-Frostbite Week Day 2-
Official
"Sooooo… you and The Tooth Fairy?" The bright-eyed Jamie eagerly questioned Jack. He was perched on his bed with Jack on his dresser, staff in hand. He and Tooth had dropped by the boy's house for a visit after his parents had retired to bed for the night. They had been there for nearly two hours, exchanging stories and confirming the numerous myths Jamie rattled at them.
Jack laughed under his breath, sparing a glance out the window, where Tooth had excused herself to take the report from her fairies on the night's tooth harvest. He looked back to Jamie, who had obviously picked up on the vibe between the two that evening.
"What about us?" Although he knew exactly what he was getting at. Jamie wasn't discouraged by his evading the topic.
"You know! Is she your girlfriend?" He giddily teased, loving the feeling that he had the upper hand over Jack. Though he hated that specific term because it sounded so utterly human, he decided to confirm this myth too.
"Well, I guess you could say that. Actually just this morning we were talking about it and I asked her a few questions, and I dunno, I guess we became, uh, official." He happily confessed, albeit quietly as to not let the words grace her ears outside.
Jamie shook his head in content disbelief. "Wow. Jack Frost and the Tooth Fairy falling in love. Now THAT'S something they don't include in the storybooks." He mused smile his lopsided smile. Jack chuckled at the child's amusement.
"You don't say? Hm, I thought we'd've had our own series by now." He said, his words dripping with sarcasm.
"You're pretty lucky. Tooth's prettier than any of the girls at my school." He added. Jack nodded.
"Yea, Tooth's… Tooth's a pretty awesome gal." He responded, turning to look out the window where the oblivious Tooth was still chattering away to her fairies. Jamie caught the way he gazed at her and giggled to himself. It was quite a sight for him to see the carefree Jack Frost look so humbled as he admired the girl outside.
But suddenly she turned and darted back into the room, catching Jack's stare as she did so, but ignored it.
"Well, Jack, what do you say we stop annoying this poor boy and let him get some sleep?" he suggested. Jamie's face fell at the thought of their departure.
"Aww, you guys don't have to go yet!" He nearly whined, but with good nature.
"Aw, but sweetie, you have school tomorrow! We'll be back soon, I promise." She comforted him as she turned down his comforter for him to get under.
"She's right. G'night, kid. Thanks for letting us hang around here." Jack said. As per their new tradition, Jamie launched forward and hugged him around the waist before crawling under his sheets.
"See ya Jack! If you're bored tomorrow you could give us a snow day! Y'know, if you want." Jack chuckled.
"In May? That may be pushing it." He chided.
"Well, it wouldn't be the first time!" Jack put a hand on the windowsill, ready to depart, but turned to see Tooth bear him her farewell.
"Alright, goodnight Jamie. Sleep well." Tooth cooed as she tucked him in and kissed his cheek before turning to follow Jack. Only Jamie saw the way Jack's grin suddenly faltered.
"G-goodnight guys. Thanks for visiting! And, uh, good luck!" He shouted at them with his youthful innocence before they flew to his rooftop.
"Well, that certainly was fun!" Tooth happily exclaimed when they landed. It suddenly came to her mind that this was their first time being alone together since this morning.
"I'll say. And a little exhausting." He agreed and took a few steps closer to her form. She examined his facial expression and tone for a moment.
"Hey, what's the moony look for?" She asked gently, although she knew nothing serious was at hand.
"Hmm? Oh, nothing. Just… well, a little envious of Jamie, I'll admit." He said with quiet confidence.
She almost asked him what he meant before she realized what she had done in the process of tucking him in, and just what Jack was referencing. So with a lightweight smile she drifted closer and put her palms on the tops of his shoulders, bestowing a long, lingering kiss on his cheek. He arms wound up on her waist and she could feel the skin on his face tighten under her lips when he smiled so broadly. She pulled back just far enough to see him, ending the kiss with a comical sound effect. He smiled back at her and put his forehead to hers.
"Plenty more where that came from." She whispered.
"Good to know." He replied. They remained in one another's arms for a few moments, whispering sentimental things and swaying oh so slightly.
"Well, the night is still young. What do you suggest we do with it?" She asked after a few minutes, leaving his embrace and taking to the air above her. He joined her.
"Hmm, how about a race to New York? I hear it's lovely this time of year." He answered.
"Ooh, a little friendly competition sounds great." She said flirtatiously. He flashed her favorite grin at her.
"Well then," He caught her waist with the crook of his staff and pulled her closer to peck her forehead. "You're on." And he was gone into the wind, leaving chilled air in his path. She laughed and darted after him.
Though they had been a couple all but in name until today, the validity of the relationship sure seemed to open few doors.
Sorry if Jamie is a tad OOC. I haven't had the opportunity to write him much yet, although I'd love to because he's adorable and I just want to raise him myself he's so precious ughh
