I do not own Fallout 3, it belongs to Bethesda.

A/N...

Sorry for no updates, but this chapter took forever to write. *shakes fist a writer's block*

But on a good note, Lou finally says it! Woo!

Warning: Slapping, kissing, implications of sex, cigarettes, and Dogmeat

Sarah lights up a cigarette, taking a long drag to the tobacco, and sighs out the smoke. Sitting up against the sheet metal wall of the clinic in Megaton, she sighs again, looking up at the night sky. "It's been a week," she thinks to herself, scratching behind Dogmeat's ears, smiling at the dog. Resting her head against the sheet metal of the clinic she turns her head to the side, as she hears the door open. Poking his head around the door, Lucifer gives Sarah a lazy smile. "Hey, you're supposed to be in bed," she says, lightly scolding him.

His smile growing into a full blown smirk, Lucifer softly closes the door behind him, "Couldn't sleep," he says, shrugging slightly. Walking over he sits down next to Dogmeat, leaning his head against the metal wall, and looking over at her.

"Liar," she snorts softly, cigarette hanging out of her mouth. She smirks slightly as Lucifer places his hand on his chest.

"You wound me, Sarah," he says, mocking pain, and giving her a small puppy dog face.

"Don't puppy dog face me, Lou. I'm immune to your charms." Sarah rolls her eyes, and takes the cigarette out, tapping off the ashes as Lucifer gives her an over-exaggerated wink.

Sitting in silence, Lucifer looks down, dropping the playful smirk and donning a more serious look and tone; looking back up at Sarah, looking into her eyes. "I'm sorry," he mutters to her quietly. Taking a long drag of her cigarette, Sarah nods to him to continue. Taking a deep breath, Lucifer steady's himself, before continuing, "I'm sorry, Sarah. I slept with other women when we were together. I was never in love with them, I-I guess I was just scared. Hmph, the Lone Wanderer, afraid, imagine that. I think I just got caught up in my own legend. Truth is, I was scared of being normal.

"I have done so many impossible things, that being normal for once, terrified me; that the wasteland would bury me, and I wouldn't matter anymore." Looking away from Sarah, Lucifer looks up at the night sky, "I thought that if I wasn't important, then you wouldn't want me, just some . . . waster," Closing his eyes, Lucifer sighs softly.

"But, thanks to Gob, Nova, and Glade, I realized I was being selfish. I never thought how you felt; I was worried about my own problems and not thinking of yours. And when you came here a week ago, I finally saw that, it didn't matter what emotional or physical state I was in, you'd still love me. When I was at my lowest, you came to me, comforted me." Reaching out for her hand, Lucifer rested his hand on top of hers, which was buried in Dogmeat's fur. Turning his head to face her, he opens his eyes looking into hers. "Sarah, I love you. I-I know, I haven't said it, and my recent actions don't match up with my words, but I love you. A-And I promise, I won't go sleep with other women, I'll give up my drinking, I'll do anything just to be near you."

Taking her hand away, Sarah stands up, crushing her cigarette under her boot. "Stand up," she orders making a quick motion with her hand. Lucifer scrambles to stand up, standing a foot away from her. Crack! Her hand connects with his cheek, whipping his head to the right. "That's for sleeping with all those women," she mutters softly as he looks at her again, rubbing her cheek gently. Closing the distance, Sarah locks her lips with Lucifer, all of her heart poured into the kiss. Pulling back, she leans her forehead against his, "And I love you too."

Reaching up, Lucifer cups her cheeks, rubbing small circles with his thumbs, while Sarah runs her fingers through his hair. Looking deeply into her eyes, he inches closer to her, "I've been such an idiot," he mutters softly.

Smirking slightly, Sarah nods her head gently, "Yes, you have. Now, shut up and kiss me."

Chuckling softly, Lucifer angles his head slightly, "Aye, Sentinel," he mutters bringing his lips to hers again.

Gob smiles, looking down at the pair kissing, with Nova leaning her head on his shoulder, "Kid finally took our advice," he mutters to her, wrapping an arm around her.

Nova smiles, looking up at Gob before turning her attention back to Lucifer and Sarah, "Took him long enough, his stupid stubborn-headedness was getting in the way of love."

Leaning his head to the side, Gob kisses the top of Nova's head, pulling her closer. After looking down at the couple for a few moments, Gob turns to Nova again, "Have I ever told you that I love you?"

Nova giggles, looking up at him, "Yes you have. Several times a day," she smiles, placing a hand on his chest.

Gob smirks, leaning his head down to kiss her lips softly, "Good, because I love you." Sneaking a hand down, Gob grabs Nova's rear, squeezing it.

Grinning up at him, she starts tracing designs into his shirt, "Looking for some fun, Johnny Boy?" Laughing softly, Gob smacks her rear lightly. Nova jumps up, wrapping her legs around Gob's waist, kissing him deeply and passionately. Grabbing onto his shirt, she looks him in the eyes, "I love you," she whispers to him.

"I love you too," Gob whispers back to her, heading back to the saloon.
