Warning: FLUFF. SO MUCH FLUFF.
It was Near sunset and Valkyrie gazed out of the window of her late Uncle's master bedroom. She had just gotten back from a detective job with Skulduggery and was chewing on a leaf to remove the pain that was crashing around in her head. It wasn't pain caused by injury, but by thinking too hard. She'd heard somewhere that overthinking will kill you, and she finally understood what that sayingg meant.
Valkyrie remembered how she used to be, before Skulduggery, before magic and life-threatening situations everyday. It was a boring life, but much more simple. She wished she could go back to then, even for just a day.
A buzz snapped her out of her trance-like state. She had a new text message from Fletcher. She hadn't spoken to him since that night when he saved her from Calean. That whole week had been a huge mess.
She read the text that Fletcher had sent her, he wanted to meet up with her. She replied asking why and he replied that he needed to talk to her. She didn't feel like getting to far into it so she agreed to meet up with him anyway and told him that she was in her Uncle Gordon's house. After a few minutes he appeared at the door.
His spiky blonde hair had gotten a shade lighter and his skin had become two shades darker. He had obviously stayed in Australia for a while. His expression was calm and so was Valkyrie's.
"Hey, Val." Fletcher greeted the dark-haired teen.
"Hi, Fletch." She missed using his nickname. "It's been a while, you've changed quite a bit."
"For the better, I hope." He laughed. She smiled. He may have changed in appearance, but he was still the Fletcher she used to know.
"So why did you need to talk to me?" Valkyrie inquired.
"So that I could tell you that I still love you." Valkyrie was shocked, but she didn't allow it to show.
"Right." She looked down at her feet. "Alright, I geuss that reason's as good as any."
"Yeah, so, I was wondering... Do you still love me? That is, if you ever did." Ow.
"Fletcher, I don't know what I feel anymore. All I know is that I really want to kiss you right now."
"Then why are you waiting?" Valkyrie stood up from her bed and crashed her lips to his. She could feel his strong arms around her waist and she held hers on his back. She pulled away from the kiss to dig her face into his neck. He kissed the side of her head and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"I've missed you so much, Fletch." She heard herself say. God, it was so cheesy but she didn't care. She meant it. The guilt that filled her for cheating on him had eaten her up and when he left she was so upset that her head felt like it was at it's breaking point from the negetive thoughts. But none of that mattered anymore, because Fletcher had come back.
"I missed you too." He said. "Hold on tight."
Fletcher teleported them both to a familiar place in Australia. Valkyrie remembered the first time he had taken her there. The bird that had sat on his head, the ice cream and the sun blaring down on them both.
She smiled at the memory and turned towards Fletcher.
"Fletcher, this is lovely, it really is, but I was kind of about to go to bed." Fletcher took both of her hands in his and they were back in the master bedroom.
"Thank you." Valkyrie said and kissed him once more.
"You're welcome, Val." He smiled.
"Do you want to sleep here?" Valkyrie asked.
"Sure." Fletcher smiled at her.
