Pictures
Summary: Sophie's room is filled with pictures, most of them of her and the Easter Bunny, all of them a little different. Jack didn't know that, though, until today, when Jamie dragged him into Sophie's room to show him the latest drawing...
Genre: Light Humor, I guess?

Jack had been, for what felt like eternity, staring at this thing, and he still didn't know what to make of it. When Jamie had told him that Sophie had drawn a picture, one of him, he had been ecstatic, especially when he figured out that meant he got to look at embarrasing pictures of the Easter Kangaroo. No kid had ever drawn a picture of him except for Jamie, and even though he liked those drawings, he couldn't hide that he wanted more solid proof that he had believers; even if Sophie decided to color him pink with purple polka-dots, he wouldn't have cared - he even told Jamie that. So when he flew into Sophie's room, and was actually surprised at what he saw there... he... he just couldn't function.
Jack spluttered a little bit, turning away from it and from Jamie's smirking face. He considered even pulling down his hood; h-he could feel his cheeks turning to icecubes! He just knew that his face was blue! He couldn't give Jamie the satisfaction of seeing that! Really, there was no way he could get out of this with all of his dignity; he couldn't even rip the paper off the wall...
He put on a mischevious smile of his own before turning back to Jamie, hoping his cheeks weren't covered in frost. "Huh. Pretty nice. Now, where's the one of you and Pippa?"
Jamie, who had been leaning on the doorframe, flinched, his face going red and his head flicking to the side. "Jack!"
Jack swung his staff over his shoulder, inspecting his fingernails while he bounced around the room(away from the picture), a smirk on his face. "What? I'm not saying anything. I'm just wondering if she's drawn a picture of you two yet. Maybe I should give her a suggestion...?"
Jamie crossed his arms against his chest. "Maybe I should copy that and send one to Bunny and North."
Jack jumped back in mock surprise, balancing his staff on his arm and closing his eyes so he could put both of his hands in front of him. His cheeks still felt cold. "Woah, woah, Jamie. Like I said, I'm not saying anything... but maybe I should make ice sculptures... pass them out to all the kids in your class?"
Jack opened his eyes, snapping his gaze over to look into Jamie's. Nobody moved, nobody blinked, it was just them... staring at eachother... daring the other to say something...
... they both burst out laughing before Jack slung his arm over Jamie's shoulders, drawing him close and pushing him lightly out of the doorway. They walked out into the hallway, both of them quieting down, falling into silence.
...
"Hey, Jack?"
"What?"
"If it really bothers you, I could always tell her to take it down. She wouldn't mind."
"Nah, let her keep it up; she probably worked hard on that, seeing how well she captured my handsome face."
...
"Hey, Jack?"
"Yeah, Jamie?"
"You know... phht... my mom always tells Sophie to draw what she sees..."
...
"Ah! Cold! Cold! There's no need to freeze me! It was just a drawing!"
...
Yeah... Jack thought for a second, nearly bursting out laughing at Jamie's frozen ears. Maybe it was just a drawing; really, it was just a stick figure anyway. A... stick figure that was colored light blue and had white, spiky hair... and was standing next to a green stick figure with wings... b-but that was completely innocent! Sophie just decided to draw Tooth next to Jack, that's all! Except... they were holding hands... but friends can hold hands too! This was just a drawing from a little girl! And it's not like it had... Oh, why did Man in Moon hate him? He could feel his cheeks getting cold again.
"Hey, Jack?"
"What, Jamie?!"
"Well, I just wanted to tell you... my favorite part of that drawing had to be the pink, squishy love-heart floating above- Ah! COLD! Alright, alright! I'll shut up!"
...
"Jack..."
...
"Your face is blue."

I'm such an evil person... I know this one is short, and the last half was mostly dialogue, but it was meant to be that way from the start. Did you guys like reading this as much as I liked writing it? 'Cause I'm grinning like an idiot over here; really, there's so many places I can go with this. Just by keeping that picture in Sophie's room, Jack's doomed himself. After all, who always goes and visits Sophie?
