June 20, 21, 25 (because I can only do one this time sadly)

Prompts:

Day 1: "If you love me, let me go."

Day 2: "I was the moon, you were the sun. I can't seem to shine, now that you're gone. Now I'm out of orbit, cause you left without warning. Are you somewhere better now?"

Day 5: "You were my new dream."

Modern AU

...

Hiccup had begged Jack not to go. It had only been a few hours ago and he remembered it well. Jack had insisted on one last skate on the pond, but Hiccup thought the weather had been to warm recently for the ice to be thick enough. Jack had given him his signature smile, said it would be fine, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and left. Now it wasn't Jack but a police officer at the door, telling Hiccup that Jack wouldn't be coming home.

When Hiccup closed the door his original shock wore off and he collapsed. He broke into tears, his inability to breathe between the sobs causing a searing pain in his chest. He couldn't see through the tears, he couldn't think straight, and he couldn't feel anything other than the crushing sadness.

Hiccup didn't know if he sat on the other side of that door for thirty seconds or thirty minutes. He lost all sense of time as the sadness consumed him, but eventually he gathered the strength to crawl to the bedroom and get on the bed.

He curled up into a ball on his own side of the bed, not wanting to even look at Jack's side. Fortunately he had a box of tissues nearby, however those quickly disappeared into crumpled balls around the bed. Hiccup reached to turn on the radio to drown out the sound of his own crying, and when he finally found the 'ON' button he was greeted by Against the Current.

"I was the moon, you were the sun. I can't seem to shine, now that you're gone. Now I'm out of orbit, cause you left without warning. Are you somewhere better now?" Hiccup turned off the radio so fast he hurt his arm.

It was dark outside by the time Hiccup ran out of tears. He had almost vomited several times but they had only been dry heaves, and they hurt like hell. Trying to clear his mind Hiccup allowed his eyes to slide shut and hoped that sleep would envelop him quickly. He had no idea how long he had been sleeping when he was awoken by a gentle voice.

"Hiccup? Hiccup wake up," the voice soothed. Hiccup stirred at the sound of his name, then immediately jumped up when he realized someone must be in his house. He took a defensive stance and looked around but he spotted no one. He figured he must have been dreaming and sat down on the bed.

"Up here dork," the voice came again, and this time Hiccup looked up.

"OK I'm definitely dreaming," Hiccup said to himself as he gazed upon a translucent form of Jack floating above him. At this point, however, he didn't care. His original surprise turned into unbridled anger, and if Jack hadn't already been dead Hiccup would have killed him. "WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Hiccup screamed.

"Hiccup I'm sorry," Jack tried, but Hiccup was having none of it.

"Sorry? You're SORRY!? What am I supposed to do without you now?" Hiccup bellowed. Tears started to form in the corners of his eyes once more but he pushed them back.

"If you love me, let me go."

"What?" Hiccup asked, confused. "I can't just let you go! How could you even think that? I love you too much!"

"Come on Hic, I just want you to be happy! You'll never be happy if you can't let me go and there's no changing what happened. Why don't you invest your time in that motorcycle repair shop you always wanted? It was always your dream!" Jack suggested.

"You were my new dream," Hiccup mumbled just loud enough for Jack to hear. Hearing that broke Jack's heart and seeing Hiccup like this was killing him, again. He knew that the man in the moon had only given him so much time to say goodbye to Hiccup; he had to make the most of it.

Jack floated down and joined Hiccup on the bed. He went to reach for the brunet's arm but his hand phased right through it. Luckily Hiccup didn't notice but Jack made a note not to let his living boyfriend touch him. It saddened him that he wouldn't get to give him a farewell hug but this time was not about him, it was about Hiccup.

"Hiccup, if I could I would go back and change the past. But I can't. I made a stupid decision and it cost me my life. I may never forgive myself for what I've done not to me, but to you. I just want to see you happy. Please, don't torture me for the rest of your life by making me watch you be miserable. Enjoy your life, for me. I'll even help by haunting away all your bad boyfriends!" Jack joked, and he would have sworn he saw just the slightest upward twitch on Hiccup's lips. Jack smiled at his small victory.

As Jack smiled a bright light came through the window, and Jack knew that it was his time to go.

"Hiccup, look at me," Jack instructed. When Hiccup complied he spoke quickly. "It's time for me to go. I'll always be in your heart, but don't let me take up the whole thing. Love again and be happy. I promise I'll try not to get jealous." Jack winked as he said that statement with a smile then quickly continued. "I love you and I'm sure I'll see you again someday. When your time comes we can be together again in love for all eternity or even just as friends if you find a different soul mate. Just please don't be miserable, because every day you're miserable it'll make me miserable." Jack could feel himself fading and he knew he had to wrap it up. "Please Hiccup, be happy for me. It's my last wish."

Hiccup nodded as Jack finished fading completely. He stared at the spot Jack had stood for another moment or so after Jack had entirely disappeared before returning to his bed. A few tears rolled down his cheek once more. He had promised that he would move on and be happy, and he would try, but he knew it wouldn't be right away.
