A.N
Okay, few quick pointers.
For a start, unless you want a HUGE spoiler, don't read this until you've read the eighth book. It includes a huge spoiler because I came up with the idea for this story right after I read a really big thing happening in last stand of the dead men.
Also, although this is a oneshot, it's not a complete oneshot. If you have an idea of a Skulduggery character giving another Skulduggery character a present, leave a review saying what the present is, who gave it, who got it.
Here's where I got the inspiration for this story.
I convinced my bro to read Skulduggery Pleasant the first, and one night I asked him; "Hey bro, do you wanna read some Skulduggery Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrresent?"
And then we got into a convo about Skulduggery's present!
This story is only 171 words long, but still, favourite, review, follow, (like, comment, subscribe! :P) and enjoy!
Read the message up there.
"What's this?"
"A present."
"And...?"
"I dunno...thought you might need it."
Skulduggery turned it over and undid the Sellotape holding the stripy blue wrapping paper together. He put the paper on the table beside him.
It was a hat.
Black, nicely tailored, wide rim. A red satin strip ran around it. He stood staring at it for a few moments.
"Why red?" he finally said, looking up at Valkyrie. "You know I never wear red."
"I thought you could do with a splash of colour." Valkyrie replied.
Skulduggery took of the navy blue hat he was currently wearing and placed the new one on his head.
"I thought you might need it cuz like, you know... Ghastly's..." she trailed off.
"Thank you."
Valkyrie's smile returned to her face.
"I still don't like it."
Valkyrie dropped her head and shook it slowly.
"I think it looks nice." she muttered.
They left the room side by side and passed Fletcher.
"Hey Val." he said. "Nice hat Skulduggery."
Valkyrie grinned smugly.
"Told you."
Sorry it's so short!
