A few weeks had passed after Hiccup and Jack had went out to eat together and as time progressed the two of them began to grow closer and closer. Before they knew it though, it was Summer vacation and saying Jack planned out things for them to do was an understatement. He planned small trips to the beach, a week-long camping trip, a trip to the closest amusement park and so much more. Though, he'd have to scale those trips down because Hiccup had some news for Jack.

"Jack, I need to take off work for the two weeks of May." The auburn-haired male stated with a rather serious expression. In fact, he may have even looked upset.

"Oh, uhm. Okay, Hiccup. That'll be fine. But... May I ask why?" He was unaware that he had grown a frown as his blue hues looked down at the shorter male. He had wanted to spend all Summer with his crush, but now that'll be shortened.

"Well, you see... I go home every Summer to Berk, my hometown, and if I don't go then my dad will just flip out. I'm sorry Jack... It won't be too long? When I return we'll hang out!" Hiccup had allowed a reassuring smile to grace his lips as if to comfort the other male. Oh, if only he had known what the other had planned.

"Oh.. Okay! Yeah, no it's okay! Family comes first!" He forced a smile on his face as he moved a hand to gently ruffle the auburn locks. He'd be happy as long as Hiccup was because he had placed the other male on a pedestal and his happiness came first.

"Thank you! I'll see you soon Jack!" Hiccup had quickly hugged around the white-haired male before he ran out of the shop to get packed and head out. Of course, his father had sent a chauffeur to obtain his only child and once Hiccup made it to his apartment, the car was already waiting out front.

So, Hiccup packed up enough supplies for the two-week stay along with his precious feline and he was off for Berk.

The next two weeks were dreadful for Jack. He had barely wanted to get out of bed, but he did for work at least. As soon as Hiccup left, it was as if Jack just had all of his motivation taken from him. On his days off he'd lounge about in his room in odd positions. At one point, North walked in and Jack was lying halfway off the bed with his white locks gently grazing the blue carpet. The most the boy would do is get dressed and go for a walk throughout the quiet city. Very rarely, he'd spend time with Aster, Tiana, and Sandy. Which, that did manage to make Jack feel slightly better that is, until he got home where he'd revert to his usual reclusive self. Sure enough though, the end of the two weeks came and Jack made sure he looked as attractive as he possibly could for work that day because he knew Hiccup would come see him and that thought kept a smile plastered on his lips. The day drug on and Jack was still peppy as can be. Then, he heard the bell signal that a customer entered the store. He didn't want to seem too eager, so he turned slowly with a smile and spouted out, "Welcome to the North Pole coffee shop, with a cold name like that, our coffee is guaranteed to be hot and delicious~!" Right now, he wished his father would have changed that slogan.

"Miss me?" Was all that fell from Hiccup's lips. Over the break, Hiccup had grown slightly taller and his already sun-kissed skin had gained a nice tan, which accentuated the already present freckles that plagued the boys body. Hell, his hair had even gotten a bit longer. At this sight, Jack's mouth dropped open and he couldn't believe that this was Hiccup. The other male had gotten so much more attractive over two-weeks and it was absolutely breathtaking. Granted, he was still taller than Hiccup but damn had he grown. Jack shook those thoughts before he promptly went over and pulled Hiccup into a tight hug.

"Of course I missed you, Hiccup." Jack spoke as he moved his face to bury into Hiccups's auburn hair and his eyes slowly shut. He didn't think it to be possible that he had missed the other so much. He missed everything about Hiccup, even the dorky way he dressed. All the while, Hiccup had wrapped his arms around Jack into a hug and nuzzled a cheek against Jack's broad chest. He'd be lying if he said he didn't miss the white-haired male. That was all Hiccup thought about while at Berk and he was counting the days till he could see the other again.

"Hiccup, we're going to the beach." Jack blurted out as he nuzzled into the other and took in the scent of the person he'd grown to love so dearly. Yes, while Hiccup was gone he even booked a very nice condo for the two of them and prepared pretty much everything. At that moment, Hiccup's eyes had grown wide and he turned his green hues to lock with opposite blue ones. He was very confused at this moment because, well he had just got home and he'd be leaving again?

"What...? Ah, but I haven't paid for anything or packed!" He spoke frantically as he kept his eyes on Jack's. The way Hiccup acted just caused Jack to let out a soft chuckle before he pulled away from the other male.

"Yeah, I know. I paid for everything, and you can go get packed? We aren't leaving till tomorrow. I know you just got back, but... I just really wanted a vacation with you because you're my best friend." Of course, it was that and that Jack had deep feelings for Hiccup. He just loved everything about him, even when they'd argue he still always loved him even more.

Hiccup nodded before he was off again to go and wash what he might need to pack. He couldn't say he wasn't happy about the sudden trip as a smile grew on his chapped lips. Hiccup loved to be with Jack, because he was always so much fun and the way he acted was just, cool. He knew how he felt towards Jack, and he knew Jack would never feel the same, in his mind. It was just a crush, is what he'd tell himself, but it was so much more than that. A quick shake of his head and the auburn-haired male was bustling around his apartment in a frenzy to pack everything as his cat watched with confusion. It wasn't soon after that, that Jack closed up the store and went home to finish his own preparations for the trip. He had made sure to pack the day before and everything else was in order. Nodding, he went and took a quick shower and change into his night clothes for much needed sleep to prepare for the long car-ride ahead of them. He had planned a nice trip to Miami, Florida which was quite far from Virginia. To Jack though, it was worth it to see Hiccup's smiling face as he ran through the crystal clear ocean.

The next morning at about six, Jack had loaded his luggage into his car before he drove to Hiccup's apartment where the auburn-haired male stood on the side-walk with his luggage in hand, along with his cat in the other. So, Jack hopped from his car and walked over to the other male before taking all of his luggage and piling it into his car as well. Once that was done, Hiccup hopped into the passenger side of the vehicle and made sure he was buckled before he pulled the cat close to his chest. As he was doing that, Jack was doing the same before he started up his car and began to drive off.

After a dreadful thirteen hour drive, the two boys arrived at the condo and couldn't be happier since, by then it as seven in the evening and they were both exhausted, even Toothless. It was worse because they had to stop frequently to allow the feline to do its business and give him some water, not to mention to get gas. So, as the boys stepped from the car and their gazes ran over the condo they couldn't help but to grow the most excited smiles. The condo was gorgeous, and it was right on the beach. It was pretty expensive to rent it for a week and a half but that's why it was a plus that Jack had saved up so much money from working at the shop. Broken from their trance, the boys both went and grabbed as much luggage as possible and drug it to the front door where Jack pulled a key out and unlocked it. The door opened up to the usual beach/ocean themed decor and Hiccup and Jack pulled their belongings inside and wheeled them to whichever room they desired After about thirty minutes, everything was settled and Toothless roamed around to explore the new place while his owner and Jack had plopped down onto the couches.

The next day was absolutely gorgeous. The bright sun caused the ocean to sparkle and the sounds of waves crashing over the white sand resonated throughout the landscape. The atmosphere itself was calm as Jack stood over the stove and was working on making them both breakfast. Since it was a condo he had made sure to pack enough food for the first few days, because he could always go and buy more. As of now though, he focused on making french toast and bacon and the smell filled the entire condo which caused Hiccup to stir. Jack was an excellent cook, and he let a smile trace his features as he placed two pieces of french toast onto two plates along with some bacon. He gave a nod of approval as he sat the table and then poured them both a nice cup of orange juice and sat those down as well. A yawn and a quick rub of his eyes and Hiccup was awake as he made himself downstairs where he saw the display of food and he broke out with a very adorable smile.

"Thank you, Jack" He stated as he sat down at the table and looked to the other male whom was gathering utensils.

"No need. I'd do anything for you, Hiccup." Jack spoke calmly as he sat down and placed utensils in front of himself and Hiccup. Neither hesitated before they began to eat and all you could hear was Hiccup saying 'mmmm' every so often.

Apparently, the breakfast was a success and it looked to be great start to their day. As they both finished, their dirtied dishes were placed into the sink for later and the two ran to their rooms to change into their swim trunks. Hiccup had pulled on a pair of trunks that rest just above his knees and was the color of pine trees where Jack's looked like blue opal. They grabbed their beach towels and a beach chair and were already making their way down to the beach in order to find a good spot. After a few minutes they place their chairs into a secluded area, for now, and draped their towels over the bright colored chairs.

"Jack." Hiccup crossed his arms with a bottle of sun tan lotion in one hand as he stared at his pale companion. He knew Jack wouldn't put any on without being forced, and this was that moment. Jack turned around and as soon as his gaze fell upon the lotion, he grew an expression the resembled that of a scolded puppy as he sulked over to Hiccup and took the lotion. With pursed lips he was able to get the lotion all over, except for his back.

"Hiccup! Can you put some on my back?" Jack spoke with a smile as he held the bottle towards the other and turned his back to him. Hiccup sighed as he squirted the cool lotion into his hand and began to rub the substance onto his companion's back which resulted in a shiver. That was done, and Jack happily did the same for Hiccup because he didn't want that gorgeous skin to get burnt. So his hands coated the others back with lotion and once that was done, Jack did't hesitate to grasp Hiccup's hand within his own and pull the auburn-haired boy to the ocean.

All the while, passing girls couldn't help but to check out both the boys. As Jack noticed this little fact, he suddenly felt a surge of jealousy course through his body. No one had ever looked at Hiccup in such a manner before and it was odd. He shook his head and retracted his hand from holding Hiccup's. A grin then found itself on the white-haired males lips as he used a hand to splash Hiccup.

"Hey!" Hiccup scowled at his friend before he started to laugh and he splashed Jack back and this continued for a short while before Jack pounced onto the brunette and pulled him down into the water, just enough to get his entire body wet. This of course made Hiccup emit an unmanly squeal as his head went under the water and bobbed back up. His auburn locks fell to cover Hiccup's eyes as Jack pulled the other to his feet with a smile as his own hair had gotten wet enough to cover his eyes. The sight of the other made both of them laugh and Hiccup reached hands up to push Jack's white locks off of his gorgeous blue eyes. It wasn't a minute after that Jack did the same for Hiccup before his blue hues locked with emerald green ones. There was a small silence between the two before Jack moved both of his pale hands to cup Hiccup's cheeks. He the shut his eyes till his long lashes were resting upon his cheeks and he leaned in towards Hiccup and pressed their lips together in a loving kiss. A moment is what it took for Hiccup to comprehend what was happening and as soon as he realized that Jack had kissed him, his cheeks began to gain a red tint. That didn't stop the auburn-haired male from moving his arms up to slink around his friends neck an lean in to kiss the other male back. It was like sparks flew as the two shared a deep, loving kiss that neither one wanted to pull away from, but sadly the need for air became too much for them and they pulled away. Their lips were swollen from the deep kiss and both sets of eyes fluttered open to stare at the other before small smiles traced both their features. Jack leaned down again and pressed both of their foreheads together as his hands had made their way up to entangle throughout Hiccup's hair. Fingers twirled throughout wet strands as a comfortable silence fell between them. Other than the waves tumbling over their legs, to them they were the only two people on the beach. The silence continued until Jack decided to break it.

"Hiccup, I just want to say... That I love you. I know we've only known one another for about a month to a month and a half but I can't deny it any longer. I just, everything about you is perfect to me... The way you smile, laugh, walk, talk, sing, breathe, just everything. Hell, I think I've loved you since we first met and you started working with me and got the frozen coffee everywhere. I love how much you care about everything you do and pretty much will do anything you can to help people. While you were with you dad, I swear... I could have died. I was so incredibly bored that if I wasn't working I would just lie in bed and eat junk food. You are the summer to my winter, the coffee to my cream. Hah... That was lame, but it's true. You are my world.. I love you so much, Hiccup." Jack spoke without ever breaking his gaze from Hiccup, after all. He was serious and he had to make sure Hiccup understood that.

A moment passed and Hiccup was speechless but he pulled himself from that and nodded before he spoke but he couldn't help the small tears of joy that rolled down his cheeks. "Jack... I don't know what to say. I.. No, I do. I love you too. I'm just, I'm so happy right now.. No one has ever felt this way for me and finally, I have you... While I was at my fathers, you were always on my mind and no matter how hard I tried to push the thoughts away, you always returned. You've been the one to help me out of my shell and I'm not a complete dweeb anymore... Well, I am but you know what I mean. You gave me a reason to like that little town and the hope I needed to keep pursuing the career path I truly desire. I'm in love with you Jack."

Silence washed over them as Jack moved one hand to cup one of Hiccup's cheeks before murmuring, "Hiccup, will you go out with me?"

"Of course I will." Hiccup responded without hesitation as he happily leaned into his new boyfriend' hand. Right now, he was just enjoying being so close to a person he truly loved.
