A simple fluff story, a bit of angst.

Humility, a one word way to describe the girl before me. Morally perfect, humble, independent, open minded, and caring to the point of willing to be shot to help another. The girl herself has been through hell and back and found a way to cling to her humanity and keep a good heart through it all. She looks up from her book, she smirks softly as I shift my eyes from her to elsewhere. She is sitting across the room from me, warmly looking at me from her sofa she's seated in.

"What are you thinking about" she quizzes, I lay back relaxing on the couch. I think for a moment of telling her a lie but that would rip me up later. I take in a slow shaky breath, the only girl in these wastelands that can make me nervous.

"Thinking of all the good things you've done for the commonwealth and how amazing you are," I say, keeping my cool I lay down completely and rest my eyes. All I can hear is the sounds of the commonwealth and the soft patter of Dogmeat walking inside. I sigh, I must have freaked her out. Why would she enjoy the attention of an ugly mug like me? Before I knew it I felt a weight on top of me, at first I believe it's Dogmeat. Looking down I see instead of the mutt, I see her looking into my eyes with care and something I can't recognize. She lays her head on my chest and hums happily, I feel my heart flutter at this small action of affection.

"You make a wonderful pillow just so you know," she says smiling up at me. I let out a joyful laugh, I enjoy how sweet she is. She laughs too but stops, a serious look coming across her face.

"You know Handcock, I can read people like their books. And what I get from you is a caring, passionate, outgoing, ghoul. But I also read that you worry, about yourself and others, you hesitate often, not in battle but in our conversations, and you always have a negative look upon yourself." she say pausing to take a breath and let me take it in. My breathing becomes shallow, she's hitting sensitive spots.

"I'm sorry- I know that I shouldn't have-" I'm stopped quickly by her lips in my, a simple peck but enough to shut me up.

"I know it all leads to you being scared that I'll leave you, that anyone will leave for whatever reasoning. But I need you to know that I'll never leave you, that I'm here for you, and that I- I love you Handcock" I watch her explain this taking the details in slowly, her eyes begin to water as she speaks and I notice I too am doing the same. I reach out as she finishes her speech, taking her face in my hands.

"I love you too," I say before pressing my lips to hers, she kisses back this time letting it last longer than the short one a moment ago.

"NO PDA" I hear Preston yelling at us, we both burst out laughing.
