"Jack! Wake up!" I could hear the kangaroo yell at me. Realization struck me, I wasn't with pitch... It was just a dream. "Finally! I have been trying to wake you up for the last five minuets." I laughed. "What? I was sleeping, I'm not gonna wake up just for you." Bunny smirked "yeah, well north wants to talk to us about something." I sighed getting up. I knew becoming a guardian would mean less time with Jamie and his friends, and having actual free time, or fun... Unless I caused it. Walking to the meeting room tooth and sandy were already there, waiting on me and bunny. North was standing in the doorway, waiting for me and bunny. "Finally! You came!" North said happily, leading me to a chair next to tooth "ok, to the news." North said seriously "man in moon says pitch is back. Again." Tooth gasped "but he's only been gone a year!" A little bit of hope arose inside of me, pitch is back. "Yes, but he's very weak, he's not danger to us... Yet." I smiled inside. I need to sneak out tonight
*Le time skip 'cause I'm a lazy ass bitch*
Pitch was out. Which means I can try to see him tonight. After everyone went home and north went to bed I snuck outside through the window in my bedroom and had the wind take me home, to burgess. I arrived at the edge of the pond and went searching for the patch of dead earth. When I found it I walked over to the buried hole to find it still covered with dirt. "So much for those hopes." I said sadly, hearing rustling coming from behind me. "What hopes, frost?" Pitch, it's pitch! My mind screamed at me.
I whirled around to see none other than pitch, looking weaker than before. "I said what hopes frost?"
"Nothing. Forget what I said." I replied trying to scoot off. "Oh? Why?" He said curiously "Because..."
"Jack, what's wrong?"
"Why are you so concerned!?" I hissed back at him. "Jack..."
"Why?"
"Nothing frost!" He growled disappearing into the shadows.
We'll great, first time in a year I see pitch and I fuck up. You can always go find him and try again, idiot. My head told me. So it was decided. I'm going to try to find him, and that probably won't be easy. "Pitch?" I said walking around. I heard a chuckle come from the left of me. So it's going to this kind of game. "Pitch~, come out, come out~" I said searching for him. I searched for about an hour in the area an pretty much gave up, falling asleep I the circle of dead earth.
*you guessed it! time skip~*
The next morning I woke up feeling a lot more comfortable than before. After thinking and retracing my steps from yesterday I looked around to find myself in pitch's lair. In his bed. With my clothes removed. "I was wondering how long you were going to sleep." I heard pitch say chuckling. "W-where are my clothes?" I said blushing furiously "oh, those. They're over there." He said calmly, pointing to the foot of the bed. He walked out of the room leaving the door open. I dressed quickly, searching for my staff.
Pitch came back in the room holding a sandwich in his mouth with a plate in on hand and my staff in the other. Setting my staff against the wall, he took the sandwich out of this mouth "want one?" He asked gesturing to the plate. "Y-yeah, sure, a-and I want my staff too.." Taking one of the sandwiches and my staff I asked "so why are being so nice to me? I mean, no nightmares, no trying to kill me and you're.. Feeding me?"
Pitch stared at me suddenly becoming shy. "w-well I just thought we c-could be friends. B-but only we would know about it, not the others..." I smiled "ok! We can be secret friends! Sounds like fun!" I said childishly, jumping up and hugging him. "Um...jack?"
"What? It's what friends do, they hug each other, silly!" Pitch chuckled. "I know that, but when i meant friends...I..I meant m-more than friends..." I paused, grinning, though pitch couldn't see that. "I'd understand if you just wanted to be friends..." This is what I wanted. To be his special someone. "Really?" I asked with hope In my voice. Pitch smiled a bit, blushing. "Y-yeah. So, w-will you be mine?" I hugged him tighter "of course, pitch!" Pitch pulled me off of him bringing me into a deep passionate kiss, hugging me. "I love you." He murmured. I giggled, I was so happy "I love you too, pitch."
"So. Pitch, how is this gonna work? I mean, north is kinda forcing me to stay with him at the pole." Pitch laced our hands together "well can't you just tell him you want to be over here?" I thought about it replying "how about this. I'm out all day and night most of the time, which means I can get north to think I'm out and about, when really I'm here with you~" I smiled at my plan " ok, jack. But what about right now?" I chuckled "well right now I'm out and about, pitch" he smiled "well then, what do you want to do?" I giggled saying "gee I don't know, pitch" before taking my staff and running off. I could hear pitch laugh from behind me. "You're it!" I shouted trying to find an exit. Running through the hallways I found an opening with light coming through. Laughing I flew myself out of the cave entrance and found a hiding spot. He'll never find me here I thought to myself "boo." I heard pitch say from behind me. "Awe, man! I thought you'd never find me here!" I whined playfully. "Well, you did pick somewhere out of bounds. But it isn't hard to find you if you're going to pick such a memorable place like this." Pitch said gesturing towards the giant ice sculpture next to us shimmering with particles of black sand. Bringing me into a tight embrace from behind "I love you...babe." Pitch said lovingly. I blushed replying "I-I love you too, pitch." He chuckled "no need to be shy, jack." I giggled shyly, gasping in surprise when pitch nuzzled his face in my hair playfully nipping my earlobe. I blushed a deep scarlet red "p-pitch!" He chuckled. "What? It's not like anyone's watching." I leaned into him enjoying the silence with pitch
"Jack?"
"Hmm?"
"You're not still mad about this.. Right?" Pitch suddenly asked me quietly, still holding on to me. "No! Of course not, pitch!" I stated turning around kissing him briefly.
"Why would you ever think that, silly?"
"I-I just can't believe I did that to you.. I just feel so guilty about it now. No, I felt guilty as soon as I did it. I-I'm just r-really sorry, jac-" that was all pitch could say before he started crying. "Pitch! No, don't cry! Hey, I'm not mad at you, I swear! I love you, and it was kinda.. Kinda my fault too for being an idiot and not seeing that you were confessing your love to me." I said smiling up at him. Standing on my tiptoes kissing pitch "stop crying? For me? ...please?" Pitch wiped his eyes smiling like a child "o-ok jack, see *hick* I'm not *hick* crying anymore *hick*" I chuckled "yeah, but now you've got to calm down. you're giving yourself hiccups." Pitch chuckled "ok *hick* jack." I smiled pecking his lips "you wanna go home?" Pitch shook his head yes.
We went through the shadows home and when we were back pitch tackled me to the ground "guess what?" He asked in an obviously better mood "what?" I said smiling lopsidedly "where are you ticklish at?" I froze "I'm not telling you." Pitch smirked "oh really? Well then are you ticklish.. Here?" He asked tickling my neck, when I didn't laugh he asked again "are you ticklish here?" Ever so slowly running his hands down the sides of my hoodie moving his hands under it creeping slowly back up tickling my sides, I burst out with laughter. "So it's here, huh" pitch tickled me non-stop. I was pleading for him to stop but he was merciless "p-pitch! I'm gonna, hahaha, pee my pants!" I said laughing so hard I was crying. He finally let me go "but jaaack!" I chuckled mocking him "but piiitch!" He huffed, pouting "hey, jack? Will you stay tonight?" I smiled warmly "of course I'll stay." Pitch hugged me kissing me. It was late and we were both tired so pitch lead me to the bedroom, where I woke this morning. I was a little nervous, walking over to the bed I removed my hoodie and climbed into the bed. Pitch followed, removing his shoes, robe and pants. Leaving me to stare at him in just his boxers. Pitch made eye contact with me and we had a awkward stare for a minuet before he broke the awkward silence "w-what?" I blushed furiously looking away "n-nothing, it's just t-that you look... Hot..." Pitch walked awkwardly over to the bed getting in and warping his arms around me. I cuddled close to him saying "I love you, pitch." Before yawning, dosing off I could hear pitch chuckle "I love you too, jack." Pulling me close to him. We both fell asleep pretty quick.
