A/N: Wooohooo the first ever Valkubus week, hells to the yeah! This is the longest fic I've written thus far and one of the most emotional. This is my favorite one though so I really hope you guys like it! Please review, follow, favorite, but most importantly enjoy! :)
Bo slowly opens her eyes, finally regaining consciousness. Her brown eyes meet emerald orbs belonging to Tamsin. Despite the pain from her injuries and losing Rainer, Bo's heart does a flip at having the beautiful Valkyrie so close. As much as she wants to kiss her senseless, she knows she needs answers.
"How'd I get here?" Bo asked softly, puzzled as to how she go to her bed.
"Trick's stronger than he looks," Tamsin said with a nose crunch. "And he kinda drugged you."
"Ohh. Groovy." Bo winced in pain, taken aback by the multiple injuries she was sporting from her fight with Massimo.
"He went to the Light Fae library to get some text that he thinks has information on the soldiers of hell," the blonde informed her.
"Oh god. Rainer." Bo was at a loss. She knew she wasn't in love with Rainer, her heart was occupied by a certain blonde, but she still cared for him.
"You're pretty beat up. I figure a few broken ribs, a busted collarbone." Tamsin assed, having had a few of these herself, no doubt.
"Where's a hot Kitsune med student when you need one, huh?" Bo tried joking before falling somber. "Hale, Rainer… I couldn't save them. And Lauren has been taken by some asshole that I can't even get close to. I let everybody down, I don't even know what to do."
"Why don't you suck it up and get your shit together?" Tamsin snapped.
"Excuse me?" Bo exclaimed, taken back by Tamsin's aggressive tone.
"Yeah, it sucks to be the leader, it sucks to be the queen. It sucks sucks sucks. Get over it!"
"How dare you?"
"Oh, poor me. I'm the chosen one. Why don't you act like it for once?"
Bo let her anger take over and she pulled Tamsin close. The Succubus started taking the Valkyrie's chi, noticing it was stronger and even more addictive than before. As she pulled away, a satisfied smirk grazed the blonde's beautiful face and Bo knew Tamsin had this planned all along, making her anger disappear.
"You taste different. Happy," Bo mused out loud, surprised at the taste of Tamsin's new flavor of chi.
"There'll be time to mourn. Later." Tamsin said, easily brushing off the comment and avoiding the comment.
"Look, I'm still not strong enough to defeat Massimo. He's basically invisible, he won't die." Bo whined, annoyed at the druid's sudden power.
"Well, we'll have fun trying to make him. Over and over again." Tamsin grinned evilly, obviously happy at the thought of making the man suffer for everything he has done. And as compassionate as Bo is, she couldn't help but smile back. Just as their conversation was about to continue, Dyson came bolting in, and immediately wrapped Bo in a tight hug. As Bo's gaze lifted from the wolf's shoulder, she saw Kenzi standing at the doorway.
"Hi," the Succubus breathed out softly, afraid to scare away the small goth girl.
"Hi," Kenzi said back. It wasn't much, but it was progress compared to the defining silence that surrounded them every time they were in the same room together. After a slightly less awkward silence, Tamsin swooped in and gave Kenzi a hug, making Bo's heart melt at the show of affection the Valkyrie showed. Tamsin then led Kenzi downstairs, leaving Dyson and Bo to talk.
"Hey," Tamsin called out, shyly stepping into the room. "Sorry about earlier, I knew you wouldn't feed from me and I didn't how to else to bring it up and-"
"It's okay," Bo chuckled, amused by Tamsin's nervous ranting. "Thank you for letting me feed of off you."
Tamsin shot her a small smile and bashfully looked down. "It's no problem. Being a new Valkyrie and all, I have endless chi to spare."
"I'll have to test that out sometime," Bo said with a flirty tone. Gauging Tamsin's surprised reaction, Bo knew she wasn't expecting that and she internally high-fived herself for catching the blonde off guard. However satisfying it was to flirt with the blonde, Bo knew there were slightly more pressing issues to discuss. "We have to go get Lauren back and go kick some ass first though. And I have something else I need to do. Will you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what's up?" Tamsin said taking a step closer to Bo.
Bo opened her jacket and pulled out an old piece of parchment paper. "This is my contract that binds me to the Dark. I found it on Rainer when he… Anyway, before we go into battle, I need to get rid of it. And I also need a witness. So what do you say Valkyrie, wanna burn this thing with me?"
Tamsin let out a low chuckle, amusement flickering in her green orbs. "Of course. Who am I to deny the famous Unaligned Succubus her freedom?"
As the burned the contract, Tamsin got a serious look on her face, making Bo wonder what she was thinking. It shocked the Succubus how often she found herself wanting to know what Tamsin was thinking, feeling, anything going on in that complex mind of hers. Soon, her thoughts would be answered.
"Bo, there's something I need to talk to you about. But you can't interrupt me or else I will lose my nerve, got it? Just… don't speak until I'm done talking," Tamsin pleaded, clearly desperate to get this off her chest. Bo nodded and smiled, signalling the Valkyrie to go on.
"My entire life, I have been trained to be the best Valkyrie there ever was. I was taught from an early age not to feel because love gets you killed. So throughout all of my many lifetimes never had a purpose. My lifetimes were used to live, serve and expire, over and over. I have served many, Odin, the Wanderer, great kings. But even they didn't have a great purpose. I look at you, and I realize why you have purpose to fight. Because you have love by your side. You have people that love you, and you love them in return. That's what makes you so special, Bo. When I look at you, I realize I have a purpose to fight also. That day at Taft's you told me to fight. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to fight for you Bo because I love you. I'm so deeply in love with you it hurts," Tamsin took a deep breath and knelt before Bo. "Ysabeau, I kneel before you to offer you my everything. My soul, my heart, my body, my Valkyrie, my very essence belongs to you, my love. I have waited millenium for you Bo, and now that I have found you, I never want to let you go. I love you."
Bo had tears streaming freely down her face. It all made sense now. Why it never worked with Lauren or Dyson, why she felt like there was a piece of her soul missing. Tamsin was that missing piece. Her true soulmate.
"I love you too Tamsin. I love you so much and I would be honored to have you fight by my side, to have you be my Queen," Bo choked out before pulling Tamsin to her and giving her a breathtaking kiss.
Bo knew this is where she belonged. And now she was ready to go kick some ass.
Lauren was rescued, the war was fought and was won. The Gang thankfully suffered no losses since they had found the way to close the Hel shoe in time. All was well and they were all more than ready to go grab a few brewskis. Bo walked hand in hand with her Valkyrie while having her best friend clinging tightly to her side. Things were far from perfect, she still had to fix her friendship with Kenzi and let down Dyson and Lauren, but this is where she was meant to be. And she wouldn't trade it for the world.
