On a stormy night, Bo is sitting in the clubhouse, while sharpening her throwing knives. Kenzi is out clubbing, with Tamsin for the night. Bo puts down her tools to pick up her phone to see if there are any messages from Kenzi.
"I should have gone out with them, it's gonna to rain, and Kenzi would have sprinted home if there was even a remote possibility getting hair wet. I'm totally the same I hate to get wet...well wet from the rain, I should say" thought Bo, she laughs to herself.
She stops when she hears something; she pauses but hears nothing. She goes back to sharpening her knives, but then she hears that noise again, and she knows she doesn't imagine it. She gets up, and grabs one her knives in her hand, and puts another in her boot. She saunters towards the noise.
"Okay I know it's a person, not some racoon squirrel hybrid, I know it isn't Kenzi, because whoever it is climbing in through what sounds like a window like some jackass," thought Bo.
She hears steps moving towards her direction, so quickly hides behind a door as the intruder walks into the room. Bo quickly grabs the opportunity for a surprise attack, and shoves the door forward and knocks the intruder over, she then jumps on top of them, turns them over, straddles them, and holds a knife to their neck, only to realise the intruder is Tamsin.
"Tamsin, what the F ?" said Bo, leaning back a little, put keeping the knife to her throat.
"What the F is that you just cold cocked me with a door, and put a freaking put a knife to my throat" exclaimed Tamsin.
"Well if you'd have to use the front door instead of a window, then you wouldn't be on the floor right now with your ass kicked," said Bo, with a hint of mock in her tone.
" First of all, I used the window, because I lost my key, and it was starting to rain, but I didn't want to wake you. Ergo window and finally oh please baby fae, I could knock that blade out of your hand, and have your ass on the ground in seconds. I'm just too courteous to do so" said Tamsin.
"Oh yeah, more like too hammered" retorted Bo.
"Same diff," said Tamsin.
"On the topic of someone being drunk, were the heck is Kenzi ?" asked Bo.
"Hale's" said Tamsin.
Bo nodded then removes the blade from Tamsin's neck, and Tamsin sits up, with Bo still straddling her. Making each other faces inches from one another and their bodies even more so; they look into each other eyes, with neither saying a word, but thinking what feels like a million things.
"Wow, Tamsin looks great, with her hair out, less bitch more…I have no clue what" thought Bo.
"My god she is so warm, like a hot bath. I can feel the heat pulsing off of her" thought Tamsin.
Both of them only taking shallow breathes each caught up in how close they are that they barely notice they are both leaning their lips together, and their eyes slowly closing shut. Until a momentary flash of light fills the house, and is then followed by a loud clash of thunder. Shaking them both back to reality, with Bo climbing from Tamsin, and walks towards the couch with a little more urgency than necessary, and plants herself on the couch, and gets back to sharpening her knives, trying to ignore the moment that had passed between them. While Tamsin after seeing Bo's reaction shakes her head and huffs, then gets up and walks towards the kitchen to grab a beer.
"Um…You want a beer or something?" asked Tamsin.
"No… thanks though" answered Bo.
Tamsin then kicks the fridge shut, then walks over to sit on the other end of the couch far from Bo. Putting her right arm with the beer on the arm rest and her left elbow on top of the couch, and puts her palm on her temple with her legs crossed. Tamsin puts on the television to distract them both from the awkward silence that was filled with the sounds of stone upon steel, and them both looking very uncomfortable.
"You're doing it wrong," Tamsin said after a few minutes of watching TV, with her eyes not leaving the television.
"What?" questions Bo; turning towards the blonde with a frown.
"You're sharpening the knives wrong," said Tamsin nonchalantly, with her eyes still not leaving the television screen.
"They look plenty sharp to me" stated Bo, while holding out the blade in front of her.
"You're focusing too much on the tip of the blade. You're leaving the steel near the hilt bare, making the blade to more than likely snap off during a fight" said Tamsin matter-of-factly.
Bo frowns at this for a few moments, and then shrugs.
"Well you know what I have sharpened these blades this way for years, and they haven't snapped yet," said Bo, then goes back to sharpening the blade her way.
Tamsin then rolls her eyes, and leans out to grab the blade out Bo's hands, and smacks the flat end of the knife against the edge of the table. The blade broke off immediately and clattered on the table. Tamsin chucks the hilt on the table and leans back to watch TV while Bo reaches out to grab the broken blade.
"Damn it Tamsin, do you know how many fae I've killed with this blade" exclaimed Bo, while trying to see if the pieces can go back together.
"17," said Tamsin, then she takes a sip of her beer.
This caused Bo to frown, and look towards Tamsin, wondering how she knew that.
"It's a Valkyrie thing," said Tamsin, after seeing the confused look on Bo's face.
"Of course, it is, and I suppose breaking other people's things is a Valkyrie thing as well," said Bo, as she drops the broken blade on the table, and leans back into the couch.
"Pretty much, yeah," Tamsin said, and then went back to drinking her beer.
Bo then crosses her arms, and rolls her eyes, and watches TV with Tamsin.
"You're totally buying me a new blade, by the way" said Bo.
This caused Tamsin to snort, and take another sip of her beer.
"Hey! I'm not kidding Tamsin" exclaimed Bo, turning towards Tamsin.
"I am not going to pay for a blade that was going to break anyway, and it's better it broke now, then in a fight with a dangerous fae. So I technically saved your life, be glad I am not asking you to buy me something" said Tamsin.
Tamsin then finished off her beer and got off the couch to get another; leaving a pissed off Succubus on the sofa.
"Bitch" called out Bo.
"Slut" retorted Tamsin, as she grabbed out a six-pack of beer, so she doesn't have to get up again later.
"Hey Valkyrie" Bo called out to Tamsin.
Tamsin turns around to see Bo grab out the blade from her boot, and throws it over the couch towards her. Tamsin catches it quickly, but she now is pissed, until an idea pops into her head. Her frown changes into a grin. She smacks the flat side of the blade on the counter, and it snaps, and clatters to the floor and Tamsin tosses the handle to Bo who catches it.
"Are you serious, you did it again?" Bo yelled as she gets off the couch, and walks over picking up the broken pieces again. "You are totally buying me a new pair of blades," said Bo, as she walked over to Tamsin pointed the broken blade at her.
"Well you shouldn't have tried to kill me with your blade," Tamsin said; as she cracked open a can of beer.
"I wasn't trying to kill you. I knew you would catch it" said Bo.
Tamsin scoffs, and takes a giant swig of the can of beer, then puts it on the counter.
"Maybe a part of you did, but you weren't thinking about that when you threw it. Were you?" asked Tamsin as she leant towards the Succubus.
Bo just crosses her arms and turns away to lean her back on the counter. Tamsin, who has a grin on her face, then moves over to Bo and puts her hands on either side of her. She leans in bringing their lips close to one another, their eyes never leaving one another's, but then Tamsin pulls back revealing she was only grabbing her beer which was behind Bo. Leaving Bo a little flustered, and Tamsin chuckles at Bo's response to her teasing and then takes a chug of her beer.
"How could I fall for that? and what a tease" Bo thought, she gets an idea." Well, you know what paybacks a bitch Tamsin" thought Bo.
Bo then punches Tamsin in the gut while she was drinking her beer, causing Tamsin to choke on her beer, and spill most of its contents all over her shirt. Bo starts to laugh but stops when she sees the look on Tamsin's face and tries to run towards the door.
"Oh no, you don't," Tamsin said, then tackles Bo the floor. She quickly spins Bo on her back, and pins her down, with her arms over her head, by her wrists, and her thighs are tightly on either side of Bo's hips, with her leaning over her face.
"I told you I could get your ass to the ground" mocked Tamsin, with a huge smirk on her face.
"Yeah well, you smell like a brewery" Bo teased, with a grin on her face.
"Well, I have you to thank for that then don't I," said Tamsin.
They both start to laugh, then laughs turn to chuckles, and chuckles fade to small smiles, and they both start to look at each other warmly, both completely forgetting the place they were in together.
"I'm sorry… for breaking your knives" said Tamsin.
"Thank you, I am sorry for punching you in the gut, "said Bo.
This caused Tamsin to raise her eyebrows.
"No you're not," said Tamsin.
"Your right, I'm not" admitted Bo, with a smile playing on her lips
A silence falls between them; it's not one of awkwardness, but awe.
"My god those eyes, there is so much behind them, she is just... so alive," Bo thought.
"That damn smile, those lips. Oh, my God, I am still on top of her" thought Tamsin.
Tamsin let's go of Bo's wrists, and begins to get up, but Bo grabs her and flips her over.
Bo runs her fingers through Tamsin's hair and puts her other hand on the side of her neck.
"Stay," said Bo softly with a small smile on her lips.
Tamsin opens her mouth to protest, but Bo hushed her.
"No, just stay... I want you to" pleaded Bo.
Tamsin looks at her slightly shocked, and then responds by putting her left hand on Bo's face, then runs her thumb over Bo's lips gently. This caused Bo to moan softly.
They both begin to lean forward, and their eyes close, with no other thought than each other lips. Then both of their phones start to ring.
