older jamie bc reasons.

Hey, cut it out. There's nothing embarrassing about studying fables. I'm going to be a curator — or a writer, maybe both! One day, that is. The first chapter would have to be on ... [ hmmm what a hard choice!! ] Bigfoot, obviously.

[You made Jack perfectly happy when you were a half-pint.] Then if you don't mind me, you shouldn't mind when I get mushy.

[Welp, Jack's starting to get a little warm, but he'll keep quiet for Jamie's sake.] You can always ditch the coat and scarf.

[undergrad]

[ jack is easily pleased, psh. pulling back, he strips off his scarf and shrugs off his coat as suggested. ]

I'm looking out for your rep, cool kid. C'mere.

[ kind of doing the opposite when he reopens his arms. ]

[snowymischief]

[That is beside the point. All Jack does is laugh and shake his head at the gesture, but whatevs. Bro hugs are the best.] Of course you are. And like I haven't heard that pun before.

[Ahhhh, it feels really satisfying to Jamie all grown up, though.] How's school going?

[undergrad]

[ shrugs! he can hug people for hours (has been known to fall asleep and snore in the library with exhausted classmates, mid-essay) so this is nothing. swaaaaying slightly, way too content. ]

It's okay. Three more years to go and then I'm taking a gap year to go traveling all over the world. I want to go on this awesome expedition to Greenland! You can go dog sledding, snow boarding or even fish in the sea ice!

[snowymischief]

[Your hugs are so cute, man. And holy shit, you have things planned out, man. He gives a wistful smile as he listens to Jamie talk.] It sure sounds like you have things planned out. I've seen the dog sledding, and it looks like a ton of fun.

[undergrad]

We can totally hang out more if it's cold, can't we?

[ might ... be a big factor in his placement. ]

[snowymischief]

[... omg Jamie.] Of course. Is that why you want to go to Greenland? So we can hang out?

[undergrad]

[ looking a bit confused here. ]

Obviously. I'm not going to go somewhere gross and sticky-hot, am I?

[snowymischief]

[You've just made one Guardian unbelievably happy.] You really are the best friend I've ever had.

[undergrad]

[ psssssssh /// ]

Shut up, you big girl.

[ headlock time!!! ]

[snowymischief]

[dfkgdb wow, you did not just call him a girl. He'll just throw a fistful of snow in your face.] That better not go in my book.

[undergrad]

[ CHEWING THRU DA SNOW he's a monster. shaking the rest off, he grabs his coat to tug on before the shivers become too pronounced. ]

Jack Frost, the Big Girly Bennett-Hugger. Watch out, he's one fearsome cuddler!

[snowymischief]

[HE CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE EATING HIS SNOW but it makes him laugh.]

I can also bring one heck of a blizzard! Or not, if I'm not in the mood. [You should take that warning seriously, Jamie! OR NO SNOW DAY.]

[undergrad]

[ he needs his snow day fix ok >:( that is srs bsnz. ]

I miss you a lot, y'know. I know you're busy and everything.

[snowymischief]

[... oh gosh, it makes him a little sad to hear that he doesn't spend much time with Jamie in the years to come.] Hey, I'm never too busy to drop by Burgess and see you.

[undergrad]

I'm not in Burgess, Jack. Try the East coast.

[ kiddo moved out. ]

[snowymischief]

--you moved? [Didn't see that coming.]

[undergrad]

I started college, I'll be nineteen soon.

[ they grow up fast, jackie. ]

[snowymischief]

[Jack suddenly feels very behind.] Jeez, you're older than me when I [Uhhhh can't say "died".] became a spirit. [Nice save.]

[undergrad]

[ smooooth. ]

You'll always be older and cooler, don't worry about that.

[snowymischief]

[Smooth as ice. >> But now he's thinking that yes, he's always going to be older, and someday Jamie's going to--

Nope, not going there.] Well, I am the coolest Guardian, if I do say so myself.

[undergrad]

Of course you are, I adopted you. Just like Bunny's all Sophie's whether he likes it or not.

[ although how could he not when soph is eager to paint everything in sight, not just eggs. ]

[snowymischief]

Well, I don't think Bunny could ever deny Sophie something if he tried. [A pause.] Then again, I'm the same when it comes to you.

[undergrad]

I'm your faaaavorite, you love me soooo muuuuch.

[ flopping up behind him again, gotcher waist and UR HART. gomen. ]

[snowymischief]

[Jamie pls, you are embarrassing him!!!] What was that about keeping up my reputation? Man, I'm grateful to one kid for finally believing in me, and he embarrasses me.
