Tried to base it slightly on A Home for Fear!Pitch and Jack o3o hope you like!
——————
Pitch had no idea how he had allowed himself to get talked into going to the North Pole, but somehow Jack had succeeded in doing so anyway. And North had even greeted him rather politely, offering him a hand to shake, instead of going in for one of his usual bear hugs. Perhaps Jack had finally decided to talk North out of it, instead of having to deal with, as he called it, Pitch’s monologues about how he was going to break his spine.
But still, Pitch found himself apprehensive. He wasn’t used to sudden change, and for North to change his greeting habits came off as a bit… suspicious. So he surprised North by suddenly grabbing his hand, and examining it thoroughly, turning it over and looking at his palm as if North might have hidden something there.
“…Is… everything alright, Pitch?” North asked carefully, as the Boogeyman decided he was satisfied with whatever he had not found.
“Yes, quite.” Pitch replied in a dignified tone, that suggested he was happy with his own findings. “Just making certain, that you did not have a joy buzzer hidden in some way.” He said, before looking around their surroundings, as if waiting for something to happen, or perhaps to see where Jack had gone off to.
The Guardian of Wonder gave a slightly confused blink at that, but quickly realized what the other meant. “Oh! There is no prank!” He exclaimed, holding up both his hands to show he had nothing hidden. Or tricks up his sleeves, as it were. “Jack merely suggested that I should try handshake, instead of welcoming embrace for a change, seeing as you do not seem fond of them.”
Pitch snorted at that, just as Jack returned from what was probably the kitchens, given the load of cookies he was carrying on a plate. “Yes well, one can never be too careful.”
“Oh nooo,” Jack chimed in dramatically, while sitting on top of his staff. “You could end up growing fond of the hugs! Heaven forbid.”
North burst out laughing at that, while Pitch didn’t even bother to dignify that with a response.
