Rapid blinks keep the tears at bay, at least for the moment. They cloud his vision, making the Pooka appear even fluffier than usual. A whirlwind of emotions ricochet around his chest like a flock of birds taking flight. Never, in three hundred years, did Jack ever think he’d get praise like that. And from Bunny no less, his complete opposite. If someone had told him this before he became a Guardian, he would have laughed in their face.
But now, here they were, and Jack couldn’t bring himself to wipe the smile off his face. It wasn’t his usual impish grin or smirk. This expression of happiness was entirely pure and innocent. Words failed him. All he could do was rub his eyes with the back of his sleeve and pray Bunny hadn’t noticed the few tears that actually escaped down his cheeks.
“Dunno what to say. I just…”
Jack looked up, eyes shining. He sniffed then laughed out loud. “You’re the last person I expected to hear that from and it feels… It feels good.”
