Jack stared at one of the only people he could have ever called a "best friends" glaring daggers into him. "I need to talk to her, Aster." Jack practically demanded as he felt Aster only grow angrier.

"She don't want to talk to ya, Frost," Aster growled, "and I will not allow ya to interfere with Tooth's or Annita's life, not again." Aster said his emerald eyes still digging holes into Jack's body.

"This isn't any of your business, Aster," Jack spat, "this is between me and Toothiana." Jack said puffing up his chest.

"Don't make me laugh, Frost." Aster chuckled coldly. "It became my problem the day Toothiana called me crying, it became my business when I went to every single one of Toothiana's ultrasounds, it became my business when I was there on the day Annita was born," Aster said his body beginning to finally relax, "this is more my business than you'll ever know, Jack." Aster continued as he ran his fingers through his blue-grey hair.

"I," Jack began feeling guilt raise within him, "I didn't know." Jack muttered out feeling the air around him and Aster grow cold. Aster sighed as he huffed and began to turn back towards the parking lot. "Aster wait." Jack called out following him.

"What is it ya want, Frost?" Aster asked turning to him, "I'm not givin' ya any of Tooth's information so you might as well get outta here and not come back." Aster sighed as he stuffed his hands into his suit pants.

"I know I don't deserve her information but," Jack began as he stood in front of his old friend, "can I at least talk to you, please Aster." Jack pleaded once again. Aster rolled his eyes as he began to walk away from Jack before signaling him to follow. Jack tried to hide his happiness as he followed him to the parking lot. Aster stopped in front of a grey car that looked expansive and leaned on it before shrugging off his suit jacket, "Ya just gonna stand there and stare at me all night or are ya gonna ask me whatcha need to?" Aster asked as he folded his suit jacket.

"Uh, well I thought we'd head out to a bar or something?" Jack asked as he nervously put his arm behind his neck.

"I only drink with friends, Frost," Aster said coldly as he looked up towards the moon, "but I know a place we can go and talk if you want." Aster said as he turned back to Jack.

"As long as you promise not to murder me." Jack chuckled trying to hide how scared he really was.

"No promises," Aster chuckled coldly before opening his car, "do ya have your own ride or do ya want me to give ya one?" Aster asked as he walked to the front of his car.

"You'd give me a ride?" Jack asked in disbelief.

"Why not," Aster answered as he opened his car door, "I punched ya pretty hard back there." Aster chuckled before he looked back up at Jack, "So are ya hopping in or do I have to give ya the address?" Aster questioned leaning on his car slightly.

"I'll take you up on your offer." Jack said as he opened the car door and got in. They drove for about twenty minutes with only the sound of the radio filling the car. Finally, Aster parked and got out of the car, Jack nervously followed behind him. Aster opened the door to an unfamiliar restaurant which surprised Jack because he didn't know restaurants were open at 1 in the morning. "Aster!" the hostess cheered as he walked into the restaurant.

"How are ya, darlin'?" Aster asked the hostess before giving her a hug.

"I'm fine, Aster," the orange haired hostess giggled as she let him go, "Is something up?" she asked looking over Aster's shoulder to see Jack.

"Yeah, send a beer and a cold soda to my usual table alright, Anna?" he asked.

"Yeah sure, Aster, I'll let Kristoff know you're here." Anna said happily as she let Aster walked past her but she swiftly stopped Jack, "You really messed up didn't you, dude?" Anna muttered into Jack's ear before letting him walk past her. Jack was sure he was going to have a heart attack by the end of the night. He followed Aster to the back of the restaurant where he sat down in the seat furthest from all the others. Jack sat down in front of Aster who pulled out his phone and began to send a text message. The air around Jack and Aster was tense, to say the least, but Jack wasn't sure if he should get up and run or talk with Aster. Aster put his phone down and stared at Jack for a while before sighing and running his fingers through his hair. Anna suddenly arrived and place the beer in front of Jack and the cold soda in front of Aster, "So what will be his last meal, Aster?" Anna asked jokingly ready to write down his order.

"He'll have a chicken sandwich and I'll have the usual," Aster said happily giving Anna a small smirk, "Thanks darlin'." Aster chuckled as he turned to Jack once again.

"You got it, Aster," Anna giggled as she walked away from them.

"So, you come here a lot?" Jack asked gripping his beer trying to avoid Aster's gaze.

"I do a lot of my business here," Aster shrugged before taking a drink of his soda, "you wanted to talk, right?" Aster asked as he put his cup down.

"Yeah," Jack began as he stared down at his beer, "I, uh, I know you probably hate me." Jack said as he looked up at Aster.

"I never really liked ya much, frostbite." Aster laughed almost spitting out his drink in the process, "Is that what ya want to talk about, me hatin' ya?" Aster asked still chuckling slightly.

"No," Jack scoffed as he brought his beer to his lips and took a drink, "I want to talk about Toothiana but I want to ease into it."

"There's no need for that," Aster said as he turned away from Jack, "I have no time to beat around the bush, just say what ya need to say." Aster said as he stared into the distance.

"I want to talk to her," Jack admitted, "I want to be able to be there for Annita, she deserves her father." Jack muttered as he tried to decipher what Aster expression meant.

"She doesn't deserve scum like you, Frost." Aster maintained still not looking at Jack, "Ya walked out of Tooth's life at a time she needed you most and now that all the hard stuff is over ya want back in?" Aster accused finally turning back to Jack, "Don't make me fuckin' laugh." Aster chuckled coldly.

"Shouldn't it be Tooth's decision if I get to talk to her?" Jack asked still trying to get back on Aster's good side, "She's an adult, she can make her own decisions."

"Ya have a point there, Frost." Aster admitted before taking a quick drink of his soda, "I really don't have a say in whether Tooth talks to you or not," Aster continued, "So why are you talkin' to me?" Aster questioned.

"I can only get her information from you, Aster." Jack said his voice laced traces of frustration, "Can you please give me a way to contact her?" Jack begged feeling the last bit of his composure wearing thin.

"No," Aster simply said as he checked his phone, "If she wants to contact you, she will." Aster suddenly stood up and pulled out his wallet and placed money down on the table. "I would stay here and eat the sandwich if I was you, Frost, I hear it's delicious." Aster suggested as he began to walk away from the restaurant. He passed Anna on the way out and mumbled something in her ear then waved goodbye to someone before walking out. Anna turned to Jack and gave him an odd look before walking into the kitchen. Jack sighed to himself as he wrapped his hand around his cup and took another drink.
