I believe it goes without saying that i dont own anything
No One Can Blame You
Sarah spun around, but the door was gone.
"I really am sick," she said aloud, "I-I'm hallucinating." She put a hand against the wall to steady herself, taking deep, calming breathes that didn't help. "I hope I didn't fall in the street." She continued, closing her eyes. "Please tell me I didn't pass out in the street! And this is some funky dream..." A snicker behind her told her she wasn't alone.
Still to scared to open her eyes, she stood still, listening, trying to determine how close this person was. The hand on her cheek gave it away. To close for comfort. She shivered and opened her eyes, which were greeted by a pair of beautiful mismatched ones.
"J-Jareth?!" she squeaked as he lowered his hand.
"Surely you didn't think I'd pass up an offer for a child?" he smirked. "Especially when its you calling." She looked at him, confusion clear on her face. He turned and took a few steps away from her.
"I wouldn't dream of letting you down," he said looking over his shoulder. Sarah was surprised by the anger in his voice.
"What's wrong? Why are you angry with me? I haven't done anything, or even seen you for years." He looked at her for a moment.
"Why?" he sneered. "You bested my Labyrinth, destroyed my kingdom, and left me with little more than nothing of a memory of you." He wasn't sure he meant to say the last part, though he knew it didn't mean much to her, but was glad he hadn't said the real reason. Because you never called me. Replaced me. Her brow furrowed.
"You mean, you missed me?" she asked. His face, though well schooled into a mask, had a slight hint of paleness. Sarah hardly noticed.
"I didn't say that. I meant you came in here, ruined everything, then just left without a care in the world, forgetting what you'd done."
"I never forgot you!" she shouted. "I mean, I never forgot the Labyrinth." His eyebrows had shot up at her heated response.
"Oh really?" he hissed. "You never forgot the Labyrinth? Or me?" He smiled as her cheeks went hot.
"Yes really. I never forgot how this world was turned upside down, and how it was my fault. I didn't forget Ludo, or Hoggle or Sir Didymus, or anything else about this place, and I sure as hell didn't forget you!" He looked a little shocked, but he hid his emotions extremely well. Or...tried for a while, anyway...
"I missed you..." she said softly, eyes staring down at the floor. He was silent, and she thought he hadn't heard her.
"And that's exactly why you went with off with that ridiculous Bowie character." Her head shot up.
"You've been watching me?" Jareth kicked himself for letting his anger make him slip. He folded his arms across his chest.
"Yes." He said with as much arrogance he could. "And I don't appreciate being replaced." His tone changed, pain clear in his voice. So much for being arrogant. "Do you hate me so much, that you have to play out my defeat over and over again?"
"W-what? No, Jareth, it wasn't like that! I wasn't replacing you like that!" She didn't mean that she replaced him at all.
"But you still were. You let someone else take you through my Labyrinth, my kingdom, my story and my dance!" Again, he hadn't meant to say the last part.
He seems so upset, she thought, at the thought of me forgetting him. Of me and David. Me and David....she gasped. Had he been worried she loved a replacement of him? That was it, she thought. She cringed at how it must have felt. To see someone you care for, in the arms of what you thought was supposed to be you. But I made the movie...so I wouldn't forget him. In memory of him.
But still, he shouldn't have gotten so mad at me
"Now wait a minute, Goblin King. What gives you the right to just walk in here after years of ignoring me? You do nothing to stop me from seeing anyone, no 'don't let anyone touch you's' and as soon as I take an interest you suddenly decide you care?! Why didn't you care last year, or the year before? You know, maybe I was wrong to pick you. Maybe David is the better choice. At least he takes time out of his life to talk to me every now and then. Even running a kingdom, you must have a few extra minutes every month or so! Come back in a year and see what we're up to!" Her voice had gotten high, and tears were very likely.
She looked up at him, his eyes had softened a little, but the blaze of anger still visible. He decided to leave, he wasn't getting anywhere with her. He strode over to where the door had been. The edges of the Escher Room began to dissolve, it wouldn't help his cause if he left her in there. No matter how amusing it would be to keep her stuck in here for a while.
"No one can blame you," she started, "for walking away." His eyes widened, and she took a step closer to him. "I'm so sorry," and she continued over to him, the room becoming solid once again. "I, I didn't mean it, really I didn't." She reached him and her tears were coming a little stronger now. "I didn't know you were watching. I didn't know you'd think I'd replaced you, and," she brushed a tangle away from his eyes, "I didn't know you cared." His hand griped hers, and he gave a weak smile. His arm was around her waist in a second and he yanked her closer to him.
"Just don't do it again," and he kissed her.
