Hey! I hope the wait wasn't too long this time. I had planned to write earlier, but you know... the universe just LOVES proving me wrong. Then again, I probably make it too easy. (No that wasn't an ATLA cop out) At any rate. I'm doing well, and I hope you enjoy this next chapter!
It was dusk as you returned home, you couldn't get enough of the snow falling around you. The dark blue and purple sky with the while flecks of snow lightly falling was so magical. Jack watched your starstruck face as you watched the colors of the night. "You're gonna trip on something if you keep looking up at the sky." Jack said bringing you back to reality. "Sorry the sky is just so pretty tonight." You said blushing. Jack chuckled and you blushed harder looking at his lips. You quickly turned your red face away from his. Trying to get the rush of heat going through your cheeks, you closed your eyes and let out a sigh.
Just as Jack predicted, you took a step and slipped on a sheet of ice. A small yell came out of you as your eyes closed, ready to take the impact. When there was none, you opened your eyes to see yourself in Jack's arms once more. You quickly stepped out of them blushing. "Now don't you go bragging that you were right about me slipping." You yelled embarrassed. Jack laughed, "I know you, you're always clumsy. Which is good... it keeps me looking at you..." Light pink came to Jack's pale cheeks, having admitted his small secret, which made you blush harder. He cleared his throat, "Well, we should hurry up and get you home." He said taking your hand. "How about one more ride?" He asked. You smiled, "Sure, besides, my leg is starting to hurt again."
Jack descended into the empty parking lot of your home, before gently placing you on the snow covered concrete. "Looks like Mom had to run to the office." You said, reaching your hand into your pocket, pulling out your keys. Opening the door to your house, you quickly stepped inside letting the warmth surround your body. Walking over to the fridge to grab a bight to eat, you noticed a note hanging on the door. "(y,n) I have a meeting to attend, there's some left over pizza in the fridge, I'll be back at nine." You sighed, "Always working." You grabbed a few slices of pizza and placed them on a plate. "Hot or cold?" you asked Jack who was sitting at the bar. "Cold." You smirked, "Figures." you said placing the slice in front of him. "I guess I'll have mine cold as well, I don't feel like waiting for it to cool down anyways." you said. sitting down next to him.
Taking a bight into your pizza your phone starting ringing. A bit surprised, you quickly put your food down and looked at the screen. "Mark." It read. "Mark?" you questioned to yourself, then quickly answered it. "Hello?" "Hey, (y/n) It's Mark." He said. "Hey, what's up?" you asked. "I was wondering, if you were feeling up to it of course, if you would like to go out with me sometime tomorrow? Ya know, before school starts up next week." "Um, let me ask me Mom." you said then turning to Jack. "It's Mark." you said placing a hand over the speaker. "I can tell." Jack said, his expression slum, "What should I do? Tell him that I already have a boy friend?" Jack thought on it for a moment. "Sure... if you want to." "Ok, I'll do that... but I have to ask him if he believes in stuff like yourself." Jack nodded, "Sounds good." You uncovered your hand from the phone. "Yeah, that sounds fine, but I just have to let you know that I do already have a boyfriend." "What? You do?" Mark said a little surprised and disappointed. "Yeah, apparently I forgot about him from the crash. But I have to ask you one question if things don't work out between us... are you into kid stuff? Like Santa and the Tooth Fairy? I won't date anyone who isn't." Mark laughed a bit. "I hate to admit it, but I do believe in stuff like that. Don't go spreading it out, I'd hate for anyone to know. Then let me ask you this," Mark said plainly. "Do you even believe in the one spirit that no one does." "Which is?" you asked, the phrase a bit drawn out. "Jack Frost." You smiled and looked at him. "Yeah I do." Mark sighed. "Oh good. I thought I was the only crazy one." You laughed, "Nope we're both crazy... but do you mind my boyfriend coming?" You asked. "No, not at all." Mark said. "How does Starbucks sound at around noon tomorrow?" "Just fine." you said before ending the conversation.
Jack folded his arms, "How come you're being so nice to him?" he asked. You rolled your eyes, "It's not like he's gonna do anything to me while you're there!" Still." Jack said. "He hurt you." You placed a hand on his shoulder, "Everyone has done something wrong. Let's see if he can make up for it, ok?" Jack nodded slowly, making up his mind that maybe this was an ok idea. "Well, then there's one thing we have to change about you." you said. Jack perked up, "Change?" you nodded, "We have to change this white hair of yours. I can't have him think I'm dating a spirit, that would make me even more crazy." You ruffled his silvery white hair. "Alright." Jack said, fixing what you had done. "I bet my mom has some stuff that I could use, come on!"
You shuffled through the dyes that your Mom had in her bathroom. "Are you looking for a specific color?" You asked. "Well, when I was human, I had dark brown hair." You smiled envisioning Jack with brown hair. "Hot." you muttered. "Ah, here's some brown dye." you said taking down a bottle. "Ok, have a seat on the bathtub while I put this in." You said. Jack walked over and took off his jacket. You blushed a little, handing him a towel to wrap around his neck. You massaged the dye into his hair until it was completely brown. "Ok." You said washing the remainder of the dye off in the sink. "Take a shower and it should settle in." Jack nodded before you left the room.
Not to long after, a brown hair Jack stood in your door way. "Well, what do you think?" he asked breaking the silence. You sat up from where you were resting on your bed. You cool feel the heat coming back to you cheeks. He was so hot. "Um... you look great." you said, your voice a bit shaky. You turned your heat to keep your face from being seen. He had such pale skin. His slightly toned muscles where driving you crazy. But the thing that always caught your eyes the most was his neck. You always loved all the stress in his neck for some reason. "Do you have another towel I can dry my hair with?" Jack asked. "Yeah, let me grab one." you said walking over to your closet. "Here." you said handing it to him. You looked at the ground. You know that your face was red, completely red, there was no hiding it.
You felt a cold hand under your chin as Jack lifted you head. "What's wrong? It's just me?" Jack said. You planted your sight to the floor again. "You're awful red, are you ok?" Jack said. You knew he was playing with you and it drove you crazy having to confess. "I-I-I'm fine." you said, looking at him for a moment, before looking off to the side. Jack slipped a hand around your waist. "What do you mean. 'you think'?" "It's just you-Jack" you said placing a hand on his chest, your lips inches from his. He closed off the space between you with a gentle kiss. A few drops of water ran off his nose on to yours as he kissed you.
A few moments passed before he broke the kiss. "I love you." he said, before kissing you once more.
