Disclaimer: They belong to each other! Not me (LOL) And to dreamworks xD

Okay.. SOOOO... I'm sorry but since I had a lot of stuff to do at home, I didn't have much time to updat the progress of my Doujin. And I've just got so many ideas for this story that I need to write! But I can't update till the short doujin is complete. So here's a somewhat of a 3.5 of the next chap. Just to keep you guys going :D AAAAND I found that this chap may be too long to post as one so I divided it :P

I hope you guys liked the Doujin version of my FF. Next Chapter... I PROMISE it'll contain the fluffy doujin scenes I drew :D

Also, I kind of changed the cover image of this story. I have a colored and screentoned version but I'm not sure which on to use permanently. So if you have the time, please check my DA and pick what you think is best. Thanks!

I should stop blabbering now.. The REAL story (BASED ON THE SUMMARY) happens NOW. As in RIGHT NOW!

... I shall stop o_o

ENJOY!

June 13

It's been months since he last received a letter from Jack. He just stopped writing for some reason... Was it really Jamie's fault? Was that letter really the cause of why Jack never gave a response? Until now, Jamie was still unsure of what part of the letter made Jack do that to him. All he did was be honest. He just wanted to tell Jack the truth. "I guess there really are some things that are better left unsaid..." Jamie thought, staring into the ceiling space of his room. He had his arms behind his head in a relaxed manner as he was lying down.

Back when Jack stopped replying, Jamie cried almost everyday for four months wondering why. 'Why did he do that? Why WOULD he?'

"Did he really think that by not replying anymore would me me think he never existed?" He pouted, not in a playful manner but as though he really was angry. Of course he was angry! His best friend actually just left him without noticed. He has practically been ditched! And no one likes getting ditched. "I still have your letters Jack... You can't hide the truth from me..." He whispered and turned to his side. Closing his eye, he finally gave into the night, wanting to try to get a good night's rest for once. Too much drama and tears have been played for the year.

'Maybe it really is time to move on...' Jaime last thought, not being sure of what he just said and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, at the Tooth Palace, Jack and Tooth were having a serious conversation. Tooth fluttered everywhere on the main platform, multi-tasking while listening to Jack and his problems at the same time. She was a really hard worker. She's so keen and attentive, almost nothing gets pass her. Except for her weakness of good teeth which causes her short attention spans to fire away all the job related thoughts in her head. But Luckily for Jack, Tooth finally managed to train herself to get over Jack's beautiful teeth. And she never bothered him about it again.

"So you're still keeping an eye on him but still not making contact at all? And you say that-Girls! Triplets, Louisiana! Also, one lateral incisor north of Paxton!- You say he's still pretty stubborn about it, huh?" Tooth turned to Jack, counting the new teeth she held in her hands.

"Yeah! I don't know what to do, Tooth! Is there some way you can mess with his memories to help lessen the memory of me? Because I know and I see him in so much pain... And for me to be the cause of his pain, makes it even harder to keep my distance. I really want to be with that kid again... Tooth... Help me..." Jack pleaded.

"Well Jack, I'm terribly sorry but I can't do anything to manipulate the memories in his teeth. Memories are memories, they will fade to the back of your mind but you can't erase them. And you can't force it either" Tooth paused to think, he index finger making its way to her chin, tapping it softly. "Unless..." She felt her feathers perk then turned to face her fairies, rambling about something about pre-molars and canines being somewhere east of asia. Interrupted by her job once again. Jack sighed heavily. It kind of gets annoying when that happens. But he can't blame her, her job requires her to work 24/7.

After the short drabble between Tooth and a few of her fairies, Jack let out a cough for her attention. Which tooth quickly turned back to. Her faces was smiling with embarrassment over her random rudeness. "Sorry."

"Unless what?" Jack raised a brow, indicating the need for her to continue.

"Unless that person decides to suppress those memories." She continued.

"Suppress? Memories?" Jack repeated her words, putting both his hands to the staff and leaned on it. His eyes narrowed with curiosity.

"Yes. Suppress. Simply, that person tries to erase the memory himself by forcing to forget about it. Ridding it off as nothing, pretending it never happened. Usually those memories are that of trauma, heart break or... Denial!" She exclaimed after finding the right word to describe her lecture.

"Denial?"

Tooth nodded. "Denial. He or she chooses to forget because the thought of that memory seems to painful to him. So he forces him mind to forget it. As in he really seems to have forgotten, therefore practically erasing he memory from his mind like it never happened."

"Denial, huh..." Jack reflected for moment. His eyes widen at an idea. Trying to hide his thoughts, he quickly thought of a way to change the topic. But Tooth saw through him. She fluttered closer to the guardian, foiling his attempt to his his intentions.

"Jack... You're not seriously thinking of trying to suppress that boy's memories, are you? How are you even going to do that anyways?" She asked, with a strict motherly tone.

"The letters... The gifts and drawings... Everything I have ever given him that would remind him of me... I need to take them all back! Make it all look like it never happened... " Jack lowered his head, away from Tooth's gaze.

"Jack-" She tried to reason but was cut off by a fairy which she immediately dismissed with a 'not now!' look on her face. "Jack, that kid means everything to you. And you mean so much to him too. Are you really willing to put him through that kind of suffering? The pain of fighting between fantasy and reality? If things get out of hand, then he could-"

"I know..." Jack interrupted. "Teenagers... When too much drama gets in the way, they tend to... do stupid things..." He shivered at his words. "But I'm here. And I won't let anything bad happen to Jamie. I won't let anything hurt him. Not physically at least..."

"Jack, do you really think that by taking everything, Jamie will pass you off as a figment of his imagination? He really idolized you! You should see his teeth! And for you to do this... We're supposed to be protecting the dreams, hopes... Memories... Of the children... I can't let you go through with this. I'm The toothfairy, but you're my friend. Do you know how absurd it would be for me to let you do this?" Tooth stressed, her form already crouching to reach Jack's eye level as she fluttered in panic. "Us, guardians also hold an important role in the memories of childhood. What's what I protect. Those teeth, I have told you before of what we do. For a child not to believe in us, he'd almost have no childhood."

"Yeah, I know all that... But I just can't leave Jamie like that? The world is harsh when it comes to those things! He'd be ridden off as an outcast for still believing in 'fairy tales' at 30 or something!" Jack almost screamed in frustration. "And I can't let that happen... He NEEDS to live a normal life, Tooth. You and I both know that."

Tooth felt his words bite her hard. She knew he was right. But he was also wrong. There's just nothing she can say that can convince that stubborn boy.

"Jack..." She sighed and held Jack's shoulders, making him look up to tooth. She could see the hurt in Jack's eyes. Even just by thinking of the plan she could see how much it hurt Jack.

"Are you really willing to suffer like this for that reason? To make him suffer denial? The memories won't go away you know. It'll just be locked up really well. But there will be a time when he'll remember and accept that he's been lying to himself. And on that phase, would be the most painful stab to one's emotions." Sometimes, you just have to warn stupid people of their stupid decisions. She can't change Jack's mind. And she can't always keep an eye on him. All she can do is just give the best advice she can think of in hopes that he'll follow. Then watch by the sidelines praying for everything to go well.

"Tooth, I- Yes... It's for the best" Jack's head fell on Tooth's shoulder seeking comfort from his friend.

Tooth hugged him in favor of his silent request. "Remember, just because you think it's best. Doesn't always make it the best." Tooth pulled back. She smiled an lifted Jack's chin to meet his eyes with her own sweet motherly ones.

"Thanks, Tooth" Jack smiled back. He gripped his staff and bid his goodbyes as he flew out of the tooth palace.

Jack arrived at Jamie's window. Jamie's room was dark and cold. It seems that he still hasn't closed the window since they first met. The young boy was sleeping soundly within the comforts of his warm bed. "Nice to see you again, kiddo." Jack whispered under his cold breath and silently entered the room. He looked around, pulling open every drawer and cabinet, scrambling through Jamie's stuff in search of the letters and trinkets Jack had given him in the past. On the side table, was the never melting ice sculpture of an epic battle between Pitch and Jamie with Jack. Oh how Jamie loved that one. It always made him feel like a hero because that night when they met, he was able to pick up the courage to face pitch as bravely as the rest of the guardians did. Jack let out a soft chuckle at that thought and took the sculpture, stuffing it into a sack he got from his hoodie's pocket. Jack rummaged through the study table's drawer and finally found the bundle of letters Jack had been sending him. Again, he shoved those in the sack as well. Then Jack continued to go search through the rest of the room, taking the drawings, toys, everything he thought would remind Jamie of Jack. He even took the makeshift staff Jamie made to look like Jack's crook.

And lastly, before deciding to leave, he took a last look on the boy's sleeping face. Jack hovered high enough that he won't end up waking Jamie. But low enough to be able to take in every loving detail he admired about the boy. How soft and delicate his brown chocolate hair looked. The rosy freckled cheeks that would redden when he'd play out in the snow for too long. His little nose was so well shaped, though not perfect. The thin line of his lips that would curve up to a smile every time he'd visit him. It's only been about 3 years, yet Jamie has already grown so well as a boy, a teenager... Jack's intense expression softened in awe as he continued to gaze at the boy.

"Jamie..." Jack breathed. His hand was slowly closing in on the few golden hair strands that stood above the boy's forehead. It inched close and closer. So slow that time almost seemed to have stopped. He was just about to finally touch the strands in attempt to brush them away from the boy's forehead. But was caught in shock when he sensed the boy's legs sift under the covers, almost brushing against Jack's left knee.

Jamie stirred a bit and turned to his side, still asleep. Jack drew back a little, his hand on his chest. He could feel his heart race, looking absolutely freighted at what just happened.

"Mmmm.." Jamie mumbled softly in his sleep. "Don't go..." Jack heard Jamie whisper.

"Jamie...?" Jack replied. He hovered closer to the boy, checking to see if he had woken him up.

"Jack... Don't leave..." Jamie muttered in his sleep. "Stay with me forever..." He dozed off, not saying another word after that.

Jack felt this sudden kick inside him. It made his body feel numb and warm. He thought of it for a second before brushing it off and floating to the window. "See ya around, kid..." Jack smiled as he flew out the window, letting the wind close it behind him.
