A/N:
Don't get used to updates everyday...with sickness comes extra free time xP And a lot of it! But I am A-OK. So much time and yet here I am at 1 am trying to write this xD
Also, how would you feel about me writing something on Jane? On a different story, of course. I hate her for (well, she didn't really but she would've helped) killing Jasper in BDP2, but like her whereas a lot of others don't. On to the story...!
L is for light
Alice loves the open, brightness of her home. She loves the way her skin sparkles in the light, how her crystallized marble surface shimmers as she spins and twirls, dancing around her living room with her family. She's constantly running round at vampire speed indoors, saying, "Don't be so human," when Jasper walks at a slightly slower pace, even though he could easily overtake her with two footsteps.
He just rolls his eyes and says back: "Darlin', we've got forever. A couple of milliseconds won't matter a bit." And she'd frown and list reasons why wasting time is never good, and they'd be later than they were to begin with, thought he doesn't dare point this out, otherwise she'd be in a rotten mood all day, and that just makes him unhappy to see her like that, his sweet little Alice.
Jasper, on the other hand, loves the night. He doesn't know why, because he can see just as well, so it's not like the bleakness of the world fades away when the night comes. He loves how he can stalk about, no-one seeing him, apart from his vampire counterparts of course. He's no different - physically - from anyone else in the world. Somehow, in the night, the burning in his throat ceases somewhat. Maybe it's the lack of humans out that late, or maybe it's because he gets to gather his thoughts and emotions of his own, just thinking about himself, knowing Alice is at home with Esme and the family to protect her. He knows she doesn't need protecting but the thought puts his mind at rest a little.
When Jasper thinks about his relationship with Alice, he thinks of the Yin Yang symbol. How the light of Alice influences his decisions, but how he still keeps true to himself, and likewise, that he influences Alice's calm, collected side, and yet there's still so much spark left of her, which indeed he feels with her love. They just fit together like a puzzle, two pieces perhaps taking awhile to find each other and complete the picture, but not complete without one another. He got her a Yin Yang necklace once and he explained his theories. She smiled at him and said she agreed with every single part, and let him fasten it round her neck proudly.
Like at the moment, she is humming the song "You're The One That I Want" from Grease, and he finds himself joining in with her, much to her delight. She sighs contentedly.
"I do love when you sing, Jazz."
"Well, my voice is nothing compared to yours," he murmurs, turning the page of his book, "but thank you, my Sandy." She giggles.
"You're welcome, my Danny." Alice grinned, her eyes lighting up. "I didn't take you as a Grease fan, though."
To see that look in her eye, he would sing all day. "Hmm!" He wants to do that again, so he starts humming the tune to the nursery rhyme that Nessie loves. She starts the first line, instantly recognizing the song.
"A, you're adorable," she softly sings to him.
"B, you're so beautiful!" Jasper laughs, looking up at his Alice.
"C, you're a cutie full of charm." She playfully ruffles his hair while singing it, giggling her soprano laugh like wind chimes.
"D, you're a darlin!" He taps her nose singing it, and she sticks her tongue out.
"And E, you're exciting!" She basically looks like Tinkerbell on some sort of drug, running round that room.
"F, you're a feather in my arms," Jasper sighs, actually picking her up while trying to catch her.
"G, you're so good to me!" She laughs, because if not for him, she'd be lying on the floor with very sore ribs.
"H, you're so heavenly."
"I do smell good, I, you're the one I idolize," she added, spraying more perfume on herself. It gets in his eyes so he crosses them, making her splutter with laughter.
"J, we're like Jack and Jill!" He lets her down on the bed and sits beside her.
"K, you're so kissable!" he plants a kiss on her nose while she sings it, and she giggles, her minty breath in his face.
"L, is the love light in my eyes."
"M - N - O - P I could go on all day," she breathes, taking in his beauty.
"Q - R - S - T alphabetically speaking, you're OK!" She raises her eyebrows at that, grinning still though.
"U, made my life complete." She really means that, and he knows it.
"V means you're very sweet," another laugh passes his lips.
"W - X - Y - Z..." he says softly, humming at the same time.
"It's fun to wander through the alphabet with you..." Alice drags out, taking a dramatic unneeded breath at the end, and closing her golden eyes.
"To tell you what you mean to me!" Jasper finishes with a kiss on his wife's forehead. She really is the light of his life. He'd give up everything just to be with her, for one minute, and so would she, because they love each other so much. They couldn't live without each other. Forever is a long time, but it goes by in the blink of an eye if you spend it with the ones you love.
