Jack's New Pants/How He Got His Hoodie
"Bunny!" Jack called flying around the Warren, looking for his mate.
Easter had just passed and he had done his best not to bother the elder Guardian while he was working hard the months leading up to the holiday. Now the teen wanted to make up for lost time. After searching all of Aster's usual spots, Jack figured the rabbit must be in his underground home. He urged Wind to speed off toward the small hill that was the entrance to the Burrow.
Landing lightly on sparse cobble stones in front of the small round door, he called out his lover's name once more. Jack flung open the door, bolted through a small sitting room, down a tunnel and found the Guardian in a small circular kitchen with a circular window, stirring something on a gas stove. The teen crashed into his back and grabbed his cold arms around the rabbit's middle.
"Crikey!" Aster shouted, stopping himself from falling onto the stove. "Watch it, Mate!" He turned his head to see the happy white haired boy clinging to him. "What's up?"
Jack backed up as Aster turned down the flame and put a lid on the pot. "I got new pants!" the boy said excitedly.
Aster looked down at eh boy. Honestly speaking, he couldn't really tell the difference, most clothes looked the same to him. He did notice these new pants seemed to be a bit longer and made of a different material, but other than that the color was the same. "What's the difference?"
Jack rolled his eyes. "They're skinny jeans!" Aster still didn't get it. The boy sighed and raised the front of his hoodie slightly, "Look, it's got belt loops, a button, a zipper and are a whole hell of a lot easier to get off." The teen's mate finally understood the meaning of the new garment.
"How'd you get 'em?" he asked.
"The same why I got my hoodie," Jack answered with a shrug.
"How'd ya get yer hoodie?"
"I…found it." Jack looked a bit sheepish.
"So ya stole it," Aster said crossing his arms.
"Nooo," the boy answered, rocking on his feet and holding his staff behind his back. "It was on someone's clothes line and it just…flew off."
Aster shook his head. "So the Wind stole if tor you." Jack shrugged. Aster rolled his eyes and turned back to the stove. "Want some stew?"
"Sure! And later we can see if you can figure out how to take these off."
Stuck
"Bun…ny, move fa-faster," Jack begged while on his hands and knees in Aster's nest.
Aster grunted. "I can't Mate."
"What?"
"…I'm stuck."
"…How?"
"…Like a tongue on a frozen pole?"
Jack's head fell in exasperation. He felt Aster pick him up even though they were still connected. "What are you doing?!"
"Bathroom. We're gonna need some hot water."
"HOT WATER?!"
"I meant lukewarm, calm down."
Bunny hobbled awkwardly to the adjoined bathroom while Jack grunted and flinched from what the movement was causing where they were connected. In the bathroom, Aster tweaked the hot water nob on the sink just enough to make a small stream of water come out. He then turned the cold water on almost all the way and hoped that the temperature would be warm enough to disconnect them but not hurt his young lover. He took a cup off the counter usually used for rinsing out his mouth, filled it half way and slowly poured it in between them.
"Hot," Jack complained and Bunny apologized.
Once he was able to pull his freezing member out, they both sat on the floor against the wall. The mood was gone, so they couldn't continue what they were doing. Instead the two silently thought two themselves about how to avoid a similar situation in the future. They reached the same conclusion, turned to each other and simultaneously said, "More lube."
Family Reactions
North had called another pointless meeting at the Pole. It was May, so the Easter Bunny wasn't busy this time and there were months before the workshop really got hectic. Jack and Aster were the first to arrive and were having a conversation in the large sitting room on a fluffy red sofa.
"We have to tell them sometime," Jack reasoned with his mate. He couldn't understand why Bunnymund was so nervous about the situation.
Bunny sighed. "We don't have to tell them yet," he said, ears folding back slightly. The teen crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, causing the rabbit's ears to fold back even more.
"I'm telling them," Jack told him just as Tooth, Sandy and North walked in.
"Telling who, what?" Tooth asked while settling down on a loveseat near the fire. Sandy sat down next to her and North found His way into an armchair.
Jack looked over at Aster, who shook his head. He rolled his eyes and gave his attention back to Tooth. "Don't worry about it," he told her. "I'll tell you later." Tooth, always eager for some gossip, looked a bit let down as her little brother figure turned to Santa Clause. "So, what's this about?" he asked.
A wide grin broke out on the Russian's face and he rubbed his hands together. "I am planning on throwing big party!" he announced. The other four looked at him with surprise. "I wish to invite all zee spirits," he continued, "and I wish for you all to help spread new, da? We have it here, four days after Christmas. What you all think?"
"Ooo, a party!" Tooth said excitedly, flying a few inches out of her seat.
Sandy had on a huge smile and nodded approvingly as the form of two hands giving the thumbs up sign appeared over his head.
Aster shrugged and smiled as his show of approval as Jack grinned and said, "That sounds awesome!"
"Good!" Said the jolly Guardian happily. "Now Jack, what were you and Bunny speaking of earlier?"
Aster's ears shot straight up with alert. The boy shook his head slightly as he opened his mouth to speak. "Bunny and I are an item," he told them before his mate could stop him.
The room went silent except for the cracking fire.
Suddenly Tooth burst out. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" she said quickly before giving a squeal and flying up to Jack and Aster. "Oh. My. GOD!" she squealed again. "Since when? How long have you been together? How long have you had feelings for each other? Have you told anyone else yet?" Her questions came a mile a minute and Jack had a hard time keeping up.
North was confused. He didn't understand the saying and looked at Sandy for an explanation. The little golden man sighed silently before using his sand to form what looked like Jack's and Aster's heads in a heart.
Finally understanding, the big man sprang up with a smile too big for his face and congratulated the two. Aster hid his face in his paws with his ears folded completely back while Jack laughed. He pulled the couple into a back crunching hug and after settling them back down he whispered to Bunny, "If you do anything to hurt my boy, I will personally hunt you down, old friend."
"Right," Aster answered with a wry grin and North went back to smiling and laughing.
"Girls, girls!" Tooth called and about 20 mini fairies, including Baby Tooth, flew in. "Big news!" she informed them. "Our little fantasy became reality!" The mini fairies all squeaked with delight and flew around in a blur of green.
"Wait, what?" the couple said in unison
Sooo, what do you think? Lame, right? For some reason every time I write for North I always use a (bad) Russian accent in my head. Oh well. Next chapter will be a full-blown story involving the Ex-boyfriend...yeah. Might take me a while.
