You need to take some things into account.

Without any influence, Astarion is a lying manipulative asshat.

You catch Astarion on the second or third night sleeping with him in your camp, as far as I found, never on the first.

That fucker succeeded previously, It's just that THIS time you woke up.

If you consent to him biting you later on,

onthullingHe tells you that you're his first time of tasting a human. He's been surviving on animals only. Ofc he could be lying/acting but he comes across unusually sincere and vurnarable.

I don’t think so? Him biting you gives you the negative stat Bloodless, and you only get that after you let him bite you (that stat is why I never let him get his teeth near me again. It screwed all my dice rolls). I think he was sneaking off before to go hunt animals.

That scene took a surprising amount of time to trigger in my first attempt. I'd already cleared out the Goblin camp and was half-way through the Underdark - must have been at least 10 long rests at that point.
