Title: Exercise Is Good For The Soul
Fandom: Dragon Age
Pairing(s): Dorian Pavus/Cullen Rutherford, background Evelyn Trevelyan/Blackwall
Rating: PG
Warnings: Some mentions of nudity
Summary: A modern AU based on the following prompt: “I see you jogging around my block every morning so I guess it’s my fault I accidentally left my curtains open when changing while you passed by” au. Cullen jogs, Dorian watches, Dorian is naked, Cullen notices. Shenanigans ensue.
Dorian hated everything about his new home and yet he also didn’t. He’d chosen to run away from home. He’d known the consequences he would face both if he did and if he didn’t and he didn’t regret his choice but it was something of a come down. His family were practically nobility at home and he’d never really wanted for anything (except love… his father being proud of him… his mother not spending her life at the bottom of a bottle… and love… did he mention love… he’s always wanted that) and having to rely on just his salary now was a bit of a letdown.
He had a job though and he knew he should be thankful for that. Not many places in Fereldan would take a chance on a Tevinter mage but Skyhold had. He had a good job with a decent wage and he’d even been able to afford to rent a house and not a pokey little apartment.
But he still hated it.
The house was (lovely) small and beige and being pre-furnished, it was full of (decent) boring furniture that made him shudder when he wondered what might have happened on it or to it with past tenants. The view was (pleasant) dull and utterly suburbia and he would have (smiled) screamed if he had the energy.
Then he saw him.
