First kiss, jade and jareth
Adrenaline was still pumping through Jareth’s veins as he walked backstage. There shows were getting more intense as the crowds got bigger. Performing had always been thrilling and he had always put his all into his performances, but for some reason the energy had been increasing with every new show they put on. And tonight had been the single most exhilarating show he had ever been a part of.
Jareth walked down the hall just behind the rest of his band as they chatted amongst themselves. They were all practically drenched in sweat, Lydia’s makeup was even dripping down her face. This had been their home show, their final show, of their first proper national tour. They weren’t in particularly big venues quite yet, but they were far bigger than the dive bars they had started in and the crowds that came to see them were real fans, people who loved what they did, not just random bar patrons. Maybe that had something to do with the energy, and being home with a crowds made of people that had been with them since the beginning just made everything feel so much more real.
Now, at the end of their tour, they all filed back into their dressing room, sweaty and exhausted but never any happier.
Jareth put his guitar back in its case and went to grab a bottle of water, but was tackled into a hug by his favorite short person.
“H-hey, geez, calm down!” He laughed, wrapping his arms around her.
“I’m so glad you’re finally home,” Jade said, practically speaking into his shirt. She looked up at him with the biggest smile on her face, and suddenly Jareth’s breath was completely taken away.
She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life. With the adrenaline still in his veins, he couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her. He felt his heart beating faster once again when she kissed back.
