(I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE EXISTING CHARACTER EXCEPT MY OWN AND THIS STORY! I tried to make this chapter a bit longer this time. They should start getting steadily longer from now on. And there WILL be a few twists tossed in that will make you repeat the sentence just to make sure you heard it right. Though, the shorter chapters are easier to leave with cliff-hangers. What do you think? Should I keep my cliffies or should I just get the hell on with the story. And Remember that the story is M-Rated for a reason. The Fluff will get stronger! Remember! Don't be afraid to review or PM me. I'm open to opinions and suggestions. OH YEAH! If someone does fanart of Fay with Jack or Cupid or any of my future characters, I will post it up on my page with a character description. If I like it anyway. Can't put everybody's up.)
How Do You Love Someone?
Chapter 10 - Learning to Dance
North's Workshop was filled with buslte as the holiday drew near. The winter boy had come to find a certain Autumn spirit but had so far been unsuccessful. Walking down an empty hall, laughter and music lead Jack to a large room he hadn't bothered to enter before. Fay had asked North if she could borrow one the large, life-sized dolls and was currently dancing with enchanted toy. She had her hair pulled back into twin ponytails with silver bows and her normal outfit had been changed to a lush earthy green, short, dress with silver ribbons. Her head was tossed back as the doll spun her around and pulled her close.
"Autumn spirits love to dance Jack. They are the winds that laugh while the leaves dance around them." Cupid had almost drifted past him but had paused to see what had the boy standing outside of the room. Pink eyes met his blue eyes, somewhat amused with another emotion hidden under it.
"She is..." Jack left off as his trail of thought drifted back towards the door. Cupid chuckled quietly and placed a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Join her, Jack. A living partner is better then a doll who only does as it's told." Jack glanced back at the cherub only to get pushed into the room. As he stumbled and caught himself, Cupid shut the door with enough force that the happy girl had spun around, letting the doll go. Without the contact the toy crumpled to the floor at the loss of magic.
"Snowy? What are you doing here?" He couldn't think of anything to say but said something all the same.
"You're a good dancer" Fay smiled at him even though his brain finally caught up to his mouth and he flushed.
"Do you dance?" she inquired as she placed a hand on the limp doll and it straightened it's self. It was a but shorter then her as she led it to a chair next to a table. Now that he looked, it was a library they were in with a new cd player providing her music.
"Not really. I'm not sure I could if I tried" Jack responded as he played with the cd player. It was playing some form of song that had a variety of instruments he couldn't name accompanying the singer.
"It's not hard once you get it down. I'll show you" she grasped his wrist and pulled him away from the table and chairs. Fay's fingers were warm. Not as hot as a human's nor any of the Guardians he knew, but she was a bit warmer then he was. He bumped into her when she turned around and took his hands. She swung his arms to the beat and he tried to pull away.
"Find the beat first Snow White. Its not hard." and he noticed her fingers tapping his palm in time to the music and after a moment he found it. Tough he couldn't find her rythym. He seemed to bump into her too often and had even stepped on her foot. But she just kept smiling.
"You're thinking too much. Don't copy me, let yourself out" It was another two song before he stopped knocking into her. And by the third, he was keeping up with her. The songs had suddenly changed from fun to soft and slow and he glared at the machine for stopping his fun. He didn't know how to dance to slow music now. Fay laughed at his antics and pulled his hands away from the cd player again.
"No touching." Jack found his arm around her and his right hand in hers.
"You step like this. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 ,1, 2, 3, 4" and she spun around to step back to him. He repeated her motions but when he started to spin she stopped him by grasping his hand and spinning around and back to him.
"You don't spin. You spin me instead." The song was over before they knew it and stopped all together, and Fay moved away from him to tend to the cd player. Jack watched her before glancing at his hands, still slightly warm from her body heat. Fay had restarted the music when Bunnymund entered the room. The moment he spotted her he strode over to her, ignoring Jack for the moment.
"You're with me for the night Sheila." He had stated and Jack crossed his arms, staff now back in his hand from where he had set it next to the cd player. If he was gonna speak up, he might as well do it now as North's form took up the doorway.
"Why not let her stay with me once in a while?" Jack had called their attention to him and North laughed.
"She has to stay where she can be hidden Jack. She can't be out in open for long" And Jack uncrossed his arms and leaned against his staff as he cast a glance in Fay's direction.
"I have a home. It might not be grand like the Workshop, the Palace or even the Warren, but it's very well hidden" Bunnymund started to speak when Fay beat him to it.
"I don't see a problem with it. If you guys didn't know about it, then what are the odds that someone who hasn't met Snowy, would know of it?" She was right and the other Guardians admitted that the idea seemed fine after she made her point.
Tonight, Fay would be staying in his home.
