Re: The Wedding Celebration
Of course I want to be accepted, I replied, but my voice was flat and lacked passion. But I don't want it out of pity or- or even duty. If I am to be accepted it must be... I stopped myself. *What in God's name are you babbling about, old man? You really are quite mad! This place suits you rather well!*
I don't know... I finally finished, my voice thick with exhaustion. If only we never had to grow old and say goodbye... life would just be so much easier, would it not, to remain all our lives with those that we love most?
I turned to look at him now, finding comfort in the sight of him, still there, laying quite still in the bed next to me. A thought struck me and I could not help but ask, Do you ever look back on your years and count how many opportunities you let slip by?

Re: The Wedding Celebration
Opportunities...I took each and every single one ... to gain a bit of glory...I failed to see the the other opportunities, those to gain ... those to gain life ...or a friendly word...or a smile... The thought of this filled me with a deep sadness...yes, now that he said it...I wished I could start again, do things differently...

Re: The Wedding Celebration
We are not so unlike, then... I mused more to myself than to him. I had many opprtunities early on to take the right path, but I just could not accept the fate that had been given to me... though that fate meant finding you...
I then recalled my days at Toulon, watching the Inspector, so proud and haughty, the symbol of authority, keeping his watch in front of my cell. How I had admired him and hated him at the same time! Javert was the very man that I did not want to be... ever! And yet, we were both driven just the same by our own forces and ambitions. We really were very similiar and I took a strange comfort in knowing that.

Re: The Wedding Celebration
I caught myself at studying the profile of his face, the outline of his nose, his lips... and quickly turned my head again...

Re: The Wedding Celebration
I looked over to just in time to see him studying me with those keen green eyes, then quickly look away. How I wanted to find favour in those eyes! How I wanted them to watch me as they had in Toulon. I drew in a sharp breath at my thoughts. Was there a part of me that felt something strongly for this man? I hadn't realised there could be much more than a basic understanding there. But why, all of a sudden, could I feel my cheeks flush crimson and a slight stir in the pit of my stomach.
I turned my face then to look at him full on. Even in such a dark, depaired place, he was beautiful. More beautiful now than I had ever seen, even with him so close to me in those days in prison. I caught a long forgotten memory of his breath hot on my cheek as he chastised me in the line once. I touched my cheek, just then, and closed my eyes unaware of it.

Re: The Wedding Celebration
He had turned his head aswell, I felt it rather then I saw it...and there it was, a sudden tension, a tension like I had never felt it before... or almost, because there had been a similar kind in my life, years and years ago...and strangely it had involved him, the very same man, just like now...

Re: The Wedding Celebration
My heart was racing in my ears as a newly realised feeling dawned on me. I loved this man. I was sure that I did. Why else would I have kept the chase up for so long? Why else would I had not struggled to be returned to the prison?
I sat up very slowly then and swung my legs to the side of my bed.
Javert... I said simply, in a whisper, his name burning my lips as I spoke it. I wanted desperately to move to his bed, but I stayed where I was, gripping my own bed, sheets twisted in my fingers, my eyes on him the whole time.

Re: The Wedding Celebration
((NRP: It's been a while, hasn't it?))
Against what seemed to be my better judgement, I slid off my bed and practically crawled to his bed. I knelt by his side. I watched his face, so close to mine in the dim light of the ward. I reached out to touch him with a trembling hand as I had before. I touched his cheeks, his forehead, his eyelids, and his lips marvelling at such beauty in such a dark place. As my fingers trailed his mouth, I got the strangest desire to kiss it. I could feel the desire in my own lips, making them ache. I could feel myself leaning forward slightly as if I were going to kiss him.
A little frightened by these emotions, I drew my hand away slowly and sat back, my face blazing and my heart racing within me. Forgive me. I said, looking down at the floor.

Re: The Wedding Celebration
All of my thoughts were whirling in a way they had never done, in this moment when fantasies and reality seemed to melt, to become one explosion of senses. I had never been touched before, apart from handshakes, and never had I longed for it. never until this moment when his lips were only inches apart from my own. The sudden pain when he drew away seemed to tear my chest apart, and I found myself moved to sit up in a rush, by strength I had thought gone from my body for good
Don't stop
The words had left my lips before I even knew what they meant...

Re: The Wedding Celebration
His words stopped me from moving any farther away. I looked into Javert's eyes, trying to discern which emotions that I saw there.
Don't stop? I echoed a little dumbly, raising myself onto my knees so we were more level and leaning close to him once more, my eyes drifting down to his lips.
