Sweet Possibilities

Author's Disclaimer: I don't own Labyrinth. These drabbles were lots of fun to do. The first one satisfies my love of teacher/student AU's, with a reference to Phantom and Frank Sinatra thrown in for good measure. The second one is pure fluff. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 21: 250 Word Drabbles- Sexy Specs

Drabble 1: Behind Blue Eyes and Glasses

During senior year of college, the new professor's blue eyes found Sarah's at once. Soon after, he was teaching her thesis topic. Whenever their eyes met, his small, thin spectacles would reflect the light. She learned to accept the glare, focusing on his magnetic eyes. Within a year, she could recall from memory exactly how his eyes appeared since he always encouraged her to draw closer to him.

The only time he stopped her closeness was when she almost touched his glasses. She yearned to take the glasses off, to see his eyes without the shield, just as Christine had wanted with her Phantom.

In her dreams, she saw his eyes with fae markings. She ignored those dreams, as they reminded her of an old foe she still didn't understand.

One day, they were debating the fae use of glamors. His eyes sparkled as he asked her to approach. It was always that sly, come hither stare that made Sarah want to remove his glasses.

While she read over his shoulder, he turned and asked, "Do you wish to yield?"

Defiantly, she grabbed his glasses, and as she removed them, his appearance changed. The fae markings of her dreams appeared, bringing a change in clothing and hairstyle. She knew these eyes, and yet didn't. Jareth.

"Hello, Sarah. What do you think of this glamor?" he asked, standing up.

"I think it doesn't hide your eyes well enough. They still sparkle and entice," said Sarah, unafraid.

"Perhaps that's what I wanted."

Drabble 2: Hide and Kiss

Sarah had just found the best hide-and-seek spot when Jareth opened her closet doors and joined her.

Peeking through the crack in the double doors, Sarah whispered, "Jareth, why are you here?"

"Hiding, clearly. My castle, my spot," he said smugly.

"First dibs is clearly more important, as we've established in previous games with Toby," returned Sarah. "Therefore, your point is invalid. Get lost."

After a year-long flirtation with Jareth, Sarah was willing to be cheeky in these situations; it was the only way to deal with Jareth as she and Toby met with her friends.

"Are you sure?" whispered Jareth as he leaned in.

"Don't think getting close will make me leave," retorted Sarah.

Jareth heard Sir Didymus with his keen hearing approach. To keep Sarah quiet, Jareth kissed her.

Sarah heard footsteps, but she quickly forgot in favor of enjoying the long-denied taste of lips and feel of his soft neck.

Once Sir Didymus disappeared, Jareth stopped.

Sarah felt like pouting but said instead, "You're lucky Sir Didymus doesn't need glasses like me. We would've been doomed."

"I didn't know you needed glasses," said Jareth, his mind imagining many possibilities. "You'd look quite sexy in them."

Sarah huffed in annoyance.

"Sure. Just don't repeat that action in front of my step-mother. You'll be visiting me forevermore."

"Why?" asked Jareth, hoping to understand Sarah's feelings for him.

"She's been trying for years to set me up; me enjoying your kisses would be the best Mother's Day present ever."

"Done."

Author's Notes: If I did not have a bunch of stories going on right now, it would be fun to consider making the first drabble its own story. But in the meantime, it stands alone well as I wanted. I just love this prompt a lot, so I had to do something for it. The second one also incorporates the drabble prompt from the previous month, Cornered. I was unable to participate in that prompt for reasons explained below. I also threw in a quick shout out to mothers and Mother's Day since it's coming soon, and there's a weekly prompt challenge on deviantart that had one going for mothers.

Notes 2: I know I've been negligent with my Labyrinth stories in the last year, but at least in the last couple months, I've been silent in general. The reason for that was a combination of two things: an increasing workload, and a death in the family. My father died recently, and I've had to take on a lot more responsibility since then. If I disappear some more, you know why.

If you're still reading, thank you! Thanks for all your understanding and support in the past, and for reading!

Ritatudisco: Yes, that story is good at faking people out. I'm glad you're satisfied with it being just a dream. Sarah and Jareth should always be together in the end. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
