Hey guys, Sorry it's been so long! I hate myself for that. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the new chapter Typhoon Lagoon Pt. 1. Questions, Comments, Remarks, Reviews, Gripes, or Complaints are most welcome!

"I can't believe this." He said softly. Stoic knew how he felt about water parks. He knew he was terrified of showing his leg to anyone. Why, why in the name of Valhalla did he have to suggest a water park. The only positive thing Hiccup could see coming out of this was that he would get to see Jack in swimming trunks. He shook his head trying to shake the bad thought away. 'No Hiccup. Bad.'

"You okay?" Toothless asked sitting down beside his brother.

"I'm just not sure if I'm ready to show the world this." He patted his leg gently.

"Or one specific person in general." Toothless looked at him softly. Hiccup could only nod.

"Yeah, I'm petrified about how he'll react."

"If he says anything...I'll take him out." Toothless said sternly.

"I know you will bro. I just don't want you to have to."

Just then Stoic walked in.

"Alright you two. Get your swimming things and let's go meet the others."

Toothless stood slowly and started to gather both his and Hiccups trunks. His pair were dark black and had a single red stripe down the side. Unlike his brothers his were not board shorts. Instead his pair were a pair of tight fitting swimmers shorts. Hiccup's on the other hand were a light green color with white outlines on the pockets and strings.

"Dad, what about my leg?"

"Ah I have thought of that." he beamed and held out what appeared to be a rubber sock.

"Uh?" Hiccup looked at it confused. "Just what am I supposed to do with that?" Toothless walked over to it and looked it over.

"Is this what I think it is?" he asked Stoic, slightly impressed. Stoic nodded and moved to the bed across from Hiccup.

"What? What is it?" Hiccup asked.

"This is a waterproof cover for your leg."

"It's a...what?" Hiccup couldn't believe his ears.

"Trust me dude, I know what I'm looking at." Toothless was the one who secured the prosthetic for him in the first place. He was an assistant to one of the foremost Orthotic doctors in the business. He knew that a sleeve like this wasn't exactly cheap.

"I knew you were not looking forward to the water so I got you this as part of your Christmas present."

"Wow." Toothless was looking the sleeve over "This is good work. I can barely make out the seam. It should work perfectly." Hiccup still wasn't convinced but he knew he couldn't fight it.

As soon as the last few things were packed away in the backpacks they headed out to catch the bus. Hiccup decided to stand. He knew he couldn't sit still because his nerves were getting the better of him. 'What will Jack say?' That same question ran through his head over and over and over. Several people gave Hiccup's leg a curious glance but quickly turned away after a glare from Toothless.

"Are you going to do that all day?" Hiccup asked softly

"If I have to…" Toothless said from his seat near him

After the bus made a quick stop at Disney Springs, it pulled into Typhoon lagoon and Hiccup walked out.

"Here goes nothing…" He mumbled to himself.

"Looks like we were the first ones here today." Toothless said looking toward the gate. Sure enough there was no sign of Jack or North.

"I hope they didn't forget." Stoic said glancing at his watch.

Suddenly a pair of arms coiled themselves around Hiccup's shoulders

"We didn't" Jack's joyful voice rang in his ear. Hiccup did everything he could to hide the goofy smile spreading across his face. Needless to say it was a worthless gesture.

"Hey Jack." He turned around, as he did he realized that it might not have been such a good idea. His face and Jack's were only inches away from each other. Toothless distracted North and Stoic by suggesting they get in line. With their attention focused on getting through security and the gates they forgot all about Hiccup and Jack

"Hey." Jack smirked

"H-Hi." Hiccup stuttered back blushing madly.

"Aww, You're blushing."

"S-so why are you late?" Hiccup asked, desperately looking for a new subject

"I missed the first bus, couldn't wake up this morning. I sent you a text."
"Oh I left my phone back at the room. Just for safety."
"Solid plan, kinda wish I did that." Jack smiled and looked toward the group gathered waiting to enter the park."Shall we?"
"Yes lets." Hiccup smiled and took the others hand in his.
"I'm going to assume that you left your camera home too then." Jack said spotting a photographer.
"Yeah, figured it would be best."
"Then we better take advantage of the available resources." He smirked and pulled Hiccup toward the photographer standing just inside the gate.
"Just you two?" The photographer asked with a smile.
"Yeah for now." Jack replied before Hiccup had a chance. The photographer smiled, set them in place and took several different photos. Shortly after Jack pulled Hiccup toward their fathers and Toothless.

"Nice of you two to join us." Toothless said quietly

"Nice work with that distraction." Jack said, silently giving Hiccup's hand a gentle squeeze.

"Don't mention it." Toothless said looking at him sternly.

"What?" Jack asked innocently. Toothless looked at Hiccup questioningly. Hiccup microscopically shook his head.

"It's nothing…" Toothless said as they continued on. Jack followed still not sure what that was all about.

"Ah Jack, Hiccup. Good you found us. I was getting worried." North said. Jack felt his hand slide out of Hiccup's at those words.

"Yeah, North. We just had a bit of trouble getting through the gates." Jack lied.

Toothless glared at him.

"Okay dude, seriously. What the hell did I do?" He asked Toothless a little more angry sounding then he meant to.

"Jack." Hiccup's nervous voice said softly behind him. "Can we talk?" The poor guy was looking determinedly anywhere but Jack's face.

"Sure…" Jack said letting the anger in his voice completely vanish. Hiccup took his hand and lead him to a small corner behind the nearby Singapore Sal's Beachwear store.

"Hiccup, what's going on?" Jack asked when Hiccup had made sure they were alone. With a sigh Hiccup looked back at him.

"Jack, I really like you. So please try to understand this is really hard for me." He said staring at his trembling hands. Soon two pale hands slid over his own comfortingly.

"I really like you too. I promise I won't freak out, or anything. Just say what's on your mind."

"Well..it's more of a thing I have to show you." He rolled up his pant leg on his prosthetic side and gestured to it. For a moment Jack didn't move he just looked from Hiccup's face to his leg.

"Is that it?" He asked softly

"Is that it?!" Hiccup copied indignantly. "Jack, look at this." He gestured again to the metal part of his leg.

"Yeah I saw." He shrugged. "So what? Missing a leg doesn't change who you are." He looked dead into Hiccup's eyes. "You're still the same goofball I'm falling for, with or without your leg." Hiccup felt tears welling in his eyes.

"Jack...Thank you." He hugged him tightly.

"Don't mention it" Jack replied kissing the top of Hiccup's head softly. He had feared that Hiccup would tense up or recoil away from him, but he didn't. Instead Jack felt him relax and pull himself closer.

"I wish I could be as brave as you sometimes." Hiccup said softly into Jack's chest.

"I don't follow." Jack said into the tangle of brown hair.

"About...the way you feel. You didn't hide it from North despite what he might have said, and you didn't hide it from me. Even though you weren't sure if I returned the feelings. I just want to be brave like you."
"Hey, It's okay Hic. I didn't get this way overnight." He pulled Hiccup back to an arms length and looked at him softly. "I'm not as well adjusted as you might suspect." He smiled softly

"Really?" Hiccup asked looking up at him.

"Yeah, but now really isn't the time or place to talk about that." He said turning away for the first time. Hiccup saw the slight change in his attitude and found his mouth dry. All he could do was nod and stand back.

"I uh...guess we had better get back to the group and get cooled off." Jack said smiling his by now familiar smile, but this time there was a slightly forced edge to it.

"We were getting worried about you two." Stoic said when the boys rejoined them.

"We had better find someplace to change." North suggested.
Jack spotted a bathroom.
"How about over there?" He said pointing.
Stoic assessed the small building.
"Might have enough room for you boys, but North and I will have to change somewhere else." The boys nodded, took their bags and walked in. Hiccups heart thudded loudly in his ears. He was incredibly relieved that Jack didn't care about his leg, but now he was about to see him nearly naked. He didn't know if he could keep his cool, and resist the urge to faint there and then, but he supposed there was only one way to find out. When he finally reached the changing room he found it was little more than a locker room with no stalls, or bathrooms for private changing. 'Terrific.' Hiccup said to himself as he looked around the room.
"Cozy." Were the words that came out of his mouth instead.
"Yeah" Jack chuckled "Still better than a umbrella to change behind."
Hiccup laughed and turned to look at him, when he did he froze. Jack had his shirt already off and was working on his shorts. His torso was more muscular than Hiccup would have guessed from his lithe appearance. He was by no means a quarterback but by comparison Hiccup looked as thick as a toothpick. Jack stopped and looked at him.

"What's wrong Hic? Forgot your stuff?" Hiccup blushed and madly shook his head. Jack seemed to be confused for a moment before realization hit him. "Oh…" He looked down and smirked softly. "Sorry."

"No, No it's okay." Hiccup said almost before Jack could finish. Jack only smirked and walked over close to him.

"I'm not being brave right now…" He smirked softly and backed Hiccup up against the wall of lockers behind him. Hiccup swallowed visibly and blushed dark red. Suddenly Jack is pulled back and slammed against the far wall.

"Hands off." Toothless said sternly.

"Dude, I was just kidding." Jack held his hands up defensively. Hiccup gently pulled his brother off.

"Toothless, I don't care. It's fine." He glanced back at Jack. "Actually I kinda liked it." Jack smiled softly.

"Just hurry out before Dad suspects something…" Toothless walked out in a huff.

"Now…" He pulled Hiccup close to him. "Where were we?"

"S-somewhere about here." Hiccup said putting his hands on Jack's waist.

"Now who's the brave one?" Jack smirked and pulled him close.

Hiccup just blushed madly. A few minutes later, after they both decided to let go of one another, they emerged in their trunks. Jack was wearing a pair of tight white trunks, with a light blue stripe while Hiccup was wearing his Shorts. Toothless stood just outside the door waiting for them with his arms crossed

"Finally." He said shortly. "You two need to be more careful."

"Sorry not sorry." Jack said giving Hiccups hand a squeeze. Hiccup for his part was having a hard time looking anywhere but Jack's exposed torso.

"Doomed…" Toothless said softly "You're doomed."

To both Jack's and Toothless's surprise both of the boys managed to keep themselves in check in sight of their fathers. Once outside their line of sight however was another story. As soon as the boys spotted it they knew the first ride they had to do was the lazy river.

"Bingo!" Jack said smiling.

"Perfect." Stoic said. He knew that Hiccup was nervous and a nice slow water ride was the perfect thing to start him off with. Jack and Hiccup were the first of their group to reach the stairs.

"No tubes?" Hiccup asked

"Well you could use them if you wanted, but because it lets out at more than one place it's probably easier if you don't." Jack said after looking at the map of the river.

"I'm assuming you and Hiccup will want a tandem tube?" Toothless said giving Jack an appraising look.

"If they have one. If not he can have one and I'll just float beside."

Shortly after Hiccup was settled into his tube with Jack floating beside him

"So what do you do for fun?" Jack asked after playfully swimming around Hiccup.

"Well I like to take pictures, as you know, but I also play the piano and draw." The younger man replied giggling softly "How about you?"

"Ah well," Jack blushed softly "I kinda want to be an actor."

"I think you would make a good actor."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, you have the right spirit for it." Jack smiled and took Hiccup's hand in his as they continued to float down the river. "What made you decide that you wanted to act for a living?"

"Uh well, act and sing. I've always liked performing I guess, and I dunno I just like making people laugh and smile. So If there was a profession where I could do that it would be acting. I guess I really just want to help people have fun." Hiccup beamed at him. Jack was so cute when he talked, but perhaps what was more cute than his face was how flustered he got when talking bout himself. Hiccup could see that he wasn't comfortable and wondered why. Under the water he tightened his grip on Jack's hand.

"That's so awesome." The two continued talking until the found the exit for Keelhaul Falls. Toothless helped Hiccup out and the party walked into the long que for the water slide ride.

"Single riders only." North said as a few riders passed under their bridge.

Jack looked at Hiccup nervously,

"You gunna be okay riding on your own?" He asked glancing at Hiccup's leg.

"Hope so. If not I'll just have to wait for you to rescue me." He said smirking at Jack. Jack raised his eyebrows impressed. He's proud that Hiccup is trying to flirt but hoped North has Stoic sufficiently distracted.

"Oh really?" Jack smirked

"Cool it you two." Toothless said chuckling slightly

"Sorry bro I can't help it." Hiccup said smiling.

After the short and quick paced water slide, the group decided to ride it's sister slide, Mayday Falls. The scenic slide was slightly calmer but to Hiccup it was even better. After it was all over Jack took Hiccup over to Gangplank Falls and into the que before anybody else can join them.

"Why is everything falls around here?" Hiccup asked chuckling slightly

"You try coming up with names for three identical water slides with a boat theme and see what you come up with." Jack teased. The two shared a moment of laughter before Hiccup looked around.

"Hey, where's everyone else?"He asked. Jack turned to look and when he couldn't find the hulking forms of their fathers he shrugged

"Maybe we can see them when we get up higher." It was a good theory but one that turned out to be incorrect. The amount of people in the park, plus the hot sun, plus the scenic displays made finding people impossible.

"Ah...well...that's a problem" Jack said slightly nervous.

"What do we do if we can't find them?" Hiccup asked taking Jack's hand.

"Worst case scenario we go back to our rooms and wait for them there."

"How will they know where we went?"

"I don't know, but they're not dumb. I'm sure they'll figure it out." Hiccup nodded and smiled at Jack softly.

"Besides now we get some time alone." He pulls himself closer to Jack who smiles and ruffles his hair.

After the short tube ride the boys decided to wait for the rest of the group at a nearby snack stand.

"Want a snack? I'm starving." Jack asked once they reached the stand.

"Sure."

He felt slightly guilty as he never paid for his own snacks or drinks but every time he offered Jack insisted. The woman behind the counter smiled at them as they ordered and paid. When they got their food they noticed an extra ice cream. Jack looked confused at the woman who just winked and turned away.

"I think she likes you" Hiccup chuckled.

"I wish she wouldn't." Jack said with a sigh

"Oh I'm sure." Hiccup says unbelieving and playfully. "It's such a burden to be attractive."

"It is when I'm not interested." Jack said sadly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

Jack laughed, fully laughs. It's a laugh that scrunches his nose and dimples his cheeks. A real belly laugh.

"Offend me? Hic…" He takes Hiccups free hand in his, a reaction and feeling the two are becoming used to more and more as the vacation continues. "There is nothing you could ever do to offend me." The two lock eyes and the warm smile that spreads on both of their faces show the other how much they truly mean to them.

"There you are." Toothless said sitting down beside them. Jack and Hiccup jump and pull away. Their hands flying back to their sides.

"Where have you been?" Hiccup asked blushing madly

"We lost you, so we went alone. Dad's thinking about lunch soon" Toothless said taking the other ice cream. Jack moved to protest.

"Ah, It's mine or I'll tell." Toothless said with an evil smirk

Jack was ninety percent sure he was fibbing but he couldn't take that risk.

"Good boy." Toothless said victoriously opening the ice cream

"So uh...how about after lunch we do the lazy river again...then the wave pool." Hiccup suggested after finishing his ice cream and taking out his map.

"Sounds good to me." Jack said smiling. After their fathers found them they all decided to go to lunch at a restaurant called Leaning Palms. Jack ordered a Black Bean Plantain Burger, opted for the house made chips and had a Blue Raspberry Frozen Lemonade to drink. North ordered the Beef Short-Rib Bowl, and got a Hot Chocolate to drink. Hiccup chose an Italian Deli Sandwich, apple slices and, not just because Jack ordered it, a Blue Raspberry Frozen Lemonade. Toothless got the same as North except changing the Hot Cocoa for a Chocolate milk. Stoic decided on the Teriyaki Salmon, and a Dr. Pepper. The group sat and ate,The five of them were, at this point, close enough that making conversation came easy. After another loop on the lazy river the group drifted into the huge wave pool. Jack made sure he stayed beside Hiccup because it was clear that the younger boy was extremely nervous.

"You'll be fine." Toothless said trying to calm his brother down.

"I know...I have you two here." He says affection dripping from his voice. Something buzzed by his face and he swatted it away.

"Bugs are terrible today." He grumbled.

"Its just cause you're so sweet." Jack said smirking. Hiccup blushed deeply.

"Oh yuck." Toothless gagged.

"You're just jealous." Jack said getting between Hiccup and Toothless. The waves soon begin and Toothless started to drift away as people shuffle with the current. Every time Hiccup came up from beneath the water the fly was buzzing around him.

"Go under I'll try to get him." As Hiccup dove under again Jack saw what it was. A yellow and black wasp. Seconds later Hiccup jerked in pain and held his neck. Instantly Jack knew what happened. He turned and saw a huge wave coming, with Milliseconds to react he had no choice but to act on instinct.
