Authors Note: So guys, this is my first crossover with the movies Rise of the Guardians and How To Train Your Dragon. It was inspired by the awesome video of the same name on youtube made by Resave. This is an AU story, so there is no Jamie. Rise of the Guardians takes place in between the two How To Train Your Dragon Movies.

Summary: Not much to say without giving too much away. Hiccup meets a certain winter spirit that reminds him of his dead friend.


Pain Without Love

Prologue: Missing You

A young boy, teen about 14 years old, stands by a pond in the cove of a forest, just outside the small village of Berk. He stares down at the pond. The bangs of his auburn hair covering his eyes to hide the tears threatening to fall. His dragon a black Night Fury, stares at his rider sadly. The dragon nudges the boy, concern clearly shown in his eyes.

The puts a hand on the dragon's nose. "I'm ok bud." He said. "I'm just thinking about an old friend." The dragon tilts his head and blinks. The boy wiped his eyes before giving his dragon a weak smile. "I never told you about Jack have I Toothless?" The dragon, now known as Toothless, shakes his head. "Well Jack was my first true friend and always stood by me, even when the others started making fun of me." The boy gives a small chuckle. "He always knew what to say to cheer me up, but then a couple years ago…" he stopped talking thinking about that the, the day he lost his best friend.

*Flashback 2 years earlier*

"Are you sure this is a good idea Jack?" a young boy of twelve asked. His green eyes staring at his friend, as he was getting ready to step on the ice. Jack turned to look at his friend grinning. "Come on Hic there's nothing to worry about. Besides you said you wanted to learn how too skate right?" Hiccup glanced down at the ice before looking back at Jack. Sure he wanted to know, but the ice didn't seem thick enough to walk on.

Jack grabs onto Hiccup's hand and smiles "Trust me." Hiccup glances back at Jack and give a small nod. Jack started to walk towards the middle of the frozen pond and turns to look back at Hiccup. "See nothing to worry about Hic." Hiccup looks at Jack before slowly stepping onto the ice. After taking a couple of steps Hiccup hears a little cracking sound. He looks down and his eyes widen. "J-Jack" he whimpers.

Jack looks down seeing the ice starting to crack under his friend's feet. His eyes widen, fear clearly shown. "I-I told you the ice was to thin Jack." Hiccup whimpered. Jack looks down at his staff that lays by his feet, an idea coming to him. "Everything is going to be alright Hic." Jack starts to panic on the inside when the cracking got worse when Hiccup moved his feet a little.

Hiccup looks at Jack tears swelling up. "H-how can you be so sure?" Jack gave him a small grin. "Have I ever lied to you Hic?" Hiccup whined. "Yes plenty of times!" Jack's expression soon turned serious. 'Well not this time, believe in me." Hiccup gives a small nod and watches Jack slowly reach for his staff. "J-Jack?" Jack's hand clutches onto his staff and he looks at Hiccup. "It's ok Hiccup, we're going to play a game instead." Hiccup tilts his head the cracking ice momentarily forgotten. Jack stands up, staff now in his hands. Jack jumps across the ice, with the ice cracking little by little with each jump.

Hiccup giggles a bit watching Jack. He slips a little when his feet moved, fear now back. Jack gets closer to Hiccup. "Ok Hic, I'm going to get you out of here." Hiccup whimpers when he heard more cracking. Jack maneuvers his staff behind Hiccup's legs, seeing the cracking getting worse. When the cracks started to move towards him, he immediately tosses Hiccup back onto the grass with his staff, grinning that his friend was safe.

Hiccup looks at Jack smiling, but his eyes widen again. Jack sees Hiccup stare at him with fear. Before he could do anything however, the ice completely cracked under the weight and Jack fell through. "Jack!" Hiccup yelled out. Hiccup ran to the edge of the pond calling out Jack's name before falling to his knees sobbing.

*End Flashback*

Tears streamed down Hiccup's cheeks. He turned to look at his dragon, hugging him tightly. Toothless nuzzles Hiccup; his ears soon perk up hearing a voice. "Hiccup?" a girl's voice called out. Hiccup wiped his tears turning to the person that called him. "Hello Astrid." He said quietly. Astrid sighed seeing Hiccup's eyes red from crying. "Come on Hiccup, it's been two years. You shouldn't be so upset, Jack wouldn't want this." Hiccup sniffled. "You're right." Astrid grins and playfully punches him in the shoulder. "Of course I'm right." She said. "Now let's go, everyone is waiting." Hiccup gives her a small smile. He turns back to give one last look at the pond before following Astrid back to Berk.
