Chapter Nine: Oblivious Bliss
Three months went by and it was coming up to Jack's birthday, of course, Jack told Bunnymund. He wasn't one of these, keep it a secret and get no fuss kind of guy, he liked attention and appreciation within moderation and was silently becoming more and more excited as his birthdate came forth, 3rd March*. Bunnymund had been keen to get him something but wasn't sure what he would appreciate most so spent ages observing and taking in everything about Jack in order to discover what he truly desired.
He wanted it to be special for goodness sake, in prison. Birthdays are just another day; why not make this one, seven years after empty occasions, his best? That day was a visitor day – Sandy and Tooth were coming for Bunnymund whilst Jamie and his little sibling Sophie. Just before Sophie went to greet him, Bunnymund pulled her over to his desk with permission from Jamie and Jack.
"Hey there, ya little ankle biter, my name is Bunnymund, but call me Bunny if you want" he smiled and Sophie stared up at him with wide, soft green eyes that might have even reminded him of his own. She had long, shaggy golden hair, browning gradually around the edges; she wore a pale blue dress with a paler green shrug and little tan shoes.
Jack looked over from chatting to Jamie; who was trying to tell a girl at his school how he felt about her, and grinned with crinkled blue eyes as he saw Sophie sitting on the chair opposite from his cell-mate, leaning across to the point of kneeling on her seat, messing with his ears as Bunnymund laughed. Jamie caught his dream-like gazing and coughed meaningfully.
Jack snapped back into reality and turned to Jamie with a coy blush. Jamie's eyes widened and he made an obvious 'ooohhh' noise that Jack looked horrified at in response.
"What?!" he yelled and Jamie sniggered.
"You could have told me, Jack" he replied simply, leaning forward, placing his right cheek on his hand, elbow on the table as he lifted his eyebrows up and down suggestively as Jack flinched and pursed his lips.
"I…I don't know w-what you are talking about" he folded his arms and huffed. Jamie laughed, pulling something out of his bag simultaneously.
"Fine, fine, you don't have to admit anything yet, but this is for you" he grinned and Jack managed to beat his grin with his own lit up one as he saw a wrapped gift placed before him on the table and the guard moved forward to scan it for danger but confirmed it safe and Jack took it gratefully.
"Thanks, Jay!" he closed his eyes with glee and Jamie nodded cheerfully.
"No problem, Sophie has something too, she will give it to you once she has finished tugging on your boyfrie-I mean friends ears" he strained with sarcastic emphasis that Jack rolled his eyes at.
Meanwhile, Tooth and Sandy had entered and said hello to the little girl who looked up with eyes full of wonder, remarking on how pretty Toothiana was, who simply blushed and offered some of her tools of trade, to which Sophie started backing away from.
Bunnymund chuckled and suggested that "teeth, blood and gums" might not be the best thing to show a nine year old. Tooth simply shrugged with a charming smile and moved back to let Bunnymund and Sandy greet each other. The golden haired man had always been quiet and it was mostly hand symbols and expressions of contentment.
Bunnymund ushered Sophie to go see Jack, thanking her for her help. And she nodded, hugging Bunnymund briefly before darting off. Sandy and Toothiana looked genuinely surprised but carried on conversing with their old friend, Tooth was upset about the ornament but glad things worked out that way they did. She could completely tell how the inmate felt about his shiny toothed cell-mate but said nothing for the sake of the Australians pride.
Sandy and Tooth however, did agree to collect a gift on Bunnymund's behalf for the following week, to which it would be the younger man's birthday. She also offered to get him something herself, purely out of the admiration she felt for his teeth that glittered like freshly fallen snow. Sandy also gestured he would put in and help celebrate.
By the end of the visiting session and when Jack and Bunnymund were back in their cell for lunch, they felt much better and cuddled up on Jack's bed whilst talking about their old life and what they think could happen in the future, nothing serious, more like…what would be for dinner.
Jack loved snuggling into the older man's chest, now it seemed pretty acceptable to show affection for Bunnymund despite neither admitting anything yet; nuzzling his way into the heat of his body, holding him close and inhaling his musky scent that excited his body quietly.
Bunnymund had no issues with the tender ministrations from the younger man and would kiss and purr into the top of his fluffy snowy hair. Wishing he could build up the…strength to tell Jack how he felt, how he loved the way he moved like he could fly on the wind, how he spoke like a silver-tongued, soft hearted trickster, how he had all the unique, stunning details of a snowflake. Just everything he loved about the young man but he couldn't bring his lead heavy tongue to say it out loud. Sighing, Jack noticed his lover's slight distress and leant up to kiss his nose.
"What's up Bunny?"
"…Nothing, Frost"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah" Bunnymund chuckled and kissed Jack on the lips tenderly, winding his fingers through the velvety pearl hair pulling him slowly closer and drawing every whimper and gasp from his lovers mouth, whilst letting Jack slide on top of him. The movement in itself sent electricity through both of them, as Jack's light, small tongue lapped into Bunnymund's mouth, a low groan escaped the Australian and he swore under his breath under the revelation of how good Jack tasted.
Jack couldn't help but move against the older man in a way that could only be considered something of a sensual movement, the low groan that was elicited due to his pressing against Bunnymund's stomach and legs thrilled Jack and he did it again until a slow, albeit awkward rhythm was set and sending them both into a wild passion.
It didn't help when they both brushed over something that sent convulsions and yelps through them and Jack furiously bit his lip trying to regain the friction, to which he succeeded and his eyes rolled back with pleasure.
"Oh, god…Bunny" escaped his tone in a breathless breeze and Bunnymund's mouth parted at the look of grace on the beautiful kid on top of him. The movements were making his left leg shudder slightly and he hoped he wouldn't turn into thumper.
His ears twitched and lay back as he lifted his hips and added to the shocking ministrations, Jack speeding up, gripping onto the sheets and Bunnymund. Desperate for closer contact through the several layers of clothing, in fact he knew no satisfaction would be gained through the senseless rutting and he stopped, catching his breath, hair tousled sexily over his expression, face blushing hard.
Bunnymund was a little more than confused as to why his lover had stopped but realised the lack of progression and sighed, leaning up to take Jack in a satisfying kiss of lust and desire, his emerald eyes shining with a glazed love.
They slept in the same bed that night, the guard, the honey eyed one who had been pretty decent compared to all the others, didn't have an issue as long as no genuine intimacy was shared before him. Bunnymund had teased Jack on more than one occasion, claiming no one else deserved to see the looks of pleasure on the younger prisoner's fair face.
But intimacy was one of the lesser things shown during association times, some people still thought they could waltz up to Jack Frost and push him up against the wall, slobbering their muzzles over his perfect lips like they owned him, it was never groundhog but other, sex-deprived goons that made the Australian want to retch and destroy.
He did close enough when he threw them back by the throat and straddled them, beating their faces in until being pretty was a faraway dream.
The guards would yank him off and tell him to settle down but they were always convinced by Manny to leave the short-tempered Aussie alone as he went back to check on Jack, running his fingers secretly through his hair and kissing his eyelids with concern as he ran medication over (bought by himself) any and even the smallest wounds.
The love and attention made Jack giddy and to anyone else, Bunnymund's parental nature would be patronising and insulting, but it was just what Jack wanted, protection, care and tender understanding, Bunnymund gave him all that and more.
God forbid the older man find out Jack was practically head over heels with him. It wasn't professional and this was prison.
Jack was in one of his education lessons and Bunnymund was laughing over something with Leprechaun and Huntsman in the laundry room when it happened.
The stony eyed, homophobic guard from earlier, who refused Jack's papers, was having lunch in the staff room with colleagues, chatting about some blonde, big breasted chick in a bar the other night when he let out the most outrageous and sickening coughs.
Everyone was watching with confusion and horror as he keeled over dead and the nurse and doctors claimed around three days later, that it was none other than poison that killed him.
A/N: *I have my reasons for this date; as an Astrologer, I feel Jack fits the traits of Pisces, specifically 2nd decan. Reasons? He is someone who takes all aspects of life, negative and positive. He is calm and kind yet sensitive, suspicious and indecisive. Can be selfless to the point of self sacrifice (his sister) and yet able to help redeem others and give them hope. This date also specifies someone as being rather childish and being good with children, which is a bonus! If any of you are curious about astrology, PM me! I've been studying it for a while. If it's not your cup of tea, sorry about my little ramble!
Little bit shorter this one but oh my, what a surprise, what IS going on, I wonder! Looks like this just turned into a mystery. Little bit of sexy time to sedate you all.

To slyangelfox: Hugh Jackman, oh my god, just, oh my god. I looked for the books, actually on my kindle (I know, I know, not a real book) but only as I have failed to find them in any stores, as in your situation, if I find a place to get them (the actual books) I will tell you, but for the most part, I look up specific events online to base off. Your hatred of Hog is amusing and empowering, thank you, and maybe things will look up for Pitch? Thanks again for the review!
