Chapter 2
Get Away
…
His eyes were having trouble opening, he rubbed them roughly. His vision slowly came back and his eyes instantly landed on…Jack.
"I feel like if I have butterflies in me stomach." Said Clover as he inched a bit to Jack.
"What the bloody hell?" Said Bunny.
…
Jack's eyes widened as the large Irish Folklore started walking towards him slowly and a bit creepy. He took a step back but the man kept coming. "Uh…hey there Clover, you alright?" said Jack nervously. The man didn't respond as he inched towards Jack. He raised his arms as if he was either about to attack or something much worse…kiss him. Bunny examined the man and his actions and when he finally figured out what he was going to do, he quickly hoped up to him and kicked him hard which made him land on the floor with a loud thud.
"Ey mate there's no need for those type of actions towards the kid l'right?" said Bunny as he walked towards him. Clover shook his head and looked up at the tall Rabbit. He scowled as he got up dusting off his shirt, looking right into Bunny's eyes he grunted. "What's wrong with ya?" Bunny asked.
"Yee don't tell me what ta do." Spat Clover. "If I want to kiss him then I have the right too. Who are ya, his body guard?"
"Kiss him?!" said Bunny. "Why would you want to Kiss Jack?"
"I like him! So what, is that a crime?!"
"You don't like him Clover, you got hit by one of Cupids arrows!" shouted Bunny.
"I did not! Leave me alone or I'll have to teach you a lesson the hard way." Threatened Clover.
"Oh no I think it's me who'll be teaching ya a lesson mate." Bunny said while taking out his boomerangs and spinning them around skillfully around his paw. Clover only smirked as he took out a large pocket knife and took a step forward towards Bunny. Jack's eyes widened. He has never seen a fight involving a knife towards two fellow guardians his whole entire life. Bunny eyed the knife but his anger only grew, he wasn't going to back down. He was no coward.
"Hey!" shouted Jack. "Knock it off both of you." He ran in between the two and pushed both of them further away from each other. "Clover go to that room and just wait until I get there." He said. Clover looked at the boy only feeling nothing but warmth and butterflies he only nodded with a gulp and did what he was told. "Wait." Said Jack. Clover immediately turned around. "Give me the knife." He said. Clover only rolled his eyes as he slowly handed Jack the knife and left.
"Mate you know I'm not just going to let ya go in there alone to talk to that confused leprechaun by yourself righ'?" said Bunny. There it is, that feeling again that Bunny will never seem to understand. Ever since Pitch was defeated, he and Bunny have been getting along very well. Although there was one time where Jack was in trouble and he felt something inside him take over until he knew that he was safe again. What is that feeling exactly, he was not sure. So to think that Jack would go into a room alone with that confused Leprechaun that was somehow sexually attracted to Jack was just not going to happen.
"Look everyone; I'm sorry that I even brought my bow in the first place. I've had it with me for so many years I just sometimes forget that it's even there you know? It's a part of me." Said Cupid. He sighed as he walked over to Jack. "Look Jack I'm very sorry, I'll do everything that I can to make a new potion to make him not be in love with you anymore. Although I can't guarantee how long it will take me. It can probably take me months." He said frowning.
Jack smiled as he walked up to Cupid. He placed his hand on his shoulder, squeezing it lightly. "Hey there Cupid, don't worry about it. I know that your bow is a part of you, like my staff here." He said giving his staff a little twirl. "But you just take your time okay? It's really not a problem, I mean love isn't a bad thing right?" asked Jack.
"No…no it isn't." said Cupid smiling down at him.
"Then don't worry okay? I'll try to explain to Clover about the situation okay?" Jack looked around the room to find everyone just staring at him. "Look guys, it's no big deal," he said chuckling. "Everyone just go on and continue to party and just have a good time alright?"
Everyone agreed that maybe they should continue the night with a good time. This was the party of the year, and they certainly won't forget about it that's for sure. As everyone resumed their partying activities Jack slowly started walking towards the room that Clover was in. He started walking when he felt a large furry paw on his shoulder. "Mate I'm not letting you go. Let me do this, l'righ?" Bunny said. Jack brushed his paw off and turned around to look up at him. Bunny's face was a mixture of anger, worry, and maybe something else that Jack can't really point out.
"Bunny you don't have too. This isn't your fault anyways, it's no one's actually…this is all an accident. Why are you so worried anyways?" Jack asked. Honestly why was Bunny worrying so much? So what if Clover is now in "love" with him. Just because someone loves you, that just doesn't mean that it's a bad thing.
"Listen Jack, you see…" Bunny couldn't really come to terms as to why he didn't want Jack to go in there. What was it really that worried him? "You see it's just that I don't really wan' him to ehm…" he paused. "To sort of try to do something to you, ya know?"
"Like what?" asked Jack.
Bunny sighed. "Look at least let me come with ya." Said Bunny. Hopefully things wouldn't get heated if he did go in with Jack. Clover sure did seem to have a temper, especially with him. Although Bunny didn't want to admit, it did feel rather uncomfortable if Clover would have tried to force Jack into any sort of activity. Bunny had to go with Jack, for his safety. Jack thought for a moment and thought that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea. As long as Bunny behaved though, then everything should be fine.
"Alright you can come, just behave and don't try to fight with him." He said. Bunny only nodded as they both entered the room. There was Clover walking around the large room, it was a room with a little library, a nice set of couches, a fire place, and many paintings covering the dark brown walls. Clover was examining each one until he heard the door open.
"Hey Ja-," he stopped mid-sentence as he saw Bunny come in. The Rabbit had a light scowl and Clover knew that he was clutching on one of his boomerangs from behind his back. "Oh now what is he doin' here?" Clover asked as he walked up to them.
"He's my friend Clover, is there a problem?" Jack asked.
"Well…" paused Clover. "I guess not." He walked towards one of the couches sitting down crossing his arms. "So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about eh Jacky?"
Bunny rolled his eyes. He and Jack sat down on the couch in front of Clover's and he can't help but sniff with disgust as to how repulsive Clover's mouth smelled like. A mixture of alcohol and meat, what if he did kiss Jack? Poor little fella. "Well Clover I need to ask you something first." Said Jack. "What do you remember happening before you got up from the floor knocked out?"
"Em…I'm not exactly sure. It's all sort of a blur." Clover closed his eyes thinking. All he can really imagine is some sort of pink scene. "Honestly all I see is a pink weird cloud." He said chuckling.
"You see that right there Clover, is it. That's what happened." Said Jack. "You see, you know how clumsy some of the elf's can get right? Well one of them accidentally shot you with one of Cupid's arrows. So when you got up, your eyes landed right on me which made you fall in love with me." Said Jack.
Clover frowned as Jack continued explaining the story. Was this true? Was all of this true? So does that mean that this amazing feeling that he feels in his heart is just a…a mistake? "No Jack…I don't want to hear it anymore, don't lie to me." Said Clover. His voice was soft but it also sounded sort of sad. "So you're telling me that this was all a mistake?"
Jack nodded.
"No Jack it can't be." He said.
Bunny examined every small action that Clover is doing. He kept scratching the back of his neck, rubbing his arms, he was even clenching on one of the nearby pillows. He made sure that he wouldn't try to do anything sneaky and try to hurt Jack. "It's true Clover…I'm sorry." Jack really did feel pity for Clover. Over the years North has been explaining to Jack the complex emotions that a human has to go through in life. Jack being a guardian has never experienced an emotion other than happiness and sadness. There is more to life and he just doesn't know. Love was something that Jack has never experienced before so of course out of curiosity he asked North to explain. North has had experience before he became a guardian down in Russia.
He explained to Jack how it felt to love, no not a family member, but someone who you would actually want to "be" with. Jack was a bit disgusted but at the same time fascinated. North has explained to him how hurtful heartbreaks can be, and by the sound of it, it sure did seem painful.
"Listen Clover, Cupid is going to start a new potion that can get you out of the spell that you're in now. Don't worry, everything is going to be alright." Said Jack.
"But what if I don't want to go back to how things were?" said Clover. "Jack do you not know how amazing this feels? I may have fallen in love with you for barley over an hour but I feel like if I'm sort of meant to be with you!"
Bunny crossed his arms as he sank back at his chair listening to this strange conversation. "Honestly how strong is Cupid's arrow's? The man has gone completely insane!" Bunny thought.
"Look Clover I'm sorry but I'm not in love with you." Jack said completely unaware how painful that'd hurt Clover. Clover said nothing as he stood up and headed angrily towards the door. Although as he was about to leave he looked back at Jack and said one last thing.
"Jack…can ye at least think about it?" asked Clover.
Jack thought for a moment. "Sure." He said smiling. And with that Clover was gone, leaving with some hope that maybe Jack might give him a try.
Bunny's eyes widened as Jack has said what he had said. Sure? "Jack ya can't be serious?!" he said.
"Don't worry Bunny; everything is going to be okay. I can't just hurt him like that, it's not his fault." Jack said standing up. He stretched and yawned looking up at the clock. "Come on, let's go eat some cookies and drink some hot chocolate before we go to bed okay? The party's not over yet."
Bunny couldn't stand all of this madness anymore, but what Jack was offering wouldn't hurt now could it? He stood up and walked behind Jack as they headed towards the main room where everyone was sitting in one large table eating and laughing. It appears that Clover has left, which was a relief for Bunny. Jack and Bunny sat down on the two left empty seats for them as they started to have a conversation with their good old friends.
Jack looked at the assorted pastries in front of him and his smile was so big that everyone can tell he was loving this. When it came to sweets Jack was a happy little kid. He saw a specific cookie that caught his eyes, it was a snowflake sugar cookie with a cute design on it, he tried reaching for it but just couldn't. Bunny looked down at him as he tried grabbing the pastry, he couldn't help but chuckle as Jack tried reaching for it. "Is this what ya want mate?" Said Bunny as he easily grabbed it.
"Aw are you gonna eat it?" asked Jack.
"On one condition…" said Bunny.
"What?"
"You stay away from Clover until he's cured." Said Bunny.
"Bunny I can't just do that to him, he's really confused and-"
Bunny continued listening but was slowly starting to put it into his mouth. Jack's eyes widened as he reached up for it. "No Bunny, NO!"
"Promise?!" asked Bunny.
"But I can't jus-"
It was too late; Bunny has already placed it inside his mouth chomping the sugary taste. He smirked down at Jack who looked like if he was about to cry but instead did something worse. Jack gripped on his staff and shot a blast of ice onto one of his ears. "OW!" shouted Bunny.
"YOU ATE MY COOKIE!" Jack shouted.
"WHY CAN'T YOU KEEP MY PROMISE!" shouted Bunny.
"THAT'S IT!" He flew up and started chasing Bunny. How else to start the run then by climbing up on the table and knocking everything over that was in their way. With Bunny's quick speed Jack tried to catch him, shooting Ice Blasts at the rabbit but he kept missing. "You'll pay for this Bunny!"
"BOYS!" shouted North as he ran after them.
Tooth palmed her face.
"Does Jack know that there is another plate of the exact same cookies right over there?" asked Cupid.
"Oh I think he knows." Said Tooth.
