Agonizing Hunger (Lymal x Iron Bull)

Char: Cole, Solas,  Iron Bull & Val’Aishlym

Thinking Loudly, Shouting Silently: Inner Machinations of Val’Aishlym

Agonizing Hunger

“Burning…burning…the hunger….it's deep, damaging….I want….I need….I cannot have….” Solas looked up at Cole as the spirit began to speak. It was just he and the spirit in the rotunda under the library " his usual spot to paint or stare blankly at pieces of shards. He was just in the middle of one of his staring spells when Cole started to speak. He wondered who it was that Cole was feeling at the moment. “It hurts…I don’t want it to hurt….please…let it go….my hunger…my shame, darkness….Standing, staring blankly….the night air is cool against my flushed face….this hunger…is insatiable….my duty….my hunger…the confusion….I hurt…I hunger…I want….I need…”

“Cole?”

“He needs help.” Cole looked at Solas. The elf said nothing, waiting. It would probably take a moment before Cole revealed who he was speaking of " if he even did. He’d been saying the same thing for three days but had yet to reveal who he was speaking of. Every time Solas would ask, the spirit would just respond with ‘the shame, the hunger….he needs help….’ and then go silent. Would it be any different now?

“Cole, who is it that you are referring to?”

“I have it…I found….it’s in my grasp at last….but the shame, the hunger….I wait for it to resurface again…what would the rest of my entourage think of me? For me to sink so low, so low, so low…..addiction to this….I need it….want to always have it….”

“Are you referring to the Templars and lyrium?” They did have a few Templars in their ranks " Commander Cullen, could Cole be referring to him or one his men?

“Sweet smells….sweet….sweet…temptation….addiction….secrets….The kitchen,” Cole looked up. Solas frowned slightly. “The kitchen….” And then he spoke no more. Solas stood up straight and turned towards the exit. Maybe he should investigate.

Upon reaching the kitchen, Solas wish he hadn’t gone to investigate. “My goodness….” Solas slapped a hand over his eyes and backed away.  The Iron Bull and Lavellan were in there " Lavellan with his entire face red, sweet bread stuffed in his mouth, and, by the looks of it, Iron Bull in adifferent ‘mouth’. Well…hole…“…Ma ghilana mir din'an….”

Author's Note

Inspired by eating a doughnut.
Last line (lit.): Guide me to death.

Some of these pertain to the storyline of the game, some don't. Some are AU, some I wish happened. There will be male x male relations in this story. If you do not like it, then skip them or just don't bother with the story. The ampersand (&) between two character names in the Char part is a warning of sorts. It means these two characters are shipped together in that particular chapter or drabble. I hope you enjoy - I certainly enjoyed writing this.
