Jack Frost x Cupid!Reader

Chapter 9

I can't help the worry in my voice. Jack floats up and sees me, worried and scared.

Don't fret, Holly Haunt will be alright. Just warm her.

I sigh in relief and feel Jack wrap his arm around my shoulder.

"What's wrong?" I reply with a 'nevermind', and ask for some blankets. Jack rubs a circle onto my shoulder before floating off.
"You better tell me when I get back!" I hear him call from the hallway.

"Manny, why her?" I look back towards the window.

I needed a new halloween spirit, and you needed this girl. She was perfect too, I may have done it anyway.

I agree with his reasoning but I'm just glad that this girl is okay.

"Manny! How did she act when she found out!?"

She was as excited and as happy as Jack on his first day. Although when the laughter died down and that familiar feeling of being alone crept back to her, I told her where to find you.

"That's awfully nice of you Manny." I compliment just as Jack comes back.

"I still don't get why Manny talks to you more than us."

"Maybe he just likes me more~" I tease. He playfully glares at me before holding out a blanket, looking really stubborn. I take the blanket and toss it over Holly. She curls up a bit and I feel better knowing that Manny was right.

"Phew, now tell me."

"The night you all ubducted me, she was injured by her retched brother. She ran to a bridge and commited suicide before I could stop her. I would have too if I wasn't shoved into a sack." I don't sugar coat nothin', she died and it was because they stopped me.

Jack rubs his arm nervously, mumbling a 'sorry'. I pat his back and tell him that it's alright, him turning and nuzzling into the crook of my neck, mumbling a 'thank you'. (Reader- *dies) Just then the doors open and Bunny walks in.

"Ay ay ay what's goin' on in 'ere?"

Me and Jack jump away from eachother and he falls off the side of the bed/nest. I rub my face to hide my slight blush and breath in to regain my conposure.

"Ngh." I freeze and look at Holly. "Ssh qui-et~"

I can barely contain the laugh that I hold in. I'm so glad that she's fine. I reach over and ruffle her hair. She reaches up and weakly paws at my hands before rolling over, her tail sticking out behind her, flicking wildly before claming to a smooth wave.

"Ooh wood dat be?" Bunny asks as he jumps up the tree, masterfully jumping along the few lower branches. I see Jack float up and jumpscare him, Bunny seeming to 'not care'. Yeah, you saw him flinch.

"This is my...friend...girl...that I-" I look at the boys and see their questioning stares. "N-not like that! You phsycos!" I glare at them and feel my face heat up.

"Yeah." Jack covers for me. "(Y/n) doesn't really know her, but she cares alot for this small child-cat....cat child-"

"I'm a neko!" A weird ass yawn comes soon after as said neko turns and stretches. Her fur standing as her arms and legs reach out in every direction. Starfishing and kicking Bunny and Jack and squishing my face.

She stops and recoils. Laying on her back with her arms and legs coiled close to her body as she wriggles around like her back was itchy or something. We just...stared, not knowing what to do.

'What is happening?'

She rolls over and sits on her legs. Looking all of us in the eyes.

"Holly Haunts. It's my purleasure to meet you all."

She holds out her hand for Bunny. He shakes it firmly, one small shake. "Bunnymund." Holly pulls her hand back and whispers 'so soft.' Before looking at Jack. She slowly makes a fist, glancing from it to Jack before carefully reaching it out in a fist bump sort of way.

"Brofist?" (Reader- *chokes*) Jack smiles before giving her a fist pump. She smiles and looks at me.

That simple word and gesture seem so familiar yet distant. I quickly look out the window for Manny. I sort of, feel him sigh. It's a weird feeling, like knowing someone is smiling even if you can't see their face.

I turn to Holly and pull her in for a hug. She must love hugs because she didn't hesitate at all to wrap her arms around me in a light way, whereas I'm just squeezing her to death.

I pull back. The paining familiarity of that fist bump and the reincarnation of a small girl whoms suicide I witnessed is alot to feel at once. Too much happiness, love, pain and sadness to peice my damaged heart.

I pull back but she's still holding on. "Thanks for accepting me. Mr Manny said you were a nice girl." She finishes as she pulls away herself and looks into my eyes. Her ears laying back and to the side in a lovingly sad way.

Probably the same as me.
