This is set... about a few weeks after the last maybe? Possibly? Either way, it's been quite some time, and Im trying to slot them in around Easter and Christmas and such...

Jack grinned as he watched the children playing in the freshly laid snow. The happy squeals that came from where he had just started a snowball fight had him laughing, and he was just about to leave when he heard a very familiar chirping and turned to see a shivering Baby Tooth flying towards him.
He blinked, before snatching her from the air and taking off his hoody, a t-shirt on beneath it, and wrapping her in it.
"Damn it, BT, you're half frozen. What brings you out here?"
She chirped, and Jack frowned.
"Tooth? What about her?"
Baby Tooth chirped again, and Jack nodded.
"She's overworking and won't rest again?"
Another chirp and he nodded.
"Okay, I'll speak to her... Come on, let's get you back before your wings freeze again..."

Seriously, Baby Tooth must have been flying in the colder skies for hours and she was shivering pretty much until they reached Tooth's palace, by which time Jack had been reduced to taking off the T-shirt as well, as it was so hot.
He landed on the room, and let the wind carry him down, drifting inside.
He was met with a crowd of worried looking fairies, and Baby Tooth flew up, telling them to let him through.
Jack drifted through the palace, until Baby Tooth gestured to the Tooth Sorting room and Jack looked inside to see Tooth, clearly exhausted, and feverishly checking over stacks of teeth.
He landed lightly, and knocked on the door, causing Tooth to look up and smile.
"Jack! Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Someone else nearly wasn't though."
She blinked, and Jack elaborated.
"One of the coldest places in the world at the moment, and Baby Tooth went there to find me. She was worried about you..."
"I-I'm fine! Is Baby Tooth ok-?"
"She's fine. Wouldn't have been though if she hadn't found me when she did... I thought you said you wouldn't overwork yourself again?"
She blinked at the serious tone in the usually fun, mischievous boy, and sighed.
"I'm fine... I told Baby Tooth I was fine."
"She didn't seem to think so... Tooth, you look like you're about to fall from the air..."
"I'm fine! There was just a little more to do the last few weeks-"
"Weeks? I said you could come find me if you needed help-"
"I'm fine!" Tooth burst out, feverishly, and glared at the winter spirit. "I don't need to be told how to do my job when I've been doing it for years! Why don't you go off and have some fun like you usually do!?"
She froze when she realised how that sounded, and, sure enough, Jack blinked, before his eyes took on the cold, glacier look that shielded the fact he was hurting. Still, he didn't leave.
"You need to get some sleep, Tooth... If not, I'll get Sandy in here to throw dream sand at you."
Baby Tooth flew to her, angrily chirping in her ear, and she nodded.
"Okay... Jack, I-"
"Forget it... I-er... I've got to go."
It was only then that she noticed how warm he looked, and she could have smacked herself.
It was the middle of summer, in one of the hottest places in Asia, and the winter spirit had come here anyway.
She went to fly towards him, but he backed away slightly, and she felt like crying.
Jack was right. If she'd been sleeping, she would not have said that... Jack wouldn't look like he was about to faint... Heck, he wouldn't have had to come here at all!
"Go on Jack, it's too hot for you here..."
"Promise you'll get some sleep...?"
"Yeah, straight away..."
"Okay... Tell me if she doesn't BT..."
The small fairy gave a chirp, and shoved him towards the door, getting worried about the increase of heat on his skin. Jack grinned at her, before flying off, and letting the wind carry him, a little faster than normal due to the worry it seemed to have about its little spirit, until he was finally back in a colder climate and buried himself in a snowdrift for an hour or two.

A couple of days later, Tooth flew in the window at Santoff Claussen, and hurried to find North.
After she had found the huge guardian, she had told him what happened between her and Jack, and the other guardian was looking at her in disappointment.
"Tooth, this is big problem. You are not sleeping?"
"I'm fine now North..."
"But it should not have taken Jack almost going into comatose to make you fine. Was irresponsible and Jack and Baby Tooth could have been hurt."
"I know... He's okay though, right?"
"Yes. He came here two days ago and stayed the night. Looked tired and much hurt Tooth. Then he went and I have not seen him. Bunny might know where he is. Those two are close as brothers, though they do not admit it."
North smiled at the thought, until he thought back to how Jack had looked. He had said he was fine, but looked completely exhausted and seemed upset... Now he knew why. As for where the boy was now...
"Okay... What about what I said to him? He looked so hurt North..."
"Then you have to fix it. He has heart of gold. He will forgive you."
Tooth nodded, and caught the orb North threw to her.
She stated the destination, the warren, and flew through, letting it close behind her.
She flew down, and spotted Bunnymund sat on the edge of one of the dye lakes, relaxing in the few months lull that he always got after Easter.

He sat up as she arrived, and frowned at her, jabbing a paw.
"What did ya do to Jack? He came 'ere yesterday, looking completely outta sorts, and said something about needing a place to hang loose for a while. The only other thing I got was your name and somethin' about Baby Tooth..."
"I- I haven't been sleeping very well. Baby Tooth flew to find Jack, and brought him to the palace. He wasn't happy that she had had to fly to find him, and pretty much ordered me to get some sleep. Then I-I pretty much told him to go be his usual self as I did actual work... Or that's how it sounded. I didn't mean it but-"
"Didn't mean it?! There've been snowstorms over the mountains over there since 'e arrived! You know that only 'appens when 'e's upset Tooth!"
She nodded, her guilt notching even higher, and Bunnymund scowled at her, before opening a tunnel.
"I'm gonna tell him you're 'ere..."
Tooth nodded as Bunnymund left, and started pacing in the air. It was several minutes later that Bunny appeared again.
"Jack said 'e'd fly down. You'd better try and sort this, Tooth."
She nodded and Bunnymund left again, still not happy with the other guardian.
Tooth was flitting back and forth nervously for a few minutes, until Jack silently landed beside her, his emotionless mask in place. She hated it when he wore that expression.
"Hey Tooth..."
"Jack... Oh Jack I'm sorry. I never meant what I said the other day... I didn't mean it to come out that way. I was just stressed and tired and... Well, it's no excuse-"
"It's okay..." Jack's expression had lightened slightly, though he still seemed angry about something.
"It wasn't just that. It's Baby Tooth. She might have frozen if she didn't find me when she did! She could barely fly..."
"I know... I'm never going to let it happen again, I promise. I'm sorry Jack. And making you come to the palace in the middle of summer... You could have-"
"I'm fine..."
She looked sceptical, but he gave her a grin, all of the hurt gone from his eyes to be replaced by their usual sparkle.
"Honest..." He held his arms out for a hug, and she quickly pulled him into one.
"I'm sorry Sweet tooth..."
"It's okay... Honest... Just be more careful?"
She smiled.
"And I thought I was supposed to be the parental figure..."
Jack grinned, before smiling as Bunnymund arrived back.
"Ya feelin betta Frostbite?"
"Yeah... Sorry for the whole storm thing..."
"Don't worry about it... Not like the mountains are used for anythin' anyway. Anyway, I thought you wanted a rematch with the Kickboxing?"
Jack grinned, and both other guardians smiled at seeing it again.
"Not fair. Kangaroo's are clearly gonna be better at kickboxing."
"Oi. Watch it snowflake... I'm not above getting the eggs to attack you..."
"Well, it's not like they can fly or-"
He blinked as several eggs appeared, all sporting golden wings, and Jack glared at the sky.
"Not fair Sandy!"
Laughter echoed as the golden guardian appeared, and gave a ridiculously innocent expression, causing Jack to laugh again.
"Yeah. Like anyone else can create golden wings..."
Tooth grinned as they had a very one sided argument, before realising she had to head back.
She gave Jack a quick hug, smiling at the wide grin, before flying down to Bunny, who had gestured for her.
"Yeah?"
"You're lucky he's so forgiving Tooth... You don't wanna risk ruinin' things."
"I know. I was stupid, I was irresponsible...It won't happen again Aster."
"Right... You'd better get going Tooth."
"Yeah." She waved to the other two, who were arguing about the possibility that the eggs could have evolved to grow wings, before flying off.
North and Bunnymund had been right.
And she had no intention of letting things repeat themselves...

She smiled as Baby Tooth chirped at her, as she arrived back into the palace, and nodded.
"Go on then... He's in the warren. Go say hi to Peter Pan, Tinkerbell..."
Baby Tooth chirped, giggling, as she zoomed off, and Tooth smiled, then yawned.
Maybe she ought to sleep for a bit...

Hmmm... A bit OOC? Im not sure... This one was kinda tricky to write.
And I think it's about time we learnt something else about Jack's past... Hmm... *lightbulb flicks on above my head*
Anyway, please review and let me know what you thought, or to give me any ideas!
Hopefully see y'all next chapter!
