Chapter Text
It hurt.
Oh MiM it hurt.
Why did he have to say those things? Those hurting, burning twisting words that tore at his very core with a vengeance that almost didn't seem natural.
He had gone to confess to Aster, to tell the Pooka how he truly felt, only to be rebuked in the worst possible way. "Yer nothing but an annoyance"Jack's already precarious flight patterns failed him completely,causing the pain filled boy to drop from the sky

He tilted his head back so that the tears didn't fall; he was determined. He would not cry over E. Aster Bunnymund. Not now, not ever.
Laying on his side with a shaky sigh, Jack furiously scrubbed at his face in order to remove the tears from his eyes. He wasn't worth crying over but if that was the case then why did his refusal hurt so much?

With a sigh he curled up, wincing at the pain coming from his knees as he murmured "Sometimes I just wish I would disappear.."
