Authors pre-notes: Thanks for all the reviews and so fast! You guys are so sweet! Anyways, I'm really excited to have this story going it's going to be a fun one, the idea was something I wanted to play with. The summery says nothing about this plot simply because I suck at making summaries. Besides, it's always more fun when you're thrown into it! Anyways just trying to keep this whole Jack and Hiccup thing original - there are so many good stories out there and I need to put in my two cents!

ENJOY!

"I can see you?" Hiccup repeated, scowling, "w-what do you mean, 'I can see you?'"

The mysterious youth took a step back, his bright eyes wide with astonishment, "you - you can hear me!" an excited grin spread across his face as he slightly bounced on his feet. The youth's eyes were a bright blue and wide with excitement.

"Why shouldn't I be able to see you?" Hiccup gave the stranger an all over glance – he looked human and normal to him, "who are you?"

The stranger was suddenly in front of him, his hand in the other boys as a quick hand shake. His eyes went wide again, as he gasped in for air slowly, "you can-you can touch me!"

The young man looked up at Hiccup; his face was pale making a perfect canvas for those rich baby blue eyes. His face slipped in and out of a smile as he continued to look down at their clasped hands.

"Uh, my names Hiccup," the brunette said cautiously. The other boy was close; he had his arm in a perfect 90 degree angle, his upper body leaning in. The sheer look of amazement never left the strangers face.

"Jack Frost," he said and then raised an eyebrow, "wait, what was your name?" he chuckled.

Hiccup rolled his eyes to the Jacks amusement, "its Hiccup." Jack laughed again shaking his head and Hiccup glared slightly trying to pull his hand away.

"It's a Viking thing," he defended.

Toothless made a sound, interrupting Jacks laugh and instantly moved in front of Toothless. His staff out defensively in front of him, "look at this thing," he said amused, watching the black dragon's reaction.

The night fury growled, his ears went back and he lowered himself close to the ground.

"Oh, boy," Hiccup made a face and walked over, "it's okay bud, he's a friend," the brunette slide a hand over Toothless' scaly head. The dragon sunk lower, his growl becoming more prominent.

"Toothless, look he's a friend," Hiccup looked at Jack, extended his arm towards the blue hooded boy.

Jack gave the dragon a questioning look, his eyes sliding up to Hiccups and then to his extended hand. A smile crept on to his face; he lowered his staff and leaned forward, his hand coming into contact with Hiccups. Their fingers brushed, and their palms pressed into each other.

Hiccup gulped. The other man was cold to the touch– something inhuman. But the energy around the contact felt so warm. A warm flush touched Hiccups cheeks as he stared at the blue-eyed mysterious young man.

Jack features relaxed, his mouth curling up into a small smile, before he took another glance at their touching hands and he pulled his arm away, swaying backwards, "yeah, see dragon, we're friends."

Toothless glanced back and forth between the two teens before sitting up and giving Jack a blank stare.

"Does everyone have a dragon around here?" Jack propped his staff up on his shoulder.

"Uh, well, not really. Our village kind of, well, they kind of hate them. We are dragon hunters."

Jack gave him a confused look, then glanced back at the sitting night fury, "so then why-"

"I couldn't kill him." Hiccup simply said his voice soft as he looked up into Jacks eyes and then glanced at Toothless who shared a look. His attention was back on Jack though, eyeing the lean young man.

"So you never answered my question, how come I shouldn't be able to see you?"

"I don't know, people have never been able to see me. They just walk through me. I always thought there was something I was doing wrong, but I haven't been able to figure it out," Jack looked up at Hiccup and smiled, "but you can see me."

"How long has it been like that?"

"For a really long time," Jack replied timidly.

"Yeah but how long is a really long time? A couple months?"

Jack chuckled, "two hundred years give or take"

Hiccups eyebrows pulled together, "w-what? But that's- how can…What are you?"

As soon as the Jack opened his mouth to speak, Toothless bolted towards the trees and Jack was up in the air, his staff in hand.

"Hiccup?" Astrid's voice carried over to him.

"Astrid! Hi Astrid, hi," Hiccup spun around, his arms behind his back. He gulped nervously, hoping she didn't see Toothless.

"What's going on?" she glanced around. Jack landed back on the dirt a couple feet behind Hiccup.

"I thought I heard you talking to-"

"Oh yeah, how rude, this guy is who I was talking to," Hiccup gestured behind him and Astrid gave him a funny look, "you're not being funny Hiccup."

"No I'm serious, he's right here!" Hiccup gestured widely towards Jack who leaned casually on his staff.

Astrid glared at him, "Hiccup are you calling me stupid? There's no one there."

Hiccup wiped his brow and then ran his hand through his hair, "this is bad." He mumbled.

"Whatever, I thought we could walk to practice together, but since you're too busy, fine." The blonde turned around and began stalking back to the village.

Hiccup shot an accusing glare back towards Jack who simply raised an eyebrow and nodded his head in the direction of the girl.

"Okay, okay Astrid, wait!" Hiccup caught up to her, walking beside her and trying to stay clear of her swinging arms.

"I've just been under stress lately; please don't take it the wrong way!" Hiccup lied, trying to get her to look at him.

"So what, you made up an invisible friend?" she huffed.

"It's not like that."

Astrid stopped, turning around she leaned towards Hiccup, and her intimidating blue eyes were piercing, calculating. Hiccup glanced away; catching Jack now perched on the tree branch just atop of them. Jacks eyes were amused, a sly smirk playing at his lips.

"There's something you're hiding Hiccup," she accused at last.

Hiccups eyes found their way back to Astrid; he smiled faintly and then stepped around her.

"Let's, uh, head to the ring before we're late." He gave her one last look before beginning to walk away.

Astrid glanced at him and then around the woods before catching up to Hiccup.

^.^

Jack watched the entire show; he was lounging in a tree branch just above them chuckling as they walked off together.

The spirit of mischief stood up as soon as they were far enough away. This was the one place in the world where someone could see him, hear him and even touch him – and it was the one place in the world where he would give up anything to stay for the ride.

Besides, by the looks of things this village was going to be anything but boring.

^.^

After training, Jack met up with me again. He watched as I grabbed gear to remake Toothless's harness.

He studied me, not really making any small talk.

"So I was thinking about what you could be," I started the conversation. It was late outside and no one would be up anyways, so talking to Jack was okay.

"Yeah?"

"Uh-huh, maybe you're a spirit?" I offered.

Jack gave him a side long glance, "can spirits do this," he tapped his staff on the corner of the table I was working. Then entire chunk of wood became painted with a frosty design before freezing over.

I looked at him in amazement, and he just shrugged it off, "ever since I can remember, I could do this."

"I wonder how you became like that," I muttered more talking to myself than Jack.

"I have been trying to figure that out for years," Jack flew over to a tiny window, cracking it open and letting the moon shine through.

I stopped working. The moon lit up Jacks features in such a way it became breathtaking. He looked up sincerely at the moon before glaring at it and turning away, "I can't have a purpose here if I don't even know who I am or what I am," Jack sighed.

I stepped over to him, "it'll come with time, right?" he laughed at this, "how much more time will I have to waste?"

Jack looked down, perching his small frame on a nearby table. I walked over to and stood in front of him, "I wish there was something I could do to help."

"Hey, don't worry about it, at least someone can see me, right?" he smiled.

His eyes shone in the dim light, I felt at a loss for words so all I could manage was a little nod. Something electric touched my spine and I shivered, barely realizing that I was leaning towards Jack. My hand touched his and a heat flushed me.

I jumped back nervously, "uh-maybe I'll call it a night,"

Jack jumped up at this point, "nah, I-I'll go. You needed some measurement from your dragon right? I'll just zip over there and do that," Jack offered before climbing out of the small opening of the shop window and vanishing into the night.

As soon as Jack left, I wanted to go see Astrid more. Maybe it was selfish, but I wanted to see her because I wanted to be able to gaze at her, take in every feature of her and have my heart skip a beat again. Just like how it had with Jack.

Ever since meeting him, I felt strange.

Or maybe I was sick.

Yeah, that had to be it.

I couldn't be getting warm spells because of some guy?

His name is Jack, I reminded myself coldly.

I was about to turn back – thinking that if I did see Astrid and got the same feelings as when I saw Jack how would that help me with my confusion?

Too late.

I got to the door of the Astrids house and she just happened to be leaving.

"Hiccup, what are you doing here?" she tucked a lose strand of hair behind her ear.

"Oh-I, uh, just wanted to see you Astrid. Talk about, uh, those darn dragons," I faked a smile suddenly getting nervous.

"Oh, well, I forgot my axe at the ring, walk with me?" she smiled.

"Uh, yeah, sure – "

"Is everything okay, Hiccup?" she gave me a side long glance.

"Yeah, it's just that, uh, my summersaults are lacking, and uh, well could you give me some pointers?" I lied, mentally kicking myself in the head.

Astrid stopped, grabbing my arm so I pulled to a stop as well, "look Hiccup, you don't have to just talk, well, training and dragon talk around me."

Heat flamed over my face and I was thankful it was nighttime so she didn't have to see me in good light. My heart was beating fast, a bubbly sensation crawling up my skin from where she was touching.

"Oh, well, I guess I just wanted to see –"

"Astrid!" Snotlout exclaimed, walking over to us. Astrid quickly released my arm and stepped back, "hey."

"Heading to the ring? I hope my cousin isn't being a bug." He eyed me, glared and then turned back to Astrid, "no he's fine. We were just talking.

"Oh, good. I was wondering if we could go for a quick walk then."

Astrid glanced at me and then back at Snotlout, "sure," she smiled. I looked at her she bit her lip and mouthed 'I'm sorry'.

Snotlout shouldered his way past me, touching the small of Astrids back and leading her off.

^.^

Why did I have to be so pathetic? Hiccup thought to himself. At least he got one thing out of this, he knew that his feelings for Astrid were more intense than feelings - if any - for Jack. He had known Astrid all his life anyways. It would be right to date her. But now, all of a sudden his cousin was sneaking around. Hiccup had to admit, Snotlout had a uncanny slyness about the way he got Astrid to go off with him.

Hiccup made his way back to the shop, finishing up and then began heading home feeling frustrated. He couldn't even think about knowing how to date properly - let alone where to start.

He still felt like he had a chance and now that they were talking a lot more, she would see him differently instead of a 'bug' like Snotlout had put it. Besides that she was everything there was to look for in a Viking girl.

This made her a main target for every Viking guy – like Snotlout.

Hiccups mind flashed to Jack, he seemed to know it all – have it all. With those baby blue eyes and perfect snow skin he could get any girl if he wanted to. If anything he could be some kind of coach. Because he's so handsome, he probably had no trouble getting a girl to fall head over heels for him – well, back when they could see him.

Something flashed in Hiccups mind.

What if I got Jack to agree to go out with me? He could coach me and tell me where I am going wrong – how I can fix it. Then maybe Astrid would pay a little bit more attention to me.

Hiccup made a face, placing his fingers on his temples and pressing hard. Yeah and how am I supposed to do that? What a stupid idea.

"Hey, hey!" Jack laughed from above, he was riding the wind before he landed gracefully in front of Hiccups house.

"Your dragon doesn't like me too much," Jack pointed out, giving Hiccup his sketching book with the measurements on it.

"Wow, thanks Jack."

The two boys shared a look, a special moment between them stood in the balance. Moments like these were something that Hiccup wished he could have played on for hours. Just those few moments of catching a glimpse of Jacks face lit up in a genuine smile and his eyes – those darn too blue eyes – were soul captivating.

This is a bad idea, his mind warned, Don't do it Hiccup.

To rationalize himself, he thought of how it would feel to be just like Jack - or the hero in a story, and get the girl of their dreams. Everybody needs a little push, maybe this was Hiccups.

Hiccup led the way to the porch of his small shack and sat down on a step. Jack crouched in front of him, leaning on his staff.

He tilted his head sheepishly, "is something up?"

Hiccup made a face, "well – uh, yeah, but it's stupid," he looked down.

"There's no such thing as stupid thoughts," Jack offered.

"Y-you wouldn't happen to know a lot about this, uh, you know, dating stuff," Hiccup raised an eyebrow, pushing the conversation in the direction he wanted it to go in.

"Uh-well, kind of, you just sort of catch on to that kind of stuff when you've been around long enough," Jack replied, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh, so you would say you're pretty good at, uh, this stuff?" Hiccup was beginning to stumble over his words, his unforgiving tongue wanting to just say the thoughts and get it all over with. But somehow, Hiccup had a feeling Jack would catch on.

Jacks stare had hardened, his eyes becoming even more intense an eyebrow slowly dipping down, and a smirk pulled at the corner of his lip, "why do you ask?"

Hiccup knew it. Jack was smart – of course he would have caught on. The brunettes face felt hot, his hands getting clammy and he began fidgeting and scratching behind his ear, "w-well it's just, I'm no good at any of this and, I just thought…" Hiccups eyes were everywhere but Jacks.

"You just thought?" Jack coaxed his voice turning into liquid velvet.

"I-If you could…Well, you know…G-go out with me, s-see what I'm doing wrong. Fix it?" Hiccup looked up into Jacks blue eyes, hopelessly.

Jack was silent, his eyes wide and his mouth opening and closing for a moment, before his eyebrows knit together, giving Hiccup a confused look.

Hiccups smile faded, as he watched the pale youths face. Jacks eyes were as deep as the sea, but Hiccup couldn't get a fixed read on any of his emotions.

This was wrong. This was wrong. This was so wrong! Humiliation rose up in Hiccups stomach; flipping it around and making him feel nauseous.

"N-never mind, forget I said anything," Hiccup turned away and stood up; his mind was screaming at him.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Authors Notes: Surprise! Or no, I guess not Dx Oh jeez, Hiccup is just putting himself in a mess isn't he? Still ready to read more?
