Chapter 4: Kissing and Teasing

Night came much too soon. Not that I didn't like watching the sunset with him, or playing fetch with Toothless or ever making another snowman. This time with a large smirk and my name written on it—Hiccup's doing.

It was just…I was worried. Night meant Pitch would be on the prowl and Hiccup's wellbeing was once again going to be threatened.

I sighed a little loudly and looked towards the boy beside me. He was drawing a picture of his dragon in the snow with a twig. The noise made him look to me.

"What's wrong?"

My eyes stared into his and once again I realized just how freaking adorable this kid was. I looked at the ground and answered, "Pitch has me nervous…that's all."

"What if he comes tonight? What will happen…?" He finished his drawing then gave me his full attention.

"Hnn…" I thought about what he asked and finally just shrugged my shoulders. "I'll probably beat the shit out of him." He paled slightly and I tilted my head in confusion. "What…?"

"You're going to fight him…?" It was like that shocked him or something.

"Yeah, of course. Gotta keep you safe." I smiled and ruffled his hair gently. "I'll be fine. It's not like I'm defenseless." I held my staff up and waved it in front of us, a little burst of air ran through the snow as I did.

For some reason, what I said didn't really reach him. "You'll get hurt…"

"Maybe a little. It's not like I'll die. Neither of us will…I'll just have to scare him off—"

"You shouldn't get hurt because of me!"

I stared at him in shock. He was worried about me. What an unfamiliar feeling that was. Having someone else actually care about me…It felt…so good. Like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I never even knew that such a powerful emotion existed…

With what breath that I had, I responded, "You shouldn't get hurt because of me either, Hic."

He blew air out through his nose and crossed his arms a little angrily. It was so cute. "You're frustrating…"

My smile grew to an outrageous size as I tackled him to the ground, my hands grabbing each one of his arms. I just couldn't control my excitement. "Stop that." I was still smiling.

The brunette gawked at me. "Stop what?"

"That…" I lowered my head and touched my forehead to his.

"I don't…" He didn't finish. Or…couldn't. Because I finally did it.

I kissed him.

His eyes were wide open when I closed mine and started moving my lips on his. I surely didn't want to push him too far with our first kiss…but my hips were inconveniently placed between his legs. Which made it a little difficult to control myself. I ended up accidentally pressing myself against him, gently but enough to send me over the edge.

Once I did, I felt an overbearing sense of heat erupt through me. Kissing suddenly wasn't enough for me. I had to have more.

I want…all of him. Right now.

I put an icy cold hand onto his side then lifted his shirt up and ran my hand along his stomach.

His unresponsive lips broke with mine when he turned his head. "J-Jack…you're freezing…"

My mouth was dry and I swallowed sharply then unwillingly pulled my hand back and sat up.

Damn it all to hell…

"Let's…let's get you home, alright?" I stood up and held out a hand for him. The look in his eyes was misted over, but I could tell he wasn't angry or confused. Maybe I was just…going too fast for him. Which…was fine. I could wait. Probably…

x-x

"I can't believe you kissed me…" Hiccup said while removing his shirt.

My hungry eyes watched him, scanning his back from my spot on the windowsill. It took me a second to realize what he had said, what with my mind being clouded in perversion. "Uhh…yeah. Sorry about that. Did you hate it?"

He put a night shirt on and I frowned, wishing that he had turned around so I could have seen more than just his back. His brown hair flowed around his head when he shook it back and forth. "No…I never said that."

"Am I better than the girl?" I grinned slightly, raising one eyebrow.

He dropped what he was holding instantly and whipped himself around just to stutter out some strange noises.

I held a limp hand up to my mouth and laughed into it. "You can't even form words. That's gotta mean something, right?"

His features fell and I saw an eye twitch.

"What a cute face."

He then ignored me and walked towards Toothless, whom he said goodnight to. Once he climbed into his bed, I looked at him quickly before crawling in after him.

"Are you nuts?!" Hiccup squeaked as I placed myself behind him and buried my nose into his hair. My arms wrapped around his back and he sighed. "What are you doing…?"

"Just chill. I'll get up in a sec," I told him while slipping my hand up the back of his shirt. Goosebumps covered his skin and I smirked.

"Would you stop touching me?"

"Stop teasing me and maybe I will."

"Teasing?!"

I laughed and licked the back of his neck.

"Jack…"

"Hiccup…?"

I became an ice statue when I heard that voice.

The next time I see her alone, I'm encasing her whole damn body in a block of ice!

I held on tight to the boy even though he was trying to escape. "Astrid? I figured you were mad at me…" He struggled a little in my hold but I wouldn't let him go.

She walked towards the bed and sat down in a chair beside it. "I just want to talk…I want to know what's going on with you. I'm sorry for yelling at you before; I was just scared and upset…"

Great. She's apologizing. Just what I fucking need.

I gripped Hiccup's hip and held tight. "Please don't…"

The brunette sighed and laid still. "If I…if I told you what was really going on you'd never believe me…"

"Show me proof. I don't care, Hiccup. I need to know."

"No she doesn't…she doesn't even believe in me. Tell her to leave," I whispered in his ear.

He growled deeply and sat up against my hold. I got up as well and wrapped my arms around his stomach, eyeing the girl defensively.

"Jack…she's not going to eat me…"

My eyes rolled.

Yeah, whatever…

"Who is Jack…?" she asked him slowly.

Hiccup cleared his throat to speak, "You…you can't see him but he's kind of sitting right behind me. He's…actually Jack Frost, if you can believe that. That's why…well, those things keep happening to you." He turned and looked at me over his shoulder. "He's got a little jealously issue."

I frowned and blew ice in his ear.

The girl blinked a few times when she saw the snowflakes floating around in the room. They melted almost instantly, but the look on her face told me she wasn't as stupid as I thought.

"Jack Frost…?"

Hiccup swatted the snow away with his hand. "I'm not kidding, Astrid…It took a lot to convince you about Toothless…You've got to believe me with this one."

I watched intently as the girl mulled the thought over in her mind. After about a minute passed by I chuckled lowly to myself. "She's kind of slow."

"No she's not…"

She spoke up almost instantly. "What did he say…?"

Hiccup swallowed and then laughed awkwardly. "N-nothing…"

The girl crossed her arms. "I want to know."

Jumping a little, I spoke quickly, "Tell her I said she's hot. Do it. Go, go." I nudged his back in excitement.

He stiffened in my embrace. I think he was getting angry with me.

"Then it'll look like I said she's not…Stop! You're being annoying!" I had poked him in the side a couple times and he squirmed.

Smiling happily, I placed my chin on his shoulder and waited for things to happen. As annoying as the girl was, I was actually pretty damn content. Maybe letting her know what was going on was the best choice of action anyway. That would at least let her know that if she creeped on Hiccup again—I'd be there.

The blonde spoke again, "So…he's behind you. Right now." Hiccup nodded. "What's he doing?"

"Sitting!" he told her without thinking probably. I laughed at him.

"I'm not just sitting…" I put my hand up the back of his shirt again. Maybe I was being cruel and a little perverted…but hell if I cared. This was fun.

Hiccup whined slightly under his breath. It was the most erotic noise I'd ever heard out of him. "Stop…"

My eyes narrowed and I grinned.

I want to make those louder…

Astrid stood up abruptly. "Why can't I see him?"

We both looked to her and the boy shrugged a little under my weight. "He told me I'm the first to ever be able to…"

"Are you sure he's not…just…in your head, Hiccup?"

He shot forward a little, my hand slipping away just a bit. "He's not! Jack." He turned to me again and I blinked hastily. "Make some icicles out the window."

"How about a please?" I crossed my arms on my chest, eyeing him.

He sighed. "Please?"

My hand reached for the staff that had been lying on the ground and in seconds I had done as he said, creating three small icicles that dangled and dripped from his window.

Her eyes were as wide as full moons.

"That'll show her. Doesn't believe in me, my ass," I voiced.

Just then, the dragon in the room got up and started eating the icicles then ran over and placed one on the ground next to me before licking my whole face.

"Toothless!" I yelled, while shoving him away but still attempting to stay holding onto the boy. It was like trying to sail a small boat during a hurricane.

Astrid was stuttering and flailing her hands in the air while I pleaded for Hiccup to control his pet.

When he finally got the reptile off of me, I sighed in relief and laid face down on the bed, my face in a pillow, grumbling into it.

"He's done that before! Toothless can see him too?! Why? What…I can't…how…?"

Hiccup led her over to the bed to sit down and I glared in her direction. All three of us on the bed felt like one too many.

"I tried telling you…He is real and he is here with us…"

"Wish I wasn't…" I scowled at the girl.

He faintly smiled at me.

"I want to talk to him."

We both stared, shocked at her for once.

"Talk to him?" Hiccup asked, confused.

She nodded. "Yes. Hiccup, you can be the translator, so to speak."

I laughed sharply and leaned on my elbow. "What a joke."

"Give her a chance, Jack…" Hiccup locked eyes with me and I looked away quickly.

"What did he say?"

The brunette replied to her, "He doesn't think that will work, basically…"

"It will. Just let me."

She seemed confident enough, but like I gave a damn. I just wanted her to leave as soon as possible. What with my growing sexual frustration and the fact that Pitch could show up there at any second both looming over me like a storm cloud.

"Whatever." I waved a hand in the air and scoffed, "Just get on with it. What does she want to know?" Hiccup nodded and relayed the message in a kinder manner. I eyed him willfully, "You're making me sound like a total fag."

"What does he eat?"

Weird ass question.

I figured just asking more questions about hers would only cause issues and make me waste my time, so I answered, "I don't eat. I only do when I want to try something new. Otherwise it's only if I'm bored. Hunger pains have lessened after three hundred plus years." I began picking at my nails.

After Hiccup had told her what I said, she asked another equally useless inquiry, "How old are you exactly?"

"My body is stuck at eighteen, but technically I'm three hundred and twelve. You should remember that, yeah?" I looked to him for a moment and smiled.

About ten stupid questions later, she put a small finger on her bottom lip and then asked me something that she would probably end up regretting ever coming out of her mouth. "Why are you jealous of me?"

I sat up and growled. "If this bitch thinks she can just warm up to me by asking a few personal questions and then drop a bomb like that, then she's dead wrong!" I grabbed my staff but Hiccup stopped me before I could make a move.

"Calm down. You don't have to answer—"

"Oh I'll answer the question." I gripped my staff, jerking away from the boy almost violently. "Tell her I'm not jealous of her. Because you're mine, so there isn't anything to be jealous of. Not anymore."

"I'm…what…?" He seemed confused but I urged him on.

"Tell her."

"What is…what's he saying?" the girl asked.

Hiccup wouldn't speak and so I moved the bed's covers away and wrote my answer on the wooden board with frost:

Hiccup is mine.

The color in her face instantly left her as she stood up and backed away from us both almost too slowly. "Y-you…yours…Hiccup."

She looked at him, but he was staring dumbfounded at the melting letters.

"I don't belong to anyone…" His green eyes then traced their way up to me and he glared.

My shoulders sank along with my confidence. It wasn't like I was being unreasonable, right? I figured that he…

"I should go…" Astrid started walking towards the door and Hiccup got up to follow her.

I was going to trail the both of them as well, but I heard a voice that chilled me to the bone. "What a splendid little display of affection…"

My eyes went straight to Hiccup who was beginning to hobble his way down the stairs after the girl. My heart was torn in two ways as Pitch approached me from the darkness of Hiccup's room.

Why didn't I notice him before? Was he standing there the whole time…?

He walked right by the door and closed it with a shadowy hand. "I've been looking for you, Jack. Seems you've been out all day, haven't you? Busy with your new toy." He laughed and ran his fingers along my shoulder as he paced in front of me.

The fire reflected deep in my eyes. "Touch me again and I'll make you wish you weren't alive."

He smiled, as if my threats meant nothing to him. "Such coercions. Now, why can't we just talk? Hmmm, Jack? Like friends? We were friends at one point in time, right?"

My frosty blue eyes bore into his. "I never fucking liked you. Leave before I force you to."

"I think I'll stay actually." The nightmare walked towards the fire then sent a black horse into it. It sputtered and coughed until it went completely out and soon there was nothing but darkness.

My eyes blinked, straining to see Pitch who was just as dark as the room now. Toothless, who was lying beside me, stood up and started growling into the night. I held onto his neck and felt shivers engulf me.

"Pitch…just leave…"

"Getting a little scared now, are we?" Golden eyes were all I could see, all around me.

But I wasn't afraid. "You think you can scare me. You're wrong."

He sighed. "That is to be expected. You see…that's why I came here. To this room. I can see you care very much for this Hiccup boy. Maybe a little too much…"

My fists started to clenched together and Toothless escaped my grasp then ran to the other side of the room. "How cowardly. Trying to get to me by using someone I care for instead of just fighting me directly."

His laughed echoed through the tiny room and I stepped backwards. "You think I want to fight you, Jack? I wouldn't dream of putting a scratch on that perfect face of yours."

"Then what do you want?!" I yelled.

Out of the darkness, he approached me then looked into my eyes. I'd never seen a more piercing stare. "To see you writhe."

He was a sadist. The prefect example of one and I couldn't let him near Hiccup. I had to get him out of that room.

But then I heard the boy's voice outside of all places. He must have trailed Astrid all the way there, chasing after her like some moron.

Why wouldn't he just forget about her…? I was…I was…

"Poor Jack…" I turned to glare at him. "All he wants is someone to love…but it seems the boy can't forget about who he really loves."

Tears threatened my eyes. "He doesn't love her!" I spat.

Pitch spoke fervently, "If he didn't, he wouldn't have followed her. He wouldn't even be trying."

I focused on a specific set of eyes and said, "He…he'll forget about her. Once I…"

"Once you what, Jack? Once you have sex with him?"

"He will fall in love with me!" I shouted, the anger pulsing through my veins.

Pitch laughed horridly loud in my ears. "And then what? You'll have to watch him grow old and die as you stay young forever? What a fitting end to that love story."

It wasn't…wasn't like I hadn't thought of that before! But the way he said it…just made it seem all too real and all too soon. Humans only lived for about eighty years…And in ten years…how different would Hiccup be from me?

My head was overwhelmed with thoughts and depressing images that I could hardly take it anymore. I needed to escape. Escape Pitch and…and even Hiccup.

I needed to be on my own again.

x-x

My heart ached like a deep, intense wound as I stumbled through the woods, trying to avoid the fact that I was letting myself and Hiccup down in one move. Pitch's penetrating stare had gotten too overbearing so I had soared through the window, desperately searching for a way out.

I haven't really found one. I'm still overly depressed.

It was snowing, against my will, and for once I felt so cold. Too cold almost.

When I had left, my eyes scanned the area for my friend, but to no avail came my actions.

He must have gone over her house. He was probably making up with her…

The horrifying feeling of jealousy flooded me in seconds as I thought about the two of them kissing…and maybe even doing more. Her hands all over what was mine.

Mine…

Was he really what I said he was?

"I don't belong to anyone…"

I was in over my head with this one…
