Hi im sorry I know I should be working on Frosty darkness but I dont have a laptop for very long and I really wanted to get this out, but there will be a lot of updates this weekend so stay tuned for those. And also one of the characters in this is not mine but another authors Shadow-StrikeRaven from her story 1 of 5 or it takes time which is really good I'll put a link at the bottom. I defiantly recommend it.

RotG belongs to dreamworks

Shady belongs to Shadow-StrikeRaven

Summary- The Guardians are just relaxing and bonding when they get an unexpected visitor. And Jack reacts in an...interesting way. And it turns into a heart-to-heart.

The four older laughed as Jack and Shady finished telling their story of a prank that backfired years earlier, a prank that turned them black and blue...literally. Shady commented, "Hahaha you should have seen us we were colored that for almost two weeks."

Jack continued on, "Haha yeah, we kept trying to lay low..."

"Oh my gosh yea apparently word had spread about our little accident and some people wanted black mail." Shady finished for him.

It was about a month after Pitch's defeat and the four legends were quickly getting used to Jack's presence. They were gradually finding out bits and pieces of his real personality instead of the persona the other spirits knew. When asked to share with them his real self Jack replied with them finding out on their own declaring it would be more fun. They had found some surprising things so far like, he could be smart, cunning, manipulative, caring, passionate, stubborn but also shy, nervous, vulnerable, almost scared even of the world around him. And in the words of bunny he was also whiny, bratty and childish but the guardians wouldn't want it any other way.

Jack then added, "Yeah, those paint bombs were so faulty. Somehow we were able to evade all the other spirits. I would've died of embarrassment if any of them succeeded in getting photos. I mean come on! I'm JackFrostgrad-A prankster of the spirit world!"

Shady then said, "You're so good, you got yourself!" He and Sandy burst into laughter.

After a few more hours of hanging out, Shady bid his goodbye, and the five guardians were just enjoying each others company when all of sudden they heard a small mewl. They blinked and looked at each other and out of nowhere a small, orange tabby kitten walked and sat in the middle of the room and just stared at them. The four older guardians reacted at the same time,

"Wha' is tha bloody thing doing here?" Bunny asked.

North laughed, "Seems we have more guests, Da?"

"Aww, she's so cute, but I do wonder how she got here." Tooth wondered while looking around her. Sandy had a question mark floating overtop his head. Before they knew what had happened Jack flew towards her and scooped her up in his arms and cooed at her.

"Sunshine...what are you, how did you get here?" He asked making it obvious he knew the cat.

North, Tooth and Bunny asked in unison, "Sunshine?"

Jack looked up and smiled sheepishly, "Uh yea. Sorry guys, she's my cat. Although I have no idea how she got here I'm almost positive I left her in Burgess."

Bunny then asked, "Frostbite, since when have ya had a cat mate?" the others nodded curious because Jack had never mentioned it before.

Jack smiled softly while looking at Sunshine, "Well, it was a few months before the whole Pitch thing I was out making snow and stuff ya know doing what I do best and I noticed this lil' girl huddled under a tree, so I went over to her and she was pretty badly hurt. I think she may have been abused so I took her back to my place and healed her up and adopted her, took her awhile to get used to being cared for but she eventually trusted me." Sunshine nuzzled the underside of his neck and he laughed holding her closer.

North smiled fondly at the boy, "Ya really care for the kitten don't ya?"

Jack looked at them smiled sheepishly, "Yea, well to, uh be honest it was the first time someone actually stayed by my side, and needed me...corny huh?" He laughed nervously, dangerously putting himself out there.

Tooth flew over by his side and sat there petting Sunshine, "It's not corny Jack. Not when you think about it."Jack looked at her questioningly.

North added, "Yes Jack, you were alone for 300 years. Wanting to feel needed and wanted is rational, heck I would be worried if you didn't feel that way."

Sandy made a flash of multiple images and Tooth translated, "Your right Sandy!" she turned to Jack, "You're not alone anymore Jack. You have us and we'll always need and want you. No matter what happens we all know now that we don't want to live without you Jack. You're family...We are family." She gave him a sweet smile as he just sat there shocked at her little speech.

He was beyond shocked, he was wanted. "I-I'm...w-wanted...?" He asked tentatively. He looked at the other three to find them all smiling warmly at him, even Bunny.

Tooth chuckled, "Yes jack your wanted...like I said your family."

Jack whispered looking downwards, "F-Family...?" He looked up to find them all on the ground in front of him.

"Ya frostbite, even though your a nuisance I gotta admit your not half-bad." Bunny said with a small grin.

North pulled jack so he was slightly leaning on North's chest, Jack tensed at the sudden contact but slowly eased up. Sandy sprinkled him with some sand dust, sensing the young sprite's sleepiness. He feel asleep cuddling Sunshine and having a small smile on his face as North carried him to a spare bedroom. He looked so young and childish asleep.

"Aww he's so cute." Tooth cooed.

North then added, "Da. We will need to be careful."

"Whaddya mean mate?" Bunny asked curiously.

North explained, "We do not know Jack well and it is obvious he has insecurities and is hesitant about being around people all the time. So we must prove to him that he is always welcome and must not doubt that. That he is wanted."

The others smiled in agreement as they left the young winter spirit to sleep.
