Absolute Beginners

by Jetredgirl

A ficlet, perhaps a series of them at some point, in which I explore little moments between J&S while they are navigating being a couple. No set timeline. Established relationship ups and downs. Dialogue heavy, any and all genres possible. Cover image by Melycat, a favorite of mine.

"I'm sorry love. I fucked up."

Sarah looked up at him, sadness in her eyes. "How could you...?"

"I don't know. I told you, I'm selfish, and not very good at this. I'm trying."

She sniffed and blinked back her tears. "Yeah, me either. I've never been. I guess we really don't know what the hell we are doing."

He smiled sadly. "What are we to do then?"

"Jareth, I just...I don't know."

"I really am sorry, precious. I would never hurt you on purpose, you know that."

"I know." She reached out and curled her fingers around his. "We're certainly two of a kind."

"I absolutely love you. No matter what may come."

"That's why I let you in. Because I know you do. If I didn't I would have kicked you down the stairs."

His hand gripped hers and he laughed. "You still may."

Sarah tugged him to her. "It's likely. I absolutely love you too."

"So we're okay?" He kissed her gently.

She pulled away. "Yes, for now. You big glittery jerk."

"Hey, I don't use *that* much glitter." He answered.

She smacked his shoulder, and a small sparkly cloud billowed out from his jacket.

"Really?"

Jareth gave her a sheepish grin. "I guess I could tone it down."

Sarah moved away, towards the bedroom, pulling him along. "Let's worry about that later. Come with me, you owe me."

He followed gladly.

Fin.

Nope, don't know what he did, but it's not about that.

A ficlet inspired by listening to Bowie today.

Absolute beginners, indeed.

I may get wild ideas about more of those those little moments when two dysfunctional people from different worlds get together, and write them here. Or not. You never know.

As always I'm eternally grateful for all who read and enjoy my stuff.
