Bunnymunds lost love
It was in the year 1702 during his Easter runs when Bunnybund first met the little ankle biter, "gotcha!" the little kid exclaimed as he chucked a potato bag over bunny's ears. Bunny glanced around noticing a little light brown haired boy with brown sparkling eyes looking back at him with an expression of delight. "oh g'day ya little ankle biter" the boy would of been around 6 or 7, began to pout "hmf I'm not little" the boy crossed his arms and looked at bunny, unamused that the large rabbit that HE just caught was now lightly laughing at him. "sorry mate, what do ya suppose I call ya then?" bunny was shocked at what he just said, he hadn't really ever talked to a child before, and he hasn't really spoken to the other guardians recently, and recently to them means decades well apart from the one meeting a year "Jack!" the little boy smiled brightly "that's a brute of a name" bunny crouched down and faced the young boy who had a big smile, eyes full of joy and a tad bit of mischievousness. Bunny ruffled his hair enjoying the boys presents which is rare for him, even he knew that. Bunny reached up finally to take the scruffy torn bag off his head and lightly placed it on jacks, just covering his eyes "ill seeya next year jack" and before jack knew it, the bunny was gone. Jack was upset that bunny left because he had no real friends, he was teased by the other young children at the village due to his small petite size but jack trusted bunny's words and decided to wait till next year for the large rabbit. "He doesn't really look like a bunny" jack thought as he walked back to the village.
Bunny returned to his Warren after finally delivering all of the little googies. He sighed exhausted from all the running around he did, but he hadn't forgotten about the little boy with brown crystal eyes that seemed to be full of life and fun. Bunny caught himself smiling at the thought of the young little ankle biter, he chuckled lightly as he laid down on his homemade nest within the little cottage, full of pillows and rugs that hugged him nicely and comfortably, then falling into a deep sleep but not lifting the thought of the child from his mind.
A whole year had passed and Bunnybund was actually excited to see the child again and Jack, well jack was about to pee himself of excitement. Bunnybund had been working on special egg for jack in the past few months and hoped that jack would like the special egg that was painted just for him. Bunny was slightly nervous about the idea of giving a gift, he hadn't given a gift for centuries, well personal gifts anyway.
Finally the large rabbit reached the small isolated village that seemed to always be quite cold, much to bunny's disliking. He hopped a long placing little eggs as he went where the children would find them, "BUNNY!" he heard a young voice cry out with thrill. "Jack!" bunny held his arms out instinctively as jack jumped to hug the large rabbit. "I'm turning 8 soon" the boy sung "oh really, so ya all grown up then" Bunny chuckled as the sweet little boy nodded humming as he did to justify a yes. Bunny placed the boy on his two feet as he reached something in his little bag "I've got somethin' for ya" Bunny held his hand out reveling a beautiful egg, painted delicately, it had a green base that swirled with dark shades and light browns that formed into tree trunks with sparkling blue and green leaves that almost seemed to move like they would in real life. It was one of a kind and it was all Jacks, the young boy stood there speechless for the first time in forever not knowing how to say thank you with more meaning than simple words. Jack loved the egg it was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen. Jack then latched onto Bunny's legs from the left side hugging them so tightly " thank you so much Bunny" jacked sobbed into the rabbits fur, bunny placed his hand of top of jacks head slightly stroking his paw through his hair "it's alright mate" Bunny then realized the time and had to leave quickly to get all the eggs placed in time "sorry jack seems like I hafta go" jack looked up at him sad that bunny had to leave so quickly " don't worry mate, I'll be back next year"
Bunny continued to see the little ankle biter every year and always gave him a special egg each time. He watched Jack mature into a young teenager, quicker than Bunny had hoped but he knew that one day Jack will stop believing in him.
It was now the year 1712, 10 years since Bunny has known Jack and now he was turning 17. Bunny looked around where they normally meet on Easter and was slightly puzzled to why Jack wasn't there. Worried Bunny began to call out "Jack, jack?" finally a figure appeared from the dense forest that surrounded the village. The Pooka smiled at his friend who seemed to stare right through him, "now there was a reason why I had to be here today" the rabbits stomach turned, his ears pushed back as he thought that Jack had finally stopped believing in him, a grin appeared on the young boys face as he stared now at Bunny "what's with the grim look bun-bun?" Bunny growled lightly at the little nickname jack had given him over the years but was relieved that Jack still believed in him. Jack over the years had turned into a little devil in Bunny's opinion, always playing pranks and jokes. Jack chuckled " don't worry mate ill always believe in ya" mocking Bunny's accent. They laughed and joked for a bit and Bunny revealed the egg he made him this year, "oh wow!" Jack exclaimed his brown eyes glistened against the moon as he looked at his new egg "do ya like it" Bunny asked already knowing his answer "I love it!" Jack hugged bunny, wrapping his arms around the large rabbits chest and resting his head against his fur humming a tone of pleasantness making bunny blush secretly. Over the last two years jack had matured quite nicely, his brown hair was short but hung over his ears and tickled the back of his neck with the slightest curl, he was still petite for his gender and age, but that's what made him so adorable to bunny. Bunny knew his feelings for a mere human let alone a young male was wrong so he pushed it deep into the back of his mind forcing himself to believe he looked at Jack like a little brother. "oh I got you something this year to" Jack pulled out a little bag, handmade that could fit around a good dozen googies in there, the bag was green with a pattern of two single blue stripes that were sewed at the top, the little bag was a simple over the shoulder but Bunny loved it, it had lots of work put into and care. Bunny was now the one speechless. "Thanks jack" bunny smiled back up to the relieved boy who was glad that his friend had liked his gift. They hugged goodbye as Bunny made his way to the rest of his long journey to finish his job, Bunny once again couldn't wait till next year to see Jack, his best friend, and jack had exactly the same thoughts.
A few days later Bunny sighed as he once again had to attend a guardian meeting, every year it was the same stuff, every year it was a pain in the ass for the tired Australian and every year Bunny still had to go. He just wanted to see Jack again, but no he had his duties. All he had to do was wait another 11 months and a few weeks to see... Him. Bunny sighed at the thought of Jack, he was warm to touch and his brown hair shifted beautifully in the wintery breeze eyes sparkled like the moon they stood under, Bunnymund started to wonder how would his lips taste, "wait- stop it you big lug!, you can't like him, he's mortal and so young" Bunny mummbled to himself. He walked out of his hut and out of his warren and up to the surface to clear his head. He gazed up at the brightly lit moon "Manny, will I ever find someone to love, who I can love forever? I never asked for much all I want is a mate who I can keep close and love... like my love for Jack" he pleaded sounding desperate, bunny sighed and turned away from the moon. "Like that would ever happen" he thought as he made a tunnel back home wishing that Easter would come again soon.
Finally Easter had once against arrived, and Bunny was more excited than usual he wanted to see jack more than ever. Bunny raced around depositing eggs as fast as he could, beating old records. He couldn't wait, but finally he reached the forest of Jacks village and waited, and waited, and waited. Bunny thought maybe jack is stuck at the village, so he quietly went through the village not seeing any sight of Jack. Bunny was puzzled maybe jack was pulling one of his pranks so bunny didn't let down his guard knowing jack could be lurking around the corner and any second now he would jump out. No sign of the boy, Bunny had an awful feeling that jack had now finally forgotten about him. Saddened by the no show of Jack he quickly finished his job which took another 5 hours and once again made his way back to Jacks village wearing a large black cloak so the children couldn't recognize him during the day light, he didn't fuss about the adults they couldn't see him anyway. Bunny walked through the little village and saw that no one was happy, not a single person. "Must of been a death or somthin" that would explain why Jack wasn't there last night, he would of been far to upset of a death of a close friend or family member of some sort. Bunny felt guilty that he thought Jack might have forgotten him or that he was pulling pranks. Bunny walked on still trying to find Jack but still nothing, he saw a little girl sobbing her heart out to an older woman, he figured it was her mother. Both had brown hair and stood outside of their cottage were the large crowed was standing, people walking up and gave hugs and words of courage through this hard time. "Must be the family". Bunny felt depressed about the whole thing, including not seeing Jack, so he walked around for a bit wondering where jack was and maybe he will bump into him. Bunny came across a frozen lake that seemed deformed as there was a large displacement in the ice that laid on top of the small lake. Thin ice made it clear that something had recently been through, like an animal. That's when Bunny noticed all the placed flowers around the icy lake and scratched writings into the thicker ice that bunny had to get closer to read. Bunny shuffled across the lightly littered snow and was now facing the writing on the ice.
Rest is peace Jack, will love you for ever
Jack you are the town's hero always will be
I'll miss you jack, you left to soon
And the writing that was the messiest
Jack, you have been there for me until now why did you leave and why couldn't we both live, I didn't want you to go not now not ever, jack please come back you are my hero my friend my brother
Bunny eyes poured like waterfalls knowing his friend his crush was now within the waters of the iced lake, the lake that Jack once mentioned was great for ice skating, the boy that bunny had looked all over for was never going to be found. He sat there sobbing for hours not knowing what to do. Until he felt a tap on his shoulder, turning around to see a little girl with red eyes, her hair was brown the same colour as Jacks and Bunny knew at that moment that this little ankle biter was Jacks little sister that Jack loved with his whole heart, and within in her arms laid 9 little eggs all hand painted by him " my brother would want you to have these" she said in the softness voice but loud enough for the large rabbit to hear bunny reached his hand out and pulled the little girl closer into a soft warm hug, "Jack said you were real, he always spoke so much of you" the little girl sobbed between words trying to get her breathing back to normal. "Thanks little ankle biter" bunny gave a slight smile and took the eggs from her hands, he tapped his foot and formed a tunnel to the warren. "I'm not little" the girl puffed with a slight smile back wiping her tears from her cheeks, Bunny chuckled and placed the eggs into the bag that Jack had made him and gave a slight wave to the little girl and made his way back home.
It took years for Bunny to ever really try and get over what happened to Jack. He made his trips short when it came to Jacks village, sometimes he missed it knowing the googies would find their way there. It was hard for him, after all his whole species was wiped out after pitch attacked his own little Pooka village hundreds of centuries ago.
