Uhm... so yeah. Second chapter *hides in corner*

Hiccup didn't realize he was staring until Jack coughed uncomfortably. They moved away and the smaller teen looked at his costume again, admiring the handy work. "I like your costume, who are you exactly?" He hoped Jack wouldn't make fun of him but the white haired boy just laughed and shrugged.

"I'm Jack Frost," he made a flourish with his hands. "Watch out," he winked, "I might nip your nose." Hiccup flushed and cursed himself as he just pursed his lips. Now it was Jack's turn to eye him up, taking his time as he hummed under his breath. "I see your costume is homemade," he said.

Hiccup frowned and tugged at his vest, covered with fake fur and sewn by his own hands. "Well, yeah," he mumbled. Now he was the center of attention as the family looked at him. Emma came closer and looked at his lopsided clothes. He wore an old green, long sleeved shirt under his vest and brown pants he aged to look old. To finish it off he wore boots covered with more fur, hoping they didn't look the boots all the girls in his school wore. He wished he had had time to finish a helmet or something that would have given him a better effect. But now he was stuck as is.

"I'm not trying to be mean," Jack held his hands up, "it's very good for a homemade one that's for sure. Is this your first time at Dreamworks?" He flashed a smile and Hiccup wasn't surprised to find perfect teeth.

Hiccup blinked and nodded. "Uh, yeah, what about you guys?"

Tooth pointed down the aisle to a large booth covered with glitter and ribbons. "We're here every year, giving different facts about the tooth fairy and what not." She tugged North's arm, making him bend down to listen to her. "We probably shouldn't leave the booth alone. Can you go watch it for a few minutes, I'll be there soon."

"Of course," North kissed her forehead and left.

"It's a good way for someone to promote their business," Jack snickered. Tooth shot him a look and he smirked. "What? You know it's true."

"I can always take away your weekend pass mister," she warned and Emma laughed behind her hands.

Hiccup brightened, looking at the older boy. "You have a weekend pass?" His emerald eyes lit up as Jack flashed the badge around his neck, making it seem like a first place medal. "And you get it for free?" He asked, awestruck.

"If only," Tooth sighed. "We pay for a booth and get the passes then. But, as Jack said it's a good way to promote business and what not." Jack gave an 'a-ha' while pointing an accusing finger at her and she crossed her arms. "My threat still stands," she said. He quickly quieted and Emma danced around him.

"What about you? Do you have a weekend pass?" Emma asked when she finally stood still, though her arms kept swinging around her sides. She reminded Hiccup of Toothless in many ways.

"No, me and my friends just wanted to see what it was like first. Maybe next year I'll come for the whole weekend." He gave a crooked smile and Jack returned the favor. "But for now we're just wandering for the day."

"That sounds boring," she responded plainly.

"Emma, why don't you go help your father with the booth." Tooth shooed her away and with a reluctant sigh, she slinked away, a trail of feathers following. "Well, maybe Jack could show you to the best spots if you haven't already been to them. How about it Jack?"

"No, you don't need to-"

"Yeah, I'm up for it." Jack cut him off, sapphire eyes on his lanky frame. "I have nothing better to do right now. I can play tour guide." He paused, scratching his jaw line. "Well, if you want me to anyways."

"W-Well, I mean-" Hiccup felt something land on his back and in a flash he was on the floor, gasping for air.

Tooth covered her mouth. "Oh my," she murmured.

"Hiccy!" Toothless tugged at his brother's hair, snarling and growling as if he were a real dragon. "Let's go around some more, this Viking place is boring." He stopped to look up at Jack and Tooth who were staring intently at the siblings. "Who are these people?"

Hiccup finally managed to roll the boy off and stand, brushing his pants off. "They were talking with me until you rudely decided to drop in. Literally," he muttered. Astrid came jogging soon after, Fishlegs panting behind. "I thought you guys were taking care of this little monster?"

"Sorry, he ran off and I thought he went back to the dragons." Astrid wiped her forehead, eyes glancing at Jack before going back to Hiccup. "I see you made those weird friends like I said to."

"Ah, Jack, Tooth these are my friends, Astrid and Fishlegs," Hiccup motioned to them.

Jack nodded in acknowledgement. "You guys sure have some weird names, Hiccup? Fishlegs?" Hiccup and Fishlegs looked at each other then, not sure what he was getting at.

"They're just nicknames," Hiccup explained. Toothless moaned loudly, trying to show how truly bored he was. "And this little demon child is my brother Toothless."

"Alright, now these nicknames are getting ridiculous." Jack planted one hand on his hips and Tooth just sent him a warning look.

Hiccup looked at Toothless who bared his teeth in anger. "His real name is Furvus but he doesn't like to be called that." At his real name Toothless punched Hiccup's arm, though it did nothing to stun the teen.

"Hiccy's real name is Hamish!" The boy yelled and Astrid quickly clapped a hand over his mouth, trying to keep him from drawing even more attention to them. Jack just laughed, throwing his head back and chuckling. He seemed to be amused by the group of con-goers.

"It's not that funny," Hiccup muttered, glaring at his brother.

Jack shook his head, wiping the corner of his eye. "No, no, I think it's adorable." Astrid's eyes met Hiccup's and she pursed her lips while he simply looked away.

"Well, Jack if you're going with them, we'll be at the booth and if not just head to the hotel room yourself." Tooth patted the boy's shoulder as she was leaving. "You have your key right?"

"Yup," Jack patted his pocket.

"Alright then," she turned to the others. "It was nice meeting you all. I hope you have fun! And remember to floss!" With a flit of her hand she was gone and it was only the teens and Toothless left. They all looked at each other blankly, not sure what to say.

Hiccup kicked at the floor and glanced around. "So, ready to lead the way oh mighty Jack Frost?" He gave a crooked grin and Jack narrowed his eyes playfully.

"Ready when you are Hiccy," he used Hiccup's nickname given to him by Toothless. Now Astrid was blatantly looking at Hiccup with her eyebrows raised. The brunette teen could only shrug and give a 'what can you do about it' look.

Jack moved through the crowd, looking over his shoulder every few minutes to make sure they were still following. Though, Toothless had a tendency to wander away, Astrid kept him on track, as well as pulling Hiccup aside before they came to their first stop. Much to her luck Fishlegs was preoccupying Jack with questions, giving her time to speak to the skinny teen. "Hey, what's going on here?" She asked.

"A tour, I think," Hiccup replied easily. Astrid smacked his arm and he winced. "What?"

"I said to make friends, not flirt," she whispered in case someone would hear them." Her clear blue eyes met Hiccup's as he shook his head wildly. "Don't deny it; I saw the way you two were talking. Hiccup, there are some weird people here and I would not advise that you hit on them."

Hiccup shifted in place, becoming uncomfortable. Almost everyone in Berk knew about his 'preferences', so to speak, but nobody really paid any mind to it. He was even sure his parents knew, though they never decided to bring it up in a conversation, thank goodness for that. Astrid and Fishlegs were the only two people he actually came out to, both accepting it as a part of the scrawny boy's personality.

"I wasn't hitting on anybody Astrid, in fact, I was trying to get away to get back to you guys." He explained, technically not lying. "Besides, you don't even know if he's gay, I mean, for all we know he could be married and have children." Okay, so he was going wildly out with these assumptions, but so was Astrid who gaped at him.

"Hiccup, from what I've learned in life and on the internet, all the good men are either gay or married, and he looks way too young to be married." She motioned to Jack slightly who was still busy with Fishlegs and even with Toothless who managed to stand still for a moment. "I saw the way you looked at him, don't you lie to me."

Hiccup bit his lip, trying to get around her questions. Okay, yes, he had been staring. Mainly for the costume, but also for Jack's amazing beauty. Not many people in Berk were good looking, so it was rare to find someone so attractive. It wasn't his fault the human mind was easily distracted by pretty, shiny things. "I like his staff," he said simply.

Astrid let out a low, sarcastic laugh. "Which one?"

Hiccup clenched his jaw, not finding her words comforting. "I'd appreciate it if you'd stop making large assumptions about my love life. It's not as exciting as you're making it seem." It was true; Hiccup had never been in a relationship, unless you counted the one where there was a rumor going around for a week that he and Astrid were dating.

Astrid had quickly put a stop to that.

"I'm just saying that you should watch out on who you try and pick up; there are some freaks out there." Astrid's tone turned soft, a rare moment when she became like a sister to the boy. "I don't want to see you get hurt," she added.

"I understand and trust me, he's not getting all this," he motioned to himself, "without buying me dinner first." Astrid laughed lightly.

"What about dinner?" Toothless ran up, hooking himself onto Hiccup's arm. "Are we going to eat Hiccy?" He smiled brightly hoping the answer would be in his favor. It was getting close to lunch time and Hiccup was feeling slightly hungry.

"I could go for some food," Fishlegs came back to the group with Jack behind him. "Jack, do you know where we can go to eat?"

Jack stopped for a moment, leaning on his staff for thought. "Let's see, well, there's the concession stand over on the other side of the convention center," he hummed for a moment, "or you could go to some of the restaurants outside."

"I don't think concession stand food is even allowed to be called food," Astrid blanched. "I vote restaurants." She was slightly worried though about the looks they would get as they traveled out in their costumes.

Fishlegs nodded, raising his hand slightly. "Restaurants"

Toothless frowned and let go of his brother, crossing his arms. "I want concession stand."

"Okay, well, that's already two to one, Hiccup?" Jack's sapphire eyes met Hiccup's emerald ones. "You can tie it or rule the winner, take your pick."

Hiccup felt like he was on fire with Jack staring at him, it didn't help that Astrid was gazing daggers at him as a blush crept up his neck. "I'm sorry Toothless, but restaurants seem like a better idea." His younger brother's frown deepened and he stomped a few feet away, moping by himself. "I'll get you whatever you want buddy, my treat!"

"Really?" Toothless glanced over his shoulder, eyes frighteningly bright. Hiccup nodded and the boy came running back, hugging him tightly. "Thanks Hiccy."

Hiccup turned to Jack. "Are you going to join us?" If Astrid had a wish right there she would have wished she could shoot laser beams at the boy with her eyes.

"If it's alright with you guys. I don't want to intrude." Jack swung his head lazily to one side, another crooked grin gracing his features. "I'd feel like I'd be imposing."

"Well yes-"

"It'd be fine, don't worry. I'd like to hear more about Jack Frost and his mythology." Fishlegs cut off Astrid's reply and she pursed her lips in anger. "You can show us which restaurant is good around here."

Astrid looked at Hiccup and then to Fishlegs, her eyes saying: 'I can't believe this'. Hiccup laughed and shrugged in response. "Alright, so let's get going." Toothless cheered as Jack began to walk, leading them to the exit.

Astrid and Hiccup lagged behind, her face showing she was anything but happy. He nudged her shoulder with his, trying to cheer her up. "Hey, it could be worse," he said.

Her frigid gaze caught his. "How so?"

His eyes happened to fall on the back of Jack's head every now and then, finding the white hair was sort of like a beacon. "He could be a pedophile and leading us to his van," he joked. Astrid smacked her hand against his chest, but he caught the hint of a smile on her lips as they continued through the con.
