Hello there, I guess I'm back. I'll start now by thanking these people that were kind enough to leave a review; my sincerest thanks to Jenskuchu, The Egotist's Girlfriend, HTTYD-PJATO-ROTG-41185, Until you remember my name, eater, zsabretooth and glitter.

This chapter is slightly shorter than the first but all chapters will contain at least 3000+ words.

But that's enough for me, for now, please enjoy chapter two.


.:My Lovely Guardian:.

Chapter Two…


I smiled to the applauding crowd as my girls and I bowed. Our performance had just ended and we were all panting in a small sweat, true all the strong dance movements I that I instructed we preform was a bit brutal on our muscles, but I knew they could pull it off.

We straightened ourselves out and turned back as the red curtains lowered to a close.

"That went Wonderfully, Hiccup!" Snow smiled, hugging my left arm as we all walked off the stage to head for the backstage room.

"Of course it did Snow, I told you that you girls could do it." I grinned followed by a roll of the eyes from Meg.

"Still murder on my muscles boy." She teasingly said, tossing her brown fringe out of her lavender eyes.

"I feel your pain Meg, I'm gonna grab some heat packs. Give me a painful grunt if you need one." Esmeralda patted Megs back and was met with several totally attractive grunts.

"Oh come on! It wasn't that bad!" I laugh opening the backstage doors.

"If I could feel my arms, I'd give you such a slap to the head" Anastasia comments while stretching her arms.

"Dually noted." I roll my eyes and take my seat.

The make-up tables lined against the left side of the room, multiple outfits lining the right side next to the changing rooms and connecting to the bathroom. At the far back was a stack of white shelved holding multiple props and in the centre sat a large round table littered with props and thrown off clothing in the hustle of changing between performances.

I sat at my make-up table, the centre one, a circular mirror hanging on the wall outlined with classic light bulbs, a light green make up box opened and tiny draws open with various make-up tools over flowing. A small bag on the other side of the table holding different hair products and pulling out two bobby pins, I pinned my bangs back atop my head and took out some make-up remover.

To my left sat, in order, Snow at the end using a red ribbon to pull her black bangs out of her honey-brown eyes, Aurora humming happily as she begins pulling off her fake eyelashes, Jasmine brushing her black hair out of the braid it had been in, Meg wiping off her red lipstick and replacing it with a softer pink and next to me sat Ariel combing out her bright red hair.

Then to my right sat Cinderella, or Cindy, at the end taking pins out of her high blonde bun, Marina putting her gold ring earrings in, Anastasia wiping her mascara and eye shadow off, Belle unclasping the gold necklace from her neck and next to me was Esmeraldas table.

And speaking of the blackette, she enters the room with a tray in hand.

"Heat packs~ Get 'em while they're hot~" She grins and walks along behind us, handing out packs to waiting arms.

"Ah, bless your soul Esy, My poor legs are aching!" Anastasia whined making me roll my eyes again. Next rehearsal I'm gonna work them into the ground, I grin to myself and begin wiping my mascara away.

"You're our saint and saviour~" Belle smiled taking the offered packs and places them on her thighs.

"C'mon sweetie –Esmeralda holds out two heat packs and waves them in front of my face– you know you need them~" I sigh and take the offered packs, placing one on my right thigh and the other on my aching left shoulder.

"Thanks Es" I smile in gratitude and go back to wiping my face with a fresh white wipe. She winks to me in the mirror in acknowledgement and moved on to Ariel dramatically throwing her head back and happily takes the packs.

She stopped when she reached Aurora still humming to herself.

"And what's got you so giddy goldilocks?" She smirks raising a quizzical brow to our blonde friend.

"Mmm nothing~" she says in a singsong voice.

"Ooo~ She's got it bad!" Belle says, swivelling in her seat to look to Marina who hums in agreement.

"What? What's she got?" Ariel asks, looking oblivious to the undertone of the conversation.

"Oh I know what she's got" Jasmine smirks, looking to Aurora from the corner of her eyes.

"Our Aurora is in Love~" Esmeralda puts her hands on Auroras shoulders and gives her a small shake as she strings out the last word.

"Oh~?" I grin looking away from my mirror.

"And I thought the hearts in your eyes were for how great I am for giving you such an amazing dance routine." I teased, taking a comb to fix my hair.

"Funny, all I saw were stars for how exhausting that routine was" Marina comments, running her fingers through her short brown hair.

"Sure those stars weren't for how much I was shining?" I throw back with a grin, making her roll her eyes and return to her mirror.

"Oh shut it you freckled nerd" She says applying thin eyeliner.

"Haha, you know you love me" I laugh earning a flick on the back of the head from Esmeralda.

"Yes, yes, we all love you. But right now the million dollar question is who Aurora's loving" She smiles taking her seat next to me and tying a pink ribbon in her hair.

"He's no one really~" Aurora smiles putting soft pink lipstick on.

"Oh so it is a 'he', who is this stranger that's stolen the heart of our fair Aurora?" Cindy smiles applying blush to her cheeks.

"His name's Phillip, I met him this morning at the café down the street." Aurora smiles dreamily, abandoning the task of applying her mascara to play with her hair.

"And what is this prince charming like?" Snow smiles resting her chin in her palms looking over to Aurora.

"Well he's tall and handsome… –she sighs– and so romantic~" Snow, Jasmine and Ariel let out an 'Awww~' while Meg rolls her eyes and looks at herself in the mirror as she applies eyeliner.

"Tch. Men, they're all the same. They seem all suave and charming at first, but underneath that is a conniving liar that'll do what they have to just to get into your pants." Meg spits bitterly looking into her reflections eyes, reflecting the rage in her lavender irises.

I notice this and look to her sympathetically.

"Oh Megara, your words wound me so" I fane hurt and place the back of my hand to my forehead. The look in her eyes lightens and puts the eyeliner away.

"Don't listen to her honey! So, are you going to see him again?" Snow asks.

"I got his number and was wondering if I should call him…" She says twisting her hair between her fingers.

"You should call him! –I encourage while putting on lip balm– You deserve someone special Aurora and if he's a keeper, then put him on a leash and don't let him go." I smile offering light pink lipstick to Ariel who thanks me.

"Thank you Hiccup. That's it! I'll call him tomorrow! I'll ask for a brunch date or something." Aurora smiles to me and puts a fist into her open hand.

"That a girl!" Marina cheers raising a fist.

"Funny thing, I seem to recall a similar conversation involving you, mister Hiccup." Jasmine smirks over her shoulder and I cringe in return.

"Ah yes, we were discussing the tragic situation of Hiccup's love-life." Cindy comments tying her hair into a low ponytail.

"The tragic thing being that it's non-existent." Belle says. I groan, rolling my eyes and dramatically slam my head on the table and roll it around, avoiding the little products laying ton the table.

"Oh come on Hiccup! Isn't it like you said 'You deserve someone special'" Esmeralda smirks as she applies her pink lipstick.

"Ugh, girls please…" the table muffles my groan. Esmeralda chuckled and messes my hair with her fingers.

"We just worry for you Hiccup." She says, brushing stray hair behind my ears and smiling down to me.

"But you don't need to worry, don't get me wrong, I appreciate it and all. But love just isn't for everyone, I don't need a boyfriend or anything." I say pulling my head off the table and trowing over the back of my chair.

"And Dmitri doesn't have a thing for Anastasia, Lies! Hiccup, Lies!" Jasmine teases, also earning a "Hey!" from Anastasia, followed by her murmuring "He so doesn't have a thing for me."

Jasmine rolls her eyes in response and fixed her blue headband.

"I'm gonna get changed and go get a waiter to get us some drinks." I say, taking the bobby pins out of my hair and stand from my seat.

"Oh come on Hiccup! When're you going to find your mister right?" Cindy asks fiddling around in her make-up bag.

"C'mon, you girls know I don't have time for any mister right. I have to compose dance routines for us, design and create our outfits and then there are things like taking care of Toothless and–"

"Okay, okay we get it! –Esmeralda says, waving a hand at me and watching me through her mirror– little mister 'I-don't-have-time-for-your-love-and-bullshit'. But don't think there'll come a day when your words'll come back to bite you in the ass." She finishes looking at me smugly from the mirror with her emerald eyes.

"Kay… Got it… Sure… Now, you girls want drinks or not?" I take slow steps back, making my way to the change room. I'm met with a chorus of "Yes please~!" and head into the change room with my 'after performance' clothes waiting for me.

I quickly get changed into a pair of black skinny jeans, a light green sweater that hangs off my left shoulder and slip on a pair of black 3-inch wedge shoes.

I pulled down the baggy sweater sleeves over my wrists and make my way out of the change room and took the door from back stage, and headed for the side door to the far side of the restaurant.

I entered the main room and was met with hoots and cheers as I strolled to the bar, ignoring the calls of the customers and smiled when I saw a familiar face hidden behind black sunglasses.

"Hi Aster!" I called, getting his attention and raised a hand in acknowledgment as I made my way towards him.

"Evening Hiccup, ya looked great up there" He gestured to the stage and gave a subtle smile while folding his arms.

"Thanks Aster, but you and the guardians make it possible for us to perform up there." I smile in thanks.

"My pleasure, someone's gotta keep the creeps of ya." He says unfolding his arms and moving his sunglasses to the top of his head. I smile as he does so and move around to his side and look for a waiter to ask for drinks.

But then I spot someone, someone unfamiliar. Someone with soft looking white hair that went darker near his scalp, suggesting it was dyed –if that wasn't obvious by the colour. From what I could see as their back faced me, it was obviously a boy judging by his size and the way the waiter suit snuggly hug his slim body.

I wasn't prepared for when he turned around.

I really want prepared for when he turned around.

Wow.

Stunning bright blue eyes looked over the room and his perfect spotless pale skin shone under the chandelier light. Yep, this person was very unfamiliar to me.

I nudged Aster with my elbow and nodded my head towards the certain blue eyed, perfect skinned, amazing cheek-boned, white haired, slim figured, big-eared stranger.

"Do we have a new employee?" I asked curiously, Aster let out a groan as the stranger laughed with a couple of customers.

"Yea, That's Jackson but he prefers Jack. I go to college with him and he needed a job so I got him one here. Cocky show pony that he is, he's a friend." Aster said folding his arms and leaning against the bar counter.

"Aww~, you're such a big softy Aster." I laugh, lightly shoving Aster who kept an annoyed straight face. I laughed at his reaction, I smirked and began teasing him without noticing the boy 'Jack' turned, holding a tray under one arm and began walking to us.

"Oi Jack!" Aster called looking over my shoulder, I turned my head to see the whitette and by the looks of it, he was attempting to sneak past us to the kitchen.

"Ah ah err… hey Bunny" He straightened his back and raised a hand to scratch the back of his neck.

"This is someone I want you to meet. Jack, this is Hiccup. Hiccup, this is Jack." Aster introduced.

"Umm. Hi I'm Hiccup, as Aster said, and I'm a dancer here." I said, not knowing what'd be the right way to introduce myself and not being familiar with how Jack would, I stuck out a hand for him to shake. To which he smiled, nervous obviously, and took my hand in his.

He was surprisingly cold, but it's winter so I didn't really question it.

"I know, I saw you up there." I raised an eyebrow. A light blush touch his cheeks, he was probably getting a chill from being so cold.

"I-I uh I mean I saw you with the other dancers and… yeah you–You All, are really good dancers." He said releasing my hand to mess with his already messy hair.

"Well, uh, thank you Jack." I smile, not really sure of what to say next.

"Alright, introductions over. Jack, get back to work." Aster said sliding his sunglasses back on and directing a thumb to the kitchen door. Jack saluted him with a "Yes, sir Bunny." And went towards the door.

"Oh yeah! Uh Jack!" I stopped him and he spun around to face me.

"Yeah Hic?" I froze and quirked an eyebrow at the nickname but shrugged my shoulders and brushed it off.

"Can you grab the girls and I our usual drinks? Just ask Tiana for our drinks and if you could bring them back stage for us, that'd be great" I asked.

"Sure! I'm on it!" Jack nodded grinning and headed into the kitchen.

I let out a slow breath and headed back to Aster.

"So~ Bunny?" I inquired in a teasing tone.

"The kids got a thing for nicknames, thought you heard that Hic." He mocked back. I laughed and went to pat his shoulder but cursing my height, I patted his bicep and said I'd see him later. I went back to the door and headed to the backstage room.

Once inside, I leaned on the door and let out another sigh. Guess I must be more tired than I thought.

"And what took you so long?" I look up and see Ariel buttoning up her purple jacket and looking at me over her shoulder.

"Just talking with Aster and he wanted to introduce me to a new waiter so I had to stay for a little bit." I shrugged and moved back to my make-up table to sit down and collect my shoulder bag.

"Oh? We got a new waiter?" Marina asks from her crouched position as she tied up her brown wedges.

"Mhmm." I say as I slide my phone into the bag.

"Was that the one with the white hair I saw during the performance?" Belle says as she ties her hair into a messy bun.

"Yep, turns out he and Aster go to the same college." I say, packing various make-up products away in their box.

"Oh! I saw him! Wasn't he the one checking you out during the whole dance?" I flinch and freeze in place. I feel a blush spread across my cheeks and I shake it off seeing Jasmine smirk at me through the mirror.

"N-No way he was checking me out. He… He was probably just surprised to see a guy on stage." I say, trying to sound casual but the glances of 'Oh really?' the girls give me; tell me that I'm not convincing.

"B-Besides, he might not even swing that way." I say, seriously truing to control the mild stutter I'm giving.

"Puh-Lease! Any guy that sees you perform goes home at the end of the day swinging that way." Meg says sitting herself down at the table and stretching her arms up and crossing her legs now in skinny jeans.

I roll my eyes and toss my used white wipes into the bin below my table. What Meg said was kind of true though. Sometimes I'd see someone watching during the performances and proclaiming their love to me by the end of the day. But, I didn't know any of them. Not one person who claims to have 'loved me since the first time they saw me' do I remember the names of. I'm sure that it was all the heat of the moment.

The dancing and atmosphere messing with peoples heads and making them want to want me just because of my dancing; and no way am I the kind of guy that accepts a fuck when someone offers it.

So, Jack, even if he was watching me dance, even if he may kind of possibly have the smallest fraction of his brain that 'likes me'. Does not actually like me.

He must just like the dancing me.

After all, I just met him and I'm at least 89% sure that he's straight.

Possibly 90% sure.

An argument of his perfectly sculpted face could make it 92%.

"Hey, the drinks're here." Ariel calls from the door way and I feel a light blush tint my cheeks.

Oh shit.
