The Morning After
Companion to The Valkyrie's Failsafe
Pairing: Bo & Tamsin
Rating: T for Femslash & Language
Waking up next to Bo the morning after was sure something. Tamsin is ready to persue a relationship with Bo, but will others stand in their way?
Tamsin woke up the next morning, feeling a body next to hers. She almost didn't recognize it and was about to jump out of the bed but then she remembered; she remember what had happened. She looked over and saw Bo lying by her side, her head resting on Tamsin's shoulder. Tamsin smiled at the succubus, remembering what had happened the night before; the day before even. She had confessed her love for Bo, given Bo her powers, saved her, and in return Bo had saved her. Tamsin had been prepared to die that day, to die for the one she loved, but in the end, she didn't have to, Bo truly was his daughter. Tamsin could feel the mind link between her and Bo pull at her consciousness. She closed her eyes and let the memory flow; it was of Bo, when Tamsin was dead. Bo's eyes were that unnatural blue color, not the electric blue of the succubus, but something else, she heard Bo speak. "No, you've done enough Odin. Forever have we lived in your shadow, I am his daughter, and I decide who lives and dies."
Tamsin's eyes flew open. She had thought Odin was Bo's father, she knew that he had to have been a god, and since Odin had wanted Bo, she thought it was him; obviously she was wrong. While Tamsin was wracking her brains, Bo woke from her sleep; she could feel Tamsin's uneasiness. Bo reached over and stroked her face with that back of her hand. Tamsin instantly calmed and forgot the thoughts she was previously thinking, leaning her face into Bo's hand, feeling the succubus' soft skin. "Morning succubus."
Bo smiled at Tamsin. "I'd say I'm just a little more than just a succubus now, don't you think?" Tamsin smirked, and laughed, both at the same time.
"I suppose you're right." Tamsin leaned over to kiss Bo. "I guess I should be saying savior, lover, babe, and guardian. Are those all satisfactory terms?" Bo kissed Tamsin back.
"Yes, much better, although I'm thinking lover is my favorite. It has a nice ring to it." The brunette laughed, which was music to Tamsin's ears. She loved hearing the sound of Bo's laughter and knowing that she was the one to cause it.
"I believe you are right." Bo smiled and sat up, looking down at the blonde. Tamsin stared up at the dark brown eyes of her lover, smiling back. "I suppose I have to go talk to Lauren and Dyson and tell them I found you." Tamsin didn't really want to get out of the bed, but she did owe it to them to let them know Bo was safe. In the back of Tamsin's mind, she was also afraid. She was afraid that Bo would realize that she wasn't worth it and go back to Lauren, or even Dyson. Both of them were much better suited for the succubus. Tamsin was all but powerless now, all she retained was her longevity, and that was because she was born fae, but the rest of her powers Bo now had.
Bo could feel Tamsin's doubt through their mind link, something that right now, Bo was grateful for. She leaned in and kissed Tamsin on the forehead. "Tamsin whatever it is you are feeling doubt about, I'm here for you, where ever and whenever you need me. I didn't just save you to let you go, I do intent on keeping you around." Tamsin's heart jumped at her words; did that mean Bo wanted her? She sure hoped so.
"Bo, it's just that, oh I don't know. It's so hard, knowing that any minute you could realize that I'm not worth perusing and you could easily have Dyson or Lauren back. They both care for you Bo, Lauren even came to me, begging for my help in finding you. I don't know how I could handle that." It was strange for Tamsin, laying her feelings in front of Bo like that, but with the mind link, she knew Bo would press her until she caved. She might as well come clean now, even though it was difficult.
Bo's eyes softened as she looked into the blonde's bright green eyes. She intertwined her fingers with Tamsin's and rubbed her hand with her thumb. "Tamsin, I know you don't think it, but you are worth perusing, and I'm not letting you go. I will tell you every day if I have to until you believe it." Kissing the blonde, she tried to let her know that she wasn't going to leave her, ever.
As the two broke their kiss, they both felt elated; Tamsin, because of Bo's reassurance and Bo, because Tamsin was finally opening up to her, finally letting her in. Tamsin smiled and then swung her legs over the edge of the bed, standing up. "Well, c'mon succubus, time to show the world that you're okay." Bo grinned at Tamsin, got up, walked over to her and took her hand. "And show them that I am in love with the most amazing woman ever, and I'm not letting her go." Tamsin's heart soared, for the second time that morning. She grabbed Bo's hand and drug her into the shower, both women kissing the other, bumping into door frames the entire way.
As the couple walked towards the Dal, Bo reached down to grab Tamsin's hand, giving her a questioning look. Tamsin nodded, giving her approval. Tamsin didn't know if she was ready for this, but then again, she didn't know if she would ever be ready. She was prepared for Dyson to rip her to bits, the doctor to do frightening medical things to her and a number of other nasty things from Trick and Kenzi. She knew she was still on Laruen's hit list, she was taking Dyson's love away from him, and well, Trick and Kenzi were just protective of Bo. Tamsin knew she wasn't the nicest to Bo before, but that was all behind her now, possibly the others would see that, but she didn't dare to hope.
Entering the bar, she could see Dyson at a pool table, Kenzi perched on the side watching the wolf play, and Laruen talking with Trick. The barkeeper looked over to the door and a huge smile broke out on his face. Lauren looked over to see what he was smiling at, and saw Bo with Tamsin. Lauren squealed and ran over to the pair, enveloping them both in a huge hug. Tamsin was highly uncomfortable, awkwardly patting the doctor on the back, while Bo tightly hugged her back. Lauren stepped back and addressed Tamsin. "Thank you Tamsin, for finding her." Tamsin could hear the genuine tone in Lauren's voice. She nodded at that doctor. The three walked over to the bar, Bo still gripping Tamsin's hand. Dyson and Kenzi had also wandered over, and the five of them sat at the bar in front of Trick, waiting for the conversation they all knew they had to have.
A/N: I haven't written anything for a while, and I had this sitting on my computer so I thought I would upload it. I don't know if I want to write this into a story, although there is a big opening if I want to continue it. If I do, it will most likely be a fluff story, as I have the worst time upkeeping stories that have deep plots and stuff.. I mean there would be drama in this one, but it wouldn't really have an underlying story line.
I feel really bad for not updating LG: Redux in forever, but sadly my writers block as returned. I'm trying to get my creative juices flowing with this and hopefully I'll be able to. Anyways guys, I apologize for my lack of activity on FanFiction, and hopefully now that I'm out of high school I'll be able to write with more consistency. Please review, by the way, if you want me to continue this, because I myself do not know if I want to.
