A/N: I haven't updated in a while but this idea just popped into my head for Christmas :)
I've been sooo busy with a load of stuuuff... Sorry :o Here yous go anyways :)
Happy Christmas everyone :)
A Christmas To Remember.
General POV.
Valkyrie was sitting with her legs out in front of her beside the fire in a red silk nightgown, watching the flames lick at the spine of the chimney.
"Happy Christmas." She heard a whisper in her ear. She knew the voice well, she'd been hearing it since she was twelve. Not quite so seductive as this though.
"It's Christmas eve to you." Valkyrie replied, feeling Skulduggery's arms slithering around her waist and his body coming closer to hers.
"Technicality doesn't matter."
"It always matters Skulduggery."
Skulduggery responded by kissing her neck softly just below her jaw bone. Valkyrie bit her lip and sighed as his lips trailed down, giving her shivers up her spine.
"Kenspeckle would not be pleased." She sighed, shaking her head.
"You're bringing up a four hundred year old man when I'm doing this? That's a real turn on right there."
Valkyrie laughed and turned around to face him. His dark brown hair was messy but straight, his blue eyes wore scorching as the amber flames reflected in them and his pale lips were tilted into a smirk.
"Men..."
"men?" Skulduggery said raising his eyebrows at her.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot. Boys."
Skulduggery laughed.
"Boy?" He growled as her tackled her and *somehow* ended up on top.
Valkyrie sighed and looked at the clock. Midnight.
"Happy Christmas Skul." She smiled up at him.
Skulduggery looked at the clock and double-taked, he jumped up and pulled Valkyrie with him.
"Stay here!" He commanded, grinning and disappearing out the door.
Valkyrie was left standing beside the fire pulling a weird face at the spot where Skulduggery just was.
He came back into the room a moment later carrying a little black suede jewellery box.
"Presents?" Valkyrie clapped her hands and laughed.
Skulduggery looked nervous. Then she saw why.
He went down on one knee and looked up at her, opening the box to reveal a silver ring with a clear crystal diamond set into the middle of it, and smaller ones beside the large one. Valkyrie jaw dropped.
"Ohmygod."
"Valkyrie.."
"Ohmygod. Ohmygod."
Skulduggery smiled and went to say something.
"Ohmygod." Valkyrie said in shock.
"Valkyrie. I love you. More than anyone I've ever loved. You're my soul mate, my other half and my partner in crime," He grinned. "I'd like to say "I've loved you since the moment I met you" But that would be perverted. Seeing as you were twelve. And you were my best friends daughter. But I knew that we'd be great friends, I never expected us to be this close, but here we are. And I would love if you became my wife Valkyrie Cain, Stephanie Edgley, Darquesse. I love you so much. Will you do me the fantastic honour of agreeing to be my wife?"
"Oh. My. God." Valkyrie said, completely stunned.
"It's a yes or no question Valkyrie." Skulduggery said, starting to look just a tad worried.
They stood there in silence for another minute.
"Yes." Valkyrie finally said, a smile spreading on her face.
Skulduggery grinned happily and pulled her into his arms.
"Happy Christmas to you too." He said, kissing her softly.
A/N: Slightly soppy I know..
But I trieeed to inject at least SOME humour into it..
Anyway... Fifteen minutes to go in Ireland til Christmas..
