I am so, so, so, so, so,so sorry that I haven't updated for like a week. I have been sick and when I get sick, I can never seem to write well. I am very sorry and I hope you can all forgive me

Here is a late Valentine's Day to my darling readers and fans. I adore you all so much. Warning: This chapter is also extremely cheesy but I'm hopeless romantic. I just love love. Anyways, if you recognize the title, this is one of the most famous love songs done by the king of rock, Elvis. If you haven't heard it, for shame. :)

With love,

Root Beer Baby


Wise men said, "Only fools rush in"
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Valentine's Day had rolled around once more and as usually Cupid was throwing another party. And as usual, Bunnymund was dragged to the social gathering against his will. He wasn't that he didn't like spending time with his fellow guardians but parties really weren't his thing. He didn't know why, he just wasn't really into the whole party scene.

That and Valentine Day's made him feel lonely. Not only was he busy but he was the last Pooka which meant no females. Yeah, there were other potential mates but he felt scared of approaching them and being shot down. Not to mention he found the holiday to be bit to commercial. Of course, he didn't want to tell Cupid that.

So here he was at Cupid's ruby red palace, standing in the corner. He watched as North stole a kiss from Mother Nature who giggled and blushed; Sandy was surrounded by millions of Cupid's female helpers who found him adorable; Jack was on the dance floor with Mother Goose who seemed to be having a ball. At least they were having fun. Maybe he would be able to sneak off without anyone noticing.

"Aster?"

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Bunnymund looked around. Floating beside him was Tooth. She was wearing a resplendent Indian sari of yellows, pinks and oranges. She had bejeweled herself in exquisite gold jewelry around her neck, on her ears and her fingers. For the first time in eons, the Easter Bunny felt himself turning red. Had Tooth always looked this beautiful?

"Why aren't you dancing?" She asked, cocking her head slightly.

Oh why did she do that? It was so adorable! He would never her tell her that though.

"I…um…" He coughed and scratched his head. "I'm not much of a dancer."

She giggled. Gosh, Tooth was so adorable. Why did he feel like he couldn't breathe? And had it gotten hotter in here?

"It's not that hard," She said, landing next to him. "C'mon."

"Huh?"

"Dance," She smiled again. "With me."

Say no, say no, say no! You cannot dance! You have two left feet. You'll make a fool of yourself. Just say no and maybe she'll...

"Okay."

Damnit.

Tooth grabbed his paw and Bunny gulped. She pulled him onto the dance floor, unaware that Bunny was nervous.

"Okay, now place your hand on my waist."

"Um, okay."

Bunny gulped again before putting his paw on the delicate fairy's waist. The whole time, Tooth was smiling at him with that warm smile of hers. He watched as she took his hands in his and placed her other hand on his shoulder.

"Now normally, the man leads I'll start out okay?" Tooth said. Bunny merely nodded. "Okay, ready?"

Once again, Bunny could only nod. Slowly, they started to turn. The whole time, he kept his eyes on Tooth. She still smiled at him, dazzling him with her utter brilliance. Slowly, he became more relaxed. Being around Tooth seemed to do that to him. Out of all of the guardians, he enjoyed spending time with her the most. Maybe it was because she was so laid back and opened minded. Bunny knew he could tell her anything.

Well, almost anything.

After all these years of knowing Tooth, Bunny had slowly come to the realization he was falling in love with her. After the complete annihilation of his race, he had sworn off love thinking that he could never find love again. But when he first met Tooth, something had happened. It was like a little spark had gone off in his heart. She was so caring, warm and bubbly; when she laughed, he laughed too. Being with Tooth felt right. The cares of the world seemed to disappear whenever he spent time with her.

The music continued but Bunny didn't pay attention to it. He was to wrapped up in Tooth. He watched as she laid her head on his chest. Gosh, being so close to her was so exciting but unbearable at the same time. He wanted to tell her so badly how he felt. Yes, the fear of rejection was there but he could bear it. It would be hard but he knew he would regret not telling her.

"Tooth?" He asked suddenly.

"Yes Aster?" Tooth asked, using his middle name.

"Can I talk to you outside?"

The two of them headed out towards the garden. The only light came from the moon. Bunny silently asked for luck from the Man before following Tooth who was looking at a rose bush. Even in the moonlight, she looked beautiful. The flutters returned but Bunny refused to turn back now. He exhaled before speaking.

"Tooth, I...have something really important to tell ya."

"What is it Aster?"

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

"I...well...I..." Bunny gulped. "I love you."

Tooth was silent. She merely stared at here. Bunny mentally cursed at himself; he had blown it! He knew this had been a bad idea. Maybe he should just leave the party. Well, he wouldn't be able to show his face for a while. He might even has to cancel Easter since was so...

"Say it again."

"What?"

"Say it again." Tooth said.

"I love you?"

"Again." She floated towards him.

"I love you?" Bunny started to smile.

"And again!" Tooth wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you."

"Again!"

"I love you!"

"Once more!"

"I love you!"

Tooth squealed and kissed him. Bunny smiled as he kissed her back. When he pulled back, Tooth was grinning ear to ear.

"Aster, I've waited for you to say those words," She gushed. "I never thought a day like this would come! My dreams have come true."

"Wait, does that mean..."

"Yeah, I love you too."

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

At that moment, Bunny took back all the horrible things he had ever said about Valentine's Day. He loved this holiday.
