BACKNESS!
Just to clear up some confusion from the last chapter, Jamie doesn't hate himself, he hates what's Jack's doing to himself and Jamie, because when Jack hurts, Jamie hurts… etc… etc….
Chapter Six: Fighting Dark With Light.
It had been a few days since Jack had told Jamie what had happened to him, and Jamie had barely left Jack's side, Jamie knew that Jack had gotten a little better, he no longer believed Jamie was out to hurt him, he even allowed Jamie to hug him, and hold him.
Jamie had even awoken this morning facing a sleeping Jack, Jamie had blushed furiously when Sophie had asked where Jamie had been all night, he knew that Jack needed him to be strong, not some crush ridden school boy.
Jamie sighed, looking up the stairs, he needed to tell Jack… but could he so soon after what happened to Jack? Jamie frowned, thinking deeply, Sophie having gone out with Pippa again, deciding that Pippa needed some Retail therapy,
Jamie looked up the stairs and frowned, he looked around the room, as if something in the room was going to give him the answer, but after a minute, all he saw was a small snowflake kettle he'd bought a couple years before…
Jamie nodded, he decided, he was going to tell Jack… and try and use it to help him, he stood up and walked up the stairs, carrying a couple cookies for Jack, he knew the spirit would appreciate the small gesture, as he arrived on the top floor, he walked over to the door he knew led to Jack's room, he walked inside to find Jack looking out of the window, clearly bored.
"Jack?" Jamie asked and the spirit turned around,
"Hey Jamie" Jack sounded sad looking out of the window again,
"What's up?" Jamie asked walking over and placing a hand gently on Jack's shoulder,
"Usually around this time, Burgess is a Winter Wonderland, but at the minute, it looks so devoid of colour…" Jack frowned, looking over at Jamie,
Jamie had to admit to himself that Burgess was looking a little duller than usual, but Jamie knew it wasn't because of Winter, everyone had been feeling odd recently, or at least everyone Jamie spoke to.
He smiled sadly to Jack, "I know, but you'll make up for it when you can"
Jack turned to look at Jamie before he nodded, "I guess so"
Jamie smiled more, handing Jack the cookie, Jack sat there nibbling the cookie, while Jamie watched him, Jack was staring out of the window, clearly down in the dumps, Jamie took a deep breath,
"Jack? You know your my best friend right?" Jamie began,
Jack looked up at him and nodded, an expression Jamie had never seen on his face before.
"Well…. I… err… I really don't know how to say this!" Jamie sighed, "Look, Jack… I wanted to… tell you how amazing you've been to me over the last nine years, how much you helped, even when it got you into trouble, you came to see me… and… your so cute and friendly and kind and…."
Jack watched Jamie speak through all this confused as to what the believer meant,
"And I… I like you Jack" Jamie came to the end of it,
"I like you too" Jack smiled, and Jamie sighed, Jack thought he meant as a friend…
"I doubt its in the same way… Jack I love you" Jamie told him,
Jack blinked, and frowned, "Jamie? I… I don't understand…"
Jamie sighed, "Jack… I Love You…"
Jack blinked again, "I still don't understand!"
Jamie frowned, thinking deeply, before coming to the only solution, "Jack, please don't hate me for this"
Jack smiled slightly, "I could never hate you J-" Jack didn't get to finish this sentence as a pair of warm lips covered his cold ones, he saw Jamie infront of him, Jack felt he could almost melt at the lightest touch and a few seconds Later, Jamie was pulling back,
"Do you understand now Jack? I love you, I want you to be mine and me to be yours" Jamie told him, waiting for Jack,
"Jamie… I… I've… never had someone… do that before…" Jack began, he took a deep breath, "I… Don't know…. I… fell strongly for you… but I'll end up hurting you…"
Jamie smiled, "I'll be fine, please Jack…."
Jack nodded, "I can… I can try"
Jamie's smile widened, "Thanks Jack, I Love you!"
Jack nodded and knew that this was the happiest he'd seen the Believer for in years.
With that the two started to talk about what it meant to be a couple (Jamie finding out he was Jack's first kiss) and within a couple of hours, Jack was asleep, cuddling the warmth of Jamie, who looked up at the moon, before looking back at Jack.
"Thank you Manny" Jamie whispered before cuddling in closer to the spirit, hoping that his body warmth would warm Jack up a little, he liked to think Jack would feel this whenever Jamie touched him, Jamie smiled contently and drifted off into a dream of him and Jack playing together on the ice, before he leaned in for a kiss….
(The Moon)
Manny smiled as he saw how well Jack was recovering, he wasn't fully healed yet… not by a long way, but for him to be able to open up emotionally to Jamie, made Manny feel that Jack Frost was going to be ok.
Then there was Jamie, well… time and again this child had proved to be incredibly useful, he'd saved the Guardians, kept Jack busy and helped to heal Jack, Manny knew Jamie would one day join their spirit ranks and he nodded, he knew which spirit would fit Jamie…
Sighing to himself he turned his attention to the North Pole, the Guardian's… he knew they'd been trying to find Jack, not that he wanted to punish them, but he knew what (Or rather Who) Jack needed now, was Jamie… and only Jamie.
He leaned back in his chair, thinking how to tell the Guardian's, then It came to him, he'd tell them which town Jack was in, but not with who. Then they'd stop looking! He knew he'd also have to them to leave Jack alone at the moment, again.
He sighed and decided now was not the time, he knew the time needed to be right for such news.
And done!

First kiss done…. So what's going to happen next?
