oMG I AM SO SORY I DOUBT ANYONE EVEN READS THIS ANYMORE BUT HERE IT IS ANYWAY I HOPE YOU DONT MURDER ME
walking down the hallway now, Jack was flipping out in his head. He hadn't thought about actually seeing him, and now that he was about to, Jack decided he didn't want to see Hiccup with IV's and that ugly hospital...essence. Toothless, on the other hand, was ecstatic to see his brother. He was worried, Jack was sure, but more than anything, happy to see Hic, to know that he was okay.
"246 isn't it?" Toothless nodded silently to himself, scanning the room numbers. "232, 234, 236.." He muttered under his breath. Jack followed behind him, a few steps back. He's going to look terrible isn't he? it's going to be all your fault. Jack thought before he could stop himself.
"240, 242, 244..." Oh god, Oh god Oh god..
"246." Toothless looked back at jack, and slipped past the barely cracked door.
Jack took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pushed the heavy door open.
Beep...Beep...Beep... Jack could have sworn if it wasn't for that rithmatic sound filling the silence he'd have just walked into a still picture. Toothless stood by the door to the bathroom, watching the unmoving brunet boy with confused, green eyes. his dark skin was paling with each passing second, unwilling to let go of his baggy jeans balled in his fist. Toothless must be taking this much harder than he initially thought he would. Jack tore his attention from the black haired teen, and to the sickly boy in the bed. Hiccup was laying in the uncomfortable- looking hospital bed, one hand resting on his stomach, under the blanket. an iv ran out of his wrist in the other, laying beside him. Jack noticed that the nurses had enough sense to hide his scard arm under the blanket, thank god. He wondered if Toothless would have been able to take that knowledge on top of everything else. the thing that stuck out the most though, was that Hiccup had white hospital tape running across his mouth, and cheeks, securing a small plastic tube that hooked to a device hanging above him. Jack glanced back at Toothless and noticed small tears had begun to roll down his cheeks. He was trying so, so hard to keep them in, he'd learnt that tears were the worst kind of weakness one could have, since he was little. "wipe them damn tears off your face, boy." Stoick had grunted at young Jacob one day. he had been working on a drawing, a slightly abstract rendition of his favorite comic book character, spider man for at least three weeks. When he went to present the piece to his drunk father, stoick slurred "who the fuck drew that? what even is it?" when Jacob had shed a few tears at his rejected art piece, stoick made damn sure that he knew not to do it again. that was the last time toothless cried in front of anyone- save his mother about a week after the incident, when he almost begged her to leave the alcoholic. she didn't, of course. and now, here he was, crying in front of his brothers weird friend. toothless closed his eyes and breathed deeply, before wiping the cooling tears from his face and announcing that he needed to get something to drink. He was almost out of the door, when Jack suddenly turned toward him. "It's really not as bad as it may look, toothless. i promise." Jack nodded and began to turn once again, when the teen did something neither of them thought would happen. Jacob rushed to Jack and burst into tears, crying harder than he had in years into the nearly strangers chest. Jack stiffened, but relaxed eventually, and wrapped his arms around the young boy. "Shh, shh..it's alright. He's alright...shh.." Jack cooed. Jacob sobbed uncontrollably, slobbering on Jack's shirt, though Jack didn't really mind.
"But...But what if he's not! What if he's not okay?" Jacob shook in the white haired boy's hold, not even trying to calm himself anymore.
"He is though! just..just believe me okay? two or three days and he'll be up and..and he'll be the same old Hiccup. I promise." Jack's eyes watered at his words, wanting desperately to believe them himself. Jacob nodded his head against Jack, tears slowly subsiding. he eventually let go and sighed, unwilling to look up. Toothless wiped the salty tears away and looked at Hiccup one last time before walking out the door to get his drink. Jack tried to smooth his shirt, blotched with snot and tears, and went to sit in the chair beside Hiccup. He once again looked at the boy, noticing the shallow rising and falling of his chest.
"I read somewhere that people in a coma can hear whats happening around them. i don't know if you can hear me, but uh.." Jack wondered what he was trying to get at with this. "just i really hope you're gonna be okay. i mean, i know you will, deep down, it just scares me ya' know? I've never known anyone that has been in a coma before so i don't know what to expect..just be alright. for Toothless, and for me." Jack felt incredibly stupid talking to Hic like that, but hoped he heard it nonetheless. there was a knock on the door moments later and a short, chubby lady with shiny graying brown hair and eyes to match walked in. she smiled at Jack and went over to check over Hiccup.
"Has a nurse talked to you about Mr. Haddock's condition?" The lady asked sweetly. a bit to sweet for Jack's liking but he smiled back at her anyway.
"No, no one has, i meant to ask at the front desk but i guess i forgot." the nurse who's name Jack couldn't pronounce nodded quickly before straightening and facing him.
"Well, He's in a coma, it seems like a small case, but only time can really tell. He's fairly malnourished, that's what caused the whole thing. if he had been eating right the blow would have only knocked him out for a bit. anyway, Comatose patients almost never come out of it unscathed. He will most likely have some brain damage, it shouldn't be to terribly bad if he wakes up in a few days like we're hoping. his blood pressure is a bit slow, but the malnutrition is cause for that, we've hooked him up to a feeding tube, and a catheter- at which Jack grimaced- we're basically just waiting now." she looked back at her brown haired patient, then glanced at Jack.
"You're a good friend, right?" Jack nodded.
"when he wakes up, try to convince him to check into a rehab center. I hate seeing such young people hurting themselves like that." Jack muttered a silent "i will" and with that she was gone.
a few more minuets went by with Jack just looking at Hiccup, curled up in the small uncomfortable couch by the window, before Toothless returned- puffy eyed, and carrying two cans of dr. pepper. He handed one to Jack and sat across from him on the couch, looking out at the small town. Jack decided he would tell Toothless what the nurse told him tomorrow, after he had some time to adjust.
Jack and Toothless had made it back to Tanya's house later that night, deciding it would be better to sleep there than at a hotel for three or four days.
"Mmm, Mrs McAdams, have i ever told you how amazing your chicken is?" Toothless said between bites of boil-fried spicy chicken.
"It is really good" Jack chimed in with a smirk.
" Thank you Jack! it's a recipe i learned quite a while back from my grandmother. And y'know now that i think of it Jacob you haven't! truth be told Derick hasn't been to keen on thanking me either but it's alright i still love ya both." Tanya said with a smile and gave Derick a playful glare.
"Thank you Mrs McAdams (Mom)" Derick and Jacob both said in unison.
Jack chuckled.
