Sorry I havent updated in a while, no real reason. NOTE-Fletcher and Valkyrie are NOT together in this.

Review!

The morning light pierced through the hotel window of the newly found couple. Valkyrie stirred and opened her eyes slightly to see Skulduggery perched on the end of her bed, already dressed. He kissed her forehead and smiled gently at her.

'Good morning,' he said softly. She smiled back at him.

'Morning.'

'Sleep well?' Valkyrie raised an eyebrow at him. He laughed.

'Sorry, stupid question.' She sat up slowly, wrapping the duvet around her chest.

'Tea?' He asked her. She nodded. Skulduggery stood up and switched on the kettle. He spun back round to look at her.

'So.'

'So.' He said, leaning against the wall.

'...So.' Skulduggery laughed again.

'Are you okay?'

'Why wouldn't I be?' She said, frowning slightly. He bit his lip.

'I was just wandering if you were okay with, you know, all of this...' Her frown faded to a smile.

'Come here.' Skulduggery did as he was told and sat back down on her bed. She held his gloved hands and looked at him.

'Skulduggery-yesterday I told you that I loved you, and you said the same. Trust me, I've loved you a lot longer than just one day-and I'm guessing that you've loved me for a while too.' He nodded furiously.

'You know that not everyone will agree to us.'

'Then let them disagree.'

'People might think that we're sick.' She sighed.

'The world will follow after.' He looked at her.

'I love you.'

'I love you too.' Skulduggery shrugged.

'Of course-who wouldn't?' Valkyrie shook her head.

'Oh shut up!' She kissed his cheek and pulled him into a hug. He smirked and parted when the kettle boiled. He grabbed a white mug from behind it and poured in the hot water. After adding the teabag and milk, he tilted his head slightly back at her.

'Do you still take about eighteen sugars?'

'...Three.' He grunted and stirred in the sugars and fished the teabag out of the mug. He turned back around and handed her the mug.

'Thanks,' she said, taking it from him. He shrugged and sat on the end of the bed.

'Is it alright?' She took a sip from it.

'Perfect.'

'I know I am.' She rolled her eyes.

'Anyway...are we going to tell Ghastly and Tanith about us?' Skulduggery hesitated and straightened his tie.

'...Ghastly wouldn't take it very well at all; Tanith would be fine, but she'll tell him. I'd wait until a few weeks after the wedding.'

'Good idea.'

'Indeed.' He paused, and sighed. Valkyrie tilted her head slightly at him.

'What are you thinking?' Skulduggery shook his head.

'I don't know darling, I just think, you know, people will think that I took advantage of you.' Valkyrie rolled her eyes and put the mug on the bedside table.

'Of course they will-but those people are stupid, heartless and confused. It doesn't matter how many times we'll have to say that our love is genuine; they'll take off those rose-tinted glasses one day. They'll see that this love is all very much real.'

'...How long have you been working on that speech?' She laughed.

'A while.' She kissed him, feeling his fingers slowly tracing over her collarbone.

And then that familiar 'pop' echoed out within that hotel room.

Fletcher Renn looked at the two of them, and screamed. Valkyrie and Skulduggery broke apart and stared at him.

'Bloody hell!' Valkyrie yelped.

'I could say the same thing!' Said Fletcher. Skulduggery nodded slowly.

'I can see why you could be confused.' Fletcher snarled slightly.

'You sick, twisted, disgusting-' Valkyrie frowned.

'Shut up Fletcher.' He looked at her.

'What? Valkyrie, he used you-'

'Not at all.'

'Yes, come on, let's get out of here!' She sighed.

'Skul, can you give us a minute?'

'Of course.' Skulduggery stood up and walked to the bathroom, closing the door behind him. He leaned against the door, catching snippets of the conversation on the other side of it.

'But it's sick!'

'It's real, Fletch.'

'He's a skeleton!' Skulduggery heard Valkyrie sigh.

'I know-and frankly, I don't give a damn. I made up my mind a long time ago, and, I want the him for who he is, because I love him.' Skulduggery sighed affectionately and leaned his head against the door. He couldn't hear those words enough times. After a few more seconds of quiet arguing, Skulduggery heard a 'you can come back now, I've calmed him down.' He nodded to himself and opened the door, stepping in to the main room. Fletcher was sitting on the sofa, the sides of his face resting in his hands, Valkyrie obviously still in bed, duvet still firmly wrapped around her chest.

'You really love her, don't you?' Fletcher said.

'More than you could ever imagine.' Skulduggery said. Valkyrie looked at Skulduggery and smiled at him. His eyes flickered to hers, a quiet smile meeting her own. Fletcher sighed at the two of them.

'Take good care of each other, yeah? I knew you two were perfect for each other.'

'Why did you come here anyway?' Valkyrie asked. Fletcher gave a small shrug.

'I was just wandering if Skulduggery had a spare tie for me to borrow- I brought one with me for the wedding, but it's got curry on it.' Skulduggery smirked and took his own tie off, throwing it to him.

'I want that back by next week.' Fletcher nodded, and then hesitated.

'You suit each other, you know that?' Valkyrie smiled at him.

'Thanks Fletch.' He nodded sheepishly, and disappeared. Skulduggery and Valkyrie looked at each other.

'Do you think we suit each other?'

'Who knows-probably.' She smiled at him, looked at the wardrobe and gasped, clapping her free hand over her mouth. Skulduggery cocked his head at her, frowning.

'What?' She nodded at the wardrobe handle. He looked at it, and raised his eyebrows.

'That would have been the first thing that Fletcher saw when he teleported in here.' Valkyrie said quietly. Her bra was hanging by one strap on the handle.

'I see...' Skulduggery said. They looked back at each other, and laughed.
