The shortest drabble I have ever written... but it's just so sweet...
Jack and Tooth belong to DreamWorks and William Joyce. (It's kind of nice not to have a disclaimer for all of the Big Four.)
Dedicated to WingsofGoassamer!
Sunset Stained Frost
Jack Frost leaned against the spires that made up Tooth Palace, shepherd's crook against his shoulder, watching the Tooth Fairy queen as she fluttered around, giving directions to her army of fairies. Baby Tooth was in her usual place, perched on his shoulder.
At the moment, all his attention was on Toothiana.
She was jewel tones and the flutter of gossamer wings. She was the first kind smile he had received in three hundred years – the first kindness, really. The invitation into the Guardians didn't really count as a kindness. She was a promise kept.
And she was much more.
A breeze picked up among the sunset-stained palace, carrying Jack over to Toothiana's work station, where she was still intent on directing her fairies.
He landed in one of the lattice work windows, toes curling around the cool (now frosted) metal for balance.
"Hey, Tooth."
She turned, amethyst eyes a little wide in surprise as she looked back. But it turned into a smile when she saw it was him.
Leaning forward, Jack pressed a cool kiss to her cheek. He heard her gasp at the touch, and vaguely registered a squeal from Baby Tooth.
He couldn't bite back a grin as the wind picked up, pulling him away, and back to his own work.
Reviews are greatly appreciated. I would love to know what you think, and criticism is welcome. I don't think I've ever posted anything so short.
