A/N: Daat feedback. Jesus. I dunno if I've ever had a more popular story. XD You guys are crazy, but seriously, thank you all so much for the reviews and favorites. You're awesome people.

I do hope that you enjoy this installment as much as you liked the first chapter! Again, let me know your thoughts and ideas. I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS.

Kbye.

Nevermind.

P.S. I just started watching "Dragons: Riders of Berk" and realized that Hiccup's leg thingy isn't totally made of metal. And that it's actually removable! So, I'll probably fix it later on in the story, but for now, this is how it is! XD Thanks for understanding and I will continue to watch this show as to inform me of more Hiccup-ness.

Chapter 2: I Don't Like to Share

"That girl keeps looking at you…"

Hiccup turned and stared at me with wide eyes. "Huh…?"

I pointed to said girl who was petting her blue colored dragon, her eyes once again returning to look at the brunette.

My friend blushed a little and I scowled at him. "Oh, Astrid? She's just—"

"Your girlfriend?"

"No! No, no, no. Well…actually, I'm not really sure."

This intrigued me. "What do you mean by that?" I asked, leaning against the wall of the arena. My eyes went to Toothless who was sniffing some bales of hay. I almost smiled but rolled my eyes back towards Hiccup who was stuttering over his words. Once again he had no idea how to contain his awkwardness.

"It's just…well, she…I mean. Well, she's kissed me before. If that means anything. Though, we ahh…we haven't sat down and talked about if we're in a relationship yet. I figure it doesn't really matter at this point."

"Why not?" I answered quickly, even though somewhere in my cold heart I felt a burning passion to freeze the shit out of that girl.

She'd never see it coming…

Hiccup laughed a little. "Well, I uhh…I kinda got to thinking that maybe she doesn't really want to be."

I stood there, shocked at his words. "Who wouldn't want…this?" I held my hand out in front of me towards him and he smirked halfheartedly.

"You just gestured to all of me…"

I sighed and put my hand on his shoulder. "I think you're pretty awesome, so..."

His eyes were focused on the floor and mine were searching for contact with them. "But isn't that a little one sided? I am the only person who can see you, after all."

Laughing, I ruffled his hair. "You think that just because you're the only person who can see me, you're just automatically awesome, huh?"

"You did call me special before." He smiled and finally looked up at me.

My heart beat loudly in my chest and I shook my head to rid myself of the fact that I kind of wanted to kiss him. Or something…

Oh my god, I'm such a fucking weirdo.

Instead of giving in to my emotions, I just pushed him away from me and grabbed onto my staff. Whenever I held it, I always felt protected for some reason. It was almost like a safety blanket was to a two year old.

I was about to say something witty when I saw the girl approach us from across the arena. I kind of felt the need to hide, but remembered that I didn't even need to. I could breathe down this chick's back without her knowing. So I stayed firm and watched as she stood a little uneasily in front of my friend.

"Hey, Hiccup."

He looked to me then rolled his eyes towards the girl. "Astrid."

"Uhm, I was kind of wondering if you wanted to go for a run with me. It looks like Toothless could use the exercise. And Storm Fly is just itching to get out of here." She gestured to her dragon that was looking towards the sky.

"Are you calling my dragon fat?" Hiccup put his hands on his hips, but I could tell he wasn't really mad.

Toothless came running over to them and growled lowly at Astrid. It was almost like he understood what they were talking about.

"No! Of course not, Toothless." She rubbed him under the chin and he collapsed. "Just a little chubby."

"Well I'd be up foooorr…" His eyes locked on mine and he bit his lip. It was almost like he was contemplating on changing his mind. I kind of hoped that he would. I didn't want him alone with that girl…I wanted to be the only one who could be alone with him.

I crossed my arms on my chest and raised my chin forward a bit. Even though I wanted to be selfish more than anything…it wasn't like I could tell him no.

He nodded then turned quickly back to Astrid. "Yeah. Wanna leave now?"

She looked confused as hell. I let out a small laugh.

"Uhh…yeah. Hiccup? Are you…?"

"ASTRID! Your dragon is trying to leave without you!" some boy shouted loudly above everyone else's voice.

"Son of a half-troll…" She ran off towards the reptile in an instant then attempted to swoon it back towards her. "Wanna go for a ride, Stormy?"

"I might follow you guys, honestly."

Hiccup turned around to face me then shrugged. "Why am I not surprised?"

"I guess you know me too well?"

"Or you just have nothing better to do."

I raised an eyebrow at him then blew in his face, cold air steaming out of my mouth and snow curling around his nose. "I could always frost your little girlfriend."

He swallowed visibly as Astrid called his name.

"Let's go, Hiccup!"

Blinking a few times, he turned around, tripping a little. "Y-yeah, just a second!"

When he looked at me again he said, while wiping his nose clean of the snow, "She's not my girlfriend." Then hopped on top of his dragon and took off into the sky.

"Whatever you say…" I sighed and leapt into the air, following the two just as I said I would.

x-x

Flying was boring and tiring. The whole time they did tricks and loops on their dragons, laughing and flirting with each other like two birds in love. It was gross. And…I didn't really understand where all the horrid jealously was conjuring up from.

I just kept telling myself it was because Hiccup was really…important to me. People like him didn't come around every hundred years. Besides, I could play all the pranks I wanted on the girl when he wasn't around. The self-gratification of being Jack freaking Frost.

When the two finally landed I was out of breath and causing it to snow. I wasn't in the best of moods.

"It's snowing again…I thought maybe we could get one day without this stuff…" The blonde girl held out her hand and caught one of my snowflakes in it.

The way she said "stuff" made my blood boil. It wasn't stuff. Each one was my own creation. And I took great pride in that.

I twirled my staff in my palm which in turn caused the snow to fall heavier just where she was standing. About five seconds later she was covered in it.

"What the…? Why am I the only one in a snow blanket!?"

Hiccup narrowed his eyes at me and frowned.

"She had it coming," I told him, kicking some snow in her face.

The girl yipped loudly and wiped the snow away. My grin was enormous.

"Jack, cut it out…" The boy whispered to me.

"Who are you talking to?!"

"She yells a lot. I don't know how you can stand that. I never yell at you," I said while balancing my staff on my foot.

He sighed and placed a hand on the girl's back. "It's nothing, Astrid. The weather is really picking up around here. Maybe we should both get home."

"No kidding, Hiccup." She brushed away from him angrily and climbed on her dragon. "See you tomorrow."

Then it was just us two. And Toothless of course who was busy rolling in the snow, creating dragon angels.

My smile soon faded when Hiccup whipped himself around to glare daggers at me. My stomach dropped a little. "What's with the face?"

"She didn't deserve that! You didn't have to drench her like that. And…and kicking the snow into her face was highly inappropriate!"

"Oh jeez, now you're yelling too…" I stuck a pinky finger into one of my ears and frowned. He tapped a foot on the ground and held his stance. "Alright, alright…I'm sorry. I just don't like her."

"At first she can be really rough around the edges, but Astrid is a good person. She's helped me a lot in the past…"

My nose twitched as I narrowed my eyes.

Oh joy…

There was silence for a few moments and then Hiccup finally spoke again. "Are you…jealous of Astrid, by any chance?"

I focused my eyes on a falling piece of snow as I raked my brain for a reasonable answer to that question. No way could I answer that truthfully. No way. No way in hell was I going to…

"I might…be…a little…"

I just can't lie to this kid…

He shook his head and let out a small puff of air which I turned into steam. "You're just like Toothless. He didn't like Astrid at first either."

"I highly doubt I'm ever going to like her," I replied.

He tilted his head a little to the left and asked, "Why not?"

"Because…" I walked closer to him and looked directly into his green orbs. "I don't like to share."

x-x

I had always thought that I liked being on my own. Sure, it got lonely at times and even saddening, but…what was the point? Having all those people surrounding you. Forcing you to live a certain way. Telling you what to do. What to eat. How to dress. Where to go. It seemed suffocating and I wasn't one to wish that kind of suffering on myself. Why would I choose a life of annoyance when I could have a life of solitude and freedom?

I asked myself that same question again for the first time in days as I stared at the sleeping boy. The answer seemed to…morph and change into something else in my mind. Something it had never been before. I don't know if that scared me or gave me some kind of hope.

Hiccup and I had talked again, this time he fell asleep before saying goodnight. But instead of leaving quickly like I had the other night, I stayed for a bit longer and watched the boy sleep. He was still awkward, if not even more so, as he slept. But there was something about his wide open mouth and deep, snore-like breaths that had me smiling.

I eyed the fireplace that was terribly placed in the middle of the room. It basically confined me to the windowsill where I sat, kind of wishing that I could lay down next to him. Maybe…uh, poke his nose or something…

Gritting my teeth together, I stood up and jumped from the window. The thoughts in my head were jumbled and annoying to listen to. Hiccup was…he was my friend. Just my friend and nothing else. Why would I want to be anything else but friends with him anyway?

Why…?

I wanted to block everything out. I wanted to cause a snow storm. I looked up towards the mountains and sighed. After all this time I was still resorting to taking out my anger on others.

Will I ever grow up…?

I spent the night in the mountains once again and in the morning the village ground was covered in almost four feet of snow.

"Hiccup!"

I didn't even think before I ran inside his house and up to that room again.

"Dad…I-I'm fine, really it's just really…cold," the brunette boy was shivering and shaking in his bed while his father threw wood onto the fire.

"Cold nights like those are what's causing the pain, son." He rolled up Hiccup's pant leg. I leaned over him to get a better look, Hiccup's eyes watching me as I did.

"There's a bit of frostbite on this…" his dad said sadly.

I suddenly felt like the shittiest person to ever walk the Earth.

"I did this to you…" I was breathing a little heavy and my eyes were starting to water.

I knew full well that his foot was missing…and yet I still…

"I think I'll be alright, dad." Hiccup smiled at him then locked eyes with me. I wanted to hug him so badly…

So I did. I jumped right through his father and landed on the bed. My arms encased themselves around the boy and I could tell he was a little more than shocked.

Friends hugged…friends hugged, right? This…this wasn't…

I soon let him go for fear of his father noticing anything and the fact that I was probably being a weird friend. I swallowed thickly and his eyes never left me.

"Should I take you to the doctor, Hiccup?" his dad asked.

The dark haired boy just shook his head though. "Haven't you seen it outside? We would get lost in that snow."

His father stood up and put two large hands on his hips. "I guess you're right about that one. Just stay in bed and close to the fire. I'll go bring more wood up."

The man left and I rubbed the back of my head with my fingers. "Sorry…I'm so sorry, Hiccup."

"Ahh…don't be. I'm way too strong for something like this to faze me!" He flexed nonexistent muscles and I finally smiled.

But it soon faded as I thought more about what I had done. "Does…it hurt bad?"

His eyes turned soft and he rubbed his knee. "Honestly…yes. I hate it. It's like having some kind of foreign object on my body that just doesn't belong there…"

I took a deep breath then said, "I want to know what happened, Hiccup…"

That was when his father returned with the fire wood. He didn't stay long though, but he made sure that the fire was big and warm enough for his son before leaving once again.

When we were both alone again I was perched on the windowsill and he had shifted towards the edge of the bed, the fire drawing him closer while it pushed me away.

He started talking about a war. The dragon and human war that had raged on and on for centuries on Berk. He told me about finding Toothless and training him. About how there was the "dragon's nest" where the queen lived. Apparently…he lost his foot while saving his village from the thing.

"That sounds like one hell of an adventure…" I finally said after he was done telling his tale.

He nodded, bobbing his head up and down. "I don't regret what I did…but I kind of wish this hadn't happened." He gestured to his leg and frowned.

"At least you didn't lose more than that…"

"That's…one way to look at it."

The fire crackled and popped and I was starting to sweat. I didn't want to leave though…it was barley noon and I hadn't gotten my…Hiccup fix yet.

Or…whatever…

"Is the fire too hot for you?" he asked thoughtfully.

"I can handle it," I told him while squinting though the flames from across the room. It was almost like the sun had migrated into his room for the day. I felt the energy slowly draining out of me.

I almost wanted to bring the snow into his room…

The door opened then and both our eyes stared shocked at the blonde girl who smiled at my best friend.

I instantly felt the need to blast her with the coldest wind imaginable so that she would fly right back through the damn door she came in.

"Heya," she waved and walked towards the boy who let her sit on his bed. Something that I had wanted to do for the past two days she could just easily do without even thinking about it.

Damn her.

"What are you doing here? Did you not see the snow outside?"

"You forget that I have a dragon too, Hiccup. Besides, I told you that I would see you today. Can't go around lying all the time, right?"

I grunted and coughed loudly, trying to make my disgust as blatant as possible.

Hiccup looked at me then laughed little. I smiled at that. "Thanks, Astrid."

"Thanks, Astid," I mocked him in a high, pitchy voice.

He sighed heavily and continued talking to her. I didn't pay much attention to them, mostly just to the fact that I was seriously in need of some snow around my flesh. When I finally couldn't take it anymore, I spoke to him, "Hiccup. I need to get out of here. It's…getting too hot."

He nodded a little, not too noticeably. Maybe he wasn't even listening to me anymore. I growled and stood next to the bed. "Hiccup. I don't like you two being alone together."

The boy laughed at something she had said and in an angry rage I lifted my staff and knocked it on the top of his head.

"Ouch!"

"Are you listening to me?"

"Yes!"

I stepped back a little in shock of his loud voice. I was upsetting him.

Of course I am…

I bit my lip roughly and jumped out the window once again without a second glance.

x-x

"I'm so stupid! Ahhh!" I ran frustrated fingers through my hair as I collapsed into the snow, kicking it up around me so that if anyone walked by it might look like the wind was blowing it up.

I had found a slightly less snow covered area; the forested part of the island wasn't hit so hard. So I lay under a tree with my hands behind my head and thought about what had just happened.

"I don't understand why he makes me like this…"

"Who are you talking about, exactly, Jack Frost?"

When I turned around I saw darkness and my eyes strayed out of focus. I knew that voice though…only one being in the world sounded as cunning and evil as he did.

"Pitch…"
