[White Door] The Beginning
(So, with TWD comm opening, not_a_savage wanted me to find the first fic I wrote that began the white door idea. So I cross post here, and link to TWD.)
Prompt: Jack/Jules - White
The door was white. Very white. In fact, the whole house was white. Simple. Understated.
Normal.
Juliet stood on the outside of the white door and took a long, deep breath and then knocked. She let out the breath in a shaky exhale and closed her eyes. The last 24 hours had been filled with excitement, nerves and fear. All she felt now - was the fear. Bone chilling, penetrating, fear.
The door opened and she felt him standing there. She opened her eyes and looked up at the man standing before her. He wore a navy blue tshirt and jeans and the softest of smiles. She noticed the glitter of tears in his eyes, but didn't focus on it. She just looked at his smile, his jaw, his arms...
She had known she'd missed him, sure. It just wasn't until she was standing before him, after all that time, that she felt the full capacity of...everything. She hadn't seen him since that day he'd left the island, and she had feared so many times she never would again.
"Hi Jules," he murmured, looking as happy as she was feeling.
"Hi Jack," she whispered, unable to voice anything else. They stared at each other for a long moment before his arms pulled her to his chest and he held her tightly. Her eyes closed again. His lips pressed to the top of her head. They both sighed.
It was a long time before he finally stepped backwards and brought her inside, closing the white door behind them.
