Bunny was still feeling the pump of adrenalin in his system. That bastard Eberlein! That galah was so good at messing with Bunny but he never knew Eberlein would go so far as to mess around with Jack.

He shook the snow from his coat and hopped through the window he and Eberlein had busted. Bunny jumped down far from where any glass may lay and something caught his eye.

A flash of white was on the sofa. Bunny went over and smiled. There was Jack, sleeping soundly on the couch. The little omega had a pillow in hand, hugging it, while his head was tilted to the side to expose his pale neck.

Bunny resisted licking that neck to gently shake Jack awake. "Mmm…. Bunny?" Jack blinked at the alpha before stretching. Bunny almost moaned while watching the sprit bend. "I guess I fell asleep?" Jack laughed before stopping to look Bunny up and down.

Bunny noticed this and smiled. His little omega was worried about him. "Got a couple of bruises but Eberlein fared worse."

Jack suddenly grinned "North and I were talking." Bunny raised a brow at Jack's happy tone. "It went good, don't look at me like that. He is sorry."

Bunny smiled "Glad he knows he messed up. Doesn't explain your grin."

Jack laughed "North's going groundhog hunting, think he's going to make stew or a coat?"

Bunny chuckled envisioning Eberlein running from an enraged Russian. "I reckon he'll do both. Now… wasn't I supposed to be escorting you to a date?"

Jack blushed but ran to get his staff he had laid down nearby. He bounced back in, staff in hand, cheeks red, and a large grin that showed off his perfect white teeth. "Ready!"

Jack was so excited. Bunny chuckled at his bouncing gait and started a race over the snow and ice. They ran (or hitched a ride on the wind) and didn't throw taunts or insults.

Instead, Bunny would randomly catch Jack midair and would shelter Jack with his body for the landing. Then Bunny would nuzzle Jack sweetly or tickle him until Jack was barely able to keep his breath.

Suddenly, Bunny would disappear and call for Jack to hurry up. And then they repeated the act several times.

Finally (too soon really) they reached a hill of snow. Bunny smile was wide, showing off his buck teeth, when he grabbed Jack's hand to lead in to the mound.

"Found this the other day, trying to find a good date spot and I figured you would like the cold…" Bunny trailed off and folded his ears back. Jack smiled at his alpha's care. Bunny was a perfect alpha.

"It's great I'm sure, but I need to see it. You've kept me waiting long enough." Jack pouted and folded his arms over his chest in mock anger. Bunny laughed and lead Jack to an opening in the snow.

Jack ducked inside followed by Bunny. In the midst of the ice and snow was a tunnel that Jack eagerly shot down, regardless of the step steps.

They went further down until Jack couldn't see and Bunny pulled out a weird lantern to light their path. Finally Jack and Bunny entered a cave. Bunny flicked the lantern open all the way and hung it from a vine in the center of the cave, chasing the shadows from the walls.

Jack gasped and placed a hand on the closest wall. There were drawings. They covered the walls, the low edges of the ceiling and even on the floor. Depictions of animals, stick men, flowers, and all sorts of other things were drawn with ancient methods.

Jack finally found his voice and turned to a proud Bunny "What is this?"

Bunny tugged Jack close for a hug and waved one arm to the paintings, "An old human tribe that is long forgotten. You are standing in one of the only signs that they ever existed: that they ever had a government, a language, agriculture, or even intellect. It's a miracle I found this place, I bet in a few years the hole will close up."

Jack leaned against Bunny and closed his eyes to taste the lost people. The feeling of regret washed over him at not being able to know of their culture and suddenly he realized that he had the last remaining part of a different culture living and breathing hugging him.

Jack turned to Bunny "Bunny, I want to know."

Bunny looked down at the white haired teen "Know what?"

Jack frowned lightly and reached up to thread his hands through Bunny's fur, "Know you, your culture. Teach me about more than alphas and omegas. I want to know everything: language, culture, lingo, traits, anything and everything."

Bunny looked startled at the teen in his arms and abruptly he saw the wisdom that 300 years somehow placed in the young body. Jack not only wanted to know about what he had been turned into but the culture his new identity would had have.

He smiled and pulled Jack closer to him "Anything and everything, Love." And then he was kissing Jack pushing his muzzle to the soft mouth. Didn't matter that Jack wasn't a Pooka, and it didn't matter that Jack was an omega. This was Jack.

Bunny licked at Jack's lips with his tongue and Jack instinctively opened his mouth slightly. Then Bunny could taste Jack. Jack was peppermint, sharp snow, and chocolate. Jack was also warm despite his element. Not normal warm but still a pleasant warmth.

Jack moaned as Bunny explored his omega's mouth. His omega. Bunny never thought he would ever say that before meeting Jack and after meeting Jack, never about Jack.

Bunny pulled back but remained tangled with Jack, ignoring the whine at the loss from the omega. Somehow Jack had ended up clutching fur on Bunny's upper back while Bunny held Jack's neck and rested a paw on his lower back.

"Sit down, little Jackrabbit. I made a picnic that I don't want to waste and I believe you have some questions for me." Bunny let go of Jack to reach for the blanket and settled Jack onto it. He pulled a basket from the corner and placed it between them. "Ask away."

First date! I wanted something original and I thought, since Bunny is so old and because he lost his own culture and people, that he might take Jack to see some ancient people's stuff. Things like that would touch him deeply and he wants to share that with Jack. Bunny calls Averett Eberlein because he thinks that Averett's last name is better for the groundhog. 'Little boar' remember?
