f!Cousland, Alistair, Nathaniel - Alistair does *not* appreciate the way Nathaniel looks at his wife
Alistair does not like the newest Grey Warden.
His name alone brings a shiver of anger down his spine, and the fact that he attempted to kill his wife only makes him angrier. Again, he is reminded of the soother, sweeter soul that resides in his beloved: Alistair would have killed the would-be murder on the spot
But that's not why he hates him. Not really. He can only accuse Nathaniel of the same sin he has forgiven Zevran of, and it's not worth the unashamed hatred that grows in his gut, poisoning his every thought.
Alistair is jealous.
He shouldn't be. After all, of the two of them, Alistair is the one she has sworn to spend her life with, the one to whom she has promised her very life, her soul, her love, until death do they part.
Still, he cannot shake the feeling of utter repulsion when he sees that man.
If Nathaniel leered at his wife in lust, Alistair would understand. His wife is very beautiful, and Alistair is use to men staring at her in desire. It's not a feeling he would like to encourage, but it is one he understands.
Or even if Nathaniel looked at her with adoration, he could handle it. He could handle the way his eyes worshiped her, the awe of having such an amazing person consider him a friend. Alistair also knows that feeling well.
No, Nathaniel looks at his wife like Alistair looks at her. Like she is his everything, his life, his love, his other half, the only reason he has to live.
And for that, Alistair hates him.
