Bunny had offered you some fruit from an orchard at the back of the warren and after that scurried off to do something. You decided to wander some more and eventually came to a little clearing, the dirt road branching off into six large tunnels, each with a different symbol above it. The way out. You've been itching to get back to the surface and no one was going to let you out, Bunny obviously was going to go tell the other guardians that Pitch was able to get into the warren. After that you'll be under constant supervision. This might be your last chance at a taste of freedom until Pitch is dealt with. So you decided decided to take this opportunity.
Inside the tunnels the floor was dirt with grass growing as well, like much if the warren, and the walls were stone with moss and greenery growing over them and the curved ceiling. The tunnel seemed to go on forever and it got quite boring to just walk, so you decided to run along the walls, showing off your acrobatic skills to yourself. Soon enough you came to a door with engravings of elegant curves and circles. You tried to open it but once your hand touched door a frost spread across it. Crap.
"What's the rush? Got a hot date or something, that'd be new." A deep mischievous icy voice joked. You turned slowly and looked at your silver haired friend leaning against his staff. An interested yet bored look across his face.
"Uh...yeah, don't wanna be late so..." You joked along.
"Yeah you know how Cottontail hates waiting." You reddened as he smirked at you.
"W-what -pfft- as if. Grumpy, oversized rabbits really aren't my type." You tried to play it off cool.
"Mmmhmmm." Jack mused "and I suppose you're all red because?"
"Uh-"
"I guess what Bunny said was true after all." He cut you off.
What? What did Bunny say? You didn't realise you were speaking aloud until Jack's smirk grew across his smug little face.
"Don't worry, he didn't say he didn't like you." He said raising an eyebrow.
"I-I didn't say I-" he cut you off again.
"You didn't have to" he gave you a friendly smile, like he wasn't just teasing you a second ago.
"It's that easy to tell?" You asked probably still pink.
"Easy enough for everyone else to, but Bunny is too blind to see it." He abandoned the smile and went back to his mischievous smirk. "Come on, or he'll be pissed at you"
You were going to reply when he ran off yelling "Catch me if you can!" And you ran off after him.
When you exited the caves there was a sight to see. Bunny had Jack by the collar of his sweatshirt, shaking him relentlessly and yelling at him about how he was supposed to keep an eye on you and make sure you were safe.
"Bunny!" you ran up to him, placing your hands on his arm, stretching far above you, since bunny was much taller than you and his outstretched arms reached even farther, so your arms were raised above your head. Immediately Bunny's face softened but his eyes were still glaring at Jack as he dropped him. Your arms dropped to your sides as well as you continued "its okay"
"Yeah Cottontail, your girlfriend's fine." Jack added while dusting himself off, which you slightly pinkened at.
"Wha-what was that? She's not my girlfriend, ya bloody dingbat." This slightly tinged your heart, but obviously he didn't like you back, yet.
Jack just put his hands up "okay, okay, what ever love bunny." He mused and Bunny scoffed in return as Jack smirked and winked at you before flying off.
Bunny's eyes flew to you, softening. "He's so" a frustrated sound rumbles from his throat "...are you okay?"
"Yeah...don't listen to him, he only teases you cause he cares." You give a small smirk as Bunny rolled his eyes, though the corners of his mouth curled up ever so slightly. But they soon curled back down.
"We've all decided that you are gonna need constant supervision, sheila." His eyes were serious and his eyebrows drawn as usual.
"So what if I wanted to bathe?" You questioned as a joke.
"Well, Tooth said she'd take those shifts" an eyebrow raised as he continued jokingly, a smirk growing across his face again, "but if you want me to follow you into the spring again-"
"No, no, I'm good with some girl time with Tooth." You quickly retorted when you caught wind of what he meant. But the idea definitely gave you something to fantasize about later.
So I'm not really good at these author notes, that's why this is the first one and all, so bear with me. I just wanted to say that I'm really happy that so many people like my story and all and I wanted to also say that I would like it if you replied, it makes me really happy when you guys do that. Lastly I would like some feed back of what you want to know about Cupid or what you want them to do next, I'm just kinda writing this as I go and I'm running out of ideas. I just had a huge inspiration spurt since I've been watching Rise of the Guardians at least three times a day and this might be the last multiple chapter update. So thanks for reading and tell me if you want more of these little author notes.
