Aster stayed holed up in his Warren for the next week. He painted, repainted and re-repainted dozens of eggs before he decided that this one egg was perfect. It was a light blue with small snowflakes falling from the top, each one individual. A miniature Jack Frost was flying across the egg, laughing as he made beautiful frost creations. Bunny had managed to capture his mischievous nature as well as his protective side and he thought the egg was perfect for his snowflake. Now all Aster had to do was work up the courage to give his gift to the oblivious winter sprite.

"Get it together, Bunnymund," Aster snapped at himself as he paced in his burrow, "It's just an egg. No big deal. Give the egg to Frostbite. How hard can it be?" He psyched himself up and with a determined nod he made his way topside in search of his potential mate.

Aster checked North's place for Jack only to be told that he hadn't been there since the party. Bunny left quickly and made his way to Tooth's palace.

"I saw Sweet Tooth the other day!" Tooth exclaimed excitedly. "He was really excited. Something about a new friend he had made. He was talking so fast I could hardly understand him! Haha!" Tooth laughed happily; glad that Jack had found someone else he could spend time with. He was finally opening up to others and slowly making friends.

"What friend?" Bunny asked, a feeling of dread settling in his stomach. It had better not be that pretentious no-good-

"Eros," Tooth answered. Aster growled, cursing under his breath. Tooth smacked him on the arm.

"Bunny! What has gotten into you?" She asked, hands on her hips as she glared at him.

"I don't like that annoying, diaper wearing spirit," Bunny grumbled. Tooth giggled.

"He hasn't worn diapers for centuries now and you know it," Tooth admonished. "If you're so worried about Jack spending time with him then you should probably hurry and find him."

"Why? Where are they?" Aster demanded.

"Jack said he was going to show Eros his lake, then they were going to race, and Eros invited Jack over to spend the night at his place," Tooth said, smirking slightly when Aster's eyes widened in horror.

"He what!?" Aster shouted. His delicate snowflake couldn't spend the night at Cupid's house! The god of love was a total player and only hung around with someone long enough to get in their bed. Once he had he would leave them and go centuries without ever seeing them again. He wouldn't let the annoying prat break his snowflakes heart, or get in his bed. That spot was reserved solely for Aster.

"Thanks Tooth!" Aster shouted as he tapped the ground twice, opening up a tunnel to Jack's lake. He bounded quickly down the tunnel, jumping out at the other end. He quickly began looking for Jack, frowning when he couldn't see him. He sniffed the air, taking in the scent of mint and freshly fallen snow.

"Jack," he whispered. He was somewhere nearby; Bunny just had to find him. "Frostbite! Oi, Snowflake! Where are ya'?" Aster heard faint laughter coming from the nearby forest and set off. He stumbled upon Jack and Cupid flying through the air, dodging trees and scooping up snowballs to throw at each other. Jack laughed brightly as he smacked Cupid in the face and Bunny snorted.

cupid retaliated by tackling Jack into a snow bank. They rolled a few times before coming to a stop, Cupid resting on top of Jack as they laughed breathlessly. Aster narrowed his eyes and quickly hopped forward when it looked like Cupid was starting to lean down closer to his Jack.

"Frostbite! I've been everywhere looking for you," Aster said loudly, smirking inwardly when the god of love fell to the side in surprise. Jack jumped up, brushing snow out of his hair as he stepped towards Bunny.

"What's up Kangaroo? You don't normally come here during the winter. I thought it was too cold for your delicate senses," Jack teased as he scooped his crook up from where he had dropped it. He leaned against it at he smiled up at the older guardian.

"I can visit if I want," Bunny grumbled, "unless you're too busy?" He added, shooting Cupid a withering glare.

"Course not! Just having fun with Eros. We're racing!" Jack explained.

"Not much of a race from where I was watching," Aster sneered. "You were obviously winning." Jack smirked proudly.

"I know right!" He turned to grin at Eros. "I told you so! You're way too slow to beat Jack Frost!" He teased the older spirit. Eros chuckled as he walked over and slung an arm around Jack's shoulders, pointedly ignoring Aster.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, Frost. Ready to head to my place? We can start planning that prank I was telling you about," Eros suggested.

"Oh, sure! It's going to be the best prank I've ever done!" Jack said excitedly. Aster cleared his throat and Jack turned back to him, blushing a light blue. "Oh! Sorry, Bunny. Did you need me for anything specific?"

"I actually came to give you something. I thought you might like it," Aster said as he reached into a carrying pouch and pulled out the elaborately painted egg. He handed it to Jack who slowly took it from his paws, cradling it gently between both hands as he examined every inch of it.

"It's beautiful!" Jack breathed, stroking the shell reverently. "You made this? For me?"

"Yea. I thought you would, you know, appreciate it. I was gonna make a few more like this and leave them out for Easter. Try to get you some more believers. Maybe you could come by the Warren and help paint some, if you want," Bunny said, watching Jack closely. Cupid was fuming behind the winter sprite and Bunny flashed him a smug smile.

"I'd love to!" Jack shouted. He threw his arms around Aster in the first hug he had initiated with any of the guardians. Bunny wrapped his arms around his little snowflake, breathing in his wonderful scent and reveling in their closeness. "Thank you, Aster." Aster felt his heart swell with pleasure hearing his name come from Jack's mouth. His plans could finally move forward. "You're the best friend I could have ever asked for." And his plans screeched to a stop, caught on fire and crumbled to ashes. Jack pulled away from him, leaving Bunny to stare numbly at the softly smiling spirit of winter.

Friends? Friends! Cupid was silently laughing at him from behind Jack's back, nearly falling down in amusement. Why, oh why, did he have to pick such an oblivious person to decide to court? He had never painted anyone an egg like that before and Jack thought it was a gesture of friendship? He had practically shoved his feelings right in Jack's face! Jack turned to Eros still cradling the egg carefully in his hands.

"Hey, can we maybe plan the prank next week? I wanna go show the others my egg and help Aster paint some more. Is that okay with you?" Jack asked hesitantly. Eros sighed before smiling gently at Jack.

"Sure thing, Frost." Eros pulled one of his heart shaped arrows from his quiver and handed it to Jack. "Next time you want to hang out just shoot this into the air. I'll find you." Eros explained before he stepped closer and softly kissed Jack on the cheek. Jack blushed a deep blue and Bunny saw red, barely restraining himself from attacking the god of love. Eros rose up into the air, waved once and then flew away. Jack turned to Bunny and grinned sheepishly.

"Come on! Let's go show North what you made for me! It really is the best present ever," Jack gushed as he smiled happily down at the egg.

Aster sighed and nodded, tapping the ground twice to open a tunnel to North's workshop. Jack had loved his gift but he had also still thought they were just friends. And he had been kissed by that playboy god, Eros. Bunny fought the urge to press his lips to Jack's cheek to wipe off the foul taint of the other spirit. He followed Jack down the tunnel and resolved to try harder next time. He would have to do something drastic. Something he would never do for anyone else. Bunny groaned as he realized exactly what he would have to do. Jack had better appreciate was he was going to do and Bunny had better not freeze his tail off or catch a cold.
