Sorry for the horrific wait on this next chapter. I've been really damn distracted recently by a hundred different things that I won't bore you with. But this one's dedicated to pikianoa and it's number 19, which was 'Free Delivery'. I am well aare that the plot doesn't really have anything to do with the prompt but I was watching AHS while writing this so my mind went to weird places ans this so where we ended up, so enjoy x

"Hey Jack, what were the extra toppings you wanted again?"
Jack's ears perked up at the sound. Extra toppings? Hiccup never usually let him pay the extra money to get those… Said it was pointless when they are already so many options on the menu. Hiccup was in the kitchen on the phone to Pizza Magic, their local delivery service, because Jack might've maybe almost burned the flat down trying to cook them a lasagne.
"Extra chicken and bacon please!" He called back from his sofa crease position in the lounge. He heard Hiccup repeat what he'd said and then a few thank you's and their address and then he was walking back into the lounge, phone still in hand.
"How come I got my toppings this time?" Jack asked as Hiccup flopped down onto the sofa next to him, pulling his knees up to his chest and snuggling into him.
"Huh? Oh, well the guy on the phone said that if our order was over £10, they can deliver for free, and we were on like £9.29. Your toppings bumped it up to £10.29 so we got the delivery fee taken off the bill."
"Ah, so it was just to save money, and not because you love me because I'm the best boyfriend in the world…" Jack mocked an offended face and crossed his arms.
"And because I love you and you're the best boyfriend in the whole universe…" Hiccup leaned over and landed a quick kiss on Jack's nose.
"Nice save." Jack grinned, and then picked up the TV remote, "What d'you wanna watch while we wait?"
"Don't mind…" Hiccup mumbled.
"Aw don't do that. Now all the pressure's on me to pick something good." Jack groaned as he flicked through all the movies and TV shows on Netflix. It had had an update since the last time they'd binge watched something together and the new selections all looked pretty good. "Well, I think the first question should be movie or show?"
Hiccup paused for a second. "Well, neither of us have work tomorrow so why not have a binge session of something?"
"Sounds good."
"Something new?" Jack flicked through the TV shows on the screen, pausing to read the descriptions of any interesting sounding ones, "Or d'you wanna just rewatch something we've seen before?"
"Nah definitely something new. Hey what's that one?" Hiccup perked up, grabbing the remote from Jack and hovering it over a particular show.
Voltron: Legendary Defender
"Really? Looks like a kid's show?" Jack raised an eyebrow at the picture, "Kinda looks like a rip-off of Power Rangers."
"No no no no, this show, oh my god, I used to- damn, this is like so nostalgic, they- aw man, it's been rebooted. That is so cool, I used to live off this show. It aired in like, the eighties, but my Dad had all these video tapes of the episodes and I'd spend days on end just watching them. This show- dude, this show was insane! Please can we watch it? I promise you won't be disappointed, you'll love it. I mean, if they've rebooted it well, that is…"
Jack was sure Hiccup hadn't paused for breath at all during that little outburst, as he sat there now, staring at him eagerly and gasping for air.
"Please please please?" He repeated, hands clasped together like he was praying.
"Yeah sure. Just, Jesus, Hiccup, breathe... You're freaking me out." Jack pressed play on the first episode and Hiccup squealed excitedly, pressing himself further into the side of Jack and pulling a cushion up onto his lap.
"Hell yes!" Hiccup punched the air, a massive toothy smile across his face, "You are not gonna regret this, I swear."
"Okay okay, I get it. I'm gonna love it… But try not to fangasm too hard 'cos we've got a pizza on the way, remember?" Jack pulled several blankets over the two of them as they snuggled into each other.
Hiccup just giggled to himself as the episode began. They were both trying to get comfortable in their tangle of blankets through the starting credits and Dreamworks logo.
"Gotta love Dreamworks, eh?" Jack said, but Hiccup didn't reply other than with a nod, completely absorbed in the TV screen.
As the episode went on, Jack couldn't help but become equally as enthralled by what was happening. Neither of them spoke at all for at least the first thirty minutes of the hour long pilot.
Then the doorbell interrupted them.
The two nearly toppled the sofa over completely in their scramble to get up. Limbs waved about and cushions went bouncing away in all directions as Hiccup desperately tried to get himself out of their blanket fort
"Crap, oh god no, Hic- you gotta, no-!" Jack tried to reach out and grab Hiccup so he wouldn't hurt himself, but in his frantic escape attempt, he got his feet caught in the blankets wrapped around his legs and toppled forward.
Hiccup's head hit the edge of the coffee table with a sickening crack.
"Hiccup!" Jack was up and leaping over the table himself in less than a second. "Hiccup!" He knelt down and turned him over. "Hic, buddy? Can you hear me?!" Jack was yelling now. "Hiccup! Oh my god, c'mon, wake up!"
Hiccup's eyes stayed shut and his mouth hung slightly open as Jack shook him in his arms. A tiny trickle of red was running down his face from a cut just above his eyebrow.
"Oh no no no, Hic, can you hear me? Please wake up, please!"
The TV was still playing. The doorbell was still ringing. And Jack was still screaming. But Hiccup, the only one Jack needed to hear right there, remained silent and motionless.
"Hiccup!" Jack shook him again. "Please!"
The doorbell rang again.
"Fuck off!" Jack screamed over his shoulder.
Now, there was someone knocking hard, banging on the door.
"Hiccup, please wake up!" Jack yelled again, the knocking syncing up with his frantic heartbeat and drumming through his brain like the worst kind of headache. The knocking didn't stop. Jack thought he was going to explode from the pressure in his head, so in one swift movement, he laid Hiccup down and ran to the door, swinging it open.
"What the fuck is your problem?!" He spat.
The guy on the other side immediately stepped past Jack, pushing him aside, dropped the two pizza boxes onto the kitchen counter and made straight for where Hiccup was lying on the floor.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing-?!" Jack yelled, chasing after the guy.
"Heard you yelling." He replied from his position knelt next to Hiccup, "He hit his head, right?"
"Y-yeah, but you can't just-" Jack was left standing there in the doorway, unable to do anything as the pizza guy lifted Hiccup's limp head up and examined the wound. "W-what are you doing?"
"Pizza delivery is my part time job. I'm training to be a doctor." The guy stated, finally giving Jack some kind of explanation, regardless of how flimsy it seemed at the moment. Jack couldn't think of what to say to that so he didn't say anything.
"What's his name?"
"Huh-?" Jack croaked out, moving forward to crouch next to the guy and Hiccup.
"His name… I need to know his name."
"Oh, uh. It's Hiccup." Jack stammered. "His name is Hiccup."
"Okay." At this, the guy brought Hiccup's head onto his lap and starting moving his fingers around his hairline and scalp, being careful to avoid the cut on his forehead. "Hiccup?" He said softly, but still rather loudly. "Hiccup, can you hear me? If you can hear me, do something to show me."
Pizza guy continued to feel around Hiccup's head and neck, pausing every now and again.
"Why isn't he answering?" Jack asked. "Is he okay?"
"Calm down. He's going to be alright. He doesn't have any major injuries. It was just a bump to the head that knocked him out. He should be okay in a few minutes."
Jack didn't say anything.
"What's your name?" Pizza guy asked after a few more seconds of anxious staring.
"Jack."
"Okay Jack. I'm Tadashi. Help me lift him onto the sofa. He'll be comfier there when he wakes up."
"Okay…" Jack was totally dumbstruck, confused about what was happening and how he should've been reacting to it all. Together, he and Tadashi lifted Hiccup up onto the blanket covered sofa and Tadashi stepped back to let Jack get him more comfortable. Jack nearly dropped the blankets a few times, his fingers were shaking so much, as he draped them over Hiccup and lifted his head gently to put cushions behind it. When he was done, he sat back onto the floor next to Hiccup's head and stared at his unconscious (now there was a word he wished he'd never have to say again) boyfriend.
"How long before he wakes up?" He asked, not looking away.
"It won't be too long. I can stay here until he does if you like? Just for peace of mind, y'know?"
Jack just nodded.
"Voltron?" Tadashi said, and Jack assumed he was looking at the TV, which was still on.
"Hiccup wanted to watch it." Jack mumbled, a slight smile creeping up onto the corner of his mouth.
"It's good. Make sure you finish the episode when Hiccup wakes up." Tadashi crouched and then sat down next to Jack. "Pizza's on me, by the way."
Jack looked away from Hiccup to Tadashi.
"You don't need to worry about paying me after all this, okay?"
"Thank you." Jack whispered, tearing his eyes away and back to Hiccup. "What if he doesn't-? Hic-?"
Hiccup's eyelids fluttered, and slowly opened.
"Hiccup, oh my god, are you okay? Can you hear me? Say something." Jack knew he was smothering Hiccup with questions, but he couldn't stop himself.
Hiccup didn't reply, but screwed his eyes shut and made a weird murmuring noise.
"Hiccup, how does your head feel? Any pain or heat anywhere?" Tadashi asked, reaching forward and helping Jack to steady Hiccup as he sat himself up.
"Nah, just kinda aches…" He groaned, looking between the two of them in confusion, "W-what happened anyway-?"
"You slam-dunked onto the coffee table, doofus…" Jack sighed, and he was embarrassed to admit that his eyes were tearing up a little as he watched Hiccup blink up at him, still looking dazed.
"Oh… s'the pizza here yet?" Hiccup finally seemed to wake up fully and became aware of what was going on. "Uh, who are you?"
"This is Tadashi. The pizza guy." Jack explained, "He helped. He's uh, a doctor?"
"Oh, 'kay, makes sense. Thanks…" Hiccup nodded his head to Tadashi, but immediately grimaced and sat back against the sofa arm.
"Just relax for a while, okay Hiccup. Your head is going to be delicate for a couple of hours at least, so don't strain too much."
"Right…" Hiccup shut his eyes again and put a hand over his forehead. "Uh, I feel sick."
"I should get going now anyway." Tadashi straightened up, ghosting a hand over Jack's shoulder by way of saying goodbye.
"No no no wait!" Jack jumped up and followed Tadashi as he walked back through the kitchen. "Um, I don't know what to say other than uh, thanks and thanks for helping and oh, thanks for the pizza and just… thanks?" Jack realised he was rubbing the back of his neck and desperately trying to sound as grateful as he could, but finding it hard to find the words.
"Hey, it's fine. If you need me again, just call Pizza Magic and ask for Hamada. Enjoy the pizzas and have fun with the rest of Voltron too."
"Oh man, thank you so much and we will. Thanks Tadashi!" Jack called after him as he hurried his way out of the door, waving.
The door closed and suddenly Jack was back in overprotective boyfriend mode.
"Hiccup, do not move!" He ordered, as he rushed back into the lounge and spotted Hiccup trying to get to his feet, wobbling dangerously. He grabbed Hiccup's arm and gently pulled him back onto the sofa.
"We didn't pay the pizza guy…" He groaned.
"Don't worry about it. He have 'em to us for free."
"What?"
"Free pizzas dude. Tadashi was a legend." Jack laughed as Hiccup's face spread into a confused smile as well. "You sure you're okay? Jesus, you scared me so much."
"Mmm hmm, I'm good-"
Jack muffled the rest of Hiccup's reply with a tight, but comforting hug. "Hic, don't do that ever again. Please…"
"It's… not like… I did it… on purpose, Jack…" He hugged him back, clenching his slightly shaky hands around Jack's waist. "Sorry…" The two continued to just hold each other for a few minutes, quietly content with the sound of the others breathing and the credit music softly playing from the TV. They'd missed half the episode, but they could go back to it.
"Hey Jack?"
"Mmm?"
"I love you."
Jack's lip trembled just a little as he pulled out of the hug to stare at his boyfriend, who still had a tiny trickle of crimson travelling across his eyebrow and a faraway look in his eyes.
"I love you too. So much." Jack whispered, and before Hiccup had a chance to reply, he leaned in and kissed him.
It was a soft, warm meeting of their lips which lasted maybe a few seconds longer than usual, but it was exactly what they both wanted. After Jack pulled away again, Hiccup gave a quick smile and then launched back into the kiss again. This time, Hiccup's mouth was open and Jack could feel his warm breath mingling with his own as they shifted to get comfortable on the pile of blankets and cushions.
"Hic…" Jack gasped as he deepened the kiss, and wrapped his arms around the other's waist. Hiccup was never usually like this when they made out, so Jack was suspicious of a concussion, but who was he to complain? Jack closed his eyes as Hiccup's tongue pushed its way through his open lips and began to dance with his own.
Damn, this was nice…
Jack was melting into the embrace, loving every second that their bodies moved together, wanting more every time they drew back for breath.
After a few more minutes of kissing and trying not to fall off the sofa sideways, Jack lifted his head and just laid and stared at his wonderful, beautiful, concussed boyfriend. Hiccup smiled back at him, eyes droopy and tired, but face looking unexplainably happy.
"I love you so much." Jack said again, pulling Hiccup closer to him. "But if you ever make me worry like that again, I think I'll have to kill you…"
Hiccup's face exploded into a laugh and before either of them knew it, they were back where they started, lips and bodies pressing against each other and stupid giggles filling the room.
Back on the kitchen table, the two pizza boxes lay forgotten, getting cold, for the rest of the night.

Alright, hope you enjoyed! This was probably the smuttiest thing I've ever written so forgive me for the awkwardness towards the end. Also, Tadashi ma boi! Gotta love Tadashi eh?
Anyone notice the little The Office moment I tried to throw in there, where I can imagine them both looking straight into the camera when they say "Gotta love Dreamworks, eh?" Wow, loved writing that. PS VOLTRON... ANYONE? No, just me? Goddamn. It's such a good show! Thinking about writing a fic about my all time favourite ship atm, Klance. If you haven't watched it, pls do. It's a perfect show in literally every way possible. I mean, giant space cats... C'mon?
Hope you liked this one and I'm sorry for not updating my other two stories in so long. All my stories will most likely be put on temporary hiatus until after xmas because I'm so busy, but don't give up on me pls!
