dont know if I'm allowed to submit dead people but this is pre-death Valerie okay
what if i wrote post-death valerie /j
an alternate universe wherein valerie, a popstar with hundreds of fans and haters, hires agents to protect her. gold and valerie are in their 20s.
if you asked valerie what her type would be, she would've said she liked traditional japanese men who were soft spoken and quiet, with black hair and dark eyes. tall, dark and handsome, as they say.
but that's before she met her body guard, almost entirely opposite to her type. a gorgeous shorter brunette woman with light eyes who enjoys bantering with her.
if you asked valerie why she fell for a girl like that, she'd swear up and down that you'd fall in love with her too. and she's right. especially when you watch that woman manhandle people twice her size, or when she pulls you out of the way of a bullet, or when—
point is, valerie is in love with her. the problem? its incredibly embarrassing to admit she's into her because valerie told gold she was straight. STRAIGHT. VALERIE ISN'T EVEN STRAIGHT, SHE'S BISEXUAL.
and worst of all, gold has only shown interest in men...
valerie overheard funneh (one of her other bodyguards when gold is off duty) talking to someone else on the phone about Gold's crush on valerie
while it is kind of shitty to find out about it through someone outing gold accidentally, valerie isn't too worried about it and decides to hint to gold that she likes girls.
unfortunately, the hints are hitting but only the part where valerie is talking about being bisexual, not the part where valerie is into her specifically.
valerie tries to deploy a better tactic: kissing her on the cheek! surely that will— will-... no, no nevermind. gold just thinks it's platonic.
headcanons, canons, and things of the like.
gold is absolutely oblivious during the first half of valerie hitting on her. like actually deeply in denial of it because gold thinks valerie is straight. it isn't until draco finally points out that valerie has been making heart eyes at gold and becoming increasingly distraught every time gold ignores her advances that gold realizes.
their dates are largely just them snuggling into bed and talking about things that have happened in their lives, Gold's missions, Valerie's meet and greets, etc.
gold loves working as an agent and valerie will occasionally worry over Gold's safety and health whenever she's assigned a dangerous mission. valerie tried asking gold to quit, but it just ended in an argument and valerie cried for an entire week.
gold loves doing Valerie's makeup, of course, valerie can't go out with the makeup since her makeup artist would kill her for cheating on her, but still. its a nice activity they do when they dont have anything else.
valerie and funneh became fast friends and often play silly pranks on gold, like switching the sugar and the salt, moving things ever so slightly to the left, and occasionally trying to give gold a heart attack by pretending valerie dyed her hair (funneh is surprisingly good at making the seam of the wig disappear.)
valerie likes the couch more than her bed and will occasionally sleep on it for a night. willingly. it is very scary seeing gold and valerie's personal doctor standing over her in the morning though.
valerie is a silver jewelry person, which irritates gold a little because they can't wear each others jewelry.
gold has her entire arm tattooed in gorgeous heart shaped patterns. sometimes valerie gets to color it in with sharpies. sometimes gold forgets to wipe off the sharpies and funneh will laugh at her for a minute straight for her entire arm being yellow and pink before getting throttled.
sorry this took so long ive been having a stomach bug and its been rough. also i generally don't write gold x valerie content, idk why i don't do that more often. its an ok ship.
