Neither of them could tell you how it began. All they remember is being plauged by thoughts of the other. Every night visions of the other danced across their minds. Then the next thing they knew Jack and Pitch were in each others arms. Sharing kisses in the shadows, laying together underneath the moon. They just knew they were in love.
And yet Pitch couldn't deny who he was. Every kiss they shared he could feel his hands twitch as they wanted to tear into the pale flesh. As they lay together watching the moon float across the sky, whispered thoughts taunted him. 'Kill him. He's so vulnerable. Do it!' He didn't know how but Pitch always managed to keep himself in check. Not once had he ever harmed Jack. He didn't want to hurt the one he loved, but that didn't mean he wouldn't. If he was to ever lose control... He didn't want to think about it. He looked at the winter spirit sleeping beside him. Again the whispers invaded his mind. He inched away from the boy, not wanting to disturb his sleep. Yes, distance was the only way to keep him from being hurt. Pitch knew Jack wanted to be closer but that was too great a risk to Pitch. The teen stired in his sleep.
"Pitch...?" He mumbled.
"I'm here Jack." He replied, placing a hand upon the silver locks. Jack turned and snuggled into Pitch's shoulder. He lifted his face and captured Pitch in a quick kiss. Pitch melted into the kiss, pulling Jack closer. He broke the kiss and looked down at his love. "I have to go Jack." He said looking to the sky. The sun was starting to rise over the horizon. Jack sighed and let Pitch return to the darkness. Pitch leaned against one of the tunnels of his home, staring at his hands. He couldn't believe how close he had come. That kiss, Jack may not have realized it but Pitch recalled the claws his hands nearly became. Clenching his hand he punched the wall, wincing as the skin broke and blood oozed across his knuckles. "Why? Why is it that the only thing I can think about is how much pain to put you through?" He pulled his shadows around him and crawled into his bed. Jack's innocent, smiling face the last thought in his head as he fell asleep.
Jack spent almost the entire winter day thinking about Pitch. There was a wall between them that drove Jack insane. He wanted Pitch to feel comfortable around him. He flew over Burgess making snow fall lightly to the ground hoping that would distract him. It didn't. The day wore on and eventually school was let out. Jack managed to find a distraction then when he went and started a snowball fight with Jaime and the others. They all went home laughing as night fell. Jack saw them all off before flying back to his lake. Pitch stood there at the shore like he did every night. Jack glided across the slick surface and into the nightmare kings waiting arms. Pitch smiled sadly at his oblivious lover. He had no idea the true danger he was in.
