Sophie stood there for a moment, just staring at me, looking over my body, my face, at my staff even. She looked into my eyes and we just stood there, entranced by each other until reached out to me slowly and I didn't really know what to do. I wanted to touch her, I was curious as to how it felt to hug a mortal, what her skin felt like. I wondered for a brief moment what it would be like to kiss her. Would I freeze her? Would I hurt her? This feeling I had in my stomach was nothing like I'd ever felt before. I wanted to run my hands through her gold hair, touch her rosy cheeks, kiss her cute little nose. It freaked me out that I was thinking about all of this. It didn't make sense to me at all. When would someone want to be with an immortal who would remain seventeen for the rest of his life? This couldn't even be. This didn't even seem real.
Her hand touched my cheek and it was warm. Her skin was just so soft and warm. I smiled at her and she started laughing, like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her smile grew as did her eyes, making me think of how cute she looked. If she had believed in me, then why hadn't she seen me? Why did she think I was just a dream when I visited Jamie all the time? I suppose, I never came to see her. Maybe she thought Jamie lied? Or just made me up to make her smile? He often did that. He would tell her stories when she was scared of the bogeyman. Luckily for all of us, Pitch was stuck in his own nightmares. Sophie's other hand found the other side of my face and brought me back to reality.
"You're… real! Oh my god!" She kept laughing and touching my face with both her hands, just checking if I was actually there. She touched my cheeks, my hair, my neck and my shoulders.
"I'm real" I grinned as her hands smoothed over my chest and she pulled me in for a big hug.
"You're so cold" She shivered in my arms.
"Sorry" I frowned, feeling sad that all I could do was make her cold. I hated that all I could do was make people cold and sad. I was winter, I know I usually brought fun and happiness but still. I made people freeze, and it hurts a great deal when there's nothing I can do to help someone when they are trying to get warm.
"That's not a bad thing" She pulled back and jumped on her bed, motioning for me to sit in front of her, which I did. "Tell me about yourself"
"Uh, well what do you want to know?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Everything" Her eyes gleamed with excitement.
"You sure you want everything?" I challenged her, raising my eyebrows and think of where I would start. When I met her? Or when I became guardian? Or maybe my very start, when I was reborn.
"I want to know everything" She smirked back at me, bouncing on her bed a little bit too enthusiastically. "Absolutely everything, right from the beginning"
"Okay, well it all started back when I first saw the moon. At least, that's my very first memory. Until I found my teeth that gave me memories to when I… oh you're confused already. Alright, let's try this again. Come on Jack, think straight. Okay, well the first thing I remember is darkness..."
