Sarah shuddered a bit as she grew closer to him, trying to keep her courage for as long as she could. Only a few more steps. You can't back out now. Just do it. She finally stood before him, still ringing her hands and her palms becoming extremely sweaty. She stood there in silence, looking only at her hands before, finally, raising her eyes to look at him. She shuddered again, reaching a shaking hand up to his face and grazing it slightly before beginning to lift herself up to his level by standing on the tips of her toes.

Jareth watched her carefully. He could not tell if she was shaking because she was terrified, or because she was nervous. Either way, he was wondering what she was planning on trying. His eyes went to watch her hands, and then he gazed back at her face. He swallowed when he noticed that she was staring at him, and he felt his heart almost catch in his throat. What was she doing? He had to refrain from jumping when her fingers brushed against his skin, and that touch felt almost electric. If he touched her now...Jareth swallowed. He had to warn her, it was only right. She did not need to be bound to him, it would not be right. However all that was dashed from his brain when she started to raise herself to be closer to him.

Sarah continued to shake, her legs nearly giving out on her as she inched closer to Jareth's face. "I just need to see something." she said, staring into his eyes for a long while before her eyes darted to his lips. She inched ever closer, their lips nearly touching before she paused, suddenly terrified to continue. Oh, god. What's the matter with you just do it! She remained there for several silent moments, almost hoping he would take matters into his own hands as she desperately tried to force their lips together. But she couldn't. She couldn't move. It's as if she was frozen and only his lips could free her from the prison of her own body.

Jareth nodded slowly. What was she trying to see? Was she attempting to make his hair continue to change colors? Was she attempting to make him experience a rainbow that day? He swallowed and watched as she inched ever closer. If he kissed her now...that would be it. They would be bonded, their emotions would affect the other, and they would be destined to spend the rest of their lives together. He couldn't hold back. He couldn't. His hands went to her lower back, gently holding her flush against him. He took a deep breath before he closed the small gap between their bodies, kissing her soundly. A hmm caught in his throat as he felt the electric spark again, and he knew in the back of his mind that they were now bonded.

Sarah moaned softly as Jareth kissed her, her frozen state somehow melting away and he instincts taking over. She kissed him back softly at first, but as her body began to fill with an unfamiliar feeling she began to kiss him with hopeless abandon. She hadn't even thought that he would feel this good, that his kiss would feel so electrifying. Her hands moved to the back of his head, holding her tightly to him and moaning deeper with every second.

Jareth was surprised that she allowed the kiss to happen, that she was melting into him. He continued kissing her sweetly, his gloved hands stroking her back gently. Had anyone been watching him they would have seen his hair change from a bright turquoise, to an almost violet color almost instantly. He had to bite back a hum as her hands traveled to his head, but the hum escaped his lips when he heard her moan sweetly.

Her fingers now tangled in his wild hair, Sarah continued to moan, his touch causing her body to spark with fire. She couldn't place it, but something felt strange. Something was different about this kiss than the other kisses she had experienced. It was as if everything she was feeling was some how doubled, but she was reveling in the feeling so much that it didn't occur to her to be worried by it. She pulled at his hair, trying to make herself taller so she could kiss him properly, but she was already at her tallest. She scrambled to pull him closer to her, wanting more of him.

Jareth had never felt anything like this. It was as though his desire was twofold, and he realized easily that it was due to the bond. When she started pulling at him he sighed and broke the kiss, his forehead resting against hers. His breathing was heavy, and he was sure that most, if not all, of his hair was bright purple. "What...what were you trying to find out exactly?"

A squeak-like grunt of disapproval escaped her lips as Jareth pulled away from her and a confused look appeared on her face. She gripped at his neck, lowering her body only slightly as he spoke to her. Then she spoke in rushed tones, almost as if she simply couldn't wait to kiss him again. "Oh it's fine I found it. Shut up." she said, lowering his face to hers again and smacking their lips together with a slight growl.

He had to tell her at some point. He kissed her back sweetly and then pulled away again. He was going to tell her now. "Sarah. I have to..." He worked on catching his breath. "To tell you something." He sighed and sat back down on her windowsill. "Please."

Sarah let out another groan of disapproval, her face twisting into an almost aggravated expression. When he spoke how ever, he face softened. He was obviously very worried about something. Why else would he have interrupted something so wonderful to talk? She sat down beside him and tried to keep her mind off the fact that she wanted to continue their make-out session and waited for him to speak.

His hair went almost immediately from purple to orange. "I. My people...Fae that is." Dear god how was he supposed to tell her this. If one of them died now it was it for the both of them, and if he was rejected by her again, he was likely to die from heartbreak anyway."When...if we touch someone." He sighed. This was strange. "We become bonded to them."

Sarah had honestly been expecting some sort of sex talk, him saying that she was really young and that they shouldn't rush things. She had already had her answer prepared as well, noting that she was not a virgin and that she didn't care about their age difference anymore than she cared for rain. But, when Jareth began to speak, she grew confused. "Bonded?" she asked, not understand what he was talking about. "I don't understand."

He could tell that she was confused, and that only fed his anxiety more. "It is something that only happens to Fae, and their chosen. We can feel what the other does, every touch is heightened." He swallowed and looked away from her. "Our lives are intwined..."

Sarah looked down at the floor, shocked at what he was saying to her. Intwined? Chosen? What does it mean? Her eyebrows narrowed as she sat in silence, thinking about what to say next. Was she ready for this kind of commitment? Did she have a choice? How had he expected her to react to this? "I," she said, still not fully understanding the situation. "So what does this mean exactly?"
