This is a really short one-shot I wrote during a sugar rush. Hope you like it, if not oh well.

I own nothing Kin and Tam and Aubry and Kin and the whole The Good Neighbor series belongs to Holly Black.

I feel so week, so defenseless. So torn I can't even think straight. It's not as though I've never liked a girl before, it's just I've never liked a girl I can't have; I've never liked this girl. My curse forbids it. I am bound to Aubry and therefore must do his will, including plotting against her. That night Aubry commanded me to keep guard over her I could have stopped her. But I didn't. I could have kissed her too, that night in the woods. She would have pushed me away and hated me forever, Aubry would have found out too, one way of another, but I could've and I would've. But I didn't. Maybe she rally is the one to defeat Aubry, 'his flesh and blood'. Maybe once Rue does that I can work on getting that kiss.
