Your face flushed such a bright red, it matched Jack's current color. "Shit!" You pulled your shirt down to cover your female parts from view. You tucked your legs under the shirt, ultimately stretching it, and you hid your face on your knees. You wanted to just curl up and disappear, erased from the face of the planet. Letting out a light whining noise, you fidgeted with the wet fabric of your shirt.

You and Jack didn't say a word for a while, and at one point, you were positive that you had just disappeared as you had wanted, but Jack turned to look at you, proving you wrong. His face was still red as a tomato, and he looked cautiously at you out of the corner of his eyes before he turned to look completely at you.

He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Instead, he closed his mouth tightly, knowing that you were already too embarrassed to be reminded about it.

He walked slowly away, and you could hear his soft footsteps echo slightly around as he ascended the stairs, leaving you to try to spontaneously turn to dust.

You continued to sit there, with your head on your knees, when you heard rustling next to you. Looking up, you saw your coat in the hand of Jack, outstretched for you. He was looking away from you, still profusely blushing.

"You can wrap this around your waist, it'll… cover you up." You took your coat from him, gently releasing it from his grasp.

"Thank you, Jack." You were surprised, but not. You knew he was the kind to do this, even though he usually tried not to act like that, being a joker and all.

"Sure thing," He turned around, facing the water, allowing you some amount of privacy to wrap the coat around you. Standing up, you wrapped the sleeves around your waist, double tying them to prevent the coat from falling, and you adjusted it to encircle your legs, preventing your legs (or your butt/private parts) from being shown. You looked back at Jack, who was still standing towards the water. Taking advantage of his turned back, you silently creeped up behind him.

"Are… you done-" His question was cut off by your hands on his back, pushing him into the water in front of him. With a yelp, he fell in, a big splash following his yell. Taking advantage of those precious seconds, you bolted for the stairs, and you had already reached the top when Jack resurfaced, spurting out water.

"Hey! What was that for!" He called after you, obviously irritated by having been soaked for the third time.

"Payback for seeing me naked!" Laughing, and yet still embarrassed, you ran down the hall which lead to the main room, trying to put as much distance between you and Jack.

"You're not getting away so easily!" His voice caught up with you, a hint of laughter in it, and you ran like your life depended on it.

Holding onto your makeshift-skirt, you sprinted through the hall. Around 3/4 of the way, still running and clinging to your coat-skirt, you heard laughter right behind you, and you braced yourself. Jack hurtled into you, wrapping his arms around your waist, and causing both of you to tumble to the floor, summersaulting across the bright red carpet. Flipping over and over, you came to a halt, discovering Jack laying on top of you, his chest bouncing in laughter. He was still wet, but your shirt was still soaking from swimming in it, so it didn't matter.

He placed both hands on either side of you head, and he lifted the majority of his weight off you. Still laughing, he caught you gaze, and he stared back. You looked at each other, both of you smiling uncontrollably, before Jack leaned down slowly and closed his teeth on your nose. "That's for pushing me," Smiling a crooked smile, he bent down again, placing his lips against yours. He bit at your lower lip, nipping lightly, playfully, before pulling away. "and that's for running."

Giggling, you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him down closer to you, until your foreheads met. When you were alive, his skin was as cool as the winter wind. Now, it was warm. Not as warm as a regular human's body temperature, but warmer than it had been previously.

"Maybe I should run away more often, then." You muttered, breathing in his scent. Still wintergreen and trees. Under your hands, you could feel the slight muscles underneath his wet shirt, hard and defined as he held himself up, and you could feel them ripple as he chuckled.

"Maybe you should." His cool breath rolled over you, and you drank it in like hot chocolate, unable to resist. It filled your head, and you began to get dizzy, your mind and nose filled with the minty-winter scent. Is this what it feels like when you drink too much vodka? You thought humorously to yourself, your grip tightening, wanting to drink in more of him.

Rustles from down the hall broke you out of your trance, and you quickly released Jack, who stood up swiftly with an embarrassed look on his face as he looked at the visitor.

It was just an elf, wobbling along like a penguin, a bell on his triangular hat ringing lightly. He passed by both of you, not giving you any kind of suspicious or embarrassed look (more of like an informal greeting glance) as he walked past, obviously on a mission.

You both watched him hobble away, before Jack laughed and offered you his hand. You took it gladly, using your other hand to hold your coat-skirt (which surprisingly had not fallen off in your little tumble). With your hand in his, Jack led you the rest of the way through the hall into the main room, where raised voices were heard.

"Are you sure we can trust her? We've never even met her before, and you said that she's a siren, haven't you read the stories about sirens?" An accent you could only describe as Australian was heard. The owner of the voice didn't sound too happy about what was going on, and you had shared his thinking when North had first told you that you were a siren and chosen to be a Guardian.

"She's a nice girl, trust me, I've looked at her teeth. We can trust her." Toothiana's voice was soothing and reassuring, and what she said about you made you start to like her.

"Are you positive, Tooth?" The australian again.

"Bunny! Now is not time to argue with Tooth. She was chosen by Man in Moon, she can be trusted. I have met her and talked to her. She is kind, and she does not seem to be the type to betray. Besides, why else would Jack love her?" North commented now. "And I do believe they are here now."

You and Jack stepped from behind a pillar which had been obstructing your view, and you saw two new people standing with Toothiana and North. By people though, you mean a six and a half foot tall rabbit and a man made out what appeared to be gold.

A/N: Hello everyone! I just wanted to say how happy all your comments have made me, and that I really appreciate you reading my story! This is only the third time I've ever written anything like this, and your support has made me more confident to keep going! Thank you! ~Livv

Now for current the current tally:

Yes: |||||||||||||||||||||

No: |||

Okay, so a ton of people agree with having a sex scene with Jack! However, since there are people who don't want that, I think I can work with that! How about, before the sex scene, I give you guys all a heads up/warn you it's coming, so you can decide to read it or not? I feel like it would suit both sides (and I'm more of a passive-neutral person, but I don't want people to start hating on other people). So I'll warn you ahead of time!
