Different Perspective, a sidestory
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Snoutlout never liked his cousin, everyone in school knows that. Some might've even forgotten that they were related to begin with for all the crap Snoutlout puts the scrawny nerd through. What they didn't know was the reason. The real reason.
His father Spade Jorgenson, also known as Spitelout to close friends and family, always had high expectations for his son, sometimes too high for the young teen to reach. Back in Junior High, Snoutlout had been on the wrestling team. While he definitely had the brute strength, he was kicked off the team for his lack of intellect to strategize and think of the best moves to pull at the moment. Instead of telling him to get over it, to just try out again and improve his techniques or any other form of pep talk, Spitelout got on his case and basically brought the teen down, telling him he was a failure and a good-for-nothing. He also shoved Henry to his face, about the nerd being intelligent and already working on his future while Smoutlout was only bringing the Jorgenson's family name to shame, since the Haddocks got the richness from their ancestry, the Jorgensons looked like a disgrace.
His mother tried consoling him, and also got on Spitelout's cause, telling him not to spite the Haddocks all the time. His cousin kept offering him money on birthdays and Christmas to help out, since Spitelout didn't have a College degree, his jobs kept changing and they weren't always stable. Stan was caring like that and a CEO he could afford to spare extra bills to help extended family. But Spitelout just threw it back to his face. (Luckily, and what Spitelout didn't know, Stan would give it to his wife instead.)
Still, his father's negatives outweighed his mother's positives. Because for some reasons, people always focus at the bad side of things. It was what led Snoutlout into becoming a punk and bully instead of trying to get improve himself. Since he was a good-for-nothing in his father's eyes, and that he would never earn the man's approval and real acceptance, he thought it would be best to go with the stereotype as a way of rebellion.
So this was his reason. His real reason why he hated Henry, he envied him. Henry had a loving father, a secured future, and he knows what he wanted in his life. Even while he was gay, he was totally comfortable with that despite the ostracism. He was happy.
And now, he had Jack.
Snoutlout had no idea how that happened, or how it started. How did Jack manage to keep it from them that the scrawny nerd was tutoring him? How did they not notice that something was going on? Most of all, why was Jack acting strange the past weeks?
It was Henry's fault, that's all he knew.
What people didn't know about the Frostbites, they looked up to Jack and really thought highly of him. Though they would never really admit that vocally, it was true. They liked him more than they liked Peter "Pitch" Black or Dax "Daggur"( D.) Ranger when they called the shots (for one thing, Daggur bullied them as much as they bullied others)
Because unlike them, Jack really backs them up.
When something blew up in the Chemistry lab at Sophomore year, and the Thorston twins got the blame for their reputation of having a flare of mass destruction, Jack took the blame because one more offense of arsenal-related schemes would lead to expension. Since this was Jack's first call on the offense, he only got Suspension and community service. His parents had been disappointed, until they heard the reason and truth behind the incident. Since then, the twins tried to tone down their shenanigans.
Also, when the Frostbites stole the Berserkers hideout, the shack somewhere in the woods near the park, it wasn't just for the hell of it. Spitelout had kicked his son out when he was drunk and they were arguing again about Snoutlout's failure. He needed a place to crash, but refused the Thorstons offer to go over their place because he didn't want to deal with other parents getting on his case. Jack (although he wanted to give the same offer, he didn't for some secretive reason.) thought of an idea, since Daggur was shipped off Military school, his gang of heel-lickers, the Berserkers, his group outside campus, took care of their territory, and their hideout, the shack. Jack basically cleared them out without even laying a finger on them, just evading their attacks with some moves he learned from Parkour videos and let them hurt themselves. The Frostbites were the ones who got to them physically. So when they finally gave up the territory, it was Snoutlout's home during that time. In Tuffnut's words, it was his dark, soggy, alone place. Minus the soggy part.
When his dad finally got Snoutlout to come back home, it became their own hideout. And a refuge when they had their fill with parents for getting on their case on being disappointments. And they had to unwind.
And so now, here he was, still wondering what Henry did to Jack that made him so distant. True, they never really talked about each other's problem and opened up and hold hands and all that stuff you would expect in a Friendship film, but it had been enough to be around, cause mayhem, and just fool around.
So when Snoutlout pinned the blame on Henry vocally for the change, the Thorston twins followed his lead and beat him to a pulp after a confronation they had. And they thought that would be the end of it, but as it turned out, Jack kept silent. Like he was with them, but not exactly there. So Snoutlout blamed Henry more and continued beating the crap out of him.
About a month later, something changed in the routine. Henry finally confronted Jack once more, and, initially thinking he was going to give Jack shit again, the Frostbites were quick to return the favor. Only this time, Jack stopped them. And to Snoutlout, it just clicked, the way Jack had intervened to help his cousin.
Jack cared about Henry, his ruler might have even bent. Because it seemed like Jack liked Henry.
This, again, cause Snoutlout to hate his cousin. He didn't have many friends, and Henry had turned his friend against them. He wasn't even popular or good-looking, how could he deserve happiness? It wasn't fair. At one point, Snoutlout wandered if being gay had anything to do with it, because by definition, another meaning of gay meant happy, right?
Of course, it didn't apply that way, but like it was aforementioned, Snoutlout wasn't exactly smart.
He got curious, and tried it out. And since he didn't have many friends, Tuffnut was basically his only choice. Luckily, Ruffnut got held back by the Principal for running in the hallway when she tried chasing after Jack who left with Hiccup. So the boys went ahead. They were sitting on the steps outside the school entrance when Snoutlout asked.
"What?"
"You heard me, man. Let's go out tomorrow, it's Saturday."
"Dude," Tuffnut looked at him weirdly. "are you asking me out? That's so gay."
Snoutlout flushed, scowling. "Hey, you look like your sister."
"Yeah, who looks like an ugly man." Tuffnut snickered. "but since I'm really a man, I look good."
Snoutlout rolled his eyes. "Hey, whatever, it's just a thought. I'm curious, y'know? But since you hate the idea. Then forget about it." He grumbled. "Like all my ideas, it's a stupid one." He turned away.
"Yo, I didn't say no."
Snoutlout turned his head so fast he swore a few veins tore. "What?"
"It's cool, let's try it. I mean, ever wonder why gays are, well, gay, when they know it means getting beaten up? Kinda sadist, y'kmow, to expect pain but going with it anyway." Tuffnut shrugged. "Sounds either pretty brave, or pretty stupid. So it's worth a shot, eh? I mean, Henry's gay and he seems happier than we are."
Snoutlout scowled, before letting it deflate. "Yeah, right. So… we're on tomorrow?"
"Sure man, where we going?"
"Uhh, Sundae's delights? I don't really have much dough for anything else."
"All right, what time should I be there?"
Snoutlout rubbed the back of his head. "I dunno, never really been to one of these things before… Uh, what about I just text you?"
"Cool, see you tomorrow then." Tuffnut got on his feet, and made to leave, forgetting about his sister. Then, as an afterthought, he turned back just as Snoutlout got on his feet and kissed him on the cheek.
Snoutlout's eyes bulged. "The hell, man?!" he pulled away, slapping a hand to his fat cheeks.
"Yo, your idea, dude. Besides, we're dating now, right?" Tuffnut grinned, leaving without waiting for a response.
It took a while, and only when Snoutlout got home, did he consider that it wasn't so bad, to be kissed by a guy.
A/N: O.o I have abso-bloody-lutely no idea what just happened here. But hey, I liked how it turned out. Fast-paced, sure, but most relationships seems to start like that way nowadays. Results just vary how long they last. Soooo review, eh?
