My Team won, if anyone cares. My band also managed to get all but one move on the field and I'm pretty sure I can play from memory 2 of the songs (I haven't passed them off yet).
Enjoy!
Jack was ushered into sitting of the plaid blanket and Bunny placed a basket near him. Bunny opened the container only to unleash a torrent of mind boggling smells.
Jack, a side effect of the omega traits, had better sense of smell. None of the rest of Jack's senses improved but North commented once that he already had good hearing and eyesight.
Bunny pulled out sandwiches, which contained lettuce, tomato, pickles, some dressing, and chicken. Jack raised an eyebrow at the chicken he could see and Bunny snorted. "Just because I look like a rabbit, doesn't mean that I eat like one."
Jack looked up at Bunny "Really?"
Bunny shifted uncomfortably "Alright! It's the fake stuff humans sell in the closed in markets."
Jack laughed and Bunny reluctantly smiled. They ate their sandwiches in comfortable silence, Jack observing the drawings around them and Bunny observing Jack.
Every time Jack would turn back and catch him he would flush brightly. It became a sort of game for Bunny, pretending to look away but failing each time.
They ended their picnic with some chocolate that Bunny made special for Jack, little pieces of almost every flavor to figure out Jack's favorite ones. Jack noticed Bunny watching his reaction to each piece but pretended not to.
Bunny sighed and closed his eyes "There once was a beautiful planet by the name of Lepusianous. It was the home of my people, the Pooka.
In the North lived the Nix tribe, in the mountains lived the Petra tribe, and almost everywhere else lived the Crudus Flos tribe. I belonged to the Crudus Flos tribe. You know about the hierarchy?"
Jack nodded but looked put out that Bunny thought he wouldn't know and Bunny laughed weakly "I'm assuming North gave you one of the books that I gave him. Came to Earth and had so many books I didn't have places for them all. So North took them, after he came around. He is younger than me after all."
Jack narrowed his eyes at Bunny "How old ARE you?"
"Around 900,000, but let me finish. Alphas often held leadership positions along with Betas. Omegas could in some tribes but most of the time they didn't mind to stay at home.
Pooka have always believed that a healthy house made a healthy life. It was seen as a good thing if an Omega could care for kids, maintain a clean house, and keep up a good relationship with their Alpha.
The Nix tribe was a little more primal with demanding Omegas stay at home but Omegas have always gotten some respect for it.
A long time ago Pitch came to my world, this wonderful, beautiful, world that held such a great and powerful race of people, and killed everyone.
The Nix tribe was first, strong cold frosted warriors. They held out for a while, battling the fears that eventually overcame them. The Petra tribe lasted a lot less time, that tribe was a bit easier to startle. They did live in the in the mountains and always were on the lookout for danger, sometimes developing paranoia.
My tribe was the last; we recognized our enemy and fought harder than the rest. We knew he was mortal, that he could be killed. That fact didn't save us from the fear." Bunny had been growing more and more tense, looking more like a scared rabbit than ever before.
Bunny felt a hand on his and opened his eyes that he didn't even know he'd shut to find Jack talking. He couldn't hear him for the screams of his people but soon focused enough so he could.
"Shhh… It's all right Bunny. It's over now. Next time we see Pitch we'll both go at him, huh?" Jack rubbed soothing circles on the paw he held.
Bunny nodded "I would love to kick his shadowed ass all the way up to visit man in the moon. But Jack?"
Jack looked up from his circles and hummed to show Bunny he was listening. "Jack, call me Aster."
"Ok, Aster. Anything else you think I need to know?" Jack smiled and had a light blush on his face that made Bunny feel tingly inside.
"Maybe some basic Pookan, I would love to name at least one of our kids something in Pookan." Bunny grabbed the hand to stop its relaxing circles.
Jack tensed and blushed florid "KIDS?!"
Bunny smiled at the flushed Jack and said innocently "Of course kids, they'll be so pretty. Maybe some with white hair and blue eyes."
Jack spluttered "HOW?!"
Bunny smiled deviously and leaned in to whisper in Jack's ear "Well, little Jackrabbit, after we have the bonding ceremony, I will spend your next heat with you. And I'm gonna make love to you and knot in you only to pull out and make some more love, for every day of your heat."
Jack moaned but Bunny knew better to push it further, if he did they (he) would get in trouble with North. Besides, Jack's first time needs to be special.
So Bunny pulled away and helped Jack up to let him exit the cave to the tunnel to deal with his newly acquired problem while Bunny remained behind to clean up the mess.
As he pulled back the Pookan lantern Bunny turned back to gaze at the drawings that spanned around the space once more. "Maybe I'll see you again, or maybe time will be the only one to remember."
Bunny left the cave to lead his Omega back up to the surface and as he left the drawings were once again covered in darkness.
