It was getting dark out, and Hiccup was tired. But Jack didn't want the fun to end. They walked to Hiccup's house; Toothless in tow. They got to the door and Hiccup turned Jack. He looked a little embarrassed.
Is he blushing? No, can't be.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Hiccup asked hopefully.
"Sure, kiddo," Jack tousled Hiccup's hair.
"Kiddo?" Hiccup laughed.
That laugh…
"Yeah, kiddo," Jack nudged Hiccup's shoulder. They both laughed. "Okay, so, I'll just get going… I guess." Jack started to walk; hoping to see the boy again soon.
"Uh, Jack?"
"Hm?" Jack turned around. His staff on his shoulders; hand in his pocket. He had a sad smile on his face.
"Would you… would you like to stay here for the night?" Jack gave him a simple smile and nodded. They walked in going up stairs. Hiccup sat on his bed, awkwardly. Jack looked around. It was a pretty boring room, but Jack didn't mind. As long as he got to spend time with the one person who can see him. Visible in Hiccup's eyes. Hiccup patted the stop beside him. Jack complied, sitting next to him. They ended up lying next to each other; talking for hours. It went quite after Jack started to tell his story about waking up in a frozen lake.
"Hiccup?" he felt the figure next him shift and cuddle up next to him. Hiccup's arms wrapped around Jack's waist.
Uhm, uh, uh, ah, yep, okay, um.
Jack was blushing. He felt warm. Not the sickly warm, but the addictive warm. Warm in Hiccup's arms.
