How Do You Love Someone?

Chapter 12 - About Damn Time!

Jack was the first to wake. And the first thing he noticed was that he was warm. Not uncomfortably so, but warmer then usual which brought his attention to the fact that something was warming him and moving in his arms. Carefully he shifted enough to see the silvery locks and black streaks that framed a pretty face partially hidden by his blue sweatshirt. And she was clingingto him.

Blushing Jack attempted to move away but only succeeded in almost waking her. He stopped and she settled back into a peaceful sleep. Their legs tangled and arms around each other, he could only assume it happened by accident. They had subconsiously ended up cuddling. It was a strange feeling. She was soft and she was warm, only a little warmer then he was since Fall was a chilly time of year but was still warmer then his winter chilled body. The fact that she didn't seem uncomfortable with the slight difference in their temperature amused him. At least it wasn't like Tooth or Bunnymund who shivered at his touch.

The only time a girl had been this close when Tooth had hugged him after Pitch's demise. And even then she hadn't done it since. Only stuck her fingers in his mouth whenever possible for a glimpse at his teeth. Before then and ever since, he hadn't had much in the way of physical contact so this was a decidedly nice feeling as he watched her sleep and pet her hair.

It wasn't long, only a few minutes, but Fay woke up soon after he did. It did take her longer to realize their position then he did though. She stared at him sleepily and unhooked her arm from around him to rub her eyes gently only to stop mid-motion. The look of realization dawned on her as she wiggled her legs, one of which was hooked around his and flushed deep red, pressing her face into his hoodie to hide her reaction.

It was too cute. And Jack was still not awake enough to have full control over himself as he tilted his head forward to press his lips to her hair with a chuckle. Fay froze. It took him a moment to replay his actions in his head but it was too late to take it back. But he wasn't sure he wanted to.

"Jack?" It was his turn to freeze. That was the first time he had ever heard her say his name. To say he liked it was an understatement. He looked at her just in time for her to touch his lips with hers. It was only for a second and it was as soft as a butterfly's fluttering wings, but it was enough for him to want more. He moved to copy her when a soft echo just barely reached them and he groaned. It was the other Guardians looking for them. Fay looked at him then at the exit, then back to him. She didn't want to stop this but she also didn't want the other Guardians to worry. It was difficult to find Jack's home unless you were shown so it would be difficult to check up on them.

With a mumble about skinning Bunny and removing North's beard, Jack rose from the bed, collected his staff from the frosted headboard and stood by the doorway while Fay pulled her ribbons back into place. She had decided to wear her hair down this time and he smiled at her questioning look. She was still a bit flushed and he hoped that she could hide it when they met the others.

Fay's wings were to wide to properly lift her out of the steep corridor so Jack had opted to carry her out. To say the others were surprised to see his arms around the girl with hers around his neck, well, it was understandable. They had become fast friends over the last two weeks. Tooth was the least surprised and she recovered faster then the others, with Bunny mumbling about how his torment would never end. More Egg Hunts would be in danger with them together.

Jack had released her onto the ice but she didn't bother to let go of the sleeve of his sweatshirt, even as he swung his Shepard's Hook onto his shoulder with the other hand.

"About damn time!" a crisp and warm female voice called and Fay tugged at Jack's sleeve.

"Oh, no. It's May and if she's here... Sonny can't be far behind"
