Nothing belongs to me.
The five guardians just finished an official meeting and were now making idle chit-chat. Talking about their various homes, Tooth in a palace, Sandy in a mansion, Bunny in the warren and North in the workshop. Jack was listening avidly to the others' stories of how their homes came to be until suddenly they turned his way. He blinked and gave them a questioning look.
"Jack, what's your home like?" Tooth suddenly asked.
"My home?" He asked curiously.
"Da." North confirmed, his curiosity making itself known.
"Yea' mate where do ya live?" Bunny added.
Jack slightly blushed at the sudden attention, "Oh, well um...here, there, everywhere. I usually go wherever I feel like. The winter sprite was known to be a free spirit with a long past, to which his fellow guardians were curious about.
"We understand tha' ya gumby. But what about a bed, a kitchen. Ya know homey things." Bunny said annoyance clear in his gruff voice. Tooth and Sandy flew over and sat by Jack on what they dubbed as 'Jack's window seat'
"What Bunny is trying to say is what is your home like? Like do you have pictures hanging around and games and toys from over the years?" Tooth explained to him in a kind, motherly tone.
Jack looked at them in an understanding way, "Oh well no, I don't really have anything like that. I mean the lake near Burgess is usually where I stay at so I guess that would be my home." Jack explained a weird feeling coming over him as he said the word 'home' it leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.
"For a bed I usually just make a hammock bed out of whatever I can find, usually a forgotten sheet, or I just lie in the snow banks surrounding the lake." Jack explained closing his eyes and waving his hands around nonchalantly, missing the worried glances the older guardians were giving each other.
"Does it not get lonely? Living with oneself?" North asked.
Jack visibly flinched at the mention of his 300 years alone. It wasn't something they talked about casually. Jack quickly recovered from his hesitation and waved his hand dismissively looking over at them, "Eh...you get used to it after awhile." This statement however made them flinch.
The big four prided themselves as being guardians of the children all over the world. But the one child that actually mattered and impacted their lives the most was the one they failed, and they all agreed they would never be able to forgive themselves. But They tried to make it up to jack in the present...but the boy was quite hesitant with letting them in. Every time his 300 years was mentioned it pained them even more inside.
Jack surveyed the guardians, they all seemed lost in their own thoughts until Tooth was the first to break out of this stupor as well as the silence that had fallen between the five guardians.
"Jack-" She started before said boy interrupted her.
Jack had sensed the uneasiness and in short he was uncomfortable. And usually when Jack became uncomfortable with things he did one thing...leave. He was unsure of how to handle social situations, so he would just leave and let things blow over. So when Jack noticed Tooth start to talk he stood up and said, "Uh sorry guys. But I have to go, I'm behind on winter. So I better go before Mother nature comes to kick my butt." He gave them a small smirk and flew out the window not to spread winter, but to isolate himself for a couple days.
The guardians looked out the window while watching their newest member fly away. North gave a defeated sigh and then stood up abruptly, "I know what must be done! Jack is lonely no? He has no home. We shall give him home! Here at de pole!"
Tooth squealed in delight, "Oh North that is a wonderful idea!" Sandy nodded his head enthusiastically.
"Mate I have ta admit, that idea ain't half bad. But one problem, will frostbite even want to stay? I mean ya saw him just now, he bolted because he became uncomfortable. 'spread winter' my arse."
North threw an arm around the pooka, "Ah! That is no problem. We simply let Jack get used to idea of family! Da?"
Bunny threw him an unamused look, "Ya do realize, it gonna take awhile for frostbite to consider this a family."
"Da! But we shall be patient and show him we care." North assured him.
"Yea Bunny. I'm sure we can do it, just give it time and encouragement." Tooth said smiling at him. Bunny rolled his eyes as the group started planning a surprise for the winter sprite.
Oh my god yay! I'm sorry it took so long, but I feel like this chapter is way better than the last one so tell me what you think and dont forget to request anything :D
