It was rough keeping a big secret from Charlie. Even though she accepted her now and they were on good terms, things were still very stressful. Her wings contributed to that factor as well. They reminded her of what she did before Charlie found her and it gave her a lot of guilt. A few panic attacks later, she decided to talk about it to Charlie one day, hoping that she'll feel better.
Despite Charlotte being the princess of hell and showcasing what she's capable of a few times, vaggie was never scared but vaggie often wonder if she's good enough for Charlie. Again! She was literally the princess of hell, born of royalty and here she was a traitorous angel that disobeyed orders to kill.
This could definitely be because the first time she saw Charlotte at her "worst" was when she went ham on velvette. As an ex exorcist, vaggie values strength and loyalty. So, for Charlotte to have done what she did, it only made her feelings grow.

"What do you do when... you feel so ashamed for being an angel that you think it would be better if you were gone?" Vaggie asked sitting on their bed.
"That's a tough question. Mind telling me why you feel ashamed first?" Charlie asked.
"You come from Royal blood and I was an exorcist for years. I killed so many and hurt many more. I lied to you, I lied to my friends, I even lied to myself. I kept saying that it was okay but it wasn't! Nothing is okay! I'm not fucking okay! I'm a murderer...." vaggie confessed. "I wasn't even punished! I- I deserve to feel hurt and pain. I deserve agony but no one will give it to me. My stupid wings are a constant reminder of the monster I am," She began to stumble on her words as her lip began to quiver. She's held so much in that she was an absolute mess now that she was talking about it. It made her headspace immediately fall like a bag of sand being thrown off the nearest cliff and into the deepest ocean.
Before she knew it, she started crying, sobbing even. Charlie got really worried and moved to sit next to her. She wrapped her arms around her shaking body. She was very much ugly crying. The hiccuping, hyperventilating kind too. Why was her girlfriend giving her comfort. She should be upset with her.
"Vaggie, you don't deserve any pain. You've changed. You're not deserving of a punishment anymore. You deserve comfort and help," she told her in a calm, gentle voice. "You're important, you know that?" Charlie suddenly said, caressing her face with her thumbs.
Vaggie smiled back at her, "I-I think you're important too.."
"You're special, sweetheart. Don't forget that. I- I love you a lot, alright? You're important, special, wonderful, amazing, anything that goes into that category."
Vaggie's feathers puffed out and giggled, "I love you a lot as well, awesome, amazing, special, wonderful girlfriend." They stared at each other giggling softly and grinning widely.
Charlie averted her eyes for a second and then leaned in a bit closer as if she were sharing a secret, "babe Can I kiss you again?"
Vaggie blushed and her eyes widened a little, "Mhm." She replied quietly.

Charlie used her advantage of having her hands on vaggie's face and bringing them together. Vaggie tightened her hold on Charlie's back and they met each other in the middle. The kiss was soft and sweet, nearly like their first kiss. their lips perfectly fitting together.
After a few seconds of kissing, they pulled away for air. They both looked at her like they were the most perfect person in the universe
Charlie laid her down in bed before she took off her shoes and climbed in too. She seemed very clingy so she definitely would need to cuddle with her.
Charlie felt content once she heard soft snoring coming from her girlfriend. It was a peaceful sight, knowing that she was no longer fighting her inner demons.
Notes:
A comfort request for snoopykid, I apologize if this isn't what you're asking
They've been together for three years and already have that comfort level with each other that not everything is a new discovery. They accept each other's differences and just support. That's what a well established relationship is like.
Of course they are still heavily affectionate and loving with each other because duh, they're in love. Society loves to repeat the bullshit "losing the spark" problem in relationships and how "marriage is so hard" but most of these situations are people that barely even like each other let alone love.
