Hiya :D
This is at some point at the movie after the whole Easter fiasco and Bunny being reduced to its one-foot size form.
Let's just say they're at the Pole, not really sure what to do and deeply affected by Jack's apparent "betrayal".
Enjoy and review!
SMILE FOR ME
"Tooth?" a one-foot sized rabbit hopped in the globe room. "Sheila, you here?"
Bunnymund found her in an armchair next to the fireplace, completely quiet.
She must have been deep in thought because only when he approached she looked away from the fire. "Oh, hey Bunny."
Her voice was lacking her usual cheerful tone and it discouraged him to not hear it. "Gee, Tooth, don't be so happy to see me."
She looked at him with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, knowing he was trying to distract her. "I'm sorry. I'm not exactly the best company now."
He wasn't either. Everything seemed to go wrong and this time not even he was sure how this would turn out.
"You think someone's gonna stop to talk to me in this state?" he tried to lighten things up. It was harder than he thought due to his rusty social skills.
"I don't know, for once I like being the one who has to look down to speak to you." Tooth chuckled a bit.
"Ha ha ha, very funny." He rolled his eyes. "But I can still whoop Pitch's butt."
"I don't doubt it, tough guy." She cocked her head to the side, a small habit he found adorable.
He tried to climb the high distance to the arm chair, but barely held with his small paws from the edge of it. His tiny feet found nothing to impulse himself up.
He gazed at the fairy and raised an eyebrow. "Care to help?"
She helped him up and he sat beside her. They both fell into silence again.
Bunnymund didn't know what to do; he just didn't want to see Toothiana like this. He liked when she smiled and laughed, when she stopped everyone from fighting and got some sense into them, and especially when her face lit up when talking non-stop about teeth. Tooth was a vital part of them and if her spirit was gone, so was theirs.
The tooth fairy was looking at the flames and absent-mindedly biting her lip.
"You miss 'em, don't cha?" he referred to her fairies.
"It's just that…everything's so quiet without them. It's strange." And it was. She could sense them, feel their uneasiness, but could not reach them.
He scooted closer to her. "We're gonna get them back, sheila. I promise."
"Bunny what are we gonna do?" she sounded so discouraged that it almost broke his heart. "With us losing believers, and now Jack's…"
Remembering Jack's betrayal was like a kick to his gut, but his hard feelings for Jack wouldn't get in the way this time. "We'll make it with or without him, Tooth. Don't lose hope." Not yet. But he didn't say that last part. "Kay?"
"Ok, I promise." She gave him a small smile, grateful for having him near.
He then gave a heavy sigh, hopped up onto her lap, and bowed his head. "C'mon, I know ya want to."
She finally gave a small giggle that had more effect on him than she would believe, and scratched behind his ears.
If it were someone else he'd have adamantly opposed, but now that he thought about it he didn't mind if it was Tooth. Plus he'd be lying if he didn't admit he liked it.
"Tooth?"
She ceased to scratch, but kept a hand on the fur of his back. "Yes, Bunny?"
"Keep smiling, please."
The fairy lifted him up and gave him a small kiss on his forehead.
When Bunnymund looked at her there was a heartfelt smile on her face. "Always."
Hehe, oh Bunny you and your pride shall always be defeated by Tooth.
Hope you liked it :D
