=Jack=

Hiccup was nervous. He kept biting his lip and glancing around the room while we waited for his father to return. "It's going to be fine Hic," I said to him, gently squeezing his hand. He glanced at me, and I held his gaze for a long moment before Stoic walked in and sat across from us at the table. He eyed our hands.

"So?" He asked, waiting for one of us to tell him.

"Uh..." Hiccup managed to get out. "Um, Jack..." He hesitated and swallowed. "Jack and I are... together." He pushed out, Stoic didn't look impressed.

"That all?" He wondered. "I thought you would've asked for a house, or something more."

"Well, he doesn't have a place of his own here." Hiccup was a little more confident. Stoic nodded patting his beard.

"He'd need one, moving from the northern tribes." Stoic agreed. "Not a problem, we can have a house built up in no time. Is that all? No wedding plans? No plans for children yet? I know this good spell-"

"We're not planning on getting married yet dad." Hiccup said to him, his face red. I could feel mine burning as well.

"Sir, we're not rushing into it, it's just hard to maintain long distance relationships." I said to Stoic. "With Hiccup succeeding you, it's easier for me to move here to Berk." Stoic nodded.

"But when you are ready," Stoic continued. "All you need to do is ask and I can easily-"

"You don't have a spell to swap someone's gender do you?" Hiccup asked nervously.

"Yes, I know one." Stoic answered. "But it's unsafe, it's easier to just have a woman nurse your child for the nine months. Sperm transplant." He shrugged. "Where would you like your house?" He asked the both of us.

"The hill next door seems like a good place." I suggested. Stoic stood.

"I'll have a team start building today." With that he left us. Hiccup relaxed and I rubbed his shoulder.

"I knew he had a spell for it." He said to himself and I smiled.

Moving into Berk took a while. The house was built in a surprisingly short amount of time but bringing everything over took a while. Izzy often joined me when I would make the trip to Berk, she enjoyed seeing the village that was so different from our ice home.

"What's that?" She pointed to a building while I showed her around.

"Dragon Training School." I answered. "I'm going to be working there soon."

"That sounds like fun!" She said excitedly. "Can I go?"

"I'm sure mom wouldn't mind letting you take a few summer classes." I responded smiling at her. "Maybe you can find an Ice Dragon and tame it."

"That would be awesome." She agreed, then turned to look around some more. "Hiccup!" She ran off, I turned to watch her. The fifteen year old was a miniature hurricane. But I smiled as she stood next to my boyfriend and pointed to the school. He answered her questions patiently and kindly listened to all of her excitement.

Later that night I joined him on our bed as he looked over different scrolls and parchments. Izzy was asleep in one of the spare room's we had. There were at least three. I could only hope that Stoic wasn't trying to imply something. I situated myself behind him and rubbed his shoulders. He relaxed almost immediately. "Taking over a village is a lot of work." He told me, leaning into my chest. I held him and kissed his forehead.

"Take a break." I offered. "Make the bedroom a no-work-zone." I suggested. He rolled his eyes at me.

"You'll be doing the same thing when you start working full time at the school." He told me. "Grading homework, filling out accident reports. That I'll have to look over mind you."

"So, how doesn't the world revolve around you?" I teased, he pulled me down for a kiss.

"I have work I need to finish." He said when I pulled away and I sighed but let him up. When he was comfortable, moving so his back was against my chest, he went back to work. I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my chin on a shoulder.

"We're making one of the spare rooms a study." I told him.

"Why? You'll just complain that I'm never in here with you. At least this way you can hold me." He responded. "And besides, you'll miss watching me work." He had me at that. But, the next day we did turn one of the spare rooms into a study. Izzy helping, we let her practice spell's to get the room set up.

"How long am I allowed to stay?" She asked after lunch. I tipped back in my chair and looked at her. She was lounging on the couch. Currently it was just the two of us, Hiccup had to run off to help his father with something.

"Mom said it was alright for you to stay the summer." I responded. "Oo how fun, hanging out with boring adults and what was that you wanted to do? Spend half of your summer in school?" I teased her. She just rolled her eyes.

"Oh yes, because you and Hiccup are so boring." She replied. "You do absolutely nothing but work all day long. And-oh no! Learning how to train and ride Dragons! How will I ever survive my few hours of school a day?"

"Your level of sass rivals Hiccups." I noted.

"It's because we're both girls." She said sitting up.

"Excuse me?" His voice startled both of us and I nearly fell out of the chair. I looked over to see him with a bag slung over his shoulder, more scroll's in it. Izzy blushed and hid behind me.

"Sorry!" She squeaked. The look of annoyance on his face was absolute.

"Well I was going to give you a tour of the school. Maybe introduce you to some of the dragons but now..." He started towards the stairs.

"What?" She piped up. "Really? I'm sorry I didn't mean it!" He ignored her, climbing up to the second floor. "Hiccup!"

"You hurt his ego." I commented.

"He had to walk in right then." She fell dramatically onto the couch.

"You didn't have to call him a girl." I chuckled getting up out of my chair and clearing the table. "Get up and help me."

"There's no point!" She said. "I'm not getting VIP treatment anymore."

"Stop being a drama queen and help your brother." Hiccup scolded from the stairs. "Or I won't take you to the school." She shot up and helped me finish the dishes. Then shyly went over to him with an innocent gleam in her eyes. He stared at her for a minute before sighing. "Ugh fine, you're forgiven. But if you ever call me a girl again I will make your life miserable." He told her. She hugged him.

"You're the best!" She said excitedly.

"No," he shook his head. "Because the boy's are here too." As if on cue there was a knock on the door. "And I know how you love spending time with them."

"This is my punishment." She sighed as I walked over to the door. Merida was waiting for us, the boys at her heels, peeking around her to see what was inside.

"Please tell me that ya have a reason for these three to join me?" She looked between the three of us. Harris, Hurbert and Hamish grinned simultaneously.

"They were invited for the summer session right?" I asked. Merida was confused for a moment then she realized what I was talking about.

"Dragon school." She clarified, I nodded.

"Izzy~" Hamish called to her.

"We've missed you so much!" Harris added.

"What a coincidence that you're here," Hurbert added and I felt bad for my sister. Luckily for her they were staying in the dorms at the school. Teaching easily became one of my favorite things to do. Interacting with everyone and the Dragons five days a week, though the summer course only lasted about a month, so about 24 classes total. I didn't mind it considering I was still learning how to take care of the Dragon's myself.

"So when does this homework thing start up?" I asked Hiccup when we finally settled down after a long day of work.

"The year classes are different from the summer courses." He noted. "And it mostly works with children between the ages seven and ten." He rested his head against my chest and I wrapped my arm around him. "It's slower and more informative than the summer course, there will be homework for you."

"So, you're saying that I'll enjoy the summer class more." I mused. He shrugged and easily drifted to sleep.

Our first fight came a few weeks later after I started noticing that he was loosing sleep. It was stupid, he refused to tell me what was wrong and shelled up to the point where he only communicated to me through leaves like he had when he was mute. "Maybe he's not ready to talk about it." Izzy offered some advice as the class packed up to head home. I was waking around checking harnesses, making sure nothing had been damaged in our first flying lesson.

"We've been together for almost seven months now, friends for longer. I'd hope he'd have realized that he can tell me anything." I commented fixing the straps on a harness.

"First, you had this, oh I don't know, three year feud where you refused to talk to him." She reminded me. "Then Pitch took over his body and made him all evil and stuff." She continued. "That lasted a year and a half. You haven't exactly been buddy buddy with each other for a while." I sighed.

"If he had just talked to me about it..." I leaned against the wall.

"Maybe that's his problem, he doesn't know how." She said.

"He has no problem telling Rapunzel things." I noted she made a sour face at me.

"Jealous Jack, not fun." She linked her thumbs in her belt loops and spread out her fingers. "He's not with her anymore, he's with you."

"Not the point." I scowled. "Why am I even talking about this with you?"

"Because Elsa's not here for you to rant too." She grinned at me. "Like the little gay boy you are." I tried to grab her and she jumped back. "Okay, seriously, just give him space. He will tell you, he just needs time." I turned back to the harness I was working on.

"Yeah whatever." I mumbled. "Don't you have some triplets to prank?"

"Love you too!" I heard her walk off. Later that night I sat in our study at Hiccup's desk and looked through his sketchbooks. I didn't dwell the drawings for too long until I got to seventh year and found his newer pieces of work. There was a lot of us, the two of us doing random things and it made me smile. There were few that I didn't get right away, they seemed to be repeats of his image of him in the dark. But each were different, the darkness took shape in some areas, a horse. No, a Nightmare. Or Pitch hovering around him, as if haunting him.

The room's light flicked on and I turned. Hiccup stood in the doorway and I got up, walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him. He buried his face into my shoulder and clung to me. "Sorry..." he mumbled against the muffle of my shirt.

"No, I'm sorry." I told him. "I shouldn't have pushed you." It took a few more days but we repaired the gap between us.

"Jack I want to have sex." Hiccup startled me when I got home one day.

"I did not need to hear that." Izzy, who had been getting a drink in the kitchen set down the cup, covered her hears and slipped past me and out of the house. Hiccup blushed a dark red. We sat on the couch, well Hiccup sat on the couch and I was using his legs as a seat.

"You sure about this?" I asked him when the embarrassment from my sister faded away. He nodded, "it's a big step in the relationship." I reminded him.

"I know." He took my hand and concentrated on it, bending and flexing the fingers. "I know, but I've been thinking about it for a while." He told me, "I mean..." He blushed.

"I get it," I reassured him. He gave me a sheepish smile. "I just want you to be ready for it. If it's too much..."

"We'll use a safe word." He suggested. "Like..." he thought about it for a while. "Um..."

"Don't kill yourself over it." I mused. "Why don't just use Black." I offered.

"Why black?" He wondered. I shrugged.

"Not a word you'd normally hear in sex, it's random and will get either of our attentions." I explained, he nodded slowly. "We're not going to try it with my sister in the house though."

"I didn't think so." He sighed, I stole my hand from him and lifted his chin. His eyes met mine. "She could stay at the dorms for a night or two."

"A few nights wont expand to the rest of the summer."

"But it's enough for now." He smile a little bit.

"Alright," I agreed, leaning forwards and kissing him. It took a few attempts, Hiccup was extremely embarrassed about everything and it was cute.

"Am I aloud to come home now?" Izzy complained after the fourth night. It was during our lunch break at school. "Honestly how long does it take to... you know."

"Sex," I said just to get her even more embarrassed. "Isn't something you can rush," I told her. "You can seriously hurt your partner if you don't do it correctly."

"Thank you for the information on sex ed. I'm sure I'll learn about it in school." She said, annoyed and play punching me in the arm.

"No we haven't gone all the way yet." I said to her.

"So I can't come home yet." She concluded.

"That's up to Hiccup." I responded. She groaned and marched back to her seat as the class gathered. Chuckling I started up class again. Hiccup let her come home, and when I went to bed that night I found him sitting on it with work all over the place. He looked up at me when I entered the room. "I thought we agreed on having no work in here." I mused, sitting behind him.

"We never agreed to it," he commented, leaning back into me. "You suggested it." I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"So, what are we working on tonight?" I wondered.

"There's a carnival coming to town soon." He answered. "They started visiting every summer after dragon's became our friends. Dad's putting me in charge of the set up and making sure it runs smoothly."

"So, giving you the things he doesn't want to do." I concluded. He shrugged and started to put away the scrolls. "You don't have to stop because of me."

"I never get work done this late with you holding me. Too distracted." He responding, filling up his bag before setting it to the side of the bed. I hummed and held him close for a moment before he shifted, turning to look at me. "Want to know what I remembered earlier?"

"What?"

"We're wizards." He responded picking up his wand and examining it for a moment.

"I think it's hard to forget something like that." I responded, he rolled his eyes and pointed the wand at the door. He mumbled a spell that I didn't hear and for a moment I could see a barrier shielding the door. "What's that for?" I asked him as he put the wand back on the side table.

"That, is a spell I learned from you." He responded. "Muffliato."

"Oh," the name stuck in my head for a moment before I realized why he used it. "You love loop holes don't you?" I asked before he kissed me.

The summer passed and it felt strange seeing my sister get her letter for Hogwarts while Hiccup and I didn't. We were done with school, well, done attending Hogwarts. I was still going to school on a regular basis for work. Hiccup continued to train under his father to take over the village some day and everything was a sort of pattern. "Hey, you should cancel classes on December 1st." Hiccup told me as I was grading some papers in the study.

"I am going to assume that it's an important day?" I glanced over at him. He was sitting in his chair, well lounging in it and staring at the ceiling.

"Well, I think it's important." He said, not glancing at me. "You'll just have to decide whether or not it is yourself."

"Alright, no classes on the first." I reached over and grabbed his hand. "Can I know why it's an important day?" A flash of irritation sparked through his eyes.

"You can wait, unless you remember before then." He glanced at me. "Sometimes I have to remember that your memory isn't as good as mine."

"I still agree with the others when they say you should check to see if you have photographic memory." I told him. He sighed and looked back at the ceiling.

"I'll give you a hint." He said, I smiled and squeezed his hand. "It's the day I woke up." Of course that was an important day for him, Pitch was finally out of his life and he was able to come back to us. Though he didn't really completely come back to us, parts of him were still stuck. He may not realize that I notice his sleepless nights or nightmares that haunt him. I try to help him the best he could but Rapunzel told me to wait for him to bring it up. He's sensitive about things like that, it'll take time.

There was something else about the first that I still didn't know. It distracted me in my free times, and annoyingly while I tried to grade papers and work related things. "Don't let it bother you too much." Elsa said as she and Astrid took me to Diagon Ally for shopping reasons. "Just get him a present, or two. More is always better, especially if you don't remember things." Elsa had officially moved to Berk after her and her younger sister agreed that Anna would be a better ruler. "We're getting him something too, though I'm sure he wants to spend the first with you."

"You know what it is," I concluded. She smirked, stopping outside a shop and window browsing. "Can't you just tell me?"

"The thing about it is, it's so simple and you forgetting is completely idiotic on your part." She told me. "What happened on the day Hiccup woke up?" She asked me. "I know you know the answer to that."

"A lot of things happened the day he woke up." I responded. "Normal school drama, tests were going on. Hiccup and I had our first kiss that day."

"You started dating him." Astrid told me. "It's your anniversary." Okay, wow, I'm stupid. To make up for my stupidity I got him a book he's been wanting for a while, some of his favorite sweets and a few new drawing items. He's been out for a while.

When the first came he was happy, and surprised for the gifts. In return we spent the day just with each other, and dinner at some fancy restaurant I didn't pay much attention too. Over all, it was a great first anniversary. "May dad is pestering me to have a kid." Hiccup groaned one night after coming home late from work. "Like, annoyingly pestering, leaving notes everywhere, bringing it up in down time. He's even threatened to turn me into a girl once or twice."

"I think you'd make a cute girl." I commented, he scowled.

"Not the point." I laughed and pulled him into a hug.

"Do you want to have a baby?" I asked him.

"I was hoping to at least get married first before thinking about kids." He responded, I smiled a bit. "Or wait until we were I don't know, older than eighteen. With a bit more experience in the outside life."

"His response to that?"

"My mom and him were married right out of Hogwarts." Hiccup sighed. "It's a Viking thing."

"I think I should learn some of these Viking traditions, I do plan on staying with you for as long as we can tolerate each other." He smiled a little and pressed his lips to mine for a moment.

"We're going to have to sort things out with my dad before he turns me into a girl." He commented. "Unless you want to deal with me being a complete and total bitch for the next , gods know how long." I kissed him.

"We'll sort it out, I'll bring up my own traditions and maybe he'll be lenient." I told him, he smiled and cuddled into my embrace.

"You're the best boyfriend ever." He told me.

"It'd be nice to hear more often." I mused.

"Don't push your luck Frost." I chuckled holding him closer.

Christmas came quickly, we spent half of it in Berk. Celebrated the Viking way, then apperated to my home and spent the evening with my mom and sister. Izzy happily told us everything that happened to her in school that she left out in letters. In return we told her how things were back in Berk, as well as Hiccup's issues with his dad pestering him about getting a heir so the Haddock line could continue. Mom laughed and teased him about how good of a girl he would make when he told them about his dads threats.

"It's because you're adorable." I told him when he collapsed on our bed. I sat next to him and he turned his head to look at me. "You would make a beautiful girl."

"I get the feeling that you want to see me as one."

"I love you, just the way you are." I smiled, getting him to blush. "I'll love you no mater what, but that doesn't mean I wont tease you if you are turned into a girl."

"This family is going to be the death of me." He buried his face into the blankets on the bed. I chuckled and shifted to rub his back. He relaxed into my touch and hummed his approval.

"The best part is the family hasn't even started yet." I mused, he tried to bat me away but I caught his hand and kissed the tips of his fingers. He sighed giving up and I went back to massaging him.

It wasn't until March when we brought up the family topic again. It was after sex, and we were just holding each other. "I don't think I could see myself with anyone but you." He told me.

"Rapunzel," I commented.

"We barely lasted a year." He mumbled. "But I've liked you for a long time."

"How long would that be?" I wondered, keeping my eyes closed and focusing on his voice.

"Summer before second year. That's when I figured it out." He responded, I peeked an eye open to look at him.

"That's a long time." I noted, he curled against me. "Why didn't you say anything?" I wondered.

"We were twelve, well, you were eleven." He responded. "I didn't think there was any reason to say anything." I hummed in response and there was a long pause. "What about you?" He wondered. I took a moment to respond.

"I figured it out when I saw you and Rapunzel kiss at the end of fourth year." I responded.

"Was that why you and Elsa broke up?" He looked up at me. I shrugged a bit.

"One of the reasons. Yeah." He rested his head against my chest again, taking some time to think, or fall asleep.

"I want you to be apart of my family." He told me, half asleep. "Forever."

"I'll be here as long as you want me." I told him, I could tell that he was smiling.

Winter passed and turned into spring, and we spent the equinox with Rapunzel, she had started working at St. Mongol's almost as soon as we left Hogwarts and was often too busy to spend time with everyone, but she managed to get the day off. "Punzy~" Merida draped her arms around the blond as soon as she arrived. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too!" She said cheerfully. Hiccup and I walked into her house after the redhead. "It's good to see all of you." She took turns hugging us after Merida let her go. "How have you all been?"

"Busy," Hiccup and Merida said together. I just shrugged and she led us to the sitting room. "I'm going to be Queen soon." Merida made a face. "Mom expects me ta find a husband. I don't want one yet."

"When's your inauguration?" Hiccup asked her.

"This summer, I'll send ya all invitations when 't get's closer." She told us. "What about you Hiccup?"

"I've got a few years." He shrugged, leaning into me after I sat. I wrapped my arm around his shoulder. "Dad's been pestering me and Jack to start a proper family too."

"Well why don't you?" Merida asked.

"I would like to not rush these things." He responded then glanced at me.

"I don't mind taking things slowly." I shrugged. "If it's too rushed it might end badly."

"You two are adorable," Rapunzel teased before glancing at the clock. "I have to wake Flynn up, or he's going to miss everything." She told us. "I'll be back in a few minutes." She stood and walked out of the room. Flynn was grumpy after getting woken up, but he quickly warmed up to us and was back to his normal self in no time.

After returning home, and to our normal schedules everything seemed peaceful for a while. Stoic backed off of Hiccup after I sat down with him and explained some of my village traditions, where it was common for a year or two too pass before a couple thought about expanding their family's, as did most of the modern world. He said he'd give us a year, total from the beginning of summer before he would force us to marry and start a family. That would give Hiccup time to decide if he wanted to have kids the easy way or the hard way. Easy being find someone to agree to baring his child, hard being him turned into a girl.

"Well, at least there's some more time." Hiccup sighed when I told him. We were sitting at the dinning table and eating dinner. "But... finding someone to agree..." He bit his lip debating on if he liked the idea or who he could ask without being killed. I reached across the table and took his scarred hand, letting my thumb run across the gray skin.

"We'll figure it all out." I told him. "You're not alone in this." His eyes gazed into mine.

"I know, I have you, and Rapunzel and Merida."

"And Elsa, Astrid, Anna, Flynn." I continued to list people off and he smiled. "We've got a ton of friends, and we're all here for each other." He nodded. "We're not alone."

"You can be extremely sappy at times." He told me and I smirked.

"You wouldn't have me any other way." I responded, leaning towards him.

"That's because I fell in love with a moron." He responded, closing the gap between us.


~Fin~

It's been a fun, and long journey to the end of the road. I may or may not do an epilouge. I've been thinking about adding one, like a so many years in the future thing. But I'm not big on those sort of things. Anyways, thanks for staying with the story. I hope you enjoyed it.
