Do You Believe? (Jack Frost x Reader)

Chapter 9

  "JACK?!"
The Guardian of Fun chuckled and lifted a non-existent hat to you, as you both continued to fall. Your eyes were wide, half filled with tears as you stared at him, jaw hanging.
"I'm glad the others told me to fly out with you. We lost sight of you once you went out of that window~" Jack chuckled, before in a split second his eyebrows shot up and he grabbed your arm, pulling you smack-bang into his chest. You let out a small shriek, surprised by this movement, as your fall came to a sudden halt, for Jack had decided it'd be best not to continue with the descend, especially after catching glimpses of the treacherously sharp ice formations waiting beneath them.
"Not as deep as I thought it'd be..." He muttered, referring to the cavern before glancing at you as you were staring at the large blade of ice Jack had pulled you away from. Had you continued falling, there was no doubt that you'd be like a piece of meat on a kebab stick.
"Jesus..." You mumbled, before gulping and looking up at Jack, wrapping your arms around his neck. "C-Could you get us out of here? Now, please." You smiled weakly at him, you stomach churning as he grinned in reply and shot upwards. When he held you like this, with his arm wrapped tightly around your waist, you felt your face burn up and there was a tight feeling in your chest. It really made you wonder if you actually liked---
"Of course not!" You yelled out loud, shaking your head quickly, causing Jack to jump, startled by your sudden outburst. You realised what you had just said and covered your mouth before muttering, "S-Sorry, I was just...Um...."
Jack chuckled, taking your stuttering into stride, not dwelling upon the matter any further as he continued to fly up, looking towards the clouded sky. But, his expression changed quickly as you both neared the entrance of the ice cavern, for he could only wear a frown as he heard you whisper,
"I'm a nuisance, aren't I?"
Jack looked at you and his brows furrowed. "(y/n), it's not your fault you were dragged out of the window. It's Manny's." He told you, and you gave a sigh.
"Not what I meant, Jack. I mean...look at me! I'm just a girl with a some self-defence skills and a shard of star-whatever that I don't know how to use!" You exclaimed, suddenly infuriated with yourself, as Jack slowed the flight once you hit the open air. "I'm useless."
Jack frowned as he began to lower you both to the snow covered ground, eyes hard as ice. With the hints of a smirk tweaking the corners of his mouth, Jack dropped you into the nearest snow drift. You gasped before hitting the snow face first with a soft thud, yet instead of getting up, you simply laid there, glad North had given you such warm clothing. You heard a snicker in front of you and slowly raised you head, glaring straight ahead at the familiar pair of blue orbs.
"May I ask why you did that?" You questioned, your expression clearly revealing how unimpressed you were with his past action. Jack chuckled before flopping down onto the snow next to you. You frowned slightly, rolling over so that you were laying on you back next to the Guardian.
"I just wanted to see you laugh." At this your face turned sour and you propped yourself onto your elbows to shoot another glare at him. "My plan didn't work though..." He cringed sheepishly, before peeking at your annoyed poker face, and grimacing slightly. "And now you want to kill me, right?"
It was at this, that a smile crept onto your face and you found yourself chuckling despite yourself. "Nah, not worth the effort~" You replied, gaining a feigned gasp from the frost sprite.
"Your harsh words wound me~!" He proclaimed dramatically, clutching the hoodie covering his chest as he faked heart ache. You giggled and clutched some of the snow before dropping it onto his face and rubbing it in. Jack let out a gasp before grinning.
"Alright. Bring it, girlie~!" He chuckled as he got up, taking a handful of snow and rolling it into a ball. By this point you were also getting up, but when you raised your head to set your eyes on the 'enemy', a snow ball hit you square in the face. The shock of it sent you falling backwards onto your behind before you wiped the snow from your face and gathered some snow in your hand.
"Oh, you are so dead, Jack Frost~"

"They seem to be having fun~" Tooth chuckled from her perch on the window sill, turning to look at the Sandman besides her grinning at him. He nodded his head before smirking and forming two figures resembling you and Jack, and then a heart blossoming above each of your heads. The Tooth Fairy giggled before her eyes flickered over to her fairies and she quickly ordered, "Ah, 4 molars in London, Kensington."
The fairies nodded, chirping once or twice before two of them zoomed away, leaving only three remaining. Tooth smiled softly and turned to look back at the two children playing about in the snow. "I wonder what Manny told her...." She mumbled to herself, surprised when a voice behind her sounded, causing the feathers on her shoulders and head to jerk softly.
"I wonder that too, but we can only wait for her to tell us. Perhaps it is personal matter?" North pondered having also approached the window to look at You and Jack mucking around. "But Jack seems keen to impress her, yes?" North chuckled, Tooth and Sandy joining in before---
"How are you guys so calm?!" Bunnymund exclaimed, jumping over to them. He was rather shaken up. Apparently, he'd heard part of Manny's message when he had fallen into a spot of moonlight, and from what he heard, it wasn't good. "I don't know what Pitch is up to, but I'm worried about (y/c). She's still just a normal kid!" He growled angrily, eyes flicking towards the window urgently.
"Bunny..." Tooth sighed before flitting over to him, leaving Sandy and North by the window, who were now making plans for Christmas Eve, for Santa needed the children to be sleeping when he arrived to deliver gifts. The Tooth Fairy gently guided Bunnymund over to the balcony before wrapping her arms around him in a light embrace. "Bunny, you really are such a worry wart. Don't worry about (y/c). She may be a kid, but she's still a strong girl. Okay? Besides, she's got us to take care of---" Tooth's comforting was cut short as a loud scream sounded and Sandy shot past, heading for the exit, North quickly ordering a few Yetis to gather arms.
"North! What is it?!" Bunnymund exclaimed, both he and Tooth wearing surprised expressions, eyes filled with concern.
"Nightmares."
