Danny blinked repeatedly as he tried to adjust to the light.

"Hi."

Danny suddenly jerked back "Oh God, Jack! When... " Suddenly everything that happened last night came back in a flash. He groaned in his hands "Dear lord, I kissed you" Danny then pulled up the sheets to cover his face "I mean, I don't regret it." his voice was muffled a bit "But, I guess I should've asked for consent first."

Jack looked back up at the ceiling "Danny, I told you that I love you." He see-sawed his hand "... that counts as consent? "

Danny paused "... That's, that's right! You did. Ha!" Danny lowered the sheets enough to see his face "come to think of it, you don't sleep. Ever." Danny gave Jack a playful glair "what did you even do all night?"

Jack chuckled "Well I couldn't leave, you had a grip of iron." he then overlaid his arms and crossed his legs "and watching you would've been creepy, plus boring. Very boring. No offence." Jack looked away from the ceiling and glanced at Danny "So, cuddling you? I guess? Also trying to see how much frost I could put on the sheets before you turned over."

"What!?" Danny finally took a good look at the sheets, some places only showed thin traces of frost while other parts were almost thick with ice. "... I don't know whether to yell at you, or be annoyed."

Jack gave his characteristic grin with his usual mischievous gleam in his eye "admit it, you like it."

Danny grunted. The thing was, Jack was right. Danny did like it. Come to think of it, Danny hadn't slept this well in a long time. The problem is, he should wash this off before Jack left and it melts "... Annoyed it is."

Jack suddenly gave a dark chuckle. Danny's eyes narrowed to slits "what... else did you do?"

Jack said nothing and innocently glanced at Danny's hair. Danny gave Jack a suspicious look as he slowly brought his hand to his hair, finding it covered in frost.

"Ok, yeah. You know what? You deserved this." With that Danny pushed Jack off the bed.

Jack, however, took ahold of Danny's wrist before he fell off "If I'm going down your going down with me!"

Danny screeched as he was pulled off the nice, cool bed. He and Jack tumbled onto the floor with the sheets loosely rapped around them.

Jack's grin was now more akin to the Chester cat as he turned to Danny who was right next to him "Don't you see Danny? You are no match for my frosty abilities." Jack then broke out to warm, but impish laughter.

Danny raised a brow "oh really?"

Suddenly, Danny was on top of Jack, who's laughter died down to nervous chuckles. "I don't, um... see how this- you- you're are still no match against, Jack Overland Frost!- "

Danny paid no mind to this as he gave Jack a quick kiss on the cheek. Making Jack's chuckles stop dead in their tracks.

Danny gave Jack a soft smile and leaned so close that their noses almost touched "I win."

"Now, that... that's just not fair." Jack stuttered.

Danny didn't seem to care about this as he smirked. He then hesitated "So, um, about your co-workers?"

A slight frown tugged at Jack's lips "Oh, that's... that's right."

"we don't have to go right now, if you don't want to. I mean-"

Jack shook his head as he used the wind from the open window to lift himself up, then gave Danny a hand up as well "As much as I hate to say this, the sooner the better." Jack then swooped Danny up in his arms bridal style. "you ready?"

"I'm not even dressed, Jack."

Jack paused "oh, right." He glanced at Danny's appearance. Which consisted of a red hoodie and lime green pajama paints "... you look fine."

Danny snorted "to you, maybe."

Jack didn't put Danny down "C'mon Danny, think about it. It'll be like a giant meme. Plus, literally only children see them. They won't care what you look like."

"Jack, I still need to tell Jerry a plausible story, or else he'll come looking for me." Danny said, "Where are we going anyways?"

Jack rolled his eyes "The North Pole, duh."

Danny's eyes widen "WHAT?!"

Jack shot up a few feet, inches below the wind "whoa! Danny, volume control?!"

Danny face palmed "Jack, Jack. How was I supposed to get there?"

Jack pressed his face closer to Danny's as they drifted down "You clearly underestimate the wind."

In response Danny gave Jack a dulled stare "I- you know what? Magic is real, reindeer's fly and glitter with tiny fairies roams the streets at night instead of bike gangs. I'm just gonna roll with this."

Jack smirked "Wise choice."

Danny rolled his eyes, then returned to a more serious atmosphere "But seriously, I need to get dressed and take care of Jerry."

"... Alright, fine"

Danny yelped when Jack dropped him on the bed, frost and bits of ice bounced upwards "Jerk."

Jack just smiled.

Danny's eyes roved side to side "uh, Jack? Your gonna have to leave."

Jack paused, then his eyes widen in realization "Oh, right! I'll, um. I'll pick you up in a few minutes."

Danny got up from the bed and dusted the bits of hoarfrost "Alright, see you later."

Jack opened the window and saluted as he jumped out.

Danny, however, just shook his head. And closed the window.

. . .

Danny paused as heard a knock at the window, he walked over and pulled the curtains apart. Jack waved like an exited kid with his usual smile.

Danny couldn't help but smile back as he opened the window. "Jack, it's been fifteen minutes."

Jack hopped into the room "so?" he picked up his staff that leaned against the nightstand "I still can't believe that I left this in here." Jack murmured just below his breath. He then looked back up to Danny "you ready?"

Danny nodded "yeah, I told Jerry that I was going out today. I also have blue jeans on, so that's good."

"But didn't you wear that red hoodie to bed though?" Jack asked.

Danny shrugged "It's a good hoodie."

"Welp, can't argue with that logic." He handed Danny his staff "I'm gonna need you to hold this."

As soon as Danny had a good grip on the staff, Jack lifted him once more in bridal style. "Last minute question, are you afraid of heights?"

Danny gave Jack the most bizarre look that he could muster "You only thought of asking me this now?!"

"It's a standard question! And haven't I established my lack of impulse control and my inability to think things through?" Jack argued.

Danny paused "Alright, fair enough."

Jack walked towards the window "By the way, I was right."

Danny tried to rewind his memory to figure out what Jack was referencing "About what?"

Jack smirked, but in a way where it held a odd warm twist to it "When we first met, I said that I would never be the same. And I was right."

It took a second to process what Jack said, but once it hit Danny turned a bright red. Despite the smirk Jack wore, his eyes had a earnest gleam to them.

But before Danny could even respond, Jack jumped out the window.

The wind whistled in Danny's ears as they dived down, then shot straight up in almost neck-breaking speeds.

What Danny found strange though was that there was no surge of adrenaline, no rush of energy, and no fear. Nothing that Danny should had expected. Instead he felt nostalgia that he couldn't place. And yet he also felt a strange sort of comfort in the sky.

Danny didn't know if it was the wind that was making his eyes burn, or the home sickness.

Jack started heading north and lost some speed "Hey, Danny, do you want me to slow down? I think the speed is making your eyes a bit red."

Danny looked back at Jack "are you kidding me? Slow down?! Never!"

. . .

Jack slowly lowered himself into North's workshop "well, here we are."

Danny looked around "I can't believe that along the fact that yetis are real and guard Santa Clause's place. But also, that it took us only two hours to get here." Danny looked back at Jack "How fast were you going?"

Jack gently let Danny down and shrugged "Honestly I suck at math, I have no clue. I try not to think about it too much."

A thick Australian voice cut in "Jack, how is this boy even alive right now?!" Danny's eyes widen and what appeared to be a giant rabbit come marching towards the two of them "It's in the negatives out there, a normal person would've had their eyeballs frozen by now. And I don't mean that as an' exaggeration."

The giant rabbit completely ignored Danny as he went up to Jack "and he has on just, what-" The rabbit suddenly looked at Danny then turned right back at Jack "a- a hoodie and blue jeans?! This boy should'a been a popsicle by now! I don't even know how he's still alive-" 

Danny fiddled with Jack's staff as he looked back at the rabbit "listen, even I question how am still alive at times. But didn't you guys want me here for a reason?"

The rabbit, or bunny (Danny wasn't sure which one the Australian guy was) suddenly froze. Then slowly turned back to Danny "I- you can see me. That's... why you're here..." The bunny, Danny decided that the guy was looked back at Jack "holy bloody shit you weren't kidding."

Jack mocked a gasp "language, Bunny. Watch your profanity."

The giant bunny huffed.

"Wait, hold on a sec," Danny pointed at the Australian bunny "your name is Bunny?"

"The full name is E. Aster Bunnymund. So yeah, Bunny." Bunny crossed his arms "gotta problem with that?"

"no, no... Just, unexpected is all."

Bunny raised a brow at Danny, "You're calling that 'unexpected'? You're a walking paradox, that's what yer' are."

Danny shrugged.

Bunny looked at Danny in a way where you could tell that Bunny still didn't know how to feel about him at all. He looked back at Jack "... yeah, so, Its only me an' North here right now. We're gonna havta get everyone else."

Almost as if on cue, a Russian voice joined in "so, this iz Danny! I heard so much about you!"

Danny looked up at the towering man with the red coat"... oh, my god. Santa Clause is real. You're real."

Jack raised a brow "out of all the things that gets to you, it's North?"

"Jack, I can't explain it. But he just does." Danny was still looking at North as he said this.

North chuckled nervously "ja, well... I suppose it could be a lot for a person to... take in..."

Both Bunny and North were looking at Danny in unease, as if Danny gave them a bad feeling or was a baleful sign.

Danny didn't seem to notice, but Jack seemed to know as he stepped in front of Danny and rubbed his hands together "Okay, so! When are the others coming?" Jack glanced behind "also, I need my staff back Danny."

Danny handed Jack the staff "Oh, right. Almost forgot."

The look of shock and discomfort increased dramatically on both North's and Bunny's faces as they both watched the exchange.

North was the first to try and act normally "ah, well Danny. The others should be here very shortly. Would you like a cookie?"

 "uh... " Danny watched as both Jack and Bunny were mouthing the word 'no' and 'don't' as they were shaking their heads "Thanks, but I'll pass."

North shrugged, oblivious to both Bunny's sagging shoulders and Jack's look of relief "your loss then." North made a waving motion and little elves suddenly appeared from one of the far doorways that looked handcrafted.

Danny's eyes widen as the elf with the tall funny red hat spat out a cookie onto the old silver tray filled with variety of other kinds of cookies.

North picked up the cookie "Are you sure that you don't want one? They're very good. I don't know vhy no one else ever takes one... "

Danny looked at the cookie then back at the elf, then to North "I'm sure. I absolutely don't want one."

North took a bite "more for me then."

Danny gave a yelp "I- you do know that the elf spat it out, right?!"

North stopped chewing "they're elves. They do it all the time, it takes a bit for one to get used to it."

Danny, Jack and Bunny gaged as North swallowed the cookie.

Bunny wrinkled his nose "that's disgusting, mate."

North spread his arms "vhat do you want me to do then? Waste cookies? Throw them away?!"

Jack jerkily nodded his head "um, yeah! Please."

North grumbled under his breath about "naughty list", "Jack" and "wasting."

Danny decided that now would be a good time to change the subject. He gestured a hand at Jack "... ok, so I know that Jack is, well, Jack Frost." He pointed a finger at North "You're Santa Clause" Danny jerked his thumb at Bunny's direction "and he's the Easter Bunny." He putted his hand down "so... who else is coming? Exactly?"

Jack drifted a bit closer at Danny's side "Eros, and Psyche. As well as Tooth and Sandy." Jack leaped to the top of his staff and somehow found the center of gravity with inhuman ease "in order they are more commonly known as Cupid, the spirit of romantic love, no duh. Psyche is, well, Psyche. She is the spirit of the human soul, mind and spirit. Tooth is better known as the Tooth Fairy, she's the spirit of childhood memories. Sandy is also the Sandman, he's the spirit of... well the spirit of dreams."

"But, don't you call yourselves the Guardians? Not spirits?" Danny asked.

Bunny see-sawed his paws "eh, we see it as both. For example, I am the spirit of hope, but while I am the spirit of it, or, the heart of hope, I guard it for children." Bunny lifted a paw towards North "also, another example, North. While he's the Spirit of Wonder, he also guards it for children? Ya' get me?"

Danny paused "I... think so? Yeah, defiantly. Got it." He turned to Jack "what are you the spirit of?"

Something in Danny's heart warmed when Jack beamed in pride "I'm the guardian or spirit of Fun."

Danny blinked "Figures."

The conversation was then broke with a fluttering of paper-thin wings "Oh my stars! Is this him?! It this Danny?" A woman with glowing violet eyes and bright green feathers swooped down and opened Danny's mouth "oh, I like this one! He flosses!"

Danny jerked back from the brief contact.

Jack hopped off his staff and stepped between Tooth and Danny "Sorry Tooth, he doesn't like strangers touching him."

Tooth faltered "oh, alright." She then froze "I- I touched you! That's not supposed to happen." She bounced on the toes of her feet "Oh, this is so exciting! Now excuse me, I have to go and rearrange some quick scheduling with the girls."

She soon flew off to god knows where. Both Bunny and North followed as they seemingly tried to stop her.

Danny then saw the sand make a arrow down. Danny looked down and saw a little man who seemed to be completely made of sand.

Danny gave a small wave "oh, you must be Sandy, the sandman." 

The little man created a bowler hat with the sand and made a bow.

Danny smiled "You're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"

Sandy smiled back. It has a strange childlike yet mature quality to it.

Jack gave a soft chuckle and he leaned on Danny "Don't let Sandy fool you, he can be vicious when he needs to be."

Sandys warm smile became a devilish smirk as the bowler hat became a set of devil horns. He started rubbing his hands and gave what looked like silent, dark laughter.

Danny leaned back against Jack "I consider myself warned."

A new, deep voice entered the conversation "All jokes aside, Jack Frost is right."

Danny saw a dark-skinned man with blood red blindfold and instantly knew who it was "You're Eros."

Eros nodded "Indeed." He gave Danny a strange look. "you... you should've felt my arrows before, but I don't see my mark on you..." Eros eerily turned to Jack "and yet Danny, you love him. Strange, very strange indeed..."

Danny and Jack gave each other nervous looks as they held the other on tighter. Danny looked back at Eros "you're... you're not going to try and reverse it, are you?"

 Eros hesitated, then shook his head "No, I'm not. People fall In love for a reason. Whither they're 'the one' or not, they always learn something. For better or worse."

Jack slacked in relief and Danny sighed in relief as well. 

Sandy stared at both Danny and Jack with wide eyes, as if all the pieces came together. He excitedly clapped his hands (even though they made no sound) and made a heart with the sand, then pointed to both Jack and Danny, then added a question mark.

Jack and Danny both looked at each other and grinned as they turned to Sandy and both gave a thumbs up, confirming Sandy's question.

Sandy made what looked like a squeak, he then made a happy face above his head and pointed arrows to himself. While jumping up and down with the biggest grin.

Jack, influenced with Sandy's enthusiasm gave Danny a quick kiss to his nose.

Danny snorted and hugged Jack's arm tighter. Tring to hold down the smile that was turning up the corner of his lips.

Eros however, looked confused. As confused as a blind man should be when a verbal-less conversation happens.

A woman with frizzy black hair and a deep brown skin walked in "Hello, you're Danny I presume?"

Danny nodded "yeah, that's me. You're Psyche, right?"

Psyche gave a polite nod and pushed up the frame of her glasses "that is me, you're correct." Like every one before her, she gave Danny a strange look "I suppose that me and Eros aren't the only ones anymore, it's a bit too early to tell though..."

Jack blinked "what's that supposed to mean?"

Sandy putted a giant question mark above his head, as if asking the same question.  

She seemed to hesitate, but before she opened her mouth to answer, North's voice thundered above the tinkering and other side conversations. "Alright, now that we're all here, lets discus ze' elephant in the room. Danny."

Suddenly all eyes fell on Danny.

"Danny," North said again as he slowly walked towards Danny "are you familiar with the world-wide kidnappings?"

This was not the turn that Danny was expecting this conversation to go."I- Wha- what? No. I literally have no idea what you're talking about." Danny turned to Jack "what the heck are they talking about?"

Jack rubbed the back of his neck "like North said, their had been some kidnappings. Adults, teens, people that can't or shouldn't see us anymore." Jack took a deep breath "it's too spread out, too few people for the mortals to really notice. But the kidnappings were... unusual enough for us to."

Bunny cut in "we have evidence that suggests that the group of spirits took them to test out some... experiments."

Danny's mind without explanation flashed to the pools of green and flash of knives, he winced at the word. Suddenly, Danny putted the two-and-two together on what Bunny and Jack was saying "you think that they experimented on me, and that's why I can see you?"

The room turned gravely silent. That was an answer in itself

Danny shook his head "No, that can't- it doesn't make any sense."

"I know it can be a little hard for someone rap their head around-" Tooth said.

Danny however, shook his head "No, I mean it literally makes no sense. If I could see spirits because of them, wouldn't the people that were kidnapped be returned? And even if they weren't, would there be more people taken? Or even more reports of people seeing spirits?"

"... yeah, Danny's right," Jack turned to Psyche and Eros "You said that they were building an army, right? Wouldn't they've have done their 'big battle' or whatever yet or attacked already if that was the case?"

Tooth nodded "the boys have a point. If Danny being... experimented on was true, now would've been the perfect time to strike. Only recently had spirits heard the buzz of what they could be planning and it would've been in the time where we least expected them. Plus, Danny was here for a few months already from how long Jack has been telling us about him, so they would've had months to prepare."

Psyche frowned "But then why can Danny see us? What else could possibly explain it?" Everyone once more turned to Danny's way.

Danny raised is hands in surrender almost "I have no idea, But I had been meaning to ask," He turned to Tooth "I never thought I would ever ask anyone else this, but do you have my teeth? I don't- I forget... I lost all my memories, ok? And I really, really need them back."

Tooth gave Danny a surprised then sad look "I'm... I'm afraid I don't have your teeth. I remember every costumer I've ever had, you were never one of them." She gave him a sideways glance "I could double heck for you though, I mean, I highly doubt it, but who knows-"

Danny gave her a weak, wobbly smile "Thanks, Tooth, that would be... that would be very much appreciated."

Jack reached out and held Danny's hand as he gave him a slight squeeze. Jack then turned to North, "what about you North? Grown up or not, dead or alive you have everyone somewhere on your list, right? Is Danny Fenton there?"

North slowly shook his head in disbelief "Danny is no where on ze list. It's almost like he doesn't exist..." North extended his arms as proof, on one arm in said "Naughty" and the other "Nice" both Zoomed past names, highlighting anything that looked remotely like Danny's name, "Danny Fenton." There were a few familiar results, a couple people had the same name as Danny. But something deeply seeded inside of Danny told him that none of them were 'his' name.

Danny forced himself to look away, he then turned to Sandy "What about you Sandy, you've been giving me dreams, right? You gotta know something about me if that's the case,"

Sandy gave Danny a look oh, too similar to Tooth's. Shocked, then sombered. Sandy slowly shook his head and putted strange signs above his head.

Bunny was the first to translate "Sandy says... he says that he isn't giving you any dreams."

Sandy then gently blew wisps of dream sand to Danny's face. Instead of knocking out Danny cold or sending him to a deep dream, nothing happened. Absolutely nothing happened.

Bunny swallowed as he translated the rest "Dream sand can't give teens and adults dreams, they become immune." Something in Bunny's voice changed in a way where Danny didn't think he was translating anymore. "You're... you're supposed to be asleep though. No one alive can be that immune to the dream sand. Not even spirits."

To Danny, the room seemed to fuel with heat. He shivered at it as it was making his head spin, he backed up a few steps from the sheer leering power of it "Jack- Jack please take me home."

Without another word, Jack handed Danny his staff and lifted him bridal style once more,

but this time, Jack didn't leave before grabbing a waterproof blanket in the tower of toys.

No one moved to sop them as they left.

. . .

Jack decided to stop by Danny's fount door "That was... so much worse than I thought it would be."

Danny doesn't say anything as he opened the unlocked door, with the blanket still on his shoulders.

Jack quietly observed Danny "... you know, I think this calls for a snack and movie night."

For the first time in over two hours, Danny responded. He raised a brow "you can eat? I don't think you even nibbled on something during the whole time that I've been with you."

Jack shrugged as he came in and closed the door behind him "I don't need to, and usually because I don't like to. Also, because I didn't have a clean bathroom readily available to me." Jack grinned "But it's all different now. Plus, I think that this is a special occasion."

Danny gave a small smile, something in his chest turned to goo, "Alright Jack. Snack and movie night, it is then."

Both were uncharacteristically quiet as they wordlessly worked together. Going into the kitchen, getting what they wanted and choosing a movie. They both went to the sofa and crawled to their desired spots. Danny spread the blanket over the two of them as the movie started.

. . . 

Both Danny and Jack were howling with laughter, tears in their eyes as the scene played.

Danny just barely managed to stop as he heard the door click open "Jerry, Jerry! Come see this! This girl just crashed a wedding with a chainsaw!"

Jerry groaned "ugh, later. Today was a long day at the police station. Who's your friend by the way?"

Danny blinked "what friend?" Jack suddenly stopped laughing.

"The one next to you," Jerry said "the one with the weird white hair."

Jack gave a slow wave.

Jerry waved back.

Jack's mouth dropped open and the handful of popcorn dropped from his hand.

Jerry looked down on the floor where Jack dropped the popcorn "I'm not cleaning that up."

Jerry looked back and forth between Danny's and Jack's shell shocked faces "... yeah, so. I'm going to bed now, see you both later."

Jack and Danny said nothing as Jerry lumbered up the stairs. Slowly, they both turned to each other with mouths wide open.

Danny looked at the stairs then back at Jack "What- what the hell?!"
