LIPLESS LIP-LOCK

VCPOV

Today was somewhat strange but interesting. I asked Skul if he can drop me off at my new house, I can't be bothered with my reflection. Besides I'm too tired.

GEPOV.

Valkyrie lazily walked inside extremely tired. Gordon was working on his latest book.

"Hey, I'm going to bed. Good night." she said, trudging upstairs.

"OK!" he said, not really listening, "good night!".

Valkyrie slugged into bed. Minutes from falling asleep, Fletcher teleports ride beside her, under the covers.

"Hey beautiful." He said stroking her hair.

Valkyrie didn't register the fact that this is not Skulduggery, she was to tired, "Hi." she said turning to face Fletcher, keeping her eyes closed, "Where were you?"

"Visiting around, here and there. I was saving Australia for you." He answered softly. Valkyrie was planning to rub a Skul, instead she was pricked by law-defying hair. "Fletcher! Get out."

"Why sweetie?" Her hand found its way to his chest and said, "Because I'm not wearing anything." her and splayed making him crash into the wall.

"Oh, really?" His voice was trying to sound seductive and sexy.

"Get out." Valkyrie said, quickly slipping on a robe when Fletcher wasn't looking.

"Why? You were so much more fun 2 weeks ago." Fletcher more confused than usual.

"That was not me, that was my reflection! You idiot."

"Oh, OK, I'm still taking you though."

"No you're not!" She said, keeping him from entering the bathroom as she changed.

Fletcher flashed in the bathroom, fortunately Valkyrie just finished pulling down her shirt. damn thought Fletcher. He grabbed hold of her than flashed her in that beach shack.

"Fletcher." her voice was being carried to a shout, "take me back, or I swear to god you'll never see the lights of day again."

Fletcher leaned in fast before Valkyrie could react. His lips reached hers. Expecting for her to turn away, but she didn't, she followed his lead and continued. They both stayed like that for moments that felt like hours. Valkyrie closed her eyes, she felt the warmth of Fletcher and not the bone of Skulduggery. Valkyrie wanted this, but she loved Skulduggery. This wasn't right.

She pulled away slowly and said, "Please take me back."

He looked stunned but didn't refuse, he got what he wanted. Valkyrie was back in Ireland with mixed emotions. Fletcher looked at her and sighed and actually felt bad and said, "I'm so sorry, Valkyrie. I didn't mean for this, I just wanted to prove that I'm better, but I made myself worse that Skulduggery. I'm truly sorry." he begged.

Valkyrie said nothing as Fletcher flashed away. She slumped down the stairs to talk to Gordon.

"I need to tell you something." She said.

"What is it?" Gordon replied as he turned towards her.

"I-I kissed Fletcher." Valkyrie admitted.

"Oh, di-did you like it?"

"I don't know, it's like a wanted it but not at the same time. I half to tell him, don't I?"

"I think it's wise." Valkyrie sighed and tried to call Skulduggery but his found was off.

Fletcher flashed in front of Skulduggery's house and knocked. Skukduggery opened the door and crossed his arms.

"What do you want?" He demanded.

"It's about me and Valkyrie-" he was cut short.

"What did you do?"

"I took her with me and I kissed her…" He expected for Skulduggery to hit him instead Skulduggery said, "and?"

"… I was just aiming for a peck but she didn't pull away for a few moments. I decided to tell you because I made her feel really bad. She really does love you, I'm sorry."

Skulduggery said nothing. He just closed the door in Fletcher's face than he flashed away.

VCPOV

I woke up, not finding Fletcher. That kiss, why didn't I turn away? I thought long last night, I want what Fletcher has to offer but I love Skulduggery. I'm not sure. I'm so confused.

SPOV

Does Valkyrie love him? I hope not. Than did she not push him away?

GEPOV

Skulduggery picked up Valkyrie at her house and they headed for the Sanctuary.

"Um, Skulduggery I need to tell you something." Although he knew what she was going to say he let her continue, "I kissed Fletcher last night."

"I know." His voice was hard but easy, "Fletcher told me last night. He is sorry."

"It's not that. I-I…," her voice was turned to a breath, "I love you. But I didn't push him away, I don't know why. I th-think I still have feelings for him, I hope not. I'm so, so sorry, please forgive me." She turned her face away as her burning eyes released a tear.

Skulduggery sighed and looked at Valkyrie who was quietly sobbing. He rubbed her backside trying to calm her down.

"It's OK, you didn't mean to, I forgive you." His voice was velvety. Valkyrie stopped and faced Skulduggery and said, "Thank you. I love you." those words felt new and awkward to her.

"I love you too." he quietly admitted.

They both leaned in, anticipating the moment. Inches from each other Skulduggery could feel her warmth. They reached each others mouths. Bone to flesh. It was blissful, nothing mattered then, except them in a lipless lip-lock. Skulduggery felt almost alive again. Valkyrie felt more alive than ever.

They both pulled back and said nothing as they drove to the Sanctuary.

It was a rush for me to write this, I got an idea from my reader who reviews the most, Cranium mischief. They suggested for Valkyrie to kiss Fletcher. I thought it was perfect, we've all been waiting for this moment. At the moment I don't have a boyfriend my luckily my friends do, they told me about their first kiss with they're "friend" I referenced from the movies, experiences and how Derek who puts it. The term "lipless lip-lock" I read on lots of Deviant art works between these to characters.

I also want to you to search up it's really important to stop the LRA. And make Kony brought to justice. At the beginning of this paragraph did you know he is? Look at Derek's latest blog, I needed I tissue box.
