RotG a snowy love story ch2

Feeling

Jack was playing with some kids and laughed happily as they threw snowballs at each other including Jack. As he got a break to walk out of the fight and just watched them his thoughts turn off to Wynne and where she could be right now not thinking a second that she would cross him just at that moment. He suddenly got tackled from behind and tries not to fall before he turned in that hug to see the one who it was: “It's you!” he laughs happily and hugged her back slightly taking off of the ground, “I was just thinking about you!”
“Really? That's funny.” she said smiling then she remembered she forgot something. “Oh! I didn't tell you my name yet. I'm Wynne.”
“Wynne... ...that's a good name...”
She blushed looking away and lets go a little: “Erm... thank you.. did I interrupt you at something? Playing with the kids?” she looked past him spotting the kids throwing snowballs at each other.
“It's fine. I was just taking a break.”
“You? Need a break? Are you okay?” she was confused about that and placed a hand at his forehead as if he could be ill but he shook his head.
“I'm fine really. But I would like to spend some time with you now.”
“That's sweet hang on.” she took her phone turning off to call her home: “Mom? Yeah it's me. I will be home late today. … don't worry I’ll take care about that.” she hanged off turning back to Jack with a smile. “Now I have all the time the world can lend us.”
He laughed a little: “Well good to know. So where to go?”
“Hm... why not staying here and play with the kids?”
“Because I would like to be alone with you.” She blushed at that not having expected that kind of words. He just smiled at her: “What about ice skating this time?”
“Wha-? Ice ska-?! I can't ice skate...” she looked sad being somehow embarrassed as she never got taught that.
“Well then I will teach you. I would like that.” he smiled trying to ease her as it worked perfectly.
“Really...? Thank you... well... that means I will have the best teacher ever.”
“Call me anything but teacher Wynne!” he laughed kissing her forehead.
She blushed slightly at the kiss looking down: “... Okay. Well you will catch me when I fall right?” she looked back up at him smiling as she trusted him very much.
“Yes I will I promise.” saying that he took her tight in his arms and starts to fly off.
“Where are you going? You know a place?”
“Yes. My lake is just perfect for this.”
“You're lake? Really? I feel honoured Jack...”
Jack smiled as she said so and already came to land on the ground but this time he didn't let go of her. She didn't mind it so she just looked around: “Erm... with what will we be skating...?”
“Sit down.” He said smiling at her as he forced himself to let go of her. She looked at him with confused eyes but does so wondering what he wanted. He knelt down in front of her and touched her sole as Skates of ice grew on them immediately.
“Oh that will do it.” She said chuckling before she stood up again trying to hold her control. He stood up too being ready to catch her but she didn't need it. “So, let's start, shall we?” she smiled at him taking his hand for support. He nodded once and walked to the frozen lake looking back at her before stepping onto it.
“Just let my guide you.” he said smiling and pulled her over the ice as she tried to skate in respond never stopping to look at her feet. Once she looked up at him he let go of her slowly: “You can do it, I'm with you.”
“Wo-wow!” she was scared but relaxed soon knowing him beside her and skated over the ice by herself and as she felt save she turned a circle around Jack. He laughed watching her do so and flies not moving away so she could do so and even stays there as she skated further away from him as she suddenly lost control and was about to fall but Jack hurried to catch her saving her from falling. As she realised she was laying in his arm she blushed not able to say anything. He just smirked at her not thinking of helping her up again before she looked away embarrassed.
“Th-thank you Jack…”
“I told you I’d catch you, didn’t I?” he helped her up again still holding her hands so she won’t fall back down already.
She looked down at his hands then up at him smiling: “Yeah… you’re awesome Jack.”
“It’s great to hear that from you Wynne.”
“Why…is it so special to hear it from me?”
“Well…” He closers to whisper in her ear, “Because you are special to me.” He chuckled flying to the end of the lake, “After all you are the only one at that age that can see me so far.” He laughed waiting for her and opens his arms, “Come here.”
She nodded and skated carefully to him and felt save just as she tottered and fell towards Jack sending both of them down into the snow. Jack laughed amused laying under her and she blushed before he stopped and just stared into her eyes with a soft smile. She stared back she couldn't help but doing so until he crawled away to stand up holding a hand out to her. She realised the situation before she took his hand and stood up with his help: “This was very nice. Thank you for showing it to me.”
“Oh no need to thank me. Fun is my job you know?” he chuckled leaning against his staff.
“Right.” she giggled slightly then realised she still had the ice skates on and set down in the snow to get them off. He went to kneel down at her side watching her try. She looked up noticing it's getting late and sighed then smiled at Jack: “Time is almost over... ...will you be back tomorrow?”
He moved closer sitting down in process and wrapped an arm around her touching her other side and smiled at her: “Hey listen. I will be here every day. And I will find you.”
“Awww Jack... that was so sweet...” she liked that touch but she didn't dare to tell him.
He suddenly dropped his staff placing his other hand around her as well. He liked this closeness, this feeling. She couldn't help but looking down at his lips. Not moving closer. Not moving away. Only a weak “Jack......” escaped her lips. Jack moved yet closer but suddenly a stream of sand crossed them as he followed it up into the sky.
“Sandman is early this time...”
“Sandman? … may I see him?”
Jack nodded and took his stuff so he could fly up but before that a cloud of sand lowered next to them exposing Sandman inside it. He made a hat out of sand and bowed like a gentleman.
“Oh hey there! You're Sandman?” Wynne asked.
Sandman waved smiling as Jack turned to him: “What are you doing here? Is something wrong?”
Sandman pointed at Wynne who blinked confused.
“What's with her?” Jack said as he sees Sandman pointing to the side. He sees an opened portal and two yeti with sacks at it's sides, “Ohho no. Ohhoho no. Honestly. You won't do that again.” He flew up but Sandman already threw a sand ball at him so he dropped down again sleeping.

Wynne poked his cheek to get him wake up. He did so soon after finding himself in a sack laying on the floor in Santa's toy factory. He dropped his head and sighed: “Great. Again.” he crawled out of the sack and stood up. “So what's the matter North?”
Wynne smiled at Jack like a child: “You look cute when you sleep...”
Jack stuttered not knowing what to say as he was blushing embarrassed. Tooth flew around Jack giggling: “Well I don't see a problem, they look so cute together~”
“Aww thanks Tooth.”
“Erm... by the way Wynne... you was already awake?”
“I never got knocked out to be exact,” Wynne said laughing, “and not shoved in a sack either.” She stuck her tongue out grinning amused.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah? Really?” he said hanging his head. She smiled petting his back then looked at Santa.
“She is human Jack. You shouldn't get too close to her.” North said with crossed arms as Sandman was flying next to him nodding with the same pose.
“What is the problem with that North? You talk about her like she is a monster.” Jack said walking in front of her protectively and frowned. “She is a friend of mine.”
“Just a friend? Hey mate, I don't want to crush your dreams but she is mortal,” Bunny said smirking at Jack, “She will die before this century ends while you stay like this.”
Jack looked shocked, he didn't realise that before and didn't know what to answer with.
“Erm... Jack? ...are you all right...?” Wynne walked up to him placing a hand on his shoulder in worry.
“Y-yeah I guess...”
Tooth flew up to the other guardians: “There is no need to be that mean. There is surely something that can be done.”
But Bunny answered walking up to her: “And what could that be huh?”
Tooth stayed silent as she didn't know how to answer until she got an idea turning to look up: “What if the man in the moon would choose her?” she turned back to the others. “She would be like us!”
“Pfft yeah. … like the man in the moon would choose her just because Jack's in love with her.” Bunny said turning off.
Jack blushed at that: “I-I'm not in- I mean I don't-” Jack flew up leaving the others... and Wynne behind. He was too embarrassed to think of Wynne and to get her home.
“Jack wait!” Wynne called after him but he was already gone. “... and who brings me home now...?”
North opened a portal and walked over to her petting her shoulder: “That way and you will be home.” he smiled at her but she just gave him an annoyed sound walking to the portal. She was pissed that they did that to Jack and she didn't understand it.
Meanwhile Jack stopped and looked up to the moon looking sad. He stared up silently before he hung his head sighing: “Can't you... do me just this one favour...?” he looked back up waiting for an answer. … but he didn't get any. He looked back down and flew off.
