Jacks pov:
The entire ride back was spent in awkward silence. When the sports cat pulled up to the Onceler estate I got out and was greeted by an overly peppy Onceler with freshly baked cookies. His smile so soft and sweet it made my heart melt, and seemed to ease any emotional discomfort form the… hand job incident. I fallowed the Onceler back into the breakfast room while the Greedler retreated to his office saying that he had some important phone calls to make twirling the soiled arm as he left.
The onceler razed an eyebrow at me, "so… what's up with the arm?"
"We uh, found it in a truffula chopper" I said looking at the floor. I could feel my entire face flush as I fidgeted uncomfterbly and leaned against the table. I felt a hand on my sholder and looked up to see the caring and concerned face of the Onceler as he leaned swords me.
"It's ok, it must be hard knowing a child was hurt. Greed told me something about you being some sort of protector of children?"
As I looked into his eyes I could feel all of my conserves fade away as I became lost in the oceany depths. "Guardian, I'm one of the Guardians. The Guardian of fun to be precise" I said feeling myself lean into his touch.
"One of? Douse that mean there are more"
"Oh yah, there's me, North, but you might know him as Santa, Bunny, Tooth, and Sand Man"
"What are you saying that Santa and the Easter bunny are real? Aren't those just children's stores?" he said a disbelieving look on his face.
"That's exactly what I'm saying, yes" I said with a chuckle
"So you all belong to some sort of magic club of real life children's story's, if that's true who are you supposed to be"
"Jack Frost, you know king of winter"
"sooo you're supposed to be some sort of winter king with magic ice powers?" he said with a chuckle, clearly doubting everything I said as he pick up his guitar and sat in a chair lazily toning it. This made me smile. I was use to sceptisizem, especially from adults who as a rule of thumb don't believe in magic.
"What you don't believe me" I said pushing out my lower lip in an exaggerated pout.
At this he chuckled again, "I'll believe it when I see it" he said giving me a fond yet patronizing smile.
"Well then I guess I have no choice" I said, and I have no clue what came over me. Perhaps the fackt that I had been thinking about him for the past week, or how his lips looked so tauntingly perfect, but I found myself sauntering over to the Onceler, leaning down, cupping his chick in my hand, and kissing him. It took only a few agenizing heartbeats for the Onceler to return my kiss. It was nothing like the kisses I had shared with the Greedler. No this kiss was soft and sweet. It tasted like freshly baked cookies and everything that was right with the world.
As I pulled way his eyes slowly reopened then widened in shock as he looked around the room to see it was snowing, inside. His mouth hung open before he could articulate a meek, "how in the world did you…"
"Magic" I said simply.
