It's been a long time since I updated this. I am very sorry for the wait! I lost my internet, then when I got it back I spent so much time reading and crap that I forgot about updating my stories. Ideas were in short supply, also. But my brother had helped me out, so now I have the rest of this story planned out. So a big thanks to him!

Um.. I forgot to do warnings and carp. There are going to be MAJOR swear words in this. And If you didn't guess, Male/Male stuff. Don't like then I'm not making for you haters, I'm making it for the people that like it.

...

Leaf and Fenris ended up hanging out at that rock for about half an hour, even though the sun had already set and there was shit to no light other from the moon. It was a beautiful moon, though. Fenris stored the book in his pack, for safe keeping. You never know what could happen. This is the Free Marches, after all. They ended up talking about other stuff, like how they had met there companions, (Or in Leaf's case, companion.)

It was still hot, though.

He could feel his leather armor sticking to him because of all the sweat. He looked longingly at the ocean, noting how cold it would be, while a stretch of silence went past. If he had been looking, he would have noticed Leaf giving that same look to the ocean.

Fenris got up. "We should return to the others, least they forget our presence."

"I don't think that would be possible. One of them has been giving you 'that look'." Fenris' eyes snapped to Leaf, who had also stood up and had his arms crossed over his chest, along with a grin that could match some of the other people he knew. But what was he talking about?

"What is 'that look'?" Leaf looked at him, appearing unimpressed.

"You know, when someone likes someone, they tend to watch you with this look of want and longing when they think no one is looking." That did nothing to stop the peeking of his curiosity, only raise it. Fenris had never heard such a thing.

"Which one?" Fenris asked, knowing a bit what the answer might be. He knew enough to know who it would be, but that didn't stop him from being any less angry about it. Had everyone noticed except him? He had a feeling it was...

"Umm... that one with the black hair, purple eyes, Hawke, I think it was." Fenris couldn't help the glare that appeared on his face. Of course it was Hawke. But Hawke seemed to want everyone, no matter what race, height, class, he would just... Flirt with everyone. Well, not everyone, but mostly everyone. But Hawke had been acting extra weird.

It had been ever since that one night, when he rescued Cody from having to deal with his fear of thunder and lighting on his own. Then it had happened again when they'er 'friends' had trapped them in that room, alone. And ever since then, Hawke had been getting more and more strange.

"Why is it that everyone seems to be gay?" Leaf said, scrunching up his nose. "To many people I meet are like that." He continued as he started walking over to the others. Fenris caught up to him, and they arrived where the others were drinking and playing cards around the small fire that was keep't small for fear of it making it even more hot then it already was. This fire served only for light.

The two unlikely friends sat inbetween Hawke and Jasper. Both trying to keep away from each other for fear of the other looking at there cards. Overall, it was a party of meaningless fear.

"Ah, glad to see you have joined us." Varric intoned. He then looked to Leaf. "And I see you have brought this new friend of yours. How do you do? Varric Tethras, at your service." Leaf nodded in Varric's direction to mark acknowledgment.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Leaf. Not one for last names, though."

"None of us are, sweet thing. I'm Isabela. Its always nice to meet someone that can appreciate a good bandana." Isabela said, motioning with her drink to the bandana tied around his head, with a wink. Leaf unconsciously touched it, much to his displeasure, as he quickly pulled his hand back.

"And it is strange to see someone who isn't wearing pants."

"Just makes it easier for little tumbles in the dark." She replied with a wink. Fenris could see the two pink spots appear on Leaf's cheeks.

"I don't think I'll be rushing to try it anytime soon."

"They never do." Hawke said, before taking a sip of his ale. "Well, that would depend on the person, I guess. You never know, right?"

"You see Hawke, that there is why I like you!" Isabela said. Hawke smirked at her.

"I am here to please." Isabela narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"Be careful what you say, Hawke. Fenris might just get jealous." Fenris glared at the pirate. He really did not want to be dragged into this conversation. Never, ever. Not for Varric's stories, OR Isabela's fucking fiction. Nothing good comes from being in a conversation with rogues.

An arm came to wrap around his shoulders, making him tense. Touch was a reminder, a reminder of Tevinter and what happened there. It was also a reminder of that night a few days before they came to this beach. Stupid fucking Hawke. He already looked tipsy.

"How much ale have you two drank?" Fenris asked in an irritated tone. Cody held up his fingers and started counting. Isabela was doing the same.

"I think it was... Um.. Izzy, how much have we drank?"

"Be shit if I know."

"You two need to control the amount you drink." Aveline said, instead of staying in her silent spot, avoiding what Fenris was having to go through. Her eyes went to Leaf. "My name is Aveline Vallen. I apologize for the state in which you see my friends now."

"Fenris drinks more then both of us! Why aren't you scolding him?" Hawke complained.

"She's saving it for you so you can spank him." Isabela added, her eyes glazed with lust as she looked between Hawke and Fenris. Fenris could feel the blush creeping up his neck.

"Fenris drinks in his own space and not in-front of people he had only known for five minutes." Aveline said. Hawke removed the arm from Fenris' shoulders to point at Aveline.

"That is not true! When I first met him we drank Aggregio pavali, a Tevinter wine. Fenris was so drunk he threw the bottle at the wall."

"I was not drunk. I was angry. As a plus the wall looked like it needed to be re-decorated." Fenris said, to prove he wasn't drunk at the time and could still remember the exact words that had come from Hawke's mouth. Hawke himself seemed caught off-guard at the sudden remembrance, but all the more, smiled at him. Hawke put his arm back around Fenris, giving a little squeeze.

"Aww, you even remember our conversation! I feel so special!" Fenris could only roll his eyes, as he pinched Hawke's hand and removed the arm. Hawke making a sound at the unexpected pain along the way. Fenris let himself smirk at the rogue.

"So you should." He then grabbed the bottle of wine in front of Hawke's feet, (Which I forgot to mention. *Shrugs*) And took a large gulp, silently hopping he can manage to drink his way into unconsciousness so he doesn't have to go through this night.

"You know," Jasper starts, his eyes on Anders. "I think I know you." Anders looks up from his cup of wine to the newbie. Anders narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to have thought the same thing about Jasper. Eventually, (And through a LOT of awkward staring,) Anders clapped his hands together, then pointed to Jasper.

"Andraste's tits, aren't you Jasper? As in the Fereldan Circle mage Jasper?"

"And aren't you Anders? As in escape the Circle several times and get thrown into solitary, Anders?"

"It's been ages! I thought you were dead!"

"Nothing can keep me down. And you forget, I was the smartest mage in that tower." Leaf coughed a few times, which could also be translated into '*Cough* giant ego, *Cough*' To which Jasper glared lightly at his companion.

"Sorry. Just got this TERRIBLE cough lately. Please, by all means, carry on." Leaf said with a grin, before picking up a stick and poking the small fire.

"You know," Isabela says, keeping the trend of copying what someone else said. She looked at Leaf, then Jasper, then back and so on. "I think, and this is just a theory, that you two might have a thing." She purred out. Leaf blushed furiously and went into a coughing fit. While Jasper smirked at his companions reaction. Isabela laughed at the show. Fenris patted Leaf's back to try to help with the coughing. Even though, he himself, also had a smile on his face from Leaf's fit.

Leaf eventually managed to calm down the coughing to wheeze out, "No, no. I am positive that I am straight, thank you very much. There is no way that would ever happen, end of story, bye." Isabela laughed even more, earning her a glare from Aveline for making Leaf feel uncomfortable. Varric chuckled at his sentence.

"This story is just beginning, Bandana. So I suggest you get used to whatever is going to come your way in the future. Otherwise. you'll be in the shitter."

"Good thing I managed to get used to all my new friends before all this new shit happened to me." Hawke intoned. Varric chuckled and the two of them talked while Isabela still looked at the other two with a strange look.

Fenris took another gulp of the wine, and noticed how Aveline's voice was slurring. She didn't drink that much, did she? Then it was Anders, who had been talking to Jasper. He looked back to Aveline and saw a small... dart in her neck.

He then felt a heavy weight leaning on him and as he looked to where it was coming from, he could see Hawke. Aveline had fallen unconscious, and now he knew he wasn't the only one suspecting something. He pushed Hawke off him, also noting that Varric and Isabela's voices were starting to slur. The Abomination had fallen unconscious. Fenris quickly stood up, but apparently that just made him a better target, as he felt something hit him in the arm where the armor wasn't covering him.

Looking to the right, he saw Leaf catching the dart aimed at him with a quick hand. And then another, aimed at Jasper. But before he could comment on how much skill it would take to do that, he fell on the ground as he felt his whole body shut down. He also noted dully that he landed on Hawke. At least it was a softer landing then anyone else.

The last thing he saw before darkness surrounded his vision was Leaf and Jasper running away. As the darkness overcame the light, he could still hear Leaf and Jasper yelling at each other. Rivals to the end.
