AN: readers im aware you all would like me to get a beta reader, iv asked drop your oboe so don't worry things will be sorted out soon I hope.
Now on with the story…oh yes and I disclaim…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dom paced his tent muttering to himself, "It doesn't actually mean that they're together…I mean come on! One peck that isn't much and if I fight now maybe I could…yes, yes that is exactly what im going to do". Dom had made up his mind he was going to march right into that healer tent and capture his Kel in an amazing kiss, then hopefully win her heart away from the mysterious annoying midnight kissy kiss man.
With that thought in mind Dom began his preparations putting on cream trousers and a blue tunic that was the same colour as his eyes, hooking his brown leather belt around his waist and sheathing his sword, then pulling on his best deer skin boots, he then ran over to his mirror and ran a hand through his brown curly locks "You are good to go Dom" he said winking at himself and walking out of his tent.
He walked towards the infirmary hoping that this all didn't blow up in his face.
He pushed aside the tent flap and walked in, seeing Kel propped up on some pillows and eating porridge was a good sign, he flashed her his special 'aren't I handsome, don't you just want to swoon' smile, she smiled back when she saw him and her eyes glittered.
She laid down her spoon and said "Dom! Oh its so good of you to visit me, I actually have something I need to tell you"
Dom's heart skipped a beat, he gulped "oh really well I actually had something I have to tell you as well, but you first my dear protector" he said flashing her another cheeky grin.
Kel took a deep breath, "well Dom…" she took a deep breath. He leaned in sure that she wanted to tell him exactly what he wanted to tell her, "Im getting married!"
"What?" he said stupidly, much like a child not understanding a question, his face going slack.
"Im getting married! His name is Chris and he's so handsome and I've known him for almost three minuets!" she said in a excited girly voice.
"So your marring someone…who you have know for only five minuets?" he said dumbfounded
"Three minuets Dom and yes" she replied folding her hands neatly and smiling at him in a dreamy way, she then reached out and took his hand, "Dom, you were always there for me when I was in the own, you looked out for me and you helped to train me, you stuck up for me when the men tried to haze me…would you like to be the ring bearer?"
Dom took a moment to register that everything she had just said to him was what he had wanted to hear, except at the end it was supposed to be 'I love you' not 'would you like to be the ring bearer', she had to be having him on, "Kel you have only known this man for five minuets! You can not be serious!"he exclaimed trying to figure out how everything was going so wrong.
"Three! And that is not the point Domitain!" she yelled looking quite annoyed, "I love him!"
Dom stopped dead, Those three words had more of an impact on him then the rest of Kels words put together, he then straightened and clasped her hands in his, "I hope you two are very happy together" then he let go of her hands and strode from the tent holding in anger, frustration and tears.
Kel lay in her bed looking at the spot Dom had recently vacated then turned and spoke to a healer who was looking at her with raised eye brows, "We're thinking a June wedding' she said promptly then returned to day dreaming.
(Change P.O.V to Neal!)
Neal was running back to the tent with a bottle of whine mixed with antidote when he literally ran into his cousin, "What in gods name are you doing Dom! Where are you going?"
The only reply he received was for his cousin to charge past him and yell, "To find a flower girl!"
Neal somehow thought there was much more behind that then he was catching on to but he knew that Kel must come first, he then winced, flower girl…something you had at a wedding Kel must have imparted her news to him. Fan-tastic…
Neal pushed through the flap of the healer's tent and plastered a fake smile on his face, "Kel im back with wine".
She smiled, "Oh goody" she clapped her hands together.
Neal rolled his eyes, he was finding this new Kel more annoying by the second, he silently poured wine out for both of them and handed her a glass, he then raised his "to sanity!", Kel gave him a slightly confused look but raised her glass and sipped all the same, Instead of drinking from his Neal lightly bit the edge of his glass and looked at his friend waiting for the love potion to wear off.
Slowly, amazingly slowly it began to happen, her cheeks lost there merry glow, her smile slackened then formed into a hard line, then he eyes stop being misty and became as solid as a shield.
"I am going to kill him!" she said clenching the glass so hard that it shattered in her palm and made her yelp in pain, instantly the healer came over and pushed Neal out of the tent, "Out! Get out of my infirmary! She needs rest not more injuries!!" The healer then proceeded to pull the glass out of Kels palm and bandage it, seeing that Neal still hovered by the tent flap making sure Kel was ok, she pointed at him, "Out now!"
Neal scrambled away, angry healers were not force to be trifled with.
He arrived back at his tent with a problem fresh in his mind, Dom. Of course Dom would forgive all once he found out what had happened but his pride might stop him from going back after Kel especially if he did something stupid, however Neal thought he should give his cousin some time to relax, he was problem extremely distraught and from past experience he knew that there was absolutely no point in trying to speak to him again until he had calmed somewhat. With about an hour to kill before he went and spoke to Dom he decided to compose a sonnet to Yuki's left eye brow, he had paid enough attention to the right one already.
Yuki you're left eyebrow,
Rises when you're on the prowl,
Looking at me like I've done something wrong
Like were about to get it on
Either that or your about to hit me with your fan
Despite it all
Im still your manHe set his quill down, that had gone very nicely he thought, now it was time to go and see Dom, he poked his head out of his tent flap and was shocked to see that the sun was setting, well it did take a while to create perfection he thought glancing back at his paper, he then headed off in the direction of his cousins tent.
When he arrived the called out "Dom, come out its important!" receiving no reply he decided to poke his head in to check to see if his cousin was indeed there, more likely he was out getting drunk in a tavern someplace but best to check the obvious places first, so he poked his head round the tent flap and what he saw made his jaw drop because in Dom's makeshift bed was not only a naked Dom but and equally naked Gloria the flower selling girl…
He muttered to himself "going to find a flower girl" of course Dom hadn't been making a wedding joke he had been making an important decision…well he most certainly wasn't virginal anymore…and he and Kel certainly were not getting together anytime soon, you see, Dom had done a stupid thing…
