Not a Queen (Jareth x M! Reader)

Chapter 13

A/n: My only understanding of dates and romance comes from TV, so forgive me if I screw anything up lol. Never been on a date.

Your fingers nervously drummed on your knees as you looked towards the clock. 

A knock came at the door and you quickly got up and opened it, trying to hurriedly shoo away the person in case they saw a random glitter man appear. 

That would raise a lot of unexplainable questions. 

Jareth was at the door. You open your mouth confused and he smiles widely.

"What are you doing?" You ask. 

"Well I suppose you'd rather be picked up from the door." He says, offering his arm up.

You linked yours in his and he whirled you out of the room, and as you two twirled the scene changed. 

"Have you practiced this before?" You asked. 

"Yes on all the other men I've been with." Jareth said rolling his eyes. "So none?" You said giving him a look. He slides his arm to your waist and guides you down the castle hall. 

On an open window seat, there lay a bunch of food, (wine/alcohol), and desserts. 

"From the finest chefs from your world. Wally Mart if I am saying it correctly." Jareth said. You chuckled and nodded your head. "Yes that's right." You said trying not to give away the gag.

You both sit on the edge your feet dangling. 

Would he save you if you fell?

Oh stop thinking like that! You're ruining your own date.

"What would you try first?" Jareth asked. You picked (something similar to your favorite food). He scoops it up with the proper utensil and starts to point it at you. You sighed "Are you going to do that cliche thing where you feed me or something?"

He looks up from making sure it's balanced, up to you. "Yes now open up." 

You raised an eyebrow. 

"Open. Up." He repeated. 

As much as this whole gesture was nice, you didn't expect you would have to lose your dignity like this. But then again, you were kinda into it. You opened your mouth and ate the food off of it.

You practically moaned in delight.

You never thought that was a real thing, but holy (cow/shit) it was. And you even made yourself cringe.

Jareth smirks but keeps his comment to himself. After you fill up your plate with delicacies, you look at him. "What?" 

"Oh nothing, just enjoying all the little sounds you make." He said nonchalantly as if those words weren't rocking your entire world. No one has just said that to you and taken it lightly.

"Oh...uh...thank you." What do you even say after something like that?

"Y/n? I have something to tell you." Jareth said. 

"Yeah?" 

"I was absolutely terrible to you almost the whole time I had known you. And there is no excuse for it. I'm repeating this because I want to continue to do this with you. Be around you and see how the world turns upside down because you're in it. You fascinate me and I hope in time I'll be able to become worthy of you. I'll grow to the man you need me to be. Become entirely yours at the moment you say so.
