Chapter 25

My Happy Ending

"Jack, how much longer?" Taylor whined, the wind whipping her hair about wildly. I grinned as North jerked the sleigh in another direction and she yelped when it sent her body crashing into mine.

"Don't worry Tay, we're almost there." I shouted back over the sound of the gusting wind. She huffed irritably and crossed her arms and turning away from me, despite the blindfold preventing her from seeing me anyway. I shot North a look as he turned around and he grinned in my direction.

I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding, lacing my hands together in my front pocket. Despite being Jack Frost… I felt heat rising to my cheeks. Thank the Moon Taylor couldn't see me right now.

The sleigh shook as it touched the ground and reared to a stop. Taylor's head shot up curiously and she tugged at her blindfold.

"Did we land? Can I take this thing off now?" She asked with an eager smile and I chuckled, pulling my hands out of my pocket.

"We're here. But you have to leave it on for just a little bit longer, okay?" I grinned and pulled her close to me with my arm around her waist securely. I turned to North and Bunny. "We're gonna go on ahead." They both nodded with a knowing smile and I willed the wind to push us through the mass of trees surrounding us.

She held onto me tighter than ever- uncertain of how high off the ground we were obviously. I smiled and stroked her hair silently and she smiled at me through her temporary blindness.

"Alright Tay, we're here now," I whispered, grinning like a fool as I let my feet touch the ground along with her own. She shot a look at me and I knew instantly what she wanted and I chuckled. "Yes, you can take off your blindfold now."

"Yay." She squeaked, already fumbling with the knot and frowning when she couldn't get it untied. I stepped behind her and reached past her hands and undid the knot with ease and smirking when she huffed again and let her eyes fully open again.

She frowned and raised a brow confusedly and glanced at me as I moved from behind her. "A house…? Jack, I don't understand; whose house is this?"

There was indeed a house in the clearing. Not too big, not too small; it was one story, but rather long. There was a long porch stretching out into the grass with an average, white door in the back. There were windows on either side with pale, yellow curtains pulled to the sides and the outer walls were painted baby blue while the windows had a chocolate brown rim. A chimney shot up from the left side of the house, there were also freshly planted flowers and bushes lining the house itself. Most of the flowers were many different colored Easter lilies.

I lowered my head for a moment, biting my lip a little and looking back up at her. She seemed to bite back a nervous smile when she saw my serious expression.

"Tay, I… What were things like, uh… Before I met you?" I started, attempting to start it off easy. She raised a brow at me before lowering her head and rubbing the scar on her arm sadly. If I had to guess… It must've been something she'd done to herself. I inwardly frowned at the thought, but still knowing it was true.

"It was… Dark, lonely… Scary." She shut her eyes tight and I walked up to her, grabbing her hands and folding them in between my own and she looked up at me.

"And what about now? With me…?" She smiled softly as if remembering something.

"It's… Fun," She giggled at using my guardian title and I couldn't help but grin. "With you around, everything gets just a little bit brighter. But everything the light touches… I don't need it, all I really need is you." My heart dropped in absolute joy at her smile and words, it took everything I had not to start bouncing on the walls.

I cupped her cheek and kissed her lightly and she returned the favor. After a moment I pulled away and took a deep breath.

"Tay, since I met you, my life has completely turned around. And through every nightmare, every fight and every little obstacle in our way, nothing could've broke us apart. You're strong, you're funny, kind, an amazing artist, you're beautiful… You're one of a kind. And so," I rummaged through my front pocket, fighting back a smirk at Taylor's reddened, embarrassed face. "I know that spirits can't exactly do this kind of thing, and I couldn't make a ring to save my life, but…" I pulled a silver chain from my pocket and held it up to her as her hands immediately went to cover her mouth in shock. At the end of the chain was a snowflake I'd made stuck to it with a clasp. I flashed her a small smile.

"Taylor… Would you do this old snowflake a favor and stay with me forever?"

Tears welled up in her eyes and she pulled her hands away from her mouth, seemingly speechless. At first, she really didn't speak and I feared she'd decline; but then she smirked at me and fiddled with the chain and looked at me again.

"You got another chain on you?" I raised a brow before I nodded and reached into my pocket and pulled out a spare silver chain.

"Uh, yeah, what're you-"

"Don't interrupt." She batted her eyelashes and I shut up as she closed her hands around the bottom of the chain, her eyes glinting with the utmost focus.

"Tay…?" I covered my eyes when a harsh, bright light flashed through her hands and directly in my eyes. After a moment it died down and I heard Taylor clear her throat so I lowered my arm. My eyes widened at the chain in her hand.

It was like she'd froze a star in time. Small and practically one with the chain, a small star she'd made shone brightly in her palm. Though it dimmed more and more until it looked like nothing more than a small nightlight. She held up the star to me and smiled, finally wiping away the tears from her eyes.

"There. Now it's more appropriate." I raised a brow at her in confusion and she gestured to the clasp on the chain in my hands as she undid the one in her own. My mouth formed an O and I smiled.

I reached past her shoulders and underneath her hair as she raised her arms to reach past my own shoulders and behind my neck.

"You ready?" I asked, grinning when she nodded and mouthed a "yes" in my direction.

And in a second the clasps were done once more. My snowflake rested at the base of her collarbone while her star shone brightly and contrasted against my hoodie.

Taylor looked up at me again, her chest heaving with uneven breaths of pure excitement. I shot a lopsided smile her way.

"So is that a yes?" She bit her lip with her hands balled into fists like she was repressing something and I stepped back out of instinct.

"YES!" She cried, pouncing on me in an instant and giggling like a school girl when I yelped in surprise while her arms looped around my neck and my own securing her waist as we fell onto the grass. "Yes, Jack! Yes!" Happy tears fell freely from her face as she'd strain her neck to kiss me over and over, not even giving me the chance to kiss her back. I almost had to close my eyes, for she glowing so bright she might as well have been a star herself. All I could do was laugh at her behavior.

North and Bunny watched the happy couple from their hiding spot behind a large pine tree with big, goofy grins. They were clasping their new necklaces around each other's necks at the moment.

"We can come out now, yes?" North whispered harshly, gripping the tree bark in anticipation. Bunnymund just slapped his back irritably.

"O' course we can't! Not yet!" Bunny growled, his ears lowering slightly and North groaned.

"YES!" Their ears perked up immediately and their grins surfaced once more as they saw Taylor tackle Jack to the ground screaming "yes" as though her life depended on it.

"How about now?" North whispered, his brow furrowing. Bunny sighed and pushed his ears back.

"How 'bout this: we give the lovebirds some privacy, eh?" Bunny suggested sarcastically, raising a brow at North when he shot him a confused look and the man finally sighed in defeat.

"Fine, Bunny! We go now. Happy?" North groaned, waving his hands in the air as he turned back in the direction of where the sleigh was parked. Bunny grinned to himself and glanced at the laughing couple.

"Yeah. I am."

"Okay, Tay I- okay!" I laughed, finally sitting back up with her still pressed firmly against me and she giggled before pushing herself back and onto the grass.

"Sorry," She smiled, her hand absentmindedly playing with my snowflake around her neck. "By the way, this is a real snowflake, right? Wouldn't it just melt later?" She asked, frowning at the thought of the snowflake going away.

I shook my head. "Nope. I made it so that it would never melt. Even when I'm gone, it won't melt away." I smiled, though it fell at seeing her eyes lower sadly.

"What do you mean 'When I'm gone'? We're spirits; immortals. Immortals don't die!" She cried, suddenly fearing the thought of me not being around. She bit her lip and my eyes widened slightly before I placed my hand on top of her own.

"I know, I know. I just meant that sometimes… Well, things happen. I told you what happened with Sandy once, didn't I?" She nodded slowly.

"But he was killed by Pitch and brought back again. Pitch is gone now! Jack… Don't go saying things like that, okay?" She sniffed and I frowned before pulling her into a tight hug.

"Okay, I'm sorry, Tay. I shouldn't go around spewing nonsense, huh?" I smiled against her hair and she sniffed again.

"Yeah. It's stupid." I couldn't help but laugh at that and I pulled away to find her pouting slightly before she blinked as if remembering something.

"By the way, you never answered my first question." She said and I raised brow.

She pointed to the house still sitting there as if taunting me and I mentally slapped myself in the face. How could I forget the whole reason we're here?!

"Whose house is that? Why did we come here of all places?" She frowned and I chuckled, standing up and pulling her with me.

"Well… Soon we'll have been together for a whole year," I paused for a moment. "And so, I got a little help to work on a certain project… The same one I've been working on for the past month." Taylor's eyes widened significantly.

"Wait, you mean… This is-"

"Yup. We've got ourselves a real home now." I grinned with my hands resting on my hips triumphantly.

Taylor's body brightened along with her excited grin and she swung her arms around my neck wildly, though this time I managed to catch myself before we fell again.

"We have our own house! This is so awesome!" She squealed into my hoodie. After a moment she pulled away and sighed happily as I wrapped an arm around her waist and she leaned her head on my shoulder.

"You good now?" I smirked.

She giggled and grabbed my hand, pulling me along towards our new home. "Come on, Jack! I wanna see the inside!"

The wind pushed me ahead of her and I swung open the door as she finally landed in front of me, her arms crossed.

"Cheater." She huffed and I rolled my eyes.

"You gonna stand out here complaining, or are you gonna come inside?" I gestured to the hallway inside lazily and all irritation Taylor had faded away immediately.

All I saw was a blonde blur rush by me throughout the entire house, darting this way and that. I shook my head with a laugh as I shut the door behind me. I walked down the hall and stopped in the living room, seeing Taylor bouncing around like she was on a sugar high.

"Oh my Moon, Jack! This is so cool!" She smiled, moving from the chair to the couch across the room giddily.

I rested my hands on my hips and shook my head at her.

"You act like you've never seen a house before, Tay. So uh…," I trailed off, scratching the back of my head. "Do you like it?" She paused and looked at me.

"Like it? I love it!" She cried, flailing her arms around for a moment with her bracelet jingling madly and her body as bright as the star that was her namesake.

I sighed in relief and Taylor pulled me down to the couch with her and she leaned against me.

"Best day ever. Of all time." She giggled and I couldn't help but agree.

"You can say that again."

That night

"Hey Jack?"

I turned my head to look at Taylor who was patting her stomach lightly in deep thought. We had been lying in the grass and looking up at the night sky for a while now with our free hands intertwined in between us. My other arm was folded underneath my head.

"Yeah?"

Taylor bit her lip before looking at me with a curious glint in her eyes.

"Can spirits have kids?" I lowered my eyes and turned my head back to the sky and sighed. This question was bound to come up sooner or later; I knew that she wouldn't take it very well, no matter how I put it.

"I… No, they can't," She frowned and twisted the cloth of her sweater in her hand as if holding something back. "I'm sorry, Tay."

After a moment she shook her head, seemingly refusing to speak for fear she'd fumble over her words. I frowned at seeing a tear slide down her cheek and I squeezed her hand for reassurance.

"Hey, come on," I pulled her close to me with my other hand raising her chin to look up at me, her tears made her eyes glisten brightly in the darkness of the night. "Sure we can't have kids, spirits can't exactly marry either; but we worked around that. Who needs children to prove there's a relationship when we have each other?"

I wiped her tears away with the cuff of my hoodie and I blinked when I saw her smirking at me.

"I guess you're right. Besides," She grabbed the front of my hoodie and jerked me closer to her face and my eyes widened in surprise. "Then I have you all to myself." She whispered.

I felt my entire body heat up and a smirk played onto my features. I chuckled and wound my arms around her waist, pressing her body against mine and willing the wind to push us up to our feet.

"You know what?" I started, picking her up bridal style and she laughed with her arms around my neck and she glanced at me in question. "I'm the luckiest son of a bitch in the world."

She giggled and pulled me into a deep, passionate kiss and I flew us inside our home. "Damn right you are." She smirked, jumping onto the bed and pulling me with her, despite being nearly blinded in the darkness.

I bit her lip and I felt her shiver against my body while her arms searched underneath my hoodie, pushing it up and over my head as she went. I unbuttoned her sweater as she tossed my hoodie aside and rested her hands on my arms.

"I love you, Tay." I kissed her again and she returned the favor without hesitation.

"Love you more." She breathed with a giggle and I grinned.

"Impossible."

The Taylor before me is perfect in every way, and that's how I plan to keep it. The Taylor before me… While broken, was just as beautiful on that hill of snow and leaves, despite never seeing her smile beforehand.

She just needed a dab of frost in her life.
