Fall For You
"Being my longest and closest friend, you can't tell anyone, not even Jamie or Pitch, what I'm about to tell you." Jack said, pointing at Hiccup and propping his feet up on Hiccup's desk.
Hiccup raised his eyebrows and looked up from his textbook and over at Jack "Is it bad? Because if it's involving the risk of your health I'm at least telling Jamie"
Jack rolled his eyes and threw a pencil at him "No, it's not bad. It's about the bet."
Hiccup tossed his book to the side, giving Jack his full attention now. They had been waiting for what felt like months for Jack to either win or lose the bet.
Hiccup was the only person he planned on telling. He didn't want Pitch to know and he knew Hiccup could keep his mouth shut if Jack asked him to. Jamie was a different story.
He trusted Hiccup with his life.
"I slept with her last night."
Hiccup smiled and leaned forward, hitting Jack's shoulder "Dude! How was it?"
Jack rolled his eyes. He wasn't about to go into detail about having sex with her, even if it's just Hiccup, it's awkward for him. What could he possibly tell him? That it was nice to actually have sex with a girl he cared about? He chuckled and shook his head "It as okay, seeing as she had never done it before." he shrugged trying to play it off as a big deal.
"Why don't you want to tell Pitch and Jamie?"
Jack looked away from him. This was the part he had trouble deciding "I... Just don't want them to know."
"Jack. There's more to it than just that" Hiccup said with an eye roll.
Jack had almost forgotten who he was talking to. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. His best friend for as long as he can remember. The only person who can read him like an open book. It was no surprise when he realized Jack was hiding something.
"I think I fell in love with her"
Hiccup was expecting a secret, but that he fell in love with Rapunzel? He wasn't expecting that. "In love... With Rapunzel Corona?"
Jack gave Hiccup an innocent look "She's better than Elsa"
"Anyone is better than Elsa." Hiccup said with a smile "Does Rapunzel know?"
Jack shook his head. He had wanted to tell her the night before the minute he realized it. Who knew Jackson Overland could get nervous? He had never gotten nervous a day in his life, and then he met Rapunzel.
"I couldn't do it. I was going to when I figured it out, but she made me really nervous?"
Hiccup didn't bother holding back his laughing. He had never heard his best friend get nervous before, so it was funny to him "Rapunzel made you nervous? Little Rapunzel Corona? She's like half your size, dude!"
Jack rolled his eyes and crossed his arms "Not nervous that she would hurt me, nervous that she would reject me?"
"She slept with you, I don't think she would reject you." Hiccup chuckled and shook his head, leaning back to pick his book back up "Now if I fail this test because you're too chicken to tell Rapunzel, I'm hurting you."
Jack rolled his eyes "You're a nerd"
"We're waiting, Rapunzel." Merida said, with a smile on her face.
Rapunzel turned so her back was now to her friends. She had told them all about her and Jack's date, and how it ended. Ana and Merida seemed excited by it, but Astrid had this look like she wanted to kill him.
"He was sweet and gentle."
Merida and Ana squealed with excitement while Astrid snorted. She swore when she saw Jack she was going to kill him.
"That's so exciting, Punzie!" Ana smiled.
"What's exciting?" Jack asked as he walked over to them.
Rapunzel smiled up at him and kissed his cheek "It's nothing."
Jack looked away from Rapunzel and at her friends. Merida and Ana were both smiling like they were up to something. Then his eyes landed on Astrid who was glaring daggers at him. In the blink of an eye she had stepped forward and punched him in the chest "You're such an idiot, Jack."
Jack's eyes widened and he put a hand up to his chest "You're going to kill me one day, Hofferson."
Astrid rolled her eyes and grabbed Jack's arm, pulling him away from Rapunzel. Rapunzel watched, her eyes wide. She knew Astrid had a low tolerance for the guy, but she didn't know she would hit him over God knows what.
Jack pulled his arm away from Astrid and glared "What was that for?!"
"You slept with her?"
"Yes." He didn't bother hiding it from Astrid. She would hurt him ten times worse if he even tried to lie "Did Hiccup tell you?"
"Rapunzel."
Jack crossed his arms "Sometimes I forget your friends with someone like her."
"I'm going to ignore that comment." she said with a glare "Why haven't you said anything to Pitch?"
"I don't plan to. And I really don't want you to either."
Astrid raised an eyebrow "Why not?"
Jack sighed. Astrid was the last person he wanted to tell about his feelings for Rapunzel, but she was going to find out sooner or later, right?
"I actually like her. And I know that once Pitch finds out that I slept with her he'll try to get me on some other one of his bets, and I don't want to leave Rapunzel."
Astrid's face relaxed and she smiled "You actually like her?" Jack nodded and was expecting to be hit, since that's what Astrid always did when he realized things too late. He was surprised when she pulled him into a hug "Jack! That's so good to hear from you!"
Jack pushed her away with a laugh "If you don't mind, I'm going back over to her. Also, do me a favor, and not tell Jamie."
Astrid tilted her head to the side "What? Why?"
Jack chuckled "Sometimes, he can't keep his mouth shout."
Astrid was going to protest but shut her mouth and nodded instead, he did have a point. She watched him walk back over to Rapunzel, slipping an arm around her waist.
Those two were good together.
