Chapter 13: What do you hear?
After the three teens gathered their emotions, the four decided to hang out the fallowing weekend. After a few snacks and some phone number exchanges Hiccup and Merida took their leave, while Rapunzel accompanied Jack on the walk back to his apartment. "So that's why you were home schooled for so long?" The blonde asked walking down hall with Jack. The white haired teen nodded, "It wasn't by force, but my parents weren't too happy about it. But they came to terms with it and my mom calls me every day to make sure I'm ok and my sister calls to talk my ear off. I love every moment of it," He laughed weakly and it made Rapunzel smile.
"My mother called me every day as well, even though nothing exciting happens she still asked how my day went. I can see why you sister talks your ear off, she probably really misses you. I've always wanted a young sibling," She smiled. "I do too, I knew when I decided to leave home, the sound of her voice would be the thing I missed the most. And though their great having a little sister can be a bit frustrating at times, but the good always out ways the bad." He stated and the blonde nodded stopping at his apartment door. Jack unlocked the door.
"Well thank you for listening to my story. And sorry for not telling you all about me being blind, but just promise me something…" Jack said his tone becoming deeper and his eyes looked serious. "Sure what is it?" Rapunzel asked slightly frightened by his hollow blue eyes. "Don't treat me any different from how you have since you met me. Ok?" He asked and she was silent. Jack wasn't prepared for the small arms to wrap around his waist at such speed. "I promise. You trusted us enough to tell us about a serious part of your life, on top of that you saved me from Dagger today, and even though you didn't know me as well one should. You didn't run from him, even though everyone else would. So you not only your sister's hero, but now… I guess you're my hero too." Jack stood there wide eyed and shocked at the words and contact, it made him smile, "Thanks Punzie."
He hesitated, but placed his hand on her soft blonde hair, knowing that she didn't realized what she was doing and in that second Rapunzel quickly pulled away embarrassed. "Sorry, I_ got a little carried away_ there," She was kinda happy he couldn't see her cheeks turning a light pink as she played with her hair avoiding eye contact.
Jack smirked and nodded, "Its fine. You should get back upstairs before Pascal gets into trouble." Rapunzel couldn't hide her giggle and nodded, "Your right knowing him. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. If you don't mind walking to school with me again." She said the last sentence softly and Jack nodded. "I'll meet on the elevator Watson," He joked and she laughed, starting down the hall. "See you then Sherlock," She smiled and left in him the doorway. He didn't close it until he heard her walk into the elevator.
The next day Jack woke up to the usual silence, still no use to it. But found it easier to get up seeing as he had someone to meet this morning. After a cold shower, he got dressed and cooked a quick breakfast. At a quarter to 8 the white haired teen walked out his apartment as the elevator stopped on his floor. He wrapped the scarf around his next and walked to the opening doors. "You times it perfectly!" Rapunzel exclaimed with an open mouth. Jack chuckled and nodded, "After the second day I sorta figured out the timing pattern." "That's amazing," The blonde smiled still in awe. Jack just shook his head as they walked out the elevator and into the city streets.
The walk to school was filled with conversation, of Rapunzel asking about Jack's training, and what how he could walked to school so easily. "I use my memory of what I smell as landmarks for me to know when and where to turn. But I'm sure there are places I have yet to "see," I mean this city by be small, but it's still new to me." He explained. "Oh! Hiccup and I could show you around. He knows this place like the back of his hand, because he grew up here and his dad being the mayor and all." Rapunzel rambled, but covered her mouth at the statement she'd made.
Jack smirked with a light frown, "Were you suppose to tell me that?" She gave an embarrassed and regretful smile, while laughing out "Sorry. No, I mean well… You were bound to find out sooner or later. But guess that's still not a good reason to have said that." She laughed sheepishly, "I'm tend to get carried away with talking. Especially when I meet new people. Sorry again." Jack shrugged and smiled down at her, "I'm sure Hiccup will understand, won't you?" Jack asked facing up to where the brunet was walking towards them.
"I'll understand what?" Hiccup asked with an arched eyebrow. Rapunzel looked at her friend's sunned appearance then back at Jack. "How did you_" She pointed at Hiccup the Jack. "I smelt the shampoo from his cat," Jack explained. "You can smiled Toothless's shampoo on me?" Hiccup asked with wide eyes. Jack nodded his head and the male, "Yeah it's one of the few things I remember from playing him a few days ago." "That's pretty cool," Hiccup chuckled and Jack just shrugged. They continued walking to school when Jack asked Hiccup, "Where Merida?"
Rapunzel looked at Hiccup wondering where her friend was as well, but remembered that today was Wednesday. "She has archery practice today. Our school has a team and she's the captain." He explained, and Jack faced him wide eyed. "An archery team? Seriously? I've never heard of a school with archery team. That's awesome," he grinned and Hiccup chuckled. "Yeah we didn't have one until she came to the school." Jack was really intrigued by this. It was reasons like this at Jack was looking forward to going to a public school with other kids his age. "So she made up a Berk archery? How many members are their?" "6 if you count Merida," Hiccup replied.
"I've never heard of archery team. Do they have competitions?" Jack asked, and Rapunzel replied. "Yep, they usually have them in the spring and summer, while they practice in the winter and fall." "I'm sure she'll invite you to a game when the season begins," Hiccup smiled at the white haired male. Jack smiled a bit bigger his excitement clearly showing, "Sweet. I can't wait." Hiccup smiled at the sight and Jack smiled and Rapunzel elbowed him mouthing, "I told you so, Good guy right?" The brunet rolled his eyes and nodded and the blonde making her giggle. "You guys suck at hiding stuff," Jack stated walking up the school stairs.
They looked at the back of his head, and Jack smirked turned back to smile at them his eyes closed. "Your lips make sounds even if you don't want them too. I don't know what you said, but I'm gonna assume it was nice," He chuckled walked into the school. The two teens stood at the foot of the steps once again amazed and confused at the hearing abilities the male possessed.
