Disclaimer: Still, these characters aren't mine. This is the last time I'll say it!
Author's Note: This chapter has some action and drama in it again! And maybe some romance? Romance for whom, you'll see. It's more than one pairing! Those smaller paragraphs you see in this? That's thanks to my co-author. She did help though.
Alice sneered as she heard the sound of obnoxious laughter coming from down the hall. "Oh great." She looked over towards the sound. "The 'pretty boy jocks' are here. Pathetic," she scoffed. It was after school and the group was hanging around their lockers for a bit. They had all been threatened with detention again and again, but none of them paid it any mind. Pan raised an eyebrow, all four seeing Hans Westerguard.
"Aren't they just admirable?" Jack ran a hand through his white hair as he spoke. Sarcasm dripped from his voice as he spoke. None of them liked Hans. In fact, they hated him. He was snobby and greedy, yet almost everyone loved him. "Why does everyone like him? He looks like a mutt, just like Hiccup. And he's a complete ass to everyone, yet people see him as perfect." All four laughed, seeing Hans' attention direct towards them.
"Care to say that to my face?" Hans sneered, his group of friends cheering him on. He watched Peter scoff, giving him an offhand grin. Hans rolled his eyes, feeling no threat from Pan. Yet. "What are you staring at?" He snapped, crossing his arms in front of Pan.
"A teenager acting like a child, it's rather unattractive." Peter's teasing tone never left his voice, but all four knew what he said was very true.
"Says the scrawny pipsqueak who can't get a lover to save his life." Hans' friends all laughed, starting to taunt Peter. Pan snapped at him, saying no one messes with him and gets away with it. The group of jocks laughed harder at that, not expecting Peter to go to punch Hans. Hans stumbled back from the punch, instinctively going to punch him back. Felix's eyes darted to Pan and he grabbed him, pushing him back. He grabbed Hans' fist, looking at him with his signature poker face. He didn't show emotion to others often, unless they were close.
"You need to realize something. May take time but…Peter Pan never fails." The second punch was quick, straight into Hans' stomach. "You don't know who you're getting involved with." Pan laughed, looking back to Jack and Alice. Hans was foolish to try and fight them. Jack moved to the front of the group, stepping on Hans' chest to keep him down.
"Chill out, Westerguard. We're just here to play. And you've just become part of the game." The group of four burst into a mocking laughter as they ran off, leaving Hans there on the floor, yelling after them.
"Screw you all! I'll get you back, you hear me?!"
Jack sat in the back of the detention room with the other three, feet perched on the desk in front of him. Miss Potts came into the room and sat down, looking around at the group of students in front of her. "I'm surprised you four actually showed up."
"We had nothing better to do, so we thought we'd come here. What better to do than fuck this up?" Pan sat on top of Felix's desk, smiling wickedly at Miss Potts. He watched her take a deep breath, trying not to get mad. She was a very kind, older lady and she rarely got mad. Even at kids like this. While Jack and Alice were facing forward, Peter turned his body around to face Felix. He gave him a grin, leaning over. "I'm coming over later. You owe me from before," he whispered in his ear, kissing behind it swiftly before pulling back and turning around on the desk. He leaned over to Jack. "We have to get out of here. When is that old hag going to fall asleep?" He said in a hushed tone.
"Soon, you know that. Once she does, we're out of here." Jack turned to him, grinning. Alice turned her head to them, going on about how she needed a smoke and the hag should be asleep soon. Miss Potts told the group to hush up, all four holding back laughter. They watched her closely and stayed silent. The long period of silence and nothing going on around Miss Potts brought her into a sleepy state, the group soon seeing her fall asleep where she sat. The group looked at each other and grinned, bolting out of the detention room. They never stayed in detention for long when Miss Potts was there. She always fell asleep after a while, giving them an opening to leave. Jack led them outside and sat under a tree with them. Pan leaned back on the ground, lighting a cigarette.
"Finally. I don't know how much more of Miss Potts' old face I could take." Peter took a long drag and shut his eyes. Before any of them could respond and agree, they heard laughing. Two girls and a boy. Pan sat up and looked over. Henry Mills. "What do we have here?" He stood up, walking over. "Three freshmen?" He tossed his cigarette down, crushing it under his shoe. "And just the freshman I was looking for. Henry Mills. Do you know who I am?" He asked, watching the brunette and black haired girls run off as he stood in front of the freshman.
Henry looked up at the other boy, immediately scoffing to look tough. "Who are you supposed to be?"
"You'll find out eventually. You act like you run this place. You're a freshman. And you need to learn who really runs this school."
"This isn't a monarchy Pan, and if it was, a bunch of immature juniors wouldn't run it anyway," a voice scoffed. The group of four turned around to see Hiccup with his arms crossed. Elsa was behind him, shaking her head in disappointment and holding Anna back from punching them.
"Pan would always rule. Who would ever do it better?" Felix stepped forward, staring down at Hiccup who was significantly shorter. "Back off." Hiccup glared up at Felix. The boy was intimidating as it is and Hiccup couldn't let his fear be shown.
"You're loyalty to Pan is misplaced, he doesn't care about you Felix. As soon as you're no longer useful to him he'll throw you away like trash. And you know what everyone sees it coming." Hiccup gave him a raised eyebrow, "Why can't you see that Felix? You're a good person deep down, and I don't like seeing good people getting hurt."
Alice and Jack frowned as they saw Pan's fist clench and tremble. Was Pan really effected by what Hiccup said? Why?
"Shut up!" Pan growled, "You know nothing you disgusting little mutt. No one is good inside, they all have dark desires and secrets. Don't pretend that you're a saint because we all know you're not. That's probably why you lost your dear leg isn't it? Ticked off the wrong person and it came back to bite you right?"
Hiccup gave Pan a smile, one that lacked any sense of warmth or caring feeling, "No actually, it wasn't. But you don't need to know what happened, everything about it was a mistake…even talking to the person I was talking to at that moment." Pan's clenched fist raised and the enraged boy was about to start another little fight but was interrupted.
"Shut up Robbie!" a childish voice screamed, and everyone turned to see a short kid yelling at another. The yelling kid had short brown hair and ice blue eyes, and was much smaller than his companion. The other was his complete oppisite; long blond hair and dark blue eyes.
"You're so annoying Kevin. Those kids were bullying you and you didn't even try and defend yourself. Couldn't you kick them in the balls or something? I taught you better than that." The taller grabbed his friend by his hair and lifted him up. It looked very painful. "Remember this, if I ever catch you letting someone walk all over you again I will hurt you much worse than they ever could. I am the only one you need to be scared of. Got it?"
"Robbie stop it!" Kevin teared up slightly.
Elsa heard Jack make some kind of noise and turned. He was holding his head in pain. "Jack?" She whispered to him trying to get his attention but the younger kids weren't done and soon distracted them again.
"You're so weak Kevin." Robbie sneered at him, "Why am I friends with you? You're pathetic." He let go of the kid's hair and let him drop to the sidewalk.
"What's wrong with you?" the group turned startled at Hiccup's scream. He was red in the face, "How dare you hurt another person. You're the pathetic one you little twerp! I would be glad to know Kevin."
"Who asked you twig?" Robbie snapped. He looked Hiccup up and down with contempt.
Hiccup gave another smile, but this one was filled with something he never showed before; he had so much anger, hatred, and sadistic promise. It was obvious that he was only keeping himself from attacking the kid with his will power. The kid stumbled back in fear, his eyes filling with tears at he sight of the skinny senior.
"I'm sorry man, jus-just don't hurt me you freak. Ge-get away!" the kid backed away, "M-mom!" The kid ran the other way screaming the last word. He ran fast for a blubbering mess.
"Wow." Hiccup turned to the other kid who was staring at him with sparkly eyes, "No one has made Robbie scared before! He is, like, fearless!"
Hiccup shook his head, "Nobody is fearless. And you shouldn't let him bully you like that."
The kid whimpered, "But he's my best friend. He only wants me to be happy and stronger."
Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Trust me kid, that's not true. He wants you to depend on him more than air itself. He's making you dependant on him this way. Stand up to him. Understand?" Kevin nodded, running off towards the direction Robbie went in.
"Good riddance. That was a headache," Jack muttered, a lazy grin across his lips. "Hey Hiccup! Nice job scaring little kids. How old are they, twelve? And you're eighteen? How pathetic are you?" Hiccup sent a sharp glare in Jack's direction but it soon faded. "You're just as pathetic as those two, you couldn't just leave it? They would have sorted it out eventuallly and you know it."
Hiccup shook his head, "They were going down a road that almost no one can return from. It's almost as cold and brutal as you Frost."
"Am I suppose to take that as a compliment?" Jack raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Or is that supposed to be a veiled compliment? I have a hard time deciding if you idolize me or hate me."
"I don't hate you, Frost. I loathe the very ground you walk on. You are the very person that symbolizes all the things I hate in life!" Hiccup moved closer to the white-haired boy and glared. He didn't care about the obvious height difference betweeen them, and it didn't seem to matter.
Jack chuckled and looked over at his friends, "I think he has a crush on me, don't you? He's in denial!"
Hiccup only seemed to get angrier, with even more red in his face which only fueled them more.
Alice sung, "Look he's blushing Jack. He's blushing for you. Why don't you give the boy a treat?" She laughed maniacally.
Jack snickered, "What do you think he wants? Pan? Felix?"
Pan laughed, "How about a strip tease Jack? I think the boy needs something to think about later when he's all alone in his room. Let's give him a little gift."
Before Hiccup could even protest, because he was definitely going to protest, he was slammed in the side. And all Hiccup heard from Pan was, "Down you naughty boy."
Felix muttered, "An unrequited crush is painful enough, Pan."
"Are you looking out for him, Felix?" Pan teased, smirking at his partner in crime, "And here I thought you were only loyal to me?"
"I am Pan, I was just saying that if we're going to bring up his unreturned love we should give him something. Jack should be the one to punch him, Hiccup will be grateful Jack touched him at all." When the blond said this he stiffened as Pan leaned on him.
"That's good." Pan snickered, "I don't like disloyalty. You know that better than anyone."
Jack rolled his eyes, "Yes we all know Pan, can we teach this one a lesson now? He needs to learn his place sometime, and since this is his last year we won't get to play with him next year."
Alice pouted, "Aw, but he is so fun to mess with."
Jack smirked, "Then I guess we have to make sure his last year is more painful than hell." He started to walk away, "Come, come everyone let's go plan Hiccup's new pains. And then his funeral after that."
The others cheered and laughed mockingly, running off as they did before.
Hiccup groaned, and muttered, "Welcome to Hell."
