A.N: Sup. how to train your dragon 3! ikr? I'm so excited- anyway. Proper stuff.
This is 100% HIjack, but it's not set during ROTG at all and I've made super alterations to Jack... because I wanted to. He's an elemental now. Which will be explained later. Promise. also, this is set during How to Train your Dragon: Race to the Edge. The Tv show that was on Netflix. i just really liked it and wanted to make a fanfic that lowkey followed that storyline, but with Jack Frost and all the glorious alterations he brings.
When I say glorious alterations... well you'll see.
It'll be starting in Season three on the episode 'Tone deaf'. I guess parts might not make sense if you haven't seen the show... but if you have welcome to the partaaay. For those who haven't, Hiccup and the gang basically save a lot of dragons and live on a place called 'The Edge' and fight this dude called Viggo. #best summary. I recommend you watch the show.
Anyway, into the story!
Prologue
Jack flailed slightly then grabbed Hiccups top and pulled him over, crashing their lips together for a brief moment then pushing Hiccup away "I am betrothed!" he exclaimed.
A pin fell.
Jaws hit the ground.
Hiccup went bright red.
"I can't go back to Manejorn." Jack continued desperately.
"You have chosen Stoick the Vast's son, Hiccup Haddock, the heir to the throne of Berk?" Tera asked, an eyebrow raised at Hiccup who was spluttering slightly, still shell-shocked from the unexpected kiss. The whole team of dragon riders watched their leader who always had the right thing to say, stand frozen in place under the scrutiny of four elder elementals. None of them dared to do anything, not even Ruff or Tuff.
Jack nodded frantically "Yes. I'm not marrying Hestia. No way. Please, you asked me to make a choice and this is my choice."
"and he consents to this marriage?" Tera continued coolly, holding her hands behind her back, seemingly quite amused by this revelation, the three elemental elders by her side certainly having a different opinion, glaring daggers at the poor Viking boy.
Jack opened his mouth to reply for Hiccup-
.
Hiccups Monologue
Whoa -whoa whoa!
Hold up right there.
Right.
So… you're probably wondering, Hiccup how did you get in this situation? Cowering in front of four elder elementals who quite frankly could kill you by snapping their fingers, with the Elemental Frost Prince claiming that you're betrothed to him despite the fact that Vikings and Elementals usually don't mix.
Yeah… not really your average situation. A disastrous situation, you might say. And to make matters worse, this is all happening in front of the entire team. Astrid. Ruffnut. Tuffnut. Snotlout. Fishlegs. All the dragons. The only way this situation could have been more embarrassing was if he'd been on Berk instead of on The Edge. Then he'd have to deal with his dad as well.
But how did he get in this situation?
Well. That's the thing… he wasn't entirely sure how he got himself in this situation. It's a bit of a funny… long… exhausting story. A story that's not over yet. And it all started with a stick, a chicken, and a dragon. Just like how everything in Hiccup's life seems to start with a dragon.
Because to really understand this… you need to understand that this is definitely not Hiccups fault and he shouldn't be held responsible. Probably.
Also, you need to know who that irritating… impulsive… incredibly good-looking Frost Prince is. That Frost prince is the guy who picked up Hiccup's life in a ridiculously pale hand and shook it until everything avalanched into this horrible mess.
Like he said… it's a long story.
Basically, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III is actually going murder a certain Jack Frost.
.
About three months ago…
Nobody was happy with him. Which wasn't a complete surprise, all things considered. Hopefully they'd feel a little more comfortable about going to Melody island now that he'd given everybody earbuds for the dragons; that way the death song wouldn't be able to affect their dragons as much.
Either way, nobody was thrilled to be returning the baby Death song; Garff, but it was still necessary. As they flew closer they saw the amount of bones sealed in amber which only dampened their spirits further. Out of nowhere amber blasts began shooting them, taking down Fishlegs and Heather first, then Astrid and Snotlout. Then slowly, the death song took Them all down. It had concluded with them all singing to try and get the baby death song, Garff, in tune with the older dragon, which eventually worked wonders and the Death Song's flew off into the sunset.
Lovely.
Hiccup set to breaking them all out with his fire sword and they were fully intent to retreat back to the Edge and call it a day. But… fate has other plans.
"Argh- just- gotta- almost-" a foreign voice strained making Hiccup pause saddling up Toothless, his dragon also acutely aware of the new voice. As he scanned the area he noticed the noise was coming from within the cave. Huh, weird, was he hearing wrong? Surely, he would have heard if there was somebody earlier…. But then again, they had all been singing quite loudly.
"uh, guys. We might not be alone." He said, alerting the others who also stopped to listen.
"Is it another one?" Snotlout said fearfully then stiffened " I mean, that one was a piece of cake but… Hiccup we just had to be saved by a baby dragon. I say we go."
"It sounds like some chicken caught in the Death songs trap" Ruffnut stated, eyeing the cave suspiciously as well.
Tuffnut gasped "Chicken!" he exclaimed and took off at a run to the caves. Hiccup almost face palmed… for the love of… ok.
Hastily they ran after Tuffnut, Hiccup drawing his fire sword up again as a precaution just in case they were running into a trap, then as they rounded the cave corner he was alarmed to see a growing infestation of snow. Slowing his pace as he stepped on the crisp snow, he glanced around seeing the icicles hanging from the ceiling.
"uh- Tuffnut. I don't think it's a chicken." He admitted, catching Tuffnuts attention who had been chortling nonsense about Chickens. Toothless yipped in delights and began prancing in the snow, the other dragons following his lead. "Toothless, stay alert." He ordered but allowed the dragons to play a little.
"Au contraire, my one-legged friend. Chickens are remarkable creatures I would not be so hasty to deny them as the culprit here." Tuffnut brushed him off, grabbing his chin and thinking. "Sister, what say you?"
Ruffnut grunted in agreement "as my brother says, chickens are often overlooked. They could have easily done something like this. But, I'm afraid it's more likely the chicken is endangered by some foul beast." She said.
Tuffnut grabbed his helmet in alarm "oh- Odin why-!"
Hiccup rolled his eyes at their idiocy "guys- focus!"
Astrid stared around the glistening white cavern "How is this possible?" she asked, hand gliding along the ice wall "Is it a Snow-wraith? What's it doing all the way down here. This isn't its natural habitat at all."
"I don't know. But I intend to find out." he decided.
"Stupid staff- stop- argh! I hate my life." The voice said again, this time more clearly and a lot more agitatedly.
"this way, I think somebody's down here." He said, leading the way down the dark cavern with the light radiating from his sword. Eventually they found a larger room in the cave that had a hole in the roof, allowing rays of light to bleed through, illuminating the untouched snow and the scratched ice along the walls. In the center of the room was a blob of Death Song amber, coating a boy up to his upper stomach. For a second, Hiccup blinked unsurely, taking in the boy's appearance.
He wore ragged brown garbs that had seen the heat of battle recently, behind that was shockingly pale skin that almost matched his icy white hair, and he wasn't built to be a Viking like Gobber or Stoick, more like Tuffnut. His body was arched as far over the orange amber as it could psychically bend, arms straining outwards towards the ground, reaching for a stick that lay in the snow.
"Whoa- who's that?" Snotlout announced their presence loudly, causing the boy to yelp in surprise and straighten up, wide blue eyes setting on them. "Right. Shutting up. Got it." Snotlout muttered when they all shot him annoyed glanced.
"Uh- hi there." Hiccup started awkwardly, lowering his fire sword which seemed to be the pinnacle of the white-haired boys alarm. "It's ok, we're here to help. I'm Hiccup Haddock of the-"
The white-haired boy groaned in despair "oh- just my luck! Vikings!" he yelled, shoving his face into his free hands. "Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire."
"excuse me?" Snotlout drawled, unimpressed. "we're here to save you. a bit of gratitude maybe."
"yeah" Tuffnut agreed "Maybe we should just leave you to be eaten by the Death song with that attitude."
"And Garff!"
"What?" The boy dropped his hands worriedly.
"Nobody's leaving anybody." Hiccup declared, holding out his hands as a peace sign. "We're Dragon Riders from The Edge, who are you?"
"Dragon Riders?" the boy repeated in confusion then shook his head. "Look, could you just- pass me that stick and I'll be out of your hair?"
"A successful attempt to dodge the question, if I do say so myself." Ruffnut commented suspiciously.
"a successful attempt indeed dear sister." Tuffnut agreed, bounding over through the snow and investigating the boy further, getting all close in his personal space. "hm, he's almost as lanky as our stick thin leader, not dragon hunter material. Long arms, could be quite skillful in archery-"
"He could be with Viggo." Astrid said, voicing their initial thoughts.
"Viggo? Who's Viggo?" The boy blurted, swatting Tuffnut away from him with his hand "I should have listened to Tera and just stayed away from the dragon lands but nooo. Just had to look didn't I." the boy continued grumbling.
"Tera? I know that name…" Fishlegs mumbled contemplatively.
"Viggo? Dragon hunters? Ring any bells with you?" Hiccup asked.
"Does it look like it should?" the boy shot back irritably.
"well… considering we've found you in a dragon's home covered in dragon amber… it looks like the DeathSong was defending itself. But I don't see any other of Viggo's men here. Astrid… we still haven't seen a Snow-Wraith either, stay alert everybody."
"What should we do?" Astrid asked, folding her arms.
"We can't leave him here. He'll be eaten." Hiccup stated, clicking on his fire sword to cut the boy free but that seemed to scare the other who began fighting rapidly against the amber.
"Whoa- whoa- Let's not do anything hasty here I was just I the wrong place at the wrong time" the boy exclaimed, violently thrashing now, seemingly scared Hiccup was going to attack him.
Hiccup halted a little as he approached "Hey- hey- calm down I'm just going to-"He began but was cut off as something smacked him in the face sending him stumbling backwards onto his butt, the snow extinguishing the sword. His face was cold. It didn't take long to realize he'd been hit with a snowball. Grumpily he stood up and glared at his team "alright, who did that?"
They all stared back at him without a trace of guilt on their faces. The twins pointed at Snotlout "he did it!" they shouted.
Snotlout gaped "no I didn't! I was stood here watching the whole time behind you. Tuffnut is the only one who could have thrown it."
Tuffnut seemed aghast that the accusation "oh, not cool ganging up on the Tuff. I assure you I didn't throw a snowball, as hilarious as it was and as much as I wish I did. Credit has to be given where credit is due, and I'm afraid it's not due to me."
A chuckle came from the white-haired boy who was reaching for his stick again "bit cold for you Viking boy?" he mocked.
Hiccup glared slightly "You threw it?" he asked, then went back on himself "wait- no I was watching you the whole time which means it was one of you guys. We'll talk more about this when we're back. Right now, I have to cut you free before any dragons return, the flames on the sword will allow me to cut through the amber and get you out of there."
The boy stared at him "well, that explains why I couldn't get through it…"
"Psshh, you were trying to break through it?" Ruffnut laughed at him "good going, pal." She said then picked up the stick "what's so special about this, huh? Gonna try chisel your way out with it? That wouldn't work."
"NO- give it to me" he demanded, holding his hands out expectantly.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut exchanged glances "What if we like this stick?"
"it's mine- give It back!" he ordered, cheeks flustering in frustration as he tried to reach for it, being restricted by the amber.
"What's so special about it?" Tuffnut questioned "is it a magic stick? A staff- oh god, Hiccup, it's a wizard. We've found a wizard!"
"What? No, I 'm not a- just give me it!" he shouted
Hiccup shook his head "Ruff, just give him the stick already. Before he brings a dragon down on us. Now hold still as I-"
"Wait- oh Ruff Hiccup wait!" Fishlegs yelled in alarm, patting Meatlug's shoulder as he realized something.
"What?!" they all shot him expectant looks.
"Don't cut him free- don't give him the stick." He ordered and waddled over quickly, staring overjoyed and curiously at the boy "he's an elemental. By Odin's beard- I never thought I'd see one!"
The boy flushed again, pushing himself as far away from Fishlegs as possible "get your friend out of my face!" he snarled defensively.
"An elemental?" Astrid gasped wandering closer now as well.
"uh, am I the only one who doesn't know what that's supposed to be?" Snotlout asked dumbly.
Hiccup, also surprised, glanced around the room at the snow "he's from Manejord, the islands far East of us. My dad told me about them as a kid, they control elements to their bidding. Which, means it wasn't a snow-wraith at all. You were just trying to get yourself free." He theorized.
The boy sneered at him "Maybe. Maybe not."
Ruffnut poked the boy, making him jump "This guy made it snow? Yeah right."
"Or he's made of snow" Tuff countered suspiciously, then simpered under their faces of disagreement and chuckled awkwardly "or uh. Yeah, makes more sense that he made it snow"
"I didn't mean to!" the guy said defensively, finally giving in.
"So, he is an elemental!" Fishlegs squalled in delight. "I knew I recognized the name Tera- Mother Nature! The elementals call her Tera but common folk just call her Mother Nature!"
"I didn't say that!"
"Hiccup- what do we do? I've always wanted to study an elemental but I never thought I'd have the chance. Seeing one this far from their homelands is rare- never seen before. We can't just let him go!"
"and we can't keep him as a prisoner, Fishlegs. That makes us no better than Viggo." Hiccup countered disapprovingly, then turned back to the boy "what are you doing so far from Manejord?"
The boy shrugged "oh, you know. Casually getting stuck in a cave with a bunch of dragon riding Vikings."
"You got a name?" Ruffnut asked, fluttering her eyelids at him.
"If I tell you will you free me?" he asked dryly.
"sure thing." She said, fingers crossed behind her back.
"Jack Frost."
"Frost- oh Hiccup he's practically royalty!" Fishlegs exclaimed in delight "Having a last name direct to an element means he contains raw power and is possibly the strongest of his kind- ah Meatlug look at this!" Fishlegs added and meatlug fluttered over, sniffing Jack who was growing more and more annoyed.
Snotlout send Fishlegs a weirded-out expression "okay, you're creeping me out. Tone it down Fishlegs."
"Royalty"
"Maybe- now let me go!"
"yeah, no can-do me amigo." Ruffnut stated, revealing her crossed fingers.
"oh- move, both of you." Hiccup huffed, pushing both the twins out of the way then setting to cutting through the amber, much to Jack's distaste who kept a wary eye on the fire. Eventually the amber cracked, freeing jack who tumbled out face first into the snow. In a flash the boy rolled over and glared at Ruff.
"Staff. Now."
"Oooo it's a staff? Does it have magical perks? Can I make tuff disappear?" she asked mysteriously, pointing it at Tuff who went wide eyed "poof!" she exclaimed and Tuff screamed and fell into the snow dramatically.
"No- give it to me-!" Jack snapped and lunged for the stick. Commotion broke out, Ruff threw the stick to Tuff and Jack lunged at him, effectively turning it into a game of piggy in the middle.
"Catch!" Tuff yelled gleefully, throwing it back to his sister.
"Guys…" Hiccup drawled, crossing his arms.
"Catch me if you can Frost." Ruff dared and ran away with jack hurdling after her around the cave. It was almost comical.
"It's mine give it back- stupid Vikings and their stupid stubbornness" Jack shouted, panic building up on his face that actually made Hiccup worry. "I need it-"he stated, the icicles slowly growing around the cavern as Jack's distress grew.
"Uh... maybe you guys should-" Snotlout seemed to notice the ice growing as well.
"Barf belch knock him out!" Ruff ordered, sliding underneath the dragon who puffed green gas into Jacks face, the white-haired boy stumbling in shock and coughing.
"Wait no-" Hiccup screamed out in horror but did little help as the sparks flickered and ignited the air; the explosion sent jack hurdling into the cave wall where he fell to the ground unconscious. "oh- for the love of-" Hiccup groaned, pinching his nose. "why are you both like this?"
"he started it!"
Fishlegs gasped and ran over "you killed him!" he announced, rolling Jack over and pressing his ear to the smaller chest "oh wait- no, he's alive. Thank the gods. He's out cold though."
Snotlout chuckled "Get it? Out cold! Ey? Ey?"
"Alright, enough. We're taking him to Berk." Hiccup decided.
A collective "what?!" rang throughout the room. Sigh.
"Yes, we're taking him to my dad. If you say this guy's basically royalty it is not our forte, we're not being held responsible for anything and this definitely doesn't involve us. My dad is the only one who'll have the slightest connections with Manejord… we're going to Berk." He explained.
"But… can't we keep him. He's so cute and pale." Ruff stated, cooing over the unconscious boy, making Hiccups stomach churn.
"no. We're not keeping him you just knocked him out!" Hiccup argued.
"But- Hiccup please?" Fishlegs begged with round eyes, shuffling over to him with the unconscious elemental in his arms "Can we please keep him for a little longer? We- we're responsible because the twins knocked him out! it's our fault."
"I would like to carefully point out it was Ruff who told Barf and Belch to knock him out." Tuff said defensively, a slight tone of cockiness to his tone.
Hiccup was too tired for this "Fine. One night at The Edge. Come on. let's go."
"oh- oh he's riding with me!"
"no, me!"
"No way- he rides with me I figured out what he was-"
Hiccup's eye twitched "Since you all can't decide he rides with me. understood?!"
His team stared at him with wide eyes then slowly nodded "jeez... somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning…" Snotlout muttered, mounting Hookfang.
Hiccup groaned in annoyance and mounted Toothless, Astrid helping him get the guy up and onto the dragon as well. Somehow, he found a comfortable position with jack sat in front of him on the saddle and his arm wrapped the ice teens middle to secure him, then he patted Toothless's head with his free hand.
"Let's just take this one easy, alright bud?" he murmured and Toothless purred in response, taking off the ground in one swift motion, the other dragons following behind.
They soared through the sky, hiccup keeping a tight grasp around Jack's middle so that he didn't accidentally send the guy falling to his death. Jack's head kept lolling onto Hiccups shoulder, strands of his white hair tickling Hiccups chin and nose as the wind tousled it, annoying the Viking to death. Half way home Snotlout rode up beside Toothless and waggled his eyebrows at the way Hiccup was holding onto jack which made him blush horribly and shout and Snotlout. Apparently, he was holding Jack like how one would hold onto a Maiden.
Typical, he does something nice for somebody and ensures they don't fall to their death and gets mocked for it.
Once back at The Edge he came to the realization that they had no spare sleeping quarters. After a long debate on where the boy should stay, they all settled on creating a makeshift bed in hiccups house by huddling blankets together on the ground. No, hiccup still didn't get his own bed, Jack got his bed, and hiccup got the makeshift blanket bed. Typical.
It wasn't all too bad, the floor wasn't to bumpy and he had Toothless to lean on, his dragon finding it all very exciting that hiccup had decided to sleep on the ground and opted to not return to the stables that night. Hiccup was alright with that since he had no real desire to sleep alone in a room with a total stranger.
He lay awake most of the night, a biting chill in the room. An elemental, huh? It was pretty sensible to conclude that Jack was a frost/ice elemental, which was… almost unheard of to Hiccup. This was definitely his father's forte, or Gothi maybe. Nevertheless, he'd been way too tired to argue with his team about it so just settled for calling their sleeping guest a 'tomorrow problem' even if Astrid had declared her disapproval before they'd retreated to their own homes to rest.
After tossing and turning, he finally fell asleep. For about an hour.
.
Toothless screeched in his ears making him bolt awake with a startled yell, arms flailing wildly and eyes blurrily trying to focus. "m-'wake." He got out, face being hit by a tail. "m-toothless- what?"
"Not a morning person?" A voice broke through his groggy state, and finally his eyes registered a shining white head, belonging to the elemental, Jack Frost, who was kneeling in front of him with a cocky grin. "Well, pre-morning I suppose. It's still dark out."
"uh- uh you're awake." Hiccup stated obviously.
"Well done." Jack snorted, rising onto his feet. "sorry for scaring your dragon. In my defense he scared me first, giving me a look with all those teeth and scales." He said, tapping Toothless insecurely, Toothless giving a low grumble in response.
Hiccup rubbed his eyes "how're you feeling."
"Just peachy. Almost like I was thrown into a Cave wall" he said, humming in thought and pacing around the room. "Other than that, grateful. You got me out of a real pickle back there. Guess I owe you one... even if your friends knocked me out."
"don't worry about it." He said, stifling a yawn and stretching out his arms "if you really wanted to repay me you'd let me sleep and not kill me or something. That'd really make this difficult." He murmured, settling back down against toothless.
"Ok, I promise not to kill you. But I'm going to go find my staff."
"okay." He said dismissively. Three seconds went by. "wait a second-" he stumbled up and raced out the door after the ice boy. "Jack- wait-Jack? just my luck. Loose the elemental. Jack!" he called, trying to not be too loud and tip-toing around the basecamp. "How did I-"
"yes?" the cool voice asked making hiccup yell in surprise, jolting away from a barrel on his right that Jack was perched lazily on.
"what are you doing?"
"well, searching for my staff. But, I wanted to make you jump. Boo?"
"yea, well, mission accomplished." He growled "Your staff is in my house, I confiscated it from the twins since it seemed pretty important and I didn't want you to freeze anybody if we left it behind." He explained, gesturing for Jack to follow him back to the house.
Jack hummed, hoping down and padding after him "I wouldn't freeze you all without it, I'd freeze you all with it though."
"this seems counterproductive as to why I'm returning it." Hiccup drawled, entering his house and grabbing the staff of the desk, chucking it over to Jack "what's so important-" he stopped, watching in awe as frost glazed across the stick the second it came into contact with Jack's hand. "-about it."
Jack rose his eyebrows amused "well, it helps me control this." He touched the wall with the stick sending ice crawling up it. "and, let's me do this" he conjured a snowball in his hands and threw it directly at Hiccup, who barely dodged it in time.
"But you're an elemental- I thought your powers came from your body or something like that?"
"That's right, except that I have… difficulties. This is a sort of… helps me channel it without exploding or anything." Jack explained briefly, plopping himself down on Hiccups desk. "Nice place you got here."
"yeah- off that- now before you wreck it." Hiccup pushed Jack off the desk and off his precious papers "you've already damaged the wall by doing the weird ice trick."
"it's ice." Jack drawled.
"I don't care."
"what happened to your leg?"
"What are you doing away from your homelands?" Hiccup shot back, feeling a little defensive.
Jack smirked at hiccups hostility, this time perching himself on top of a chest that contained Hiccups clothes "Running away. This is going to be a very one-sided conversation if it's only me answering questions. So, what happened to your leg?"
"lost it." He stated simply, feeling a bit smug when Jack's smirk fell into a deadpanned expression. "Alright, I lost it during a war with dragons. It's difficult to explain, there was this queen bee dragon controlling all the other dragons and I fell into an explosion and- you're not understanding this are you?"
Jack shrugged "so... you lost your leg because of dragons? But you seem to like dragons, I mean… you let one sleep in your house."
"yeah, because this is Toothless. Toothless say hi." he said, Toothless perking up at the mention of his name and prancing over to Jack, analyzing the frost boy with big eyes before smiling fondly and purring.
As always, Toothless' grin was impossible to frown at "Aren't you just adorable." Jack commented, daring to scratch Toothless' ears. Toothless growled a little "sorry, I meant deadly. Adorable. But deadly."
"See? Not a bad dragon. The dragon that costed me my leg was terrorizing my Clan's home by forcing other dragons to steal our livestock." Hiccup explained more thoroughly. "but… I also got Toothless out of it." He said as Toothless trotted over to be petted by him. "and I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world, bud." He smiled, Toothless humming in response.
"Sounds intense." Jack nodded.
"You're turn. Why're you running away?"
Jack smiled again "Avoiding the inevitable responsibility my name brings. In other words, avoiding my family. Rebelling. Whatever you want to call it."
"You're literally running away because you've got family issues?" Hiccup drawled in disbelief. "not because you're a criminal, not because you've done something terrible, because you have family issues?"
"when you put it like that it sounds bad."
"it sounds childish."
Jack scowled "Well, when responsibility includes accepting princely duties or marrying some deranged fire princess, running away doesn't sound so childish."
"So, you really are a prince?" hiccup asked, raising his eyebrows, half impressed and half amused.
"Of sorts." Jack shrugged "I'm not exactly next in line to the throne. That would be my older sister Neve."
Hiccup snorted "well, guess I can relate to avoiding responsibilities since I'm next in line to be chief of my clan in Berk. Sucks, right?"
"insanely."
A silence fell over them.
Hiccup bit his lip for a moment "so… are you going to go back?"
"no."
"that seems irresponsible."
Jack grinned and pointed at him like he finally understood "exactly!"
Hiccup deadpanned him in annoyance "great. Well, this was super insightful but I'm still tired so I'm going back to sleep. You're welcome to stay the night as long as no elemental army comes knocking at my door tomorrow morning. Oh, and If you're staying you no longer get the bed."
Jack let out a blissful laugh "trust me, nobody will think to search for me here. With Vikings." He assured hiccup, then settled down on top of the chest which Hiccup forced himself not to question, because hey, he got the bed. "Thanks, for all this."
Hiccup pulled himself under the covers "don't worry about it. Just don't kill me in my sleep and we're even."
"I'm not going to kill you...I think your dragon Toothless would kill me first." Jack chuckled in amusement, sprawling out on the chest to get comfy... which really couldn't have been comfy. "night, Hiccup Haddock."
"Goodnight, Jack."
