Since so many wanted it, I'm turning this into a story. More like one shots sometimes related, sometimes not. The next one will be Bunny's point of view on this situation.
Also, I will be writing up my uploading schedule with the summaries for each story at the end of this chapter. The uploading order is also on my profile!
Enjoy:)
Another meeting.
If you could call it that.
North and Bunny are arguing about whose celebration is best, Sandy is chugging down eggnog while having a conversation with Tooth. It didn't bother the little man that it was constantly broken off due to the fact that she was giving orders to her fairies. She was busy, he knew that. They forgot about me. Again.
Nothing I wasn't used to.
I had spent many a moon fending for myself. I may have a pack, but I would always be a lone wolf.
The four were all sitting in their comfy armchairs next to the fire. Bunnymund's and North's were furthest apart probably due to the fact they constantly argued and so this way, they were next to the fire but could claw each other's throats out if it got ugly. Tooth's and Sandy's chairs were in the middle, close together, so if the two were at it again, they could easily converse to keep themselves busy. There was nothing for me.
It's territory forbidden to me. I'm backed up into the corner, against the wall, keeping the harsh cold that radiated off me, away from the others. They didn't notice.
"..ou think, Jack?"
I look up and see Bunny and North both looking expectantly at me from the other side of the room.
"Wha-?" Was the only the thing that came out of my mouth. I look at them, worried that they'll think me strange and abandon me. But instead, Bunny just repeated his question.
"Which do you think is better, Easter or Christmas?"
My mind wandered back to the Christmas days that I spent alone, looking through windows longingly, wanting some one to care about him so much as to give up their favourite space on the couch or for them to share their blanket or watch a movie with me. I think about how I tried my hardest to break into the North Pole on Christmas, hoping maybe North would be willing to spare an extra present. But from how surprised he was when I was chosen as Guardian, he probably never knew about my break in attempts into his home.
I think about the other option. Easter. If I was still the naïve mortal kid I was before, I would of said 'Easter' in a heartbeat. I loved looking for those brightly coloured goodies. Especially the ones that Bunny his in harder to reach places for the older kids. But when I became Jack Frost and tried to participate in the hunts, I would get a stern warning not to even think about his precious eggs. And the Easter of '68. I wasn't thinking. I was upset. I had dared to ask if I could join in with one egg hunt, even just for one small egg. He ignored me and my request like everyone ignored the beauty of my snowflakes. I lost it. I destroyed every egg in the victiny in what Bunny called a childish hissy fit. He shouted at me, hit me, mentally and physically scarring me. I never dared leave my lake in Burgess on Easter after that.
None of them realised how much their holidays hurt me. How many bad memories they gave me.
I realise that all of the Guardians, including Sandy and Tooth, were waiting for my reply.
"Well," pushed North.
"None.." I murmur, hoping no one would hear it and eventually leave me alone like they did earlier.
Sandy made several exclamation marks with a question mark after them, above his head, clearly showing his thoughts. 'What do you mean none!?' He said.
Bunny added. "There must be one of the two that ya like a little bit more..."
I stand up, feeling the tears brim up in my eyes.
No! I couldn't let them see me cry!
"You never really gave me any reason to appreciate either did you?" I ask, voice as cold as the wind that carried me. I didn't want to hear what they said next or what expressions had decorated their faces. I fly out through the window and hid by the outside wall, able to hear everything inside.
"Should we go looking for him?" That was Tooth, but I peaked through the window and she hadn't even got up from her chair.
"Nah..." I never heard what Bunny said after that. Why would I want to? It was probably some comment about me going to ruin someone else's special day or something along those lines. I flew away from the Pole, to Antartica knowing that I had proved myself different once again.
I'm Different And It Hurts.
My Kit: One-shots, drabbles and archs focusing on Jack and Bunny's brotherly which eventually turns into a father/son relationship
Second Chances: At 28 years old, Jackson Overland's life is harder then he ever imagined. The MIM takes pity and sends him back to that fateful day on the lake. He becomes Jack Frost but still has memories of his past life...
By My Side: What if Jack hadn't drowned alone? What if there were two Winter Spirits?
The Ultimate Ultimatum: Bunny, North, Tooth and Sandy disappeared 3 years ago. Who is going to be The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and The Sandman? Jack Frost. Belief is at an all-time high. But Jack is at an all-time low. And he has to bring snow as well. But how will that change when he has to make a huge decision when he finally finds them?
Frosted: What if Jack Frost accepted Pitch Black's offer?
I'm Different And It Hurts: He always knew he was different, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less
