Love Lies -Jack Frost X female reader (on hold)

21

Just as you thought, the next following morning, you ended up with a cold, just great

"How are you feeling?" Fae asked walking into your room

"Sick"

"What even happened? Zaiden only told me some minor things"

"Like what?" You asked sniffling

"You and Elisa not getting along, you going across a river, you falling into the lake, you acting weird and lastly, you mentioning Jack" Fae answered now staring dead at you

"You know that you can't hold onto him forever, right?" She asked

And guess what? At that moment, Jack just stands there in the doorway confused as he heard the conversation

You looked towards the door, at Jack as he just silently stood there, staring back

"I know.." you finally spoke, breaking eye contact as Jack did the same

"I know how hard this is for you, and I know it probably seems like I don't care about him, but in reality, I really do care, as much as you and his family does, but in the end, he's no longer here, no longer with us, and I don't think it's healthy to hold onto something that can't come back.." Fae explained softly, sitting on the corner of the bed

Jack just stared away from you two, gripping onto his staff, hearing everything and knowing that he's the one you two are talking about

"I.. can't do that.." you spoke up, getting Jacks attention as he looked over at you silently, a bit surprised

"You pretending to see, hear and touch him is a phase of grieving, but you taking it seriously is very unhealthy, it can cause a lot of problems"

"Then let me, in the end, I'm the one who's having the problems, not you"

And with that, you made your way out of the bed as you immediately walked out the room, brushing past Jack

"(Y/n), wait! Where are you going?!" Fae exclaimed getting up

"Out"

————

"It's just a phase of grieving" you scoffed throwing a little rock at a tree when you walked up to the stone by the tree

You got to your knees, in the snow, bundled up of course, as you stared at the markings of his name imprinted into the stone as you just sighed

"I know you're there"

"So.. she knows me too?" He asked landing behind you

"Yeah.. it was always the three of us.." you answered when he squatted beside you, now looking at the stone as well

"I've been here more than twenty times already and not once have I noticed this" he spoke, reading the markings

"Really?" You asked looking over at him

"So, I died here? And came back here?" He asked

"Dying here, yes, coming back? I don't know"

"You are indeed, not here anymore, so I wouldn't say coming back as a word for that, it's almost as if you got reincarnated into a magical spirit"

"A winter spirit to be exact" he corrected making you roll your eyes

"Whatever" you joked when you turned away from the stone and laid down into the snow, on your back, looking up towards the sky

"If I can actually touch you, does that mean that your body isn't physically in the water no more?" You asked looking over at him

"Nope"

"So like, you're a winter spirit, still in a human body, and can't die?"

"Basically, I don't know about the dying part, I guess we'll have to find out"

"I rather not"

"(Y/n)? There you are! I thought you would be here!" Fae exclaimed, running up to you

"Of course you would.." you stated

"Look, I know you hate talking about it, but you know that I'm telling the truth, you can't keep doing this, you shouldn't even be out here if you have a cold, you can get pneumonia!"

"Hyperthermia?"

"Same thing"

"I know what you're saying, Fae, but you can't force me to move on, you weren't AS close to him like I was, we grew up together, I knew him since we were little kids! My entire life was just growing up with him by my side, how do you think I could just let him go so easily?" You asked while Jack just sat there silently listening, in thought

"I don't know.." she then answered with a sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose

"Besides, I'm not grieving, I can really see, feel and hear him" you stated

"(Y/n), enough with this-" she stopped when you grabbed jacks hand and pressed it into the snow, showing his hand print

"There? You see that? It's not my hand" you explained, pressing your hand into the snow, showing a smaller hand print

"What..?" Fae then whispered as she got to the ground to examine it

"How..?" She asked looking up at you

"Jack, do something else, this time, without me" you spoke up when Jack just looked around before looking back at the stone

He then looked back at you before he dipped his finger into the snow, spelling out his name, his actual name that is, not the name that he was supposedly given, by the moon

"There's no way" Fae said, seeing the lines in the snow, slowly spelling out his name

"I'm not going crazy, I told you"

"I cannot believe this" Fae then said, looking up at you

"No one does" Jack replied, beside you when he waved his hand in a circular motion, creating a snowflake as he sent it to her, landing on her nose

"Wow, I've never seen you do that"

"I'm still learning a bit about my powers as I go" he shrugged when Fae shook her head from the chills that it gave, causing her to blink

"J-jack?"
