The three returned to Aster's home closer to the evening, upon entering they found North and Sandy keeping Aster company in the kitchen. The three had obviously been drinking heavily based on North's rosier than normal cheeks and Sandy's floating sideways. One of Aster's ear was drooped and he had a sort of goofy grin plastered on his face. The group let out a collective sigh as they took in the group of drunken men, "Why am I not shocked..." Tooth muttered. "Whenever you leave the jolly man alone this happens, why seem shocked?" Pitch snapped back. "So this is my fault?" she returned in a louder tone. The bickering brought them the attention of the men gathered around the table, "My love! You return! How'd it go?" North hollered out as he stood to go and embrace Tooth ignoring the glares her and Pitch had going between them like it was common. Sandy floated over as well and surrounded Pitch's face in his golden sands placing a gentle kiss to his lips calming the man almost instantly. "It went...well." Pitch offered up. This seemed to snap Aster from his daydream at the table and he rose immediately to his feet turning to the group by his door, barely able to make out Jack behind the group of his friends. "It did?" his voice came out softly, but it held a command behind it that left no room for anything but a yes or no. Tooth nodded, "It went very well." she answered giving Pitch a quick look and he also gave a nod. "Leave." Was the next word from his mouth, "NOW!" he said louder when they didn't vanish in a seconds notice from his house. North was kind enough to offer up a globe and the four ran through it fearing the rabbit's rage. Tooth mumbled a 'good luck' to Jack as she went.
Once the group had left and only the two remained Jack looked around the room, obviously uncomfortable with the current situation. "So, did you guys have fun?" he asked gesturing to the table with various liquor bottles thrown about and 3 shot glasses still sat. "It was fine, how about you? Did you have fun?" he asked in return, moving to stand just before the boy, trying to get him to look in his eyes. Jack was more interested in looking anywhere but at Aster as he continued to search the room for anything to talk about aside from where he feared this was going. "It was nice..." Jack replied quietly. "Oh? What did you talk about?" Aster questioned, finding the boys sudden shyness to be rather adorable. "uh...if you would like I could clear the table for you?" Jack tried distracting Aster only to fail as said man took his chin in hand and forced him to finally look him in the face. "Leave the table be Jack. Now just what did you all talk about?" Aster spoke in a tone both commanding and loving. Jack flushed before mumbling his reply, Aster would have none of it as he asked again this time with more force, "I did not hear you Jack, what did you talk about?"
"About you..." Jack said a bit louder this time. "All good I'd hope?" Aster asked, a hint of amusement in his voice. Nodding Jack tried to pull away only to end with Aster wrapping his free arm around him, pulling his body flush to his own. "Now, now. None of that Mate." At the word 'mate' Jack froze stiff a blush covering his cheek and ears, spreading down his neck, "mmm I wonder how far down that goes?" Aster said with a purr. "You know, don't you?" Jack accused. "Know what? I know nothing of what you spoke." Aster said, his smirk telling Jack the truth. "You suck, you know that right?" Jack said, upset but only to a certain point. "Only in the best of ways." Aster grinning leaned down and finally connecting his lips with someone he knew he could spend a lifetime with, hope for the future blooming in his chest when Jack returned the gesture with vigor his arms encircling the taller male around the neck.
