Work Text:
When Jack stepped out of the gym after practice, it was already dark outside, much to his delight. He loved winter, how the peace of the night felt when the sun set early, and the biting cold had never bothered him much; he embraced it wholeheartedly. His teammates had taken to calling him "Jack Frost" since he dyed his hair white in freshman year, and the nickname ended up spreading throughout the rest of the school.
Jamie Bennet, referred to by the rest of the gymnastics team as Team Mom, was chewing him out for not wearing a coat. "You'll freeze to death, Jack!"
"Oh I'm fine, this outfit is plenty warm-"
"A long sleeved workout shirt and sweatpants are not warm enough!"
"-and Pitch is picking me up anyways, its not like I'm walking home."
"Good, when he gets here then he can scold you too, maybe you'll listen to your boyfriend if not me."
"Aw, you actually believe I'll listen to anyone."
"I'll tell Sophie and Mary."
"Wait, no."
The rest of the team laughed as the threat of the two's younger siblings made Jack immediately back off, and he was about to throw a snowball at them when he heard a horn, coming from a familiar black car. He ran over and got in the passenger side, leaning over the center console to receive a peck on the lips from is boyfriend.
"Are you out of your mind? I know you have a tolerance to the cold, but Christ Jack," Pitch complained, the familiarity of his slight British accent lightening Jack's mood (if that was possible).
"Yeah, yeah, Jamie already chewed me out for it."
"And you listened?"
"Pitch!" Jack whined, pouting. Upon seeing his boyfriend raise an eyebrow, he relented. "He threatened to tell Sophie and Mary." Pitch chuckled, pulling out of the parking lot and heading to the Overland household.
"What time are we supposed to be there again?"
"I dunno, North said 6 but knowing Tooth and Sandy they won't be there 'til 7:30." The two, as well as their friends Toothiana, Sanderson, and Aster, were going to their other friend North's house for a Christmas party. "I just gotta change."
"You better not even try to wear your binder, especially if we're spending the night." Pitch remarked as they pulled into the driveway of Jack's house, knowing all too well his boyfriend would try to push his limits if he didn't.
"I didn't even wear it to practice!"
"Because you shouldn't, you also wore it all day at school."
Jack put on an overdramatized pout, before smirking back at the tall man. "Only if you admit that I look sexy in my binder."
"And why would I do that?"
"What else would your blush mean whenever you see me in it? And nothing else~"
"Jack!"
"Pitch!"
"Jackson Overland!"
"Kozmotis Black-Pitchiner."
They mock glared at each other, corners on both their lips turning up slightly, before they were interrupted by a shrill yell.
"NOW KISS!"
"Mary!" Jack responded, jumping out of the car and chasing his sister into the house. Pitch turned off the car and followed behind, hiding behind a door and using his size to his advantage to lift the 11-year-old into the air. Jack came over and hugged his boyfriend, squishing the girl between the two and giving her a big kiss on the cheek. "Like that?"
"Jaaaaack!" Mary whined, trying to squirm out of Pitch's grasp. He finally relented and set her back down. "C'mon, aren't you going to a party? Get ready so you can drop me off at Sophie's!" Sophie, Jamie's sister, had been close friends with Mary since their older brothers joined the same team. Since Emily, their mother, was at a work event late into the night, the Bennet's mom, Nora, offered to take Mary for the night, letting the two have their own party since Jamie was going to one at Cupcake's house.
"Alright, I'm going, I'm going! Go get your bag!" He said, leading Pitch up the stairs to his room. The (ridiculously) tall man went to sit on the bed, while Jack moved to the closet to find an outfit. Pitch was in his usual black skinny jeans and cream button up, so he decided to match and wear his own button up.
His own button up with garish snowflakes about that were made of some fuzzy material, bought as a gag gift for which Jack decided he would wear it to semi-formal occasions purely out of spite.
"Ugh, I keep forgetting to burn that hideous shirt."
"I rather like it, if you must know," Jack teased, stripping his off his sweatpants and the tight black shirt he wore to practice and putting on the blue one, stopping before he could button it when arms slid around his waist, a chest suddenly pressed against his back and hot breath in his ear.
"You made quite the observation earlier, you know. You are quite a gorgeous man," Pitch grinned, grabbing Jack's ass with one hand and snapping the band of his sports bra against his ribs with the other, before moving back to the bed. "Hurry up though, we should be leaving soon."
Jack's face was bright red, Pitch may be quite the flirt but it still took him by surprise when he was so bold, especially with his own current lack of clothing. "Fucking tease," he muttered, closing the white buttons before grabbing his own dark jeans and jumping into them. He grabbed a small bag of toiletries, prepared to stay at North's house for the night, and yelled for Mary to get in the car.
They pulled up at North's house not long after dropping Mary with the Bennets, greeted by the tall Russian man, tattoo sleeves mostly hidden under a Christmas sweater, while a slightly shorter (but still freakishly tall, in Jack's opinion) Australian man lounged on the couch behind him.
"Wow Bunny, for a tough ass you're always so punctual," Jack jibed at the Aussie.
"If you don' shu' up, I'll kick ya through the window inta the frozen road," Aster responded, not even bothering to look up from his phone.
They had just settled in when, surprisingly, the doorbell rang again, revealing a small tan man and a lean woman just slightly shorter than Jack, both dressed in bright colors, the man's in shades of gold while the woman resembled a hummingbird in shiny purples and turquoises.
"Hey Sandy, Tooth, I thought you were gonna be a while longer!"
"My last class was cancelled, so I finished my work early and we met up on the way over!" Tooth exclaimed, as Sandy nodded and signed that he was ahead in schoolwork so after his Authors Circle meeting he could come right away.
The 6 sat in a circle with a pitcher of eggnog in the middle, for their yearly tradition of Truth or Dare. They each took a gulp, then sat a bottle in the middle to spin.
After many secrets spilled ("how does Tooth have the highest body count of us all? I love you, but really?"), Tooth forced to sit in North's lap, Pitch and Sandy drinking nearly a quarter bottle of whiskey each, and Aster and Jack being forced to switch clothes (much to the Aussie's begrudgement), the smallest two of the group were out cold, Jack close behind with his head in his boyfriends lap and eyes drifting shut as his hair was stroked, and Aster slurring to all hell (making it even harder to understand through his thick accent). Only North and Pitch were somewhat composed, partially due to their sheer size and also because North was Russian and had a hell of an alcohol tolerance.
"P'tch, ma'e, howw, how didja en' up wif Jack?" Aster asked on Pitch's next turn, prompting a moaned complaint from said male. "Yer li'e, an int'lect'le, and he, he's, I lov'm, but he's Jack."
Pitch sighed, seemingly unaffected by the alcohol except that his accent was also stronger, and he listed sideways every once in awhile. "It's simple, I'm morosexual. Attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively."
"Heyyyyyyyyyy," Jack whined from his spot in Pitch's lap, "'m not that dumb."
"Love, you mean the world to me, and you're incredibly intelligent in some areas, but I also heard you ask Toothiana what the Spanish word for 'tortilla' is."
"I w's sleep depr'ved!"
"Jack, when I told you I was from Russia you asked which country I was from."
"I mix'd up Russsssia 'nd, Eur'pe."
"Ma'e, ye w're thigh high crocs to the Homecomin' P'rty."
"'s not st'pid'ty, th's fashion."
"'s an abom'nat'n."
"One w'rd, lmao: leav' my ass OLONE." North was practically wheezing at that point, and Pitch had given up on hiding his smile. "'m sleep'n now. goo'nigh..." and with that he joined Tooth and Sandy in dreamland, leaving his boyfriend to haul him up to the blanket pile (where he refused to let go and forced Pitch to stay and cuddle with him), North and Aster following not long after.
