I'll wait for you part 4
Author's note- I don't like how the thoughts look when I put them like this- Kel's thought
So I'm gunna write them like this from now on- :: this would be the thought:: if you like it the other way, tell me. By the way, my hits to reviews ratio have severely dropped! Please review!
This one is going to be a little more sad, some fluff. Anyways, disclaimer- no characters belong to me, just the plot which I hope you like so far. R/R!!!!!!
(first day of midwinter break.)
Neal walked down the squire's wing and stopped in front of Cleon's door. He knocked and waited for Cleon. When Cleon opened the door and saw Neal standing there he paled.
"Hi!" Neal said smiling, not noticing Cleon's white face. "Long time no see!"
"Uh… hi," Cleon said shaking it off. I mean, after all this IS the competition! "Did you want something?"
"Can't a guy just want to talk to one of his very good friends? Friends are supposed to tell each other everything, right?" Neal said coming in and sitting at Cleon's desk. Cleon brushed the door closed and sat in the spare chair.
"Friends share secrets. You know, whom they have crushes on." He elbowed Cleon.
Cleon blushed. "well…uh…I guess you want to know about Kel."
"Everyone knows you like her. I take it Kel knows too now hmm?" he said pretending not to know.
"Yes, Neal, she does"
Neal paused. "Why did she say no?" he asked sympathetically.
"you know, you should really see Kel for what she is." He suddenly said in a fierce tone.
"She's more than just some girl! She's smart, funny, determined and…insanely beautiful. The most incredible girl is willing to be with you! She wants you Neal! Not me! You! She turned me down because she's in love with you! Neal, I love her so much that I'm willing to give her to you. All I want is to see her happy. I know you'll make her happy if you just open your eyes and see what I've seen all along!" Cleon has built up to a yell. His face was red and his eyes big. Neal was silent for quite some time.
"I've known it all along," he whispered finally. "Thanks for making me realize what I almost lost. I know you love her, but I love her too."
"And she loves you back."
Neal nodded and walked out of Cleon's room.
Cleon sat on his bed and wept. He wept because he knew he had lost Kel. He would never have her. Ever. He had willingly given her up. He gave her away to Neal. He loved her and knew he had done the right thing. He felt like when Neal left the room to go get the woman they both loved, he had ripped his heart out and taken it with him. He would always love Kel. That would never change. He would just never get to experience that love with her.

Kel hid in the shadows as Neal came out of Cleon's room. She had heard the whole thing. Neal knew her feelings for him. And Cleon had told him. She didn't know what to think.
She had been walking down the hall and saw Neal enter Cleon's room. Curiosity got the better of her and she decided to eavesdrop. The door hadn't closed all the way and now she half wished she hadn't heard all she just witnessed through that crack.
She peered into the same crack. She saw Cleon sitting on his bed, head in his hands, crying. Crying like se had never seen him cry before. She had never seen any of her friends cry. Not through broken bones or cracked rib cages. And here was Cleon, crying because of her. She suddenly realized how much he truly loved her. She walked back down the hall. She needed to think.

At lunch, everyone was oddly quiet. Even Meric, Seaver, Roald, and Faleron (sorry if I missed anyone) noticed their three friends uneasiness.
"So…" Roald said in attempt at conversation. "who's everyone taking to the dance tomorrow night?"
Neal smiled, "Well, I'm going to ask her tonight." He winked at Cleon
Cleon did his best to smile.
Kel's heart began to pound. ::he's asking me tonight. He couldn't possibly mean anyone else:: she thought happily. ::he loves me too! So, why don't I feel completely overjoyed. Sure, I'm happy but… This is what ive wanted for so long and I should be bouncing in my seat but I'm not.::
"Cleon, who are you taking?" Faleron asked.
"I'm not taking anyone."
"oh, well, I know someone who would be perfect for you!"
"really, who?" Cleon said with mock intrest.
"Kel!"
Cleon nearly choked on his food. He knew falron's motive behind this. Everyone knew he loved Kel.
"Well, you don't have to go as boyfriend girlfriend or anything. You could just go as…friends."
"Uh… I think I'll just go stag. No offence Kel."
Kel was a deep red by now, "none taken." She squeaked.
The conversation carried on but Kel didn't pay much attention.
"Is something wrong my dove?" Cleon asked after a while. "if this is about my not taking you I truly would take such a beautiful pearl it's just…"
"Don't worry, Cleon," she interrupted, "I understand."
Kel, for the first time, took the names Cleon called her to heart. ::he always has know I'm a girl. He really does care about me. Those names aren't a pestering annoyance to me anymore. They're a reminder that he cares.::
