Previously in the Guardians' Guardian

You turn invisible, causing another gasp to ring from your captive audience. Turning to run past Jack, you whisper as you pass him "Catch me if you can, Ice boy." And dart into the maze of hallways.

~Part 7~

You are currently hiding in the shadows of a pillar, somewhere deep within the bowels of the Workshop. You can hear Jack flying around, his mischeivous voice bouncing off the walls and down the halls (ha! Dem rhymes! Alright, author will shut up.) The sound of the other Guardians isn't as loud, yet just as enthusiastic. They probably made this into a contest... I am soo gonna win.

"(f/n)... Come out come out wherever you are..." Aaand cue the handsome flying popsicle. Jack's voice sounds close, too close for comfort. You quickly melt into the shadows, turning invisible (you'd turned visible earlier after disappearing down the hall). Peeking hesitantly around the pillar, you see that he was darting down the hall towards you, checking all the tables and shadows as he went. Moving swiftly, you dart from your hiding place and into a room on your left. Your foot scuffs the ground, an alarmingly loud scratching sound resonating throughout the mostly lonely hallway. Shitshitshit. He looks immediately to where you are, a smile forming on his face. You enter the room, Jack hot on your trail.

The room you'd entered was abandoned, dust covering everything. Toys laid around the room, dilapidated and faded from the passing of time. The darkness of the room gives you an advantage, no shadows quickly dive upward, your hands grabbing an exposed beam hanging above you, and swing yourself up. Grinning devilishly, a gloriously devious plan forms in your head. You dangle your legs just over the edge of the beam, right at the perfect height. Jack comes gliding into the room, a confident smirk on his face- only to have it wiped off as he runs into your invisible dangling feet and falls back. His face was just too priceless, you couldn't help it. You let out a guffaw, doubling over with laughter; only to lean forward too far, fall, and land sprawled on top of Jack. Your shock causes you to turn visible, and a bright red blush to cover your face. Jack reaches up and around you, trapping you to his chest. Why can't I stay hidden? I'm not very good at this 'secret' stuff. He smirks at you, enjoying the redness of your (s/c) cheeks.

"Caught you," he whispers, staring into your (e/c) eyes. You gulp. I wonder how Mim will kill me? He doesn't seem like the merciful type if you get him angry. Its the calm and quiet ones that are the most dangerous. "You know, that was probably the best game of Hide-and-Seek I've ever played. We should do it again sometime." He grins slyly, gripping you tighter.

"W-w-what m-makes you think," you stutter, not yet comfortable with the close proximity, "t-that there'll be a next time?" He leans closer to your face, your noses brushing.

"'Cause I'm never gonna let you go, now that I've finally caught you." That's it, I am going to melt into a bright red puddle and never be able to tell Mim it wasn't my fault. You notice his eyes flicker to your lips, his head moving even closer. Ah, fuck Mim. I just can't take it anymore. With this, you lean closer, bridging the gap between you and Jack. Your lips brush, a subtle electricity running through your veins, causing you to shiver. Jack brushes you lips again, delighting in the shakes he brings forth. He teases you, looking deep into your (e/c) eyes and hovering just a hair's breadth from your lips. You stare back, unable to think. Just as you were about to crush him to you...

You were whisked away to an all too familiar whiteness.

Aaaaaaaaah, SHIT.
