I'm super sorry for the long wait guys! This story will not be abandoned!

Um... sad parts in here. I'm sorry.

"No!" Hiccup cried, his voice piercing the night like a steak knife would to a slab of butter: easily and without resistance. But it had no effect on Toothless. He had a mission to accomplish after all.

Hiccup was running now, his eyes locked on Jack's lifeless body. He could still hear his sputtering heartbeat, and he could still see his chest rising and falling unsteadily, but hell, at least he was still alive. Toothless was forgotten as Hiccup collapsed to the ground on his knees, sliding across the sidewalk to Jack.

"Jack! Jack! C'mon Jack!" Hiccup was screaming desperately. Jack didn't move. Hot tears were flowing down Hiccup's face. "Don't… don't do this to me, c'mon…"

Toothless grabbed the back of Hiccup's neck, throwing him backwards, his brother landing a couple feet away on his back. Toothless stalked over to his brother, his fingers wiggling in anticipation. Hiccup was breathing harshly, although he didn't need to. Toothless' smile was deadly.

The menacing vampire swooped down over a shaken Hiccup, and reached out his hand. Again, wiggling his fingers, Toothless touched a place above Hiccup's navel, then his chest. Then, both hands pressed down his shoulders, connecting them with the sidewalk. Finally, Toothless took his hand and pressed his palm on Hiccup's forehead.

Vampire's Curse. Hiccup wouldn't be able to move without Toothless' consent, or until he lifted the curse.

Hiccup's green eyes clashed harshly with Toothless', glaring with a fury he didn't know he had.

"Take it off," Hiccup growled, the tears prickling his eyes like thorns, his limbs tingling with numbness.

"And why would I do that?" Toothless said innocently. He glanced over his shoulder at Jack, who's breathing became worse. "So you can save him?"

"Please…" Hiccup said, his voice breaking and a tear spilling out of his eye. "Please, just let me save him."

"Come on, Hiccup," Toothless drawled. "He's just a human,"

"NO!" Hiccup yelled. "He's not just a human! I love him! Just… Take the Curse off, let me save him… and I'll go with you. I'll do whatever you want."

"Would you really sacrifice yourself for somebody who's just going to die anyway?" Toothless said. "Think about it Hiccup, Jack only has a little bit of time left on this world… it wouldn't be doing anyone harm if he left now…"

"Don't!" Hiccup protested, squeezing his eyes shut. If he could move his head, cringe at just thinking about letting Jack die, or even clench his fists, he would have. Oh, he would have. "I care, okay? It'll be doing me harm. If he dies, I'll go insane and I'll never be any service to you. All I'm asking is that you let me save him…"

"Save him by what, Hiccup?" Toothless shouted. "Making him one of us? That'll be harmful to all of us. That's not a solution to everything."

"I never said it was an answer!" Hiccup yelled. "In… in small doses, vampire venom can heal the most fatal wounds a human could have."

"Hmm… Someone's done their research," Toothless drawled. Jack gave a shuttering breath.

"TOOTHLESS GODDAMMIT! LET ME HEAL HIM OR I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING YOU WANT ME TO!" Hiccup yelled. He was trying the best that he could to move, to try to get to Jack, to try and save him, but without Toothless lifting that stupid Curse… he was frozen and unmoving.

"Fine," Toothless said, his index finger lightly touching his own forehead. Hiccup was on his feet in an instant, at Jack's side in no time flat. "You get two minutes,"

"Jack…" Hiccup said, moving his boyfriend's snow white hair a little. By that simple movement alone, Hiccup could tell that there was a dent in his skull from where Toothless killed him. "Jack, it's… it's going to be okay…"

Clearly, talking wasn't helping anything. Hiccup tilted Jack face toward him, and kissed the pale lips hungrily.

But it wasn't just a kiss. Slowly, Hiccup let his fangs come out, and he let his venom seep into Jack's mouth and down the unconscious-boy's throat without biting. Hiccup let his tongue run over his top teeth, his fangs going back into hiding, as he pulled away from the kiss. He ran his finger slowly across Jack's lips, wiping off his own saliva and the silvery substance that was his venom.

"Pity, how you'll never see him again after this," Toothless said. Hiccup tried to drown him out, he really did, but his brother's voice seeped into his brain and circled around. Tears welled up in Hiccup's eyes again, but he blinked them away slowly.

He's trying to get me to waste my time but arguing with him, Hiccup thought, and with a deep, and highly unnecessary, breath, Hiccup refocused on Jack.

He let his fingers run through his hair again, and his eyes slowly memorized the look of Jack. From underneath his fingers, Jack's skull was filling out, everything going back to where it needs to be. Jack's breathing steadied, and his sputtering heartbeat regulated. Hiccup let out an ironic laugh at the quickness of his venom.

And Jack's eyes fluttered open. The crystal blue orbs locked onto Hiccup's green ones, and a smile spread across Jack's face.

"Hiccup…" Jack said weakly. Hiccup cupped his cheek.

"I'm right here," Hiccup replied.

"Not for long," Toothless said in the background.

"Jack, listen to me." Hiccup said, a sense of urgency in his voice. "When we leave, go home. Live your life. Graduate. Go to college. Find someone you love, have a family, grow old. Do everything you wanted to do. Forget me. Please just forget me. Pretend this is a dream. All it ever was was a dream. I'm not real. Not anymore…" Hiccup struggled to keep in the tears. Oh, how it hurt to say those words.

"Hiccup what are you…?" Jack said, letting the words sink in. His eyes widened. "No… no, Hiccup, don't. please don't leave me. You're the only person who has ever-."

"Don't." Hiccup cut in.

"You know Pitch'll only…"

"I know."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"Because I love you," Hiccup said.

"Time to go, love birds." Toothless said, grasping the back of Hiccup's clothing tightly. Hiccup's thumb slid across Jack's cheek once, tears shining in all their glory.

"It's because I love you," Hiccup whispered.

And then Toothless took off running, Hiccup stumbling behind him, still being held by the back of his clothing. Jack laid there for a while, not trying to process it all, but trying to make sense of it.

He was supposed to be dead. Toothless kicked him hard enough. For a moment, Jack thought he was dead. But he could hear Hiccup yelling, and Toothless' calm responses. He felt a bolt of white-hot energy flow through him, he just didn't understand why… and when he had woken up, it was like nothing was wrong with him…

"Then why are you doing this?"

"Because I love you."

Those two phrases rang in Jack's head over and over and over again. Hiccup loved him, but he wanted him to forget all about him?

Jack blinked, revelation hitting him where it hurt. Hiccup saved him. He risked it all, he sold his soul to Toothless… just to save Jack.

Tears flooded Jack's eyes, and there was no resistance to when they overflowed. He lost the one person in his life that loved him for who he was, and who would never try to change him, and who would always be there for him, and there was nothing Jack could do about it. Hiccup was long gone.

Jack struggled to get on his feet, and when he did, he shuffled his way home.

There was no way this was happening. Jack would go to sleep, and when he wakes up, it would all be a really bad nightmare. Hiccup would be there to help him through it, just like he always was.

I made up the Vampire's Curse, and the fact that vampire venom is silver. In my world, that's just how it is.

Please leave a review! It helps a lot with motivation and confidence. And it let's me know that I'm doing at least something :D

I love you all! Thanks for reading, and thank you everyone who has favorited, followed, or reviewed so far! I love you forever!
