Happy Birthday My dear Mithria <3
The gleaming Bentley looked so out of place against the old backround of the city as it glided through. The people of Dublin still stared but as they got closer to Harogen, the townspeople have gotten used to the unusual sight. They give a quick glance and go back to their business, they don't even try to see who the driver is anymore, they've given up. Valkyrie hated coming here since the reflection took over her life but there was only one place that still calmed her. The port looking out to the dark blue Ocean, her and Skdulduggery sit for hours, staring out at the choppy water, just talking. They stopped there now, moonlight shining and reflecting off the car, Skulduggery got out, took off his shades and scarf, throwing them on the seat and pressed on his collarbones where the hidden symbols China drew were. A face appeared over his skull and she grabbed the handle of the door tightly to stop herself from going over to him. The face he wore had chestnut brown eyes, plush pink lips and soft flowing brown hair that falls just past his ears. That beautiful face turned towards her and she froze.
"Are you getting out?," he noticed the expression on her face, "what is it?"
"Skulduggery...your face..." she gasped
He looked at her, confused, then looked at himself in the side mirror. He looked in closer and suddenly stopped dead, his expression unreadable.
"Skulduggery...is that - is that your face? your real one?" Valkyrie asked, still staring.
After a long pause, he looked at her again. "Yes...it is"
Skulduggery looked at that mirror and thought back to the days when he looked like that, before he died, before his family died in front of him, before Vile. The man he used to be.
"You're beautiful..." Valkyrie muttered then quickly covered her mouth.
Skulduggery turned back to her, here with his partner, here with this wonderful women he has watched blossom since she was 12, he wouldn't have changed a single thing.
"As are you." He said.
Valkyrie blushed and got out of the car and walked over to the edge of the port and had her legs dangling over it. He walked over and sat beside her.
"You know...you remind me of her sometimes..."
"Your wife?"
"Yes...she liked watching the moon rise too."
"What was she like?"
"A lot like you. She was funny, very stubborn at times, beautiful and caring."
They turned to each other and the wind blew her hair across her face. He reached over slowly and tucked it behind her ear but didn't pull away. He cupped her cheek and leaned in close. Those lips. His lips, touched hers and he was about to pull away when she kissed him back, not wanting it to end. He hesitated, a bit shocked, then moved his other hand to support her back. Her arms went round his neck and pulled him closer. They kissed passionately under the glow of the moon as it rose higher into the night.
He pulled away. "Valkyrie...-" he broke off as she leaned in to kiss him again. He leaned back.
"Valkyrie stop, I shouldn't have done that...you're still a child." He looked out at the Ocean.
"Skulduggery, I'm 18, I'm not a child now, we're partners, we're best friends. you can trust me...but you can't leave it like this."
He leaned back so much that he now lay on his back, Valkyire leaned over him, hair tickling his face. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists, not wanting to push her off but not really wanting her to continue. She pressed another kiss on his lips and leaned down towards his neck. He tensed as he felt the warmth of her breath and screwed his eyes tighter as she kissed his neck. He lost control and flipped her on her back so fast she didn't even see it happen. He rested his head on her chest, still hunched over her on all fours.
"Why do you tease me so...?" He asked, almost a whisper against her ear.
"Because I love you Skulduggery." She said.
He shot up to look at her, laying there, eyes sparkling in the moonlight with fiery, playful eyes. "I love you too, Valkyrie."
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
