Jareth (The Goblin King) x reader

The Garden

Warnings: PURE FLUFFFFFFFFFFFF

I hummed as I walked through the halls of the castle. It was unusually quiet in these halls, although i don't mind. There was often chaos outside the castle and in the throne room thanks to the unruly goblins trying to impress my husband with stupid pranks and tricks.

I moved towards a door that led to a garden and my eyes squinted in the new light. I stood in the doorway, taking in the scenery.

I smiled. This was one of my favorite places here in the goblin city. Jareth made it for me when I first came here. I made a hard choice to leave my old life behind for this.

But, really I didn't have much of a choice.

It was only 3 years ago that I ran the Labyrinth to try to win my younger brother, Matthew, back. I had failed at the last minute. But Jareth gave me a choice- to either go back to my old life and he keeps Matthew or to stay with him and send Matthew back safe and sound.

I suppose that I did the righteous thing. I reasoned that Matthew has more of a future than I so I sent him back and hoped that one day I would find a way to escape back to the normal world.

I did everything to do the opposite of what Jareth wanted. I stayed in my room except to shower and use the bathroom. I destroyed the curtains and blankets. I ate very little and refused to talk to Jareth until one day I fell ill.

I never felt worse. My entire body ached, chills, nausea, and I could barely stay awake. Despite the way i treated him, Jareth stayed with me everyday. I would catch glimpses of him as I went in and out of sleep, covering me in blankets and washing my face.

After a week, I was feeling better. I woke up one day and had enough energy to get out of bed. I drew myself a bed and got dressed.

I wandered around the castle until a goblin spotted me and led me to the throne room of chaos that I have somehow come to love.

As the goblin opened the door, I spotted Jareth sitting on his throne and he perked up as soon as he spotted me.

The goblins started to hush down, eagerly staring at us. He took my hand and said that he had something for me. He then led me to the garden that I love to much today.

it is always in bloom and the plants always bear ripe fruit with a stone patio with a small table and two chairs in the middle.

I sat down in one of the chairs and smiled and closed my eyes.

"Hello darling." a voice that I knew so well, spoke.

i gasped in surprise and opened my eyes. I started to laugh when I saw Jareth in the other chair. "Oh my goodness Jareth. You scared me."

He smiled and walked over to me as I stood up. he grabbed my hips and i wrapped my arms around his neck and I lightly kissed him. I pulled away and Jareth rested his head on my shoulder.

"Good morning to you too." I joked.

i could feel Jareth smiling into my shoulder. he pulled away, keeping one hand on my waist and one hand dramatically extending his hand towards the castle. "Would you like breakfast my queen?"

"Of course my king."
