Part 8/?

Xander danced playfully around, bouncing the three year old in his arms. Years had passed since Xander had first met Jareth, and now he was happily married and a member of the underground in his own right. There was one thing missing though, and as cheesy and girly as it sounds, what was missing was a sense of family. Xander thought he might just have found the answer to his problem in the little boy he was holding.

It wasn’t likely that his rather large and robust uncle would be able to make it through the Labyrinth ; besides he’d seen the way the uncle had looked at the boy and there was no love there, hell there wasn’t even obligation. Besides that, when Xander had asked the boy’s name, the child had been perplexed when he had been told that ’freak’, ‘boy’ and ‘little shit’ weren’t names. There was something special about this little boy, maybe it was because the boy‘s emerald eyes were brimming with light and magic.

Jareth arrived in his owl form and transformed in midair. Xander smiled gently at his husband, he could see the foul mood he was in. The fat man had obviously said or done something to offend him. Xander wondered if the man was now residing in the bog of eternal stench.

“He gave up, didn’t even try. The -” Jareth paused and looked at the little boy and censured his words. “man” was growled out “walked less then twenty yards and gave up! Of all the…” The little boy interrupted.

“Does this mean I can stay here with you?” the little boy asked Xander. Xander looked at his husband, eyes pleading that the little boy not be turned into a goblin. Jareth gazed into bright green eyes and fell in love for the second time in his very long life. He nodded to Xander, who smiled brightly.

“Yes sweetheart, you can stay with Jareth and me. We’ll be your new daddies, okay?” asked Xander, even as Jareth pretended to be put out.

“Ok!” exclaimed the little boy happily, laying a sloppy kiss on Xander’s cheek then catching Jareth unaware with an equally sloppy kiss. Xander laughed out loud at the shocked expression on his husband’s face his husband was making.

The young boy struggled to get down as a fairy caught his attention. Xander let him down and the child ran after the fairy, giggling as it flew in a dance around him.

“One thing.” said Xander. “Did you learn the boy’s name?”

“Yes, it is Harry, Harry Potter.

 

FIN …until next time
