was alone as he deserved to be.

“I'm here, Fenris.”

Hawke was the only good thing he'd ever found.

“How could you use her like that?! She loves you.” Anders had been offended by it all - as if he were in love with Hawke, and she had rejected him, chosen Fenris over him. But that couldn't be right. Maybe Anders had unrequited love for Hawke, but she… “She loves you- and you-“

He couldn't take it anymore. With a snarl, he grabbed the book off the shelf and opened it.
