BUNNYMUNDxFEM!Human reader

A.k.a. -The Easter Adventure-

Summary: after falling asleep, reader randomly finds herself waking up in the realm of Easter and it’s grumpy Guardian who’s not at all excited to have a human strolling around three weeks before his favorite holiday

WARNINGS: a bit of swearing, and the reader almost falling to her death (dw she’s fine tho)

Part two

Finding your original spot was surprisingly easy.

Although the nature didn’t really differ, you didn’t drift far from it in the first place, and the grass was visibly flat on a small patch where you’d undoubtedly been previously laying.

Curling back up, you closed your eyes, intent on finding your long lost bed and pillows. You didn’t know how many minutes had passed. The sounds of the nature had lulled you, steering your thoughts back into a calmer flow, but despite everything, you just couldn’t fall asleep.

After a while, your patience simply ran out and you hopped back on your feet.

The famous case of not being able to wake up in a dream. It’s not uncanny, and although everything else here was, maybe you just had to wander for a bit longer.

Despite everything, curiosity got the better of you: while you’re still here, you could explore a little right?

It’s not like you’re waking up anytime soon, and this place seemed like the kind you wouldn’t ever get to see again if you left it. With more careful steps this time (in order not to run into the bunny) you wandered down the path you’d previously seen the eggs disappear on.

It led you to a river, surrounded by lush trees and a huge, black hole that most likely was the beginning to a mysterious cave. Merely glancing at yourself in the water reminded you how you actually were just asleep: your black waves were in a mess, brown eyes wide and your green silk pajamas totally creased.

Well, now it’s a little more understandable why that bunny didn’t want to take you seriously.

You quickly washed your face, and evened your hair out a little, before another idea popped into your mind: if you couldn’t wake up by yourself, why not choose somebody else to do it?

People usually didn’t die in dreams, so all you had to do was find something threatening enough to send you back. As if Lady Luck had listened to you, the familiar thumping noise sounded yet again, this time coming from the cave: the eggs.

Right. With quick movements, you rushed on the top of a nearby rock that rose from between the lush hills like some old, creaky maiden, and seemed wide enough to hide you until it was time to take action.

Just a few moments later, two of the egg statues appeared from the darkness, leading a crowd of the small white ones towards the flow, which was… now purple?

You took a second glance just to make sure but your eyes didn’t betray you. What you’d previously thought was the river now seemed much more like a big abundance of purple paint. The small creatures hopped into it, one by one, cascading down with the flow.

You peeked out from your cover to see a little more, but you weren’t careful enough: out of nowhere your feet slipped, and the next moment you were falling towards the ground with a loud scream.

You’re gonna wake up, you’re gonna wake up, it’s…

just then, as you narrowed in towards one of the statues, a sudden force hit you from the side, and the next moment you were back on the hill, in the arms of the very same bunny.

How wonderful.

He sneered down at you, his green eyes falling into an agitated frown.

-What the hell were you thinking?! What happened to falling back asleep?

-I was trying to wake up!-you retorted, huffing as you crossed your arms. Even though you were clearly in trouble, you were occupied by the sudden realization of how soft his fur was, or that he still was still holding you in his arms.

-No, you were trying and quite succeeding to die!-he spat back, in a tone very much unlike a Guardian Spirit- is that your best method for not making me worried?

-Worried? Just why on earth would you be worried?-you quirked a brow, a little skeptical, as he placed you back onto the grass. At last.

-Because, North’s gonna have my head if he finds out I had a human killed-he groaned, as if stating the obvious. Maybe, it could’ve even affected you if he wasn’t threatening you with Santa Claus. You chuckled.

-Right. Is he gonna suffocate you with hugs or send Krampus to steal the eggs?-you mused, to which his ears twitched a little and he frowned.

-Probably both. Don’t even mention it, I’ve had enough of him last year.

You were expecting another snarky comeback, so it’s enough to say you were quite surprised when he didn’t deny any of your accusations.

-You’re really expecting me to believe this, aren’t you?

He huffed as he crossed his arms, and stared down on you with unmasked irony.

-No, I’m expecting you to get gone, but you’re clearly unable to do that.

How can the symbol of kindness even be this much of an asshole? For a bunny he was all too intimidating, not to mention the muscles and tall stature, which you tried not to notice too much while talking back to him.

-Help me then-to his questioning glance you continued-I’m clearly not getting out of here on my own, and you’re eager to chase me away. Collaboration would be beneficial for the both of us.

-Alright alright-he finally groaned, and took a step closer-but I’m telling you now, if ya cause any more trouble, I might accidentally throw you off a cliff on the way.

Ohh the moron. You sneered, holding your head high but you didn’t snap back this time. The sooner you get out of here, the better.

-On the way..? To where?

Bunny chuckled, stepping even closer as he tapped his foot slightly on the ground.

-Buckle up Sweetpea, we’re going to the North pole.

You didn’t have time to react, (or scold him for the nickname for that matter). The earth suddenly disappeared from below you, and the next moment you were already in his arms, spiraling in a dark tunnel towards God knows where.

——

When you finally woke up, you felt like you had no voice, or muscles left. You couldn’t exactly pinpoint how long you’d been falling, but it was definitely longer than your human brain should bear, and it also felt like it was against gravity.

You almost forgot you weren’t alone in the travel while trying to collect yourself, but of course, your guide was kind enough to remind you of the fact.

-Khm. Not to disturb, or anything, but ya could let go of me anytime now. You’re choking the air out of my lungs.

Your eyes shot open, surprisingly close to his green ones. For a second, your breath hitched and his nose furrowed. The next, you were already on the ground, furiously tucking a strand of black hair behind your ear.

-That’s only because you dragged me through half of the world in a goddamn tunnel. I thought we’re going to die!-you retorted, a bit flustered.

-It’s lucky you’re not the one navigating then-he grinned devilishly.

You rolled your eyes, but ignored his comment.

Only now did you take the time to examine the place he brought you to: it was a beautiful, spacious room decorated with intricately carved wood, and red carpets, with a giant glowing Globe (yeah an actual one) in the middle. The whole space was brightly lit thanks to the panorama windows that were installed instead of a roof, and you noticed the faint scent of gingerbread in the air along with some cheesy caroling song that people mostly did around Christmas.

Just as you turned to ask Bunny about it though, a deep, booming voice sprang from above your head in a strong, Northern accent.

-Ahh Bunny! You have problem again, eh?

Whipping your head around, your mouth actually fell agape this time. Thumping down the stairs was a huge, broad man with black boots, a red sweather, and a long white beard, looking very much like Santa Claus. -What the actual hell..

The old guy, who was probably also the owner of the place, caught up to Bunny, shoving him rightheartedly on the back, which almost sent the Easter Guardian flying flat on his ass.

-It’s nice to see you too North-he muttered, obviously thinking the opposite, and you chuckled to yourself.

-Yes yes, well, it is always nice around here, not like in Big Cave of yours-Santadupe chuckled proudly. As he got closer, you noticed he had a light shade of icy blue eyes, and tattoos down both of his bulky arms.

Bunny rolled his eyes, muttering something, but you didn’t have time to listen as the stranger turned around, and his curious eyes landed on you.

-Who is that? You bring guest?

-A guest? God no-Bunny huffed, hopping a little closer before you could introduce yourself-that’s the problem I came here for in the first place.

-I am Lainey Davis, and I’d appreciate it if you told me who you are. And what even is this place?-you stepped up, glaring at the Easter Guardian.

North chuckled, eyeing you curiously as he nodded.

-Of course. I am North, but you can call me Santa Claus. Bunny you know obviously-he explained, gesturing towards the shorter animal who was tapping his feet impatiently on the floor.

-Obviously-you muttered, but it went unnoticed by the big guy who carried on with the mighty introduction-welcome to North Pole!

Right. Not this again.

-I.. uhm thanks, but I’m pretty sure i’m still dreaming-you retorted, with a small uncomfortable smile. North narrowed his eyes, glancing back at Bunny.

-What happened to you two?

-She happened-he huffed, rising back on his feet-she just burst into The Warren out of nowhere. It’s three weeks till Easter, how do you expect me to finish all the work with a random human wondering around?

-Excuse me, I never asked to get here, and then to be dragged across half the globe just to meet Santa Claus!-you retorted stomping your foot a little to gain their attention-you guys are pretty intense for a dream.

To another questioning glance from North, Bunny rolled his eyes.

-Oh yeah, did I mention she’s pretty convinced this is all just a dream?

The old man chuckled, startling you a little as he walked in big steps towards the globe, and gestured for you to follow.

-Well Lainey-he asked in a mysterious tone-do you believe?

You stared back at him a little dumbfounded: to them that may have been a practical question , but to a teenager barely out of high school it didn’t have much of a meaning.

-I uh.. in what?

-In dreams, of course. In legends, in fairy tales, in us!-North chuckled, eyeing you a little nostalgically- I remember you asked for whole new set of parents when you were little. Why did you stop writing letters?

Your eyes went wide in mere seconds, and you gulped. How on earth did he even know that?

-You uh.. didn’t bring them I guess-you muttered.

You noticed Bunny, who was currently painting a small egg with a brush in his hands, eyeing you curiously. When did he even get those?

Luckily, North wasn’t waiting for any kind of answer as he turned to the huge globe, gesturing to the small, glowing lights that you mistook for decorations earlier.

-See all the lights? They are children all around the world, who believe. Our purpose is to protect them, and bring joy each year-he explained-Only those who believe, can see us.

-Right, but If I don’t believe in you guys, what am I doing here?

-That is what I think about-North nodded thoughtfully-there is reason you are here.

-Right, well whatever that reason is, I don’t have time for it at the moment-Bunny interrupted, direct as ever-North, could you tell us how to get her back?

The old guy ran his fingers along the long white beard, humming thoughtfully.

-We ask Man in Moon. He knows all.

The Man in.. what?

-I uh.. There’s really no need to make a fuss about this, I think I’d rather go home-you interrupted a little worried, but none of them paid much attention.

-The Man in the Moon?-Bunny retorted in an exasperated tone-the last time he addressed us was when he decided to choose Jack, of all people, for a Guardian. What makes you think he decides to do something this time?

You would’ve had several questions about that statement, but now was not the time.

-We do not know unless we try-the old man shrugged.

Bunny groaned, running his fingers along his ears. A habit, you noticed, he did often when he was frustrated.

-Mate, I’ve still got ten million eggs to paint, I really don’t have time for this. If you had to deal with this three weeks before Christmas…

-Please Bunny, Easter is not Christmas-North grinned, patting him on the cheek as someone would with their grandchild, while he stole the egg from his hands. The gesture caught the tough guy completely off guard, and it made you chuckle a little as well.

-Chh, here we go-Bunny groaned, hopping off to retrieve the stolen property-careful mate, i’m dealing with perishables here.

You cleared your throat, trying to draw attention to yourself, clearly without any luck. In the corner you noticed wide blue eyes peaking up at you from what mostly looked like.. an elf? Right, you’ve got to get out of this place asap.

-No matter how much you paint it, they’re still eggs-North shrugged, but let him get the egg back which, you noticed, had small intricate blue patterns on it by now. When did he even have time to do all that?

-Well you’ve got a whole year to prepare!

-Guys..-you tried again.

-Why are bunnies always so nervous?-the old man spat back, sighing to himself which of course led to further arguing.

-Why are you such a blowhard?-the Guardian retorted, swinging the small brush towards him as if to threaten him with a finger.

-GUYS!

They stopped abruptly, glancing at you as if they forgot you were here at all.

-Excuse me miss, can you not see we’re trying to argue?-North quirked a brow, but you waved him off.

-Since you’re arguing about my destiny, I’d rather think you should all just shut up and listen for a moment-you glared, earning a clearly surprised glance from Bunny-look. I don’t know who this man on the moon is, but he’s in no place to decide what I do with my life.

-Well actually..-Bunny started but you cut him off with a glare.

-Not a word, tough guy-the Guardian’s mouth fell slightly agape this time, and North chuckled at his antics-Since currently none of you are able to take me home, I suggest we do it after this whole Holiday frenzy is over. Until then, I could stick around, and help you paint the eggs.

This is all just a dream anyway. And if it is, no time will pass in the real world while you actually have some here, to explore Easter Egg Land, even if it is in such… questionable company.

-I think that is splendid idea!-North exclaimed with an excited gleam in his eyes. Bunny, on the other hand seemed like he’d explode in any moment.

-That is the worst idea I’ve ever heard. What makes you think you can even..

-I’m good at painting. I’ve sold pictures before, and I wanna be an artist-you interrupted him, stepping closer to make a point. His height didn’t really help matters though-either this, or we spend eternity here, trying to figure something out. That’ll be lost time for the both of you.

North, who was already walking towards the other end of the room didn’t notice any of the tension slowly rising around the two of you.

-This is such interesting topic! Bunny with an assistant! I have to go tell the others…

-Me with a.. what? Do not say that!-the Guardian shot after him, but the old guy was already too far to hear. Upon realizing that he turned back to you, anger fuming in his green eyes as he took another step in your direction.

-I don’t like anything about this-he growled in a low, threatening voice.

-Join the club then-you retorted defiantly-i think you’ve got more than enough things to worry about by now, tough guy.

-Do not call me that.

-Why? You were first to call names-even though your heart was pounding in your ears, you did not back up-as much as it pains me to say, I think it’d make things easier if you just let me help.

He quirked one of his dark brows, clearly skeptical.

-By letting you ruin all the work I’ve done?

-By letting me do the work i know-you said, emphasizing the last part- It might seem uncanny for a grand artist like you, but there are people in other parts of the world who also know a little about painting.

He stared at you silently for a few beats before he finally sighed, giving in.

-Fine. But if..

-Yes yes I know, you have me several painful deaths stored, thanks. It’s appreciated.

He quirked a brow, and a small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as leaned down to lift you in his arms.

-Where did you even learn to talk like that?

-I could name a few places-you grinned, curling in a swift ball to at least try and detach some of the anxiousness as you ignored the fast rhythm of your heart from the close proximity-but I have a feeling you aren’t going to like them, tough guy.

He chuckled, but didn’t say anything else before he patted his foot on the ground. The next moment you were surrounded by darkness again, descending into the pit of the earth so that, hopefully, a few moments later you could rise again in Easter Egg Land.
