"Yes!" you exclaim, and Jack's face glows with happiness. He pulls you into an embrace, and you feel his cold aura through your coat that you were given as a Christmas present last year, sending chills up your spine, but it doesn't bother you at all, weirdly enough. When you two let go of each other, you each stare into the other's eyes lovingly but awkwardly, not sure what to do now that you're in this situation.

"Um...so...," you begin, "bye?" You do have a job to do. As f/n Charity, the Guardian of Kindness, you do nice things for people, whether they believe in you or not, and you generally keep your weapons at your parents' house- although you know you'll have to move them eventually- since you usually have no need for them. You also kept your word to the Leprechaun of being her friend and helping her make other friends, so you visit her at least once a week.

As you start to fly off, however, Jack grabs you by the arm.

"Wait!" he says, and he pulls you back and kisses you. A tingling feeling spreads from your lips all the way to your toes, making you oddly feel both warm and cool at the same time. One of his loving arms is wrapped around your waist, and the other is touching the back of your head. You keep both of your arms around his neck for the few seconds that the kiss lasts, and then you both pull away.

"So, see you at North's Christmas party tonight?" you ask him.

"Yeah, see you there," he responds, and then you fly away, your heart pounding in your chest, looking forward to the party.
