Chapter 4- Realizations
So guys here is chapter 4, it turned out to be something completely different from what I was planning on and I'm sorry for the awful amount of time it took to get it done… But here it is, enjoy….
Hiccup woke up by Toothless walking in circles on the small boys' stomach, his tail swayed into Hiccups face every time he made a lap. "Mpf… Toothless, stop it! I'm awake now, thank you!" Hiccup groaned as he rolled over to check the time. It was just five, Hiccup let out a groan which Toothless replied to with a loud meow. "Okay, alright, I am going to feed you, hold on!" Hiccup told the feline who now made a content expression. Hiccup stepped up, almost falling over as his prosthetic stuck in a pile of littered stuff on the floor. Great way to start the day, Hiccup thought sarcastically and put on some clothes before he followed Toothless down the stairs. In the kitchen he prepared breakfast for himself and Toothless, because he was hungry although it was so early. Toothless grinded against Hiccups legs as the boy poured up some canned cat food in a bowl and placed it on the floor, the cat instantly went to eat. Hiccup went to the table to eat his own breakfast. After the breakfast he returned to his room, Toothless close up behind him.
Since it was too early to leave home already Hiccup decided to do his homework which he would have to do sooner or later, he was done way too soon. There was still too much time to kill so he decided to move over to his drawing table. Toothless jumped up on the big workspace and for once he looked interested in what Hiccup was doing. Since Toothless was sitting so nicely Hiccup decided to take his chance and so he started drawing the feline in front of him. Hiccup drew for a while, now and then he looked at the clock. As the clock was eight he decided to text Jack to see if the other teen was awake.
"Good morning snowflake! Up already?" He typed and pressed send. A few minutes passed and Hiccup finished some last details on his sketch of Toothless. Then his phone buzzed and Hiccup picked it up to see an unread text from Jack. "Good morning Hic! Yep, I'm up already, couldn't sleep… What are you doing?" Hiccup smiled as he quickly typed in a reply. "Well, just drawing and I did some homework… Now I'm bored…"
This time Jacks reply came faster. "Come over then, I'm bored to death." Hiccups eyes went wide, Jack invited him to his place? "Is this an invitation of some kind?" Hiccup responded. Jacks text came almost instantly. "That's what it's supposed to be, come over or I'm going to die of boredom…" Jacks text read, Hiccup chuckled. "To me it sounds more like a threat than an invitation." Hiccup typed and chuckled as he pressed send. He really loved teasing Jack. "Just come over already!" Jacks text read. Hiccup typed, "I want a proper invitation!" This time it took a bit longer for Jack to respond but after two or three minutes there was a response. "Okay princess. Dear Mr. Hiccup Haddock, I invite you, to my place, now. Kind regards, yours sincerely, Mr. Jackson Overland." Hiccup could hardly stop laughing, Jack had called him princess. "I accept, but if I'm a princess, what are you then?" He didn't really think about what Jack could answer as he pressed send.
As he had calmed down a bit he took the stuff he needed and went down the stairs to head towards Jacks place. He stopped in the middle of the stairs to read Jacks text. His cheeks flushed as he read it. "Maybe your ice prince?" Was Jack being serious? What was this? Was this a joke? Those texts were almost like flirting a little… But friends didn't flirt, Hiccup thought all of a sudden feeling a bit down. He typed his answer and continued towards the door, trying to ignore the sad feeling in his stomach. "I'm leaving now ice prince!" Hiccup typed and put down his phone.
Suddenly he heard his father's voice and spun around. "Where are you heading so early son?" Stoick asked. "I'm going to Jacks place… He invited me over…" Hiccup muttered. "Hmpf… You met yesterday already…" Stoick said, "But see you later son." He added. "Bye dad…" Hiccup said and sneaked out from the house. The walk to Jacks house wasn't too long and Hiccup wondered why North had decided to take the car. Way too soon he stood on Jacks porch, he took a deep breath and knocked. He heard footsteps from inside and then Jack opened the door.
"Hi!" Jack said as he lit up. "Hey!" Hiccup said and waved a stupid little wave with his hand. Jack was barefoot and something about it told Hiccup Jack didn't like shoes. Hiccup moved forward and Jack did too and once again Hiccup found himself hugging the white haired teen tightly, hands wrapped around Jacks back. This time no one could disturb them and they lost the sense of how much time passed. As they let go both of their cheeks were slightly pink. "I'm glad you came! North and Emma left early this morning and I felt so lonely…" Jack said smiling widely at Hiccup. "So we have the whole house for ourselves…" Hiccup said, just realizing that this was the first time they were all alone, only the two of them. "Yeah we do Hic, and we are all by ourselves…" Jack said. It made Hiccup blush slightly.
"Yeah… So what are we going to do now that we are all by ourselves?" Hiccup asked looking up at the taller teen. "Well maybe we could… Do something fun!" Jack suggested with an excited tone. "You are all about fun," Hiccup chuckled, receiving an amused look from Jack. "That's who I am I guess…" Jack said. "You could show me your room…" Hiccup suggested. "Well there isn't really much to see… It's a mess with a lot of unpacked cardboard boxes and stuff…" Jack said, "But I'll show you… It's upstairs…" He added and started leading Hiccup up to his room. They stopped in the door to Jacks room and Hiccup let his gaze wander over the room, he wanted to take in every little detail to the fullest. In one corner there was a pile of cardboard boxes that were still unpacked, there was also a small table and a chair, in the corner by the window there was a bed and a wardrobe. On the floor were piles of different things, clothes, books and other things. Jack seemed to be the type who couldn't manage to keep order in his room, it was somehow cute, Hiccup thought. Wait, cute? Why did Hiccup all of a sudden think things were cute? Since when did he do that?
"Hey Hic, you alright? I think you zoned out…" Hiccup was dragged back to reality by Jack giving him a worried look and patting him on the arm. "Ehu... Yeah… I just zoned out… Sorry…" Hiccup stuttered, once again not finding which words to use. His gaze fell upon a crooked staff leaning against the wall in one corner. "What is that?" Hiccup asked, pointing at the crooked staff. "Ehm… Well… It's a shepherds crook… Nothing special… Uhm…" Jack stuttered, Hiccup felt there was something more Jack didn't want to tell but he felt he couldn't push him since he himself wasn't ready to tell Jack about his past yet. "Okay… You don't need to tell me if you don't want…" Hiccup said giving Jack an understanding look. "Thank you…" Jack said, giving Hiccup a thankful smile.
"Hey I know what we can do!" Jack spoke up after a while. "What can we do?" Hiccup asked. "We can watch a movie, we don't have to leave until eleven, right?" Jack said. "Yeah, that's a great idea, what movie do you suggest we should watch?" Hiccup asked. "Well… What do you want to watch? We haven't really got that many movies but there should be something…" Jack said and showed Hiccup the way down to the living room were the movies they had where. They found three movies, one was a princess movie, one was a horse movie and one was some animated movie they had never heard of. They picked the last one and sat down on the sofa to watch it. After a while Jack moved a little closer to lean his head against Hiccups shoulder, Hiccup tried to not panic and took deep breathes.
Jacks head was resting on Hiccups shoulder and Hiccup had his legs on the sofa, the one that was still complete touching Jacks thigh. Hiccup had never had this much body contact with the other teen before and he didn't really know what to do. He tried snaking an arm around Jacks shoulder and he took his chance to feel if Jacks hair was as soft and fluffy as it looked, it was. Hiccup played around with Jacks hair until the other one started chuckling.
"What's so funny snowflake?" Hiccup asked accusingly. "Well you have been playing around with my hair for almost half an hour, aren't you getting tired of it?" Jack asked as he shifted to be able to see Hiccups face, he ended up with putting his head in Hiccups lap. Hiccups hands stopped touching Jacks hair. "No, it's so soft and fluffy, I want to play with it all day! Why can't I?" Hiccup asked, pouting a little. He stroked it a little and Jack looked up at him. "Of course you can… It's a nice feeling… It's just funny that you don't get tired of it…" Jack said. "So you like it?" Hiccup asked, smiling slightly. Jack grumbled something inaudible about a nice feeling and Hiccup started giggling. "You do! Admit it!" Hiccup said.
Jack pouted, "I never said I liked it, I just said it was a nice feeling." He grumbled. "Hey, why can't you just say that you like it, there's nothing wrong with that, I like playing with your hair!" Hiccup said. "Why did you stop?" Jack asked, avoiding the question. "So you do like it…" Hiccup said. He reached out one of his small hands and tickled Jacks tummy, Jack squealed which only caused Hiccups giggling to increase. He tickled Jacks tummy with both his hands and Jack tried with all he could to make it stop. "Okay! Okay! I admit it! I do like when you play with my hair, please stop now!" Jack squealed and Hiccup stopped. "Good boy!" He said and fluffed Jacks hair.
They continued watching the movie, none of them really paying attention to it. Hiccup was occupied with Jacks hair and Jack observed Hiccups concentrated face as he played around on Jacks head. Hiccups concentrated face was cute. "What was the movie even about?" Hiccup asked after a while, he hadn't even realized it was over until now. "I didn't even know it was over…" Jack said, laughing a little. Hiccup started laughing too. "What is the time even?" Hiccup asked Jack who pulled out his phone. "It's… half past eleven… Oh, well we better hurry…" Jack said and sat up, they both quickly took the stuff they needed and went out.
As they reached the soccer field Astrid and Fishlegs were talking to Ruffnut and Tuffnut. "Hey Astrid we are here now." Hiccup said and she spun around. She punched him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so late?" Astrid gave him a weird look. "Ouch, what was that for?" Hiccup asked, "We were at Jacks place and then we forgot the time and yeah…" Hiccup added. "Oooh, I see…" Astrid said, smirking a bit. "And that was for being late… But I take it back now…" She added, still smirking. "What is it that you see?" Hiccup asked a bit annoyed, he didn't like when the blonde girl teased him for something. "Oh, just nothing, look they are letting people in, we better get good places." She said and walked away towards the entrance.
"What was that?" Jack asked Hiccup. "I don't know to be honest… She's very weird sometimes… Come on let's go." Hiccup said. They walked in and sat down on a bench, Hiccup sat in between Jack and Astrid. He felt a cold wind blow in his face and remembered the beanie he had brought with him, he searched for it but couldn't find it. Then he remembered that he had forgotten it at Jacks place in the hurry. Fuck. "Jack… I forgot my beanie at your place…" Hiccup said. "What?" Jack said, he had been focusing on the incoming players. "I said that I forgot my beanie at your place…" Hiccup said. "Well just come over and get it sometime… Maybe tomorrow? And then you could bring all of your art stuff and portrait me if you like…" Jack suggested, looking a bit unsure. "Sounds great!" Hiccup said and Jack lit up. "Yeah? Do you really think so?" He asked. "Yes I do." Hiccup assured him.
"Hey, what is that all about?" Astrid asked, leaning in to join the conversation. "Ehum… Well… My beanie… I forgot it at Jacks place… So we decided I'd come over and portrait him tomorrow, since I promised that yesterday…" Hiccup stuttered. "Aha, I see." Astrid said, giving Hiccup a look and turning her attention towards the now started soccer game. Hiccup didn't really pay attention to the game, he was more focused on what Jack was doing and he was confused by how weird Astrid was today. But soon enough all his attention was on Jack. First the boy put a hand around Hiccups shoulders, then Hiccup decided he could play with Jacks fingers which were hanging down beside Hiccups face. Jack decided to poke Hiccups cheek from the other side so Hiccup turned his attention away from Jacks hand and towards Jack himself instead. "Hey!" Jack said and grinned. "Hey." Hiccup replied, grinning as well.
"Why did you poke my cheek?" Hiccup asked, looking at Jack with a small smile playing on his lips. "Because I wanted you to look at me instead of my hand!" Jack admitted, blushing a little. Hiccup chuckled a little, "Okay frosty, I'll look at you instead…" Hiccup said and gave Jack a smile that went over to something that looked more like an awkward grin, then he looked down because his cheeks heated up and changed color to a light pink tone. Jacks hand was resting on his thigh and Hiccup studied the shape of it, how the pale skin made the blue veins shine through and how big Jacks hands were. He stretched out his freckled hand to feel how Jacks hand felt, it looked so smooth and soft. He let his fingers trace first Jacks palm and then the back of the hand. Jacks hand was cold and smooth, it was really cold and the fact that it was resting on hiccups thigh, relatively far up didn't make things better. Hiccup almost panicked but could manage to calm himself down enough to not show it. Instead he traced up and down Jacks hand, feeling every detail over again.
"What are you doing Hic?" Jack asked as he started to chuckle. "I'm studying your hand, you know… It's to improve my art… It's really cold, you should wear gloves…" Hiccup stuttered, embarrassed by how long he had been tracing along Jacks fingers and drawing patterns in his palm. "Hey, stop pushing everything on you being an artist Hic, there's nothing wrong with tracing my hands… And I like the cold, it doesn't bother me…" Jack said. "Hmpf…" Hiccup grumbled and drew his hand back. "Hey don't stop Hic!" Jack exclaimed and stretched out to grab Hiccups hand. Hiccup cupped his hands around Jacks hand to heat him up a bit. Jack smiled a little at Hiccup and squeezed his thumb. After a while Hiccup decided to put his one arm around Jacks shoulders like Jack had done and the other hand ended up resting in Jacks lap. To be able to reach around Jacks shoulders he had to move closer to Jack and now their thighs were touching, rubbing against each other as they moved. Hiccup had stopped focusing on the game, all he could think was Jack is touching me, Jack is touching me, Jack is touching me.
"What are you two even doing?" Astrid asked when the match finally was over, "Did you even watch the match? Do you know who won?" Astrid asked giving both Hiccup and Jack weird glances. "We… um… you know…" Hiccup stuttered as they both tried to untangle each other as fast as possible, "We… Well, didn't the other team win the match? Um… I mean the one Snoutlout isn't in…" Jack continued, stuttering as much as Hiccup. "Well, apparently you didn't pay attention at all… The team Snoutlout is in won the match." Astrid said and stood up to exit the arena together with the others. "Well…" Jack said, "Did she get angry or something?" He asked Hiccup worriedly. "No, frosty, you don't need to worry, she's always like that." Hiccup explained.
As they came out of the stadium Astrid, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were staring at them. "What are you guys staring at?" Hiccup asked. "No… Nothing…" Astrid answered for the four of them and they all looked away. A few minutes passed and Snoutlout came running, screaming "Snoutlout, Snoutlout, Oi, Oi, Oi!" Over and over again. "Did you all see how great I played, it was because of me that we won!" Snoutlout said. "Well, some of us saw the match…" Astrid said giving Hiccup a meaningful look. "Can we go eat? I'm hungry!" Fishlegs said. "Okay, let's go!" Astrid said, grabbing Hiccups arm and taking the lead. Jack looked at her questioningly. "I'm just going to talk to Hiccup for a second, I promise I'll give him back soon, don't worry." Astrid said, winking to Jack who grinned and walked beside Fishlegs instead.
"So you like Jack?" Astrid asked, giving Hiccup a questioning look. "Well, we are friends, so yeah obviously…" Hiccup said avoiding answering the question, he so did not want to have this discussion with Astrid. "You know exactly I'm not talking about the friend zone. You know it's pretty obvious you are crushing on him." Astrid said giving Hiccup a long look. Hiccup sighed, "No I'm not! And it's not obvious at all!" Hiccup said angrily, a bright red blush creeping up on his cheeks. He didn't know what the bubbly feeling he got when he was around jack was, was it maybe a crush? Was Astrid right? Hiccup didn't know. "Hey Astrid… I don't know what I'm feeling to be honest… I don't know what those feelings are…" Hiccup said as he weakened and she looked at him with something that looked like empathy. "Hey Hiccup it's okay. I didn't mean to tease you, or to make you insecure, I just wanted to tell you that it to me looks like a crush… Like just so you know…" The other ways so secure girl now said with a more insecure tone in her voice and an insecure glance down on the ground. "I don't even know if he likes me…" Hiccup said a bit hopelessly. "I don't know but to me it looks like he does… But I can't make any promises even though it looks pretty much like you two are crushing on each other…" Astrid said giving Hiccup an encouraging pat on the shoulder. Hiccup decided to give her a hug before he went back to Jack, she smiled after him.
Jack saw Hiccup give Astrid a hug before he started walking towards his direction. He frowned and looked down, what was he even thinking? Why would Hiccup want Jack if he could have Astrid? He looked at the smaller teen and couldn't get over how cute and little he was, he wanted Hiccup to be all his. He knew he was being ridiculous and cheesy again, but if he was honest that was what he wanted. "Did it go good?" Jack asked. "Yeah, I guess so… Well I'm back now…" Hiccup stuttered smiling a little at Jack, he never knew what to do when he was around Jack and therefore he always acted a little extra awkward around the white haired male. He just wanted to tell Jack that he wanted a hug and that he never wanted to let go, that he wanted to play with Jacks hair and trace his hands a lot more and all the time with his small freckled hands, but he was too scared of denial to say anything at all. Instead he walked next to Jack in silence and now and then their arms brushed against each other.
After a little while they reached the fast food restaurant which was their aim, the only one who had been talking the whole time was Snoutlout, he had been boasting about how great he was and no one else had been able to speak, now as they reached the fast food restaurant Snoutlout finally shut up. They walked in and picked a table, Hiccup ended up next to Jack, which was good according to him, but on the other side of him there was Snoutlout, which was not as good as having only Jack on his right side and no Snoutlout on the left. Well, isn't this just great, he thought and picked up a menu. The menu was quickly ripped out of his hands, before he could even open it, by Snoutlout, this was going just great.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you… I can't recall me inviting you to my match…" Snoutlout hissed. "It's pretty hard to miss me, I'm not that small…" Hiccup shot back, in his sarcastic way. Jack glared at Snoutlout and Hiccup could see Astrid look displeasured by Snoutlout. "Just stop Snoutlout." Jack said, still upset. "Who told you to speak, this is between me and Hiccup, not between you and me Jack!" Snoutlout said in a tone that could only be described as mean. Jack was so upset he didn't care if Hiccup liked Astrid or not, he just wanted to defend his little Hic. "Well, if it has to do with Hiccup it has to do with me too!" Jack said. "Hey, snowflake calm down…" Hiccup said softly as he stroked Jacks arm, wait, oh no, he had called Jack one of his nicknames in public… What would the others think? Then he thought, it doesn't matter what they think, what matters is Jack, I don't care what they think. He was confused by himself for a moment until he came back to reality as Snoutlout spoke again.
"You act like… I don't know… Lovers… But that would be ridiculous, who would want to date Hiccup anyways and why would a boy date him… Ha, ha…" Snoutlout said, showing a spiteful smile at the devastating effect his words had on Hiccup and Jack. Both of them frowned deeply and blushed slightly, it was more of a blush of deep frustration and anger because Hiccup knitted his eyebrows and Jack glared at Snoutlout for a long time before he gave Hiccup a sad look. They both looked really broken and that was exactly what Snoutlout wanted, it was so unfair that Hiccup would be the next towns chief while Snoutlout wanted it so bad, to make his father proud.
"Enough Snoutlout! It's enough you stupid piece of shit! You don't, you don't say so… It's rude and mean and a lot of other things too, stop it Snoutlout!" Astrid busted out from nowhere, her face red of anger. "Hey Astrid, calm down, I'm sorry, okay?" Snoutlout said, smiling at her. Everyone knew he had made several attempts to win the blonde girls heart, but without success and that was why no one was surprised by his apology. The only thing Astrid responded was a muffled grumble before she turned to talk to Ruffnut instead.
"Can we eat now? I'm hungry." Fishlegs said in a try to help and to change the subject. Hiccup and Jack both sat quietly next to each other as the others started talking again. The small fight was soon forgotten by the others and they started laughing and talking again. They all ordered food and soon they were all eating burgers and fries and to that most of them were drinking coke but some had milkshakes. Hiccup and Jack ate in silence, giving each other shy glances now and then. They were afraid to even look at each other after what Snoutlout had said. After a while they started talking quietly and awkwardly tried to keep the conversation going.
"So… I'm sorry about him… You know… We're cousins and that's kind of awkward for me… And well it's unacceptable…" Hiccup stuttered quietly, once again losing his words because of Jacks presence, but now also shyly trembling with his words because of the hurtful comments Snoutlout had made. "I… You aren't the one to be sorry… He is the one who is a dick… I'm sorry too… That someone says something like that to you… Us… Anyone…" Jack said, with the same quiet, trembling voice. He looked down, once again realizing how cute the other teen was when he was upset or worried. He knew this was the wrong time to think that but he couldn't stop himself. The only thing Hiccup replied with was a short "Yeah." And then he was quiet again.
They spent the evening at the fast food restaurant. Around nine Hiccup didn't feel like staying anymore and he didn't want to leave Jack alone with Snoutlout, even though they wouldn't be all by themselves, but still, Hiccup thought. "Hey Jack…" Hiccup started, avoiding any of the nicknames he had given Jack to not draw any unnecessary attention from Snoutlout towards them. "Ehm… I'm heading home now… And I figured if you want we could go together and then none of us would have to walk alone in the dark… You know… I was just thinking…" Hiccup started stuttering again, fuck what was wrong with him, was this really what falling for someone felt like?
"Sounds great… Are we leaving now?" Jack said, giving Hiccup a small smile. "Yeah… I think that's good…" Hiccup replied. He announced it to the others. "Uhm guys… Jack and I are leaving now… So good night and thank you, it was mostly nice…" Hiccup said. "Bye guys" Ruffnut and Tuffnut said. Astrid waved them good bye with a sneaky grin and a smirk, "Good night you two, don't get lost boys!" She said, both Hiccup and Jack giving each other questioning looks. "Good bye guys, see you on Monday, Hiccup, you need to look at one of my mathematics problems then!" Fishlegs said, sounding very excited. "You know how terrible I am at mathematics!" Hiccup exclaimed and then added, "But I'll look at it anyways… Bye!" When they had almost exited the restaurant they could hear Snoutlout shout from behind them, "Bye losers!" But they both ignored it and walked out into the cold, dark January night.
The night was dark and cold, a million glistering stars twinkled in the sky and the two of them stopped to just take in the beautiful view, the tall white haired teen beside the short auburn haired one, slowly they started walking down the street towards home, into the dark night. Hiccup and Jack walked side by side, Hiccup struggling to keep up beside Jack who had much longer legs than him. Jack slowed down as he realized Hiccup had to almost jog to keep up and Hiccup gave him a thankful smile. They didn't need to say anything, both of them knew what the other was thinking, no words were needed.
Anyhow, after a while Hiccup decided to say something, "So did you enjoy the day even though it was fucked up in the end?" Was what Hiccup said. "Yeah, it was nice hanging out with you all day…" Jack said, "And with the others…" He quickly added, Hiccup was flattered that Jack had said only his name first, it had to mean something, right? "It was nice hanging out with you too… You are so nice to me…" Hiccup said, fuck, why did he say that? All compliments he tried to give Jack sounded stupid and cheesy. This really needed to stop, but did Hiccup want to stop? He liked calling Jack stupid things and giving him dorky compliments. Wait what? Why was he even thinking this?
"Hic, you alright?" Jack asked and gave Hiccup a worried look. "Um yeah... What? Why?" Hiccup stuttered. "I think you zoned out Hic, I said something but you never replied…" Jack said, still looking worried. "Oh, uh, sorry… What did you say?" Hiccup stuttered. "I… Uh… I said that I… Um… Can't wait until tomorrow… We… You know… You are coming over to my place… You know… Right?" Jack stuttered, Hiccup didn't get why he was so insecure all of a sudden, Jack wasn't usually this awkward. "I can't wait to be honest!" Hiccup said and blushed a little, it was true, he couldn't wait a second to get to paint Jack, even though he was afraid of what Jack would think of the picture. "Me neither…" Jack admitted, again. They both fell silent for a while, they were almost at Jacks house now.
They came to a stop in front of the house, from inside there were dim lights lit in the windows, they threw a mild yellowish light on the two of them as they stood in silence for a while. "So I guess I should go in then…" Jack said, even though he really didn't want to go in, all he wanted to do was take the freckled boy with him inside and cuddle up with him tightly. "Yeah…" Hiccup said looking down, he didn't want Jack to leave either, but none of them knew that the other was thinking the same so they didn't dare to say what they actually wanted to. "So bye then… It was really nice with you today…" Hiccup said and stepped closer, hoping for a hug. "It was… Yeah… Bye…" Jack stuttered and stepped closer, hoping for the same thing as Hiccup, a tight hug.
Hiccup held himself back for a second but then he put his arms around Jacks waist and embraced him in a tight hug. Hiccups head was leaning against Jacks chest, Jacks head on top of his. Jacks arms were slung around the shorter males back, holding on tightly like he was never going to let go. "I like you," Jack said, three simple words, three words that could ruin a whole life, three powerful words. Fuck, what had he done? He had said that to Hiccup and he didn't even know if Hiccup liked him too. Fuck.
"I like you too," Hiccup said, four simple words, with the same devastating effect, they could ruin a life, but they didn't, Jacks heart started beating just a little faster and he blushed brightly as he realized he was still holding on to the small teen, but he didn't want to let go.
Hiccup couldn't believe he had said that. He knew that didn't meant Jack liked him the same way too, he didn't know for sure how Jack had meant that, he maybe meant like friends, Hiccup couldn't know. Hiccup could feel Jack squeeze just a little harder and Hiccup did to, this was the best moment of his life, Jack had said he liked Hiccup, wow. Hiccup couldn't tell how much time passed but after a long time they let go of each other. Jacks cheeks were flushed pink as he said good bye and patted Hiccups arm one last time and Hiccup could tell his own cheeks were pink too. They both mumbled good night and walked off into different directions, Jack inside his house and Hiccup towards his home.
Hiccup closed the door quietly behind him, a sheepish grin on his face, Jack had said he liked Hiccup, by Odin, this had to be some cruel joke. But to be honest, Hiccup was too happy to care, Jack had said I like you and hugged him for ages! He silently went up the stairs, got himself ready for the night and dropped down on the bed. What a day, he thought. His thoughts once again went over to the white haired teen, his pale skin, blue eyes and lanky body. Jack was gorgeous. Hiccup couldn't deny it any more, the white haired boy had turned his world upside down. Hiccup knew for sure now, this was what falling in love was like, he was falling for Jack and he was aware of it. Hiccup was crushing on Jack and with that he meant crushing hard, Hiccup was falling head over feet for the pale teen with the frost white hair and there was nothing he could do about it, there was nothing he wanted to do about it.
Oh my god, I made it happen, they are finally both aware of their crushes, I'm so happy because I could honestly not wait any longer with making it happen, I'm honestly proud of myself that I could push it forward until now, I just wanted to make them kiss from the first sentence of this fiction but well I wanted to make it a good fan fiction so... Well anyhow here you go, have some Hijack and be happy…
