Without further ado and, because of the high demand, here is Dexven. Enjoy!
Holding Out For A Hero-Jennifer Saunders-3:57
"If you wanted Raven, why capture me?" Dexter raised an eyebrow as he looked over at the now very twisted princess.
"Because…because…I don't have to tell you!" Apple insisted.
"Okay…"
Outside of where Apple held Dexter captive, Raven rushed forwards on Nevermore's wings. She wasn't sure that her pet dragon should be flying so fast…
"Darling…are you sure that this is safe?" Raven turned to her co-pilot.
"Safe?" Darling was wearing her armor, "This is effective, none of the heroic stuff is ever technically 'safe'…"
That was comforting. Nevermore landed with halt and Darling quickly outfitted Raven with a little bit of armor of her own and handed her a sword.
"Now, go! Rush in there and save Dexter," Darling instructed.
"Right…Rush in and…"
"Just go!"
Knowing that she couldn't stand there thinking all night long, Raven ran at full speed ahead and stormed the castle.
"DEXTER!" She screamed his name as she entered the castle. She was here to save him and nothing was going to stop her from doing so.
Not every princess needed to be saved.
Propuesta Indecent-Romeo Santos-3:55
"Raven…" Dexter could barely believe his eyes.
The singer at this soiree was none other than Raven Queen! He could feel his heart threatening to stop or bust right out of his chest.
When she finished her first set, he rushed over to the bar to catch her…He hoped he didn't look desperate, he wasn't it…It was just, she was so gort and…gort!
"Hey, Dex," Raven offered a shy smile, "I didn't think I was going to see anyone I knew here."
"Oh…yeah, uh…Oh! I'm sorry, hi Raven! Hi, I um…how is your night?"
"It's alright, I might have to get out of here right after my set is over…" Raven looked up from the bar and gazed upwards towards the second floor.
She was looking at her manager; she'd sold a piece of her soul if only not to be forced to follow a destiny that she didn't want to follow. She wanted to get away more than anything else. And, her expression told Dexter everything that he needed to know.
"Why don't we get out of here, right now?" Dexter felt his heroic instincts flowing through him.
Not waiting any longer, Raven grabbed onto him and they left.
Adorn-Miguel-2:33
While it might be out there, Dexter liked describing Raven's laughter as his personal safety net. When she laughed, he was certain that everything was going to be alright and, that nothing was impossible.
In her eyes, he could very much see a world where there was no being forced to follow pre-written destinies and, everyone could write their own stories. The cookie-cutter stories that their parents had gone through would turn into ancient history, as they were meant to.
With both of these very special components of her, Dexter decided to make it his mission to guard them, to love and protect Raven through anything.
He was certain that his love could do so; it was true and came from deep down in his heart. They could conquer it all, he was sure of it.
Damaged-Danity Kane-4:06
It was not easy to do this sort of thing. Now, Dexter had never expected to be so lucky and to finally be able to have a relationship with Raven. However, if everything went storybook perfect, nothing would be amiss...
But, since having rescued Raven from the contract that she made from selling a piece of her soul and not pledging her destiny, while she had been freed, she was battling a new trouble now.
Her heart was breaking steadily. Not because of anything that Dexter did but, because the sorcerer Raven had trusted had cursed her. They were seeking help currently from anyone else that they knew was capable of magic.
"The way that this looks," Maddie explained as she pulled up a musty old book, "Dexter, you have to learn some magic and be the one to fix Raven's heart because, you are the one truly in love with her. True love can break any enchantment, you know."
"Dexter, you don't…" Raven started.
"Yes, I do!" The Charming Prince insisted, "Raven, I will do anything for you. This included."
Nodding in understanding, Raven wondered how Dexter would begin practicing magic.
If I Knew-Bruno Mars-2:12
Dexter held tighter onto Raven. Being cuddled up next to one another was wonderful, it felt so right.
It was crazy how long it had taken to get here: To their happily ever after.
There had been one too many kidnappings of both of them, too many rescue missions and too many 'almost lost you' times.
Most princesses would have up and left after the first time that they had to go and do the rescuing but, not Raven.
Though, if this was the way that everything was finally meant to work out, Dexter wouldn't change a second of anything past.
Let Me Talk To You/My Love-Justin Timberlake-6:10
While saving damsels from towers and slaying dragons might be considered heroic skills, Dexter thought that just finally gathering the courage to say one's true feelings should be attributed to those heroic skills.
Had he not gotten so fed up with his own cowardice, Raven would have never know his true feelings and, she probably never would have given him the chance either. Not that Dexter was opposed to being approached but, forging a relationship had to have been the last thing on the poor girl's mind while dealing with the destiny conflict.
but, that was in the past now. Currently, he and Raven were thriving as a couple and thriving in their respective choices. Dexter wasn't much for words but, he was a speech writer for the Great Council in his kingdom and, he even served as a part-time cameraman for Blondie Lockes' new MirrorCast. Raven was somewhat of a celebrity by now because of her of a few hit songs she'd put out. But, that fame wasn't changing her at all which was nice.
The only thing that would make this happily ever after more ideal would be a change of names, in this case, Raven's. That was all that was left to do to turn this into a dream come true.
Again, spoken words weren't Dexter's strong suit but, that advice he'd received ages ago, 'putting his feelings on parchment' might be useful once again.
At dinner a few nights later, Dexter slid Raven an envelope at the end of their meal and waited for her to look back up at him.
"Dexter…?" The color flushed from her face, "I…yes!"
Break Your Heart-Taio Cruz-3:34
Villains and destined villains in fact, did not get happily ever afters. What part of that did Dexter misunderstand?
Raven by now had heard plenty of cautionary tales about a bad girl falling love with a good guy. Faybelle had fallen hard for a sweetheart of a knight but, she'd left him over her temper. She had convinced herself that she was going to hurt him one day and, he'd be better off. Plus, now the guy wandered around bars by himself hoping to run into her. He would be a lot better off if she had left him alone in the first place.
Sighing, Raven didn't even want to think about the disaster that Duchess had warned so many people about with some hero she'd messed with and was having trouble quitting…
So, maybe Raven should leave Dexter. She did bring that up last night, she was only going to have been a bigger mistake in the end for the poor prince. If only he could see that for himself.
I Put a Spell On You-Annie Lennox-3:30
Magic was very real, no one in the fairytale world would deny that. However, magic was tricky. Though, some magic was a little more straight forward that other magic.
"If both of you wear these bands, you will never be lost to one another. No matter how far one of you may run…" Had said the old woman running the apothecary that Dexter and Daring had stumbled upon.
Daring was only here for some shine of gold potion for his hair and some purest white of snow oil for his teeth but, Dexter had taken the old woman's offer of the bands.
"What do I owe you?" He asked when he accepted the bands from her.
"Just promise that you will love the girl you're giving the second band to with all of your heart, for the rest of eternity."
When Dexter was about to speak again, the old woman vanished and the bands reappeared in his hands. He'd meant to relay this whole story back to Raven when he got home but, only gave her the band meant for her and left it at that. Their love was unbreakable.
My Getaway-T-Boz-3:41
While traveling with no set return date was something that was more likely of Maddie and Alistair, Dexter and Raven decided to take a cue from their more adventures pals and try their hand at traveling to a strange kingdom and immersing themselves in the the culture.
"Where shall we go?" Dexter brought a map over to Raven.
"I don't know," Raven thought about it, "Why not somewhere with a lot of sand and sun?"
"So, maybe the Kingdom of Sunshire?" Dexter pointed to that on the map.
"That sounds nice, 'sunshire'," She smiled.
A blush crept up on Dexter's cheeks, imaging Raven's smile in the pure sunlight of that kingdom and imaging her walking along the beach; the epitome of beauty.
"Well, let's book ourselves a trip!" Dexter excitedly grabbed his Mirrorphone and opened up the proper app to do this with.
Thinkin' Bout You-Frank Ocean-3:20
Dexter shot up form sleeping when his mind decided to replay the last thing he'd done in this bed besides sleep…
He and Raven had taken each other's virginity right here, in his mess of a room and that had only been two days ago. He was so deep in love that denying it did more harm than not.
Though, Raven had to go and take care of some things. She needed answers over her mother, what to really be doing with her destiny and the like. But, the promise of their love was there.
The pillow next to him still kind of smelled like Raven's midnight hair with that light, lavender and vanilla scent. She seemed so at peace when she slept, despite being her own world of chaos of not knowing deep in her heart.
At least this love was certain and was only on pause.
Oh, and for the record, the 'oil for teeth' thing is a real thing; it's called oil pulling and it makes your teeth whiter but, you have to use a certain type of oil. Look it up online if you need more info. I got pretty deep into a lot of these and wished I had more time than the songs allotted but, I am happy with these overall. Though, of course, I really do wish I could have gone on and on writing about these two. I truly do love them as a couple! Thanks for reading everyone!
