[Enough time has passed for the Guardians to find their presents. Time to check in on them then. It was a long day but North wanted to make a quick check on everyone else before heading to bed.
Checking on Jamie however was more heartwarming than he ever thought. Once again - North was standing over this sleeping child's bed. His Christmas present obviously well-received (which may have given North a shot of pride and happiness) and, unlike that night long ago, all was well for now.
Unlike this time however, this one child means a great deal more to the Guardians than ever before. Jamie, their last light, had saved them all and now it was the Guardians' responsibility to take care of him.
Well. Better start proving that he could handle dealing with a child full-time. North gives a quiet chuckle (thankfully no dancing but there are no promises for the morning) and begins scooping up the remainders on the floor to throw away. Once he's finished, North turns back to Jamie. Without jostling him too much, he tries to fix the blanket and tuck him in more securely.
North takes a step back - feeling a little more content than he had in days. He pats Jamie on the head gently before tip toeing back to the door. He whispers before he leaves:]
