Happy (Belated) New Year to everyone of ! Are you all well? Are some of you gonna follow your New Year Resolution? Maybe? No?
I'm not sure myself! :D
Alright, this chapter may or may not be a filler chapter but still, let's just say it contains cameos of certain faces that you all may remember. Not to mention that there is a slight mention of the Big 4 ;)
Delphinium chapter 3
You get the sensation that you are so warm and comfortable, you just wanna stay that way for a while and don't want to wake up?
Jack is currently experiencing one of those right now.
The sun rays peeked through the blinds of his bedroom window, rousing Jack to awake rather reluctantly. He was about to stretch out but only to find himself being restricted. Blinking his blue eyes, he looked up and found Bunny purred as he hugged him closer to his body, he could feel the taller man tucking the top of his head underneath his chin. Jack smiled before snuggling into his arms, feeling rather lethargic and didn't want to leave the warmth that he had grown accustomed to.
When he first brought him before Pitch and Cora, he was surprised that neither one of them see Bunny as a man, and accepting the fact that he's indeed a rabbit. At that the time, Jack was wondering whether that there were drugs in tea, the cake, or-ludicrous as it sounds-, the incense that the Count used. But two months has passed, and neither one of the family have experienced withdrawal of some kind…nor it didn't take long for Bunny to settle in. Though it is rather funny to have him and Cora debate on whether or not to give him water baths in the tub, the memory of his kid sister brushing his long hair was rather adorable.
The only thing that she complained was the fact that Bunny is that he always bunk in the same bed with Jack. Which is a good, in a way, the image of a grown man in the same bed as his darling younger sister is enough to send shivers down his spine. Of course, looking back, he was a bit paranoid at the fact that Bunny might do something to him while he slept.
Oh the way he slept for a couple of weeks was just awkward. Sure the bed was big enough to fit two people, but whenever Jack tried to keep a space between him and Bunny, he always found himself in the other man's arms whenever he woke up. Thankfully, kept his hands around his waist…
But, Jack did warmed up to him eventually, even gotten used to the fact that he sees him as a person while Pitch and Cora can only perceive him as a rabbit.
The unexplained mysteries of life and the universe…
A sigh of content was heard as Jack wrapped his arms around Bunny's waist. He was about to fall back asleep until the sound of something rumbling was heard.
The moment was officially ruined.
A deep laugh rumbled softly against his hair, making him peek up and saw that Bunny was opening his eyes.
"Hungry?" it was a rhetorical question, there was a soft smile on his face as Bunny gently brushed the white bangs away to peer into the youth's blue eyes. Jack couldn't help but laugh softly at this.
"The usual?"
Bunny smirked as he placed his forehead against his.
"You have read my mind."
Today's brunch is a vegetarian omelet.
Jack was lucky to have Count D's number on speed dial, in case he needed advise from him since he's a first time "rabbit owner". A title that took a while to get used to…
He carefully flipped the finished products onto two plates before heading over to the dining table to set it before Bunny who was watching him the whole time.
"Alright, Bunny, dig in," Jack said as he placed his in front of him before sitting down.
The taller man seemed to be inhaling the aroma as he sighed in content.
"I can't get over how delicious your cooking is, Jackie…you'll make a mate happy."
Jack just smiled at him in response. "You always know how to say the right words." He said before digging into his omelet.
He was used to Bunny's compliments when he started to cook up his meals. He was lucky that his godfather have the Count's number so that Jack can call the Chinese man up anytime if he needed advice. One time, he asked if fruits are acceptable substitute if chocolate is out of the question. Thankfully, bananas or carrots are optional, just not all of the time.
Whenever Jack cooked up whatever vegetarian dish, Bunny's compliments would mention something about "mate" or something.
It was understandable, since in the animal kingdom, mating is their version of a wedding. Only difference between them and the humans is that their bond will last. No betrayals...willing to protect their young to the death…just pure…well, bliss. Sometimes Jack would envy them, he had no idea why people in this day and age would do such horrible things.
But this is not something to think dark thoughts…not good to start the day.
Besides, maybe it's Bunny's way of teasing.
But right now brunch…
The parks are one of the things that he loved about this city whenever the sun is shining brightly on a day like this.
He enjoyed taking Bunny to places like this whenever he have the time, between school work and his part-time job. They tend to walk around leisurely or just relax in the shade of a tree.
Today is no exception, since they have enough time to kill, Jack figured to head over to one of the parks a bit before heading over to Chinatown. There is a particular favorite of his, he didn't remember the name but it is well known to be be located between a Christian church and a Jewish temple, and nearby was the Muslim mosque. He is not much of a religious person but he does appreciate the beauty of the structures and respective representations of different cultures.
Jack sighed as he leisurely strolled along the path with Bunny followed closely by his side.
The two have been receiving odd stares in the past, but nevertheless, they both have gotten used to it. Though a child or two tends to wander up to them and ask if he or she can pet Bunny. It was rather funny, seeing a grown man kneeling down before a child to be petted, mostly on his nose. It also helps that Jack is a natural when it comes to children. Sometimes, he and Bunny would help an occasional lost child find his or her parents while at the same time try to bring a smile to the said child's face.
But nowadays, when things are calm and some people here and there- joggers, some kids playing, and a couple of food vendors- it was nice to have just stroll around and appreciate the scenery that the park has to offer. It was Jack's favorite time of day in places like this, it was even better to share with Bunny right now.
Then suddenly, Jack found himself shook out of his thoughts when he felt something ran into his stomach, almost had the wind knocked out of him.
"What the…" then he looked down to see a small girl looking up at him with wide brown eyes.
The one thing that stood out was her hair; it was pure white like his, though the only difference is that her skin is lightly tanned. She seemed to be around 2 or 3 years old, it was hard to tell. The girl was wearing a simple white sundress and neon orange sandals. A really odd combination, in his opinion, but hey, who is he to judge? Kids have the right to be creative in what they do in this day and age.
They both have a staring contest for what seemed to be forever, until the little girl held her little arms up.
"Da!"
Jack blinked as he stared at the girl in bewilderment. "Wha…?"
"Da!" the little girl waved her arms a bit, still expecting to be picked up.
Bunny watched before smirking at him. "Looks like the lil anklebiter thinks yer her daddy…"
Jack blushed at the implication but managed to keep calm as he knelt down to the little girl's height.
"Uh, little girl?" he spoke in a gentle tone. "I think you might have mistaken me for something else, are you lost?"
The little girl stared at him, looking confused.
"Da…?" she spoke out, reaching out to grab a lock of his hair.
"Kailash!"
Jack looked up and almost did a double take when he saw the owner of the voice. Approaching them is an almost exact replica of Jack but there are some differences. While he has Jack's white hair, his hairstyle was well-managed and have a silver tone to it by the way the sun shone upon his head; giving off an ethereal illusion. While Jack has electric blue eyes, this doppelganger has an aqua-green shade to his. That and he seemed to be older than him, looking at least around the age to be in college but yet still looked baby-faced. If there is one thing that they have in common is their fashion sense, but that was it.
The girl, now known as Kailash, turned around and smiled brightly, holding her hands out to him instead.
"Da! Da!" the way she chirped out to him was too cute for words, especially the way she waddled over to him.
Jack's doppelganger smiled brightly as he picked her up. "I'm so glad...you gave me and your mom quite a fright," then he looked over to him, smiling softly. "Thank you so much, this little bird tends to wander off sometimes." Then he turned to his daughter, probably, Jack couldn't see the resemblance. Plus, this man seemed too young to be a father…
The youth ignored that for now as he smiled while shrugging casually. "It's no big deal...I'm quite good with kids…"
Bunny let out a chuckle. "I could see why yer ankle-biter could mistake him for you, you two look like twins!"
The man was scratched the back of his head in embarrassment at the information, while holding Kailash in the crook of his arm.
"I can see why…" he was about to speak more until another voice was heard, gaining all of the men's attention.
"Kailash, thank goodness!"
Jack looked over and saw a rather beautiful young woman with wavy auburn hair jogging towards them. She is dressed in a simple yellow plaid dress and has a rather elegant looking sun hat that is adorned with a yellow ribbon. She seemed to be around the same age as the man before them, and again, they seemed a bit young to have a daughter.
And now that he noticed, the young girl bore no resemblance to her either…
He also noted on how bright the smile was when Jack noticed his Doppelganger was wearing.
Are they a couple? He thought to himself before turning to Kailash.
The said small girl seemed to be beaming when she saw the woman, reaching out to her as she approaches while keeping her tiny hold on her "father's" shirt. "Ma! Ma! Ma!"
An expression of relief was evident on the woman's face as she made her way to the Doppelganger's side.
"You silly little goose, wandering off behind our backs…" the woman scolded lightly, tapping Kailash's nose a bit. This action caused the small girl to giggle before being lifted out of the man's arm and into hers, kissing her cheeks.
The Doppelganger smiled as he gestured over to Jack and Bunny. "You got these two to thank, Kathy," he spoke up.
Jack smiled as he waved a bit while Bunny nodded in recognition. Kathy smiled back in sincere gratitude before adjusting her daughter (still doubting) to settle upon the crook of her arm, like what the Doppelganger did before, reaching her hand out to the younger man.
"I don't know if this dummy said it yet but thank you for finding our daughter," Oh, so she is their daughter, probably adopted or fostered. Jack took note that her tone was light and teasing when she looked over to her boyfriend who has a mock hurt look on his face.
"Hey, I'm not a dummy!" he protested in a jesting tone.
Kathy returned the smile to him, almost lovingly. "Yes, but you're my dummy."
She giggled as the tall silver-haired man bent down and place a kiss upon her cheek.
"We have to go now…thank you…again…" then she turned to Kailash who was sucking upon her thumb for a moment. "Now what do we say to the nice big boy?"
Kailash somehow show that she understood her mother as she turned to Jack before releasing her saliva covered fingers with a small pop to wave at him.
"Bye-bye," she chirped out cutely.
Jack smiled back as he waved back before the couple carried the small white-haired girl away. He caught on a playful banter between the two, and heard Kathy said something about "Nightlight". He tiled his head to a side in confusion but shrugged it off before turning to Bunny who looked amused.
"They make a cute family, don't they?" he commented.
Jack blinked as he looked up to the taller man. "Huh?"
"The two love-birds and that anklebiter, they make a cute family."
It took him a minute to realize what he was talking about it, and nodded before turning back to the back of the said couple which is getting smaller and smaller.
"Yeah, yeah they do…" he responded, smiling a bit.
It must have been nice, being with someone like that. Laughing, doing stuff together, all that couple stuff. But nowadays, finding the right one tends to be impossible. Most of the time from what he heard that sometimes love quickly leads to betrayal and eventually heartbreak.
Most of the time, he wondered if he could be like his parents…or like Pitch and his late godmother…
"So, I wonder…" Jack felt weight upon his shoulder as he noticed Bunny's warm breath against his ear. "Do you think you can love me like that?" The white-haired teen blinked at the heaviness behind the question as he turned his head and found himself almost nose-to-nose with Bunny's. His eyes are now a deeper color of emerald, and there was some intensity in his eyes that Jack had never seen before.
It was almost as if they are piercing into his very soul.
"Wha…?"
Then a wide smirk flashed upon Bunny's face as he cheekily poked at the very tip of Jack's nose.
"You gumby, I was only kiddin'," he then gently took Jack's wrist into his hand and urged him to come along with him upon the concrete path. "Come on, we've got time to kill before we head over to the Count!"
Jack just blinked in confusion as he allowed himself to be dragged by his "rabbit" before even had a chance to ask. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but smile as the duo continue their walk down the park. They walked around, even grabbed some snacks of cinnamon pretzels along the way, before finding a spot underneath one of the trees. Bunny made himself comfortable upon Jack's lap while nibbling upon the cinnamon dusted knot-like bread.
It was Bunny's favorite part whenever they had their walks.
Whenever they find a spot to rest, usually underneath a tree, Bunny would make the youth's lap as a makeshift pillow.
People-watching is one of Jack's favorite hobbies when he found the time to just relax (and maybe have a snack on him). You'll never know when you'll find some interesting people especially on ordinary days like this.
Like for instance, a young brunet man, possibly a couple years younger than him, was chasing an oddly pink colored parrot (or at least, he thinks it was a parrot). "Gah, Morph! Get back here!" he heard him call out.
"Morph get back here!" the Parrot mimicked before flying to the other part of the park, keeping distance from the youth's hands. The way it squawked sounded like it was laughing.
There is a rather pretty young red-haired girl, probably around eight or 9 years old, playing with a younger boy in the grassier areas, from what Jack can see, the kid's hair tone was an odd but fitting combination of orange and ginger. It might be his imagination, but he looked like he was wearing a blue necklace.
He even saw a couple strolling down the park path, he noted that the brunette girl is rather young and the tall raven haired man was rather stiff and reserved, almost military-like. In fact, he looks like he is part of some military, judging by the uniform he is wearing but without any badges to show his rank. But the way they interact, the man seemed relaxed, taking in on whatever the brunette girl is saying. Jack continued to watch as they pass by a young dark-haired man who is carrying a small blonde-haired girl in a rather frilly dress. He could have sworn that he heard the small girl saying "Daddy, can we get some milk?"
He couldn't help but noticed how cute it looked their interactions are.
From the corner of his eye, Jack spotted a man, Asian descent from what he can tell, lounging against the park bench as he smoked, with a shorter man of the same descent leaning against him, he seemed to be sleeping. For some reason, the shorter man was wearing only one black glove on his right hand. The first thing that he thought was Michael Jackson, but he seemed to be too…rough, for a better lack of word, to be an impersonator. Plus, he doesn't have the fedora hat, only wore regular attire of t-shirt and jeans.
"Goddamn it, White Hair, what can I do with ya?" an irritated voice proclaimed making Jack to look over and saw a lanky looking man walking down the path. He had the brightest red hair that he had ever seen, and it was pulled back in a ponytail, revealing an eye-patch over his right eye, which made Jack wonder if he got into an accident some time ago. He was dressed in clothes that seemed to be too warm for this kind of weather which consists of a heavy hooded coat as he trudged down the path with heavy boots.
He puffed out a cigarette as he walked, that is when Jack took notice of another man following him.
The man that the redhead called (and following, how that he noticed) "White Hair" is clearly like how he called him. Apparently "white hair" is all the rage, though the man's hair was more shockingly white compared to his. He was paler than him, almost as if he never stepped outside all of his life. Like the redhead, there are certain things that stood out. His choice of fashion, for instance, is considered so impossibly cool it cannot exist in a Hot Topic shop, or real life for that matter. And then there were his eyes, he had never seen red eyes in real life before.
For some odd reason, there is something set him on edge, he couldn't place his finger on it, but considering on how relaxed the Redhead seemed…he might not be so bad. Though he could not help but notice the chain that is lacing around his belt. Probably some sort of fashion statement of some kind, or maybe he's a cosplayer.
"Jack? Is that you?"
Jack blinked as he looked up and noticed a young auburn-haired teen standing before him. He narrowed his blue eyes before something clicked at the moment when he recognized the latter's forest green eyes and his freckles.
"Hiccup?!" he exclaimed in surprise before smiling. "Hey, what a surprise!"
Hiccup grinned back his trademark grin as he took a seat beside him and Bunny, crossing his legs into a lotus position.
"I know, right?" then he looked over to Bunny, tilting his head to the side. "So, this is the famous Bunny that I've been hearing about…kinda big for something that is supposed to be tiny."
Hearing that, Bunny paused in his nibbling on the pretzel before opening one eye and glared at him.
"Who are ya callin' tiny?" he questioned, still holding his snack.
The white-haired teen glared at him slightly. "Bunny, be nice," he scolded him lightly. Then he looked up to Hiccup. "So what brought you here? Enjoying the first day of the spring break?"
Hiccup smiled crookedly before responding, "You can say that, I'm taking Toothless out on a walk as well."
Jack raised an eyebrow at this. He had forgotten but sometime ago, before he came to San Francisco, he vaguely remembered that Hiccup mentioning that he have a rather large (and rather exotic) pet that he had to take care of regularly. Caused some problems between him and his father along the way, from what he remembered (Merida, one of their friends, is a bit vague on the details). Whether or not he and his Dad made up is a mystery, to him at least. But since it was Hiccup's choice to tell him what happened, it was his call…
"Which reminds me…what is this Toothless is like anyway?" it doesn't hurt to ask, especially since the only time that he get to talk and hang out with him is either between classes or at lunch.
The auburn teen thought for a moment as he rocked back and forth a bit.
"From what I know…Toothless is smart…bit of a smart-ass, actually," a small smile grew on his face as he thought about it. "But he's also playful…sweet…kind…caring…" The way he is talking about this Toothless is like a lovesick boy talking about someone special. How he sighed in content pretty much sealed the deal.
He remembered this one time that he used to have an unrequited crush on this one girl that everyone knows about…Hofferson, is what he recalled. Jack frowned to himself as he remembered the blonde girl with the braided hair, he didn't like her that much, considering her attitude, and especially how she treated Hiccup. And Rapunzel...oh, how Rapunzel wanted to whack that poor girl over the head with a frying pan that she somehow smuggled in her messenger bag...it took him and, surprisingly, Merida a while to convince her that it wasn't polite (and possibly legal) to hit someone with a frying pan in public. But over time, slowly, Hiccup was staring at her less and less from afar.
Jack assumed it was a good thing but what is Hofferson up lately is anyone's guess.
"Anyone I know?" a new voice spoke up.
Jack blinked as he looked up and saw a youth, either one or two years older than him. His skin tone is a shade darker thank Bunny's making him think that they could be twins if it weren't for the hair color difference, while Bunny's is a bluish-grey, this teen's hair color is black as the moonless night. He has electric green eyes that have a color of poison.
Hiccup looked over and smiled brightly at him.
"Toothless!" he chimed as the latter knelt down behind him and embraced him.
Jack blinked in confusion. This is the infamous Toothless that he had been hearing about? From what Merida told him one time, it was a large black lizard that might be considered rare. And to quote her, "wouldn't keep his slobber out of her hair."
This Toothless…he has the looks that are enough to be in a fashion magazine.
But then again...there was Bunny.
The white-haired youth blinked twice before gathering his thoughts. "So…so, you're the famous Toothless?"
Toothless nodded as he stared at him. "And you're the famous Jack Frost," he replied. "I heard a lot about you from Hiccup here." Then he let out what sounded like a rumbling purr as he nuzzled against the smaller youth's hair, making the latter laugh softly.
Jack took note at the closeness the two have, before glancing over to Bunny, who seemed to be more contented with eating his pretzel.
"I see that you got stuck with Peter Cottontail over there…" he heard Toothless spoke, making him look up.
Jack blinked as he stared at the dark-haired man. "Wait…wha…?"
"Still referring to me to that Rankin/Bass abomination, huh…ya sorry excuse for a cat imitator?" he heard Bunny spoke up, making him to look down and saw him opening up one eye as the said "rabbit" glared at Toothless.
Hiccup and Jack blinked as they looked at their respective companions.
Luckily the younger teen took the words right out of his mouth. "You two know each other?"
Bunny let out a huff as he continued to chew his pretzel. "Unfortunately, he and I go WAY back longer than either one of us went home with ya, mates…and I had to deal with his cod fish breath for God knows how long."
Just when he was about to get another bite, but instead of tasting sugar and cinnamon, all Bunny bit was air and opened his eyes to find his food gone.
"Ey, what the…!?" he shot up from Jack's lap and looked up to see Toothless standing before him….with his pretzel. "Ya stupid reptile-give that back!"
Toothless just gave him a shit-eating grin before taking a chomp on the twisted bread.
Bunny suddenly saw red. "Ya bastard! Jack bought it for me!"
Jack didn't know how to react when the Australian sprang forward to the dark-haired teen before the two get into some sort of wrestling match, all the while with Bunny trying retrieving his snack back. Just watching them is almost comical, even Hiccup didn't know what to do. It was almost…comical, especially the way they throw childish insults at each other.
"It's mine, Lizard-Cat!"
"Tough nubs, Long Ears! It's mine now!"
"You don't even eat pretzels, Fish Breath!"
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained, that's the saying, isn't it, Cottontail?!"
"Drongo!"
"Assbutt!"
"Gumby!"
"Idjit!"
Jack didn't notice when Hiccup took a seat by his side, but he broke off a piece of his pretzel and offered it to him while watching them wrestle. Somehow Toothless gained the upper-hand by having Bunny in a headlock but the latter managed to get his pretzel back.
"I never knew that Bunny could be like this…" the white-haired teen mused.
Hiccup nodded in agreement. "Me neither," he admitted. "I never knew that Toothless could have an enemy before I took him from the pet shop."
Jack blinked before looking over to him in confusion.
"Pet shop? You don't mean, Count D's right?"
"Yeah, I met Toothless in Count D's Pet Shop as well," Hiccup spoke before smiling a bit. "I have to admit, I had a hard time believing as well…but after a while…I…I find it ok, and being with Toothless made my life ten times better. You know what I mean?"
Jack stared at him before thinking about his time before he met Bunny and compared to the present.
He had to admit, despite some rough parts, Jack noticed that he became more…himself since his parents died. And Cora not only talks more but also smiled for real again. Ever since he started school, he managed to find fun, and finding kinship with people like Hiccup and the girls. It was almost as if Bunny renewed his hope for life again, even though it was within the span of two months.
Maybe Hiccup is on to something…
"GAH! Ch-cheap…shhhot, you oversexed rodent!"
Bunny just grinned at him in triumph as he held up his pretzel like a trophy.
"All's fair in love and war!" he crowed before chomping on his retrieved snack. "Ah…victory…"
Toothless glared up at him as he clenched his solar plexus. "That's because you CHEATED, you ass!"
"Oh rack off, ya pansy!"
Then the raven-haired turned to Hiccup, having what Jack described as the cutest looking puppy dog eyes since Sam Winchester of Supernatural. "Hiccuuuup…he's being mean to me!"
It was a rather pathetic, and kinda childish, whine, but he couldn't help but feel for him. Jack stole a glance to the younger teen and was surprised to find a blank look on his face.
"You started it, you deserve it."
Ouch…that was harsh.
"But Hiccup!"
Toothless tried to use the puppy dog eyes method again, giving Jack the impression that it might be some sort of superpower that should weaken anyone. Like Kyrptonite to…Kyrptonians, or something like that. However, Hiccup is immune to those eyes and stood his ground. Or sit…
"Toothless…" his tone was low and stern, clearly didn't want to drag this on. Jack had to hold back his laugh as he took a nibble from his pretzel piece.
A heavy sigh as Toothless rolled his eyes.
"Fine…" then he turned to Bunny who looked like he was expecting him. "…Sorry. Happy now?"
The latter just stared at him blankly before giving him a shit-eating grin. "Very."
But then Bunny noticed that Toothless flashed him his own smirk.
"Sorry that you're a pathetic excuse for an alpha!" then with a crow of laughter, Toothless immediately ducked from Bunny's punch. He tumbled over to Hiccup's side and picked him up like a bride before looking over his shoulder and stuck out his tongue at him.
"Later, sucker!" then he bounded away with a laugh as he ran off.
Hiccup managed to look over Toothless' shoulder at Jack's direction. "Nice talking to ya, Jack…and great meeting you, Bunny!"
Jack smiled as he waved after them. "Later!"
"And don't show yer face around me, ya overgrown leather bag!" Bunny barked, shaking his fist after the retreating back of the raven-haired man.
All they heard was the fading laughter in the distant till the two are out of the park. The tall man let out a huff before plopping down on the grass and laid his head back down upon Jack's lap, chomping upon what remains of the pretzel angrily. He was trying so hard not to pout, but to no avail. Jack found the sight rather adorable as he smoothed out the long bangs.
After a while, the youth decided to break the silence.
"You and that Toothless guy seemed like good friends."
Bunny scoffed as he eaten the last of the twisted bread treat.
"Friends with that walking leather bag…why yes, when all frogs learned how to fly."
"…It's pigs, actually."
"Is there a difference?"
Please leave behind a comment/critique/review
Just so you all know, I have nothing against Rankin/Bass holidays specials…though I have to admit, the expressions and the animation is rather disturbing in my opinion. Plus, I had gotten into the Guardianverse portrayal of Santa Claus, Jack Frost, and the Easter Bunny. And once again, I don't have a problem with the character of Astrid Hofferson, I just don't think she is a good match with Hiccup.
And if you like, you can participate in…

This part is actually optional, you don't have to do that, but since there are Easter Egg hunts in Disney films, I thought I might do it with certain characters that fans are familiar with, regardless of fandom, be it crossover, books, one of the top three animation studios (Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks) even anime/manga and cartoons. And yes, Pet Shop of Horrors series is included, to those who have been reading the manga series (the first one, in particular), you might come across familiar faces.
And I might not have thrown in certain faces that some of you wanted to see, but there is a possibility that you might find mentions of them in the next chapter.
Have fun!
