Chaos And Love (Frostbunny Ship)

Talking

(A/N: Spoilers for the moive in this chapter)

*Bunnymund's p.o.v*

It had been about twenty minutes sense I came into this area and it was obvious frost bite was moving around trying to find me likely out of concern but, it may be out of loneliness as well. The egglets aren't exactly conversationist as they had no mouths to do so which honestly is a blessing. Just imagined them with mouths was horrifying to think about and I quickly got that image out of my head.

As I left the spot where the pookan memorial and the transport area for the message eggs were I had decided to use one of my tunnels to get to where Jack was. My heat was controlled for now but, I knew It was only a matter of time before it came in another wave which meant I needed to be careful. If Jack finds out I honestly don't know how he'd react. He may be in a pookan form now but, he is still a human first and  foremost.

As I showed up Jack's ears honed in instantly and went to my location looking like he had been worried despite us being in the Warren though luckily the fire spirits hadn't gotten in. they would have torched this place in seconds to get us both out much like hunters flushing out prey. Shaking my head to get another image this time from the attack on my kind years ago out of my head I had rubbed at Jack's right ear to show I was ok. The bugger I'm finding out is very clingy to affection  and seems reassured each time it's shown. Honestly that fact is painful to think about and knowing we guardians except sanderson were all guilty of neglecting him at his most vulnerable never will sit right.

Jack for his part had a look of relief which concerned me. Did he think I left or was it the fact he was suspicious of what I was doing? Honestly it was likely a little of both judging by the slight look of confusion in his facial expressions when he turned my hand over gently and saw the paint on my paws from me treading through the dye spring's tunnel system to get to Jack's location and quickly thought of a fib to ease his curiosity.

"Hey frostbite, sorry for being gone a bit I was attending to one of the other parts of the Warren doing a check on the googies for the next easter. Was making sure they were doing ok. How are you doing?"

Jack had responded with obvious annoyance but, also relief though soon what he had to say had me trying to think of a truth that would be believable to cover the fact I was in heat as I didn't want to scare him away fully. When jack spoke he said

"Why didn't you tell me which part of the Warren you were cottontail? I was concerned. You've been acting off the last two days and I want to know if I'm the reason. If so I can let you be and go back to my lake. I can defend myself better now. If my presence is making you uncomfortable I don't mind giving you space."

Hearing those words were hard and though my heat had been triggered by Jack's pooka form it was becoming difficult not to blurt what was going on as it made me feel dirty knowing my heat made me desire a literal kid that had been trapped in a teen body for as long as he had been around. He would never grow into an adult body and I was unsure if he would be able to understand the more intimate side of things fully.

Again we guardians don't know what all he's seen though judging by the way he acts sense he seems so carefree more often then not but, he had also shown us he had a vulnerable side which the slime ball pitch started taking advantage of. Making obvious doubts and disbelief run through Jack's mind. We as guardians were able to feel it though we honestly didn't know it was Jack at the time until we heard what happened from baby tooth when everything settled after Pitch's defeat.

She had told us about what she was able to see despite being injured herself. She had said she heard Pitch snapping Jack's staff which elicited a cry of pain from Jack before suddenly he fell into the bottom of the glacier landing fairly close to her. She then meantioned laughter and the sound of wood hitting the ground.
