DISCLAIMER: I don't own Rise of the Guardians or any of the characters, but Gretchen and the Grabbit ship are all mine. I'm happy for anyone to use it as long as you credit me ;)
Yey! Sequel! I could not help myself, this writing stuff is addictive! Besides after waking up with no crazy PM from MagicGold34 for two days in a row my life was feeling a bit boring ;)
Thanks to Guess for the awesome suggestion about Pitch turning kids into fearlings. I'll twist it in a crazy way and use it :)
AnonymousWolf those were great suggestions! I can't believe no one has used them already! Sadly my crazy brain had already though of an OC, hopefully you'll fuind it along those lines.
And thanks to Alexia04 for offering to help. I have a vague idea where this is going, I'll just write and see where it takes us. I think that worked with my previous fanfic. If I do get stuck, I'll give you a shout.
Enjoy the fluff, because it won't take ten chapters for Hell to break loose this time around.
Oh, and the sexy fluff is always dedicated to ObsidianLove ;) although hopefully I can give you a new heated ship that you can love without feeling bad about it :)
"Tooth?" said Jack, knocking on her bedroom window.
"J-Jack! What are you doing here?!" asked his girlfriend.
"The question is: what are you doing here?" said the winter boy, letting himself in.
"I- I'm working!" she squeaked.
"Toothie, you're a horrible liar. Working? From your bedroom?" he asked amused, leaning casually on his staff.
Her cheeks were on fire and Jack started slowly walking towards her, leaving his staff against the wall.
"Did you know the party started an hour ago?" he asked, cupping her chin in his hand, forcing her to meet his eyes. "Bunny seems to think that you're not coming, something about you not letting even him see you."
"I've just been busy" she said, trying to look away again.
"So... it seems that, despite all my attempts to make you feel beautiful, you're still self conscious about your feathers" said Jack, running his fingers on a semi bold patch on her lower back, one he was rather fond of.
Last spring, Tooth and Sandy had been kidnaped by the Algae, who tortured them and almost took the fairy's life. When her fellow Guardians found her, she was deadly wounded and missing a lot of feathers all over her body. Since then, she had made a full recovery and her feathers had been growing back slowly, but her plumage still looked uneven and her pale skin was still visible in some places.
"Of course no, I don't care about
my feathers!" said her lips, but her eyes said something completely different.
Jack grinned, an idea forming in his head. He snaked his arms around her waist, pressing her tightly against him, his eyes filled with desire.
"Jack, let go of me" she said, pushing him away to no avail. Truth be told, he wasn't really stronger than she was and she could have escape his embrace if she really wanted to.
"Then maybe, instead of beautiful, I should make you feel sexy" he hissed in her ear, his cold breath sending chills down her spine.
"Jack..." she said, almost whispering "we've talked about this..."
"We've also talked about going to the Christmas party..." he said, his lips caressing her neck, leaving a trace of goosebumps. "Or... we could just stay here and do this..." he smiled, his hands dangerously low on her back.
Jack knew they were going to the party. He was happy to wait until Tooth was ready, but it was still exhilarating to tease her, to feel her knees getting weak, to know he had this much power over her, that she was his, even before he had made her his. He knew that if he really pushed her, she would give in, but he wanted their first time to be like that kiss, after the whole Algae nightmare was over. That soft, gentle kiss, free from fear and hesitation, full of joy and certainty.
"OK, OK! We'll go to the party..." she said, biting her lip. His cold hands had just joined the party on her neck. "You know you're still kissing me, don't you?"
"Umm... Am I? he said, moving to her jaw. "You know I'm not restraining you anymore, don't you?" he said smiling, suddenly making her aware that his hands couldn't be on her neck and her waist at the same time.
She pulled away from him and went to lock herself in the bathroom.
"You have two minutes or I'm freezing the door open!" said the winter spirit, suppressing a laugh.
It was good that she ran away, he also needed to catch his breath. Being so close to her, the sweet flower nectar emanating from her skin, her warm body next to his and her soft feathers tickling his skin... It was beginning to take a toll on Jack's self control, so he decided to think about something else instead.
This Christmas party was really important for the winter boy and he really wanted Tooth there. For 300 years, he spied on families celebrating the holiday, wishing he had a family too. But this year would be different, because this year he did have a family to celebrate with, and he wasn't missing it for the world... well, maybe he would have happily missed it if Tooth had decided to stay.
"Is that a new hoodie?" asked his girlfriend, flying out of the bathroom.
"Oh, yeah! It's my present from Jamie and Sophie. I think Mandy made it herself, look it's got my name on it!" he said turning around to show her a hoodie almost identical to his old one, but with his name crocheted in silver thread on the back, adorned by a little snowflake.
Amanda Bennett, or Mandy as Jack called her lately, was Jamie's and Sophie's mom, and the only grown up in the world who could see the Guardian of Fun. They were not sure how, since Mandy couldn't see any of the other Guardians, but it was probably to do with the fact that Mandy and her kids were the last descendants of his sister, Abigail. It took Jack a few months to get used to Jamie and Sophie calling him 'Uncle Jack', and he still felt something warm on his chest every time they did.
"I went to see them this morning while North was sleeping. Of course she pretended that she couldn't see me in front of her husband, but they smiled once in a while and left a present for me next to Jamie's window" he said grinning.
Jack could barely believe that this time last year he was all alone, and now he had not one, but two families to celebrate the holidays with.
"That's amazing, Jack! I'm very happy that you've found your family" she said, smiling warmly.
He smiled back.
"Ready?" he said, offering his hand to her.
When she took it, he pulled her close and kissed her lips gently.
"You're beautiful" he said "you're always beautiful"
Jack opened a portal to the North Pole, knowing she was afraid to fly outside and being seen.
oh, and I haven't changed, I'm still an Ania for reviews so please don't be shy ;)
