Chapter Four: Three Little Words.
It had been three days since Jamie had spoken with Manny and Since he'd 'Forced' Jack to move in with him and Sophie, not that either of them minded, it meant they had an excuse for not leaving the house to hang around with the 'Non-Believers', all the old group who had lost their faith in the Guardians and passed off the magical night as a strange shared dream. Only Jamie, Sophie and Pippa still believed in the Guardians. Sophie and Pippa often staying at each other's houses for extended periods of time, the last two days, were perfect examples of this.
Jamie had been following Manny's instructions, leaving Jack during the day (Mostly, but only disobeying to bring Jack glasses of Milk and a couple of Mint Cookies) and placing a single hand over his heart during the night, to stop the nightmares, which amazingly, worked every time, Jamie was easily able to calm Jack and bring about a dream from the nightmare.
Though every time he looked up at the Moon, he was sure that Manny was smiling at him, telling him to keep going, to follow his heart. Jamie smiled as he awoke that morning, his heart was telling him to talk to Jack, or at least try and talk to him.
Jamie climbed out of bed and threw on some clothes, leaving the room he headed for Jack's room, he opened the door to find the room unoccupied, Jamie rushed to the window, he saw Jack's staff lying on the bed, so that meant that Jack couldn't be far, he practically ran down the stairs to find Jack sitting alone at the Kitchen Table.
"Jack" Jamie breathed looking down at the Immortal.
Jack looked up at this his eyes tracing every inch of the room, looking for threats, but seeing only Jamie in the room he relaxed slightly.
Jamie walked over at sat next to the Immortal, looking at him, he reached a hand out but Jack, once again, recoiled.
"Jack Please" Jamie begged, looking at him with tears brimming in his eyes. Jamie once again moved to place a hand on Jack, this time he succeeded, he placed his hand on Jack's and felt the cool mixed with the warm, a pleasant feeling.
"Jack?" Jamie asked, not daring to move. He knew what his heart told him to do, but he was scared that Jack would flee the house, leaving him alone forever.
"J-Jamie" Jack whispered, not looking up from Jamie's hand over his own.
Jamie decided to move slowly, he moved his hand slightly so that his fingers were entwined in Jack's almost holding his hand. Jamie looked at Jack, who looked up and Jamie's eyes met with Jack's for the first time in four days.
Jamie could see several things in Jack's eyes, Fear, Disgust, but overruling them all, Happiness. Jamie frowned, he guessed the other two were because of whatever had turned him into this, not because Jamie was holding his hand.
Then Jamie started to move closer to Jack, and Jack sat still, not completely, but still due to shock, then Jamie pushed his lips onto Jack's, feeling the ice cold he always imagined wasn't as cold as he thought, more refreshing than cold.
As the lips parted Jamie pulled Jack into a hug, Jack sat there, still in shock that Jamie Bennett had kissed him, until Jamie whispered the three word's he knew Manny would want and he desperately had been wanting to tell Jack for Years, "I Love You"
At That Moment, Jack seemed to return, he placed his own arms around Jamie and then Jamie could feel the shoulder where Jack's head lay becoming wet with Jack's tears. Jamie hardly knew what to do with a crying Immortal, so all he did was whisper into Jack's ear that he was here, that he would never leave him.
When the hug was broken, Jamie could see more of the Old Jack return than ever before, he could see some mischief in Jack's eye's, and a tiny bit of fun return to his face.
"I…. Love.. you to Jamie" Jack replied, and Jamie's heart soured, so he wasn't alone, dirty. Like his parents kept claiming.
High above Manny smiled down on the scene, moving his attention to the moping Guardians.
(Guardians)
North hadn't made any toy's in three days, Tooth hadn't return to the Tooth Palace nor Bunny to the Warren. Sandy had simply waved his arm, trying to weave out Jack's dreams from the rest, but as will all previous attempts to find him (Including sending Baby Tooth, who had a knack for finding the Spirit), had been stopped by Manny, it was clear that he wanted Jack's location to remain a secret until the time was right.
They all sat around the Massive 'Guardian' Table, which today had a Guest, Tulip Spring, the self dubbed 'Queen of Spring-Time', she was expecting to find Jack waiting to talk with her about him 'helping' to change the seasons. The Guardians all knew she had a massive crush on Jack, though he was uninterested in her, she wasn't his type.
"When is he going to return?" Tulip asked.
"When is ready" North replied, grimacing.
"Oh, where is he now?" Tulip asked,
"Somewhere cold" Bunny replied, knowing how much Tulip (Like himself) HATED Snow, but she fancied Jack Frost….. go figure.
"Oh. Let me know when he returns" Tulip replied walking out of the room,
"Thank Manny she's gone" Tooth replied,
No Problem
"Manny!" The Three (Speaking) Guardians called out rushing to en-circle the light,
Good Day my Friends.
"What has gotten you all so happy today Manny?" Bunny asked,
The Plan is moving faster than I thought possible, you may have Jack back by the end of the week.
"Really?" Tooth asked, "When can we see him?"
In Four Days.
"Right, Book that day off Mates, we've got some Ques.." Bunny started.
NO! no Questions, it will be just to check he is ok.
"Oh, alright" Tooth replied, looking up at the light,
"Where is Jack?" North asked,
Manny waited a moment before answering, Burgess.
"He is with Jamie" Tooth smiled, and Sandy nodded, smiling.
Yes
With that The Guardians all rushed off, they had a million things to do before Christmas or visiting Jack, now they had a deadline.
