I'M SLOW AF SORRY

[ Geralt watches Jaskier as he undresses, with a hunger glinting in the witcher's yellow eyes. This is such a different context than when they've caught glimpses of each other naked before, just in the natural process of their adventuring together: shivering in a river, a flash of bare skin and ass, getting dressed quickly in the mornings. Geralt is terrifically good at compartmentalisation; hadn't fully conceptualised Jaskier as someone he could desire and be desired by in return, until now, until the scales had suddenly tipped with the added weight of Jaskier's flirting and they'd both realised, ah, alright. This is an option.

The bard's smooth skin is a sign of the comparatively safer life he's lived; his fingertips are calloused from strumming a lyre, not from gripping a sword. Geralt's own hardworn fingers trace the lines of those few scars, which are more meaningful, in a way, for how much rarer they are on the man's body. The prostitutes always make a show of asking Geralt about his own scars, fawning for their stories, and he's bored with it.

Not so, here.
