So, I just want you to know that regular updates probably won't happen. I'm back in school now, and I'm working a lot because my boss is in India. Anywhoo, yes, there is underaged drinking. That is why I am now boosting the rating up to T, if it already isn't there. It should, they all swear like there's no tomorrow... Whatever. Enjoy!

Chapter 2

March

"Honestly Hiccup, you don't have to come with me." Astrid said. She and her brother were walking into 'Yetis', a nightclub that was supposed to be closed at this time. It was open, however, because the owners' son was holding auditions for the lead vocal in his band. Astrid, who was friends with the whole band, decided to try out on their request. Hiccup was just tagging along because he had nothing better to do.

"I want to." Hiccup said. They entered the main room, which had an empty bar to the left, booths in the back an a little to the right. In the middle was an dance floor, and at the front was a stage, green curtains down. Chairs were set up on the dance floor, and several people were sitting, waiting for their chance to be called.

"Wally! Get back here!" A familiar voice called out as Wally and Scarlet ran out from a hallway beside the stage. Wally was in the lead, running with Scarlet's worn and town notebook in her hands. They stopped when they saw Hiccup, Wally immediately handing Scarlet back her notebook.

"Hiccup?" Wally said as she ran towards the boy, Scarlet following close behind. "Are you trying out for the lead vocals?"

"No! Um Astrid is. Astrid, this is Wally and Scarlet. Guys, this is my big sister Astrid." Hiccup did introductions, then looked back at his friends. "Are you guys here for auditions?"

"Hell no!" Scarlet said. "I'd never try for Jack's band! Then I'd have to listen to what he says!"

"But we'd get to hang out with Aster all the time..." Wally trailed off. She shook her head though, erasing that train of thought. "We can get you in before the others." She said, looking up at Astrid. "Tooth put us on 'bringing-in' duty."

"Good idea Wally!" Scarlet high0fived her friend. In the few weeks Hiccup had known the girls, he had learned that Scarlet high-fived for the most random of reasons. Wally put up with it, always a soft smile on her lips. Hiccup forgot about all of this as soon as Scarlet left, expecting for the others to follow.

They entered the hallway that Wally and Scarlet originally emerged from. It was dark, and the walls were lined with autographed photos of bands that Hiccup assumed had once played there. Eventually, they reached a door with the words, 'Green Room' written on it. Scarlet walked right in, not knocking or anything.

"If you're an asshole to Astrid, Jack, I will kill you. Got it?" Scarlet said. "She's Hiccup's big sister, treat her special."

There were three older teens seated on a couch, facing an open mic. The first one was short, with golden blonde hair spiked out randomly. His cheeks were chubby, rosy, and in a smile. His hazel eyes sparkled with happiness and wisdom. The second was a tall, broad shouldered young man. with tattoos on his arms, and a headband holding back his wavy, silver hair. His green eyes were watching Wally with a lazy smile in his lips. The third was a girl. Her eyes were actually pink, lined with colourful make-up to match her coloured pixie cut. She immediately stood up when Astrid walked in, going over to say 'hi' and to chat.

"Astrid's out friend too, dipshit!" A deep voice called from another room. A young man walked in from a doorway. His hair was white as snow, spiked up in random places. It looked so soft, like running your fingers through it would be like touching a cloud. His eyes were a mischievous blue, fitting his handsome, chiseled face perfectly. "Oh, hey/" He said when he saw Hiccup and Astrid. His eyes traveled over Hiccup, almost like he was checking him out. "So, you're this Hiccup Scarlet keeps talking about.

"Y-yeah." Hiccup lowered his head in a blush. He had never seen someone so, exotic looking. It made him feel weird inside.

"Cool. Don't know how you put up with Scar. Wally's epic, but Scar..."

"Fuck you, asshole." Scarlet gave him the finger. "Hiccup, that's my big brother, Jack. He's the biggest jerk you'll ever meet." Jack just made a face at Scarlet, then motioned for Astrid to come with him to the mic. "That's Tooth, Wally's sister." she pointed to the girl with colourful hair. "That's Sandy." The short teen waved. "And Aster." Hiccup was sure he heard Wally sigh quietly when Scarlet mentioned the silver haired teen. "Jack, we're disappearing."

"Whatever." Jack waved his sister off. The younger three teenagers went into the room that Jack had come out of. Hiccup looked over his shoulder, trying to be sly about it. His eyes caught Jack's who was doing the exact same thing from his seat on the couch.

"Hey, Hic, you coming?" Wally said from where ever she was. Hiccup hadn't even noticed that he stopped.

With a blush, Hiccup hurried off towards his friend's voice. "Sorry Wally. Got lost thinking."

It was one in the morning before Hiccup really got the chance to realize what had happened. He was sitting in Scarlet and Jack's kitchen, talking quietly with Wally and Jack. The others had long fallen asleep, Aster and Sandy taking the couch and arm chair in the living room. Both guest rooms were occupied by Astrid or Tooth, and Scarlet was in her room, having given up on waiting for Wally and Hiccup to become tired.

"I don't know Jack," Wally was saying while Hiccup was lost in his mind. "I think you guys should go for it. I mean, how many more chances like this are you going to get?"

"None. But we won't get in."

They were discussing and upcoming contest. Three bands from their area would be picked to go down to California for a 'jam'. The winner would get a contract with a recording company. Anyone else would have jumped at the opportunity. Not Jack though. He was much more careful than Hiccup would have expected.

"Why not? You guys are the best! Just imagine beating the Nightmares. Can't you see the look on Pitch's face when you win?"

Jack smiled, seeing Wally's vision. Though he had no idea who this 'Pitch' was, Hiccup still smiled. Maybe Jack's happiness was just contagious.

"You win. I'll talk to the others in the morning. We can even film the video tomorrow, it's Saturday." Jack sighed. "You know, we should be getting to bed."

Wally jumped off the counter, grabbing her's and Aster's empty cooler bottles. She walked across the kitchen to grab Tooth and Astrid's, even taking Sandy's forgotten bottle too. Jack took his and Scarlet's. They dropped them off in the sink on their way out.

"Coming Hiccup?" Jack stopped on the first step. He waited for the boy as he too put his empty bottle in the sink, the rushed to catch up. They didn't go up right away, just stood on the stairs, facing each other. They were so close. Hiccup could feel Jack's heat. It sent flutters though his chest, and took his breath away. "You don't have to stay in Scar's room." Jack said, a sly smile on his lips. Hiccup's stomach twisted.

"Where else would I stay?"

"My room's always open..." Jack's eyes gleamed in the lack of light, sending another shock through Hiccup's heart.

"Scarlet showed me your room. There's no space on the floor for another person to sleep."

Jack leaned in towards Hiccup, pinning him by placing both hands on the railing. If it had been anyone other than Jack, Hiccup had a feeling he would have pushed away. But it was Jack, and he didn't want to push away. "My bed is big enough for the both of us."

With a blush, Hiccup lowered his head, mumbling, "I-I, um, well. Scar and Wally a-are expecting me. I-it'd be r-rude to disappoint them." Despite what Hiccup was expecting, Jack's smile, which Hiccup had to admit was quite sexy, didn't falter. If anything, it grew.

"Jack, are you hitting on Hiccup?" Wally stood at the top of the stairs. Hiccup was sure she was some sort of an angel. Not that he didn't enjoy the proximity of Jack. He did. A lot. He was just unsure how to respond to it without scaring the other boy off or making a fool out of himself. "You've known him for five hours. Five hours."

Jack chuckled, stepping away from Hiccup then running a hand through his hair. Something in Hiccup wanted to grab Jack' s arm and pull him close once again. That something was ignored though, even if it hurt.

"No time like the present." Jack said. He walked up the stairs, ruffling Wally's hair as he passed her. "Night cutie, night Disney." He entered his room, closing the door behind him.

"You were, cutie, right?" Hiccup asked. His voice was too weak. Why did his voice sound so weak?

"Kidding me? Jack's been calling my Disney since I was six."

Hiccup decided something that night when he was snuggled in blankets on the make-shift bed he created on Scarlet's floor. Jack could flirt with him, check him out, and make as many sexual innuendos as he wanted. He wouldn't care, actually, he'd be quite fine with that. Just so long as he didn't call him 'cutie' again. He was not cute.

Oh my gosh it was horrible. I'm sorry :'( Don't hate me for my failure.
