Friday 13 -FIRSTS/BEGINNINGS

first meetings, first date, first fight, beginning of the rest of their lives…

When Jack learned about his powers, he knew that things would not be boring for him. Being invisible to everyone plus the icy cold powers proved to be the perfect tools to fuel Jack's prankster ways. Frozen roadways, frozen pipelines, anything that Jack could get away with, he would freeze. The freezing was often followed by a cackle and a gust of wind as he made his getaway.

While he did enjoy pulling his pranks, sometimes he needed to continue to develop his powers. He often retreated to the woods to do so. Running his staff along the trees and the ground, he watched the ice flow and shape into different shapes and patterns. It was a perfect day for someone who was always alone. 

"Oi. Who'da ya think you are?"

Jack almost fell out of a tree when he heard a sound. He turned around to make sure that the question of who he was was intended him. His eyes widened when he saw the source of the voice, however. 

"No way..." He started as he jumped down from the tree to get a closer look. "Are you...the Easter Bunny?" Jack asked as a smile crept on his face. "I can't believe you are real." 

"Yeah, I am." The bunny responded. "Who're you?" He asked repeating his previous question. 

After examining the bunny some more, and hesitating on answering the question, Jack decided to speak. "My name is Jack Frost." He opened his mouth to say more, but decided against it. 

"So, you're really the Easter Bunny?" Jack asked again. "Can you show me where you paint your eggs?" Jack asked. Now that he knew the Easter Bunny was real, he knew that there had to be a special place where all of this happened, and he was determined to see it. 

"I don' think I want ya makin' my Warren all snowy. Not this time kid. Watch what yer doin'. It better not snow anytime near Easter, ya hear me?" Bunny answered, to which Jack rolled his eyes.

Aster had heard the same giggles from the next room over for 15 minutes now, and he didn't like it one bit. His ears lay flat in agitation, foot thumping quietly but firmly against the hardwood floor. But then, something happened that made his fur stand on end. Jack was laughing, and the stranger was laughing, and this wasn't okay no matter how he looked at it. That was the last straw. With a low, angry growl, he stood and walked into the other room to find Jack sitting at a table with a girl who was actually pretty cute. She was twirling her hair around her finger and looking at him the was Jack looked at Bunny sometimes. Aster stifled his anger for the moment and walked behind the chair Jack was sitting in, put a paw on his shoulder, and ran it down his back to clutch his side. Leaning down in the process, he did all he could to make it apparent that Jack was taken. 

"Who might this be, mm? Ya never told me ya had friends, Jackie." Bunny knew Jack would see the jealous glint in his eyes, but the girl was clearly too frightened of the huge rabbit to notice.

"O-oh, that's right," Jack stammered nervously. "This is Sasha. She's kind of like us. She makes it rain." He reached down and grabbed Bunny's paw, unable to lace their fingers together but enjoying the feeling of holding hands anyways. "I met her recently when it got too warm to snow."

Sasha gave Bunny a sheepish smile and waved slightly.

"I see," Aster rumbled. "Well, it's gettin' a mite late, snowflake. We oughta git back to the Warren fer the night. Unless ya really wanna stay here..."

"No, no, you're right," the winter spirit agreed quickly. "I'll see you around, Sasha, okay?"

"Okay," she replied, looking disappointed and clearly heartbroken. Aster smirked internally at a mission complete. 

"Let's go, then," he murmured, pecking the crown of the boy's head before tugging him along and down a rabbit hole.

Some time later, they were in the Warren, where the weather was just starting to get a little too warm for Jack's taste. He wasn't there often, as neither he nor Bunny needed much sleep, but it was enough to be uncomfortable.

"You didn't have to do that, you know," Jack sighed. "You know I wouldn't cheat on you in a million years. I was just about to tell her about you."

"Yeah, well, I'd had enough'a hearin' her giggle. That girl 'as the most annoyin' laugh," Aster grumbled, leading the way to the small, air-conditioned cabin he'd built for Jack.

After a few minutes of silence while getting ready for bed, Jack went over to Bunny, wrapped his arms around the Pooka, and murmured, "Did it really bother you that much?"

"Yeah," he muttered.

"I'm sorry..." he sighed into his fur, hugging tighter. "I would have spent more of my time with you back there if I'd known."

Bunny bit his lip, but then sighed heavily. "It's alright, mate. Just don't make me jealous too often."
