Chapter 6: Everythings feels right tonight

Cupid and Aphrodite arrived some minutes later. Tooth saw the discomfort and the shame on the younger one´s face and couldn´t help to feel pity on the kid. After all, kids would always be kids. She couldn´t really be mad at the little blonde boy.

"Mrs. Tooth?" called the boy as he stood in front of the fairy.

Tooth kneeled before the kid and then turned towards her friend. "Could you please give us a minute?" she asked her politely. Aphrodite nodded.

"Sure, call me if you need anything." before she left the pair she rubbed her son´s blonde locks and gave Tooth a comforting smile. Tooth returned the gesture.

"I am sorry Mrs. Tooth. I didn´t mean to hit you with my arrow." apologized the kid as he focused his attention on the floor. Tooth sighed and took the boy´s chin between her fingers.

"I am not mad at you." she said softly. The kid sniffed and with his arm he cleaned a tear away.

"No?" he asked surprised. Tooth shook her head.

"Of course not, you made a mistake but everyone makes mistakes, you know?" Tooth smiled as she noticed an innocent smile appear on the kid´s face. "I even make mistakes!"

"Really?!"

"Yes!" she nodded. "One time I messed my change and I gave all my euro on America instead of Europe. You should have seen the kids´ faces the next morning."

The kid giggled softly.

"But part of making mistakes is arranging them."

The kid´s smile disappeared. "I know. So you want me to break the arrow?"

Tooth nodded. "Yes, please."

Cupid took an arrow from his back and stared at it for some seconds. With his finger he wrote a big J and then a T. The arrow started glowing in a red light. Cupid sighed and with both of his hands he broke it in two. The glow immediately disappeared and a pain on Tooth´s chest disappeared. She let go the breathe she hadn´t noticed she was holding.

"It´s done." said the kid almost in a whisper.

"Thank you." Tooth stood up and gave the boy a little pad on the back. "Now you may go to keep playing with your friends."

Cupid smiled and then started flying across the room with a huge smile on his face.

"AND BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE ARROWS!" screamed his mother as she reached Tooth. The fairy just laughed.

"He is a nice boy." she admitted.

Aphrodite nodded. "I know."

The music of the last dance started playing and Aphrodite glimpsed at Tooth just to find the fairy staring at her. "Is there anything wrong?" asked Aphrodite as she blushed.

"It´s the last dance." she stated.

"So?"

Tooth moved so she was standing in front of Aphrodite. She offered the spirit of passion her hand. "You told me that someone was just looking up for me and I should look up and find her." She made special emphasis on the last word. Aphrodite smile naughtily at her.

"I made it pretty obvious, didn´t I?"

Tooth chuckled. "You know I need obvious some times."

"That´s why I am your best friend."

Aphrodite took Tooth´s hand and both girls started walking towards the dance floor.

"We can discuss titles later." tooth smiled at Aphrodite and then both girls stared dancing surrounded by other spirit couples.

.-.-.-.-.

"You were looking…" Jack felt his heart starting to bomb faster and suddenly his brain became slower than usual. "Me?"

Bunny chuckled. "Why does that surprise you?"

Jack stuttered. "Because, I thought you and Tooth…" Bunny laughed out loud this time. "What?!" shouted the younger spirit as he started getting irritated. Was this some kind of twisted joke or was Bunny being really serious. Damn, he hoped the guardian of hope was serious.

"Why would I even pay attention Tooth when I could have my eyes focused on those beautiful blue orbs?"

Jack blushed painting his cheeks with a light purple color. Bunny leaned closer to Jack and kissed his forehead softly.

"But the other day, when we kissed…" started Jack but Bunny didn´t let him finish.

"That was yesterday and today is today." he whispered.

Jack looked around and noticed that the rest of the guardians were slow dancing with their respective couples and some of them would give each other a soft kiss once in a while. Jack pictured himself in the same situation with Bunny and a silly smile appeared in his face. It would be nice.

"So today you like me, but what about tomorrow?"

Bunny smirked confused.

"What about tomorrow?"

"Yes, if yesterday you didn´t like me and today you do have feelings for me, what will happen tomorrow? Would you still like me or…" he left the sentence unfinished, fearing if he said it out loud it would automatically become it real.

"Since when you became so smart?"

"Just answer me Kangaroo!" shouted Jack.

Bunny smiled and then kissed him on the lips softly. "I will love you tomorrow too."

Jack took a step back and smiled devilish at the Pooka. "What about the day after?"

Bunnymund rolled his eyes in a fake annoyance. "Yes Jack, I will still like you."

"And next week?"

"Of course."

"And next month?"

Bunny sighed at the childish attitude of the spirit but then he thought, maybe that was one of the things he loved the most about him. He loved his easy smile, his weird ability to make the most original pranks ever invented, his sarcastic laughter… he loved everything about Jack.

"I will love you until my last day. Is that enough for you?"

Jack nodded and then jumped into Bunny´s arms searching for that warm fur and the rhythmic sound of the Pooka´s heartbeat. Bunny surrounded the winter´s spirit with his strong arms and hid his face in the other one´s hair.

Suddenly everything felt right again. Bunny felt no guilt and Jack didn´t felt worried. They both knew they were doing the right thing because it was meant to be. Both of them, tangled in a soft and tender hug, were just what were meant to be. Jack cuddle between Bunny´s arm and there was no cold or warm. Bunny kissed Jack´s hair and then his lips.

Jack responded to the kiss with the same force and passion. This was one hundred times better than their first kiss at the frozen forest. And it was because Bunny was finally letting go. Jack knew by the Pooka´s hands caressing his torso Bunnymund was claiming him as yours. And the spirit of fun couldn´t be gladder.

"Hmp." they heard someone clear his throat next to them trying to get their attention. The two guardians separated their faces but neither of them broke the embrace. In front of them stood North and Sandy, staring at them with each of them with one small smile on their faces.

"What?" asked Bunny harshly.

"The last dance is about to begin. I was wondering you wouldn´t want to miss it." said North as a couple dancing appeared over Sandy´s head.

Jack chuckled as he saw the confused look on Bunnymund´s face.

"Come on. Let´s have our first dance." said the younger one as he held the guardian´s of hope´s hand and lead him towards the dance floor. The Pooka let himself being dragged around until the two of them reached the center of the dance floor.

"So this is our first dance?" asked Bunny in a sarcastic voice.

"Isn´t this romantic?" answered back the other one in the same sarcastic tone.

Bunny chuckled and then kissed Jack again.

And again.

And again.

Because tonight, that valentine night; everything felt right.
