What Keeps You Warm (Frostbunny)

Chapter Three

Okay, so I'm having problems with parts of the story...

It's just... You know what? I'm not giving any hints. Spoilers are not allowed.

Enjoy. ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jack's POV:

"Jacky, are you feeling better, buddy?" I hear someone ask. They sounded far away, like something was blocking me from them. I couldn't quite make out who they were, either.

I coughed. "W-Where's Bunny?" I mumbled, my words coming out jumbled. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. I was too tired.

"I'm right here, Jacky. It's okay." I could barely hear him, but he sounded worried.

"What happened?" I croaked; my throat felt dry, like I hadn't used it in a while. "Is someone hurt? Is-" I couldn't finish; I started coughing uncontrollably.

"Go ahead and rest now. I'll be here when you wake up. I promise..." He whispered. I could've sworn he said something else, but even if he did, I wouldn't have understood it. I was already back asleep. I was just so tired...

Aster's POV:

He looked so fragile.

He hadn't moved from the spot where we first put him since he woke up three days ago.. It's hard to think that he's been there for a week. After he fell back asleep he stopped breathing. North and two of the yetis had to pull me out of the room because I had gone into hysterics.

It was my entire fault and I knew it. Everyone keeps telling me otherwise, but I know better.

I need to get some fresh air, I thought as I opened a portal in front of me. Just before I stepped in, I heard my name.

"Bunny, I think you might want to come in here..." Tooth said hesitantly. She must have thought I was ready to explode again.

I turned and followed her into the room Jack was unconscious in.

"Are you bringing me in here just to torcher m-" I stopped midsentence.

"H-Hey Bunny, did you miss me?" Jack whispered hoarsely. My mouth hung open as I tried to form a coherent sentence. Tears flooded down my face.

"Y-You're alive!" I exclaimed, overjoyed. I couldn't believe it.

He chuckled quietly as I made my way over to his bedside.

"You're very enthusiastic today." He whispered with a smile.

Tooth handed him a glass of water. "I'll leave you two to yourselves." She said, giving Jack a knowing wink and exiting the room. A spark of jealously rose in me but it was put out when Jack began to speak again.

"I missed you, Bunny." He said quietly, as if he hoped I wouldn't hear.

"I missed you too, Jacky." I whispered. I leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. "Get some rest." I squeezed his hand once then got up to leave, but he held onto my hand.

"Stay, please. At least until I fall asleep." He said as he looked up at me.

I smiled at him; he looked so frail, so breakable. I couldn't just leave him there. The eggs can wait a little longer to get painted.

"I'll be here when you wake up." I told him as I pulled up a chair beside his bed and tried to sleep.

(Goodnight, 'Bunny'...)

The voice in my head cackled.

I settled into a restless sleep, full of bad memories that were never meant to be revisited.

Hey!!

Long time no update, huh?

I am truly sorry for that, and I know this chapter is shorter than Frank Iero but I thought that I should give you lovely readers an update since you've been so nice, helpful and loving.

Thank you for your support. I may be able to finish this book, but I need to fix some things in the plot first.

If you want to read some more things that I've written, go to my works. I have a new book that I'm writing and I would love your opinion on it. The part that's up is a sneak peek.

Thank you SO, SO much.

I love you guys bunches.

Thanks for putting up with me and my crap.
