Okay, sorry for the age mix ups... here's how it is:

Hiccup-15

Astrid-15

Fishlegs-15

Toothless-12

Emma-12

Jack-18

Everyone else I have yet to actually decide... But Hiccup and his friends are various ages of fifteen. Sorry if anyone got confused.

But another character is introduced~

Jack had showed them around some more, showing them to booths and even amazing photo shoots that were going on around the con. When it was getting close to five, Toothless seemed ready to fall asleep right there on the floor, leaning against Hiccup to stay up. Even Astrid and Fishlegs seemed to lag behind the older teen. He noticed their sluggishness and stopped near an empty wall, leaning against it casually. "You guys seem really tired, how long are you planning on staying?" He asked as they all collapsed to sit on the floor.

"Well, me and Toothless are probably going to head home soon, I have school work to do and he has to finish a science project." Hiccup was looking at the floor when he spoke, afraid to catch Jack's gaze again.

Astrid nodded and leaned back. "Yeah, I have an essay due on Monday that I haven't even started." She sighed, hanging her head. "So much for relaxing."

"I've already finished all my homework," Fishlegs shrugged. The other three glared at him and he shrank back, twiddling his fingers nervously. "It's not my fault you guys don't do your homework Friday night like me. It's easier and leaves the weekend open."

Jack grinned and crossed his arms. "So that means you guys aren't going to make it to the rave tonight? It's awesome." The group at his feet blinked, not responding right away. "It's a giant dance with a bunch of sweaty people in costumes throwing glow sticks around. You really should come."

Hiccup made a face. "As tantalizing as that sounds, I'm going to have to pass." There was a round of agreement and strangled moan from Toothless who was barely awake anymore. "I'm not one for sweaty dancing and getting smacked with glow sticks."

Jack gave a small pout when Hiccup looked up momentarily. "I wanted to dance with you though." The young teen blushed furiously, biting his lip as he looked away again. He had been trying to avoid staying close to Jack through the rest of the tour, finding it was getting harder to have conversations when the college boy always found a way to flirt.

"Sorry, but Hiccup's got two left feet. You wouldn't have been able to dance with him anyways." Astrid nudged her elbow in the small teen's side and he yelped, moving away. "We should get going." she stood slowly, "thanks for the tour Jack. It was great meeting you." She held out a hand but he just shook his head, opening his arms for a hug. With an eye roll she accepted the gesture.

Fishlegs was next, then a half awake Toothless who practically fell into Jack's arms. They all laughed as the boy just rubbed his eyes wearily and trudged away. Hiccup stood back, running his hands over his arms as he pretended to be interested in a booth. Jack gave a wry grin and approached with his arms spread wide; causing the boy to hunch his shoulders and blush. "Come on Hiccy, everyone else got one. I can't leave you out too."

"Did I mention I'm not one for hugs either?" Hiccup laughed and rubbed the back his head. Jack didn't listen and grabbed the boy by his waist, lifting him up to spin him around. Hiccup ducked his head into Jack's shoulder, screeching to be put down. "I'm serious Jack!" With his legs flailing, Jack finally set him back down, ruffling his hair.

Jack chuckled, his hand lingering on Hiccup's head. "Sorry, I just had to. Alright then. If you guys are going, I was happy to be of service to you." He gave bow and pretended to take off a hat, sapphire eyes sparkling. "May you grace us with your presence next year."

All the goodbyes were said and Fishlegs hauled Toothless onto his back, carrying him out to the parking garage where he called his mom to pick them up. Astrid looked like she was thinking something over when Hiccup nudged her arm with his. "Hey, what's the matter?"

She blinked and turned her eyes to him. "Hm? Nothing, just thinking about how Jack was clearly trying to get your ass in bed." She shrugged and Hiccup frowned. "Kidding. I don't know, I guess I just had a lot more fun than I thought I would." Now he smiled and she stuck her tongue out. "Doesn't mean I'll come back next year. You can handle Mr. Sex Machine on your own."

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Who said I would come back for him?"

"You did," she stated, "when you clearly flirted with him." Hiccup was about to protest, but Fishlegs came over, Toothless asleep on his back.

"She's right you know," he said. Hiccup was glad his brother was sleeping, who knows what he would say later about the conversation. "You guys were pretty close even though you just met."

Hiccup threw his hands in the air out of frustration. "You guys are blowing this way out of proportion; I mean seriously, he's just some guy who happened to show us around. He'll probably forget about us within the next hour or so." He turned his nose in the air and looked across the parking lot. "Besides, he would never be attracted to me."

Astrid caught his neck in her arm, putting him into a head lock. "Aw, Hiccup, don't be so self conscious. I'm sure there's someone out there who would love a skinny, freckled boy like you any day." She rubbed her knuckles across his head. "Or maybe even someone in this convention center."

"Don't," he warned.

"Or maybe even someone dressed up like Jack Frost," Fishlegs added.

"Guys," Hiccup raised his voice, cheeks warm.

Astrid let him go. "Or maybe even someone who was flirting with you all day and hugged you like his life depended on it."

"Stop it!" Hiccup stomped away, seeing Fishleg's mom coming into the parking lot. He got into the car and buckled himself in quickly, glowering as everyone else got in. Fishlegs had to plop Toothless into the back seat where he used Astrid's lap as a pillow immediately.

"So, how was it?" Fishleg's mom drove out onto the street, looking at Toothless through the rear view mirror. "I see he's all tuckered out. Must have been exciting."

"You don't know the half of it," Astrid murmured. Hiccup looked out the window, not wanting to speak in case he would be made fun of again. Fishlegs began to talk about the different cultures and myths, his mother nodding along. Eventually they came to their first stop, Hiccup and Toothless's place. While pulling into the drive way, Astrid shook Toothless awake, his green eyes dull and still filled with sleep.

"Where are we?" He asked, blinking out the window.

Hiccup opened his door and put one foot out, waving to everyone. "Thanks for the ride Ma'am, and thanks for coming guys." They said goodbye and he slipped out, going to the other side to grab Toothless and help him stand.

Astrid leaned out the door before he close it and her blue eyes looked at his seriously. "Text me later, okay?' He nodded and dragged Toothless up the path to the front door, finding it open, he walked in.

Their house was a regular two story home with pretty much anything a family would need. His bedroom was upstairs and Toothless's down the hall, though at this point he would have slept anywhere. The tired boy wandered around aimlessly, taking off pieces of his costume as he went. By the time he was down to boxers his Mom came in from her work room, smiling when she saw her sons.

Val was a slightly larger woman, but she pulled it off well, using her curves to her advantage. Her wild red hair was pulled back into a bun, her light green eyes always bright and full of ideas. She was a jewelry maker and they had a work room for her in the house where she created designs and made them herself. Hiccup had obviously inherited his freckles from her; both of them were covered head to toe in them.

"So, how was it?" She asked, untying the apron around her waist. She set it on a chair, picking up the left over pieces of Toothless's costume. Val supported Hiccup's crazy inventions and ideas, finding it best to let him grow up doing what he loved.

Toothless threw himself onto the couch in the living room. Hiccup stood in the hallway between the living room and kitchen, where his mother stood, putting the costume onto the table. "It was very interesting. A lot of people were there and the booths were awesome too." He didn't want to mention Jack in fear of his parents raising the dreaded question he hoped to avoid until he moved out. "I'd go again next year."

Val smiled and walked over to him, hugging him with one arm. "That's great sweety, I'm glad you had fun." She looked over at Toothless with an amused smile as he snored. "I'm glad he had fun too, at least it'll be quiet in the house tonight."

"So where's Dad?" Hiccup went into the kitchen, grabbing a water out of the fridge. His father was always busy with work; he worked with demolition and building things. It was always a busy job for Stoick who seemed to have his phone glued to his ear whenever he was home.

"In another meeting tonight, so we'll just order pizza or something. Tomorrow he should be home though, considering its Sunday you would think I wouldn't have to question whether my husband will be home for dinner or not." Val placed her hands on her hips, watching as Hiccup nearly drank half the bottle of water in one gulp. "You seem exhausted, why don't you go shower and relax?"

"What?" Hiccup put his water down and pretended to sniff his shirt. "Do I really smell that bad?" Val laughed and went over to him, pushing him gently to the hallway. "Alright, I get it, I stink. I'll go wash up." He laughed too, swatting her hands away jokingly.

He climbed his way up the stairs and went to his room, grabbing a shirt and pajama pants to change into. The bathroom was right across from him, giving him first dibs in the morning before school, which usually ticked off Toothless. Going across the hall, he started the warm water and began to strip, remembering he had his phone in his pocket. As he reached to get it, some else met his touch and he frowned, sure of himself that he didn't put anything else in there.

It was the receipt from the restaurant they ate at, but he could have sworn Jack had thrown it away with all their garbage. He unfolded it and found, in bright red marker across its surface, writing.

Hey, you guys seem really awesome. I'd love to talk more about this stuff with you. Here's my number, don't be afraid to text. I don't bite ;)

And as promised, underneath was a phone number and the infamous XOXO. Hiccup flipped it over as if it would make a difference, just finding the marker bleeding through the thin paper. "When did he…" The hug. He must have shoved it in Hiccup's pocket when he was lifting him up and swinging him around.

For some reason Hiccup's stomach did an odd flip as he reread the note, his cheeks heating. He folded the paper neatly and put it with his phone, biting his lip as he stepped into the shower, trying to let the warmth take over his mind before he would do something stupid.

It was ten at night and Hiccup was staring at his phone, he cursed himself for being so weak. He had already put in Jack's number but he didn't dare text him, did he? Would he seem too desperate if he texted right away? Was this all just a joke? How could someone as beautiful as Jack be even the slightest bit attracted to Hiccup? Well… just because he gave him his number doesn't mean he's attracted. Guys become friends all the time.

And only that.

"I mean, he's probably just being friendly. There's no harm in it, right?" Hiccup picked up his phone scrolling through the contacts. He found Jack's name and his heart stuttered. He typed slowly, as if each letter had to be perfect for he would send it.

After a good five minutes of typing and deleting, he finally settled on something simple.

Hey, it's Hiccup. You gave me your number.

Before he could delete it again, he sent it, along with the slightest hope. He had to remind himself that he was probably always going to be 'just a friend' to a lot of people. It didn't bother him since the people in Berk weren't people he wanted to date. Jack was cute, sure, but Hiccup didn't really know anything about him. "Well, that's why you text people," he reminded himself quietly.

His phone vibrated and he froze, wondering if it was Astrid. He hadn't texted her since he was so preoccupied with Jack. He unlocked it and he sucked in a breath. No, it was Jack. He opened the message and his fingers trembled slightly, not sure what Jack was playing at.

Hiccy! I've been waiting for you to text me all night!

So yeah... I went to Acen, an anime convention and I flipped shit cause there was a whole bunch of Jack Frost cosplays, I also saw about two Hiccups. Needless to say I was drooling. I like to say I went for inspiration for my fanfic but that would be a semi-lie. So many of my people. So many.

If of any of you guys went to Anime Central I'd love to hear how your visit went. Who knows, maybe we saw each other and never knew :o

Kisses and unicorns
