Welcome to chapter 5. Yay! A double update!
Confessions
It had been two days since Bunny brought Frost to the warren. He helped her build a new nest for herself and her foot healed completely, as Pookas are extremely fast healers. And those two days both Pookas have been happier then they had been since Pitch's attack on their home planet. They were almost inseparable except for at night when they had to go to sleep, and every night Bunny silently thanked Manny for saving her and bringing them together.
It was about an hour till noon and Bunny was looking for Frost, who had wandered off earlier, to see what she wanted for lunch. Eventually he found her sitting by one of the dye pools watching the egglets make their rounds. He smiled, she looked almost peaceful and he was reluctant to disturb her. In fact he probably would have left her alone, but her overly delicate ears picked up on him walking up behind her and she turned to look at him with a small smile.
"Hey." She said as she slowly stood up.
"Hey, I was just comin' to see what ya wanted for lunch." Bunny said with his own smile.
"Uh well just about anything sounds good really, well anything but meat of course." Frost said taking a step toward him, but she tripped and almost fell into the pool of pink dye behind her. Closing her eyes she let out a yelp as she fell backwards, only to open them again to see Bunny had caught her.
"Careful Snowflake. Don't wanna ruin that white fur of yours with that there dye do ya?" Bunny laugh and helped her sit back down.
"Oh uh n-no I guess I don't. Thanks for catching me." Frost stuttered. Had she been in her more human form her face would be ten shades of red by now. Bunny smirked and sat down next to her.
"No problem." He said and looked at her. He frond when he saw she looked a bit upset. "Hey are you alright? Did you hurt your foot again when you tripped?" Bunny asked.
"No, it's just…" Frost sighed, "Never mind it's stupid." She said looking away only to have Bunny gently grab her chin and force her to look him in the eye.
"Tell me what's wrong. I promise I won't judge ya no matter what. I don't like seeing you upset like this." Bunny said softly receiving another sigh from the doe next to him.
"Well it's just, I've been thinking. I know that you accepted me right away when you saw me like this, but that was probably because I'm another Pooka. But what about the other guardians? What will they think when they find out?" Frost asked, her voice quivering as if she might cry.
"Hey now, is that all? Don't be worried about them, they'll accept you just as quickly. And if they don't then they'll have to deal with me." Frost giggled a little at this part and Bunny kept going, "What you did was necessary for you to survive, not to mention Manny told you to do it. And don't you ever think that I accepted you just because you are another Pooka, I accepted you because your you." Bunny said. Frost looked confused.
"What do you mean?" She asked. Bunny closed his eyes for a moment and took a breath before starting again.
"When you were still Jack Frost I had felt some kind of pull toward you. I knew I was in love with ya but kept denying it because then ya were a human winter spirit and well a guy. Honestly I was starting to lose it and wasn't sure how much longer I could deny that I felt something for ya. Well I guess that finding out ya were a Pooka, a doe no less, was what had finally sent me over the edge. What finally made me realize I had to stop doubting my feelings. Ya see it wouldn't matter what form you were in. I love you because your you. I can deny it all I want but the feelings still remain the same. And once I figured that out I wanted to do everything in my power to protect ya and make ya happy. Because I don't think I can bare losing ya." Bunny finally finished looking her in the eye, hoping she felt the same.
Almost immediately she flung herself at him.
"I-I'm so so happy to hear you say that because, well I love you to. I always have even before we first met. When I first heard your name I knew." Frost started rambling and would have continued had Bunny not silenced her with a kiss.
When they finally pulled her apart they were both breathless.
"Ya have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." Bunny said grinning.
"Oh I think I do." Frost said and kissed Bunny again. "Ya know," Frost said in between kisses, "I think I know what I want for lunch."
"Oh really? And what would that be?" Bunny asked.
"You…"
