Valentines (North/Bunny)
Valentines, was the day put aside for love, lovers and secret crushes. A day to remind that special person that they mean the most to you. A day when you can finally tell the cute person in the third row of your class that you really like them. Cupid would be out with his arrows, helping people find love while his mother Aphrodite, would be answering any and all prays to do with love. North had no reason to celebrate Valentines in over 500 years, until now. Last year just after Easter, he and Bunnymund became a couple. It had certainly been an eventful year, and when Christmas came, he had very little time for his bunny. Christmas day and New year were celebrated with everyone and now Bunnymund had returned to his warren to start getting ready for Easter. North knew that once Bunny started his eggs, there was very little that could distract him from it, other than his guardian duties. Still North wanted to spend the day with his love, so started planning. He had gone to Aphrodite's temple in Greece, apologising first for coming so soon before her holiday and asking for her advice. Dite had been more than happy to help and advised North to make Bunny a card, picnic basket but most importantly just spend the day with him.
"He's most likely so busy with his eggs that he's bound to forget to eat. If you spent the day helping him, I'm sure he'd be happy" she told him. On Valentine's day North, taking Dite's advice, sat down at his workbench and started making a card. Home made one made it more personal she had told him. After a lot of, glue, glitter and cuss words later it was ready. He then went in to the kitchen to prepare a lunch for them. A warm carrot pie, a fruit salad, a salad and sandwiches. He was wondering between wine and elderflower water when Jack Frost came in.
Jack and North had become close as father and son, so when the warmer weather came Jack stayed with North at the North pole. It had been a bit awkward between the young teen and his lover at first but now both seemed at ease with one another to get on...most of the time.
"Jack, are you here today?" North asked slipping both bottles in to the basket.
"No, I'm spending as much time as I can with Jami...with the kids, before the warm weather hits"
North chuckled but decided not to comment knowing that Jack was a bit sensitive about his feelings about his first believer. "Its valentines, I'm going to spend it with Bunny"
"You know he's bound to have forgotten don't you? He's terrible with dates outside of Easter"
"It's not important that he remembers, I want to be with him and make him special. I was wondering if you were about to keep an eye on the things, but if you're not, it's not a big thing"
"Still don't trust them after that whole holiday thing huh?" laughed Jack "I can hang around for a bit, I have to wait until the kids are out of school anyway"
"Thank you" said North as he picked up the basket and one of his snow globes. He gave it a simple shake and waited for the image of an Easter egg to appear before smashing it to the ground. A portal then appeared for North to walk though, and on the other side was a lash green warren covered in flowers. North walked though the green fields and past Bunny's rabbit hole. He found Bunny sitting by the purple river surrounded thousands of eggs in need of painting. There was several paint cans around with multiple size brushes. Bunny was so engrossed by what he was doing that he failed to even noticed North was behind him. North looked over to see he was working a blue egg with a orange pattern on it.
"Very nice"
Bunny left up nearly dropping the egg he was painting, luckily North caught it.
"Crikey North, you almost gave me a heart attack, and then what would have happened to Easter?"
snapped Bunny as he snatched the egg back, quickly looking it over for any damage.
"Always so jumpy" laughed North as he kissed Bunnymund on the nose. Bunnymund smiled as he placed the egg down for it to match with all the other finished eggs.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you Mate, but what are you doing here?"
"I came to spend the day with you isn't that enough?"
"I'd love to spend the day North but I can't, not with Easter just over a month away"
"I came bringing lunch as well as offer to help with eggs" smiled North holding out the basket.
"What seriously?" Bunnymund looked very surprised before smiling again "North that would be great if you could, but do you mind if we eat a bit later? I really want to creak on"
North hid his disappointment when he placed the basket down beside the rocks where they would be painting. He had hoped that Bunny would take a break there and then, so he could give Bunny his card.
" Oh well, this was important to him, so it was ok" thought North as he picked up a brush and swirled it around in the light pink pot. Bunny was exultant that North was thoughtful enough not just to help him but to also bring him food. He could count on both paws how many days he almost went without food just to finish of the batch of eggs he had been working on. And although North still ribbed him about Christmas being more important the Easter, he was still here painting eggs with him, enjoying the small talk and just being together. A few hours later, Bunny stretched and looked at the finished eggs to the ones that still needed painting. Between him and North they had certainly made a dent.
"Why don't we stop now for that lunch of yours?" said Bunny looking down at North who had just finished a beautiful purple and pink combo.
"Sure, let me wash up our brushes and myself while you set up?" said North gathering all the brushes used.
"Alright" said Bunnymund as he reached for the basket, while North made his where back to the clear stream to wash up. He pulled out the blanket and laid it out, before rummaging through the basket to see what North had bought him. It was one of the many things he loved about North, he was a fantastic chef. Although he was a meat eater, North always made more vegetarian dishes for him. While empting the contents of the basket Bunny came across something red and oddly shaped. He pulled it out to look at it, it was a heart shaped covered with Easter eggs and Christmas trees, with a neatly written "Happy Valentines" on the fount. Bunny opened it up and couldn't stop smiling as he read the following;
To Bunnymund
Roses are Red
Sweet is Honey
My one and true love
Is my Easter Bunny
I love you My Valentine,
Love
North
X
Although the verse was cheesy, Bunnymund found himself rather touched by the sweet gesture. Though he thought it was odd that North was giving him a valentine when it wasn't valentine's day until...today.
"Damn, what am I going to do?" Bunny was racking his brain for something to give North for Valentine's when the winter spirit come back.
"Is everything ready? I'm starving" smiled North as he sat down on the blanket. He then noticed what Bunnymund had in his paws. "Ah, I wanted to give that to you! Have you read it yet?"
"Yeah...it's wonderful"
"You do not sound happy? It has not offended you has it?"
"What? No! I'm love it, it's really sweet, it's just I don't have anything to give you...I forgot"
"The only thing I want is you Bunny, now come here" North opened up his arms. Bunny sighed as he curled up in North's lap, resting his head on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry North"
"Why Sorry? I'm in enjoying this. It's been a long time since I had a Valentine, to share this day with. I know that you are busy this time of year and I was not expecting anything. Besides you can always make it up to me after Easter"
Bunny blushed, after Easter he usually goes in to heat and North was more than happy to help.
"I still feel bad North"
"Then how about you make me promise?" Bunny looked up at North and nodded. "You promise me, that you will at least try and spend as many of the holidays with me as you can"
"That it? That's all you want?"
"Yes"
"All of them?"
"Of course"
Bunny quickly made a mental list of the other holidays "That's a lot of celebrating North. Do you think either of us will have time?"
"If it's with you, I'll always make time" said North as he pulled Bunnymund in to a deep kiss.
The End.
I know, short but sweet. But this was bugging me and wouldn't let me write the next chapter of rampant Rabbit if I didn't get this out of the way first. So Please Review and let me know what holiday you wish to see celebrated next.
