It had now been three days since Jack last saw the Bunny, and he was now in Chile making it snow in a rural town that was near the western coast. He somewhat relieved and disappointed that he hadn't seen the rabbit out on the terrains of Australia during his last two days there.
Relieved because he felt like he couldn't handle another emotional experience. Disappointed because that meant he couldn't be around in the company of his new ...friend? At least, that's what Jack wanted Bunny to be.
It had surprised that they had stayed with each other for a long period of time with neither talking to the other. About two hours with no words spoken, no interruptions, and no awkward stares.
Jack had actually enjoyed the company, and now that Bunny was gone he was starting to crave the other's presence once again. Not that he would ever say that, of course.
Jack groaned, how could this be happening. Was he that desperate for the loneliness to disappear that he would use Aster to make sure he could be rid of the feeling.
It wasn't as if he didn't get attention. He got quite a lot of it actually, from boys that loved to pull pranks with him, to the girls who had been reading to many novels about finding romance with a mythical being that flirted with him. Of course, he would never take the girls up on those offers.
It wouldn't be a hard relationship. If they could see him, they could feel him. It was all a matter on time to him that actually made him not want to pursue a relationship with any of them. If he did well he would grow feelings and if he grew feelings he would have to care. Which was something he couldn't do.
Because at some point he would have to give them up. They weren't immortal like him so when they left he remained, and it wouldn't be right to continue on and on in relationships with people if he wouldn't be able to stay with them like lovers should.
Which is why he wished he could maybe find another spirit who might actually love him enough to stay with him all eternity.
Jack chuckled, maybe he had been spending a little bit to much time with Tooth. He couldn't even remember the times he used to only think about fun and other non important things since he had begun talking to her.
She had been drawling on and on about romance and other things he dare not say or face an angry Tooth Fairy.
She was actually pretty cool to be around. After you got around her creepy fascination with teeth, especially his. Sometimes he actually planned to go to her castle in Southeast Asia during the upcoming winter with bits of spinach in his teeth just to scare the crap out of her.
But he loved her to much to prank her like that. Though it was a platonic relationship between the two, of course. She reminded him to much of an older sister to pursue a relationship with her in anyway. That was a border he was not willing to cross.
He couldn't be blamed for feeling that way towards him. Sure, Tooth may have shown affection to Jack in the past, but now she had seen past the teeth and decided that maybe it was better to treat him as a friend.
She treated him like a normal person, with the a few exceptions here and there, but it was nice to have someone who you could relate to. To share your past with, and to not regret giving any of that information away. She was someone he could place his life in and know that it would not be taken for granted, but treated with the upmost care. He loved those traits in her, making her a great friend.
What shocked him though was that he was finding hose traits in Bunny as well now. He wanted to be able to do all the same with Bunny. And what was causing this was what? A few chats with the other and a quiet breather.
He had never been so easily won over by another like now. These few things changed his view on the Guardian so much that it scared him to think that he was beginning to get vulnerable.
"Hey,Jack," A high-pitched, but calming voice called out from behind him, causing him to jump a little. "Hehehe, didn't mean to scare you, what's going on?"
Well speak of the Devil, huh?
He turned to face his very colorful-feathered friend, smile on his face." Hey, Tooth," he said," I'm fine, but quick question?"
"What's on your mind, Jacky," She said, giggling at the small blush that tinted Jack's cheeks from the use of the nickname.
Jack pouted at the giggling of course, but asked his question anyways. " Just wondering when it's Sandman and North's turn to pop up behind me a scare the crap out of me?"
She laughed at the fact that she had scared the teen, and that he admitted it, something that she had never thought Jack to do.
"Aww, I'm sorry Jack I didn't mean to scare you," she said, clearly amused, yet still apologetic.
He smiled," It's fine, Bunny scared me more anyways."
They both laughed at the statement. Ever since the whole turning into an adorable bunny, it had been pretty hard for people to think of the Guardian as anything scary.
"Speaking of Bunny, he's been acting weird these past few days," Tooth said, turning to Jack, concern ridden all across her face.
Jack's smile fell, Aster had been fine that day he had talked to him, what could've happened in the time he wasn't there?
Tooth took Jack's silence as a cue to keep talking so she did." I saw him moping about as I went to pick up some teeth from the children in the area. He said nothing was wrong but I think he was lying. Especially since he's a horrible liar and tried to say that he had to see North make some toys."
"What's wrong with him helping North out?" Jack asked, wondering how that could be considered a lie.
"Easter's seven months away, this around the time that he begins to work on his eggs and other things," Tooth answered back," he wouldn't be helping around this time, only after Easter does he help prepare the toys, and that only last for a few months."
"Maybe I should go see him," Jack said, surprising not only Tooth but himself as well.
It wasn't a bad thing to do, it would actually give him the chance to repay Aster for being there when he was moping around.
Tooth didn't let the moment slip," You should definitely go see him, it would be a really nice thing to do, maybe add a little fun to Warren."
Jack's lips curled into a smile," Fun's my middle name, milady," bowing in a mock fashion to Tooth, who giggled from his antics.
" Well then hurry along, the King would love to see his jester making fun in his depressed time," Tooth said, keeping the game up.
"Then I am off my queen!" With that Jack climbed his staff and had Wind ship him off to the location of the depressed Easter Bunny. The Warren.
