A/N's: Hi guys! I decided to completely re-write this chapter. It's totally different from the original and I've taken on board what a few of you said regarding Hiccup's powers. I hope you enjoy it. I prefer this one so much more :)

Chapter 1 – Anniversary


This is Patterson's School for the Gifted, located in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London. It's a very old building, as are all of the buildings on King's Road, of course they would be, the road was owned by King Charles II and remained a private royal road until 1830, so the majority have been standing since the 18th Century. But enough about the streets history.

My name is Hiccup, unusual I know, but the majority of the students here change their names after leaving home. Mostly because coming here is kind of a new start to life. Many students are disowned by their parents when their powers develop, so a change of name is one step towards shedding their old life and welcoming a new one. I wasn't really disowned by my father, he was more shocked than anything, maybe a little anger thrown in there too. But as the years have gone by, he's come to accept the fact that I'm different. We don't speak much during term time but I do go home now and again and I'm always welcome when I do. As for the name change, my wonderful yet more often than not annoying boyfriend, Jack, kindly suggested it and it just kind of stuck, something I wasn't all that pleased with but it's not the worst name here.

As you've probably guessed I attend this school because I am in fact deemed as gifted, I have these powers that your bog-standard human doesn't have. Actually, everyone who attends this school has some sort of power. Take Jack, he has super speed and agility, can heal at a fast rate and has this little ice thing going on. He's at an age where most students start to develop a secondary power, but he doesn't have the best control over the ice. He's able to produce small, thin layers of ice for a short period of time at the moment but with time and training he should be able to master it.

Then there's our friends, Ben, Tina, Astrid and Freddy. Ben's primary power is telekinesis, he can move and manipulate objects with his mind and his secondary power is precognition, the ability to foresee things that have yet to come, which he developed three months ago. I tell you, nothing gets passed him now he's managed to control his secondary, which Jack wasn't best pleased about. He used to prank Ben on a weekly basis but Ben can foresee anything Jack has planned, and avoids it.

Tina's powers are pretty cool, she's kind of pixie like but don't let that fool you. Her wings may look delicate but they're razor sharp at the edges and can cut through almost anything and her 'pixie dust' is lethal. Get some of that stuff on your skin and you're left with third degree burns. It's a good thing Jack is able to heal at a fast rate or he'd have a nasty scar on his back after an incident in our second year training exam. Tina's secondary power is teleportation, although she's not able to travel very far, but it's still kind of amazing.

Astrid only has a primary power, absorption, I guess you don't really need a secondary power when you can absorb and use other people's powers. Thankfully, she has complete control over the power now because when she first started she was unable to use it correctly and it caused a bit of a problem when she made skin to skin contact with someone else. I'd rather forget about that incident, I lost my abilities for three days a few months into our first year, not pleasant.

Freddy's primary and secondary link in with each other perfectly, time and sound manipulation. He's able to travel back and forth in time, only by 30 minutes each way, and he can slow time down, but Professor North thinks he may be able to freeze it as he gets older. I'm not too sure about his sound manipulation ability, apart from the fact he can hear those silent whistles they use for dogs. I'll have to ask him what else he's able to do with it.

Finally, there's me. What can I say? I've saved the best until last, my powers are amazing. Pyrokenesis, the ability to create and control fire. You don't need a secondary power when your primary is that cool and I still haven't mastered it to its full potential apparently. As part of a lecture, a Professor with telepathy was informing students who had yet to gain a secondary if they ever would, and he explained that my power had yet to finish developing. Someone with just a primary power can be considered stronger than someone with two because they just focus on perfecting the one ability. Jack seems to think he'll be able to perfect both, I highly doubt that.

"Hey, Hic. Why are you up so early?" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Jack calling to me. I looked at him and couldn't help but smile. His hair was all messy and sticking up in random places from where he'd slept on it during the night.

"I couldn't sleep and I had Professor Sand's essay to finish off, so I decided to stay up and do it." I replied looking down at my finished essay.

"Eww, you're doing homework at 5am. There's something wrong with you." He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and pulled the covers off his body so he could get out of bed.

"I can't leave it until the last minute like some people, plus there was nothing better to do." I said stretching in my seat.

"You could've woken me up." He winked at me as he walked over to where I was sat.

"I'm sure you'd have been delighted if I'd woken you up this early." I raised at eyebrow as he got closer, silently questioning his motives for getting out of bed.

"Of course I'd be delighted if you woke me up for the right reasons." His face was now no more than an inch from mine.

"Hmm, I absolutely love your morning breath Jack." My nose wrinkled.

"Just one of my many perks." He grinned and kissed my forehead. "Come back to bed." He said as he walked back over to our king sized bed.

When we both began, we were roommates and the room contained two single beds but when we'd started dating two years ago Professor North had given us permission to remove the two singles and replace them with a king size. I was so overwhelmed when North had accepted our relationship. We'd kept it secret from everyone, apart from our friends, for six months, then it became too difficult to hide. When we came out all the faculty and the majority of the students were very supportive, which made everything a hell of a lot easier.

"Hic, you've zoned out again." Jack called from his side of the bed.

"Just thinking about stuff." I said, making my way towards him.

"Stop thinking at this early hour, it's not healthy." He said, turning around to face me.

I pulled back to covers and climbed in. "I was thinking about us, when we first got together." I replied, taking my contact lenses out and putting them in their case.

"Okay, you're allowed to think about that." He grinned.

I smiled at him as I lay down beside him. "I can't believe it's been two years. Where's the time gone?" I asked.

He shrugged. "No idea, but it certainly doesn't feel like it's been two years. We've known each other for five years, that's quite scary."

"Yeah, we only have one year left here, then out into the big wide world." I sighed.

"Mhmm. But you'll always have me by your side. We can face the world together." He smiled at me, flashing his white teeth.

"Couldn't ask for anything better." I said, moving closer to him so he was able to wrap me securely in his arms, where I always felt safe.

"Are you feeling okay, Hic? You're burning up." He tried to hold in his sniggers.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Very funny, Jack. It's not like the joke got old five years ago or anything." Even though it was a terrible joke, it never failed to cheer me up. Jack knew I hated thinking about leaving this place.

Our families are from two different countries. I'm originally from Scotland and Jack's from the U.S. Ever since our relationship became serious I've worried about what will happen when we finish school. But Jack has reassured me that wherever I go, he'll be right beside me. Even if that does mean not seeing his family as much as he'd like.

I nuzzled my head into his bare chest and relaxed as his scent filled my nostrils. He'd always had this fresh smell about him and his temperature was always on the cold side, which was quite soothing. Should've seen his ice powers coming a mile off really.

"Happy two year anniversary, Hic." Jack said kissing the top of my head.

I smiled into his chest, which must've tickled him slightly because he began to laugh. "Happy two year anniversary, Jack" I replied.

"And here's to plenty more." He placed his index finger under my chin to lift my head up. His crystal blue eyes were almost sparkling. They were definitely the first thing I fell in love with, they're like windows to his soul and every emotion he goes through are portrayed in them.

He pulled me out of my thoughts yet again, but this time he did it by lightly pressing his lips to mine. I soon came crashing back to the present and leaned my head forward so I was able to capture his lips properly. I hated it when he teased me with light, feather like kisses.

His left hand moved down from my chin to hold my hip as he deepened our kiss. The whole experience still gave me butterflies, even though we'd kissed a million times before, he still had this effect on me and hopefully, I on him.

Jack pulled away slightly and I was about to question why he'd stopped but the he began planting kisses along my jaw line and towards my neck. I bit my lower lip, he knew kissing my neck drove me crazy.

I let out soft moans as he continued to kiss down my neck to my collar bone. "If you carry on, I can't promise I'll be able to stop." I gasped as he made his way slowly from my collar bone to my chest. "Seriously, Jack. It's 5.30am, how are you even aroused at this hour?"

He stopped his descent and looked up at me. "Because you're absolutely gorgeous no matter what time of day it is." He replied and winked at me.

That was it, he'd started something that I wasn't willing to stop. I took his face between my two hands and pulled him back up so his face was level with mine, and crashed my lips to his. He started it and I was definitely going to finish it.
