Accidentally in love (mxm)

Chapter 21

Ready to kill, Jack smashed his way into Black's cave, only to pause dead as he found himself surrounded by the other Guardians, all their weapons raised and aimed at him. 

"Jack!" North was the first to drop his weapon as delight swept over his dark features, and a moment later Jack found himself crushed in the man's oversized arms.

The others followed swiftly, relief washing over their grim faces.

"Jack, are you alright?" Tooth asked with worry, flittering around them until North released him. "Are all your teeth still in?" She grabbed Jack's jaw and forced his mouth open.

"Ow. Yes. I'm fine." Jack pushed her aside unnecessarily roughly. "What are you all doing here? Where's Black?" He was still mad at them and didn't actually want to see them. He wanted to fight Black on his own.

"Did the potion wear off yet?" Aster asked quietly, giving him a suspicious look.

Everyone else also paused, looking at him expectantly.

"Yes, it wore off. Thanks a lot for that," Jack snapped at Tooth who flinched a little.

"I'm sorry, Jack. That wasn't supposed to happen. Are you alright? Did Pitch hurt you in any way?" She asked carefully, looking awkward.

"No. I'm fine," Jack growled, unwilling to admit just how hurt he truly was. Then again, she was probably referring to something else.

"Are you sure?" North boomed grimly. "He didn't try anything funny, did he?" He asked grimly, crossing his arms. Apparently, Tooth had told them some of the things Black had said to her... Great.

Jack had never been so grateful for his cool demeanor which kept him from blushing furiously.
"No. Nothing happened," he lied as calmly as he could. The last thing he needed was for the Guardians to know that he had had amazing sex with that execrated Pitch Black.

"We are going to find him and make him pay for what he did!" Tooth yelled furiously, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"We certainly will," North agreed fiercely. "Jack, do you have any idea where he could be?"

They all stared at him expectantly.

He should tell them about the island. Their powers weren't weakened by heat, so they could take him out there. Except he didn't want that; he wanted to confront Black alone. Also, because he was terrified Black would tell them what really happened and that was something he could never ever allow.

"If I knew of any other place, I wouldn't have come here. What are you all doing here anyway?" he returned to his earlier question.

"We came to save you!" Tooth said eagerly.

Jack wanted to snort. Oh, sure, now they wanted to save him. After the curse wore off. "What took you so long?" he snapped, unable to stop himself.

"Pitch is hard to find. We were looking for you since the moment you disappeared, but we had no trace of you anywhere. Where did he take you?" North insisted.

Jack shrugged. "Nowhere in particular. We just followed the night, that's all." He felt terrible for lying to the only friends he had, but what choice did he have? It's not like he could tell them what really happened... Not only because he wanted to fight Black by himself, but also because he would die of humiliation if any of them ever found out more than they already knew.
It was bad enough he had been whining to Tooth about how much he loved and missed Black on that one day... And how she had seen them kissing. Black grabbing his ass... She had probably told the others about it too.
Damn that Pitch Black.
