Frozen Amethyst Chapter 36

Jack entwined his fingers with yours, giving them a little squeeze. He was staring off into the distance, probably already deep in thought. His pants, who were naturally wrecked, looked even more damaged. His blue hoodie was much paler, as if it had been dipped in bleach. Those white bangs of his covered up most of his eyes. Oh those eyes, the ones you learned to stare into oh so many times. He had a blank expression plastered across his features, making him look serious. You gave his hand a slight squeeze and he slowly turned his head to you. He sighed and looked down at his bare feet before looking back into you (e/c) eyes.

"Winter is ending."

A cold hand gently shook your shoulder as you became fully conscious again. You looked around, recognizing your living room. Your heart stopped thumping quickly and you relaxed when Jack smoothed your hair out.

"You have a habit of falling asleep on me, huh?" He joked, poking your cheek.

You stretched and groaned, ignoring his remark. That dream, it bothered you to the highest point. It must of meant something, for sure. But what? Guess you would just have to wait and see for yourself.

"What time is it?"

Jack looked over his shoulder to where a clock was hanging. He squinted his eyes, trying to focus on the ticking needles. Reading the hour was pretty hard for him, considering he hasn't used a clock in a while.

"Uh... I think it says 6 o'clock." You turned your head towards the nearest window and stared outside. A few orange sun rays started to brighten up the sky, but not enough for it to be completely clear out. It was still a little dark and a few stars were still shining.

"Did my parents come back home last night?"

Jack nodded and hopped off your couch. He was smiling widely and practically fidgeting with all of the excitement he had been containing these past hours.

"Hey, wanna go somewhere special?" Tilting your head to the side, you hesitated a bit, but then nodded. The young spirit struck his fist into the air before dragging you up to your room.

"Put some comfortable clothes on!" He whispered before slamming your own door in your face. Figuring he'd be waiting on the other side, you sighed and chuckled at his silliness. Your closet was filled with clothes, so surely finding some suitable clothes wouldn't be a problem for you.

A few minutes later, you walked out of your room wearing a pair of jeans, combat boots, a black tank top and a forest green jean jacket. You felt like you were going on some expedition. Jack eyed you from head to toe before nodding approvingly. He took your hand and smiled.

"Great choice!"

You smiled in return before blushing.

"My parents are probably still sleeping so we better make this quick, okay?" You tried your best to keep your voice down, but high enough for Jack to hear.

"Alright!"

And with a swift movement, Jack ran to your window, pushed it wide open, helped you onto his back Peter Pan style and placed himself on the edge. He turned his head in your direction before planting a chaste kiss on the very tip of your nose.

"Just like old times?"

Grinning, you tightened your grip on his hoodie.

"Just like old times."

And with that, he jumped off.
