This chapter takes place one year before the movie How to Train Your Dragon.

8 years later

Since the day Jack found Hiccup, every year he took two or three days to spend time with the only kid that could actually see him. At first it was kind of awkward, Jack like spending time making snow for kids so they could play but he wasn´t used to actually to play with a 6 years old. It was a good learning and it helped Jack to relax after 364 days of talking to no one expect to the wind and, occasionally, the moon.

Jack was flying across the ocean towards the small and lost island when he remembered the first time he visited the kid at the backyard of his house.

"Why can´t anyone see you Jack?" Hiccup asked him one day.

Jack, who was sitting next to him helping the 7 year old boy make a snowman, frowned.

"I am not sure." he answered softly hoping the kid would leave the subject alone.

"My dad says you are my imaginary friend." Jack turned to see Hiccup and saw the worried grin on his face. "Are you imaginary Jack?"

The winter spirit took Hiccup by the chin and made him look up. "I am not imaginary Hiccup but I am not human like you."

"Then what are you?"

Jack thought about it for a moment. "I am something else, I don´t know what exactly but I can make snow."

"And you can fly and make cute figures on the windows." finished the kid with triumphant voice making Jack smile.

The winter spirit landed on the small port where the Vikings kept their most magnificent and enormous boats. Jack touched the cold ground and looked up. The clouds were starting to fill the sky; the snow would start falling some hours before sunrise. People around him kept walking and passing through him not noticing. Jack ignored them too.

"Did you see his face?" shouted a short kid to the rest of the group of the young teens. The rest of the teens laughed at the same time.

"It was epic." said a blonde girl that looked exactly like the kid next to her.

"But you did nothing!" said the blonde boy as he pushed the girl.

Jack bit his lip as he recognized those kids as the bullies of the village.

"I am sorry but I was the one that brought Hiccup to the trap. Without me, there would have been no prank!" the girl shouted as she punched her brother on the arm.

Jack stopped and stared at the group. What have they done to Hiccup now?! With a movement of his staff he made a strong wind and hit them on the back making them fall at the same time. Jack didn´t even take the opportunity to finish torturing those bullies, he had to find Hiccup first.

Jack searched around the village but when he found no sign of Hiccup he decided to go and check on the forest. There it was way easier to find the 14 year old boy. Jack saw him sitting over a big rock as he looked at the sea. Hiccup was covered in mud except for him eyes and his feet.

"Hiccup?" Jack called him out.

Hiccup turned around surprised but when he saw Jack he relaxed.

"Hey Jack."

The winter spirit sat next to Hiccup and with his hand he took off some mud of his cheek.

"What happened?"

Hiccup sighed and pulled his knees up to his chest.

"Some of the other teens decided to have some fun."

Jack knew that those bullies loved to mess up with Hiccup. Only because he was weaker and smaller it didn´t gave them the right to abuse him.

"How long have you been here?"

Hiccup raised his shoulders. "I just got here."

"Why didn´t you go to your house and took a bath?"

"I didn´t want my dad to see me."

Jack looked away.

"But…"

"He is already ashamed for having me as a soon, I don´t want to give him one more reason to hate on me!" snapped Hiccup but immediately he regret taking out his anger with Jack. "I am sorry."

Jack shook his head. "No, it is okay. You are angry and it is fair for you to feel angry and bad."

"And dirty."

Jack laughed at the last part making Hiccup laugh too.

"So, you want to change or do you want to stay dirty and muddy?"

Hiccup stood up from the rock and turned to Jack. "Can you get me home so I can change?"

Jack opened his arms widely making Hiccup roll his eyes. Since he remembered every time Jack gave him a ride, he never let Hiccup climb into his back. It was always hugging him. Not that Hiccup could complain but still, it felt awkward some times. Mostly when he blushed after he noticed how close his face was from Jack´s.

"I can wait all day." said Jack.

Hiccup sighed and put his arms around Jack´s neck. He felt Jack´s hands surrounding his waist and pulled him closer. Suddenly Hiccup stopped feeling the floor under him and hid his face between Jack´s chest and tried to breathe. He wasn´t afraid of highs, after so many rides with Jack he had grown used to flying. The thing that made him breathe to keep himself calm was the fact that Jack was too close. Hiccup closed his eyes and avoided making eye contact with the white haired teenager. He knew that Jack would tease on him forever if he saw the blush on his face.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Do you want me to join you in there?" asked Jack as he rocked his torso back and ford on Hiccup´s bed.

"And let you freeze my warm water? No thanks." answered Hiccup from inside the bathroom.

Jack nodded, jumped off the bed and started pacing around the room. It wasn´t big but it was tall enough to let Jack fly around. The spirit looked over Hiccup´s sketches and smiled. If Hiccup´s dad knew about his talent, he wouldn´t treat the way he treated his son. Suddenly something caught Jack´s attention. Unlike the usual drawings he saw on Hiccup´s desk, this paper had a face in it. Jack took the paper and inspected the drawing.

"No!" he heard Hiccup shout from his back. "Stop looking through my stuff!"

Jack laughed. "Why? I have always done that."

Hiccup was shirtless but he was already wearing his pants and shoes for Jack disappointment.

"Jack, you need to learn to respect other people belongings!" Hiccup ran towards Jack and tried to grab the paper but Jack was about half a head taller than Hiccup and it wasn't a problem to keep it away from him.

"Well, the picture is my face so it´s technically mine."

Hiccup´s face blushed.

Jack was about to keep teasing the boy when he heard some screaming coming from outside. Both boys run towards the nearest window and looked down and around the village. Jack noticed it was already as dark as the mouth of a wolf but high fireplaces illuminated the village giving it a creepy atmosphere. The Vikings ran like if their lives depended on it with weapons as torches, arrows and swords.

"Dragons." mumbled Hiccup making Jack turn at him with a worried grin painted on his face.

He knew dragons but he had never seen one so close. The dragons, like most magical creatures, were able to see him. The thing was that dragons and cold didn´t always make a good combination. Jack didn´t approached them the reptiles tired to stay away from him and his snow as far as they could.

Out of nowhere, Hiccup ran back into the room and finished ressing up. "I am going out."

Jack stared at him with disbelief. "Out there? With that mess? Are you out of your mind?"

Hiccup brushed some hair off his face and put his vest on. "I have to, that is what Vikings do."

Jack grabbed his staff that was leaning against Hiccup´s bed and held it tightly as he tried to hide his anger. The two boys heard a roar far away and then an explosion.

"You can get killed!"

"I have to prove I am not useless!"

"To who?" Jack screamed back. "Your father?"

"Would it be bad if it was?"

The room stood quiet. Hiccup was already on beside the door with his hand on the lock ready to open it. Jack stood just a couple of inches away from the younger one. Worried blue eyes met nervous and childish green ones. Jack wanted to badly to grab Hiccup with his staff and pull him to a tight embrace. He wanted so badly to protect the young Viking, to never let him go because if he let him, he would be alone again.

"Jack?" the spirit heard the whisper escaping from Hiccup´s lips. It sounded like if the boy wasn´t sure if he wanted to be heard or no. "I have to leave."

Jack hit the floor with his staff making a circle of snow appear around the stick.

"I will come with you."

Hiccup held his breath but didn´t say anything. Jack grumped at the lack of words from his friend.

"I can be of some kind of help. Dragons hate cold and snow plus fire makes water which I think they don´t like either."

Hiccup smiled making Jack frown disappear. He would never admit it out loud, he loved that goofy smile.

"Thank you." Hiccup ran and hugged Jack tightly, just the way they do whenever Jack flew with him.

Jack hugged him back but this time the touch felt different. Jack´s cold skin against Hiccup´s warm one didn´t felt odd or wrong. It was just perfect. Hiccup hid his face between Jack´s neck and sighed.

"Now let´s go, before the dragons burn the entire village!"

Jack watched Hiccup ran back towards the door and then down the stairs. He smiled for himself before jumping out of the window.
