(Y/n).
Where have you gone?
Why did you leave me, (y/n)?
I will do whatever it takes to find you.
Then we can be together again.....forever...
Your (e/c) eyes shot open as you sharply inhaled a shaky breath. Looking into the freshly lit sky, you could easily tell it was morning. You sat up slowly and ran your fingers through your messy (h/c) hair. 'What was that about? ' You thought to yourself as you frowned.
"OW!" You exclaimed as you instantly placed your hand on the back of your head where you were hit. 'Snow?'"Morning, Angel Cake!" A familiar voice greeted cheerfully. You looked up to see Jack Frost flying towards you. You glared at him for a minute before replacing it with a smirk. Even though you were kind of annoyed with him for nearly knocking your brain with a snowball so early in the morning, you couldn't bring yourself to be mad. "Morning, Frost Bite! What do I owe this fine visit so early in the morning?" You greeted while plastering a fake grin on your face. Jack smirked at you, catching your sarcasm."No reason. Just thought I'd just come to check on you." He said smiling sweetly. Knowing the real reason he came to see you, you glared at back at him. "I'm still not becoming a guardian." Jack's smile was immediately wiped off his face. You rolled your eyes as you stood to your feet and took off into the sky. Jack ran a hand through his soft white hair as he huffed out a frustrated sigh. 'This girl is frustrating.' He thought but a smirked soon crept on his face right after. 'But that's what makes her interesting.' He thought as he took off after you.
You really didn't want to be bothered with this, especially not at this time of morning. You glanced in the corner of your eye to see that he was following you, but you tried your best to ignore it. "Where ya going, Angel Cake?" You nearly cringed at the nickname but forced yourself not to. "Don't worry about it." You snapped, hoping he would get the hint. Unfortunately for you, Jack was persistent. "Too late. I'm already worried." Jack said. Honestly, you didn't have an idea of where you were going. You were so intent on trying to get away from the winter spirit that hasn't thought of a destination yet. You weren't going to let him know that though. Little did you know, Jack could already tell you didn't have any idea where you were going but declined to let you play it off.
After a moment of thinking, an idea popped into his head. "Follow me." He said as he started flying ahead of you. Part of you felt skeptical but your curiosity leads you to follow him. "Where are we going?" Jack only chuckled. "Don't worry about it."
~Time Skip~
After flying for what felt like forever, you finally arrived in a small unfamiliar neighborhood. "Where are we?" You asked as your (e/c) eyes wandered around. "It's a neighborhood, duh!" You glared at the winter spirit's smart remark. "I knew that, Genius! I meant what are we doing here!" Jack only laughed at your annoyance. Before he could answer your question, the sound of laughter could be heard nearby. You both turned around to see children running out of their homes and into the snowy weather. Some of them began to build a snowman while others either made snow angels or catching falling snowflakes on their tongues.
You smiled at the sight before you. Seeing happy children always warmed your heart. "You know, this the neighborhood where I met the first kid that actually believed in me." You shot him a surprised look for you couldn't believe what you had heard. "Really?!" Jack smiled nostalgically and nodded his head. "Yea, it was back when Pitch last attacked and also the time when I first became a guardian." "Later, there was another kid who believed in me. She was a lot like you actually." He said, smiling at you. "Pffft, I doubt that." Jack chuckled before continuing. "Sadly, I didn't know her that long." You tilted your head at him. "How come?" Jack's smile faded away as he glanced at the ground. "She disappeared....and when I found her years again later she was...different...." You were almost didn't want to ask but you did anyway. "What do you mean 'different'?" He hesitated before answering. "....she didn't believe in me anymore..."
You could tell this hurt, Jack. So you decided to change the subject by asking the main question that's been prying on your mind. "Jack, what's it like to be believed in?" His smile soon returned to his face as he looked at you. "It makes you feel so alive inside. Like you actually have a purpose." You shifted your gaze to the ground. 'I wish I knew how that feels.' As if reading your mind, Jack placed a reassuring hand on your shoulder. "Don't worry. You'll get that feeling one day." You nodded but on the inside you doubted it.
Suddenly, a mischievous glint appeared in the winter spirit's blue eyes. You watched as he made a magically snowball like the one he made when you two first met. Before you could ask what he was up to, he chucked it at one of the poor unsuspecting kids, causing a massive snowball fight to break out. "Seriously, Jack?" You asked trying not to sound amused. "WAHH!" Before you had a chance to react, Jack swept your legs from under you with his staff, causing you to fall flat on your back. "OW! WHY?!" Jack laughed hysterically while clutching his stomach. As you stood back up, you took the moment to throw a snowball at the white-haired boy, but to your dismay, he dodged out of the way just in time. "Hey!" He exclaimed as he made a snowball of his own and tossed it at you. "Ack!" The snowball was coming right for your face but you blocked it with one of your enormous wings. "Hey, that's cheating!" Jack pouted while you just stuck your tongue out at him. "So, what you gonna do about it, Frost Bite?" You asked, taking off into the air. Jack smirked to himself. 'I'll show you what I'm going to do about it.' He thought as he flew after you.
You were flying away as fast as you could while dodging snowballs that were being thrown at you. "You can run but you can't hide!" Jack yelled. Glancing back him, you smirked mischievously. "Oh really?" Without warning, you swiftly dived into the forest of trees below, completely catching him off guard. Jack followed you into the forest but stopped when you were nowhere in sight. 'Ok, I was wrong. She can hide.' Jack thought as he walked around searching for the (h/c) haired angel. Oblivious to him, you were quietly sitting on a branch in one of the large trees. "Where are you, Angel Cake?~" Jack sang playfully. A stifled giggle escaped your lips, but little did you know it didn't go unheard.
You peeked from your hiding spot to catch a glimpse of where Jack was but was shocked to see that he was gone. 'Where did he go?' You thought as confusion washed over you. "Gotcha!" You gasped in surprise as you were tackled to the ground, causing both of you to roll downhill and land in the soft snow. You both looked at each other and fell into a laughing fit.
After calming down, you both laid beside each other and enjoyed the fresh winter air. Jack glanced over happened to notice the glittering of your necklace. "Hey, I been meaning to ask you about that necklace of yours."You picked up the little angel charm and held it in the sunlight for you to see. "Oh...this? I'm not sure what's the meaning behind it." "Have you ever tried to take it off?" He asked, quizzically. You nodded. "I did once...but the second I started taking it off, I instantly started to feel weak." You frowned at the memory. 'Hmm, so her necklace is the source of her power?' Jack thought to himself. "Honestly, I wish I knew more about it. I don't know why but for some reason it feels like it's really important to me in a way....." You trailed off sadly. Moments like this when you wondered who you really were.
"Another question, if I may?" You giggled at Jack's playful tone. "Go ahead." "So we already know that powers consist of flight and guns, right?" You nodded. "What else can you do?" You began counting each ability on your fingers. "Well, I can transform my guns into a sword and shield, heal myself and others, and use my voice to get others to listen to my demand." Jack stared at you in shock. "Woah seriously?! You gotta show me that last one someday!" You couldn't help but laugh. "Sure."
Jack stood up and extended a hand towards you. Without hesitation, you took it, allowing him to help you up. As soon as you were on your feet, your bright shiny (e/c) eyes happened to meet Jack's beautiful icy blue ones. No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't look away from them.
"Uh...um...." You stammered as a pink tint dusted your cheeks. A low chuckle escaped Jack's lips as he moved a strand of your (h/l) (h/c) hair from in front of your face. Feeling his cool breath tickle your face made you blush more. Before you knew it, he began to inch closer and closer, causing your head began to run wild with questions. 'OMG! What is he doing?! Is he really going to kiss me?! Does that mean he has feelings for me?! Do I have feelings for him?! Should I kiss him back?! What should I do?!' By this time, Jack's lips were only mere centimeters away from yours. The second his soft lips were about to meet yours......
'I can't do this!' Without warning, you quickly averted gaze to the darkening sky. "Wow! Is it that late already?!" You said with a hint of panic in your voice. Jack sighed as he pulled away. "Yea...you're right..." Hearing the hint of disappointment in his voice caused your heart to clench with guilt.
"Well...see you later..." He said as he turned around to leave."Jack wait!" You exclaimed as you quickly grabbed his wrist. Jack stopped and turned towards you. A smirk was etched on his features. "That's the first time you called me by my name." You rolled your eyes at him even though you had to admit that you were a bit surprised yourself. "D-do you think North wouldn't mind if...I stayed at the North Pole...?" You asked shyly. Shocked by your question, Jack stared at you for a moment before smiling warmly at you. "Let's go find out."
~Time Skip~
The flight to the workshop was silent and not a comfortable silence either. Jack hasn't said a word to you which Was very unusual for him. You couldn't help but worry. 'Is he mad at me?' After what felt like forever, you both finally arrived at the workshop. You entered the workshop to find it busy and full of life as usual. Jack walked up to one of the little elves that were carrying plate that seemed to have had cookies crumbs on it. "Hey, where's North?" The elf point to a door at the top of a staircase. "In his office? Thanks." Jack said as he began walking up the stairs with you following behind him.
North was in the middle of carefully crafting toy train out of ice. That is until you two showed up. "What's up, North!" Jack greeted as he barged into the room. The sudden outburst made poor North to drop the delicate toy, causing it to shatter into a million pieces. He sighed heavily before smiling at his visitors. "Greetings, Jack! And welcome back, (y/n)!" North greeted back. "Nice to see you again." You said with a warm smiled grazed on your lips."How can I help you two?" He asked. "Actually, our dear angel here was wondering if she could stay here from now on." Jack said, placing a hand on your shoulder. North gave a hearty chuckle. "Of course! Phil, show her to the guest room. (Y/n), if you need anything, feel free to come ask but please knock first." North said. You gratefully smile and nodded. "Thank you." The yeti known as Phil walked up to you and grunted something you didn't understand. You assumed he wanted you to follow him, so you did.
You followed him down a large corridor that was full of wonderful Christmas decorations. 'Everything is so festive here.' You thought, smiling to yourself. You both stopped at the last door at the end of the of the corridor. Phil looked at you and grunted more words you didn't understand. You assumed he was telling you to go look inside. Without hesitation, you turned the doorknob and opened the door revealing a beautiful room You walked in, (e/c) eyes admiring the room you would call your own.
"Thank you, Phil." You said, smiling sweetly at the yeti. Phil returned your smile before leaving you alone.
You continued to admire your room. 'I never had a room before.' You thought. You walked over to your bedroom balcony to get a look at the view. 'It's beautiful.' You closed your eyes and smiled contently, feeling the cool, gentle breeze tickle your face. Honestly, you were still feeling skeptical about living with these strangers. The truth is you were quite shaken up by the unsettling dream you had the night before. Your content smile turned into a frown at the memory. All you could think about was that mysterious, ominous voice calling your name....wondering who you left...begging you to return to them....promising to be together forever.....
"How do you like the room?" You were started by the intruding voice. You whipped your head around to find the familiar white-haired boy leaning in the doorway. Smiling, you nodded your head. "I love it! I've never had my own room before!" You said happily. Jack smiled at you but with a forced smile. This did not go unnoticed by you as you looked at him with worried (e/c) eyes. Jack's eyes met yours for a mere second he adverted them to the floor. "I should get going." You watched as he began walking out. "Right....well...good night, Frost Bite." You said, hoping to lighten the tension. Jack paused but didn't turn around to look at you. "Good night, (y/n)...." With that, he closed the door behind him leaving you at loss of words.
'He didn't even call me Angel Cake that time...' You didn't know why but you felt a slight pain in your chest. An exhausted sigh escaped your lips as you walked over to the bed. You plopped down on your back, allowing your sore wings to rest on the soft (f/c) sheets. Your (e/c) eyes stared up at the ceiling, realizing the stars you once always stared up at were no longer there. 'Today has been stressful. Jack is suddenly acting weird now. Was he really trying to kiss me? Does he have feelings for me? I thought he hated me. If not, he must definitely hate me now. But do I feel the same for him? Well...he is pretty cute. Especially with that soft snow white hair....and those beautiful icy blue eyes and.....UGH! I'M SO CONFUSED!' You ran your slender fingers through your soft (h/c) hair and let out a frustrated growl. 'Aside from that, what was that weird dream about? Who was that voice and what do they want with me?' You rolled over and closed your tired eyes, letting sleep take over.
'Don't worry. Things will get better, right...?'
