Suddenly a bang on the door interrupts the Hiccup and Jack on the couch. The bangs made the two separate quickly and the door opens, there's two guys standing at the door. The two ignore Jack and go over to Hiccup, giving him a high five and a fist pump.
"Dude, where've you been?!" The blonde guy from earlier says. Grabbing Hiccup's hair and playfully making it messier. The other boy takes a sit in between Jack and Hiccup, glancing over at Jack, slowly.
"Who's the nerd?" He says eyeing Jack. Face getting closer to inspect the foreign object in the place. Jack wasn't the typical person you'd see in a place like that. Hiccup grabs the boy's hoodie and tugs him away from Jack.
"That's Jack..he's cool" Hiccup was reassuring the two. He got up and strolled to the door. motioning the others to follow. Jack quickly stumbles up and follows the blonde as the three started to leave. He glanced around to look at the people in the underground club. They all looked like Punks. One girl with a pink pixie-cut hairstyle, another guy with a black faux mohawk, everyone here had a different shade of dye in their hair. Jack didn't feel so out of place other than his clothes.
He slowly pushes against the small groups and sits down next to Hiccup at the bar. Hiccup's talking to the other two guys and ignores jack for a while. Jack still absorbed in his surroundings doesn't notice the cup set in front of him. The bartender hands him some water. Jack takes it appreciatively. He's thirsty and warm, the water was freezing and hit the spot. A hand touches his own and he looks up. It's Hiccup's, he get close and whispers in Jack's ear.
"Drink a lot of water, after this I'll take you back home" Hiccup says quickly, giving a short smile. He pulls his attention back to the guy's and directs their attention Jack.
"This guy's my Lab Partner, he's gonna hang out with us this weekend" Hiccup tells the two. They look over Hiccup's shoulder and look at the lanky pale teen gulping water down like a pro. They look back at Hiccup and give him a disbelieving look.
"He can't hang, just look at him. Just makes me want to punch him" The boy was bulky. He had a buttoned pig nose and messy straight hair.
"Shut up Snotlout!, He's hanging. I'll punk him up, he'll look fine." Hiccup glares him down, and snotlout just huffs and stays quiet. The other blonde teen snickers and walks over to Jack.
"Yeah come on Snotlout, just give him some black clothes and he'll fit in!" The boy ruffle's Jack's hair and smiles dumbly at him. Jack flails his arms at the sudden physical contact.
"You like rock?" The blonde asked him. Hiccup looks and wonders the same thing.
"Um..I guess." Jack squeaked. It's not like he didn't really have a taste for the loud noise of rock, but liked more of alternative style rock music. He didn't feel like explaining the difference to the other boys. He wanted to know what was going to happen on the weekend.
"Cool cause all four of us are going to like a big concert, but everyone's an amatuer and are just awesome and I can't fucking wait!" The blonde started to thrash his hair and make a rock symbol with his hands. Hiccup and Snotlout rolled their eyes but laughed at his enthusiasm.
"Don't mind him Jack, Tuffnut get's a little excited sometimes." Hiccup said grabbing his hand and started to get up.
The four stayed for a few of hours. Hiccup, Snotlout, and Tuffnut were talking about the big concert and were contemplating to whom would bring the brownies and drinks. Jack's ears perked at the sound of brownies. He asked if he could bring the brownies, and Hiccup chuckled and told him "I got it covered". Jack was really enjoying himself. The boys started to warm up to him and even got his number, telling him to text him whenever he wanted to hang. Jack's never had so many guy friends. Friends were hard to come by and he couldn't help feeling a part of something. Like a group. It took a while but eventually the boy's sobered up and decided to leave.
"Text me, I gotta take this guy home" The boys gave a head nod and handed Jack a bottle of water. They could tell how trashed he looked prior, and snickered at the pink cheeks against his platinum hair. The probably knew that Jack never drank before. The two made their way to the back exit and slipped out, another man was guarding the back, he handed them their helmets. Hiccup thanked him and kept walking back to his ride. Jack's ears seemed to ring at the silence of outside. His eyes were adjusting to the light, blinking rapidly to figure out what time it was. Hiccup looked over to his partner and nudged him to hurry.
Driving home, it looked still early, maybe around 3pm. Jack was a little relieved school was over by that time. He didn't want to go anyways, he still felt light headed and wanted to take a nap. Jack told Hiccup to make a left and nuzzled his hair. He couldn't explain why, whether it was the drink or his mind being slow, but he really started to like the way this felt good. Riding in a motorcycle and hanging out with the punk, and his friends. They might be stupid at school, but they weren't bad to be around.
When they made to Jack's house, Hiccup parked it in the driveway. It was an average looking two story townhouse and cute front yard. A small garden surrounded the walkway to the door and Jack told Hiccup he could come in.
Once inside, Hiccup went over to the living room couch and sat on the leather couch. Jack awkwardly sits next time him and tries to avoid eye contact.
"Hey Jack.. I'm.. sorry bout.. you know" Hiccup says while looking around. Jack's eyes widen at the thought of what happened in that back room. They were both drunk and horny and it was really embarrassing for Jack to think about. Hiccup notices Jack's face and quickly tries to get his mind away from it.
"Look. I want us to forget about what happened there. I want this weekend to be a fresh start okay?" Hiccup scooted closer to the blushing nerd. He wrapped an arm around his shoulders and squeezed tightly.
"I don't want you to think I'm all about sex, and I just want to set this straight. Those rumors you hear about at school. All lies!" Hiccup's words were fast and he looked into Jack's eyes with all seriousness.
"But what about.. those girls" Jack tried to start but Hiccup quickly cut him off with a gentle kiss on the nose.
"I've only kissed one girl, her name was Astrid. The rumors were just a cover. I'm gay, Jack. " Hiccup the last part like it was obvious. This tough exterior was just a front at school. No one at school would dare call Hiccup gay. They'd lose a tooth before he'd let them get away with that. Jack blinked and realized what his partner just said.
"So.. you're.."
"Gay. I'm Gay. I said it." Hiccup repeated and rolled his eyes at the nerd's slow responses. Jack didn't know what to say. He thought Hiccup was maybe Bi or liked a quick fuck, but not entirely gay.
"So about that tongue ring rumor.." Jack looked at Hiccup for a clarification. Hiccup's cheeks started to change color. He looked to his side
"That started after I got it, the girls thought it was hot. The stories kept changing, but I never.." Hiccup really started to blush. A sigh of relief washes over Jack. It was really just a rumor.
"I really like you Jack" Hiccup look at Jack and hugged him tightly. Jack let the teen squeeze him, even if it was a little too hard. It felt good. He inhaled Hiccup's scent, it smelled like ash, alcohol, and like outdoors. He didn't want to start falling for a guy like this, but he wouldn't mind Hiccup catching him with those arm of his.
"I'm..really excited for this weekend" Jack said in Hiccup's neck. The boy's grip loosened and he went to look at Jack's face. It was red and avoiding eye contact again. His glasses were tilted and falling. Hiccup pushed them up and chuckled lightly. Smiling.
"Yeah.. Me too"
