IMPORTANT: Right, I just wanna ask you guys because I write this to suit readers preferences, what would you think about changing this to an M rated story? Obviously, the whole reason I hit off with the Blackfrost writing was because I took a leap with my writing and improved it by changing it to smut and yaoi. Obviously, this story has hit off really well being a T rated fic, that's why I'm asking. Would anyone lose interest if I change the rating, or would you think it would be good for it? Please review or PM your answers because it'll help me out a lot. Anyway I'll leave you to read now :) Thanks for listening/reading x
"Pitch?... Pitch." The airy whispers penetrate the silence. I open my eyes to see the angelic face in front of me.
"Morning." He grins down at me from the straddling position he is in over me. Instead of wording my hello, I slip my hand behind his neck and pull him down to me, pressing kisses on his lips and moving to suck in his neck whilst his bare chest presses against mine. After a peaceful night in of comforting Jack and sharing memories with each other last night, we shared my bed to save a tired Jack giving explanations to the Guardians. He was very persistent at finding out memories between us in his previous life, but I made it clear that he should find them out himself when he recieves his tooth box, so I was very selective with the memories I relayed to him.
"I need to go back today." He breathes against me, clenching his fist that's resting on my chest, as if readying for an outburst from me. I stifle a sigh and place my hand on his head reassuringly.
"I'll miss you." I choke out. I was supposed to be a fearless enemy for the Guardians to stand off against, but Jack bent the rules.
"That's the thing," he begins, rising and looking down at me, "I want you to come with me." He requests, his eyes pleading me to say yes.
"Jack, are you crazy?" I begin, sitting up bolt right, "The Guardians are my enemy, they have been sent by Lunar to stop me. I'm not going anywhere near them!" I remind, protest tinting my voice.
"I didn't mean come with me in the way that you meet the Guardians. I mean stick to the shadows and out of their vision. I don't want to go back to the pole without you, because I might not get the opportunity to see you again." He corrects, making his point. I can't help but sigh in defeat at his innocent pleading and desperation, not to mention he doesn't give up easily so he was most likely going to be a lot more persistent in his request.
"Fine, when are we going?" I question, watching his face light up.
"Now." He grins jumping off the bed and grabbing his staff and hoodie. Groaning, I fall back onto the mattress, objecting to leaving the warmth of my covers to be met by the coldness of the North Pole.
"C'mon Pitch!" Jack wines playfully, taking my arm and tugging. I allow him to pull me from the mattress, the shadows wrapping around me to clothe me in my robes.
"Where were you? You didn't tell anyone where you were, you missed Sandy's memorial. You had everyone worried." North lectures Jack, as he stands in front of the Russian man, listening to his scolding. I watch from the shadows as Jack hangs his head in shame, even though it was more my fault than anything.
"Yeah mate, we thought you cared about Sandy, but you couldn't even be bothered to come to his memorial." Bunny sneers. I can see that sudden change in Jack at his comment. His hand grips his staff tighter, his knuckles turning white and his head lowers further, gritting his teeth.
"Bunny!" Tooth scolds, warning the pooka about the line he has clearly crossed. If the Lunar wasn't watching and I was at a risk of jepordising mine and Jacks relationship, I would've moved from the shadows to defend Jack, probably to beat some sense into the think rabbit. But following Jacks orders, I remain masked in th shadows, out of sight.
"Don't you dare say that! Sandy was my best friend, the only Guardian to recognise my existence before I was summonedto join you lot! I'm dealing with his death in my own way, so fuck off!" He rages, visibly holding back on hitting Bunnymund. Before any more can be said, he retreats upstairs and to his bedroom, where I am waiting when he slams the door shut. He runs to me, burning his face in my chest, crying, the tears seeping through the cloth and I embrace him in comfort. His hands scratch on my back, trying to claw together enough cloth so he can grip it with his fist.
"Bunnymund had no right to say any of that." I tell him softly, stroking my hand over his head, brushing through his hair.
"I miss him Pitch." He sobs between his cries. My heart breakers slightly, knowing I was the reason for all of this. I know he wasn't directing that comment at me, but it makes me realise how careless I was and the heartbreak I've caused the boy. I take a few steps back, holding the teen so he follows my movements. Sitting down onto the end of the double mattress in the guest room, I pull him into my lap, continuing the embrace. The world seemed closed at this point, like me and Jack were the only two beings on the surface. Yet, that is soon ended when an approaching voice calls out.
"Jack? Are you ok?" Tooth questions, a small shadow being cast from under the door as she stands outside.
"I'll be fine, hide. I don't want you to be taken away from me too." He urges, quickly pressing a kiss on my cheek. I listen to him and slip into the shadows again as the door slowly opens.
"Hey Tooth." Jack greets, faking a smile on his tear stained face. I can see from her facial expressions that her heart melts for the teen in his condition.
"I knew he's taken it too far this time." She mutters, quickly taking to Jacks side and wiping the still falling tears from his face. Holding his cheeks lightly, she examines his face.
"Don't listen to the grumpy rabbit. We all know that you cared about Sandy very much and I'm sure you were remembering him on your own wherever you were. Bunny's just tight about the workload on his back because of Easter tomorrow, but he still has no right-" she begins, verbally scolding the Pooka and reassuring Jack.
"Tooth, I'm fine. I just... Needed time to get things off my chest." He replies, placing a hand on her shoulder in gratitude. She smiles warmly at him.
"Ok, well, get some sleep because we all need to help with Easter tomorrow. With the Teeth gone and Sandy... It's just becoming a little more difficult and we need to try and get back on track again." She reminds, her voice saddening as she walks toward the door.
"Night Jack." She bids goodbye before closing the door. It was strange seeing the Tooth Fairy walk, most of the time she was seen flying. I move from the shadows again and sit next to Jack like I was previously.
"Will you... Stay with me for tonight?" He questions, catching his breath and unsure about asking. I lean toward him and press a kiss on his lips.
"I didn't plan on leaving anyway." I smile warmly, pressing my forehead against his.
