The next day went normally. Jamie was at school, Jack was walking around burgess making tiny patches of snow. Although, at about 3rd lesson something his teacher said made his face light up.
"A reminder to all students, the prom will be tomorrow. The head teacher would like to apologize for any inconvenience the short notice has caused. All students must attend either as a couple to the Prom, or as a helper. These will be the people to clean up and only allow certain people in. You may bring a person of your age to the prom from outside of school, but only as a date." The teacher had groaned, knowing that now, no matter how much she tried, the class would not be controllable. So she sat in her chair, drank some tea and put in some, what looked ancient, earplugs.
All day after this Jamie could not concentrate and was dying to see Jack. As soon as the last bell rang he ran to his house, only to find a mopped tile floor and jack about 2 foot away from the door. As you have probably guessed, this meant Jamie running in, slipping on the floor and landing on top of Jack.
"Jack. Room. Now" Jamie said, trying to hide his excitement from his mom, and his words. After what had happened the day before he wanted to keep any double meanings in his sentences.
"Umm… Okay?" Jack said, slightly confused.
Both boys then rushed up the stairs, hand in hand, and burst into the room. As soon as they were through the doorway Jamie locked the door and took Jack by the hand.
"Jack?" Jamie asked, blushing like an apple.
"Yeah Jamie." Jack smiled, now also blushing.
"Will you be my date to the prom?" Jamie asked, astonished at how much confidence he mustered up so quickly when saying that.
"Y-y-y" Jack stuttered. After taking a deep breath he managed to say "Y-y-y- What do you think?"
At this Jack pulled Jamie into a passionate kiss.
"When is it?" Jack asked, "Please say it's not too soon."
"Is tomorrow too soon?" Jamie asked shyly.
"Well then, we need to get up town." Jack smiled and Jamie grabbed his phone. And almost suddenly became very jealous. Jack had pulled out one of the newest smart-phones, while Jamie was sitting there with an old clam phone in his hand.
"You call Guardians, I call friends" Jamie said, jack nodded.
"Hi bunny. Umm… could you help me with, no. okay." Jack said, pulling an awkward face and dialled up another number "Hi, North…. No, not right now… Next week… Missing snow… Okay, got to go now. Bye!"
"Hi Pippa, could you help me with… Umm no… No… YEAH WILL YOU PISS OF TOO, OKAY?" Jamie smiled at Jack before continuing. "Hey Robert, could you… Why were you going to call me…? You want advice on picking what to wear for the prom… Sure I'll over in about ten minutes."
"Hi, Sandy… you there… helloooo… Not there… Okay, bye!" Jack frowned, realising Sandy doesn't speak. Then he dialled up another number "Hi Tooth, I need some help with something… Yes it's clothes based… Yes it is about something formal… Yes I do need to see you before tomorrow… Okay then, be over in about 10 minutes. Bye!"
Both boys then started to think up their stories. Jack couldn't exactly say 'Hi Tooth, I'm dating a mortal and I am going to his prom. Can you get me something that would look sexy to a gay guy?' And Jamie can't really just say 'Hi Rob, I'm gay and dating an immortal who is also Jack Frost. What do you think I should wear to the prom?' Although, after a while, both boys decided to say something along those lines so everything would be out in the open. I mean, why postpone the inevitable with useless lies, anyway?
"We're off" Jamie called to his mom as they walked down the stairs and out the house. Luckily it was only about 4 o'clock and it was relatively light out, so if they were mugged it should be easier to identify them.
After about 10 minutes of walking Jamie arrived at Rob's house.
"Hi Rob, can I tell you a secret?" Jamie said, smiling.
"How weird is it?" Rob asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Very weird, and you probably won't believe it." Jamie said, still beaming enough to put search lights to shame.
"Well, might as well tell me now!" Rob said, shrugging.
"Okay then." Jamie said, taking a ling breath in, "I'm gay and dating an immortal who is also Jack Frost. What do you think I should wear to the prom?"
"Unexpected, although kind of obvious." Rob said, thinking.
"How is it obvious?" Jamie asked, frowning with thought.
At this Rob pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. "You left this here last time you came." He then handed it to Jamie, who blushed a deep scarlet.
"Okay, I guess it was obvious." Jamie said, looking at the paper which was covered in drawings of jack, in the centre was a large drawing of Jack with a love heart around it.
"Well, let's go!" Rob said, shrugging yet again.
As they walked into town they were almost silent, it seems that making small talk is hard after admitting that. Once they were in town both boys tried on several outfits, trying to decide which one was best. Rob found this easy, mainly because he had the help of the closest thing to a girl he could take to the changing rooms help. And it wasn't hard for Jamie since of how Rob and Jack had almost the same taste. By that I meant that Jack was extremely masculine in almost every way, much like Rob was.
Although for Jack the task at hand seemed to be more than challenging. Sure, Tooth had great taste in clothing, but she was also one of the guardians who could be homophobic. Yeah that's right, He had gotten the courage to ask the other Guardians (he didn't tell them he was gay, just asked) and North (Santa Clause) and Aster (Easter Rabbit) were in fact homophobic. Sandy (Sand Man) wasn't, luckily. Jack then took a long breath in, finally reaching Tooth's palace, and walked in.
"Tooth?" He called, although this seemed to be a bad idea due to nearly all the Baby Teeth (small humming-bird like fairies) rushed over to him and admired his teeth, forcefully.
"Get of him!" Tooth called to the fairies, dismissing them.
"Thanks." Jack said, sighing with relief that he wouldn't have his teeth ripped out by tiny fairies.
"You're welcome." Tooth smiled, "Now, why did you want to see on such short notice.
"Can I tell you something private?" Jack asked, smiling worriedly.
"Anything! Anything you like!" Tooth beamed.
"Okay, not really an easy way to say this… so." Jack took a deep breath in "I'm dating a mortal and I am going to his prom."
At this Tooth leapt at Jack and forced him into a hug. "I think this is great!"
"Really, you do?" Jack asked, extremely relieved.
"Yeah but don't tell…" Tooth said, but was cut off by.
"Aster, North." Jack said, rolling his eyes and counting them on his fingers, "Anyone else?"
"That's it. So, I'm guessing you came for some fashion advice and help with buying." Tooth said, her face strewn with thought.
"Finally, you catch on!" Jack said, very sarcastically.
"I know where to go!" Tooth said, practically exploding with excitement.
"Where?" Jack asked, a bit freaked out by Tooth's random mood change.
"Follow me!" Tooth said, grabbing Jack's hand and flying them out the window. Suddenly Tooth stopped and thought for a second. When she finally re-entered the land of the living she said, "Shit, I need to change. Keep forgetting everyone there can see me!"
"Fine, I'LL be here waiting." Jack said, getting out his phone. "How the hell does she have such a good connection? All the way out here, away from everything, and still perfect. Better use this to my advantage."
He thought for a moment. Then realised he had Aster's number on his phone. "How do I piss him off? I know… I tell him about tomorrow!" Jack said, although just as he started typing Aster's name into the search box he stopped. "No, that wouldn't be fair on Jamie."
"I'm back." Tooth said, she was wearing a blue T-Shirt with a flower on and some long trousers. She had used her wings to form a pattern on her back so it looked like it was just part of the T-Shirt design, and not her wings, and she also had re-arranged her feathers on her head so they looked like hair.
"Wow, I can't believe it. You actually look human." Jack said, trying to keep his mouth from scraping the floor in amazement.
"Thanks, now let's go find you some clothes!" She beamed, unwrapping her wings and flew off, Jack was closely following.
Once they had gotten into the world of society they both stopped flying and had to recede to walking.
"Do you have any money, I want to call a taxi." Tooth asked, searching her pockets.
Jack then pulled out a pink wallet and looked through it. Tooth was now ogling it, in amazement that Jack would let himself be seen holding it. "Enough for a bus, although a taxi would be too much."
"Oh god, I hate busses." Tooth groaned, now she was acting like the children she took teeth from.
"There should be a bus stop at the end of this road." Jack said, peering around other people as he tried to see if there was in fact a bus stop there.
"Yeah, I can just about see it." Tooth said, standing on tip-toes and craning her neck to see.
So they went to the bus stop, waited a few minutes and got on the bus. For Jack this was really easy, although Tooth was slightly freaking out enough to make someone in a mental asylum feel sane around her.
"Tooth, stop freaking out." Jack said, looking worriedly at her, "People are staring. You've gone red, you're sweating like a rapist at a nudist beach and if you wring your shirt in your hands any more it'll rip."
Tooth then noticed that she was doing all of those things and that people were staring. So she straightened out her shirt and took a deep breath in to try and calm her down. "Okay, this better."
"Tooth, at least pretend you're breathing. It looks like you're a plastic doll like that." Jack said, looking at how still, and creepy, Tooth was.
"Damn, I really hate being out in public." Tooth said, her head falling into her hands as she groaned in boredom.
The ride to where they were going took nearly an hour. By the time they had gotten there the majority of people who were on the bus when they got on were either gone, or asleep. Like Tooth was.
"Tooth, wake up." Jack nudged Tooth and she sat bolt upright, her eyes wide open and she looked petrified.
"Where am I?" She asked frantically, looking around.
"On a bus, don't you remember?" Jack said, trying to calm the frightened spirit down.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot." Tooth said, calming down. Suddenly she got very excited, "This is our stop, great timing Jack!"
"OH, thanks?" Jack said, slightly confused by Tooth's attitude.
She pressed the stop button several times then rushed off the bus, pulling Jack by the arm. Tooth pulled Jack at a near running speed to a shop where they sold tuxedos. Sadly Jack didn't know this, because he couldn't read Japanese! When Tooth entered the room the man at the counter smiled and greeted Tooth. Jack realised they knew each other since Tooth's name was mentioned a lot and she had a friendly conversation for a good ten minutes.
"Oh yeah," Tooth said, looking over at Jack who was standing there looking confused. "This is my friend, Jack!"
"Oh, he's English!" The man smiled and offered Jack a handshake.
"Not English, American. Although I do speak English." Jack said sarcastically, returning the handshake.
"So, anyway. Jack is here to buy a suit for his prom date, Jamie" Tooth said, nudging Jack in the ribs playfully.
"Wait how did you?" Jack said, getting more confused by the second.
"It was really obvious it was him." Tooth said, rolling her eyes. "You really are bad at keeping secrets. I mean, you have been visiting him a lot, even before the thing with." She clasped a hand over her mouth and blushed. Then she muttered to herself "Shouldn't have said that…. Should not have said that!"
"So you knew about this." Jack said, getting extremely angry.
"Only since yesterday. Your teeth flooded in with a whole new lifetime. Not only was there your childhood and immortal combination, but another, almost identical, one also flooded into your teeth. It took hundreds of my fairies to stop your teeth from literally exploding on us!" Tooth said, trying to calm Jack.
"Okay, fine. Now let's go back to the issue with what I'm going to wear to the prom!" Jack said, finally both him, Tooth and the shopkeeper were calm.
"So, what were you looking for? A tuxedo? A basic suit? Something with a bowtie? Something with suspenders? Something blue?" The shopkeeper asked, getting excited about a new customer.
"Watch one more episode of that British TV show and I'll make sure you won't be able to watch anything again.
"Something bigger on the inside?" The shopkeeper asked, not even paying attention to what he was saying.
"STOP!" Tooth begged. No more Doctor bloody Who references or I'll block BBC from that TV.
"Although the bowtie, suspenders and blue weren't that bad though." Jack said, thinking.
"What type of suit?" The shopkeeper asked, giving a 'I told you so' face to Tooth.
"A tux, yeah, a tux with some sexy suspenders and a bowtie." Jack laughed and tooth was biting the back of her hand trying to force back giggles.
"Okay, what do you actually want?" The shop keeper asked, getting slightly frustrated.
"No, seriously, I want suspenders, a bowtie and a tux. Trust me, last time he saw me in a bowtie and suspenders, which was when I was in fancy dress about a year ago for Halloween, he practically melted in front of me when he saw." Jack said, blushing at the memory. Who knew that a cheap Dracula rip-off could be so sexy?
"Alright, let's get measuring!" The shop-keeper said, rushing jack of to one of the measuring rooms. For some reason they had separate rooms for measuring and for changing.
After about ten minutes Jack came out, wearing a sky-blue tuxedo, a bright red bowtie and some floral suspenders.
'Jack was right about himself. He does look damn sexy in suspenders' Tooth thought to herself, trying not to literally drool on the floor.
"How do I look?" Jack asked, giving Tooth a spin.
"You look…. Mm… Yummy, no I mean err. GOOD! Yeah, good!" Tooth said, blushing like mad.
"Yummy, eh?" Jack teased, making Tooth blush even more. "Just kidding!"
"I think Jamie will love it!" Tooth said, straightening out the bowtie, "A proper bowtie. Not even a clip on bowtie. You must really love Jamie."
"Shut up…" Jack said, now blushing as much as Tooth was.
"Now let's buy that." Tooth said, ushering Jack back into the changing room.
Once it was all bought Jack and tooth left, Jack returned to Jamie's house (the only place he could really call home) and Tooth went to her palace.
