Title: The Soul to the Sun
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 191
Pairing: Team Girl Power (Buri/Thayet)
Round: 1/B
Summary: Thayet has convinced herself, and Buri cannot change her mind.
-
“You don’t love him.”
Thayet spreads her hands helplessly. “Buri-”
Buri paces, throwing the princess a dark, angry look. “You don’t love him. You can’t.”
“He’s good to me. He’s given me a place in the world. I owe Jonathan for that.” Thayet sighs.
“That isn’t enough to base a marriage on! We could have carved out a place on our own. I would have done it for you.”
“I wish you would calm down-”
“I won’t! You can’t do this! Thayet, you’re going from one gold cage to another, do you not see that? These bars are not made of air.”
“I know that,” Thayet says quietly. “But I must marry him. He likes the idea of loving me, he is fond of me and respects me, and we enjoy each other’s company! That will be enough.”
“It won’t be,” Buri scowls. “You know that. Anyone could tell you.”
“I have to do this,” Thayet tips her head back, looking up at the ceiling tiredly. “I need to.”
“It won’t be enough,” Buri crosses her arms. “You don’t love him.”
“I’m going to try,” Thayet whispers. “I will. You’ll see.”
