Due to popular demand this fic is now no longer a one-shot


Jack had visited Tooth again, he seemed to do that lately he tired to stay away but Tooth has such a strong effect on him that he could not help it. He had to see her again.

They had spend these past couple of weeks getting to know each other, they started to develop this connection that neither one could deny.

It was quite obvious to everyone that Easter had not only been a moment of self discovery for Jack. But it had also been his shot at a chance for romance

Jack only had his lake to sleep in, it just seemed so lonely , about two years after the battle of Easter.Tooth had become his anchor, he did not mean to fall for her but some how he did.

When he first met her he thought she was strange and unusual,but now he thought she was shunning intelligent and compassionate. So, one day when he visited Tooth looked at him with concern and started asking him where he went and where he slept Jack told her the truth.

That he had no home. No roof over his head or anybody to greet at the end of the day he slept on trees or inside hollow trees and the,only place he had was the lake.

Tooth hugged him and then said,"Jack that is terrible you can stay,here if you like I have plenty of rooms"

Jack blushed and said,"Thanks I appreciate your offer. But, I'm fine. Besides I do not want to burden you with my presence here ."

Tooth looked at him with shock and said, "Jack that is ridiculous, you have not and will not ever be a burden! You are a great person Jack...

Tooth paused and looked into his clear blue eyes. Tooth hovered closer to him and then gave him a warm smile as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You saved me and all my friends. If it weren't for you, I would have been gone forever. then the children would never remember what's truly important"..

Tooth had encouraged Jack to move in with her, he could come and go when he liked and he could always make his room the temperature he required to live in the palace.

Jack could not help himself anymore, he pulled her close to him using the hook of his staff and placed his lips on hers. Deepening the kiss he wrapped his arms around her it wasn't until she shivered that he let her go.

Suddenly the reality of what he had done woke him from his love struck fantasy.That, was the first time Jack had ever impulsively kissed someone as Jack Frost.

Sure he had kissed a few girls without thinking about it. In his past life most of them ended with either the girl kissing him back or shoving him towards the pig pin in the mud.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry, its just nobody has ever done something like this for me and the fact that it is you that offered this, it ...well, means a lot I'm sorry for kissing you".

Jack stuttered out with embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head swaying his staff back and forth behind his back.

Jack did not want to force her into anything, he still found it hard to confess his feels to her. He thought that if he kissed her first, then maybe she might feel the same but she has not responded to the kiss.

He was about to go but then Tooth grabbed his hand. Her eyes pleading him to stay she still did not say anything but that was okay he liked the feeling of her hand holding his.

Tooth wrapped her arms around his neck as she flowed in the air and giggled at his embarrassment. She took a moment to drink him in, he was so handsome.

He had sharp mature features and he was so kind, understanding and always put others before himself, the battle of Easter all those years ago proved that.

She could not imagine herself being with any other man, she liked him more then she would ever care to admit, if he got down on one knee.

Tooth would gladly marry this terrific man. Although it was his teeth that had drew her in originally it was his presence, his personality and his painful past that made her stay.

Some people had wrote of her affection as some artificial thing, that she only cared of his teeth and nothing more,but that was not true; she had gotten to know Jack in a way that most spirits never could.

Jack always comes to her first, and she always goes to him.

Ever since the battle of Easter Jack always stopped by to check on the teeth, on her fairies and more importantly on her.

She felt her heart quicken he spoke in that soft husky voice of his, his low voice becoming smooth and even when spoke to her.

Almost as if every syllable coming from his mouth was a snowfall of affection for her. (Pun totally intended no regrets)

She found herself reflecting on how she felt about the kiss.His lips were not as cold as they thought they were going to be, it was almost like having fresh cold air, instead of a raging blizzard.

She liked it, and if she were honest with herself she had been having many dreams involving him kissing her like that it was nice to see how it felt in real life.

Jack looked scared, sad and defeated that she had not responded to this kiss, does that mean she does not like me.

'She sees me as her son I bet'. he thought Jack felt like crying or yelling torn by either one, but suddenly before he could leave Jack's mouth was encased with warmth.

Jack moaned and deepened the kiss craving the scent of her peppermint toothpaste as he flowed up with her and kissed her in mid air.Just merely kissing her lips was not enough, he had to touch her, had to feel her. He just had to be close her to feel her soft feathered body against his dead cold one.

Tooth wrapped her arms around his neck and Jack placed his hands around her waist making them hug each other tightly just like the spark that had formed after the battle of easter when she hugged him.

After that hug he knew he was a goner, she was just so beautiful, she was willing to risk her own existence to help get his memories back.

So, he risked his to return the teeth, and baby tooth back to her, and kicked Pitch's butt for attempting to rid the world of this kind gentle fairy.Who only wants to make sure that kids remember the fun memories then the scary and terrifying memories.

After a while they came up for air, both of them panting Jack placed his forehead against hers and said, "That...was fun, you are amazing Tooth".

Tooth blushed and playfully shoved him away and said, "Jack, do not joke like that".

Jack laughed as he hugged her tightly and said, "Its true, I'm being serious you are beautiful talented and you did not deserve to be hurt by Pitch ever again".

Tooth laughed and then looked at Jack seriously and said, "So, do you, if anyone deserves not to be hurt again it's you"...

She smiled at him a bit, enjoying the pure smile on his face as the words she said, meet his ears.

He did not say anything but the fact that his mischievous smile melted into a love struck one she must of said something right.

Jack mentioning Pitch made her think about what happened to him to make him go back and encourage Jamie to believe after what they did to him. "Speaking of Easter, Jack what really happened when you went to go put Sophie to bed, I know you did not mean to get your toothbox but, how did you end up with it"?

Jack rolled his eyes and sighed with annoyance and guilt thinking back to the time when he heard a strange voice and decided to go near it without a clear plan, he should have waited.

He should have dropped sophie off and told the guardian's what he had that have changed things?

" Can we talk about what happened later?". Jack suggested trying to dodge the subject, he could not avoid it forever, he had to tell someone eventually.

If he could tell anyone he would tell Tooth, he was not sure how she would react when she finds out about what Pitch did to him, and how he had to repair his staff.

Tooth nodded and said, "If that is what you truly want then, I guess I can let it slide, its just I feel bad for suspecting you back then it was not fair to you, we should have let you talk".

Jack looked down at the ground trying to think of a way to tell her, he wanted to tell her, he needed to tell her.

Tooth was the most important thing in the world to him now he would do anything for her, and he wanted to make sure she knew that.

He will tell her when he was ready. For now, he wanted to enjoy the warmth of her feathers against his cold body and feel the taste of her minty breath against his cool breath.She is the only one for him, no matter what others thought he was will always be there for her.

Tooth smiled and rested her head against his shoulder as they watched the sunset near the lake of the Tooth palace as the sun faded under the mountains .

Tooth glanced up at Jack one last time, his eyes were focused on the sky, with his beautiful blue eyes staring off into the distance.

" Jack, I - I love you". Tooth shuttered out, she had put her feelings down, exposed them and and let them hang in the air, now all she had to do was hear his response.

For a while Tooth was worried when she did not hear a answer, yes they were not dating, and sure they had only kissed a handful of times, she wanted a deep relationship with a man she truly trusted around her and her fairies and to her Jack was that man.

Tooth hoped he felt the same, she knew that underneath all that troublemaking bravado he put on he was lonely, socially awkward and had no clue about relationships.

That was okay, she did not have much experience either. They could learn together, if he was willing to be with something like her, then she was willing to accept the cold.

Jack chuckled as he looked down at her and rested his head against hers and then softly whispered in his deep sexy voice she could not help but love.

" I love you too, you have made my life memorable, I could not imagine it without you, I know that sounds cheesy but, I truly mean it ".

Tooth smiled not wanting words to spoil their moment together, she had been hiding these feelings for two years and it was nice to find out that Jack felt the same.

They stayed like that for a few hours until that until sun went down, once the moon was high and the stars were bright.

Tooth had guided Jack towards the living quarters, Jack teased her for calling a bedroom a bed chamber still. Making her blush with embarrassment her age showing through at random moments.

" Jack, you do not have to use the spare room if you do not want to, my bed is big enough for both of us".

Jack blushed and said, "No I do not trust myself with you quite yet, besides I have nightmares and I do not want to wake up with my screaming

Tooth looked at him with worry and concern, as she cupped her hands around his cheeks forcing him to look at her

" How long has this been going on Jack, how long have these nightmares been going for"?

Jack frowned and said," Since Easter, I had been starting to wonder if something like Pitch happens again, if you guys ever have to fight for your lives again, will you suspect me again, will it end up like Easter".

Tooth put her hands on his shoulders and said, "Jack I think you should stay with me tonight, I think it would be better that way, if the nightmares return you might need me, please do not push me away I want to help let me in".

Jack nodded and said, "Okay, I will try, I have just been so afraid of being hurt again. Ever since I have been reborn I have been ignored,pushed aside and judged."

Spirits have actually tried to beat me before and I still can remember there hateful stares it hurts a lot".

Tooth smiled and said, "I know, but as long as I'm around you will never have know the pain of loneliness again, I will help heal you Jack and in return I hope you heal me too".

So, when Tooth took Jack's hand and held his hand for the first time since Easter and guided Jack toward the bed, she could not help but notice how perfect their hands laced together.

"Tooth I really appreciate you helping me but did not have to I will be fine on my own". Jack insisted stubbornly trying to yank his hand away.

Jack was trying to keep calm but deep down he was a love struck mess. Tooth seemed to have that effect on him. He did not want to admit but, he was afraid.

Sure, they confessed but, Jack had seen a lot of couples interact over the past centuries he had lived he knew there was a lot of touching involved.

He was scared of all these new urges that stirred inside of him the desire to hold her,kiss her, smell her feathers and hug her tightly in his arms.

For as long as he could remember he has seen many different immortal beauties but none of them could make his heart beat rapidly in his chest just by brushing his hands against hers.

But, Tooth was different with Tooth he could be myself all the time without worrying about being judged or yelled at like North or Bunny.

What if Jack upset her? What if he came on too strong? He could lose her. What if she is tricking me or this is some cruel dream he had conquered inside his head.

As if reading the thoughts race through his mind by looking at his face.

Tooth glared at Jack and then squeezed his hand tightly and then hugged him and said, "Jack you do not have to be afraid I will not hurt you, you can trust me".

Jack smiled and said "Okay". Jack gulped nervously as he slowly placed his arms behind his back trying to keep himself from being too close.

Tooth layer down on the bed. The bed was huge about twice the size of a large king sized bed so there was a large gap between her and Jack.

Tooth rolled over towards the left side placing her hands under her head,her hands clasped together as she placed her head on the pillow.

Tooth tired to fall asleep but she couldn't. Tooth looked back at Jack and noticed how far apart they were.

Tooth could have just let him go back to his lake just as she had many times before. But, she didn't she had let him sleep on her bed beside her but that still was not enough.

Tooth like Jack is alone. Most nights she dreams of her childhood growing up as the princess of the mighty winged woman race with the sisters of flight.

Her parents met a cruel bloody death protecting her from the hunters when she became what she was today. She has nightmares too .

The mobs chasing her through the night, seeing the life fade from her parents eyes as she cried clutching their lifeless bodies as she held the pouch containing her baby teeth.

So,she thought if Jack was hers maybe she would be able to rest but having him so far away from her is almost worse feeling than being alone because she wants to reach out for him but he is too far away.

After a few minutes of awkward silence Tooth scoots closer to him and takes his hand so gently Jack jumps but then he turns his head and smiles warmly at her.

"Jack you do not have to be so far away you can be as close as you want I do not mind" Tooth said in her sweet delightful voice that got him every time.

"I know, I wanted to be near you so badly but I was not sure you wanted me too so I kept my distance". He said

Jack cuddled closer towards her wrapping his arms around her middle and placing his head above hers.

Tooth smiled as she felt his long arms wrapping around her midsection his cool breath so close that made her shiver with delight she could feel his heart beat against her back as he took in slow steady breaths.

"Good night Jack".

"Good night".
