"What?!" North exclaimed at the fairy. Tooth fluttered from her sitting spot on the railing, "I told you! Bunny loves Jack, Jack loves Bunny and Jack has scars!"
North slammed his hands on the nearby table in frustration, Tooth had interrupted his work only a few hours after she followed the pair. She had arrived out of breath, in tears and an emotion he couldn't identify. "Maybe you saw wrong." North tried to think of a reasonable explanation for what was happening.
"I know what I saw." Her eyes narrowed, defending her position. North raised his hands in defense, better not to start a fight. He walked over to a self and took out the book of guardians. It held the oath, rules, and everthing else the guardians needed to know about their jobs. The Russian flipped through the pages as Tooth looked over his shoulder.
She pointed to page 394, "Relationships?" North nodded and set the large book on the table before sitting in the large chair. The fairy fluttered up next to him as North flipped to the page.
'Relationships.
If a Guardian is to fall in love with a mortal they must be prepared. Their lover will become a target for darkness. They must know that one day the lover might not see them and they must fight for them. If this does happen then the Guardian may be prepared to give up their post.'
North stopped reading and looked over at Tooth. His eyes were wide, "We can give up our post?" Tooth's mouth gaped in surprise, "Apparently. But back on topic! It doesn't say anything against two guardians falling in love."
North sat back in his chair, "I guess we have to let them be together." Tooth let out what sounded like a groan to the russian and pulled at her feathers in frustration. "Tooth, what is the problem?" The fairy queen let go of her feathers, "I-it's just I wanted to be the one to hold Jack. I wanted to be there for him."
North stood up and placed a hand on the fluttering fairy's shoulder so she was facing him, "You will always be there for him but as a mother figure or a sister." She sighed, "I guess so. But what about Jack's scars?" North started walking to the sleigh, "We will have a talk with them, to the sleigh!" Tooth got in willingly quickly, "What about my fairies?"
North gave a chuckle, "Use your little mind reading so we can be alone with the two love birds." The fairy glared at him as the sleigh made it through the tunnel and North took out a snow globe, "Too soon then?" He chuckled before spinning the globe lightly, "Warren." Swirling colors appeared in front of them as the guardians appeared in the warren and landed the sleigh safely before getting out and scanning the area.
"Now where is that pooka?" North muttered, looking for the two while the fairy shot out of the sleigh like a bullet. She fluttered until she reached the large paint river the ran though the center of the endless spring. The russian flinched as a scream rose to his ears, "YOU TWO! OVER HERE NOW." He walked to the river where he found a very guilty Jack and Bunny and a glaring Tooth.
"Bunny why didn't you tell us when you found out?" North said in a calming voice as Tooth's expression turned to surprise, "THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU ASK?" She exploded, making Jack and Bunny flinch but North only waved her off.
The pooka took a step forward, if either one of the other guardians lashed out Bunny would get the hardest of the blow, "I-I wanted to respect Jack's privacy." He muttered, ears laying almost flat against his skull.
North nodded, "Well there is nothing in the book about this." Both males looked up at the other two suddenly, eyes glowing with a smile. "Although we do have a few rules. Tooth go ahead then we shall get an explanation." Jack winced at this, shit. Explaining.
Tooth sighed, she had become protective over her Jack, "No sleeping in the same room, keep physical contact to a minimum and Bunny I swear to man in Moon if you do anything to hurt him I will personally beat you to a fucking pulp." Her feathered body advancing slowly on the pooka as her voice grew lower. Now Bunny is not one to back down from a fight but given their current situation he only nodded.
Jack watched with steady eyes, his love did not step one foot back, he would take any punishment they could dish out but it would be only him to get it. He met eyes with north as the russian quietly pulled the queen off the pooka. "Tooth you have yelled enough. We now need answers." North pulled a snow globe out of his pocket, Tooth and North walked through, leaving Jack and Bunny. "We could just stay here, seal off the entrances." Bunny pleaded when Jack stepped up to the portal.
The winter spirit sighed and took Bunny's furry hand, "They would find us. Besides they deserve to know." The pooka nodded before walking through the torturous portals, landing in the sitting room of the workshop. The russian and the queen were already sitting in two large armchairs, two more were placed facing them. "Sit." North demanded as the two slowly made their way to the chairs and sat down, their hands never breaking.
"Who wants to explain?" Tooth said calmly, although she was having a problem sitting still. Jack gulped, pulled his knees up to his chest and raised his other hand. Blue eyes filled with fear his started talking.
"Well, I was alone for 300 years so that is bound to take a toll on your self esteem. And in '68 all I wanted was someone to talk to," Bunny's eyes closed tightly and he gripped Jack's hand for a second before releasing and returning his eyes to the floor. Jack already explained this too him and he cried, he would not appear that weak now. "Then I finally get a call from the wonderful guardians, but they only need me to save the world! I know now we're friends but it hurt to only be used." His hand not attached to the large paw and gripping in and out of a fist as he spoke. "When Bunny found me I was ready to end it. I didn't think anyone cared but he proved me wrong."
North sighed as Jack finished his tale, "Well this is a lot to take in at one time. Let us talk to Sandy, then we will give you our verdict. Jack your room is down the hall, third door to the right. Bunny same but first door on the left." The two nodded before walking off.
When they reached the hallway they gave one last hug. Bunny almost departed to his room before he heard the trademark cheeky voice behind him, "Kangaroo, I forgot my staff."
Aster turned to see the winter spirit with a smirk, "Who you callin a kangaroo mate?" he tapped his foot on the floor, sending them both down the tunnel into endless spring.
