A/N: From the 'Paikea has a child' AU, henceforth the 'Nuvena AU'. Nuvena is the name of Paikea and Solas' daughter. Fill for the following prompt from Tumblr: Extension of the "Cole cries when Nuvena cries and Pai sends Cole to Aeric": Aeric and Dorian in the middle of a really romantic/sexual moment and Cole poofing in and scaring the shit out of them.


"Interruptus"

ooo

Cole appears in a puff of smoke, landing beside the bed. Aeric gasps wordlessly while Dorian shouts. "Fasta vass!"

His eyes streaming with tears, Cole cocks his head and stares at them curiously. "Oh!" he says. "So that's what the diagram meant."

Dorian tries to say something, but all that comes out is uncontrollable laughter. Aeric sighs beneath him, but smiles. "Did Pai send you?"

Cole nods, sniffling. "Nuvena skinned her knee."

"Of course she did," Aeric says. He leans back against the pillows, watching Dorian double over in unchecked mirth. "Well, you're not helping," Aeric tells him with a chuckle.

"I'm sure…" Dorian gasps between his laughter, "I'm sure Nuvena's fine…"

Cole wipes at his eyes. "What should I do?"

"Go back to Pai, Cole," Aeric says patiently.

Dorian grins. "And do tell her exactly what she had you interrupting. Spare no detail. That'll teach her not to send you without instructions to knock first." He pauses. "Only, don't tell Pai in front of Nuvena, mind you. No sense traumatizing the poor girl."

Still sniffling, Cole nods and disappears in another puff of smoke.

Aeric laughs and pulls Dorian down to kiss him soundly on the lips. "That was mean."

"I think you mean 'inspired', amatus," Dorian replies with a smirk. "Pity they haven't invented mental soap."
