I want to get in bed now, Tam had said the night before, and Kel had said, Alright. Do it.

I want to blow the lamp out, Tam had said. And Kel: Fine with me.

And then, lying in the dark and listening to Kel’s soft breathing across the bed, he’d whispered, Will anyone ever love me?

Probably Lyford does. Otherwise he wouldn’t keep giving you his dick every week, Kel had said, far more pragmatically than Tam had been looking for. Probably other people do as well. But if you want to be loved, really loved, first you have to be you. And when that’s what you’re struggling with, suddenly Idunet’s the only one who’s really there for you, eh?

Tam had been silent for another long, long time, and then whispered, his voice breaking, I guess you’ll say no if I want to be held.

Kel had turned towards him with a sigh and muttered, So, crying on my shoulder about Lyford it is. Come on, then. And he’d moved across the bed and bundled Tam against his chest (Idunet’s eyes, he’d smelled so fucking good, how could a person smell that good, even Lyford didn’t smell that good, and he was rich enough to afford perfume) and held him close, and said, Why do you think I’d say no?

You’re not getting anything out of it, Tam had whispered, trying not to sniffle.

Well, compassion is its own reward. My lord is the most compassionate of all the gods, when you think about it. Even Angarat can’t touch him for compassion. He’s the only one who actually cares about everyone, even the assholes and the monsters and the murderers. He’s the only one who always gives you another chance, no matter how many times you fuck it up. He’s the only one who really cares that people are happy.

Motherfucking Kel.
