Bunnymund tapped his fingers on the counter awkwardly trying to avoid looking North in the eyes. A small elf waddled over and placed a glass of milk beside bunny.
"Milk, Bunny?" North offered.
Bunnymund recoiled from the milk a bit, "Uhh, no thanks mate. I'm lactose intolerant." He declined politely. North took the glass of milk and chugged it in only a few seconds, he threw the glass behind him nonchalantly. "So Bunny, what's troubling you?" North asked gently. North had a little habit of being a father figure to the other guardians, he was always willing to listen and help out with problems no matter what it was. Bunnymund sighed heavily, "Well . . . it's uh, Jack." He began uncertainly. "Jack huh? He's causing trouble for you I gather?" North mused. He had turned around to continue working on his latest creation which Bunnymund had interrupted the process of. With a small chisel and hammer he crafted small details in the block of ice he was working on. "Yeah . . ." Bunnymund muttered. North stopped working and turned around to look at Bunny. He came over and sat down at the counter. "I am feeling this is more than just one of Jack's pranks." North said thoughtfully. Bunnymund nodded silently, his ears drooped as he rested his chin on his paws. "I'm just sort of confused." He sighed. North titled his head a bit, "Confused about what my friend?" He asked.
Bunnymund then told North about all the things that happened between him and Jack. He was a little anxious about what North would say about all this. "The question is Bunny, do you like Jack?" North said after a moment of silence. "That's where I'm kind of stuck mate." Bunnymund grumbled, "I mean, I like Jack but not in that kind of way but at the same time I do like him in that kind of way." He continued. Bunnymund smoothed his ears back out of stress. North was quiet for after Bunny finished, his arms were crossed as he thought deeply to himself. "So, what should I do?" Bunnymund questioned, slightly hopeful. North shrugged a bit and then patted his belly. "What I would do is tell Jack how you feel." He suggested kindly. Bunnymund groaned, he got up from his seat and headed toward the door. "There you go Bunny! Good luck!" North called. Bunnymund just wanted to get this over with.
The weather was warming back up after Jack's little snow storm, butterflies were fluttering about in pairs of twos and Bunnymund felt a little melancholic pang in his chest. Bunnymund took a deep breath and pushed the feeling away, no time to start feeling sad now. He cautiously approached Jack's lake, making sure no one was around. The lake was now fully thawed and the croaks of frogs could be heard from somewhere in the water. Bunnymund looked up into Jack's tree which is the place where you normally find Jack but he wasn't there this time. Bunnymund sighed a little sadly, he turned to leave and try elsewhere until a cold wet mass dropped onto his head from above. Bunny shook his head quickly to shake the water off and looked up into the tree. Jack was stretched out on a branch with his arms behind his head, looking like he was relaxing.
"Oh hey, didn't see you there." Jack said. Bunnymund took a second to look Jack over, he didn't look too well, his cheeks were starting to turn pink and he looked like he had been sweating. Just like how winter wasn't Bunny's thing, spring and summer wasn't Jack's.
"You feelin' ok snowflake?" Bunnymund asked with concern.
Jack shrugged, "A little warm for my tastes but I'm fine." He smiled nonchalantly.
Bunnymund paused for a moment then he gestured for Jack to come. "Come 'ere. I need to talk to you." He murmured.
"I can hear you just fine from here." Jack retorted. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
"Jack, come down." Bunnymund ordered seriously.
"Jeez, fine." Jack muttered. He hopped down from the tree with a rush of cool air; Jack looked at Bunnymund expectantly with one hand in his pocket. Bunnymund then realized that he didn't really think this all the way through, he had no idea where to begin. There was quiet moment between them as Jack waited for Bunnymund to get his thoughts in order.
"Are you going to say something or am I going to melt in this heat?" Jack mocked lightly.
"Give me a second!" Bunnymund snapped.
"Well when you think of it let me know. I'm out of here." Jack sighed, wiping beads of sweat from his forehead. He jogged past Bunnymund quickly and was about to fly off when Bunny grabbed his arm and jerked him into a tight hug. "I love you, you frosty buzzard!" Bunnymund shouted. Jack was stiff in Bunny's arms for a moment before relaxing and hugging Bunny back. "I love you too." Jack sighed happily.
