READ BETWEEN THE LINES
Chapter 1: Letters
Jack flew through the hall at top speeds knocking over yetis and elves without a single care. Was he squealing? No, that was bad he wasn't that happy. Okay he was, he really was! He had to find the others and fast. Bunny was going to flip. He was bursting with excitement from the news he had to tell them.
It was the eve of Valentine's Day. In all honestly Jack loathed Valentine's Day, but if he was even more truthful he had to admit he enjoyed seeing all the happy couples together. He hated because it was such a lonely time for him. It had reminded him how much he was unloved and unwanted. Not this time though. Although he wasn't in love with anyone, he wasn't going to be alone which was a plus.
Apparently every year or so North threw a party for Valentine's Day. According to Tooth North took every opportunity to throw parties, this was nothing different. The big man had managed to wrangle all the Guardians into helping with the preparations, even Bunny who was stressing being it so close to Easter. Jack chuckled. That rabbit worried way too much, but it made Jack smile when he saw his ears flicking around on their own accord.
"Guys!" Jack called out.
He burst into the room and crashed into Sandy. The pair fell to the floor in a tangle of frost, sand and purple and red streamers.
"Sorry about that Sandy," Jack said helping the man up.
Sandy made a racing car a snowflake and a question mark. Why were you going so fast?
"Oh right! Everyone look!" Jack shrieked.
They crowded around the winter spirit as he produced from the pocket of his hood a golden envelope.
"Um Frostbite care to explain," Bunn said eyeing off the envelope.
Tooth suddenly squealed in delight and hugged Jack.
"Okay what's going on?" Bunny asked.
"Oh Jack I'm so happy for you! It's a bit early isn't it? Oh who cares? It must be because of your teeth."
"Ha sure Tooth whatever you say," Jack said with a smirk.
"Hopefully you find out. Oh and when you do you better tell me straight away! Promise?"
"Absolutely. Cross my heart and hope that my teeth fall out."
"Jack don't say that!" Tooth snapped.
He merely laughed, "Sorry Tooth. Cross my heart and hope to die,"
"Jack!"
"Alright just cross my heart that I will tell you when and if I ever know. I still can't really believe it to be honest."
"You deserve this Jack," Tooth smiled.
"Can someone explain?" Bunny snapped.
Tooth and Jack looked at each other. He shrugged and gestured for Tooth to spill the news.
"Jack has a valentine!"
The silence that followed made Jack frown and hang his head. At least Tooth cared enough to be excited for him. Tooth glared at three stunned Guardians and nudged North in the ribs.
"Ah yes. That is great Jack! Who is it from?" North asked.
"Well it's says 'Dear Jack. I've been meaning to tell you this for a while. You're wonderful. You're a truly lovely person. I love you. Sincerely your secret admirer.'" He read beaming.
Sandy patted the boy on the back. When North tried he almost fell over from the force but was thankful for the encouragement at least. He glanced at Bunny. His face was cast in shadow.
"Ah is someone jealous?" Jack teased.
"What?" Bunny said snapping his head up, "Why the hell would I be jealous Frost?"
"Because I got a valentine and you didn't!" Jack sang.
"Jack that's very childish." Tooth scolded.
"Yeah okay. Sorry Kangaroo."
"Doesn't matter because it's obviously fake," Bunny stated.
"What?" Jack snapped.
He flew over to Bunny and glared into the rabbits frowning eyes.
"Isn't it obvious? Seriously Frostbite how thick are ya? It's a hoax."
"Why?"
"Because no one loves ya!"
Jack didn't flinch. He barely moved. Bunny glared and Jack and Jack glared back. With that he stuffed the letter back in his pocket, kicked his staff up and walked towards an open window. He turned towards Bunny.
"People can love me. Why can't you just be happy for me? I'm not that bad. I thought you would know that. I'm not that bad so that no one would ever love me."
Jack jumped up on the window.
"I'll show you. I'll show you I can be loved."
Then he jumped into the embrace of the Wind and left.
Ouch Bunny. So? :S Yes, no? Total rubbish abandon ship now? Continue? Opinions?
