"Soooooo…" I said to Kachi who was taking a bite out of a snow cone, made by yours truly. We were outside North's workshop, sitting on one of the mountains. "How is it?"

"C-Cold." He said, making visible shivers to add dramatic effect. "But very good." He said, smiling into the treat. Doing that got a little snow on the side of his lip, so I bent over and licked it up. It was good, some of my best work. When I pulled back I saw his face had turned red, very red, I was surprised that the snow hadn't melted.

It's been only a few days since we admitted our feelings for each other, and less than a few weeks since we actually physical met, but everything felt good, it all felt right. Everything was amazing… well… almost everything. Kachi hadn't brought it up, but there was still Nihil to contend with, but Kachi did say that it was something that would take time. I wondered every night if I really should be distracting him like this, but at the same time it still felt right. I felt that he needs this, that this helps him in one way shape or form.

I bent over and gently kissed him, he pushed himself into the kiss. I felt him smile. We parted, still smiling at each other. "Should we head back inside?" I asked, getting up.

"Sure". He said, beginning to fly. We flew back together. While late at night it was still sunny, but it was still getting late. We headed to my… no, our room, and into bed. Since he began staying with me he started to bring a few books to the room. Well, not bring, more he started to write them, and by few, I mean a lot. They were scattered throughout the room, some in the corner stacked up while others were on the floor opened up to some random page. I didn't mind, actually I rather loved it; they added his own little touch to the room. We climbed onto the bed and assumed our favorite position, I on my back, holding Kachi who was on his side, resting his head on my chest.

We spent a few moments in silence and I had an idea. "Hey, Kachi?"

"Yes my love?"

"You should know a lot of stories right?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Do you think you can tell me one?"

He laughed, "Really?"

"Yeah! No one has ever read me a story to bed, I saw plenty of children have it done to them, it looked… nice."

We both looked at each other and smiled.

"Well, if we are, we may want to change positions." He got up and sat up against the back of the bed. He pulled me down into his lap, resting my head on his legs. He put his left hand in my hair and started to play with it. I grabbed his right hand with both of mine and held it. "Now let me think… there's so many to choose from. Oh! I know, my favorite one."

"What is it called?"

He paused for a few moments and said "The Story of Jack."

"Gee, I wonder who it's going to be about?" I looked up and smiled at him. He let out a small laugh.

"Let me see… ah yes, this story being as almost any story beings. Once upon a time, hundreds of years ago, there was a boy named Jack. He lived in a small village in the woods, and was loved by all."

Oh… this is about when I was a human…

"He was a silly little boy, always making people laugh with all the things he would do, but that's what he was good at, making people laugh, have fun… be happy." He started to stroke my hair. "No one loved him more than his little sister, and he loved no one more than her."

Well, I think now I love someone more. I didn't say this out loud, but it was true.

"He took great care of his sister, keeping her safe, and always putting a smile on her face. It's what he was good at. One day, they wanted to go to the lake, which froze over from the winters chill, and skate on it. Their mother told them to be careful, they told her they would be fine and left. They were having their fun, but then… something unexpected happened. The lake cracked."

I looked up at him, and he looked down. He bent over and kissed me, moving his hand from my hair and caressed my face.

"His sister was standing on the most unstable part of the lake, Jack only feet away. She was scared, very scared, but Jack knew what to do. He had to protect her, and he did. He was able to save her, but at a great cost…" He closed his eyes. "For Jack fell in the lake instead."

"… I guess this isn't a happy story…"

"No, Jack, it is. You see, that night, a man appeared at the edge of the Lake. He look up and stared at the Moon. He gently took a step onto the lake, and walked to the middle of it, where Jack fell. The man was wearing a long, flowing blue robe. He looked up and said to the Moon 'Luna, please, save this boy. He has proven himself to be a being of pureness, of great good… please, bring him back into the world.' The Moon shined upon the Man in Blue, giving an answer the Man in Blue did not like. 'I will watch over him Luna, I will care for him. It may take time, years, centuries, but he will be a force of good, a source of goodness, of joy, of laughter, of happiness.'

The Moon once more shined upon the Man clad in Blue, but this time, rather than saying anything to him, he gave the Man in Blue a gift… of power. Light radiated out of his hands. The Man draped in Blue descended into the lake, parting the ice, and went to the body of the Jack. He put the light held in his hands into the heart of Jack, and whispered something into his ear."

As he said this, he moved his hands onto my heart. He bent over and put his face next to mine.

"'Jack' the Man whispered. 'Luna has given me something to bestow unto you. Winter has always been seen as a time of great despair, of great tragedy, of death. I give to you the power over Winter. Please, bring joy to this time, bring laughter and happiness, and protect those that need protecting, as you did to your sister.' The Man lifted himself out of the water and above the ice, closing the ice back up. He looked at the staff on the ground, that which saved Jacks sister, and looked back at the body of Jack, beneath the ice. He imparted power onto the staff as well, connecting it to Jack. 'May this one day be a reminder, a source of inspiration to you, to bring joy and happiness to a world clad in fear and despair.' The Man in Blue was about to leave when light shined around him. 'Luna?' The light of the Moon spoke to him, asking him a question. This caused the Man wrapped in Blue to pause for a moment… and think. He smiled and looked up, saying 'Jack Frost, that will be his name. Please, tell him.' The light vibrated around him, cascading 'Yes Luna, I will ensure his story is told. I will make people believe.'

The Man adorned in Blue pulled a book out of his sleeve and placed it onto the ground, opening a portal. He stayed just long enough to see the boy, Jack Frost, begin to emerge out of the Lake. He stepped through the portal, grabbing the book before it closed. 'I will make you known to the world Jack.' But… he didn't. He couldn't, it was something that just couldn't be done. All those years the Man in Blue felt terrible. He led the poor Jack Frost into a life of solitude, perpetually alone… and the Man in Blue felt it was his fault. However, the Man in Blue was right about one thing. Jack Frost did exactly what he hoped. He brought joy and happiness to the world in the bleakest of months, and eventually, he saved the world… but I feel that's another story."

I looked up at Kachi, astonished. He… he was the one? "I thought… I thought it was the Man…"

"Luna, who you call the Man in the Moon, gave me the power to give to you Jack, but only because I asked that you become a spirit. He was debating it for a while, and I finally swayed his opinion. I felt in the deepest part of my being that you would be a force of great good in the world, and you were." He smiled at me. "I'm so proud of you Jack."

I… I couldn't believe it. Kachi… I knew he has been watching me all those years, been with me from the beginning but… he was the one that gave me a second chance, another life, made me who I am. I got up and turned to him. I was… crying. He put his hands to my face and wiped away the tears.

"I'm sorry Jack, I should have been closer to you… all those years…" I quickly hugged him, stopping his speech.

"Not that again Kachi, it doesn't matter. I have you now, and you have me… we have each other…" I said while burying my face into his neck.

He pulled me down onto the bed, this time it was I who was resting on him. I cried into his neck for who knows how long. I didn't want him to let go.
