Chapter 8: Day at the frozen pond

Jack was on his way home, Bunny's words still fresh in his mind. He couldn't believe that Bunny was such a bastard. They've only know each other for 2 weeks, who does he think he is. Jack let out a sigh, trying to calm his anger before his powers would act up again, as they had done back when Bunny snapped at him in the school hallway. The wind started to dance worriedly around him, he said in a low whisper "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just a bit shocked, that's all." He reassured the wind.

Once he was home, he went straight into the garden, perching himself on his usual rock by the pond. He closed his useless eyes, taking in all the sounds the wind brought him. He heard a voice that made him frown in displeasure. The voice belonged to Bunny who, much to his surprise was talking with a very furious Tooth. "Bunny how could you do that to Jack? What did he ever do to you? His done nothing but help you out, being friend to you and you just shove him into the lockers, shouting at him!" Tooth yelled at the Australian teen. "If he is such a nice guy, then why does he not even spare you as much as a glance? It's like he doesn't even care about you at all!"

Bunny was about to say more but didn't get the chance as Tooth gave him a head-turning slap on the cheek. It took him a few seconds to realize Tooth actually hit him, but when he turned his head back towards her, planning to give the girl a piece of his mind. He became speechless when he noticed Tooth was about to cry. Her expression was a mix of rage and hurt as the tears ran down her face. She walked away not wanting to even look at his face.

Jack couldn't help but smile at that, having heard the entire conversation. He felt Tooth approaching a few moments later and he turned to face her as she came closer. "Thanks for defending me, Tooth" Jack smiled softly, almost sad at her. She gave him a sheepish smile as she said, "you heard us, huh?" Jack just nodded. Tooth joined him on his rock, before pulling him into a hug. Startling him slightly as he hadn't expected it, but one he happily returned. After they broke out of their hug, Jack laid his head down on her lap, 'looking' straight into hers with his icy blue eyes, which Tooth loved so much. She gently began to stoke his white locks, instantly calming both teens down.

Having been blind all his life, Jack couldn't help but love those soft and tender touches. It somehow reassured him that someone is actually there to notice him and give a damn about him. A rare thing for him as no one but Tooth and his family did. While they sat like this they both remembered the day, they became a couple.

It was near the end of February, yet winter was still in full swing. The sound of giggling could be heard coming from the pond. Jack, Tooth and Emma was skating on the frozen pond. "Jack, catch me!" Emma squealed in mirth as she skated towards him at full speed. Before Jack even got the chance to react, she already knocks them down on the ice. Tooth burst out laughing at the adorable scene, Emma joining her shortly after.

Jack frowned at Tooth and Emma in mock annoyance before he burst out laughing himself. Jack helped Emma up before he stood up himself. He took Emma's hands and started towing her around on the ice with practiced ease. Tooth smiling at the adorable siblings, wishing she had a little sister like Emma. After about an hour of playing on the ice, the three decided it was time for a break. Emma was the first to take off her skates and run back inside to get warm, leaving the two teens alone on the ice.

"She is such a sweet heart," Tooth cooed, as she watched Emma ran back inside. Jack just smiled fondly before nodding in agreement. The two teens started to head over to the rocks where they left their shoes. On the way, Tooth lost her balance on a sudden change on the surface of the ice, causing her to fall. Jack was quick to react but wasn't fast enough to prevent the fall causing him to fall with her, but he did managed to cushion her fall.

Realizing that Jack cushioned her fall, she immediately got off him, blushing furiously. "I'm so sorry. I should have…" she was about to continue into what would most likely be an apologetic ramble, but she was caught off by Jack pulling her into a hug, chuckling slightly "it's okay. I'm just happy you weren't hurt." He started pulling out of the hug but before he let go, he cupped her cheek with his hand. Caressing it softly with his thump, before he slowly began to move closer to her. Both teens closed their eyes as they got closer, already aware what the other wanted.

As their lips touched, everything around them ceased to exist. Both relishing the taste of the other's lips. Nothing had ever felt so right to them and as they broke apart, both teens began to smile. Tooth looked straight into Jack's icy blue eyes, which no longer scared her as they used to, she now found them strangely enchanting. She truly wished he was able to look back into her own, but she realized that it was impossible, but it still saddened her greatly.

The moment was broken when they heard a sudden "eeeww!" both teen blushed madly as they scrambled apart and got back on the feet, only to find Emma staring at the two teens with disgust of what she had just seen them do. "I was wondering what took you two so long, so I came back to fetch you. I didn't expect this!" she said as shook her head. Her face grimacing, as she tried to shake the feeling off.

She went back inside, not wanting to see that again. When Emma was gone, the two stunned, blushing teens burst out laughing. Jack was the first to calm a bit "Sorry, but I'm afraid she doesn't like the sudden competition for my affections" he joked, causing Tooth to laugh even harder. "You're certainly right about that, but it's so cute how much she loves her brother." Tooth cooed. Jack suddenly moved closer again dropped down on one knee, taking her hand into his as he said, "so, you want to be my girlfriend?" he did the kneeling as a joke, just as much trying to be the gallant knight. The question however, was defiantly as serious as can be. "Do you even have to ask?" she said as she enveloped him into a hug.

Tooth, still stroking Jack's snow-white hair lovingly, suddenly looked down on him her face trying to conceal her mirth at the thought "you're planning something, aren't you?" Jack just smirked at her "you know me too well! Should I be flattered or scared?" he chuckled and Tooth joined him, knowing all too well that Jack was scheming a prank to get back at Bunny for what he did.

A/N: I'am so sorry i haven't updated for a while, but I ran into a damn writes block while working on this story... took ages to get back on track... or atleast i hope i did... i will leave that up to you guys...

anyways this chapter is kind of like a filler, but not one without a point. it was perfect for telling how the two first became a couple, hope it wasn't too cheesy though and it was necessary before the rivally between Jack and Bunny really starts up
