A/N: I AM SO SORRY! I left my state and I won't be going back for a while, and I'm visiting family so it's hard to update… But now that everything has settled down, I might be able to catch up on the due updates… And just so you know, I don't hate Tooth and this isn't meant to make her look bad. Everyone sticks their feet in their mouth occasionally. Except Sandy.

"Get the fuck out of that room or I will break down this door and pull you out, dressed or not!"

Jack rolled his eyes at New Years' cheek, pulling at the collar of his shirt. He didn't like how low it was anymore…

Just as Jack was about to turn around and leave, the door snapped open, New Years holding a bobby pin and a toothpick. "Get out, now," she huffed with a glare. Pumpkin stood behind her, and hand at her mouth in a shallow attempt to cover up her giggles. "I tried to stop her," she said with a smile, feigning innocence. "No you didn't," Jack joked, shooting one last look at the mirror.

"Bitch, you look fabulous. Now, go out there and work for your man," New Years said with a smirk. Both girls stood at the side of the door frame, waving their arms dramatically at the hall. Jack smiled and followed their gestures, stepping out into the hall. He turned to face the two girls, bowing dramatically. They clapped, stepping out with him and closing the door.

Jack turned and was about to walk down the hallway when he spotted a flurry of green, purple and gold. "Fuck!" he cursed, hiding behind Pumpkin. "What?" she asked, eyes wide, looking around frantically. She then noticed Tooth and began to wave wildly. "Hey! Tooth! Long time no see!"

Tooth turned, a look of pure horror crossing her face before she hid it behind a shaky smile. "Oh… Pumpkin!" she paled when she noticed New Years next to her. "And New Years… It's great to see you!" New Years rolled her eyes. "We aren't here to fuck shit up, as tempting as that might be. We're helping old man Clause with Christmas. He's milking us for toy ideas."

Tooth seemed to visibly relax at this, her smile a little more real. "I'm sorry…" she said, obviously slightly ashamed, "It's only… You're reputations…" Pumpkin smiled, curtsying. She was about to say something when the Fairy noticed Jack hiding behind the Celtic spirit's skirt. "What the hell are you doing?" she asked, her brows furrowed. "And sweet Mim, what are you wearing?"

Jack felt his body grow colder, his eyes staring at the floor. Pumpkin let out an indignant huff, glaring. "We dressed him up, played with his. Why? Do you have a problem with it?" Tooth held up her hands in defense. "No! He doesn't look bad! It's just different…" New Years hissed, "Well, different isn't bad. He looks good to me. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have somewhere to go." Before Jack could protest, he was dragged away, giving Tooth only a wave.

Pumpkin and New Years stomped ahead of him, both muttering about the 'damn fairy queen'. He assumed that meant they didn't want to be spoken to. As they trudged on, he glanced at their surroundings. It seemed like they were going to the Globe, to its main floor. The floor was enormous, so it was the center of everything. Every hall led to it, by some extent.

"Why are we going to the Globe?" Jack asked curiously. "He did not just ask that question," New Years muttered. Pumpkin snorted. "We didn't dress you up for nothing. We already said you needed to work for your man. Did you think we were playing?" Jack shook his head, staring at the ground. Obviously not safe to talk quite yet.

"'Ey! Whacha doin' to Frost Bite? Tooth just wen' down tha hall, mutterin' bout him dressin' like a-" "Oh, Bunny! There you are!" New Years shouted, waving him down the hall. "Fuck me…" Jack muttered, pressing the back of his hand to his forehead. "That's Patrick's job now," Pumpkin replied bitterly. Jack winced. Poor choice of words.

"Where's tha little Snowflake?" Bunny asked, hands on his hips. "Oooh, Sassy Easter Bunny doesn't trust us?" Pumpkin snorted, grinning wickedly. "No, I trust ya sheilas. I don' trust ya together." Pouting, New Years stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Bunny's wide shoulders. "There are three people here, darling. And old man Clause only invited his terrible four."

Bunny threw a glance at Jack, eyebrows raised. "Frost bite?" Jack waved sheepishly, smiling. "Hey, Kangaroo…" The Easter spirit glanced between the two female spirits, eyes wide. "What tha hell did ya do to him? He looks like'a poof!" Pumpkin and New Years winced, glancing at Jack. He was staring at the ground, fists clenched. "Well, if he's a poof, so am I!"
Jack turned and came nose-to-nose with Patrick. Jack gasped, which gave his 'boyfriend' the chance to plant a wet kiss in Jack's mouth. Patrick's eyes fluttered shut, so Jack assumed he should do the same. Patrick placed a slim hand on Jack's thigh, bringing it up so it wrapped around his leg.

The kiss was too awkward. Both of them were trying too hard, and it was especially awkward to kiss someone like this in public. When they pulled away, there was a string of spit between them and it made Jack want to gag. Praying no one noticed, Jack pressed a light kiss to Patrick before pulling away.

Pumpkin had her head buried in New Years neck, obviously trying not to scream in delight. New Years herself was blushing wildly, glancing between Pumpkin and Patrick, confused about the state of their relationship. Jack risked a glance at Bunny, trying his hardest to look desperate and empty. Please, see me the way I see you.

He saw Bunny, his ears pressed back against his skull. His eyes were narrowed and Jack could only assume that Bunny was disgusted. He felt himself turn blue, stepping back from Patrick. "I need to go speak to North," he muttered, rushing down the hall past everyone.

As Jack retreated, Bunny turned his eyes to the trio in front of him. "Wha' just happened and why should I not kill tha lot of ya?" he hissed, glaring. New Years held her hands up defensively. "I don't know and I don't care. Not my problem, bro," she said, laid back and amused. Bunny glared at the other two, causing them to shiver. Patrick and Pumpkin were strong spirits, yeah, but that didn't mean that they could take on a pissed off Guardian.

"I love him," Patrick tossed out casually, freezing everyone in the room. Pumpkin looked like a deer caught in the headlights, not sure if she should surrender and run, or stay and fight. Of course, the only person she would be fighting was the idiot who was straying from the plan and saying things he ought not say.

Bunny growled, baring his teeth. "My arse. I don' give a flyin' fuck if you are married to the blighter. You hurt Frost Bite and I'll-"

"You'll what, Cottontail?" Patrick challenged, standing toe to toe with the Guardian. "Jack isn't yours. He's mine, if anything. You aren't involved with him. You haven't been, you didn't plan on it, and you never will be." Bunny looked ready to pop, standing to his full height against Patrick. Patrick's eyes widened dramatically and he took a step back, hand to his heart. "Or, could you love him? Could the Easter Bunny fall in love with Jack Frost?"

That must have been the breaking point for Bunny. He pounced on Patrick, his teeth going for the leprechaun's throat. Patrick grabbed his ears, pulling the enraged rabbit back. He used the shock of his move to flip Bunny onto his back, Patrick straddling his stomach. "You listen well and good, you little fucker. It doesn't matter how badly you love him, you can't be with him for one reason – you aren't like us. If Jack loves you, then I will kindly back off. But, this isn't Beauty and the Beast. He won't love you for your personality when he has to worry about you shedding on his carpet.

"Get human if you want him. If you love him, you prove it. I'll give you until Christmas. After that, Jack and me are permanent." Patrick reached into his pocket, pulling out a small, velvet box. "Permanent."

A/N: Short, but said what I needed it to.
