Set after the movie

Snow and Memories

The snow, he thought to himself as he watched it dance and twirl, is cold, death, pain. But also fun, happiness, and… well, me. Jack Frost.

"Jack? Are you alright?" came the voice of Tooth, concern lacing her words. Almost instantly, Bunny, North, Sandy, and several of the yetis turned to face the fluttering faerie and hooded teen.

"Yeah, fine." Jack replied, revealing his trademark grin. However, for some reason, it didn't fully reach his eyes. Sure it crept up at the edges, trying to force its way through, but there was a certain hollow look in the center of them.

"You sure?" she questioned anxiously, violet orbs darting here and there. "You seem a bit… distracted. You know that you can talk to us if anything is going on, right?"

"Of course Tooth. But I'm okay." He said. "Promise!"

Tooth's eyes narrowed, suspicion lining them. She wasn't stupid, and Jack was showing the signs of nervousness and panic. He wouldn't meet any of their gazes, he kept glancing toward the windows and doors, and he was rushing the conversation. "Alright then… If you're sure." With that, she flew off to discuss the plans for that night's tooth collecting.

Jack sighed, an odd mixture of relief and disappointment flowing through him. The relief, he could understand. He'd gotten them to forget about the subject, and that's what he wanted. Right?

But then why did he feel so… upset about it? Surely he couldn't possibly be unhappy that they'd dropped it so quickly? Not after over three hundred years of loneliness, pain, and the sorrow of being ignored. He should be used to this, heck, he should have expected it! So why hadn't he? That's the question, wasn't it? Why hadn't he?

"Okay, we have some things to discuss. Seeing as Spring is coming, she's asked you to refrain from causing snowfall, alright Jack? Jack? Jack!" The white-haired boy looked up, startled, confusion shining in his icy blue eyes.

"Huh? Oh, sorry, you were saying?"

"Jack, we know something is wrong. Please, just tell us." Tooth pleaded. He started, having thought that they had all but forgotten about that. He began to smile his usual smile, but Tooth spoke before he could. "Oh no you don't! We've all seen that smile of yours! You only use it when you're trying to hide something! So what is it?"

"I… well, I was just thinking…" He spoke, nervously trying to convince them, but obviously they weren't going to have any of it.

Sandy formed a question mark above his head with Tooth nodding. "About..?" Bunny prompted.

"About… well, um… my…. Memories!" What did I just do? He asked himself franticly. He'd just exclaimed the first thing that came to mind. But why memories?

"Oh… Well, if you want to talk-"

"No." Jack interrupted, ignoring the slight guilt that surfaced inside of him. They were his memories after all. Right? Wait, what was he even talking, er, thinking, about? He hadn't really been thinking about his memories. It just came out.

"Okay… If you are sure." Said an uncertain North.

"I'm sure." He said with a certain finality. They all had strange looks on their faces, ones that he just couldn't place. Surely it couldn't be that big of a deal. Right?


Alright, I started out with the prompt of snow, but it stemmed into this, so now it has two prompts: Snow and Memories. I'm pretty sure that this will be an arc, but hey, that's up to you guys. If I don't get any feedback, I'll just go ahead and do as I like. So, yeah. Just please tell me if you like it or not, okay. I don't care all that much about reviews, but it's nice to know that people other than me like my writing. Heck, even I sometimes don't like it. So, yeah.
