Jack couldn't help but groan loudly as Rapunzel came back with another set of books; adding more to the ever growing piles already collected.
"Is this really how you want to spend your day," the silver haired teen complained, his blue eyes glaring at the piles of books with obvious distaste, the blonde haired teen across from his started giggling at the boy's expression. Tucking back a loose strand of long blonde hair behind her ear, the green eyed teen gave the boy a small smile before opening up a book that was closest to her.
"You don't have to stay, you know. I just thought it would be fun to read up on what others think of us, you know. I mean, who knows what they're creating nowadays. Plus, Merida always says that 'legends ring with truth'," Rapunzel couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably at her own poor imitation of the Scottish girl's distinctive accent. Soon, Jack was following suit and making his own imitations of the Scottish princess, both knowing that it was all in good fun and had no true meaning or harsh feelings.
"Jack, it's scary how similar you sound like her. If she heard you now, I bet Merida would try to beat you senseless." Jack couldn't help but grin mischievously towards the blonde teen, his head leaning against his always at hand wooden staff.
"Well, I know I'm not going to tell her about this. So that leaves only you to tell her. You're not going to rat me out are you?" Rapunzel grinned back at Jack, her eyes sparkling with mirth as she glanced up from her book.
"Maybe," the blonde teased before laughing uncontrollably once the blue hoodied teen jumped at her and started to tickle her senselessly.
"Alright alright, I promise I won't tell her," Rapunzel squeaked out, her breathing returning to normal as she continued to look back at the book at hand. The two were then silent; Rapunzel with her head in a book and Jack toying around with a snowflake in his hand. Suddenly that silence was broken once Rapunzel couldn't hold back her giggles, tears streaming down her face as she tried to regain her composure. Curious now, Jack inched closer and closer until he was peering at the book over the blonde's shoulder. With wide eyes, Jack stared at the picture before him aghast, the words Jack Frost titling the page in bold print.
"Whoa whoa whoa, hold up, that's suppose to be me." Rapunzel nodded in response, her shoulders still shaking with laughter as she looked back at the picture. The picture was an author's rendition of Jack Frost. With aged shoulders hunched closer together, this Jack Frost was old and near ancient with his long unruly white beard and wrinkled skin. He was dressed in a large white jacket made of thick animal skin, and his skin was tinted a bright cartoonish color of blue. The only thing in common between the two Jack Frosts was the exact same hook-like staff held in the right hand.
"Look at me! I'm so ancient looking! I look older than North, and he's been here a lot longer than me," Jack too started to crack up at the obviously off picture of himself. Calming herself down a bit, Rapunzel nodded before breaking out into a grin.
"At least your staff is the same," Rapunzel quipped before turning the page.
"Listen to this, they say you also go by Father Frost. Isn't that what they call North when he visits Russia?" Jack shrugged in response, now curious with the books spread out before them. Floating towards the piles and piles of books, Jack picked up a leather bound book marked The Brothers Grimm and opened up to the table of contents; popping out like a beacon, the title 'Rapunzel' caught Jack's attention almost instantly, which caused the winter spirit to grin widely before he turned towards the section that told Rapunzel's 'story'
"Hey Punzie, looks like I'm not the only one to have an interesting story. Did you know you were named after a vegetable." Dropping the book she was currently holding, Rapunzel scrambled over towards Jack and the leather bound book he was holding.
"No way! Lemme see, lemme see," Rapunzel said as she tried to get the book and look for herself. Jack laughed as he moved out of Rapunzel's reach, his eyes skimming the book and it's contents before his eyes widened in shock.
"Maybe you should avoid looking at some of the stuff about you. Not exactly child friendly." With puffed out cheeks, Rapunzel frowned slightly before managing to grab the book out of Jack's possession.
"I'm not a child, Jack. I might not be as old as you are, but I am not that young either," Rapunzel huffed before looking at the contents. Jack couldn't help but blush slightly, already connecting the dots. Looking up at the blonde, Jack couldn't help but shift nervously as he awaited the blonde's reaction to the reading material.
"Well?" Jack asked, already a bit impatient with the silence. Rapunzel shut the book slowly before making direct eye contact with the winter spirit.
"Are you trying to say I'm fat?" Rapunzel questioned, her face calm yet a small smile still touched the corner of her mouth. Jack sputtered in response, not expecting that to come out of the green eyed girl's mouth.
"Wait, what?"
"The book says that I tell mother that my clothes were starting to get tight, especially around the stomach area. I think I look fine, Jack. So what if I might have gained a few pounds," Rapunzel shrugged in response, earning a round of chuckles from the winter spirit.
"What are you laughing about, at least I still look almost the same, Mr. blue in the face," Rapunzel said before going into a round of giggles of her own.
"Yeah yeah, laugh it up, Punzie. What else did you manage to pick up?" Rapunzel started to perk up at the winter spirit's new found interest in the myths and legends that surrounded them.
"Oh oh, this one was super weird. They made a movie about you once, and you were some sort of serial killer snowman." The two continued to laugh at the whole silliness that some of the stories had, but couldn't help but continue to look through the material. Soon the two had managed to read up on everything they could get their hands on about themselves.
"Remind me to never let you convince me to do that ever again," Jack laughed out as the two got back onto their feet and started to return the books back to their former locations. Rapunzel giggled in response as she picked up another book to put in her return pile.
"It was fun though. Now we know what we're dealing with when other kids start seeing us," Rapunzel said optimistically. Jack nodded in response before going back to the task at hand.
"Hey, Punz. I bet I can put my half of the books away faster than you can!" Before Rapunzel could even open her mouth to protest, Jack had already started running with his arms filled with books, his laughter filling the air as he rushed over to the bookshelves.
"Hey, wait up!"
Jackunzel week prompt two. How was it? I'm still trying to get their personalities down, but it's so hard to do. I own nothing. Rise of the Guardians belong to dreamworks and whoever wrote the series. Tangled belongs to Disney. Leave me a thought before you go and thanks for stopping by. I also don't own the picture used as the cover, got it off google images, which may or may not be from tumblr.
