Days are Gone, Part 16
***
Feeling a sudden rush of affection, Jaskier puts a hand on the back of Geralt’s neck and pulls him into a kiss. Geralt hums against Jaskier’s lips, wrapping both arms around the younger man’s middle and tilting his head to the side, deepening the kiss. Jaskier can’t help but to moan quietly.
“Fuck, Geralt.”
Geralt smiles against his lips, pecking his nose. “Maybe later.”
Why is it suddenly so hot in this room? “Why later?” Jaskier murmurs, moving down to kiss Geralt’s neck. “When we can do it now.”
Geralt pulls away, gently placing his hands on Jaskier’s shoulders. Jaskier pouts, making grabby hands at his partner, to which Geralt replies with a chuckle and a kiss to Jaskier’s nose.

Geralt and Jaskier lying together on the grass, bathing in the sun. Geralt napping with his head on Jaskier’s chest, Jaskier gently holding his Witcher and playing with his hair, enjoying the sight of him, so peaceful and relaxed.
someone calls jaskier a “witcher slut”
geralt/lambert/eskel/any other witcher in reply: you better shut the fuck up before i knock your teeth out
jaskier inreply: why, yes i am
okay, but jaskier who’s a lowkey genius and is a very fast learner?
“elvish is hard? really? i don’t know. i just read a couple of books in elvish when i was a child and remembered a few stuff.”
“wait, this is the move you’re trying to teach me? *does the move with the sword perfectly* oh, okay then, i got it.”
“i wouldn’t mix those two potions together. how do i know? i heard vesemir talking about it once.”
and it just drives geralt insane, because he spent years mastering these skills and the bard isn’t even trying
Okay but ADHD style “fast learner” Jaskier who has no control over WHAT he remembers or learns quickly. Geralt tries to show him this one disarming move a hundred times and it’s back to square one by the next time, but Jaskier sleeps with this one fishers wife over a long weekend and now he knows how to tie a bunch of sailing knots perfectly.
This isn’t helped by Jaskier having no concept of time or of what normal amounts of effort are, so when asked he says he read a couple of books on Elvish as a child, but really he hyperfixated on Elvish folklore for a full six months and occasionally went back to it over a couple of years. Meanwhile, he says his parents made him practice his handwriting “forever! Really, hours of it every day for YEARS Geralt, I still have nightmares and wake up with my hand cramping!” when really it was one lesson a week for a year and a half before they gave up and decided it was a problem for Oxenfurt

jaskier, cleaning the wounds on geralt’s hands: wow, you have big hands
jaskier: you know what they say about guys with big hands
geralt:
geralt: what
jaskier: they wear big gloves
drunk geralt who is a complete disaster. cuddly and clinging to jaskier, asking his bard to carry him back to the inn.
