Celebrating their Birthday pt.1(?)

The reader celebrates their birthday (all the characters I write for) can be platonic or romantic: Ultron, Peter Pan, Felix, Pitch Black, and Jack Frost

Warning: a little suggestive for Pitch

Ultron

It was a random thought that came to you. He would always celebrate your birthday, but you never recalled celebrating his birthday. Curious, you slipped into the living room where Ultron was. He was busy fiddling with something and you took the seat next to him.

"Hm? Are you hungry?" He looked up from his activity.

"No, I just have a question."

"You're welcome to ask away."

"When's your birthday?"

He seemed to hesitate before answering, "I don't have one."

"Of course you do! The day you came into existence is your birthday." Knowing he couldn't really shake you off, he replies with the date he saw when he first woke.

You jumped up from your seat. "That's tomorrow!"

"Mm." Ultron hummed. He watched you disappear into the room out of the corner of his eyes. As it was his first birthday celebration, you wanted everything to be perfect. And when tomorrow came, you made sure everything was still where you left them. Of course, Ultron was up early and occupied in the kitchen to prep breakfast.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah." You peered over to see what he was cooking. "I shouldn't be making you cook for me on your birthday." You huffed, crossing your arms. Ultron raised a brow at you.

"Well it's my pleasure. Plus, you can't cook."

"Ouch."

"It's true."

"It is." You laughed. While Ultron was finishing up, you set the table and brought out his gift as well as his card that you had made. As you stared at them in your hands, you started to have second thoughts as his gifts were more intricate and well thought out. You glanced over at Ultron and started to doubt yourself. Before you knew it, he approached the table with breakfast in hand.

"Are you alright?"

"Uh, yeah!" He watched you sit down and he took the seat across from you. "Do you have any plans?"

"Not today." He hummed. You nodded and slowly drew out his gifts in your hand.

"Well...it's not much," you bit your lips as you handed them to Ultron. He stared at them and then back to you. "I...I wish I prepared something more for you. You've done so much for me and looking back on it, my gifts seems so insignificant compared to yours. You deserve a lot and I promise I'll—"

"Thank you." Ultron smiled. You looked up at him, as you were staring at the uneaten food, to see that he was staring at the card. "You're the first person to do something like this for me.....you may not know it, but I really appreciate everything you do. Thank you." You smiled at him, but his smile dropped when tears started to fall.

"W-what's wrong?" Panicking, Ultron stood from his seat to move towards you. When he was next to you, you threw your arms around him.

"You mean so much to me." You cried. Ultron rubbed your back softly as you cling to his waist.

As your tears died down, he teased, "shouldn't I be the one crying?" You laughed between your cries. You managed to shout out a choked 'happy birthday' for him. For the rest of the day, you and Ultron spent the time doing anything he enjoyed. Which mostly consisted of rewatching movies, finding a remote area to watch the sunset together, talking under the stars – just enjoying your company was all he could ever want.

"Thank you for today.....I genuinely enjoyed it and you....." Ultron paused. "Well, I never enjoyed my 'birthday' since it wasn't as pleasant but you made it easier. Thank you for everything."

"Of course! This is literally the least I could do for you." You smiled sheepishly. "You deserve the day for yourself."

Peter Pan

It wasn't odd that no one knew anything about Pan, but you bet Felix did.

"Hey, Felix." You whispered. The boy was scraping down the last spoonful of his plate and he shot you a puzzled look. "When's Pan's birthday?"

"Ask him." He responded.

"Where's the fun in that?" You whined. "I bet you know."

"Nope."

"You're lying."

"I'm not." Felix shrugged. "He never told me."

"Well that's a surprise." You huffed.

"Just ask him." Felix nodded towards Pan. You let out a sigh, you knew he was right. Speak of the devil, Pan walked over to the two of you and took the seat next to you.

"I heard my name." Pan raised a brow. "Ask me what?" You don't know why you felt your face flush but you glanced at Felix, who immediately avoided your gaze.

You sighed, "Well, we were wondering when your birthday is."

"They were." Felix corrected.

"Oh shut up. I know you're curious too." You scoffed. Pan just chuckled.

"Alright, I'll tell you two." He smirked. "But first, I want to hear your guesses."

"You look like a summer child, so.....June?"

"August?"

"May?" The two of you took turns randomly listing month and dates. While Pan just sat back with a cheeky grin.

"Alright. Wow, you guys weren't even close." Pan scoffed while you and Felix glared at him. Eventually, Pan told you his birthday.

"Oh! That's.....that's.....I don't even know what day it is." You realized. Pan had a smug look on his face.

"Oh don't worry about it. It's not like I expect much anyways." Pan stated. "Alright, it's nearly curfew." He stood up abruptly, dismissing everyone to bed. You eyed him cautiously. You stood up too, but stood besides Pan.

"It's today, isn't it?"

"Hm, what is?"

"Your birthday." You said. Pan shot you a short smile, it wasn't a cheeky smile but something that was all too familiar. "Come on." You took his hand and dragged him away from the camp.

"—(Y/N), seriously, I don't really celebrate—"

"I'm not hearing you out." You dismissed. Pan caught up with your pace, not resisting anymore and the two of you walked hand in hand through Neverland. Eventually, you came into a clearing where the view was absolutely breathtaking. It had a perfect scenery of the ocean with the full moon, the forest behind you. It looked like something out of a fantasy world.

"I see you've done some exploring." Pan chuckled. He was taking in the scenery and wasn't paying attention to you rapidly trying to set stuff up. So when he turned around to look at you, you were already sitting with cake. "Where–?"

"I was saving it." You replied. "For a special occasion, but I think that time is now." Pan sat across from you. In the dim moonlight, you could see a soft smile forming and....were those, tears?

"....thank you." He turned his face away to brush away the tears.

"Pan—"

"I just got dust in my eyes, I'll be fine." He dismissed and you let out a short giggle at how stubborn he was.

"Come on, it's supposed to be a happy occasion. That's why it's 'happy birthday'." You teased. "Happy birthday, Peter." Throughout the night, the two of you finished the cake under the stars while conversing. Soon enough, it came to an end and you walked back to camp with Pan.

"How can I thank you?" He cleared his throat.

"What is there to thank? It's the bare necessity."

"Either way....you still cared."

"Fine, since I know you won't stop pestering me." You bit the inside of your cheek. "I'll take a hug."

"A hug?"

"A hug." You smiled. Pan just shrugged and brought you into his embrace. You squeezed him gently as you felt him relax into you. Although your grip on him began to loosen, he didn't let go. You held him as he buried his face in the crook of your neck. "Are you alright?"

"Mmm, I like this."

"Hey, this is suppose to be my gift."

"I know you're enjoying this." Pan mumbled and you chuckled. He let go and you swore you could see the flush of his cheeks.

"Good night Pan." You smiled. Pan's smile faded as he nodded, a little sad that you had gone back to calling him 'Pan' instead of 'Peter'.

"Good night [Y/N]." He replied. "But next time, call me Peter."

"Will do!" You chuckled before heading towards your tent. Pan left with a giant ass smile.

Felix

He was a quiet and reserved guy, so it wasn't a surprise when the other lost boys couldn't answer your question. You had known Felix for quite some time, yet he never mentioned his past nor his birthday to you. But you bet that one person knew.

"I don't know." Pan shrugged. You stared at him in disbelief.

"You're kidding."

"I'm not." He scoffed. "When have I ever 'kid'?"

"Do you want me to answer that?" You raised your eyebrow at him as he smirked at your rebuttal.

"Fine." After he told you the day and what day today was, you thanked him quickly before making a beeline to your tent. You realized you didn't have anything for Felix, no present, no card, no cake. So you rushed back to Pan to tell him your plan.

Eventually, Felix returned from the hunt with a few other lost boys. You rushed to Felix, "I can get that for you." You insisted.

"It's okay, I got it." Felix dismissed.

"No I got it." You assured. He stared at you in confusion before finally handing the hunt to you. There was a soft grunt from you, but ignored Felix's raised brow. He went to Pan and watched as you lugged the hunt to the campfire. You immediately told the returning lost boys the plan, and they all agreed. The rest of the night, everyone took Felix's regular duties. Which left him confused and a little sad.

"Am I no longer your best man?" You overheard him asking to Pan.

"What? Of course you are." Pan scoffed. "I just thought, today may be a good day for you to get some rest. The other lost ones can handle it." Felix didn't seem convinced, but he just nodded since it was Pan.

Finally, as dinner came to an end, the campfire started. To further avoid suspicion from Felix, Pan began the tune as normal. You watched in anticipation as Felix tended to the fire. Then, the music changed to a tuned down 'happy birthday'. The lost boys began to dance and clap in rhythm as Felix's expression turned dumbfounded until you brought out the cake, provided by Pan.

"What–?"

"Happy birthday, Felix!" You smiled. Pan smiled as he watched Felix blow out the candles and everyone cheered. You distributed cake to everyone, obviously giving Felix and Pan the biggest piece.

"You told them, didn't you." Felix whispered to Pan.

"'Course I did." Pan smirked. "Happy birthday, Felix." You watched as Felix's face flush and nod. You turned away before they could catch your gaze.

Pitch Black

You had the entire day thought out. The morning would be casual and simple, then you two would go out for lunch - to a restaurant or cuisine of his own choosing. Return to spend more time together before you cook him his favorite dinner and finally give him his gift, then watch horror movies together. You sighed in content and hoped the day would actually go as planned.

Though, speaking of Pitch, he was nowhere to be found around his entire lair. You searched high and low until the shadows stirred.

"Oi, where's Pitch?" You asked them. They scowled and whispered amongst themselves until they finally answered.

"A Nightmare had escaped last night, and Lord Pitch went out to take care of it. The mare had caused quite a havoc." You gritted your teeth. Of course this would happen on a this day, the last birthday, he had gotten trapped in a dream catcher. You just hoped it wouldn't take long.

A few hours went by and you decided to start prepping for dinner. The fearlings curiously watched you, inching closer but you smacked them away from the food.

"Lord Pitch should've arrived by now." The Fearlings all sighed, and you joined them. You stared at the collection of horror movies he had. "Oooh, that one is good." They pointed at one of the horror movies and you picked it up. As you scanned the summary, a lone fearling rushed in.

"He's here! Lord Pitch is on his way!" The other Fearlings cheered and you sighed in relief as Pitch descended into his lair on a nightmare.

"–Ridiculous. Get out of my sight before I vaporize you." Pitch growled as the Nightmare galloped away. "Should've left them to the Guardians." His stern face diminished when he saw you and realized the time.

"Pitch–"

"(Y/N), I am so sorry for the delay.....I wasn't expecting it to take so long–" He explained, but you went in for a hug.

"Happy birthday." You sighed. Pitch gently rubbed your back in reassurance while the Fearlings snickered nearby. He sent them a deathly stare and they all went running into the shadows. Finally, you pulled away and dragged him to the kitchen. "I made you dinner, it might be cold but I can reheat it. I know you had a long day–" you started, but Pitch pulled you towards him. You faced him, flush against his chest as his other hand cupped your cheek before he pressed his lips to yours. He pushed you against the counter and lifted you on top of it, his hands now gripping your waist.

"The dinner can wait, I'd rather spend this moment with you." Pitch hummed.

Jack Frost

You knew Jack's birthday was coming up and you wanted to prepare something special. It's been a few years since you two met and of course you would throw a tiny celebration. By 'tiny' it would just be the two of you. You had already set up the cake, it was an ice cream cake and it was decorated with extreme care and thought.

Now, you stood in your room trying to plan out the entire day for him. "Perhaps if I took him ice skating.....? No, that's too simple. What about an amusement park? Too busy and he might be reminded that some people can't see him......" You were busy thinking out loud, that you hadn't noticed Jack fly in.

"Yo." He finally greeted, causing you to jump. "So? What's so special about tomorrow that's got you so worked up?" He didn't know?

"When did you get here?" You rushed around trying to clean up your room.

"Eh, just a minute ago." Jack tilted his head at you. "Do you plan on doing something tomorrow? Cause I'll be busy." Your heart sunk. Truth be told, Jack was just messing with you.

"Oh, huh. I was hoping we could spend the day together." You chuckled nervously. Jack shook his head. "You can't even visit for a minute?"

"Nope." Jack grinned. Which made you realize his little prank.

"You little–" you scowled as he laughed. "Jerk."

"I'm sorry–" Jack cried out in between laughs.

You rolled your eyes and smirked, "you know what? No cake for you."

"No." Jack gasped.

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, (Y/N)!"

"Nope, it's too late." You smirked as Jack played along. Sooner or later the two of you came to an agreement when the birthday would start.

The day finally arrived and you were starting to worry about how plain his birthday might've been. And it was definitely difficult to navigate without Jack having to use his powers.....despite him making it clear that he was fine with it, you still insisted on driving. Truth be told, there wasn't much to do in Pennsylvania, even if you drove for a couple of hours. So, you took Jack around town and bought everything he wanted or needed.

"Are you sure? I don't want to waste your money like thay......I know how hard you worked for it." Jack scratched his head.

"Yes I'm sure." You grunted out, ignoring the strange look the cashier was giving you. The two of you settled on ice cream as you walked around, even coming across a lake where the two of you dipped your feet in. The peaceful moment lasted about a second before Jack kicked water at you. The water fight was one sided as Jack turned the water into ice, and you were shivering from the cold. "Jerk."

"You love me."

"In your dreams." You teased. As you drove back home, you couldn't help but think it was too simple. "....I'm sure you've had better birthdays in the past......I'm sorry if it's too boring or something like that." Jack gave you a quizzical look.

"No, this is the best birthday I could ask for. I don't know why you think that it's boring....." Jack chewed the inside of his cheek. "I had a lot of fun, and I have you to thank for it. Plus, I never really knew my birthday when I lost my memories."

"Oh fuck, I'm sorry Jack."

"No don't be." He smiled. "I genuinely had fun, but don't stress yourself out. I always have fun whenever I'm with you." The rest of the drive, your face was flushed but Jack was busy staring out the window to notice. You returned home and brought out the ice cream cake, lighting the candles and singing the traditional happy birthday song. Jack couldn't stop from staring at you, even after the song was over.

"Make a wish." You smiled. He nodded before closing his eyes and reopening them to blow the candles out.

"Thank you." Jack smiled, his cheeks flushed as he pulled you in for a hug. You went shock still from the surprise, but wrapped your arms around him in comfort.

"Happy birthday, Jack."

Summer or Spring?

Summary: You are the Spring Spirit that has the Winter Spirit aka Jack Frost in love but there's one spirit that doesn't take that very well.

Pairing: Jack Frost (ROTG) x fem!reader.

Warnings: Stalker talking, a little bit hard but nothing to worry about, toxic environment, happy ending I promise.

A/N: English is not my mother language, so don't be so hard on me bc I'm still learning. Hope you enjoy it!

MASTERLIST — MASTERLIST OF ART

*****

Jack was flying as fast as he could between the trees of the forest with heavy breathing trying to run away from her, he still didn't understand how the two could be close without causing global warming to explode, but according to North he once told him that the spirits can be close to others without affecting the human world, however, for the spirits themselves they can affect each other if they were together for a long time and that is what he felt when she was by his side, apart from not he knew how to make her understand that he didn't want her to get any closer to him.

A branch caused him to collide and fall to the ground face first, groaning as he propped his head up with his hand as he sat up as a body jumped on top of him crushing him completely. With a lot of effort, the guardian of the fun was able to get her away from him a little.

"Hey! Why are you taking me away from you Jack?" The girl in front of him talk so calmly and with a smile.

"Sunny, seriously... I can't be with you..." He said exhausted from all the chaos that she was doing for him. "What about our powers?"

"We will find a way Jack, so we can be together for eternity as a couple." Jack swallowed hard, an eternity sounding too loud in her head to be with her. With a nervous look he rose from the ground following her steps.

"I'm not talking about our powers, Sunny, I'm talking about... I... I don't love you."

The golden-haired girl looked at him confused and hurt by the confession.

"What are you talking about, Jack? Of course, you love me, it's obvious." She said with a little anger in her voice.

"No, I'm really sorry if I ever made you believe that but no, I love someone else."

"No, that's impossible Jack Frost, you have to love me." She said angrily as a ray of light illuminated her, Jack knew the problems that came from her because her spirit of summer was the opposite of him and she had an advantage of that.

"Sunny... Calm down, okay?... Just calm down..."

"Don't tell me to calm down!" She raised her hand to him throwing a ray of sunlight that threw him against a tree, weak from the heat she felt at that moment because the opposite of her tried to get up from the ground.

"Sunny... P-please... You're hurting me..."

"If you're not mine, you won't be anyone's Frost." She raised both hands towards him ready to finish him off and launch her Sunbeams to finish melting the spirit of winter, when she released the rays they did not reach Jack because a green shield was covering him from being literally "melted".

When he saw who had saved him he was a bit surprised.

"I can't resist much, do it now!"

A boy with reddish hair fell from the sky, causing the branches of the trees to make a cocoon, enveloping the spirit of summer, who was screaming with rage after ruining his plan.

Jack looked at the brown-haired girl and she held out her hand to help him up, which she did.

"You do know we won't always save your skin, right Frost?" The named sighed and nodded, he had already recovered a little of his cold essence and he didn't feel as weak as before.

"I'm sorry you had to come..."

"Yeah, well... It's not like we have anything better to do either, oh wait, we have to bring the seasons to the world!"

Jack looked at the spirit of autumn and spring in embarrassment as he scratched the back of his neck.

"I already said I'm sorry Tyron."

"Yes, it's always the same thing Jack."

"And now why did she try to kill you?"

Jack swallowed hard to see the spirit of spring with a slight blush.

"I... I told Sunny that I didn't love her."

"Ouch, I'm not surprised he tried to kill you."

"Tyron!"

His sister scolded him, he shrugged and pointed to the cocoon where the girl was still writhing to get out.

"I have to take her to Mother Nature, so look there and try not to put yourself in danger, Frost."

"Aww, you care about me."

He teased the spirit of winter earning a dirty look from the red-haired boy, and without further ado he left with the tree that had trapped the girl deep in the forest.

"I think I should go too, I must take spring to other places yet." You prepared to fly away when Jack grabbed your wrist to draw you back to him.

"Wait... Am... Thanks for saving me Y/N."

You smiled denying. "Don't thank me Jack, that's why we're co-workers, right?"

"Yes... Co-workers..."

You looked at him as he looked down at his feet and cupped his cheek lifting his gaze from the ground.

"I know what you think Jack, and I also would like to go out with you."

He saw you surprised to know his intentions with you and blushed a little, which made you smile.

"Y-you... How...?"

"You're obvious Frost, I don't take all the credit."

You winked at him smiling and started to walk away from him without stopping talking.

"Meet me in Europe at sundown, if you're late I'll tell Tyron to put you in a cocoon too!"

Jack laughed in denial as he watched you walk away and begin to lift yourself into the air.

"Don't doubt that Flower!"

"See you later Ice Cube!"

You laughed while you were going to your next destination to bring spring to this one, while Jack was left with a silly smile on his face, he loved your attitude but more importantly, he loved you and not Sunny, that's why his response will always be Spring.

The Missed Potential of WISH

It’s funny.

Last year, I really wanted to watch the new Wish animated film from Disney.

While everyone else were hating on the art and animation style, I actually kind of liked it and was genuinely looking forward to possibly viewing it on the big screen.

Then the reviews came in. Needless to say, I didn’t watch Wish.

I remember a time when people used to complain about Disney making “too many love stories”. Then Disney stopped making love stories leading to films like Moana, Coco, Encanto and even Turning Red, which weren't bad.

Following the failure of Wish, the biggest complaint I’ve heard for that film is that “it probably would’ve been more successful if it were a love story”.

The last romance Disney had we’re the protagonist was a “black girl” was Tiana from The Princess and the Frog which was technically their last 2D animated feature film.

And don’t get me wrong, til this day, The Princess and the Frog still tracks. Second to Tangled, I still very much love TPATF and it's one of Disney's classics that definitely have the rewatchability.

That being said, Wish is the first Disney film I've seen where the missed potential of what its story was originally supposed to be (herego a love story between a human girl and shape-shifting star boy) versus what we actually got is more popular.

Aww Disney, what were you thinking?! How could you think a film where the main character, who is a PoC, the first "black girl" (well technically I think Asha is meant to be mixed) female lead/love interest that you've had since Tiana in The Princess and the Frog in 14 YEARS where she is actually human for all of the movie and gets to share a love story with a handsome "star boy" who can literally make all of her dreams come and think that that's NOT gonna make you money!

I haven't even watched Wish yet I've seen more artwork and fan-made animatics of Asha and Star Boy than anything from the actual film.

At this point, Disney should just take all of the original ideas they left on the chopping block for Wish and revise them into a future title which is an actual love story they could market from.

Or…as an audience, we can just wait for one of their competitors, like Dreamworks to smell the blood in the water like the sharks they are and capitalize on Disney’s latest flop by taking the ideas they didn’t use and coming up with something that could potentially usurp the popularity of Wish’s failure.

In the case of Dreamworks, they don’t even need to make a new star boy since, technically, they already have potential “star boy” they can use.

Remember Rise of the Guardians?

Hahaaaaa OF COURSE you do, since it gave us the original immortal boy internet heart throb (also ironically voiced by Chris Pine who played King Magnifico in Wish) ---Jack Frost.

I find it hilarious that another reason why folks are hating on Wish so much is because Disney could've given us another potential immortal boy heart throb "Star Boy" to finally usurp the chokehold that Jack Frost has had on our generation of weebs and artists for the past 12 years since RoTG first dropped.

We could've had it all.

But as I mentioned Rise of the Guardians, did you know that there is character in the original series it was based off of called Nightlight?

While technically not a “star boy”, Nightlight is the closest thing to one in an already established universe from a Dreamworks property and since this squiggle meister never misses a beat to push for continuation of Rise of Guardians, hear me out:

Imagine a Rise of the Guardian prequel-sequel about the character Nightlight and make it a love story.

(Because apparently there's a girl that Nightlight grows close to in his story called Katherine. It's just a friendship but needless to say, there is potential there).

I know it’s been 12 years since Rise of Guardians first dropped and I know I've be hollering for a sequel since 2012.

But c'mon, if there was ever a time for Dreamworks to capitalize on an RoTG sequel, it's now.

As Wish has proven, the internet is hungry for another handsome immortal boy with magical powers.

Dreamworks set the ball rolling with Jack Frost.

If Dreamworks were to revisit RoTG again, take Nightlight's story. Take his design and give him the "Jack Frost" treatment and make it a love story on top of that.

I'm not saying it will happen. Not even saying it could happen.

But if somehow thought becomes reality and something like this does actually happen, whoever does it will be rolling in dough.

This is just a longwinded way of me to say that somebody needs to bank on the concept of a star falling in love with a human and do it now since as the internet has shown, it's what the people want and what Wish failed to give.
