The love for this story keeps pouring in! Originally I planned to catch up on some of my other fanfictions first but I got inspired last night and went ahead and wrote this. Hopefully it turns out as well as the rest of this story has, it doesn't give too much of the plot away but somehow I have a feeling it's not really plot so much as fluff some of my readers are here for haha
But anyways,
I own nothing, only my own fantasy going on here-this was written for fun!
Hope you enjoy,
so it is-
ch3
Nesting
The cavern was too dark to make out much, Jack dragged his staff against the walls like a blind man would his walking stick. Jack wasn't afraid of the dark no, but he wasn't fond of it either. Who knew what went bump in the night? "Jus' a bit fu'ther now" Did Bunny have empathy? Jack puffed his little chest out and continued on with a single mindedness that would be dangerous anywhere else.
He'd show 'em-the darkness wasn't so scary, which Jack thought was true, not when you have somebody with you. And then there was a warmth in his chest, one he hadn't knew he was missing. Jack blinked furiously, a new light hurting his eyes coming so abruptly from the end of the tunnel. "Bunny-are you an angel?"
Aster rolled his eyes "Yeah, now it's time ta break on through to the otha' side Jackie-boy" And kicked him in the butt
"Ahh!"Jack fell, slipping down a steep hill into something soft. Inside Jack was able to make out a dome of stone, filled with little glowing purplely stones, like crystals lighting the room up.
"Wow" he breathed-it was beautiful, rich carvings decorated the brown stones rocky surface, it spiraled and branched of into capricious amounts of other images. Some almost looked like pictures or words, not that they much since to him. He scrunched his nose up at that, he'd have to figure it out, sometime. Right now he'd rather like to know what he was sitting on. The ground wasn't hard stone like above, which maybe it was, buried under the piles and piles of soft banana was it? leaves and other greenery, it looked like maybe some sinew twigs, green and alive at the base. There was a fine layer of whitish fur in the middle where it dipped in, it looked fine and soft, reminding him dreamily of down. He smiled goofily eyes squinted tiredly and trying to bite back a yawn.
Bunny watched as the Sprite looked on merrily, a dream dazed look in his eyes taking in Bunny's personal burrow. Aster didn't remember ever bringing anyone here, funny it was the Show Pony .He snorted at how ridiculous he sounded. Jack stretched his arms out above his head, then with a tiny fist wiped away the nonexistent dreamsand from his kid really was knackered.
"Time fer a nap"
Jack's eyes widened comically at Bunny! "I only look like a kid,Overbite,I don't need a nap!"
"I was talking 'bout me, Snowball" Bunny slid into his nest, pausing on his way to the center of the large bedding to stretch out his tired muscles, Easter was always a strain on him. He'd like to see Ol' give his job a whirl ha! no slid to rely on just good ol' stamina and physically fitness. As his fluffy white tailed ass rose in the air, the cotton tail gave a shake all on it's own, Aster felt the euphoric crack in his back, relaxing his muscles.
"Oh?" Jack looked at little perplexed like Bunny was an especially hard dilemma for a child his age, and maybe in his state, Bunny was. Bunny stood and started strutting towards the downy fur,picking Jack up in one arm on his way, the boy fought profusely.
"Seriously!Buuny-not a teddy-ah come on" the complaints were strung together in a whine. A testy child's whine when they hadn't had enough sleep. Bunny curled around Jack protectively, instincts ,long-forgotten, kicking in as his brain started shutting down.
"Too bright" Jack mumbled sleepily Bunny felt the lights flickering, connecting with there heartbeats, slowly dimming down until they were non-existent. The two falling asleep.
note:[pooka can either exude body heat or keep it in for/due to kits and for themselves that's what Bunny is doing! to explain why being next to Bunny isn't overheating Jack]
"Scratch,Scratch,Squeak"
Jack woke up to a dimly lit room, blinking he looked for the cause of the strange noises. He was still pressed up against the Pooka's stomach. It was cool like a child's stuffed toy, except there was definitely a pulsing heat of life beneath that cool flesh he was pressed into. His eyes scanned the room, nothing was out of place, not even-hair...there were fluffy white hairs falling above him. He felt the Pooka's other arm nudging him slightly, in his sleep Bunny had began to groom himself, combing out his sheading fur. The hairs falling like new snow melted seamlessly into the rest of the pile of snowy white hair, that was one mystery searched further into the darkness, where the light didn't quite reach.
"Squeak,Squeak." Snowflake came running out of the shadows, tripping and falling over his own feet, tumbling down towards the two.
"You okay? Snowflake jumped up at attention, before rushing towards Jack. He hopped on Bunny's firm bicep and freefalling the short distance to Jack's face rubbing himself happily with a squeaky purr against Jack's cold cheek.
"Heheh, stop-you'll wake Bunny. Snowflake just ignored him as he continued jumping foot to foot, until he fell down into Jack's hoodie. "He-heh-Snow-Flake!ha ha-get -out!"
Bunny cracked an eye open, his burrow now cast in an early morning glow of light
"Snow, he yawned curling in tighter around his self imposed charge, what's gotcha' up so early?"
"Snowflake! he's he-heh down my- shirt! he shrieked dissolving into fits of laughter.
Bunny pulled himself from the throws of slumber to inspect the 'situation'. Indeed the wiley thang had gotten itself stuck down Jack's shirt. With the way the two were just rolling around, this could last a while without someone running interference.
Bunny simply plucked Jack up by the back of his shirt, paw laying in wait below him, with a firm shake Snowflake plopped into the palm of his paw. Snowflake flopped back tiredly in defeat, just resting there for the time being. Bunny sat the boy back down handing the egg over to him.
He raised a brow looking at the troublesome two "anything else?"
Jack laughed looking up at Bunny like he had a bucket of oatmeal tottering over his head. "You groom your self in your sleep, did ya know that Bun-bun?"
Bunny actually blushed at that-it wasn't the grooming that was embarrassing, that in itself was normal Pooka, he lined his nest with the extremely soft fur on his chest. But he did that while awake-for his own benefit. He was doing this in his sleep, it meant he was nesting, the presence of a kit in his own burrow had caused his instincts to go off, trying to provide extra comfort for it.
It was Bunny's own personal 'Mothering Mode'
So how was it? As good as you hoped? Please review, and tell me how I did ^_^
I'll try to be quick and constant with my updates, so keep reading :)
