A quick Rainbow Snowcone drabble I did a few weeks ago for an anon request on tumblr. I didn't think it warranted its own oneshot, so I figured I would add it here. XD
The battle had been long and hard. Jack knew it would be a while before they were all fully recovered. It would probably be a few days before he felt himself again. And he didn't know how long it would take for Bunny's broken leg to heal. Though the yeti's said it should recover just fine, with plenty of time for him to prepare for Easter.
But Pitch and his allies had been beaten back. They had succeeded, and they would have time to recover.
Jack had gone to the North Pole with the others, wanting to make sure Bunny would be okay. Though his heart had been at Tooth Palace, where Tooth had insisted on going to check on her fairies before getting her own rest. She wished Bunny the best, but said she didn't have the energy to go to the pole before she went home.
Jack hadn't had an excuse to go with her without being teased by Sandy and North.
But as soon as he was sure his friends were okay, he flew to Punjam Hy Loo to check on the queen of the tooth fairy armies.
As he arrived on the north wind, Baby Tooth flew up to greet him, chattering excitedly.
"Hey, Baby Tooth," he grinned, letting her nuzzle his neck. "Where's Tooth?"
She led him to the top of one of the tallest spire. There was no door, only golden arches draped with dark pink chiffon curtains swaying in the little fairy flew through one of the curtains, but Jack pulled up to a stop, realizing he was outside Tooth's personal quarters. It wasn't exactly a place he could go barging in.
After a moment Baby Tooth flew back out, looking at him in a way that clearly asked why he hadn't followed her in. She chirped what what probably a "keep up!" before flying back through the curtain.
He pushed the curtain aside careful as the wind carried him through the archway and set him on the cool stone floor. Glancing around, he saw the bed on one side of the circular room, and a grin tugged at the corners of his mouth as he saw Toothiana curled up on top of the thin blankets, fast asleep.
His grin grew, frost spreading across the floor every time he took closer to her.
When he reached the edge of the bed, he ran a hand carefully over her plumage, smoothing the feathers into place. She smiled her her sleep, curling into a tighter ball.
Jack leaned down and kiss her pink eyelids. He felt her lashes flutter against his chin, but she didn't wake up.
"Sleep well, Tooth," he whispered.
