All of you have inspired me to write more... All the reviews were just amazing, so here is another one!
Oh gods my stomach will never be the same again after those limpets. I guess some viking traditions never die huh? After having those awful limpets, I head upstairs to see if Jack had texted me. He usually texts me around this time, and if he doesn't I do. We agreed to do that so then we don't randomly stop talking, and we both agreed that we enjoy each others company so why not?
"Hey bud are you sleeping in my room or not? I will let you sleep in the living room if you want...?"
Toothless was pawing at the hallway plant again. Its like catnip to him or something because you'll always find him there or in my room. Toothless finally stopped when I mentioned the living room, and he pranced into my room swiftly. Last time he slept in the living room dad sat on him.
Closing the door and locking it I sigh in relief. I can finally relax for the rest of the night without any worries... Or so I thought.
Random question, but do you have a gf/bf by chance?
Why is he asking this? I thought it would be blatantly obvious that I don't, but Jack is a little slow sometimes. I reply and hit send when I realize something. MAYBE, just maybe... Pffttt no of course not! Why would he want someone like me? He could probably pick up someone so much better than me by just smiling. He's probably just asking because it popped in his head and he became curious. There is no way he would-
Will you be my boyfriend?
My heart just stopped... This must be a joke right? Or is he being serious? I have to call him to find out or else the texting will get to me. Calling Jack didn't take long because after one ring he picked up,
"OH MY GOD PLEASE DON'T HATE ME. IF YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT IT WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS RIGHT? PLEASE DON'T HATE ME HICCUP I-"
"Were you actually serious though?"
Silence on the other line made me hitch my breath.
"...Yes. I like you a lot Hiccup, but I don't want my crush on you to effect our friendship. It just hurts a lot when you like someone and they don't even know of your feelings... you know?"
I can't believe it. Jackson Overland, the boy of my dreams, LIKES ME?
"Um, can I ask what is so special about me? I mean, I'm just... me."
"Hiccup, you are you and that's what make you perfect. Er well um... A-At least in my mind. Okay that was creepy I promise I won't do that again-"
"Yes."
"Wait what? Yes what?"
"Yes I want to be your boyfriend. I mean it's going to be hard with being long distance, but I trust you enough to not cheat and to always text me back so yeah, its a yes from me."
Hey dad I got a boyfriend! Hopefully he understands the LGBTQ community enough. Wait did his phone just drop?
"JACK! Jack are you okay?"
"Y-Yes... I'm just... Dying. I'm fine though... BUT LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS LIKE YOU WANT TO BE MY BOYFRIEND LIKE I CAN'T RIGHT NOW LIKE-"
"YES JACK I LIKE YOU A LOT CALM DOWN. I swear you have as much energy as a five year old..."
All I can here is suppressed screaming from him. Do I really make him this happy?
"I'll be the best boyfriend I can be! I can't take you out on dates, but we could do those virtual dates right? Oh and I could mail you things! We could make shitty cards with hearts all over them!"
"Oh gosh you are too cute why weren't you my boyfriend sooner?"
HICCUP STOP WHERE IS ALL THIS COMING FROM?
"...I'll have to step up my flirting game too."
Jack makes one of those dramatic coughs so he can gain my attention, and then he says:
"Are you a pie? Because you make my banana cream."
Oh Hel no he just didn't. Now I can't stop laughing.
"Where did you get that from?"
"Made that one up all on my own! Did you like it? Am I stepping my boundaries or...?"
"You're fine Jack. Too fine if you ask me."
I blame Astrid for my flirting abilities. Or maybe its because I sass people so much that flirting comes naturally for me?
"Dammit you win Haddock, but I'll get you next time... AND YOUR LITTLE CAT TOO!"
"Goodnight Jack. I'm expecting one of those virtual dates tomorrow."
"Aw already? Okay then... Goodnight my Dandelion."
"Dandelion?"
"Orange is the New Black is amazing."
With that the line went dead. Damn Jack and his references, but I can't wait for this virtual date. I mean, what does a virtual date look like?
"JAMIE HE SAID YES. HE SAID YES AND THAT I WAS TRUSTWORTHY. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS MY BOYFRIEND NOW LIKE HE IS TOO PERFECT."
"Done now?"
"No. THOSE FRECKLES ARE MINE. Now I'm done."
"Good, because first I must congratulate you on your success, but how does one online date?"
"Simple. You could Skype while having a fancy meal on both ends. We could play Second Life together, or we do an activity at the same time while we are on the phone. Anything is good while we are having fun doing it."
"Wow you're in deep. This Hiccup must be a nice guy. Maybe I should meet him..."
"OMG YES JAMIE YOU NEED TO MEET HIM. He is so perfect and sweet you'll love him!"
"Okay, do you know when he's on? Who am I kidding, of course you know."
"Not right now because he's sleeping, but sometime in the morning would be good because he will be home from school by then."
I then hear a loud bang coming from downstairs. I take a moment to registered what happened, and then I dashed out of my room leaving Jamie sill on the line. I find my sister Emma in the kitchen covered in flour, matching the flour covered floor.
"Are you okay? Why are you baking by yourself too?"
"I was trying to make you something... Then the flour got too heavy and I dropped it."
Looking over at the counter, I find M&M cookies. I take one and bite into it, and I immediately spit them out. Chunks of flour and half baked batter is all that there is in this cookie besides the M&M's.
"Here, do you want me to help? We can make even better ones if we work together."
Emma who had a defeated face beamed.
"Okay! I have more M&M's! A LOT more!"
Emma runs towards the cupboard and takes out two huge bags of M&M's. I start cleaning up Emma's mess of flour and gooey batter. In no time we cleaned up and had a nice batch of M&M cookies.
"So care to tell me why you wanted to make me cookies so badly?"
Emma looks down at the pan of cookies and frowns.
"I've read some things online about how gay people get harassed and bullied so much that they have a higher rate of death. I thought that maybe doing little things like this would help you in some way... Stupid I know."
I can't help but to stare at Emma. She is only in fourth grade... She shouldn't be knowing these things, but she does.
"Well, no one knows that I'm gay besides you and my friend who is now my boyfriend? That is so weird on the tongue, anyways-"
"JACK YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?"
"EMMA keep it down! I have no idea who is home or not and-"
"Jackson?"
Both Emma and I turn to see our father North standing in the doorway.
I just want school to be over with. Snotlout keeps doing potato jokes, and Jack hasn't texted all day yet which is REALLY weird. Does he not want to be my boyfriend anymore? Feeling like shit again, I head to the library like usual. I can't help but feel that sense of security whenever I walk into this place. I sit down at my usual table in the back and I start up my laptop.
"Hello Hiccup, how have you been?"
"Oh hey Ms. Vinka. I'm just waiting for my laptop to log in so I can play my game."
"That Berk game right?"
"Yep that one. I'm still in that tournament that I told you about."
"Still friends with that new boy that you met?"
"Well uh, now that you mention him... He's sorta...Kinda..."
"Your boyfriend?"
"Yes I- Wait HOW DO YOU KNOW."
"Oh Hiccup this is great! Your first boyfriend! This is amazing! I have to tell your-"
Ms. Vinka stopped her sentence completely. Tell my what?
"-Tell your boyfriend how great of a catch you are! I must meet him one day of course."
"Oh okay I'll try to set up something so you can meet him. He is an amazing guy, and he fanboys a lot so you better watch out."
"I look forward to it."
With that Ms. Vinka goes off into the shadows once again. I felt like something was off, but I didn't want to push it. Truth be told she is my only friend in this godforsaken school, and I don't want to mess that up. Hearing a dragon screech I look back at my dragons. I just got a message from BelieveinY0urself19.
Hey I heard that you're Jack's cute freckled boyfriend. Congratulations. How about a match?
As you all can see, I love to cause more shit to the shit pile. At least I have something to write for the next couple of chapters.
mistee- Don't worry, I want his babies as well ;-;
Kitsu Maxwell- Hiccup's heart stopped and Jack died, so yeah much freaking out :3
