Kel/Roald Pt 2: The Moon That Illuminates
submitted by: Mrs. Dom Masbolle
--
As submitted:
"okay, i have another for you... kel/roald...
like, it's the night Roald found out that Chisakami died, and talks were going to be held on who the new betrothed would be...
and then... roald just snaps. he runs from the room into the rain..(pouring rain) ... once there he stays, and thinks and realizes. Then in all his manly goodness, with his clothes sticking to hischisled body because they're wet, he bangs on kel's door (she's a squire at this point) and declares his undying love, but not before sweeping her into the most passionate kiss she has ever had...
then they talk, and he tells her that he realized he didn't want another bride he had no clue about, that he wanted her, ( add in some wonderfully romantic language and eye staring) and you have a winner!
tee he... i though of this when thinking of how roald is never seen as brooding or moody, and then i pictured him standing at kel's door, soaking wet, gorgeously handsome, blue eyes staring into the very depths of kel's soul as he tells her he is in love with her!"

Previously:
He knocked on the door of the one person he had always wanted, he had always pretended to like just as a friend, for the kingdom.
The door opened and Keladry of Mindelan gasped.

The prince stood on her doorway, soaking wet looking like a god.
He was more handsome than she had ever remembered him. His clothes stuck to his body, chiseled to perfection. his eyes a piercing blue, his teeth a perfect white. his muscles stood out on the soaked clothes, his aura of calmness was replaced by another strong emotion Kel could not identify.
"Roald, what happened? Are you alright?"
"No." His voice cracked.
She moved aside and waved her hand to tell him to come in.
He hesitated, he was soaking wet after all.
She took his hand and led him to her bed to sit down, he was more important than clean sheets.
More important to her than she realized. A shock ran down her arm as she took his hand in her. She had liked him for a while now but she refused to let her petty female feelings get in the way of their friendship.
They both sat down on the bed, cross legged facing each other.
"Roald, what's wrong?"
"Chisakami passed into the black god's hands."
"Bless her passing." Kel didn't know what else to add so she left it at that.
Roald nodded; "They were discussing a new marriage with another Yamani princess."
Kel's heart dropped just a centimeter lower at the news. She knew it would have happened anyway.
"But --I don't want to marry another princess."
That news took Kel by surprise, she looked at him startled.
"I'm tired of always following my princely duties. I want to marry for love."
Kel nodded, knowing she couldn't possibly imagine how hard a prince's life may be at certain times.
"Kel --I already know who I want to be with."
Kel forced herself to say: "W-who?"
"I'm looking at her." He replied softly.
Surprise and shock clouded over her mask and surrounded her face.
And then, Roald did the least Roald-like thing he had ever done. He pushed her face towards his and kissed her.
He put more passion in that kiss than he ever would have thought possible. Kel forgot where she was, who she was, who she was kissing. She was in another realm and that was that.
She couldn't imagine anything sweeter.
Anything more passionate.
Anything better.
Glued to each other, many long moments passed. Coming up rarely for breath because neither wanted to stop kissing the other.
"Kel you're my life. You're my soul."
"Roald, you do not know how long I've wanted to do that."
"A very long time? That makes two of us."
"But-but, you're princely duties--"
A pained look crossed his mask-less face.
"I don't care anymore Kel. I'd rather be a slave my whole life than be kept away from you. You are the sun in my darkness, the sand in my desert. The wholeness to my circle."
"You really mean it don't you?"
"More than anything I've ever said."
Timidly Kel looked up to meet his striking blue eyes; "I love you Roald."
Roald's eyes looked as if they'd changed colour with the amount of adoration that was thrusted in to them.
"I love you Kel, more than anything."
And then, he swept her into the second most passionate kiss of her life. The second in her previously boring evening.
Then he turned abruptly, breaking the kiss.
"I was thinking so much about my own happiness that I didn't think about yours."
"But I have never felt as happy as now, with you."
The pained expression crossed his face once more.
"No matter how much I hate it, I can't leave my kingdom behind. I need to marry, you have your whole life in front of you still."
"So do you."
"Yes, but I need to marry, now."
Kel took a deep breath and knew, knew instantly that she meant what she was about to say.
"I want to marry you Roald. I do."
He turned his head back to her faster than Kel believed heads could move.
"Really? No! I can't ask you that. --I cannot have you abandon your future."
"You didn't ask me, I told you. Besides, who said anything about abandoning my future? I would be the first Squire Princess... would I not? If I pass the ordeal I will become a knight, I will travel and help the people of Tortall. Nothing can ever stop me from doing that. Becoming princess would not stop me in the least."
Roald's eyes grew with every word she spoke.
"Would you really become my princess?"
"I would love to, as much as I love you, maybe more." she grinned mischievously.
He smiled; "I love you Kel, forever and more."
"I love you too Roald, for now and for the rest of my life. You are my life, you are my light. You are everything and more. You are my happiness. 'Til eternity."
Kel and Roald kissed passionately once more.
The sky opened, the moon rose out of the rain,
illuminating their dark world.

Isn't it pretty? Hope you liked it Mrs. Dom Masbolle. You have been a great help and I hope this doesn't disappoint you. I know you told me o take my time, and believe me, I tried. But the inspiration was so big. It hit me so hard. My mother was furious because I wasn't leaving my computer. I wrote it like seven times until I felt like I had it perfect.. Thank you once more.
