Title: Faithfulness II Rating: PG Length: 100 words Competitor: Nealan of Queenscove Round/Fight: 1/C Summary: Sequel to my Kel/Yuki fic, "Faithfulness." Kel talks to Neal about it.
“She loves us both?” Neal asked, finally finding his voice.
“She does.”
He sat, heavily, on Kel's bed. Her palace rooms were too small for pacing. “So what do we do?”
Kel shook her head. “I wish I knew.”
“Is this a Yamani thing?”
“Well...”
“That came out wrong. I don't mean that the way it sounded.”
“No, it kind of is.” Kel sat in her desk chair, knees almost touching Neal's. “I mean, I'd know what to do about it, in Yaman.”
“What's that?”
“She and I could, um, go to bed together. Have a relationship. You could still marry her. As long as she did as a wife should – provided you with heirs and, um, satisfied you – it would be seen as perfectly nromal.” Kel sighed, half wishing for a fan to hide behind. “And I know what we should do about it in Tortall, too: you and Yuki should marry, and be happy together. I should stay out of the way.”
“Kel...”
“It's ok.” She forced her mask of calm into place. “I shouldn't have told you, even.”
“I want Yuki to be happy,” Neal said slowly. “But it sounds like she won't be happy without you.”
“She does love you.” Kel's voice was just above a whisper.
Neal leaned forward, resting one hand against Kel's cheek. “Maybe we could all be happy together.”
