Summary
After moving in with Shallan and Adolin, Kaladin's feeling conflicted. He's pretty sure that he loves both of them, but he and Shallan keep getting into arguments. After their latest fight, he decides (while listening to Shallan cry in the other room) that this was a mistake and he'd better move out. Adolin, however, has some interesting ideas about diplomacy, and Kaladin overhears him comforting Shallan...
And then he kissed the back of Kaladin's hand, terribly tenderly. "Please, stay." And then he kissed each of Kaladin's knuckles, too.
Kaladin just let his hand lie limply in Adolin's grasp. "Well, what about Shallan?" he asked, his voice tight with stored-up emotion and pent-up arousal. "Does she want me to stay?"
"I'm not going to speak for her," Adolin said, kissing his way up Kaladin's arm, to his shoulder, his collarbone, clambering over him. "But I want you to stay."
