The glowing crystal grew brighter and fell from his hand landing on the soft floor with a dull thud. His arms tightened around her pulling her closer. Her body tensed as he pulled away he looked closer at her face and watched as the happy smile that lingered upon her lips turned into a sharp smirk. Before he knew it her hand had come in contact with his face.

The whole left side of his face was burning, and her bright green eyes scorched when he looked back at her. Her anger and stubbornness were her trade marks, he expected it. "Well, you told me to prove it, and you seemed to..." Her hand swatted him across the other side of his face. His hands clenched at his sides trying to hold back from hitting her. "Stupid prick, I wish you would leave me alone. You even bother me in death." She was surprised when he burst out laughing. "What is so funny?"

He looked up at her his blue eyes shimmering brightly, "Your not dead."

"What?"

"I said your not dead. Please don't make me repeat myself." He turned around to calm himself a bit.

"I'm... I'm... Not dead." There was a dull thud and Jareth turned around. She had fainted. He ran over and sat next to her. Her breathing was normal, as was her pulse. He laid her across her lap. The light crystal rolled towards him revealing her features. He was absolutely infatuated with her.

He picked up the crystal and felt a chill travel down his spine at the image that played behind his eyes.

He saw that morning passing but she didn't get hit. Because of him. In the vision he pulled her from in front of the car. "Oh, my Sarah, your dream. It's all my fault. I'm... Sorry love." He felt the tears pour down his face staining the front of her dress.

She squirmed in his arms and he looked down at her as she opened her eyes and fixed him with a hateful glare. She saw the tears on his face and her stubborn anger died inside of her. Without logic thought she reached up and caressed the side of his face, and he closed his eyes. A sudden wave of guilt washed over her.

He opened his eyes which were once again shining with tears, "I'm sorry."

"What for this time?" A small grin graced her face, he just rolled his eyes annoyed by her comment.

"I wasn't fast enough... If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have been hit." She rolled her eyes and stood up staring out into the vacant darkness. He stood and put his hand on her shoulder.

"I can't believe you came back... I... Missed you." The last part of what she said came as a mere whisper barely heard in the great darkness, but he heard her. "What did you say?" He asked more out of shock than as he didn't hear her. She spun around quickly to face him.

"I said I missed you! I missed you! I missed you." She screamed in defeat. When she looked into his eyes she saw pure happiness and, love. No, he couldn't love her. He couldn't possibly love her. She never showed any affection towards him so why would he care for her. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace and placed his chin on her shoulder. She could feel his face pressing in her hair as he muttered the words he had years ago. The word she believed were to throw her off in her journey through the labyrinth.

"How you turn the world

You precious thing.

You starve and near exhaust me.

Everything I've done,

I've done for you.

I move the stars for no one.

You've run so long.

You've run so far.

Your eyes can be so cruel,

Just as I can be so cruel,

Oh, I do believe in you.

Yes. I. Do.

I really meant that. I also meant it when I said this.

Fear me. Love me. Do as I say, and I'd be your slave. And I'd do anything for you to grant your dreams. Can't you see that. I love you! I love you, and every since you left the labyrinth. Even though I wanted be near you, to talk to you, but I couldn't. Not until you spoke my name. I love you." She pulled away from him and looked in his eyes. Trying to find if he was lying or joking, but she could only see deep affection and love in his deep mismatched blue eyes.

"You... You do?"

"Yes. I do. It's because of you..." He stopped and lowered his eyes as if ashamed of himself. "Because of me, what?"

"Because I couldn't pull my head out of the clouds, and quit thinking of you, my kingdom fell to ruins." His eyes flashed with anger and it frightened her, but she could see it wasn't meant for her. He fell to his knees and whispered to himself more than her, "I'm a bloody fool falling in love with a woman who will never love me." He put his head in his hands and began to cry the stress, the sorrow, from the past years attacking him burying him.

She knelt in front of him and pulled his hands away from his face. He looked so vulnerable, so young, the tears staining his cheeks, proof he had emotions. Proof he has a heart. He looks stunning when he's playing the role of Goblin King, but now. Now, when he's being himself, Jareth, he is absolutely beautiful. He looked up at her tears welling in his eyes and her heart broke. No, broke is not a good enough word, shattered is more like it.

It was then she realized she loved this man in front of her, be he demon or angel she loved him with her whole heart and soul, and she could no longer deny it. She brushed the stray hairs from his face and wiped the tears from his cheeks and around his eyes. He looked like a man with no hope of living. She felt the tears begin to stream down her face as she held his head in her hands.

"Jareth... I... I... I love you too."
