Ch 6
The First Valentine Evening and A Shopping Trip Fiasco

I woke up alone, the room was freezing cold. All I was wearing was one of Jareth's poet shirts that came to my knees and was gaping in the chest area. The moonlight flittered in from the open curtains, creating a ghostly glow.

"Jareth?" I called out as I grabbed the candle from my bedside table and pulled Jareth's robe on, Luckily that was longer, it came to about the middle of my calves.

When I got no answer I wandered around trying to find him, but I couldn't find anybody. I wandered into the throne room and saw Jareth. He was facing away from me and as he started to turn to look at me a golden sword swung towards him and with a sickening thwack, it beheaded him. I screamed as he head rolled towards me and his body crumpled to the floor. I looked up and Marlys was smirking

"If I can't have him nobody can…" She said before she swung the sword at my neck.

"NO!" I screamed as I shot up in my bed.

It was just a dream.

I started to take deep breaths before I lost is a started to sob, Jareth woke up immediately. He tried to sooth me, whispering sweet things in my ear but I kept crying.

"It was so real…just so real…," I sobbed as I snuggled into his cheats. "Jareth please don't leave me, please don't…"

"I'm not going to leave you, I wont I promise." He kept repeating till I calmed down.

"I'm sorry I had a bad dream…" I said, my nose runny, my head throbbing, and I was blushing, he was shirtless and I was wearing one of his poet shirts, the shoulder of the shirt falling off my shoulder.

"Don't apologize…"

"Jareth…I want to tell you…remember the question you asked last night?" I said quietly, rubbing my arm cowardly

"Yes."

"Well, The way you make me feel…Um… how do I put this…God Jareth…I love you…I loved you even before I really knew you but now…god your funny, your sarcastic, your gorgeous…but you understand me…you get what I'm talking about, more than my family ever did…" I blurted out before he put a finger on my lips.

"I love you too, I haven't told you but I've watched you since you first fell in love with the movie labyrinth…and I want to do this marriage properly," I said as he stood up and walked over to my side of the bed. "Lady Casey King, Will you make me your personal Goblin King and marry me?" he said with a smirk and before I could give him an answer I put my arms around his neck and kissed him hard and passionately. That night I gained more than just a first kiss…We spun our own Valentine evening.

~*~

The light came through the shear curtains leading out onto the balcony flittered onto face as I began to wake up. My eyes opened and were graced with the sight of a half naked Jareth the Goblin King. He had a dark blue towel wrapped around his waist, as soon as I began to say something…he dropped his towel.

My jaw almost hit the floor.

Then I came to my senses and before I could marvel at his perfectly formed buttocks he through on his black silk robe, the navy blue one long stolen by me. That's when he turned to me and smiled, I was still laying down but I grabbed the silk, navy blue sheets and wrapped it around my naked body.

"Good Morning, love." Jareth said smiling as I lightly pecked his lips.

" Morning." I said simply as I walked over to my closet, picking through the closet looking for the lightest dress.

"What would you like to do today?" He asked, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind.

"I dunno…Hey Jareth…Are my ears pointier?" I asked as I looked into the mirror right next to the closet.

"Yes and you hair is straighter, and your eyes are more crystal like. I meant to warn you, having sex with a Fey finalizes you 'Transformation' so to speak. I personally wish you could have stayed as beautiful as you were before." He said kissing my neck

"I kinda like this new look, yeah my hair is like pin strait…and lighter…" I marveled

"How about we celebrate our new found closeness," He said, smiling as I blushed lightly at the word 'closeness' "Let's go aboveground!"

I looked at him like he just told me he was not in fact a goblin king and was a used car salesman and was gay.

"Jareth, I thought couldn't go aboveground? Let alone if we do we cant be affectionate at all…people will freak out! I love you but you look old enough to be my dad. Don't get me wrong! I love it, I think its sexy, but the law…" I said as I continued to look for a light, summer-like dress.

"So? I can play along, we can be a father and a daughter out for lunch and shopping. Yes I am going to take you shopping. Casey, please? I want to do this for you." Jareth said before putting on a kicked puppy look.

"Oh alright…but we have to dress normally! I want to wear jeans and a tee for once." I said rolling my eyes as Jareth started to act like a four year old who just got told he could stay up till twelve on a school night.

"Oh and as a gift look under the bed!" Jareth said as he went over to his closet and began to think of what he would want to wear.

My eyebrows knit together before I looked under and screamed

"OH MY GOD!"

My entire wardrobe from my old closet was in several boxes under the bed.

"Jareth? How did you?…Where did you?…this was so…" I babbled before I got off my knees and ran over to give him a flying tackle hug/ make out moment.

~*~

"I dunno about you but I am totally ready." I smiled as I walked from my vanity in the main part of the bedroom to the bathroom where Jareth was sketching out an outfit that he could conjure up with a crystal.

He looked back and covered the drawing before I could look.

"I don't know how you expect me to keep my hands off you if your wearing that." Jareth said smirking as he checked me out without shame.

I looked down at my outfit.

I wore a pair of destroyed shorts with a black and blue plaid blouse. For shoes I wore a pair of black drawn on converse. The blouse was un buttoned low enough to see the black cami I wore on underneath it. My hair was down, my bangs in my face.

"What? I look good right? Oh…maybe I sound change…" I babbled before Jareth pressed his lips to mine.

"You look spectacular, that's the problem," He said as I looked at humanized from the quick little lip lock we had. "Now go to breakfast and I will meet you there."

As I walked away he gave my a light slap on the bottom, I yelped before remembering to mention something very important.

"Jareth don't forget about your hair." I said wile slipping away before he had time to argue with me.

~*~

"Where could he be?" I thought as I sat alone in the great hall

It was an hour ago when I left Jareth in the bedroom and I was beginning to worry that my dream might come true…that was until I looked at the doors as the great hall was opened.

A boy no older than sixteen stood in the doorway wearing jeans that were tight but not too tight. He had a black shirt, that was form fitting and showed of he great body, on top of that was a black and red striped button up shirt. He had on a studded belt with a pair of black, red, and white vans. His hair was light blonde and was tussled, like Robert Pattinson hair.

"Who…how?…what?" I babbled as this gorges human being came closer, I kept speaking incoherently till I say his eyes.

One blue and one caramel.

"Jareth?!?" I exclaimed as he sat in his chair at the head of the table.

"Yes?" He said casually buy his eyes were sparkling.

"How did you? What did you…I'm so confused!" I wined as I lightly slammed my head on the table.

He looked at me and rolled his eyes

"Don't do that, you need all your brain cells," he said with a smiled " and it was easy, just like how I can transform into a barn owl, same concept just a bit different."

I was stunned, my jaw was ready to hit the floor. He closed my mouth.

"Careful, flies will fly in if you keep your mouth open like that, now c'mon, I know this is a shock but I will transform back one we get back to the underground. I did this so we could act like lovers." He said leaning over and giving me a kiss.

That certainly woke me from my daze.

~*~

"So what mall would you like to go to my love?" Jareth asked after we finished breakfast and were headed to the throne room so he could send us to the aboveground.

"Uh…how about the Pheasant Lane mall, in New Hampshire? I used to love going there with my friends…" I said, mumbling the last bit.

But Jareth had sharp hearing

"You may bump into somebody, they will remember you but they think your living with your dad, so dose your mom." He said, lifting my chin as I let a tear appear in the corner of my eye.

"Really?" I piped up

"Really, Really." He said smiling

'Oh thank you Jareth!" I laughed giving him a kiss.

Little did I know that the shopping trip would take a turn for the worst…

~*~

"Oh Jareth, where did you get the money to pay for lunch? I didn't think you could change chickens in for actual cash." I jeered as we walked hands intertwined from my favorite Chinese food restaurant in Dracut to the car Jareth rented.

A silver S60 Volvo.

The cheeky bugger read my notebook filled with things I was going to buy one I wrote my first novel.

Anyway, we were on our way to the mall when I made him stop at Sullivan Farms to get ice cream and then we continued on our way.

"So what would you like to get for an early wedding gift?" he said smiling as we pulled into the mall parking lot and started to walk to the mall, once again hand in hand.

"Uh…I don't know. I do wan to pick out wedding dresses though. There is a David's bridal up the street we can go there after." I said, as Jareth opened the door for me

"I guess so…would you rather sketch your own dress? I took the liberty of looking at you sketches and I though some of them were beautiful. Its where I got the inspiration for this outfit." He said with a smirk

"You know you really have to star asking oh wise goblin king!" I laughed while poking him in the ribs. "But you are right, I did sketch out my perfect wedding gown, I even designed the back. I'll give a final copy to the tailor when we get back to the underground." I said quietly, hoping nobody caught anything we were saying, we looked really young to be getting married.

We walked into hot topic together and Jareth immediately went over and looked at all the tight pants and tees and went nuts. With his newly conjured up wealth, which was unbeatable I was told, he bought anything I said looked good on him. I looked at all the dresses and shirts and pants and accessories, anything I liked and I thought looked good he also bought. I was looked at the tights and fishnets when Jareth pulled me towards the back of Hot Topic, I thought he was going to make me try on the corsets but he just wanted to kiss me.

"I love you." He said, resting his forehead on mine.

"I love you too." I said smiling as I pressed my lips to his.

"Casey! Oh my god! Casey is that you?" I heard an all to familiar voice say.

I looked up from the man (or boy in this form) I have fallen head over heels in love with to the boy who I fell head over heels in love with but he broke me beyond repair.

Sebastian Murphy.

He looked no different, his hair was still the long shoulder length black mop I remember. He wore a pair of skin tight black jeans with his old Disturbed band tee.

"Sab?" I said, my head was foggy from the kiss and my heart was pounding cause I was still slightly in love with him.

"Oh my god Casey! You look great!" He exclaimed as he slipped his arms around my waist and gave me one of amazing hugs, my head was in his neck and his smelt like a bonfire. It was intoxicating.

I could see from the corner of my eye that Jareth was pissed.

"So who's the friend?" Sab said as he let go of me, his arm around my shoulder.

"Uh Sab this is my fia-boyfriend…Ja-" I started, almost saying Fiancé before Jareth took his hand that was around my shoulders off me and shook Sab's hand

"James. Pleasure to meet you." He said, giving Sab a 'If-you-want-to-live-don't-touch-her' look.

"Cool, I'm Sabastion Murphy. Call me Sab, so what are you too up to?" He said as the cashier came up with about ten bags

"Here you go guys! Thanks so much!" She said smiling as I tried to take some of my bag but Jareth (or James, if you want to call him) insisted he take them.

"Holy Shit! That's all yours?! Casey are you a stripper or something?" Sab laughed as he looked at all the stuff we had, including the matching bras and undies I snuck in.

"No, My parents are from a long line of English nobles, we have a lot of money save up over the generations. I insist on paying for anything my lovely Casey asks for and a few things I insist on her having, she is never greedy." Jareth/James said glaring as we started to leave.

"Oh cool, well I t was great seeing you again Case," He said and before I could register what was happening Sap pressed his lips to mine. Once he pulled away, he gave Jareth a smirk and said "Pleasure to meet you." before stalking off.

I touched my lips gently.

He kissed me…but I love Jareth…and it didn't tingle like it dose when I kiss Jareth…I'll show Sab.

"Hey Sab wait up!" I said running up to him, he turned all to smugly.

He when to say something but I didn't here it, all I hear and anybody within twenty feet around (including Jareth/James) was a good, hard slap.

"DON'T YOU EVER FUCKIN' KISS ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! YOU BROKE MY HEART AND TOYED WITH ME LONG ENOUGH! Stay away from me! Or I WILL get a restraining order against you Sabastion Murphy! I no longer love you, I love James, James Bannatyne, and soon I'll may him and become his Goblin Queen, you bastard!" I Scream before slapping him again and walking up to Jareth/James. Oh and if I had not cause enough of a scene I grabbed Jareth/ James and kissed him like I was trying to devour his face like frickin' Hannibal Lecter. I pulled Jareth off towards where we parked and left a stunned Sab and crowd of people in my wake.
