"I found our songs!" Jack says one day after he nearly breaks through Jamie's bedroom window. He wrestles it open as best he can with one hand while he fumbles with staff and a cotton knapsack in the other.
Jamie wakes up with a shriek and tumbles off his bed in a mess of blankets and scattered history notes. He realizes it's just Jack being an idiot as always. He flops on his back, wrapped up in his malformed cocoon of warmth.
Jack finally tosses his staff through. It bounces off Jamie's bed and lands on Jamie's blanketed body. The hook conks his head with a loud sound. "Ow," Jamie deadpans and then tosses his head side to side until the staff slides off.
"Sorry. But I found our songs! I found it! Where's your radio?"
Jack tries to slide Jamie's window down but its frame isn't slick enough. It makes terrible screechy noises and Jack gives up when it's halfway down.
A flurry of translucent snowflakes follows Jack as he scrambles around Jamie's room. He drops the sack on Jamie's desk and runs hands through his hair excitedly. He whirls around, so excited that his eyes are watery. "You'd think Bunny's a dick but he found it for us!"
"Our song?"
"Songs. He compiled a soundtrack for us! It's called The Soundtrack to Jack and Jamie's Romantic Relationship. It's awesome. It even has naughty songs." Jack starts rummaging through Jamie's closet.
Jamie crawls out of his cocoon and fixes his bed. Jack starts humming to Taylor Swift's "Our Song".
"I don't know about the songs on that soundtrack, but I swear, if Taylor Swift is on there, I'm going to kick you."
Jack spins on his heels, knocking a tower of shoe boxes over with his hand. He acts like he doesn't notice the spill of shoes. "No way! I promise, it's only real love songs."
"Love songs as in…?"
"You'll see!" Jack pulls out the radio and hurries to plug it in. He fishes out the CD from the knapsack.
The first song that plays is Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". Jamie laughs and throws a pillow at Jack who dodges it. It hits the framed picture of Jamie's father. Jack stumbles to catch it and his heel kicks the radio. It skips to the next song "Just the Way You Are".
"I found the gay version," Jack says.
Jamie likes it better than the original. "Bunny did this?" Jamie laughs.
"I helped him with his eggs." Jack winks.
"Please tell me you didn't paint a Communist symbol on them…"
"That was one time! And we were drunk." Jack sticks his tongue out and kicks the radio. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" starts to play.
Jamie hides behind his hands, his cheeks heating up his palms.
"Memories?" Jack laughs.
"Please don't." Jamie giggles, remembering that afternoon too clearly. Jack kicks the radio, says he's going to buy Jamie a new one with the brownie points North gave him (Jamie laughs at that), and "Birthday Sex" starts.
"Wait. I don't remember this song on the list," Jack says.
Jamie flings another pillow at the radio.
"A Thousand Years" starts and Jamie's face cools down to a soft warmth in just his cheeks. His eyes start misting. "This song…" he murmurs.
"…is your favorite," Jack says. A gust of wind gently pushes Jamie to Jack's awaiting embrace. He kisses Jamie's forehead and wipes away the thin trail of tears from Jamie's eye. "I'm always going to be here for you. Always."
"But you're immort-"
"I don't want to hear it. I'm here. You're here. That's what matters. 'Kay?" Jack wipes away more of Jamie's tears. "I'll love you forever and ever. And when you're gone I'll still love you. Always. And North said -" Jack stops and kisses Jamie.
"Said what?"
"I'll tell you later. Hey, wanna put that "Birthday Sex" song on now?"
"How about we make music of our own?"
A/N: (coughs) Git sum!
I got a song fic prompt for "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri but I don't know how to write song fics, so I just did this.
