A/N: I figured some more context was needed so I reworked the heartbreak scene. I haven't decided if this will have a Valkubus ending or if Tamsin has simply had enough of Bo's B.S.
Bo woke to the feeling of Tamsin spooning her and realized she'd had another dream about Lauren holding the box Hades gave her for her birthday. She replayed the previous day's events in her head as she quietly broke from the blonde's embrace and tip-toed down the stairs to make coffee. A mysterious fae had zapped her with lightning at a football game of all places, and she'd returned home to feed from the Valkyrie in what turned out to be a long night of passionate sex. Just before they fell asleep, Bo heard Tamsin whisper "I love you" and her heart sank at the realization that this meant more to the Valkyrie than she'd assumed.
Tamsin soon followed her into the kitchen and greeted her with an affectionate kiss. "Good morning," she beamed, "what are your plans today?"
"I'm going to head over to Lauren's for a bit."
"Cool. Shall I join you? Did she find anything out about our friend with the lightning hands?"
"Listen, we should talk," Bo told her, passing her a mug of hot coffee.
The blonde looked over and guessed at the reason for her discomfort. "I have an idea of what might be worrying you, Bo, and I want to make it clear to you that Valkyries are not territorial. I can always stay here if you two want alone time. And I have no problem getting along with Lauren if she can get along with me The same goes for anyone else you're close to this way."
"This way?"
"Other lovers or girlfriends or whatever you want to call it. I would never ask you to make a choice between us."
Bo sighed and dreaded the news she was about to deliver."Tamsin, I care about you more than you know-"
The Valkyrie's face fell and she began to feel sick to her stomach. "But?"
"I know that it seems like this means more because we live together and we take cases together-"
"And we sleep together."
"Look Tamsin, I think that deep down, you feel the same way."
The blonde's eyes welled up with tears. "Don't patronize me. I'm wise beyond my lives. Don't tell me I'm making this up. Don't tell me I'm stupid."
"I'm not. I'm just saying that living with someone and being close to them all the time -it can be confusing."
"I am not confused. I'm not. I'm in love with you." It had taken her so long to be able to say the words out loud and yet in the end they meant nothing to the woman she'd saved them for.
"Tamsin, I love you, I do. But not like that. I'm sorry."
"So... Lauren's good enough. Dyson's good enough. Even Rainer's good enough. What's wrong with me? Why not me? What's wrong with me?"
"There is nothing wrong with you."
"No, I get it. I'm good enough for a feed. Good enough to make you come so many times you lose count. But not good enough to love."
"It's not like that..."
"You know, I thought that finally, I was going to be somebody's... I am stupid." She left the cup on the counter and turned to leave.
""Tamsin..." Bo pleaded as she stepped toward her.
"Don't follow me."
"Tamsin..." The succubus reached for her sleeve but Tamsin shook her off violently.
"DON'T."
"The door slammed and Bo was standing alone in the kitchen, wondering what the hell had just happened.
