Scheming Separation (PT 7)
Jack opened his eyes laying down in Aster's nest in the Warren and found himself next to Bunny who had his eyes closed, mumbling something frantically under his breath, over and over. He waited for his hearing to brain connection to reset themselves in his head and as soon as it did, he heard what the Pooka was basically chanting.
"Please wake up, Kit. Please wake up, Kit. Plea..."
'What happened?' Thought Jack, trying to sort through his muddled thoughts for an answer to his question.
Suddenly, it all came back to him. Pitch had created Pooka illusions to fool Bunny. Jack went and basically attempt suicide by encasing himself in an ice grave but Pitch revealed the truth to Aster. Aster had got him out of his oversized ice block but Jack flew off, losing hope and trust in the Pooka. Aster went looking for him and stumbled upon Jack's journal. Jack discovered him reading it and lost any hope left in him. He was brought to MiM who explained those years of isolation and said that if Jack wanted to keep his title of Guardian, he wasn't allowed to save Bunny who was drowning in his lake. Manny attacked him to prevent him leaving and Jack began to hope again, saving Bunnymund who immediately came to Jack's aid. Jack blacked out after Aster gave the final blow.
The Winter Spirit was proud he remembered so much considering his brain still felt fuzzy. He tried to say something, but found he couldn't move his body. He lay there, waiting for his mouth to start working again, upset that he couldn't reassure Bunny he was fine.
After two minutes, he tried again. He was successful!
"D...dad?" Aster's eyes flashed open and a relieved smile spread over his face.
"Jack? Jackie? Ya alright?"
Jack nodded his head trying to ignore the pain that exploded in his head. Bunny quickly held Jack's head still, shaking his own.
"Don't." Once he was sure Jack wouldn't move his head again, he let go. He began to clean a wound on Jack's rib, any traces of his smile completely gone.
"'S wrong?" Asked Jack, his voice slurred.
He was greeted with silence. He opened his mouth to ask again, in case Aster never heard him, but then he heard Aster whisper something.
"This is all my fault."
Jack disagreed.
"No 's not."
"Yes it is!" Exclaimed Bunny, standing. "If I wasn't naïve enough to fall for Pitch's trick, ya wouldn't be bleeding, yar soul out."
"Listen." Commanded Jack. The Pooka looked at him, eyes void of their usual sparkle. "You can't blame yourself. Pitch and MiM are to blame. If they both didn't try and separate us, we would be out in the Warren planting flowers. And I'm also partially to blame."
That last bit caught Bunny off guard. "What!? What are ya talking 'bout!?"
"After you got me away from Pitch, I could of easily overlooked the events and forgiven you, but I hated you and continued to hold it against you. If I didn't, MiM wouldn't of taken me to see him because we both saw he was scared of you. If any of us are to blame, it's me, not you."
Aster put his hand on Jack's shoulder. "How 'bout a compromise? I'll stop blaming maself if ya stop blaming yarself."
There was silence as Jack considered the proposal. "Ok." He finally said in a small voice.
"One moment." Bunny left and came back with a tall glass of water. He pressed it against Jack's chapped lips and let the liquid flow. Jack, however, closed his mouth after he drank less then half of the glass. "Jack, drink it. You've been out fur a week. Ya need water."
"'M not thirsty." Mumbled Jack.
"Don't care."
Jack groaned and wished he could move his body to pull the blankets over his head. "'M tired. Lemme sleep."
"I know." Said Bunny, soothingly. "Just drink this then I'll let ya sleep. If ya drink it, ya should be able ta move when ya wake up." He pushed the glass against Jack's lips again and the boy reluctantly drank it.
"There ya go. That wasn't so hard, was it?"
All he got as a groan in response, followed by a yawn.
He chuckled, his deep voice rumbling. "Ya can sleep now."
"I can't." Whispered Jack, looking slightly haunted.
Aster became concerned. "Why not, Jackie?"
"What if..if Pitch.."
"C'mere." Before Jack could finish, Bunny carefully picked him up and placed the Winter child on his lap. His fur was so warm and his steady heartbeat was like a lullaby to Jack as he soon felt his eye lids drooping.
"Da...Dad?"
Bunny hummed and Jack took it as a sign to continue.
"I...I..love you." He saw a huge smile take over Bunnymund's features before he let slumber overwhelm him.
Rubbing sleep from his eyes, he happily realised his body was moving again. Bunny had been right. The water and rest had helped a great deal. Speaking of..
Jack sat up and looked around. He was it the nest. Bunny must of put him back in once he had fallen asleep. His eyes fell to the shivering lump of fur on the floor. Bunny had a small smile still on his face, despite the fact that he could very well be getting a serious case of frostbite. With that thought running through his mind, Jack pulled the several blankets from the nest onto the sleeping Pooka before he got under himself and snuggled into Aster's chest.
He felt all thoughts of hate and betrayal from the past few weeks leave his mind completely. He was vaguely aware of the sleeping rabbit put an arm around him, pulling Jack closer.
'This is my family and it will always be,' thought Jack as he fell asleep in Bunnymund's warm grasp.
Bunny cracked an eye open when he felt Jack's breath deepen and slow. He moved slowly, so he wouldn't reawaken the sleeping child in his grasp, and placed a soft kiss on Jack's white messy hair.
'You will always and forever be my kit.' Thought Bunny as he joined Jack into the world of dreams.
They both knew they would argue. What family didn't? But they would pull through like they had this time. They had found their family and they were never letting go.
My Kit: One-shots, drabbles and archs focusing on Jack and Bunny's brotherly which eventually turns into a father/son relationship
Second Chances: At 28 years old, Jackson Overland's life is harder then he ever imagined. The MIM takes pity and sends him back to that fateful day on the lake. He becomes Jack Frost but still has memories of his past life...
By My Side: What if Jack hadn't drowned alone? What if there were two Winter Spirits?
The Ultimate Ultimatum: Bunny, North, Tooth and Sandy disappeared 3 years ago. Who is going to be The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and The Sandman? Jack Frost. Belief is at an all-time high. But Jack is at an all-time low. And he has to bring snow as well. But how will that change when he has to make a huge decision when he finally finds them?
Frosted: What if Jack Frost accepted Pitch Black's offer?
I'm Different And It Hurts: He always knew he was different, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less
