Dating Valkyrie would include...
- You met Valkyrie on your visit to New Asgard
- You were doing a piece on how the people of Asgard came to settle on Earth, and naturally, you were given the grand tour by their very own Valkyrie
- “Brunnhilde, Queen of...well, what’s left of Asgard”
- She respected the title she was given by Thor himself, but she didn’t like to use it. She was just another one of the people and being their leader didn’t change that fact
- Maybe that’s what first drew you to her. She was blunt and painfully honest, but she cared about the people of Asgard
- While she was giving you the tour, she’d greet various people - all of them by name
- It was also clear that she had been running things around here while Thor had gone through his own way of grieving. Seeing her like this, it didn’t surprise you that Thor practically handed her Asgard and left her in charge
- “Why are you doing this thing, anyway? ‘Cause Asgard doesn’t have much of anything anymore,” she had asked you after she had given the tour. There was a hint of defensiveness in her voice, and a part of you could understand how on guard she was now
- “The people of Earth know the stories of Asgard, and what Asgard was before everything went to shit, but they don’t know what Asgard is now. They don’t know who the people are anymore, they don’t know how they live, how their lives operate. It’s to get a better understanding of Asgardians, and to provide more help for them as they continue to find their place here on Earth”
- Brunnhilde had a shit-ton of respect for you then
- She was very protective of Asgard, and she had every right to be. She had been there at Asgard’s demise, had been there when their ship got pummeled by Thanos, had been there as she led those she could to any kind of safe haven
- She could tell you were sincere with what you aimed to do with the information you gathered here, and that you truly wanted to help them
- So as the days you spent in New Asgard turned to weeks, Brunnhilde found herself falling deeper and deeper for you
- You were incredibly kind, and she learned as she watched you that you could also be incredibly affectionate. She began to notice how you’d cover your mouth when you laughed, or how your eyes crinkled when you were confused
- She began to notice everything about you, so much so that it wasn’t becoming subtle anymore
- Even Korg began noticing something was up, and that was saying a lot
- “Don’t you usually do something by now?” Korg asked, motioning over towards you with wild gestures
- “Do what by now?” Brunnhilde was already slightly annoyed; she hated it when others pointed out her feelings
- “Uh...nothing! But I’m pretty sure they like you, too!” Korg left her with that, and it honestly got her thinking
- That same night, she had asked you to dinner
- And you said yes with the brightest smile she had ever seen on your face
- From then on, it was your imperfectly perfect relationship with Brunnhilde
- Valkyrie wasn’t too big on PDA, but if she saw someone eyeing you in a certain way, she’d make sure that they knew you were hers
- In rare moments, she’d hold your hand or plant a kiss on your nose, usually when she was sure no one was watching
- Brunnhilde wasn’t too used to romantic relationships anymore, not since her time with the Valkyries, so she was a little awkward when it came to the more romantic side to your relationship
- She was much better expressing herself through action than with words, and she’d usually show this when the two of you were in the comfort of your shared home
- ‘Cause let’s face it, when half your shit was in New Asgard and you kept spending money to get over there, it became pretty clear you were gonna stay in New Asgard
- And she was practically screaming with her eyes that you live with her
- It didn’t take long for you to become known around New Asgard, and for the people to start coming to you with some matters. They began to see you as Brunnhilde’s second - which wasn’t entirely untrue
- You had been helping Brunnhilde with problems since before the two of you got together, and your involvement only grew after you two became official
- You used your contacts to help the people, and even started a blog featuring them. Your goal was never to give out Asgardian secrets, but to educate the rest of the world on who they were and how they were just like everyone else, just with a little magic
- The closer you got with the people of New Asgard, the closer you got to Brunnhilde
- Before finding Asgard again, Brunnhilde did everything for herself, and now she had an entire kingdom to look after, and it was daunting, but with you by her side, she felt like she could do anything
- The two of you have a thing for sharing clothes
- Your favorite things of hers to take are her hoodies or shirts. She sometimes goes away on diplomatic missions, and she’s gotten used to leaving you in charge when she does
- You can’t sleep without her there these days, so having half her wardrobe on the bed with you helps a lot
- Brunnhilde likes stealing jewelry or any accessories you have, subtle things that most won’t notice, but she knows, and that’s really all that matters to her
- And yo, sex with Brunnhilde? You’re in for a fucking ride, my friend
- Brunnhilde is a very generous lover, and always puts your needs above hers first and foremost
- She’s also willing to try just about anything, as long as you are 100% okay with it. You say stop, and she stops - she will never force anything on you
- She’s a huge fan of lazy morning sex, too. Those early mornings when she doesn’t have to be anywhere yet and the sun’s barely up - she loves watching you as the sun starts filtering through the windows
- You learn how to braid and before you got somewhat good at it, Brunnhilde would always let you practice on her
- When you got really good at braiding, you know that girl is going around everywhere flaunting her badass hair, and if anyone asks, “my babe did it”
- You wanted to learn for her, but you also wanted to learn for the kids as well - they were always asking if you could help them with their hair and you had no idea
- When Brunnhilde learned you had a hidden reason behind it, you know she was all over you that night
- “I know you’re just naturally nice and everything, but it is such a turn on, and you are beginning to make it impossible to function”
- “Now you know how I feel, Val”
- Listen, Brunnhilde fucking loves you. If anyone even dares to look at you sideways, that woman is pulling her sword out at ‘em
- She’d die for your ass, and you know she would, because you’d die for her
- It was a deadly combination, seeing as how she was Queen and all, but that was your relationship and your dynamic - doesn’t matter what the consequences could be
- But the two of you would also die for Asgard, and you both knew Asgard would always come first, because it wasn’t just about the two of you - it was about the fate of an entire race, of an entire kingdom
- That was probably the best thing about your relationship, though
- The two of you could talk about these serious matters without breaking down
- You could talk about what would happen if one of you did happen to die, about what would happen if New Asgard happened to be attacked - you had game plans for everything
- It was sometimes hard to think about, but Brunnhilde was grateful that she could have these types of conversations with you, because it not only helped to prepare everyone, but it meant that you saw a future with her
- And she came to the startlingly realization that she saw a future with you, too
- She was in deep, and so were you, but there was nothing the two of you would trade for the entire damn universe
