Confessions of love are difficult.

Take, for example, the case of Skulduggery and Tanith. They were circling delicately around the subject for half of forever, both wondering if they should, in fact, confess, if it would, in fact, be wise.

And when they did, it was all awkward and blurted, but the best thing about it was that they had gotten it over with. They turned out to be quite a good match when they actually stopped stumbling over themselves trying to be polite.

Or, for another example, Caelan and Fletcher. Fletcher didn't want to say it because he thought Caelan would think him an idiot, and Caelan didn't want to because he thought everyone else would.

They've attempted a good dozen times apiece, but still haven't quite managed it, somehow…


A/N: Yep.

Apologies for missing a day- I was busy throwing up, sleeping and generally being in an airplane :L
