Title: Too Serious Rating: PG Length: 135 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: Knowing when you don't know is a step in the right direction. (Last installment in this story. I think.)
“What do you feel?” Kel countered. “You seem awfully concerned about me this morning, for someone who spent last night--”
“I spent last night having fun with a friend,” Buri interrupted. “But you're also my friend. I knew Raoul was interested, the big fool. I didn't know you were.”
“Does it make a difference?”
“Of course it does.” Buri looked at her steadily, until Kel had to drop her eyes. “You're taking all this too seriously,” she continued. “If it's serious you want, you'll have to find someone else.”
“I don't know what I want,” Kel admitted.
“At least you know you don't know.” Buri stood on her toes to kiss Kel's cheek. “When you figure it out, let me know. You know where to find me.”

Oh, this is wonderful!! And I like that Buri doesn't know she's gonna end up seriously attached to Raoul, which makes this kind of bitter-sweet, in a way.
It's beautiful!

Wow, you're commenting as fast as I'm posting! And thank you!! One thing about Smackdown: it's curing me of the tendency to over-edit, since I stop agonizing over word choice after I post.

I was just delighted that every time I commented, there was a new one to read! I'm with you on the over-editing thing.

Awesome! I didn't want to leave one of the sad ones as the "last" for any longer than I had to.

I love how Buri's so casual about both fun with Raoul and potential fun with Kel, I think that's exactly how she'd view it. It's really great!
