Apples & Foxes

Evajacks ~jealousy~

A/N: well after that last one we need a bit of joy don't we? Thank you to @youlooklikearat69 for giving me the idea for this one shot- hope you like it! (This is in Jacks' POV by the way and is fairly comedic coz why not so hehehehe) Enjoy you lot x

"I'm just saying, you've been staring at them for the past hour- go have some fun instead of brooding in the corner." I barely listen to LaLa, my jaw tight as I glare at the vampire smiling with my fox.

Luc, is a bastard. I hate him more than I do myself, and that is saying something. Evangeline giggles at something he said and by the look on LaLa's face I assume I look awfully close to murder. Too bad vampires can only be killed for a short period of time if you don't have a stake or fire- mind you maybe continuously killing him will be quite enjoyable. I am not jealous- I'm just annoyed he's making her laugh more than I can... and that she most likely still loves him... and that even though I literally had to save her from being bitten by him by nearly turning myself into a vampire she still talks to him inste- Fates. Maybe I am jealous.

What did you say jacks? I hear Evangeline's voice in my head and I swear out loud- why can she hear my thoughts?

Nothing, Little Fox- go back to talking with the vampire who nearly killed us both.

She glances at me and snorts a laugh, earning a strange confused look from Luc. I look away, taking a drink from my glass. Someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn, either about to deny another girl looking for a dance or a duke expecting congratulations for a marriage.

"Why were you glaring at Luc?" Evangeline is stood before me, doe eyes wide and innocent, round face and flushed cheeks framed by that gorgeous rose gold hair- I need a hobby.

"He nearly killed you and almost turned me into a vampire in the process." I reply, not really looking at her.

"Wait- are you jealous I was talking to him?" She asks innocently, a smile spreading across her pink lips- Fates, her lips. I groan.

"You're mine, remember?" I growl out, and she blushes. I could look at her for more than seven seconds and this girl could get flustered.

"So you are jealous?" She concludes, ignoring her flush.

"Fates are very possessive." I finish my drink, looking at her.

"Answer the question, Jacks." She giggles, prodding my chest.

"Yes- I am jealous." I grit between my teeth.

"Aw- but like you said he tried to kill us both... why would you be jealous?" She looks curious, looking up at me.

"You still love him." I reply deadpan, ignoring how strangely honest that was- I'm going soft.

"Jacks," she laughs slightly. "He was my first love -I turned myself to stone for him- I can't just stop loving him. What I feel for the vampire Luc over there is not the same for what I felt for my best friend Luc... or what I feel for you." She looks down, quite red. It's adorable. "Still jealous?" She asks when I don't say anything.

"Hmm." I reply.

"Look, I'll prove it-" Evangeline goes on her tiptoes, placing delicate hands on my shoulders, and presses her lips to my cheek. To my great annoyance, my heart flutters quickly in my chest. "See? I wouldn't even go that near Luc, whether he was a vampire or- hmph-"

EVANGELINE'S POV

"See? I wouldn't even go that near Luc, whether he was a vampire or- hmph-" I get cut off by Jacks kissing me.

Jacks is kissing me.

I am kissing Jacks.

I am kissing the prince of hearts.

And he's kissing me back.

Am I going to die?

Fates, it's worth it.

Snap out of it, Evangeline.

He pulls away quickly and I don't drop dead in his arms, which are wrapped around my waist. I can feel the heated gaze of Luc on my back, but that is not the cause for the thumping of my heart in my ears, nor my heavy breathing. I am not dead- and Jacks is... smirking?

"You knew I wouldn't die." I say, although I can't find it in my heart to sound annoyed- Jacks just kissed me.

"Yes." He says, his eyes dark and lovely and why aren't we still kissing?

"How long did you know?" I ask, curious as to how long he's been lying to me.

"I had a hunch but then LaLa convinced my last night. I was going to tell you but then that was talking to you." I laugh at his hate for Luc, and then I spot LaLa in the corner smirking over her drink.

"You can kiss me." I say, giddy.

"Yes, Little Fox, I can kiss you."

"But what about-" I start, confused as to how anyone else he kisses except Donatella dies, and except me- but what does that even mean?

"Donatella? I do not know. Fates, I've wanted to do that for a while." Jacks says, a smile in his eyes.

I wrap my arms around his neck, butterflies in my stomach and head. He smirks at my eagerness and leans down, are lips connecting again. This time, it lasts longer and I feel a fluttering knot in the bottom of my stomach, wanting to deepen the kiss even more and stay like this for ever- his tongue explores my mouth as I tangle my hands in his hair and I think of the words he spoke at the very beginning of our journey: 'it's not a real kiss if there isn't any tongue.' I can tell I'm blushing- a lot.

There's a cough from next to us and I rip myself away from Jacks, seeing LaLa, Luc, Robin and fifty other pairs of eyes looking at us. My face flushes with embarrassment- I'd completely forgotten we weren't alone, and by the strange mix of cockiness and dazed haze on Jacks face, he'd forgotten too.

A/N: thoughts? I enjoyed that quite a lot. Maybe I'll do a second part- who knows? If I do it'll probably be a little more saucy haha. Thank you so much for reading! Don't forget to vote! By loves <3
