Chapter Nine: An Idea?
~Bunny's P.O.V.~
"Hey Bunny, whattya look so sad for?" Jack asks me, his face a mixture of both playful and concerned. In all honesty, it's an adorable look on him. So I shrug and say nothin' and watch as his smile drops down to a slight frown. "Aster, you can't lie to me. Somethin's got you upset, I can see it in your eyes, so what's wrong?" I look down and shrug.
"Nothing I can tell you without causing some trouble for you and Pitch..." I mutter and turn back around to look at the moon.
"What could you possibly say that would cause trouble for me and Pitch? That you love me and that if I wasn't pretty much taken would I feel the same way?" He asks jokingly and I turn back around so quickly I make myself dizzy and look at him with my mouth open.
"How did you guess all that?" I whisper and close my mouth. He looks at me with his head cocked sideways.
"Was I right? Wow, I always thought you hated my guts... well, truth be told, I like you too but I know I could only have one of you and it would be really hard to choose and if I had too I would choose neither to spare us all the heartache. If that didn't work, I'd probably go live with Jamie and Sophie and avoid everyone so it wouldn't hurt as bad, because Manny knows how much it would hurt us all if we saw each other and couldn't talk without it being uncomfortable..." He says in one big breath and looks at the ground at the end. I just stand there and look at him. I had no idea the bloody show-pony was so observant and Damn smart. I think to myself.
"Jack, that wouldn't solve anything. You know, I've never been one to back down from a challenge, and I get the feeling that Pitch doesn't either. I suppose I have a proposal then. But first a question. Jack, do you love me? Would you have given me a chance to be with you and make you happy?" I ask without thinking. Jack looks at Bunny and frowns slightly.
"Yeah, I do... and yes I would have, but Aster, what are you planning?" And as soon as I hear a yes to both, I head into the room towards Pitch Black and pull his arm to me and whisper into his ear. At my question, his face goes blank and he nods following me into my room. Once there, I proceed to discuss with him my idea.
The end for a moment. Sorry for such a long wait but please let me know what you think. Lots of Love!
