AyameKitsune : Thank you for your support !

sparklehannah : Did I already tell you how much I love you reviews ? Seriously, they always make my day.
I just love writing about Jack and Bunny's interactions, there are so much things between them and so many feelings to exploit.
I'm glad you haven't seen '68 handled like this, I try to change the way to go about the common themes you'll always find in Post-movies fic.
The truth about Jack losing control is actually kinda linked to the last bit of Conflict of Interest that I didn't write. For now, I still don't know how to go about it while still keeping the essence of ROTG, but I'll find how one day.

Today will be a double-update again, it wouldn't have been fair post these way too short chapters alone.

Timeline : 2013
Characters : Jack & Tooth
Words : 450

"Where is your home, Jack ?" She asked one day.

He looked surprised at her question. Like it was a silly wondering and the answer was obvious.

"Why would I need a home Tooth ?" It hurt, hearing his innocent tone, like he didn't saw what the problem was.

"So you can have a place on your own, where you can rest and meet your friends." She wanted to say. But she realized that his three hundred years in solitude didn't grant him with people he could be closed to.

"I guess Burgess and Antarctica can be considered as my homes… I always go there when I'm not working or playing with kids."

She knew he said that with the sole reason to comfort her. Her distress must have been seen on her face. But it only made her feel worse.

That's not a home, Jack.

"But don't you want anything on your own ? Like here, Bunny's Warren, Sandy's Castle or North's Workshop ?" She was aware she was talking in a desperate voice, but she needed him to understand.

He just shrugged.

"I'm a Seasonal Tooth, I'm always on the move. And honestly, it's more fun to find new places to rest."

"But Kore has one !" She retorted.

"Yes, but even when she's not there, there are always many plants and animals. Even sprites sometimes. Her house is always full of people." He tried to keep a nonchalant voice, but Tooth clearly saw the pain through his words.

And then she understood, that for someone like Jack, who was always alone, returning to an empty home would only hurt more.

The guilt was there, eating her from the inside. It has been long since she felt so ashamed.

"But now you can go to ours if you want to… We wouldn't mind." She said with a soft voice, vowing to herself to never let him feel lonely ever again.

Jack only shook his head and let a small smile grace his lips.

"I need to be outside Tooth, to live in my element." He paused for a second, and then his smile broadened. "But thank you, anyway."

He left shortly afterwards, smile still in place, but she didn't miss the lingering look he gave her.

She understood his point of course, nature was part of him, he needed it. It still wasn't right, however.

She wanted to reach him, show him the love he deserved, but she knew he would only brush her off. It was too soon, he wasn't ready yet. One day, everything would be better.

She just hoped she wasn't deluding herself.
