Jack's P.O.V.
"Hey, Hiccup." Rapunzel cooed, happy tears forming in her eyes. Danny waved ecstatically, grinning so wide it probably hurt. Merida looked incredibly pround of her friend as she stood by Hiccup's side. Anna and Elsa stood farthest away, feeling like they were invading on a private moment, but both shyly took steps forward after Hiccup had smiled and said that 'you can come over to the bed, you know. I'm Hiccup, nice to meet ya.'
Jack simply smiled at Hiccup, feeling incredibly relieved and joyful. He wanted to stand where Hiccup could see him, without straining himself. He was positioned about near the brunet's knees - well, knee.
With a start, Jack remembered why they were there in the first place. He took in Hiccup's full condition. He was a bit pale and shaky. The rest of his body looked fine. It only looked like he was ill, not permanently changed, not altered in a way that would haunt the rest of his days.
Jack looking at the place where Hiccup's leg used to be caused the rest of his friends glance at it, too. Slowly, they all looked between each other, each thinking some version of the same thought: 'Hiccup's not alright.' This thought traveled between them and was released into the air, changing the mood completely. Atmosphere tense and stoic, everyone's shoulders slumped and their expressions changed to ones of sympathy. This grabbed Hiccup's attention, and made him feel a bit helpless, which in turn, made him mad.
"Hey, guys, I'm fine. Really." Hiccup tried to control himself and not become angry at his friends, who were just trying to help.
However, everyone else just avoided his eyes awkwardly. Some of them muttered small reassurances, or gave small nods, but their expressions remained the same. Hiccup gave a small groan and rolled his eyes.
"Really, I'm healing fine. I'm doing great!" Hiccup said, a little louder and a little firmer. His friends attempted to fix their looks and agree with Hiccup, but they did a poor job of it. Hiccup's brows furrowed and his jaw tightened.
"Quit feeling sorry for me! I'm doing just great! I don't need your damn help!"
Everyone startled and their eyes widened. Had Hiccup really just yelled and swore at his friends? Had he ever done this before? Rapunzel and Anna took a step back and Danny scratched the back of his neck. Elsa and Merida didn't know how to feel, but Elsa put a hand on Rapunzel's shoulder. Rapunzel immediately turned in for a hug, which Elsa awkwardly returned. Jack simply blinked before sitting on the edged of the bed and placing one of his hands over Hiccup's.
This move made the brunet realize what he'd done. He hung his head and quietly whispered, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."
"Hey, it's alright. This is a hard time for you and we're going to get you through it." Jack comforted. His thumb gently ran over the back of Hiccup's hand. The small comfort mad the later smile. He slowly raised his head to look at his friends, more apologies ready on his lips, but saw his friends smiling at him gleefully. Danny gave him a thumbs up, Merida winked at him, Rapunzel grinned and grabbed his unoccupied hand, Elsa and Anna gave comforting smiles, and Jack twined his fingers through Hiccup's. Both males blushed slightly, but managed to hold eye contact and smile brightly.
"Yeah, you'll be back to school in no time!" Anna smiled.
Hiccup groaned and raised a hand to his forehead. "I'm gonna have so much homework!" Everyone laughed a little and offered to help him complete his homework.
"So, what's been going on at school? What've I missed?" Hiccup asked energetically.
Merida smirked and wrapped an arm around Danny's shoulders. "Well, our friend's secret admirer gettin' a bit more daring. E's starting to give 'im gifts." Merida winked as Danny blushed and gave a small cough.
"Really now? Is that so?" Hiccup smirked and leaned forward. "And what, may I ask, were they?"
Danny set his backpack down and pulled out his notebook. He wrote quickly 'a muffin, a book, and a drawing.' Everyone 'aww'ed and Danny blushed and tried to force down a smile.
"Way to go, buddy." Hiccup grinned. "Jack, can you pat him on the back for me?"
Jack stifled a laugh. "Sure thing, Hiccup." Jack got up, releasing Hiccup's hand gently, and walked over to Danny. "May I?" Danny rolled his eyes, but smiled and nodded. Jack laughed loudly as he gave Danny a few quick pats on the back; everyone else laughed along.
"Anything else I should know?" Hiccup asked, looking at all of their faces.
'The picture of me kissing Hiccup on the school's website!' Jack quickly thought. His eyes widened and he quickly tried to hide his surprise, but Hiccup had already seen his reaction.
"Jack...?" Hiccup tried to prop himself up on his elbows. Jack gently pushed the brunet back into laying down and tried to calm him with soothing words. Did something happen?"
"Uh, guys, mind giving us a minute?" Jack said, nodding towards the door. Elsa nodded to him and started shuffling the group towards the door. Elsa gave him a small sympathy smile as she shut the door.
"Jack, what happened?" Hiccup's eyes narrowed and he tried to sit up again. Jack didn't try to stop him this time, just sat next to him, resting his forehead in his hands. "Jack...Are-Are you okay?" Hiccup tried to put a hand on Jack's shoulder, but Jack got up and started pacing.
Jack didn't stop pacing. "Remember when I, um, I kissed y-your forehead? Ya know, Hamish and Jackson, that stuff? Someone got a picture of it an it's on the school website. I'm not sure who and I don't know why, but it's there. Sorry." Jack flopped down on to the bed, head back in his hands.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault." Hiccup rest his hand on Jack's arm. Jack finally turned to face Hiccup, surprised that Hiccup wasn't angry.
"But I was the one who kissed you; I'm the reason someone took a picture of us!" Jack yelled.
"Well, that person just shouldn't have taken a picture of us, whoever the jackass was." Hiccup grinned. He tried to move closer to Jack, but gave a sharp hiss of pain, as he had moved his amputated leg. Jack quickly put his hands on his shoulders and forced him to lay down.
"Woah, take it easy there. But yeah, they really shouldn't have." Jack gave a small huff of laughter as he pulled the blanket up to cover Hiccup's chest. "Hey, I'm going to have to go soon, visiting hours are almost over and I need to do my homework, so I can help you with yours." Jack stood up and gave this small, bright, genuine smile that made Hiccup blush and grin back.
Hiccup made a split-second decision. "Okay, but first, c'mere." Hiccup waved him over. Jack laughed and obliged, leaning down, closer to the other. "Closer." Jack leaned in farther. "Little more."
A little farther in and Jack whispered, 'What?'
Hiccup lunged forward and kissed him on the nose, before quickly rolling on to his other side, facing away from the white haired male. His cheeks were incredibly hot and his eyes squeezed shut.
Jack was stunned for a minute but he blushed and leaned across the bed, putting a hand on his shoulder and kissing him right under his ear. "Goodnight, Hiccup." He whispered gently, his breathe moving down Hiccup's neck and into his collarbone like a winter breeze. Hiccup swore he could feel - even if it was only for part of a second - Jack's lips on his ear.
Jack picked up his back pack and walked out, looking back at his friend, whom he was no developing a very fast crush on. He shut the door as he announced that Hiccup had fallen asleep.
Hiccup's P.O.V.
The first thing he heard, in his subconscious, was a happy laughing. The first thing he saw was Jackson spinning Hamish in his arms before pulling him close to his body. Both giggled as Hamish ran his hands through Jackson's hair and Jackson's arms wrapped around the viking's waist. Both shared a passionate, but not overly so, kiss that seemed so personal, it made Hiccup turn away.
Finally, both turned towards him and smiled before Hamish practically tackled him - damn viking strength - as Jackson wrapped around Hiccup's shoulder.
"Way to go, Hiccup!" Jackson praised.
"You sure stepped up your game." Hamish winked. Both finally stepped away from Hiccup, still looking at him excitedly.
"I know, I know. But what if he doesn't feel that way and he's just taking pity on me?" Hiccup asked.
"Does he seem like the kind of guy to do that? Date you without liking you, so in the end he just breaks your heart?" Hamish asked, very sternly.
"Well, no, but what if he do-"
"Do I seem like that kind of guy?" Jackson asked slightly offended and angry.
"No, but, he might n-"
"Then why are you worried?" Hamish asked, exasperatedly.
"WHAT IF HE DOESN'T KNOW HE'S DOING IT!" Hiccup yelled, frustrated and admittedly scared. Both Hamish and Jackson froze. That was one thing they hadn't thought of. But Jack was too smart for that, and all three of them knew it.
"You'll be fine, he likes you too much to hurt you." Jackson said, giving a uncharacteristically coy sideways glance at Hamish. "Like I love him too much to hurt him."
"You're fine, now sleep. Jackson and I want to spend some more time together." Hamish said, letting his hand go to Jackson's hip."
"Wait! Jackson said love!" Hiccup yelled to them, just as they slipped away. He groaned, but couldn't do anything at the moment. He'd ask about it later.
