Chapter Text
Skulduggery grumbled. It had been a long day. There was a scratch on his car and people just kept singing. The same songs every time. Couldn’t they be more original?
“Don’t be such a Grinch.”
“I’ll be a Grinch all I like.”
Valkyrie sighed, Skulduggery pulled over.
“Sorry, grumble all you like. I am going to go and enjoy Christmas Eve with my family, it’s going to be warm and fuzzy and make me forget about all the zombies.” She unbuckled her belt, “If the world is about to end, don’t call me.”
“OK.”
“No wait, if it is actually ending, call me.”
He paused, “OK.”
Valkyrie pulled something from her pocket and hung it from the mirror. Before he could register what has happening, a hand was on his shoulder and a kiss was placed on his jaw.
“Mistletoe,” she said. Like that explained everything. She slid out of the car. The sound of the door closing brought him back to his senses.
He called after her, “Merry Christmas, Valkyrie.”
She smiled, “Merry Christmas, Skulduggery.”
