My first Dexkyrie, don't judge.

Linger, Guy Sebastian

Dexter and Valkyrie, walked together in the car park, from the Sanctuary. Skulduggery had been needed for something else and Dexter was her parnter in crime to fill in for the skeleton.

"So, Val, I was thinking... Did... did you want to come round for dinner, or?"

"Um... Yeah sure. Why not?"

"Ok, cool. So I'll, um, pick you up at aroun 8p.m., kay?"

"Yep."

"Right, well I'll see you soon Valkyrie."

"Okay, Dexter."

They parted ways, both of them feeling flustered...

Valkyrie P.O.V

I can not believe what was happening. The hottest guy in the world just asked me out to his place for dinner.

Does that clarify as a date?

Oh my god, if it did. Dexter Vex was finally making a very long awaited move. I walked over to my old jeep and drove towards Gordon's.

Gordon was actually fully alive now, and it was awesome. China and Kenspeckle had found a way to work together, which is miracle itself, and brought him back to life.

I pulled up our drive way and kicked open the door.

"Gordon, I'm home!"

"Okay, Valkyrie. I'm in my study!"

No suprise there. That man, always in that bloody study. One would have thought that with a second chance at life you'd get out a bit right? But no, Gordan had gone straight back to his old ways. I suppose old habbits really do die hard, or maybe not at all.

I walked into the kitchen and pulled out two mugs, as Gordon trudged down the stairs.

"Anything new happen at the Santuary today?"

"Um... That...that deppends..."

"Valkyrie," his voice dropped into a warning, "what did you do?"

"Nothing!" I protested. But I might as well have been speaking to a brick wall, because he didn't seem to notice.

"Ravel is a very busy man Valkyrie. And if you want him to get Skulduggery back from this case to give to another person, you're going to have to wait."

"Gordan! If you just let me finish, you would know that Skulduggery can take as long as he likes. Dexter is helping me out with a few cases until Skul gets back. I'm also going around to Dexter's tonight... For dinner..."

Dexter's P.O.V

Wow. Did that just really happen? Well if it did, then I had better tred carefully. If Skulduggery got back to a broken-hearted Valkyrie, I'm gonna have to run real fast.

That damn skeleton is damn scary.

I watched her walk away, and saw the way her muscles coiled beneath her shirt. She was pretty damn scary too, so there is no guessing what the two will do to me. Good thing I don't plan on crushing her pretty little heart. I'm gonna actually see if this one will work. And hopefully it will.

Hopefully.

When I was back at my apartment in Dublin City, I cleaned up and tried to bake a chicken.

Valkyrie's P.O.V

I sighed as I tried on the 5th dress tonight. Do I even have to friggen dress up? Why couldn't I just... I don't know...wear my combat gear?

At least I would be able to properly kill him if this was a set up... I've been spending way too much time with that damn skeleton.

I decided to just go with a black top that said #NOOB, a camo jacket, jeans, and black Jordans. My hair in a messy bun, my make up a bare minimum of mascara and lip gloss.

Just as I sat on the couch and call Gordon downstairs, someone knocked on the door.

I jumped up and looked at it. My heart beating fast.

Can I do this...?

General P.O.V

Valkyrie walked towards the door and opened it, to find a very, very, very handsome Dexter Vex

Holy Shit... He's Hot!

Valkyrie told her sub concious to shut up, as Dexter extended an arm and led her down to his black Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

She looked at it in awe. She didn't think that anything could look better then the gleaming black Bentley. She liked the way the deep blue faded out across the doors.

Dexter waved a hand in front of her face.

"Like something you see?"

"Yeah... I don't know which looks best, you or your car."

He grinned at her and opened her door.

When they stopped outside of a resturaunt she frowned.

"What happened to your apartment?"

She looked over at him, just in time to see him blush and look down at his hands.

"I...I can't cook chicken... I saw it there w... with its arms and... its legs..." His voice cracked.

She burst out laughing.

"You... You felt sorry for a dead chicken?" She laughed even harder.

"No!" His voice quitened, "I felt sorry for its family."

She got out of the car, walked around to his side and helped him out of the car.

"S'kay, Dex. You have a soft heart."

She led him inside and they sat down at a table for two, by the window.

"But I shouldn't have a soft heart. I've been to war. And killed people easily. And I cried over a damn CHICKEN!"

Valkyrie was about to say something when the waitress came over to order their food and drinks. Once that was over they went back to talking. Staying on safe topics. Making fun of other people, watching their facial expressions, and trying to interpret what they were thinking. They talked about Skulduggery's ego, and how funny it would be to see Scapegrace beat Skulduggery in a fight. They talked about Ravel, and how he was a terrible Grand Mage. And before they knew it the night was coming to end and they were back at Gordan's.

"Do you wanna come in?"

"I... I actually have to go and clean up my kitchen..."

She smile and nodded. He leaned over and kissed her, long and slow. His strong arms lifting her and pulling her onto his lap, before wrapping themselves around her waist, tightening as if he thought she was going to disapear.

"Valkyrie... I love you..."

"I love you too, Dexter."

"I have to go... If I don't go I won't be able to control myself, and I don't want to hurt you, Val. I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

He went back to kissing her and all thoughts of leaving disolved from existence. He kissed her harder, stronger, deeper. And it wasn't until there was a knock on the passenger window that they stopped. Valkyrie looked up and saw the familiar silhouette of a certain skeleton.

She gave Dexter one last kiss, and climbed out of the car, to tell Skulduggery about the most perfect night of her life.
