Um…..I had school?
*All of the Guardians start yelling*
Me: HOLD IT! *Runs behind you, the reader*
Bunny: No fair, using the Reader as a shield!
Me: Is too! Reader, do the very last disclaimer because I'm tired of doing it.
Reader: But you don't- *Stops when I glare at you* Nevermind.

Jack's POV
It was Jingle's fault. Though, Jack knew he didn't mean too. See, the Guardians had all gathered by the fire, Jack being the farthest from it of course, and they'd been laughing and having a good time when the elves came in with hot chocolate and cookies.
Jack, as usual had declined. Now, while the others maybe thought this odd, they never said anything about it. But this time, Jingle wouldn't have it.
Jack didn't know if the elf was just fed up with him saying no or if Jingle had worked hard on making the cocoa or what, but that damn elf was persistent. He kept shoving it towards the Winter Spirit, who kept shoving it back.
At least, until Jingle shoved so hard, it spilled onto Jack's hand.
"AGH!" Jack's cry of pain was followed by silence. Jack gripped his hand, which had started blistering and smoke was coming from it. North, painstaking slow, got up and moved Jingle aside as he knelt to Jack's level (Jack had fallen out of his chair) and carefully looked over the injured hand.
"Bunny, get me your special healing gel. Now." North commanded. Bunny immediately got the gel from his pouch and passed it to North, who rubbed it gently onto Jack's wound.
"Thanks, but you don't have t-" Jack was cut off by North's stern glare. He smiled sheepishly before continuing. "I meant, I could've iced it over."
"My boy, this will make it feel better very quickly. Now, why did simple hot chocolate burn you? Surely it was not that hot?"
"Hot stuff, even some warm things, burn me. It's like when you have frostbite and you aren't supposed to warm up. That's why I have to eat and drink everything cold. And why I stay away from the fire," Jack explained. Tooth's eyes welled up with tears.
"Oh, you poor thing!" She explained before tightly hugging him. Bunny rolled his eyes before ripping her away.
"Let 'im breathe, Tooth," Bunny said. She huffed, but smiled when Jack laughed. Jingle came up and looked down, frowning. Jack patted his hat and the elf glanced up cautiously.
"It's alright. Just...no more hot chocolate, ok?"
The elf eagerly shook his head up and down, his bell ringing. The Guardians all smiled and sat back down, the youngest getting some apple juice while the others stored away the knowledge they had gained of their new member.
Jack loved that they cared so much. And that his new friends actually wanted to learn things about him. He just hoped it didn't end.
A/N: Again, I take requests, though I do have some ideas of my own. At least…..23, I believe. Maybe 24.
