It was half past five in the morning when Hiccup woke up. It had become a habit for him to wake up this early, one he wasn't a fan of. Swinging himself around so his legs hung off of the edge of his bed, Hiccup looked down at his feet and gave a small smile. He'd been quite a bad car crash a few years ago when a truck smashed into his car. Hiccup had managed to get out of the car crash with little injuries but when he was at the hospital, he took a turn for the worst and is left foot, up to his ankle had to be amputated. Shaking his head at the memory, Hiccup picked up his prosthetic foot and slid it onto the end of his leg before strapping it into place.

Slowly, Hiccup made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. While the kettle was boiling, he decided he would go clean up the front room. Upon entering it, he began to pick up the empty beer bottles that all four of them had managed to go through during the previous night and dispose of them into the kitchen. Making his way back in, Hiccup's gaze strayed to the loveseat where Jack and Rapunzel were still sleeping. They'd shifted during the night and Jack had moved so Rapunzel could rest her back against his chest and wrap an arm over her waist. Hiccup shook his head slightly, noticing that Jack's back was very close to the edge of the couch itself, knowing that if the boy moved even slightly, that he'd go tumbling to the floor.

As he picked up a near empty bowl of popcorn, Hiccup heard the click of the kettle back in the kitchen and made his way back there to throw the rest of the popcorn away and put the bowl in the sink. Hiccup had just began to pour out his coffee when he heard a large thump from the front room and reached up to grab another mug to pour out for Jack. Walking back into the front room with the two mugs, Hiccup found Jack sitting on the floor scratching his head and looking around.

"Here" Hiccup said, passing Jack the mug and sitting back in the chair he'd been in the previous night.

"Thanks" Jack replied, accepting the beverage and taking a sip of it. "Have I been down here the whole night?"

"Yeah, you fell asleep during the film, I think I went up to bed not long after that, then I heard Merida follow up as well" Hiccup spoke again before nodding toward Rapunzel who was still asleep on the loveseat. "Rapunzel stayed down here the entire night"

Looking behind him, Jack smiled slightly noticing Rapunzel shift in her sleep and turn to face the two of them. Putting his mug on the floor, Jack went to his bag which was still on the floor and pulled out a blanket before walking back and draping it over Rapunzel. Turning back to Hiccup who was sat looking at him whilst he sipped at his coffee, Jack just picked his coffee back up again and began sipping at it so the two were left in a comfortable silence. The light haired boy felt like saying something but he didn't know what to say, all he could notice was the fake foot attached to Hiccups leg, only visible because the boy wore shorts to bed the previous night.

"So.. how'd that happen?" Jack asked him, motioning to Hiccup's leg. "If you don't mind my asking?"

"Oh my leg?" Hiccup replied, looking down at his leg when Jack brought it up. "I was in a car accident, all happened a bit too fast and it was crushed so badly it had to be removed"

"Wow, sorry to hear about that" Jack replied, slightly astounded. "How long ago did that happen?"

"I think about two and a half years ago" The dark haired boy told him, nodding his head and bringing his coffee cup back tp to his lips.

The two of them fell into another comfortable silence while they both finished off their coffees. Hiccup couldn't help but look at Jack out the corner of his eye, a question playing on his lips, but unsure whether he should ask it incase the light haired boy would talk offense. Watching Jack put his empty mug on the floor, Hiccup decided to ask the question anyhow, as the boy had asked him about his leg, he should be able to ask his question without the boy taking offense.

"So.. your hair, is it.." Hiccup trailed off, unsure whether he wanted to finish the question when Jack turned to face him.

"Natural?" Jack finished for him, letting out a chuckle.

"Yeah, that's what I was going to say" Hiccup said looking down at his mug before back at Jack.

"Yeah it is" Jack said with a grin, running a hand through his hair. "My hair was brown for the first I don't know.. ten years of my life? As I got older, it slowly began to lose pigment until it was completely white."

"Really? I've never heard of that happening" Hiccup said with a bit of awe.

"Genetics" Jack told him, giving him a shrug. "Its pretty rare"

The two of them allowed the conversation to die and slowly went back to what they were doing before; Jack losing himself in his thoughts, remembering back when he had lost the pigment in his hair, and how scared he was at the time. He hated it, he felt like the freak of the class and of the neighbourhood, the kid with white hair though he was born with brown, a lot of neighbours and school kids used to say how his mother lied about who his father was and instead dyed his hair brown for ten years, others used to just call him names.

"Hey Dad?" A ten year old Jack asked, looking up at his father who was carrying Jack's backpack on his shoulder, after picking him up from school.

"Yeah, Jack?" Johnathon, Jack's dad replied, looking down at his son whose eye's were still tinged red from where he had been crying.

"Why is my hair like this?" Jack questioned, a hand flying up to his hair and pulling at it.

Johnathon sighed slightly, he had been called by Jack's principle and asked if he could pick his son up at lunch time as the boy had been subjected to bullying again. It wasn't the first time that this had happened, but it was the first time Jack had reacted to it, landing about three of them in the nurses office with injuries ranging from a scraped knee to a split lip. He ruffled his son's hair before pulling him into a one armed hug and smiling down at him.

"Because Jack, you're different than those other children" Johnathon told him softly, it was true after all.

"I don't like being different, that's why I'm in that school" Jack muttered, hiding his face in his father's shirt.

It wasn't a secret that Jack had trouble at school, he couldn't sit still, he had to constantly be moving as he couldn't concentrate just sitting down. Johnathon and Evelyn, Jack's mother, were already discussing whether or not to let Jack change school again as he certainly wasn't happy at this one. They still had to worry about their youngest, Emma, she had nothing wrong with her, she was perfect, but they feared that she would think that they prefer Jack over her due to the amount of time they spent talking about him, caring for him after he was bullied and helping him when it came to work or sorting out what was wrong.

"That's the thing Jack, you're not just any kind of different.." Johnathon told his son, bending down so he was looking him straight in the eye. "..you're better"

Jack's lips slowly pulled back into a hundred watt smile and he launched himself at his father, wrapping his arms around him in a hug and just stood there. His father was unresponsive at first, he was never too comfortable when it came to affection but slowly, he wrapped an arm around his son and hugged him, his cheek pressing against Jack's head.

"Thanks Dad" Jack whispered, knowing his father couldn't hear him but knowing it was a lesson which had stuck with him for so many years.

Shaking his head, Jack ran a hand through his hair and stood up, taking the now empty mug back into the kitchen and leaving it in the sink, making a vow that he would wash it when he came back. Walking back through, Jack gave Hiccup a smile and made a motion toward the stairs, hoping he'd get the jist of it before disappearing up them and shutting himself into the bathroom and locking the door behind him, just incase Merida decided to throw it open while he was in the shower.

Hiccup had heard Jack thanking his dad but didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't intrude on people's lives unless they told him personally. He was curious though as to what memory Jack had found himself in when he slipped into his day dream, Hiccup was no stranger to day dreaming either so he knew when he saw Jack that he must have found himself in a memory which was of importance to him. Hearing a rustling beside him, Hiccup looked over toward the loveseat and saw Rapunzel laying there with her green eyes wide open, staring over at Hiccup who was still nursing his coffee.

"Morning" She said with a smile lighting up her whole face.

"Morning Rapuzel, I'm afraid you just missed Jack, he's just gone to have a shower" Hiccup told her, taking another sip of his coffee and giving her a knowing smile.

"Lets hope he's locked the door incase Merida decides that she wants a shower" Rapunzel giggled slightly before allowing herself to go into a stretch then yawned. "So what were you boys talking about at this time of the morning?"

"Oh you know, amputated limbs, pigmentation of hair" Hiccup listed off with a shrug of his shoulders, reaching down to pick Toothless up as she walked past his chair, purring.

"Oh?" The blonde girl replied, her voice laced with curiosity.

"Turns out, his hair is completely natural" He told her, a hand running through his own hair at the subject of the conversation.

"Seriously? Is he like albino or something?" Rapunzel asked, her eyebrows furrowing as she tried to work out what could make Jack's hair that colour.

"No, he had a very rare genetic combination which caused his hair to lose pigment when he was only ten years old, apparently, before that, he had brunette hair" Hiccup told her, inwardly rolling his eyes at the fact that he was outrightly gossiping with Rapunzel. He had been living with girls for far too long.

The scene I had with Jack and his dad hugging, I imagined when Jamie hugged Jack and his reaction. So yeah. Some Jack and Hiccup friendshipping.
