Baby teeth talking

*Baby tooth talking*

"Regular speech"

'Thoughts'

Bunny wasn't nervous, no, he was terrified! After what happened at Jack's lake he's been stressing on what to do with what happened. Sure Jack had kissed him back, but that was probably just the heat of the moment. Then he started to avoid him, thinking Jack wouldn't want to speak to him. Then three weeks later Bunny found him in his kitchen washing dishes. After that Jack kept comin by, cleaning his burrow and even cooking him meals! (Never had such great carrot soup, ever.) But, but… 'That's why I'm here.' Bunny thought to himself. 'To try to make heads or tails of this.'

He had come here to the pole for advice, and he was sure he was going to regret it.

"Oi, north. Where are ya, ya bloody drongo?" looking around I couldn't see where he was. All the yetis and elves were in the bloody way, I huffed.

"Ah bunny, vat brings you here?" North said from behind me making me jump. I turned and glared

"Crikey North warn a bunny will ya?" I said, not a bit of heat in the jab.

"Haha sorry old friend. So, again, vat brings you here bunny? Trouble with eggs? Ah to finally admit Christmas better that Easter!" he said in that annoying smug tone.

"Feh wrong, on both accounts mate. Easter is always better." I said feeling a little better. North always knew how to lighten a mood.

"Ha right, right whatever you say bunny. But here is not good place for talk. Come, we go to work room."

Once we entered North's work room I noticed a few new toy's sitting on his desk. The room was a mess! Ice and tools everywhere. Blue prints littering the floor, it was madness, I was finally able to find a mostly cleaned off chair. Nick handed me a cup of tea.

"Fruit cake?" north asked

"Ah, thank you no." Is that the same one from Easter? I shuddered.

"So, old friend, vat brings you here?" I stared down at my cup. How was I going to bring this up? I took a sip of my tea…

"Ah maybe, here to talk about certain white hared youth?"

...and spit it right back out. I coughed trying to get the tea out of my lungs. Nick just stood there with a smug smile on his lips.

"Ho-how did ya know?" Was I really that obvious?

"Ah my friend even I am not that oblivious. I have seen the way you look at the boy. With such caring and tenderness. So much longing. So vat's the problem?"

"What's the problem? North I have more temper in me then good sense, I am constantly yelling at him, we get into more blues in one week than I have with any of you in an entire year. And in case you haven't noticed I am a walking, talking RABBIT! Why would he even look at me like that? What could he possibly see in me?" I said catching my breath after my rant.

North sighs and walked over to a cabinet, when he came back he poured a dollop of what I assumed to be 40 prove liquor into my tea. I looked at him gratefully, taking a nice swallow. Trust north to have something to smooth along a practically stalled conversation.

"What could he possibly see in me north, what could I offer him?" I said dejectedly.

"First let's start at the beginning. What brought this on in the first place?"

I took another calming sip of my tea, "A week ago, frosty came down to the warren and asked if he could help me make some chocolate. I said he could as long as he didn't mess with anything." I started chuckling

"You should have seen his face north, his smile was so wide I thought it would split his face." I stopped laughing "But then, he grabbed a pot that I had just finished, it had taken me three days to get it just right, he dropped it all over the floor. It had been still hot. But I didn't care, I didn't even check to see how badly he was burnt. I just started yelling and screaming telling him to get out. I didn't even give him a chance to apologies." I said with my head in my hands.

"I'm a right arse."

North takes a big swig of his drink "Ah bunny, s'not as bad as all that. Yes you have mighty temper, but from what I see, Jack never really takes it to heart."

Well, yeah, now that he mentions it. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Bunny you have been alone for a long time, a mate, kits these things were lost before they were even had. Left very large angry wound on your heart. But maybe Jack can help finally stitch and heal this wound, give you the love and care you deserve. You know Jack has a heart too big for his chest. But bunny, he also has wounds and scares form a world that just wouldn't let him be. Maybe you both can help heal each other."

I was quiet for a while, what could I say after that. Could I really be there for Jack?

"However, my friend I do not think that was the end of your tail. What happened after?"

I sighed.

"After I was done cleaning up I started feeling bad. So I went to go find him, you know to apologies. I found him at his lake, he was singing. And I'm telling you north I had never heard a more beautiful voice, just a hint of country twang, it was beautiful. I just sat there listening for, what felt like hours. And I told him as much, did you know he blushed frost?"

North chuckled.

"We got to talking and …"

North looked intrigued. "And?"

And I kissed him north! I expected him to yell, scream, hit me even but…"

"But?" North was on the edge of his seat.

But then he kissed me back. And now I know why he loves flying so much, North, because I felt high as a kite and didn't want to come down."

North was properly laughing now.

"And after that he started coming around the warren. Helping me with my garden, cooking me meals and what have you. And I swear he's circling me."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those courting habits?" North asked.

"Yeah and It's driving me up the bloody wall. And, and I think it's worked, I think I've fallen in love with him."

"поздравления" North yells nockin me clear out of my seat. "I am so happy for you Bunny. You must now go and tell him, yes?

"I don't know North, what if I'm takin this all wrong? We've only just started to truly get along, I don't want to jeopardize anything."

"нелепо, you worry too much old friend."

"Buy what if…"

"No, no buts," North said placing a hand back on my shoulder. "You are my friend Bunny and Jack is like a son to me. You both have been through so much and will be good for each other. Go, show him he is loved. Court him proper.

Something switched in my brain at that last comment.

"Oh crap, I forgot about the rituals!"

North looked puzzled. "What rituals?"

"My people have, used to have these rules when it came to courting."

"Like?"

"Showing off your strengths, whether physically or in your trade. Well like giving gifts to show you can provide. That kind of stuff. You know now that I think about it, has Jack ever been given a gift before?"

"I know not, she has always been on naughty list so never from me, but you never know."

I smirked, I knew the perfect gift to give Jackie, now just have to get the materials.
