A/N remember to Review! And this chapter is pretty sex-y! So children beware! Took me a lot of time on this one! Hopefully it's note worthy! I had a fun time writing this one! And the next chapter is on the way!

"How long has he been like this?" Tooth asks handing a cup of tea over to North. Earlier she had visited the the Warren to find it empty. She was going to ask Aster if he would've let her borrow some paints, but the pooka had been nowhere in sight so she had went to North for answers. And when North told her that Bunny would be staying at the pole due to personal matters she had begun to worry and invited him to her palace to talk. It seems like things with Bunny were not going well.

"I do not know." North says raking a hand through his thick grey hair. "He appeared at home, eyes red, and body cold. He had not eaten at all and asked to stay. I told him yes and had fed him."

"Is he sick?" Tooth pours a little more tea in to her cup. She always had worried about Aster and his life. The pooka was always alone at his Warren, he had no friends except for the guardians, and no one to mate with. She pitied him a little.

North shook his head, "I really have no idea...I will check the Warren to see if everything is alright there."

"Good idea." Tooth nods taking tiny sips of her tea. "So how long will he be staying? Has he told you?"

"He tells me after summer is over." North looks around. "I don't know why till then but we will see."

Tooth nods thinking for a bit. What could be so wrong with summer that Bunny would go into hiding at the North Pole? She thought and thought but nothing had came to mind. She looked at North with a questioning gaze but obviously he was wondering the same as herself. She shrugged giving up.

"Well, with him at the pole, how do you think about it?"

North laughs, "Only little will change, the Pole is happy to welcome guests and Aster is a long time friend so it will be very little change. He has been to the Pole many times before so it should be like second home."

Tooth smiled for a second then it had vanished, "Say North..."

"Yes Tooth?"

"Don't you..." Tooth started, she was looking down at her tea, her whole usually chippy attitude drowned and was replaced with depression. "Don't you think Bunny is lonely? He doesn't really talk to us like we do to each other when we have a problem and he doesn't have anyone at his home to actually talk to..."

North's face fell, "Yes...he is not the most social person..."

"I know I shouldn't be talking about him like this but this has been on my mind for the longest." Tooth whispers though they were the only ones in the palace. "I've been really worried about him...maybe you can talk to him and give him so advice..."

"Why me?" North asks. He really didn't want to give Bunny any advice that she had in mind. If she knew what happened between Bunny and himself, Tooth wouldn't even be discussing this.

The fairy giggled, "Well you are a ladykiller North, why don't you show him the ways of your charm."

"Oh I can not do that! I'll be giving away secrets." North laughs with her but in the inside he had never felt more guilty.

Tooth settled down, "Well, I hope he finds someone, Aster is the type who can't stay lonely for a long time."

"Why do you assume that?"

Tooth shrugged, "I just have that feeling about him, he's been lonely for centuries and being alone for that long can take a toll on a person..." She rubbed her arms, "I just...I feel so bad."

"I know Tooth," North says deeply.

"Why are you still single?" Tooth asks abruptly. The question had been lingering in her mind for the longest as well and it was one she couldn't really understand. North is a great man, has a good heart, and is very well with other people. So why is he still single?

North blinked. He had not been expecting the question but he was not all too surprised by it. Many spirits have asked him the same, but he hadn't ever thought of Tooth to ask.

"Well..." North sighed scratching the back of his neck. "I do not have time to...mingle and such with other spirits...and I'm not really looking for anyone at time."

Tooth nodded. "Well, you have dated other spirits...like fairy godmother."

North kept silent as Tooth thought, it had been a while since he had 'dated' but he and fairy godmother were only close friends, nothing more and nothing less. Yet news of them being so close had led to rumours even rumours that the guardians believe. And it was right after his rejection of the Easter Bunny to make matters even worse.

"That was long time ago." North waves, dismissing it. "I am not looking for relationship."

Tooth smiles then sighs, "You know...at one time...I actually thought that Bunnymund liked you? Like in a mate type of way? Not the friend mate but the intimate mate." She rambled softly.

Norths breath had hitched. How did she know? He gulped before giving a nervous chuckle, "What brought that idea?"

"Oh well...it's just that he started acting funny" Tooth rubs her hands together uncomfortably. "He would bring you things he found when scrounging on a mission as if he were trying to impress you or how he would always jump at the opportunity to show off or be with you when we had to split up...it's like he wanted you to notice him."

"That is silly." North smiles, his eyes portraying discomfort. "He always hated me as leader."

"I think he only did that to get a reaction from you." Tooth shakes her head. "It may sound ridiculous but that's how it seemed...He would always complain but eventually he would smile and laugh with you...What am I talking about? Bunny couldn't..." She shakes her head. "I am being silly."

North sighed, he placed his tea on the table, before looking at Tooth with stern and unclear eyes. It was time for him to finally come clean. "Tooth, there is something I must tell you."

:::Currently At The Pole:::

"Is North around?" Bunny asks as he hopped in front of the yetis. The white fur covered creature shook his head. "Oh, where is he?"

Bunny could not smell the man anywhere, and it was beginning to make him worry. Where would North go? And why had he not told him? He had been wondering around the Pole for minutes now looking for answers.

The yeti shook its head.

"You don't know?" Bunny asks stupidly.

The yeti pointed to the number eight on the clock then grunted.

"He said he'll be back at eight." Bunny repeats. He nods taking in the new information. He looked around the Pole, "I-is there any work for me to do around here?"

The yetis eyebrow raised.

"I-I just don't wanna be here and not doing anything..." Bunnys voice trailed off. In a flash the yeti whipped out a to-do list and shoved it to Bunnys chest. The pooka quickly snatched up the list before it fell to the floor and watched the yeti leave with a happy whistle.

Bunny slowly looked at the list and his jaw dropped. There was so much to-do! He would have to yell at North later about the lie of small work...He looked back at the wall clock...It was only 10:00 a.m. he had plenty of time to finish before the man got home.

With a sigh Bunny took another look at the list and made his way to the first job; washing dishes.

An hour had passed before Bunny had finished with the dishes. Now, it may sound like an easy job but living in the Pole with many elves and yetis made it harder. Afterward he had scrubbed the floors, dust the many shelves of the Pole, polish the tables, and fix the light bulbs in the right autrum of the Pole. He had so much more to do in so little time.

"How do the yetis do this?" Bunny sighed as he carried his mop bucket around. "What's next on the bloody list?"

He was going down the line, mumbling check often, as his scanned through the yetis perfect cursive writing. It had looked as if he done a lot but really he was only at the tip of the iceberg.

BOOM!

Bunny jumped, spilling all contents of his mop bucket on the floor and wetting his list. "Dammit!" He cursed trying to pick up any remains of the list he could.

Elves ran out the kitchen as fast as they could. Dingle dashed toward the Easter Bunny to seek safety but saw that the bunny was not in his best mood.

"And what was that?" Bunny snarled as he looked down at the elf. Dingle pointed to the kitchen with his best look of innocence.

Bunny stomped over to the the kitchen and screamed.

It was mess! The floors were covered in mix, the ceiling had gunk everywhere, and the table looked broken, and what was that smell? Bunny turned toward the stove, and his eyes almost popped out of his head. There was something on the oven burning! Quickly Bunny rushed over and turned whatever it was off.

He sniffed then looked behind him to the kitchen door. There stood seven elves, including Dingle, poking into the kitchen. With a growl, each fled in different directions. Bunny turned back to the stove. "These damn elves..."

It was 5:00 p.m. and bunny had finished most of the work on the list. All he had to do now was rearrange the closets, and straighten the bedrooms.

He stretched for a bit. Crikey, he thought that work at his home was hard...He yawned, he hadn't got much sleep.

"Hmmph!" A yeti grunted handing him another list. Bunny blinked as the yeti walked off. He looked down, it read;

Dinner at 7:00 pm

"I have to make dinner?!" Bunny cried looking at the small list. He doesn't have the time to make dinner! If only he'd known sooner then maybe he would've went a little faster with his work!

He rushed to the kitchen. "What to cook? What to cook?!' He mumbled under his breath. He'd have to cook then get back to work. He searched the kitchen til his eyes fell on the piece of paper lying on the polished table. It said 'Spaghetti Night'. His fur flickered up as he shook from lightenment. Pasta wouldn't take too long and then he could add side meals.

There were millions of Elves and yetis to stay at the pole so bunny had to make enough for EVERYONE. And it had taken him longer than expected. He had made spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad just enough to feed everyone and even more. He sighed as he wiped his paws on his apron. Finally! He was finished! He gave himself a mental pat on the back, never had he felt so accomplished.

"Aster?" North asked as he entered the kitchen. He had sound amazed.

Bunny opened his eyes and smiled nervously, "Good morning North- I mean good evening!"

North looked around, "Did you clean?"

"Y-yeah! Took a while too! There was a bunch to do on the list and I started early-" Bunny rambled.

North cocked a brow, "What list?"

"The list the yet is gave me." Bunny felt his stomach twist.

"That was the yetis chores! Did they help you?" North asks. He felt angry that the yetis would push Bunny into their work.

Bunny smile fell, replaced with anger. "No! I've been doing all this work!"

"Why don't you wash up so we can have dinner?" North recommended looking Aster up and down. It looked as if the rabbit hadn't bathe in months.

Bunny looked down at himself embarrassed at his appearance. He could use a nice wash. And maybe a good combing.

"Alright." Bunny rushed out if the kitchen. He could feel his face warm and a blush glow through his fur. His heart beat sped, and his paws felt sweaty as he passed the North. He always got this way when he was around the man.

North still looked around amazed. He was stunned when he had first walked into the Pole. It was cleaner than usual, squeaking even! He knew the yetis hadn't done this and no way would the elves do this so it had left one person in the Pole. He had been more surprised to walk into the kitchen to see the rabbits fixing dinner for everyone. He smiled maybe having Bunny staying at the Pole won't be too bad.

He roamed around the kitchen, inspecting every inch; everything was cleaned, washed, and polished. Not a dust particle in sight.

"So clean..." He mumbled under his breath.

"Nick?"

North turned around to see Bunny; his fur dripping wet, as he wore one of his red coats. He gulped and blushed at the sight...Aster looked so...wonderful.

"There were no towels to dry off with so I just took one of the coats hanging up, I hope that's fine?" Aster says looking forward to the man in front of him.

"Dahh," North nods before snapping out of his day dreams. "I mean, da, it is fine."

They had sat in awkward silence at the dinner table as they ate. Bunny would glance at Nick every so often then turn his attention back to his plate, and Nick did the same. It felt weird...

"I-it's been awhile since I've eaten with someone..." Bunny admits not daring to look North in the face. "I'm a little nervous." His fork shook in his paw.

"Da." Nick says feeling just as lost as the pooka. "Maybe we should talk?"

"O-ok." Bunny looks around to find something to talk about. "I-I..." He paused feeling rather uncomfortable. His throat felt rather tight, and his paws were shaky. "I'm not good at this!" He placed his fork on his plate.

"Aster?" North says worried about his friend.

"I'm not good at talking mate! I-I can't do this!" He pulled back his chair and stood up, "I ain't social! I haven't talked to a person in over a decade and I haven't had dinner with anyone since your last guardian get together!" He admitted shamley.

"Aster," North stood. "Just sit down and tell me about your day?"

"But I ain't-"

North hushed him, "Just tell me about what happened today. That's all you have to do. I know you are not social but please be open with me."

Bunny nodded as he sat back in his chair. North really wanted to listen to him and he didn't want to let him down by chickening out of a simple request by talking. He took a deep breath, "Well, for starters..."

Dinner had was okay in North's opinion. The food was great, the kitchen was clean, and he liked the company. He had been worried for a second that Bunny would have a break down at the dining table but luckily he was able to prevent such a matter. And Aster was such a good talker that he kept his attention for the longest. They had spoke more, instead of eating but that was fine too. North just felt so happy with Aster.

"Goodnight Nicholas." Bunny gave a weary smile at the man.

North had walked the pooka back to his room, they stood right outside his door. The man blushed. "Goodnight Aster."

Bunny smiled as he walked into his guest room and shut the door quietly leaving Nick on the other side. He had worked so much today that he deserved a rest. He smiled as he dubbed underneath the covers and curl into a ball with a certain round human on his mind.

"Goodnight," North mumbled one last time before heading off to his own room. Today had been hectic. He had come clean to Tooth and she had seemed more accepting than he had thought. And he didn't have to tell Sandy of his past with the pooka, he was sure that Sandy knew from all the dreams he has had that were memories of the day he rejected Aster. And now Jack Frost even knows.

Norths smile disappeared.

Why did Bunny ask Jack to become his mate? What did Bunny feel towards the younger spirit? Does Bunny even have feeling for him anymore?

North shook his head. He did not want to think of Bunnys personal business but he couldn't help the slight jealousy of someone else catching the pookas attention rather than himself. Just thinking about it made him so angry.

"Calm yourself." Nick warned. When he got angry there was no stopping his rage. He had learned a few techniques over the years to keep it down and have more patience but this made him angrier than he's ever been. He would have to stop himself before things get out of hand...North was a person who acted on emotions and anger would be the worse to deal with.

He had made it to his room safely. He had shut the door and made it to the bathroom. First he would take a good bath then head to bed and in the morning he would start on his work for this Christmas.

Knock. Knock.

Nick turned the knob down on his shower. He grabbed the nearest towel and flung it around his waist still exposing the tattoos on his muscles chest and arms. It was probably one of the yetis asking about new toy designs. They tend to do it at the wildest of times.

He opened the door, he was still dripping wet and his hair hung down untamed. And suddenly his cheeks turned a light shade of pink hue as he saw who was on the other side. "A-Aster? What are you doing up so late?!"

The pooka blushed, looking away from the mans body. "I just wanted an extra pillow."

Aster could feel his hormones flare at the site of the man. Summer "heat" was finally kicking back in for him after centuries. He could feel his slit moisten between his legs and his hole twitch... His eyes slowly raked over Norths body...Oh moon he could feel his cock slowly emerging from his slit. He needed to leave!

In a flash the pooka had turned, ready to make a dash to to his room. However a strong hand on his wrist had stopped him. Bunny turned back to see Nick's confused face.

"You may have a pillow." North says bringing him into his room. "I have too many anyway."

North stepped over to his dresser to let Bunny choose which pillows he wanted as he would pick out his sleeping wear. He paused once he had heard a dripping noise. He had turned off the shower, he was sure, and he hadn't left the faucet running...Slowly he had turned back to face Bunny.

"A-Aster!" North gasp as he watched his friend wince his eyes shut and struggled to catch his breath, the pooka was even shaking a little. "What is..."

His words trailed off as he looked further down the pooka...Aster was dripping cum on his floor. The pooka was hard as a brick as cum dripped between his legs onto his floor. The pooka began to hug himself for comfort as he dripped more and more.

"I'm sorry!" Aster cried, hugging himself tightly. "I didn't mean to do this...my body and this...y-your scent...I didn't want to! I-I-" Aster began to choke on air. "I'm so sorry!" More cum began to spill over and his cries had become louder more filled with much pain and ecstasy. "Nicholas!~" Bunny exclaimed as he finished off his seeds.

His legs were numb, he had never cum so much til the point it would actually hurt. He stumbled over to Nick's bed and passed out.

North had only been watching but his own senses made him want to jump on the bed and crawl on top of the pooka. He had not even noticed that during it all he had been hard as well. He ran to the bathroom to finish his business then with cleaning supplies to clean Bunny's mess on the floor and Bunny.

He pushed up his red coat Aster wore and had cleaned between the rabbit's legs but he was not all clear minded when he did so... A finger would ever so slightly run against the rabbits hole or brush against his slit to make the pooka jump in his sleep.

"So beautiful." Nick whispered as he cleaned between Aster. His finger gently going inside the pooka. He could hear the creatures soft moans. "You are so beautiful." He whispers again as his finger begins to slowly thrust in and out.

Nick had no idea why he was doing such a thing. He hadn't felt a sexual attraction to the pooka...did he? Why else would he be here slowly finger fucking the poor rabbit? Taking his precious time just to hear the pooka moan out in pleasure from his hands work?

He could see the pookas cock emerge again through his red robe. Now that he had a close up view he could see that Aster had a nice size, North would say about 5 inches, it was nice and long, not even thick unlike North's monsterous cock. It turned North on for some reason. He used his other hand to slowly tease the head of it.

'What if he doesn't want this?' Norths thoughts put him to a halt in all his movements. Bunny had cried earlier when he was dripping cum that it was not his intent on doing so and that it was hormones. Nick slowly pulled away from the rabbit. He shouldn't have even thought about touching him in the first place. He pulled himself away from the pooka.

He looked down on the bed; Aster was sprawled out everywhere; his legs were open as if calling North for an invitation, his cock was half out just begging to be touched by North's skilled hands, and Bunny's beautiful face made it even more tempting to try.

North shook his head. He couldn't. He shouldn't. And he wouldn't. He still had morals to follow.

:::Morning:::

The next morning North had woken up in a bed that was not his own but own of the guest rooms at the pole. He had allowed Bunny to sleep in his room while ha slept here. He wasn't too disappointed with the move, in all honesty, he felt like the pooka deserved it from all the hard work he had done yesterday and the...incident that had occurred as well.

He heard a knock on his door, but instead of getting up to answer he stayed in bed; too lazy and tired to actually go answer. "Come in!" He called out hoping whoever it was didn't hear him and would leave him be for a couple of minutes.

The door slowly opened, much to Nick's disappointment, withstand creek and shut. Nick sat up on the bed, scratching his face and yawning, "Yes?" His eyes were closed as he stretched.

"I brought you breakfast..." Bunny says shyly.

North's eyes snap opened as soon as he heard Asters voice. The pooka had been carrying a tray load of food. He placed it on the nightstand before looking off to the side.

"I apologize Mate for last night." Bunny looks downward, "I didn't think I'd act the way I did" he blushes. "My hormones went a little haywire And I'm glad you haven't put me out"

"It is fine." North says waving it off.

Bunny shakes his head. "I'll make it up to ya! I'll cook, clean, do whether you need me to do! Let's forget about last night!"

'Whatever I need?' The dirty question popped into the mans thoughts. 'Why not bend over table right there? Cum like you had last night? Maybe fuck on the floor?'

Nick had to shake his head away from those thoughts. He hadn't ever thought of bunny in such a way that it was leaving him feeling weird. All his thoughts were on the barely visible curves bunny has or the tightness of his ass and how badly North wanted to run it down to softness. Bunny probably never even had a good fuck before...North gushed over the idea of being the pookas first (though bunny has only slept with with females).

"Sounds good?" Bunny asks nervously. In the inside he was freaking out. He had made a fool of himself last night and now he definitely had to repay the man. Who knew how long it took to scrub away all that cum last night? And what else could he do? He had already made a fool of himself once before and now with this? It was just icing on a no good piece of cake.

North smiles, "Sounds Good."
