"I'm so tired I can't even move and you still smell like a mr. sketch pen." Jamie giggled a little.
"I think I can manage being a pillow for a little while longer." He muttered. Jack smiled.
"Yay! I can sniff you as long as possible." He said laying comfortably against him and cushioning Jamie with one wing. Jamie just laughed at that. He couldn't really help it; Jack sniffed a bit before sighing.
"Time for breakfast." He slowly get up un-cushioning Jamie as he went to make breakfast, only flapping his wings every now and then, a few feathers falling off as, apparently like birds, he could molt... and did. Jamie just watched with mild amusement... it felt so good to laugh again... to just be... himself. Jack looked at him.
"What you laughing at?" A few feathers landed on his head as more covered the floor and he held out the pancakes; a feather or two fell on Jamie but they were still soft as silk.
"I'm just... happy is all." He replied with a soft smile as he sat up to take the plate and eat. Jack nodded.
"Okay." He ate his own food only to see the feathers as more drifted down.
"What the hell?"
"Molting. Like a bird." Jamie remarked between bites. Jack noticed the loose feathers on his wings and shook them angrily.
"THIS SUCKS!" He said tiredly and now preening his feathers clean until just the regular feathers are left, which meant the floor was covered in the fluffy things now and he started cleaning them up; snatching the ones in Jamie's hand and letting nature take them away.
"Awwww... I was going to make a pillow out of them... Next time I guess." Jack held his wings protectively, sticking his tongue out at him, taunting silently that he was too late. Jamie just smiled a little at that. Jack snickered and threw a ball of feathers at Jamie's face, he flew away and out into the snow.
"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN BENNETT!" Jack flew off, hiding in a tree amongst the leaves; folding his wings in so he didn't bump into any leaves or anything. Jamie took off after Jack as fast as he could... he'd collect the feathers later. Jack giggled and flew about, dodging Jamie's snowballs and tossing some back. Jamie grinned, throwing a feint followed by a second that manages to clip Jack's foot... just barely with the second snowball. He grinned at his minor success. Jack giggled, floating on his back as he clipped Jamie's face; Jamie might be a minor winter in throwing snowballs but still Jack had the best aim. Jamie brushed away the snow before tackling Jack in a hug. Jack laughed, falling on his back in the snow at the unexpected tackle. Jamie grinned then nipped Jack's nose before taking off, glancing back once with a mischievous gleam in his eyes; daring Jack to catch him as he flew off a distance before glancing back again. Jack smiled, blushing before taking off after Jamie at a close pace, within grabbing distance; he sped next to Jamie, smiling. Jamie grinned, then darted a different direction, really pushing himself as he tried to 'get away.' Jack huffed and pushed faster, darted that direction then boxed him in next to a few trees; Jamie laughed the whole time, trying to get away but he was soon boxed in by the trees... nowhere left to go. He pouted cutely, but there was laughter in his eyes. Jack showed same amount of laughter in his own and took Jamie into his arms, kissing him senselessly.
Jamie sank into Jack's kiss happily. He'd do anything to ensure Jack was happy. It was the same for Jack, he would do anything for Jamie... so he could be happy and Jamie knew it. Jack smiled when they broke the kiss.
"Let's go to Hawaii; it rains and gets cold there, we'll just avoid the sun."
"Sounds like a perfect way for us to spend some time on the beach." Jamie says with a smile at the suggestion. Jack nodded.
"Alright, let me set us up a bag of blankets, towels and food first." He said as he lowered Jamie and himself to the ground. Jamie nodded and followed Jack back to the cavern, gathering the few feathers that had been left, tucking them away out of sight. Jack smiled having prepared a banquet with ice cream cake that would stay cold with his powers, some sodas, chicken salad sandwiches, chips and a few other things; he grunted, carrying the heavy bag with all the stuff.
"Want some help?" Jamie asks after a moment. Jack grunted.
"Yes, if you would be so kind."
"Of course." Jamie took what he could to lighten the load.
"And now I will carry you." Jack said picked Jamie up before he knew what was going on; he fitted him on his back as he flew towards Hawaii.
"Jack! That defeats the purpose of me carrying anything!" Jamie says with a laugh. Jack soared over the ocean, coming close to a couple dolphins he snickered and spoke a little dolphinese; they splashed Jamie, giggling, Jack flew up towards the little jungle area with leaves water rainbows and beautiful birds fly about. Jamie giggled, wiping away the water that froze on him. He gasped a little at the rainbows. Jack set Jamie down to let him explore.
"Enjoy the scenery while I set up our place to stay."
"Okay, but first..." He set down the stuff he was carrying before kissing Jack's nose. Jack blushed brightly and set up the picnic, a table and little shade home he made of leaves, wood and coconuts. Jamie explored the area curiously, but kept an eye on Jack who smiled; he made a little area to sleep, it looked like a five start hotel by the time Jamie came back from exploring. Jamie smiled once he noticed Jack had finished. He made his way from the rock outcrop he'd found and floated towards Jack. Jack smiled when he saw him, he kissed him deeply once he'd come close.
"How do you like it?" Jamie returned the kiss before murmuring.
"It's amazing Jack, but you're still more so." Jack snickered.
"You know what's amazing about this place?" He looked at Jamie lovingly as he asked.
"What's that?" He asks curiously and Jack smiled.
"Your being here." He kissed him again, a lot more heated and passionate this time. Jamie couldn't argue with that logic as he returned the heated kiss, groaning a little. He couldn't help it... Jack just had that effect on him when he kissed him like that... Jack pulled back, rubbing Jamie's side before getting the ice cream cake and chicken sandwiches out for their meal. Jamie watched Jack with lazy contentment. Only realizing he did feel hungry when he saw the food.
Jack set the food out chips and other dishes for lunch; he patted a spot for Jamie to sit before he handed him his favorite chips and sandwich with lettuce and the ice cream cake was for dessert. He ate his own sandwich slowly, observing the area; it was really beautiful, the rainbow seemed to even have more than its normal colors. Jamie nodded his thanks as he settled down to eat. Gazing off at the rainbow, thinking to himself... could the day get any better? Jack smiled and looked at Jamie when he wasn't looking. Gosh, could he be anymore gorgeous and could this day be any more perfect? Jamie smiled a little at the rainbow before turning back to the last of the meal to take another sip of his drink as he finished it off before letting out a contented sigh. Jack finished his meal as well and smirked; he did go to Hawaii on special occasions and he decided to teach Jamie how to surf. The surfing lessons were only partly successful as Jamie spent too much time glancing at Jack and not enough paying attention to what he was supposed to be doing... needless to say there was a lot of ice on the beach afterwards from all the wipe outs... Not that Jamie minded in the least. Jack sighed after another wipe out.
"It's ok there's always tomorrow or next time." He helped Jamie again try to balance on the board.
"Don't focus on me, focus on the board." Jamie chuckled a little.
"Bit hard to... you're such a wonderful distraction." Jack giggled a little blushing hard still not used to the compliments.
"Well you're just as much of a distraction too. Just a cuter one." He helped Jamie get his board from the frozenish water, the ice easily melted away again from the constant moving of the ocean. Jamie grinned in satisfaction at the blush and tried to concentrate harder on what he was doing. Jack's words made his heart race a little faster and he had a bit of an urge to show off... So this time he made sure he got it right... managing to stay on the board as he rode the wave toward the shore. Jack smiled and followed suit on his own, he laughed.
"You're doing it, awesome Jamie!" Jamie grinned and swam back out, sitting on the board until he saw a good sized wave and then he turned the board about, waiting for it to come before he shifted to stand up beneath it, laughing a little as he trailed his fingers through the water and left little ice crystals among the water as he did. Jack laughed, doing a few flips before landing on his board again and going through the tunnel of water, almost looking like he wasn't going to make it out but he does just before the wave closes.
"Show off!" Jamie called out good-naturedly. Jack flipped off the board before landing again but this time he does a handstand. Jamie caught the next wave, using the wind to aide him in a few aerial tricks as he surfed on top of the wave. Jack laughed and followed suit only the top of the wave he wasn't so used to but he managed.
"Now who's the show off?" Jack snickers but instantly Jamie sensed something was wrong; Jack didn't even see the shape before a great white bit into his board and tossed him into the air.
"AHHH SHIT! JAMIE GET OUT OF THE WATER!" Jamie hovered above the water, freezing the monster of a shark as it lept out of the water at him, trying to get a bite only to crash down into the water half frozen. Jack grabbed Jamie and flew them away from the half frozen shark who was actually strongly breaking free of the ice; he flew to shore.
"Ok no more surfing." Jack said, shaking; he was so close to have been eaten or bit in half by that shark. Jamie hugged Jack close.
"Y-yeah.. at least not in these waters..." He held Jack against him, shaking a little at how close that had been... Things had finally settled, he couldn't just simply lose Jack now... or ever. Jack helped Jamie up from where they sat on the shore.
"Let's go." He took Jamie to the prettier part of the island, the hidden waterfall and hotel room that had a spa and many other things. Jamie was too happy to follow. He didn't want to go back in the water for a while. He marveled at the beauty around him though, but in his mind the most beautiful thing was the enchanter who led him through it all... Jack smiled.
"Ooh look!" Jack pointed out the mother Blue Macaw and its chicks and many other beautiful birds. Jamie smiled at the birds, enchanted by them but he still thought Jack's eyes were a more perfect shade of blue... Jack looked at the foliage, forgetting about the dangers in Hawaii too quickly, which is why Jamie was the first to notice a strangely colored spider about the size of a baseball on his back. Jamie froze the thing before it could bite Jack, flicking the thing off irritably. Jack turned confusedly to Jamie.
"What's wrong?" He asked him as he ran straight into a boa constrictor.
"EEEEEK!" Jack ran in circles, the poor snake is scared out of its mind trying to get off its running and screaming would-be-thought-prey.
"Jack, hold still!" Jamie said, trying to catch up to Jack so he could pull the snake off him. Jack squealed and screamed; screaming, he ran into a tree. Jamie finally caught up when Jack ran into a tree and he grabbed the serpent, pulling it off Jack only to be bit for his trouble.
"Ow... damn it!" Jamie tossed the serpent away, icing the new wound on his arm.
"Jamie are you ok?" He looked at the wound worriedly.
"Yeah... stupid thing bit me." Jack looked at the wound kissing the frost that covered it; Jamie chuckled.
"Don't look so worried. Constrictors aren't poisonous."
"Oh, ok." Jack smiled, taking them through the forest and back to their little hotel like house. Jamie smiled, following happily, the bite eventually stops stinging; Jack set Jamie in the bed and joined him to cuddle. Jamie snuggled close, the snake incident soon forgotten.
"All things considered... this has to be one of the best days ever. " Jamie said after a long moment of silence; Jack smiled.
"Y-yes it is." Jamie smiled back.
"Gonna be hard to top today... but I'll give it a shot." He grinned little and Jack smiled, falling asleep in Jamie's arms. Jamie smiled, simply content to hold Jack close; to be able to be the first thing that he sees... that is a miracle he'll never tire of. He's sure of that even as he drifts off himself. Waking up, Jack grumbled tiredly; looking up he is am face-to-face with a giant ass spider on Jamie's forehead. Jamie opened his eyes and noticed the movement. He freaked out.
"What the hell?!" He brushed the thing off, flinging the poor spider to the wall. Jack winced.
"Poor spider."
"Yeah... well next time it should find somewhere else to sit besides on my face..." Jamie sighed a little, calming down. Jack helped the poor freaked out spider only to be attacked by more.
