Jaime felt a horrible pang in his chest when the sleigh was no longer in sight.

"Jack.." He said solemnly.

That night he gently cried himself to sleep, just at the thought of Jack being real, but not able to see him.

*1 year later*

Jaime was walking home from school, dragging his feet as he held a depressive mood. It hadn't snowed since the last time he saw Jack, and he couldn't help but wonder why.

"Maybe..." Jaime quickly shook the thought out of his head as he made his way up his stairs, on to his porch, and into his house. Not wanting to think about what he almost thought about, he kick of his boots, went upstairs and changed into him jammies, and ran into the kitchen to make some cocoa. Despite no snow, it was still freaking cold out. Thank god it's Friday, no more walking in the freezing dawn to school ever again. Well, for two days. As the mircowave beeped, Jaime grabbed a towel to prevent himself from burning his hand on the hot mug. As he made his way into his living room, he only just noticed that no one was home. Strange.

"Maybe mom and Sophie are picking up groceries.." He said as he set down his mug, plopped onto the couch, and began watching cartoons.

About an hour passed by and he started to shiver.

"Why's it so cold?" He complained out loud. Groaning in annoyance, he got up to go check the thermostat.

"What the heck! It's 43 in here?!" Looking at the other needle he grew more ticked. "Is this broken or something? You're supposed to be on 75 you stupid piece of junk!" As the needle dropped some more, he yelled at it. He heard a kinda cracking noise and quickly turned his head toward the kitchen. Looking around, his eyes met with the window which was.. Frosted..

"What the.." He said in awe as ice formed. As the ice spread and began to make beautiful detailed designs, he slowly started to smile. He didn't notice his walls to do the exact same thing as the window, nor the floors beginning to have beautiful ice swirls.

"Psst"

Jamie gasped and jumped a little. Turning around, his eyes met with-

"Jack Frost!" Jamie ran up to him and hugged his waist (due to height). He swear he felt his heart about to burst.

Jack gave a happy giggle at the boy's exciting mood.

"Jaime, buddy," he began, "I missed you so, much!" He said as he picked Jaime up and twirled around a bit.

Jaime began laughing. This was so amazing!

"Haha! Jack, put me down! I'm gonna be sick!"

"Ha oh yeah, right, sorry" Jack said as he stopped twirling and put Jaime back on solid ground.

Still looking at Jack like he was a superstar, Jaime grabbed Jack's ice cold hand and led him into his living room. They sat on the couch for a bit. The mood obviously changing.

"Jack.. N-not that I'm not happy to see you. But... Why did you come here?"

Jack inhaled and slowly exhaled. He leaned back on the couch and extended his arm across the back. He crossed his leg over his other, then began to rub his chin with his free hand, trying to find the right words.

"Jaime.. I came here because.." Jack sighed as he removed his hand from his chin. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the couch and sighed again. Jaime wondered why he was acting like this.

"I was afraid of losing you, Jaime.."

Jaime's cheeks grew warm for some reason he didn't know. Before he could wonder why, Jack continued.

"I was afraid of losing you Jaime, the first person who believed in me. When I saw your light flickering nonstop, I couldn't stand it. Tons of lights go out, everyday. But yours is the one that matters. I want your light to shine forever. I hated to see it flicker over and over this past month. And.. It's not a guardians job to show themselves to every kid who doesn't believe them anymore, but your not like every kid to me, Jaime. I care about you.."

Jack opened his eyes, and tilted his head over to look at Jaime.

"I care about you a lot, Jaime."

Before Jaime could say anything, or even think of anything to say, his front door opened.

"Heavens, why is it so cold in here?" He could he his mom.

"Cold. Cold brr!" Said little Sophie.

"Jaime? Are you home dear?" Asked his mom.

"In the living room, mom!" He yelled. Sophie quickly ran in and gasped. Only now did he notice the room loosing it's blue glow as it got warmer.

"Jack Frost! Cold!" She jumped onto the couch, in between Jack and Jaime, and began to poke and pinch Jack's cheeks.

"Soph, leave 'im alone" Jaime whispered.

"Jaime, can you put your sister to bed? She's way up past her bedtime"

"Yeah mom"

"No! Play with Jack Frost" she protested as Jaime picked her up over his shoulder.

"What is that girl going on about?" His mom laughed from the kitchen.

"She's just saying how Jack Frost makes things cold" he laughed. He smiled at Jack, having a slight pink tint of his cheeks.

"C'mon" he whispered, "You and me can hang out in my room"

Jack nodded in agreement. They were now in Sophie's room. And she was putting up a fuss.

"Sophie, go to bed already!" Jaime said sounding irritated.

Sophie continued to jump on her bed and then stuck her tongue out at her older brother, earning a laugh from Jack.

"Oh come on Jaime, she's just messing with ya" he said as he walked over to her bed and sat down. "Try to sleep little Soph, ok?" He wrapped his arms around her and she instantly melted into his arms, ironic as that sounds. He laid her in her bed and tucked her in.

"I know you're not tired.. So watch this"

Jack picked up his staff and lightly tapped each wall of her room, including the ceiling. And very slowly, ice on the walls began to form 2-Dimensional tree shapes and the ceiling formed branches and the moon. Cloud shapes began to grow, and snow gently fell from them, landing softly and melting.

Sophie smiled as she watched the beauty, she didn't even notice Jack and her big brother leave her room. And soon she was sound asleep.

"That would've taken me hours if you weren't here.." Jamie said in awe as he looked at Jack "Thanks"

Jack smiled, "No problem buddy", he pat Jamie's head and ruffled his head a little. The two stood in the hallway for a moment, just looking at each other. Jack cleared his throat.

"Oh um" Jamie stuttered as he felt his cheeks grow warm, "My uh, my room, let's go, yeah?" Jack just laughed at his friend's awkwardness, finding it adorable.
