Ch 25

Jack

The next day I woke up with Elsa once more, I'd managed to convince the other Guardians to let me take the night watch. I'd known her the longest and she trusted me. She actually told them she felt safer with me around, so the decision was made. I wasn't complaining but Elsa had been acting strange. She was really clingy, she wouldn't let me leave her side for more than a few minutes. I didn't mind it at all but she was a proper lady, raised to be poised and graceful. She wasn't used to showing affection and we needed to be careful. She'd told Anna and Kristoff and Anna almost flipped a table. She was excited to hear that her older sister had found a reasonable suitor. We'd told her to not mention anything to the others because things could get rather complicated. Unless Elsa agreed to become a guardian, there would be no way for us to be together. She'd die eventually and I wouldn't be able to cope with that, and I knew she would accept her growing old and me staying the same. Although I would stay, I would be there for her through her whole life.

After an hour or so Elsa woke up

E:"Good morning love…" she said in a still sleepy voice, her hair was all messy and she always seemed the happiest in the mornings.

J:"Good morning beautiful" I responded as I smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She returned it with a kiss on my lips and I almost gave into it, but we needed to talk about what we could tell the Guardians.

J:"Elsa wait we need to talk, we need to discuss what and how we're going to tell the Guardians what's going on between us."
E:"But Jack we already know what they're going to say. We can't be together if I'm not immortal and I'd rather just cherish what I have with you for as longs as I can…"

I wanted to tell her there was a way, that she could become a Guardian and be with me but then someone knocked on the door and interrupted.

E:"Who is it?"

T:"Your majesty it's me, Tooth. I was wondering if Jack is still there, I'd like a word with him."

We exchanged a look and I mouthed to her to let her in. I flew to sit on the window seat so it wouldn't look suspicious and Elsa smoothed out the opposite side of her bed a little, so suspicions wouldn't be raised.

E:"Yes he's still in here, come in Tooth!" She smoothed out her hair and got up to open the door for Tooth.

At once I was concerned, Tooth had a strange look about her as she walked in. I couldn't put my finger on it but it made me cringe a little bit. She kept looking between me and Elsa, as if trying to figure something out. I realized Tooth probably knew what was going between me and Elsa, so I cleared my throat and started talking to her.

J:" Um hey Tooth, what's going on?"

T:"Oh nothing just, I need to talk to you…" she said and looked at Elsa. "Alone, please…" I couldn't avoid the issue any longer so I walked outside and Tooth followed behind me, I gave Elsa one last look and then stepped out the door, towards an inevitable conversation

Elsa

I had a feeling that Tooth knew what was going on between us, and lately I was being a lot more affectionate with him. I wanted to be with him more than anything, to be as close to him as I possibly could before my week was up. After Jack left to talk to Tooth I decided to go and get ready for the day.

I was scared of the bathtub a little bit since my last meeting with Pitch but he seemed a man of his work so I slipped into the water and relaxed. I only had about four days until I left my current life. I was going to spend as much time as I could with Anna and with Jack well… I was ready for him. I wanted us to become one in every sense of the word. I loved him and I knew he loved me more than anything. It hurt me the most to leave him.

Anna had Kristoff, they would marry and live the rest of their lived together but Jack had no one. He had the Guardians sure, but they didn't know him like I did. He'd told me things they never knew about, and I wanted our first time to be special for us both.

As I took my bath I thought of what I could do to make that night special, I was hoping it could work out tonight, I had limited time and I needed to make each moment count, no matter the cost.

Jack

J:"Alrigh Tooth what is this about? I need to leave soon to watch over the children of the world" I said as I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at Tooth. I knew what she wanted to discuss but I couldn't let her have the benefit of the doubt.

T:"Jack I'm going to ask you straight, and you better answer me honestly…" She said with a grimace.

J:"alright ask away then, I'm open book feathers."

T:"What is going on between you and Elsa? She's always around you making those eyes at you and you offered to keep her safe at night even though you have the most work to do besides me and Sandy. Are you together? Like together, together?

I took a deep breath and swung my staff around before I answered. Truth was I had no idea what say so I was surprised to hear myself just blurt everything to her.

J:"Yes we are together and I know the others and you won't approve but I don't care honestly. I love her more than anything or anyone. She needs me, yea I know she has Anna but even then it's not enough for her sometimes. She has no one else and she's been through a hell of a lot more than you and I have. I'm not going to leave her just because of some stupid rules Tooth."
Tooth's eyes went wide with surprise, I wasn't used to yelling and much less at a girl, but they needed to know I was determined. I wasn't gonna lose Elsa.

T:"May I ask…why Jack? You've got Jamie. You have plenty of children around the world that adore you!"
J:"Because Elsa isn't just another child or person, she understands loss and what I've been through. She understands what it's like to be an outcast. I don't want to lose her too…"

T:"What do you mean Jack? Her too?"

J:"There's something I never told anyone, there was someone else before Elsa. I lost her a long time before I became a guardian and I don't want to lose Elsa like I lost her…"
