Bunnymund + short love interest headcanons
Happy early Valentine’s day Nonnie! Here are those hcs you requested, hoping they'll do :)

First off, if this was happening during the war against Pitch, he’d probably feel better if you stayed in the Warren, or by his side. He knows you can take care of yourself, you had saved his tail from quite the number of dogs before, but one can’t be too cautious, right? That being said, he’d be alright if the “safe-house” was any of the Guardians places, but he’d prefer if it was his Warren. Now, why bring this up? Because it’s HOW you get to the Warren. He’s totally against the sleigh, it’s in the open, it’s dangerous, traveling in the tunnels is just safer to him. So you bet, if you were shorter, piggybacking would be common to get through the tunnels.
Out of the other Guardians, he’d be the least likely to tease you about your height. After all, the majority of the beings he works with are on the shorter side, so he’s indifferent to it. He’d still find it endearing if you were shorter, gives him more opportunities to be there for you if you were ever in need.
The first time you came to the Warren, you for sure followed some stray eggs leading to a meadow. Laying in flowers is nice, Bunny gets that, but losing sight of you in a big field of them? He’s gonna get a heart attack if you pull that again.
You’re short, so you’ve got little legs. The one thing he teases you about is that you’ve got to take more steps than him. But he is happy he’s still faster, of course, he would probably slow down to let you keep up with him. Or it just means more piggybacking.
He, of course, wants to have more time to bond with you so he asks you to help him hide eggs. He’ll reach the higher areas, and you could cover most of the ground with them. He’d do his best to make you feel like your height doesn’t stop you from doing anything because it wouldn't, not to him at least. So heck, if you wanted to hide eggs in trees he’d help you.
Seeing as he gives people he’s closer to nicknames, if you were shorter and, presumably a bit more rambunctious, he’d probably call you ankle-biter like Sophie. As a term of endearment but also a bit more in the teasing sense. It’s a fitting nickname for someone like you, sure you are shorter, but that does NOT mean he could let his guard down. He’s definitely learnt from past mistakes.
If he asked you to help hide eggs the night before, he would also like to ask you to help greet the children, or just look after them, on the morning of. But unlike most people, because to him, you are on the cuter side, you’re more approachable. No matter what you wore he’d be convinced the children would love to be around you, just as he does.

So here we are again, my friend and I are rewatching the movie. For reference, I found it helpful to compare it to what he does differently with Tooth, seeing as he is close with her and she is also on the smaller side, if that makes sense. Honestly, it turned out better than I thought, this wasn’t an easy request since for myself personally, I like to make things both a bit different, but realistic. As I’m sure you can imagine, short love interest hcs are very common, so I really tried to think outside the box on this.
