"Do you stop believing in the moon when the sun comes up? Or how about the sun when it's covered by the clouds? Just because you can't see us.. Doesn't mean we aren't there. Because we'll always be with you.. and that kind of makes you a guardian too."
-Jack Frost
When Jamie Bennett was ten, he had the greatest adventure of his life. Alongside the five guardians appointed by the Man in the Moon, Jamie helped defeat evil and basically save the world. Along the way, he made lifelong friends; North (known as Santa Clause by most), the Tooth Fairy (Tooth to her friends), the Easter Bunny (Bunnymund), the Sandman (Sandy), and last, but definitely not least, Jack Frost. Six years later, Jamie had grown into a fine teenager, standing 5'9, messy brown hair always flopping into his eyes and just as skinny as he was when we was 10, ringing it at a solid 140lbs. Over the six years, Jamie's friendships with the five guardians strengthened, but his friendship with Jack Frost became more than that, they became best friends. The two were inseparable; Jamie waited every night with his window open, waiting for Jack to come visit. When Jamie was asleep before he made it, he always left a surprise for Jamie; something only he would understand. Sometimes he would leave a scarf lying on the floor that wasn't there before, or he would freeze over the water in a cup by Jamie's bed. Whatever it was, Jamie always knew he had come, no matter what. One day, not long after Jamie's sixteenth birthday, Jamie discovered that his feelings for Jack might be more than friendship.. That is where our story begins.
Just like every night, Jamie Bennett was waiting for Jack. His window was wide open, and he was sitting in his bed, wearing only his boxers and pretending to read a book. Jamie was pretty nervous, he always was when he waited for Jack; now that he knew about his feelings at least. He had read the same word for the thirtieth time when he suddenly realized he could see his breath in the air. A smile filled his face as he put the book down quickly, looking around him to see if he could find his friend. After a couple of seconds it became relevant that Jack wasn't in the room, Jamie crawled out of his bed, now shivering in the cold air, and walked towards the window. He stuck his head out and out of nowhere, Jack appeared, his face a hair's breadth away from Jamie's. Jamie froze, his eyes staring into the ice blue ones only an inch away from his; he was 100% aware of the blue-ish pink lips within a kissable distance from his own and was having a hard time not closing the distance. Jack laughed and leaned his forehead against Jamie's, "well, are you going to let me in?" he said with a smirk, Jamie stuttered an apology and pulled back, walking backwards to sit on his bed. Jack floated in easily, leaning back in the air, his arms behind him supporting his head. They sat in comfortable silence for a couple of minutes before Jack turned his head, staring at the lower regions of Jamie's body. Jamie looked down and drew in a sharp breath before taking a pillow and covering his lap. His face bright red, he tried to not look in Jack's direction. Suddenly, the white haired boy burst out laughing, "Doesn't the cold usually stop that from happening?" His face turned red as he laughed harder before he floated over and landed with a light pat on the ground in front of Jamie. He took the pillow away and kneeled before the 16 year old, "Don't be shy kid, it isn't something to be ashamed of, we all get them." He tried to look into Jamie's eyes, when he couldn't he put his hand on Jamie's cheek and turned his head gently so he could. Jamie was bright red, he stared at Frost; taking in his perfectly tousled white hair, shiny teeth (as white as fresh snow), and almost glowing, frosty blue eyes. You'd think the way he looked would make him seem cold, but Jamie never thought like that. He had always been able to look past it and see the warmth in his smile, the pink in his cheeks.
Without thinking, Jamie leaned forward, closing the short distance between the two and kissed him right on the lips. When Jack didn't respond, Jamie tried to apply pressure but still got nothing in return. When he pulled back, he saw Jack's perfect featured in a mask of shock and confusion and felt his heart break. He pulled away entirely, turning his back on his best friend and lying down in bed, "Just go." He waited and after a brief pause, felt a gust of wind as the window snapped shut. Jamie closed his eyes, trying to keep the tears welling up in his eyes from falling.
Jack couldn't believe it. A kiss? From Jamie Bennett? Jack had thought he was the only one who had feelings more than friendship, he had thought he was the only one holding back in this relationship. Jamie looked so hurt when Jack hadn't reacted better, he wish he could have stayed but he needed to sort out his thoughts before he did anything rash. Currently he was floating over Jamie's little town, occasionally swishing his fingers or the icy staff he always carried to cause a cold wind to blow around the area. He decided he would talk to one of the other guardians; one of his closest friend in the group, Bunnymund.
Lucky for Jack, North always made them carry portable snow globes, at least one anyways. He took one out now, thinking of the Easter palace and crashed it to the ground, watching the bits of snow and broken glass form into a portal with a distorted Easter palace at its centre. Without a second thought, he stepped into it and seconds later was crashing onto the ground, he still hadn't learned how to stick the landing. When he got there, Bunny was leaning back on a short mound of grass, painting an egg carefully. Bunny looked up lazily and grinned when he saw Jack, "Hey kid!" Jack sighed and tried for a smile, failing miserably. Bunny sat up and looked over worriedly, "what's that sigh for? Where's the usual happy-go-lucky, love struck frostbite I'm used to?" Jack walked over and sat back on the air sighing again, "it's Jamie.. he did something and it's got my whole head jumbled!" the rabbit leaned back again, this time pulling a carrot out of nowhere and munching on it thoughtfully, "well, continue?" he said with a laugh to Jack. "He kissed me!" Jack sputtered, sitting up quickly and landing lightly, ruffling his hair with his hands as he sighed once again. The cave was silent for half a minute before Bunny burst out laughing, "well that's a good thing, ain't it mate?" Jack looked over, a sigh in his eyes as, before turning around and walking a couple of steps. "I didn't know how to act and when he rolled over and told me to leave⦠I did." He whispered, ashamed of his own actions. The rabbit breathed in deeply before letting out a sigh of his own, "Well I'm sure if you go and explain it to Jamie it'll be fine, but why don't you take a break tonight eh? You can stay here for the night while I work." Jack sighed and sunk down on a bed of grass, closing his eyes as he did so, Bunny picked the egg back up and started humming softly; Jack fell asleep to the gentle humming.
"Jamie come on, I know you can see me!" Jack said. It was the next day and Jack was floating above Jamie in the classroom, Jamie was trying his hardest to ignore the floating guardian. Jack sighed and decided to just stay silent. This went on for a couple of minutes; suddenly the bell rang signifying the end of the period and Jamie practically ran out of the room. Jack almost fell, startled by the sudden movement and quickly followed after him, easily floating through the people below him. Jack got out of the door just in time to see Jamie turn into the bathroom, he followed him and when he was sure no one else was in the bathroom, he tapped the door with his staff and it froze over, effectively locking the two alone together. Jack landed before stepping around the corner and coming face to face with Jamie (who was trying very hard to look angry but was actually very nervous). "Jamie.. about last-"Jack started but the brunette cut him off. "Don't. Just.. can you tell me now if my feelings are a waste of time? Should I just move on? I'm sorry I like you, I don't want it to rui-" Jamie was cut off with a passionate kiss. Jack pulled back slightly, resting his forehead against Jamie's, their hot breath mingling together. "Me too."
Jamie stood in shock after Jack spoke, the brunette stared back at Jack. He pulled back and Jack started to get nervous, he pulled his lip into his mouth and chewed it. After a couple of minutes of silence Jack grew inpatient, he placed one hand on Jamie's shoulder and the other he reached down to take hold of both of the brunette's hands. He pushed until Jamie's back was against the wall and leaned in, stopping so his lips were hovering just above Jamie's, "Isn't this what you wanted?" he whispered, trying his hardest to be seductive, he smirked when he felt Jamie's head nod, his warm brown eyes staring into Jack's own ice blue ones. Jack closed the distance, pressing his cold lips against Jamie's warm ones, he opened his mouth and nudged at Jamie's closed lips with his tongue; Jamie got the idea and opened his mouth, deepening the kiss. Jack's tongue didn't stop until he was sure he had explored every crevice of the brunette's mouth, and once he finished he pulled back from the kiss (Jamie was starting to gasp), and placed kisses along his friend's jaw, making his way to his ear and pressing his lips against it. Jamie started to tug at his hands and Jack held them for a half a minute longer before giving in and letting him have them back, as soon as he let go Jamie's arms wrapped around Jack's neck and his hands entangled in his snow white hair. "Let's take this somewhere else, shall we?" Jack whispered into his ear, he let out a low chuckle when he heard Jamie moan quietly and nod his head in response.

I condensed the first two chapters into one after some thought and a comment that made me finalize the decision. The second chapter will be longer I promise.. and the good stuff is coming too ;)
