Heart of Ice

Chapter 2: Being Normal….as much as possible
A/N: HELLO! Back for more I see! Thanks for the love, each and every one of you! Now, kick back and fangirl! (or fanboy ;D) Sorry for the long wait, I've been busy with life (I have one) but, hey here's the chapter, now enjoy!
When they arrived home after a bit more flying, Logan had fallen asleep. Chuckling, Jack set him in bed and tucked him in. He watched him for a while. His mouth was slightly open and his orange bangs were slightly covered in snow.
He looked like a slightly frosty angel
Jack walked out and took off his jacket and plopped in the couch. Slowly, his eyes gently drifted to sleep.
BEEP BEEP!
Jack snapped awake to find Logan in the kitchen nearby, taking out a mug of chocolate from the microwave.
"Hey" he greeted, striding to Logan and hugging him from the back.
"Sorry I woke you up. Couldn't sleep." said Logan.
"It's fine" said Jack, his lips just barely making contact with Logan's pink cheek.
"Wonder what's on" stammered Logan, heading over to the couch, followed by Jack. Relationship or not, he was still shy as hell, and a shirtless Jack was making him rather uneasy.
The TV had nothing good, so he settled on SpongeBob.
"That starfish is worse that the elves" said Jack after a few minutes into the episode.
"He is pretty dumb" agreed Logan, as his head resting on Jack's bare torso. For a skinny boy, he sure was fit…making frost and snow must be a work-out, though Logan, feeling his faint abs in the back of his head and noticing his biceps.
"Why do you like me?" questioned Logan suddenly.
Jack looked at him.
"Your smile. Your eyes. Your personality. Especially the hair"
Logan laughed.
"What do you like about me?" asked Jack.
"You…give me a rush. It's like you make me scared and nervous but also happy and like I could do anything" answered Logan.
"I'm glad. Because when you're with me, you'll never be bored ever." smirked Jack, wrapping his arms around his flustered boyfriend.
"Thanks" he smiled.
Sipping on the chocolate, he felt a hot drop fall on Jack's skin. It froze to a dull brown teardrop shaped icicle and fell off.
"You want some?" offered Logan, holding up the chocolate.
Lowering his lips, the winter spirit took a brief sip.
"Tasty. You try it" he growled as the cup froze from contact with his lips.
Setting the cup in the coffee table, Jack's lips attacked Logan's. Polar opposite temperatures met, colliding and moving in perfect sync and tasting like chocolate. Jack gently pushed down Logan and laid on him, his small figure dominated by the taller boy. Again, he resumed the kiss, feeling his lover's heat try in vain to combat his frosty mouth but to no avail. Jack's tongue pressed against Logan's lips and the other boy allowed him entrance. As the kiss began to become more lustful, Jack suddenly bit Logan's lower lip, causing him to yelp and blood began to leak out, only to have Jack lap it up. It didn't really hurt as numbing cold quickly caused him to forget the love-induced cut.
"Mine" he said just before he adjusted himself and cuddled with Logan until blissful sleep took them.
BUZZ BUZZ!
Logan suddenly yelled and ripped himself free of Jack, alarmed.
"Crap, it's time for school!" he yelled. Lucky his phone had been under his back and alerted he had about 45 minutes to get ready, despite it taking usually an hour with his laziness.
"Wuzzgoingon" grumbled Jack, his voice cracky from sleep and lack of use.
"Come on, get up!" warned Logan.
"5 more minutes"
"Ugh, I'll be in the shower. When I get out, I'll lend you some of my clothes and we can go to school." said Logan.
After a hot shower (he wasn't fond of the freezing chill Jack had given him), he snatched his brown shirt and some jeans and his bulky yet warming green coat. After snatching some stuff for Jack, he also took out one of his old bags and put a binder, notebook and a couple of pencils for him.
"Jack! Come up here, you have to get dressed!" hollered Logan. A few minutes later, Jack walked in, yawning.
"What's that?" asked the spreader of snow.
"Your temporary clothes." said Logan. It was plain light blue t-shirt, black jeans and white sneakers, along with a navy blue jacket and his new book bag, a drawstring bag with a picture of NASA on it.
"Wait hold on" said Logan. Blushing slightly, he took out some boxers and socks.
"Um…here" said the boy, handing over the undergarments.
"Barely a day and I'm already wearing your underwear?" snickered Jack.
"Shush" said Logan, about to leave
"Aw…don't you want to see me change?" winked the spirit, causing Logan to go bright scarlet and flee.
In his new clothes, Jack looked completely different and even….normal. Save for the snow-white locks and unnaturally bright blue eyes.
"Wow" gaped Logan.
"Come on, boyfriend" said Jack. Suddenly he stopped.
"Hold on a second" Jack closed his eyes and a blue glow emitted from him.
"What was that?" questioned Logan.
"Now everyone can see me" explained Jack as they left the door.
Logan felt himself blush hard at the bus stop.
"Ok, let's go" urged Logan, tugging at Jack's arm as the yellow bus' doors opened. All the girls immediately began to join in small groups as Jack passed them, oblivious of what his presence was causing. Some of the boys stared, shocked at his white hair.
"God, someone just kill me" begged Logan silently.
The entire bus ride, he felt Jack keep ask him questions. It was endearingly cute, but it was like a flood he couldn't contain.
"Are we there yet?"
"Yup. Just about there. Hey, once we get there, you stick to me because they have no idea you're new here and-"
"Um…don't be mad at me but…the school knows I'm coming." said Jack.
"How?" asked Logan.
"Well, I wanted to come here and for some reason, North, Santa for you, agreed. He said I should stay with you until summer. He took care of everything. I'm Jack Fields now" said the Guardian sheepishly.
"And you're aware that my parents are going to return by Christmas morning right?" asked Logan.
"North already put a charm on them. They'll think I'm the son of an old friend of theirs and are letting me stay while my "parents" are in Africa researching a cure for cancer for Tasmanian Devils" said Jack smoothly.
"This just reeks of disaster you know that" replied Logan.
"Come on, love conquers all" muttered Jack
"When did you become a romantic fool?" asked Logan
"Hum…I don't remember…enlighten me, when did we first meet again?" replied Jack.
Logan giggled as the bus screeched to a stop.
"We're here" he said, slightly sad.
"Class, this is a new student…Jack Fields" said Miss York, pointing at Jack.
"Hi!" waved Jack.
All the girls in the class erupted in breathless sighs, easily charmed. Luna was too busy ogling Alexander as he slept to care however.
"Mr. Fields...you can take a seat in the back, between Mr. Matthews and Miss. Robinson"
Both Luna and Logan raised their hands, Logan with a small hint of a smile. However, if Miss York saw she would most likely change him.
"These shoes and socks are killing me, can I take them off?" asked Jack.
"Being barefoot isn't allowed, sorry. By the way, that's Luna and that's her boyfriend, Alexander" said Logan, introducing his friends.
"Where's Alexander?" asked Jack.
"The sleeping guy right there. Nice to meet you" said Luna, greeting Jack.
"You too."
"You're too cute…you better stick with me. The girls will label you as "weirdo" and not try to kill you" said Luna.
"Hehehe, I'm already in a relationship, so I'll just say I'm taken."
"Ooooh, who's the lucky girl?"
"Lucky boy…umm…" Jack looked at Logan. He nodded, hiding behind his bag just as Jack said
"Lucky boy. That boy being Logan." whispered Jack into Luna's ear.
It took 3 seconds before Luna squealed so loud Miss York looked up.
"THAT IS SO ADORABLE!" she said, squealing like a maniac.
"Oh dear god help me" prayed Logan.
"Miss Robinson!" snapped Miss York.
"Sorry" said Luna.
"On with today's lessons…" continued York.
Through some unknown way, (Logan suspected magic at work or just plain luck), Jack mysteriously ended up in most of his classes, save for the last one. Jack made it rather hard for him at gym.
"Want to kiss behind the bleachers?" asked Jack in a whisper.
"You're kidding right?" asked Logan, nearly face palming at the suggestion. Cocking an eyebrow and giving Logan his signature grin, Jack ran off. Logan watched as his boyfriend sneakily used his flying ability to leap slightly higher than the other kids.
"Hey Matthews, you wanna join?" questioned Luke, one of the boys there.
"Uh…."
"Of course he will!" laughed Jack, grabbing him and pulling him in.
By the end of the period, Logan was standing in a field of whimpering and moaning bodies along with a shell-shocked Jack.
"What did you do to them?" asked Jack.
"I'm really accident prone." responded Logan, sweat-dropping massively.
"This shocks even me…" said Jack.
"Matthews, have you been to some sort of military facility to train?" asked Coach Lenore.
"No."
"Consider it"
Back home, Jack donned his regular clothes and once again became invisible to everyone.
"Ok, time to brew up a blizzard" he said, spinning his staff. Watching him from distance, he watched as Jack flew in the air and be to spin his staff even more quickly until it was blur of glowing blue and wood. Blue energy shot out and hit the clouds, condensing rain to snow. Wind began to howl, whipping Jack's silvery hair and pelting the earth with frost. Above, the white clouds became dark grey and began to unleash chunks of snow everywhere. Satisfied, Logan watched as the winter spirit unleashed the full force of his power. After a few minutes, Jack descended from above.
"How's that?" asked Jack, slightly breathless.
"Perfect. Like you" replied Logan, kissing Jack.
"A few days till Christmas" said Jack thoughtfully.
"Yup. Now that we've got the blizzard blocking the school, we're all alone you know" muttered Jack, embracing Logan.
"Plenty of time for that, Refrigerator Boy." said Logan, getting up from the couch.
"Want to watch a movie?" he asked.
"I do NOT kill people" grumbled the spirit, watching a cheesy snow man attempt to murder a man.
"Like they know how you really look like" laughed Logan.
"Should have made the Vikings draw pictures of me…" said Jack.
"You're a little late for that" giggled his boyfriend.
"Yeah…way overdue." agreed Logan.
