Secrets

Since Jamie was able to see Jack that fateful Easter years ago they had become best friends. They told each other everything, their life stories, they're silliest thoughts and day dreams and deepest darkest secrets, well most; there were a few things from Jack's life as a spirit that was not appropriate for one as young as Jamie was and even when Jamie became a teen he avoided those stories. Eventually though Jack told the youth about how he became a spirit, about his human life and his own little sister. For the winter spirit that was a huge step and took a lot of courage. It was one thing for Jamie to know he was a spirit and Guardian but it was another for the boy to know Jack had died as a human to become what it was now. So it was a little shocking when he discovered Jamie was keeping a secret from him softly after his friend entered junior high, a secret that no amount of bribing seemed to get out of the youth.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Jack. Why would I keep secrets from my best friend?" Jamie countered when Jack tried interrogating him.

The frost child raised a questioning brow suddenly wondering if maybe it was his imagination. After all it wasn't as if he got to see Jamie all the time but when they did Jamie was usually talking his ear off about everything that had happened while Jack was away. Now, Jamie would only smile and ask how his duties were going, barely mentioning anything that had happened in the weeks since Jack's last visit.

"I don't know but you've been awfully quiet the last few times I've been here. Did I do something to upset you?" Jack asked, slightly worried that maybe their last snowball fight had gotten out of hand or that maybe he wasn't visiting enough.

Jamie almost looked panicked. "No, it's nothing like that. It's just complicated, okay?"

"Is someone picking on you at school? If there's a bully…"

Jamie shook his head and waved his arms to stop his friend. "No, no, it's nothing like that. Well there is a bully but he's terrified of Cupcake and won't touch us."

"So?"

"So, nothing. Jack, I don't need to tell you about every single thing that happens in my life," Jamie said, sounding slightly annoyed by the questions.

"Fine, I was just asking," Jack snapped back, also annoyed but only because he feared the boy was hiding something important from him. He turned on his heal and headed back to the window he had entered.

"Sophie lost a tooth," Jamie called, hoping to stop the winter sprite and easing his hurt feelings. "She tried staying up all night for Tooth but Sandy got to her first and made sure she was asleep. I'm pretty sure that's cheating. You know, teaming up like that. It's not as if Sophie doesn't know who they are."

"They just don't want her being over tired in the morning. It's hard to have pleasant dreams when you're over exhausted," Jack explained, pausing to look back. "Besides, if she was awake and Tooth came to personally collect her tooth she'd never leave. She adores Sophie. Heck, she wanted to keep her that time she wandered into the Warren."

Jamie gave a snort. "She's welcome to have her."

"Hey, kiddo, don't talk like that. She's your sister and you'll miss her in less than a day. I remember when my mother took Emma to visit a relative in the next village while I went hunting with my father, it was the worst weekend of my life and Emma could be annoying as hell when she wanted to be, but I'd give anything to have her back," Jack chastised both understanding and horrified by the idea of Jamie not wanting to be near his little sister.

"Maybe." The younger boy shrugged his thin shoulders and plopped down on his bed. "Hey, mom let me buy a new video game today. You want to try it out with me?" He held up a racing game and gave a coy smile. "Bet you can't beat me."

The eternal youth hesitated, one foot on the window ledge but if there was one thing he could never ignore was a challenge and Jamie knew that. Besides, Jamie was the only one who ever invited him to play video games. It wasn't as if he had such thing in Santoff Claussen, although Jack had been tempted more than once to ask North for a DS or tablet but thought better of it each time. He was still very new to the Nice list and afraid to spoil it was requesting something like that. North would more than likely give him one but he simply didn't want to ruin a good thing by being greedy. So instead he turned to his friend and gave a smirk. "Yeah, right. I beat you the last two times."

"Yeah by t-boning my car and then racing away," Jamie reasoned as he set up the game, happy to distract his friend and keep him a few hours longer. "That's called cheating, my friend, and can get you back on the Naughty list if I told North."

"Uh huh, and you bombing my car is legal. I think not! If North knew even a fraction of the thing I know about you your name would take the spot I once own."

"Ha! Never! Santa loves me!" the boy said in a sing-song voice as he handed a controller inserted into a bright red wheel to Jack.

"Nah huh, he loves me more. I actually live with him," Jack countered as he bounced on the bed and elbowed the other boy.

"Fine, winner gets your room at North's for one week this summer."

"And how do you plan on explaining that to your parents?"

Jamie grinned as he selected his vehicle and its upgrades. "Easy, I'm going on a camping trip with friends. You think Tooth would mind playing you mom and talk to mine on the phone?"

Jack glanced at him sideways as he worked on his vehicle. "I don't think it works that way. Besides, you'll never beat me."

"Ha! I've been practicing. Caleb and Claude have this game."

"Cheater!"

Jamie's grin only grew as the game began. He had every intention of making Jack forget all about his supposed secret even if it meant an all-nighter on the Wii. Of course Jack caught onto the game fast enough and soon they were playfully shoving each other and taunting one another even after Jamie's mom yelled up that it was time for bed twice and threatened to take the Wii away. It wasn't until Bunny's voice calling from outside that they paused their came.

"Send out the ice brat!" the Easter spirit yelled from the first story. There was a hint of laughter in the rabbit-like being's voice that made both boys curious.

Jamie paused the game to peek out his window. There stood Bunnymund, tapping his tap irritably but the moment he saw Jamie he gave the boy a grin and a little wink.

"Don't make me hop up there and drag him out," he called, sounding rather angry.

Jamie tilted his head questioning but the Pooka's grin only widened and then vanished when Jack poked his head out.

"Would you hush, Sophie's sleeping," Jack reprimanded. He grabbed his staff from against the wall and climbed onto the windowsill. "What's so important anyway? Mix the wrong dyes again or did North's elves open a portal to the Warren and accidently sucked a pile of eggs in again when they tried to go back to the Pole?"

Bunny tapped his foot against the ground, opening a rabbit hole. Then, much to Jack's surprise, the Pooka leapt up to the second story window and grabbed Jack around the waist before dropping into the hole with a goodbye wave to Jamie. The hole sealed up a moment later with a tiny flower in its place.

Jamie shook his head with a smile. Well if there was a way to distract Jack it would be to have the Easter Bunny kidnap him. And to think this time he left a witness. Ah, but who would Jamie tell that wouldn't just burst out laughing at the fact that Jack Frost, the Guardian of Fun and spirit of winter didn't see it coming after being thrown in a sack three times by yetis, thrown over both North's and Bunny's shoulders and knocked out by both Sandman and the Nightmare King, Pitch Black on more than one occasion, usually because he missed some meeting or in Pitch's case revenge or more recently forgetting to visit. Yeah, since becoming a Guardian Jack had been kidnapped more times than anyone in history even if it was by friends and the odd foe. Nonetheless it was sort of a relief that Bunny came when he did and took Jack; it meant Jamie's secret was safe for a few more weeks.
