Word count:1099
Warning: A little angst, then fluff.

You hadn't meant to miss it, no you shouldn't have. Only months had went by since you had escaped the Goblin Kings grasp, along with who you had wished away , mistakenly.

It wasn't that you didn't feel anything for Jareth, it was just you had a family and life. You couldn't just leave them. Plus, how could you watch Ewan Mcgregor in Moulin rouge, or Lord of the rings or Star Wars. Oh no , how would you play Lego games on the Wii?

Sure if Jareth lived on earth or you could visit, but he made no effort to tell you anything, other than you can live with me forever and he'd be your slave. When it felt like you'd be the only that was slave. You did not want to be trapped in a place you didn't know.

Jareth did not want you to go, the sparkle in his mismatched eyes, almost like they they were watering. You had defeated him fair and square. You felt guilty, yes he had the goblins but he didn't have anyone else. Especially when the goblins aren't exactly the best to talk to.

Once you had returned home everything was great for a while; after that life started to get more difficult and cruel. You had began talking walks often, even if it was once week walking the dog. An Owl, much like the one Jareth had turned into, you'd see every single time. The same beige and cream owl.

After a couple of weeks you'd see him in other places, in your garden from your room, on your way to college/work, in the rain everywhere except indoor. In honesty you liked it, you felt safe, like someone was watching you and keeping you safe. You just didn't know that was exactly what he was doing.

You had not seen Jareth in months, after a particularly rough day, coming home an empty, you found yourself calling for him. Sitting upon the stone out the back door, the chill of the air pricking your skin, Your head in your hands.

"I wish you were here, Jareth, right now." Nothing, no glitter, it didn't work. You weren't going to wish someone away again, you couldn't wish yourself , right?

The warm of hand gently placed against your shoulder snapped you from your thoughts, looking toward the body sat next to you. Jareth. His hair was not the same mullet as you had last since him with, now replaced with shoulder length reddish orange hair, no poof, a chunk of blond in his fringe. His pupils still mismatched surrounded with blue, his outfit the same glittery coat, tight pants.

Your eyes locking on to his, his face frowning sadly at your form, as your threw yourself into his arms. His arms wrapped around your shoulders protecting you from the cold air, your face pushed against his chest.

"I missed you."

"I know."

What felt like minutes being in Jareth's hold was really hours. Engulfed in his smell, he smelt like you weren't sure, if you was to meet David Bowie that's what he would smell like.

His eyes upon your face, his hand upon your hand, his lips caress your skin. The soft touch of Jareth's lips against your forehead, as he stroked your hair, running his fingers through it.

'It's more than I can stand
Why does my heart cry?Feelings I can't fight."
The thoughts running your head like a river, the man that had plagued your mind for months appeared by your side within seconds,you were pretty sure he lived quite far away. But those around you , did not. How were you supposed to feel.

"You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me. Please, believe me when I say I love you."  For a king Jareth was not good with surprises, his heart had stopped, did he hear you right? Faes don't age maybe something was wrong with him and only his eardrums aged.

"P-pardon? Y-you love m-me?" Stuttering on pretty much all his words , as he whispered in disbelief looking into your tired eyes for some sign of a answer. That nod of your head made his heart pound like a wash machine, his mouth gapped open.

Not once had anyone from his Labyrinth taken any interest in him.Not for a long , long ,  time had he felt loving affection from someone.  Cupping your cheek with his left hand, his thumb , gently travelling over your cheek softly. His bright eyes staring into your e/c ones,  thighs touching, as both your upper bodies were turned to face each other clearly.

"I love you too, even if you do not want to stay with me, I will forever be with you, Y/n."  The soft tone of his voice caused your heart to swell, a blush upon your cheeks. The goblin king was no monster, his words were gently kind, he never wanted who you sent away. It was never about them, it was about you.  13 hours not for you to get to the castle for him to win over your heart.

"But I do want to,Jareth."

"May I kiss you?"

"Yes." His lips were upon yours, a small peck of his soft lips , before your eyes opened again to look within his. Standing he offered you his hand, the moon like lighting up the features of his face. This frame outlined onto his shadow on the ground behind him.

"Come with me, I offer you my heart, I promise to bring you back if you no longer feel for me."  Taking the soft hand of the Goblin king he pulled you up carefully, into his chest before wrapping you within his cloak.

A small note to your love ones, that you had simply moved away for a new job, so there wasn't a missing persons case on you.

In a place which you had no worries or stress, you lived, with the freedom to come home if you wanted. A Crystal gifted to you enabling you to see your family, you were happy. You just didn't know how happy Jareth felt, he no longer kidnapped children only those that were in need of a new home, still being turned into Goblins.

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen.
