Author's note: okay I might be getting the hang of this

~Jack~

The precinct is as dead as usual, everyone is doing what little paperwork there is left to do, the precinct is a giant open room except three small rooms for the captain, break, and interrogation the main room has two rows creating an aisle up the middle, the Captain enters from the his office at the back corner just as Jack and Aster arrive, "So…" Jack's voice is loud enough to grab the other cops attention each looking nervous when they see Aster and Jack at the doorway, "Whose bullheaded plan was it to send the newbie on a scavenger hunt for me, with false information?" everyone shuffles around awkwardly as they look over at Jack and Aster, Jack can feel Aster's heat radiating off of him and washing over himself, which is making his pants uncomfortably tight this is not the time for that, Jack pinched the skin on his arms that he currently had folded across his chest; Jack shifts from one leg to the other. No one responded to Jack's question, but the captain quickly turned around and headed back to his office obviously trying to hide, "You have got to be kidding, really Captain North, really?"

North turns back to Jack, trying to play it off like it was nothing he shrugged his shoulder, "I thought it would be good time for you, and us as well" his heavy Russian accent made it hard to understand what he had said, "If he got lost you would find him, yes?" Jack nods unsure there was any other response that wouldn't get him in trouble, "Then I see no problem, Frost" North turns to the other cops "All right break is over, get back to work." North's voice rang out through the room, causing everyone to hurry back to work.

"Bloody hell, these people are insane" Aster's voice came barely above a whisper, so quiet only Jack heard, he turned towards Aster raising my eyebrow to which Aster just scratched the back of his head, the muscles in his arms flexing from the position they were in, causing Jack to unconsciously swallow.

"Right, okay, I'll show you to your desk" Jack shook his head as he starts walking forward towards the back of the room; what am I thinking he is my partner Jack's body's treacherous reaction to Aster's closeness still held victory over his mind, my mind was all over the place, "Here we are," Jack pointed to the only open desk other than his own frowning slightly at the now empty desk that once held a close friend, Jack collapsed into my own chair picking up the file for his case, "Unpack, I'll brief you on our case once you're done," Aster looked over at Jack nodding, but there seemed to be nervousness embedded in his eyes that fought with the annoyance also present, He reached into a box that he had picked up at the entrance, pulling out simple office supplies, and then he pulled out a cup that had E. Aster Bunnymund in cursive along the top, I couldn't stop my laugh that left me, causing Aster to look over at me in annoyance I think that's just his normal face, but before he could say anything Jack cut in "Your name is E. Aster Bunnymund?" he half expected it to be a joke,

"There is nothing wrong with my name, mate" Aster's eyes narrow, and for some odd reason that just pushes Jack to annoy him further, probably due to the black eye that was currently forming because of Aster,

"Your right there is nothing wrong with you name… Bunny,"

~Aster~

Anger radiated off of Aster; that is it no matter how much my body wants this guy my brain despises him tenfold, "listen here frostbite," Jack frowns at the nickname Aster had given him, but Aster was too angry to care "We are partners, so whatever prejudice you have against me, drop it or it will get us both killed!" Aster's yelling caught the attention of some of the other cops near by

Frost stands up from his chair slamming his hands on his desk, "Listen here Bunny, when we are out there I drop all ill will I have with my partner who ever they may be, if need be I'd jump in front of a bullet for them, even you. My prejudice as you call it, against you is most likely due to the black eye forming on my face because you can't keep your shit together, so shut up and sit down" Aster could tell Frost was fuming, but he keeps his voice level never raising his voice above a whisper, his eyes are so cold like ice, though their beauty is still drawing him in even though their once joyful nature is long gone,

Aster mumbles an apology realizing he had pushed Frost too far; his apology seemed to loosen the tension in the younger man's shoulders. Aster sighs placing his now empty box on the ground and collapsing into his chair, Jack follows suit running his long fingers through his hair. Aster unconsciously lick my lips only realizing what I've done after Frost's lips pull into a smirk that makes my body warm, shit did he see that… "You okay there bunny, you look a little…" Aster swallow nervously as Jack tilts his head causing wisps of white hair to fall over his face, making him look younger than he is, Frost stands up suddenly, and walks over to me, as he gets close his smell enveloped Aster he smells like winter. Aster's nose twitched at the smell of his second favourite season

"What are you…" Frost reaches towards Aster, this cannot be happening; just as Aster thinks Jake's about to touch him Aster almost closes his eyes, but Frost reaches past and picks up Aster's coffee mug, without saying another word Frost picks up his own mug as well and walks away. "Crikey, if this keeps up I'm going to have a few screws loose myself" Aster appraises Frost again as he walks away, what the hell is causing my body to react like this.

~Jack~

I'm going insane; Jack looks back through the curtains of the break room to see Bunny twirling a pencil between his long slender fingers, his mind obviously off in another place, Aster turns and looks over to where Jack is currently hiding, he steps back from the window; I don't think I'd ever been that mad at someone, and then had that anger completely erased just by how they look at me in the next moment. Jack thought back to how he was tempted to touch his hair when he was reaching for Aster's coffee cup; Jack looks down at the cups now full, and sees a reflection to his left. "Shit!" his heart leaps out of his chest as hand rests on his shoulder, he turns around to see a Tooth standing beside him, "damn it Tooth, I swear to god if anything on this job kills me it will be you." Tooth giggles, her multicolored pixie styled hair cut bouncing at the action. Jack smiled back never really able to totally mad at her, she is like a sister to him.

"There is a phone call for you…"

"Is that why you scared me to death," Jack let out a short laugh which, Tooth reached up pinching his nose "Ow!"

"Let me finish before you interrupt, or I'll punch out those beautiful teeth of yours, " The person on the phone says his name is Sandy; which I thought was a fake; it is, is it not, I mean no one names their kid that it's so weird"

"Says the girl named Tooth," Jake smiled once again as Tooth stuck out her tongue at him, Jack turned back to the coffees carefully picking them up while trying to avoid the sides, "Oh could you patch him through to my desk… please" Jack adds quickly before hurrying back to his desk, placing the coffee down, and picking up the phone, the person on the other end keeps it short getting a meeting place and time before hanging up. "Looks like I'll have to brief you in the car bunny, let's go"
