Guest: Just wanted to thank you for reviewing! I tried not to rush this chapter, just for you! But the tone is slightly different... Sorry?
Chapter 2
I squared my shoulders and adjusted the backpack on my right shoulder. Then I took a deep breath and walked into my dorm room. As soon as I got in I was surprised to see my roommate already in the room. The other male was wearing a blue T-shirt and brown capris. From across the room, I could see his hair was a shocking white and he wore no shoes. He was seated at a desk with headphones on as well as having feet on the desk, and his eyes closed. My first thought was that he was some kind of jock or something of that sort. I guess that is why I hit his shoulder to get his attention. I usually wouldn't do that, but he must have angered me more than I thought. Then I saw two things 1 my roommate's eyes were really weird looking and 2 my roommate was really handsome!
You are probably thinking "What?!" Or "Why would you think a guy was handsome." Or maybe you already know what I am about to say. Well I am gay. Nothing else to it. I am and always will be gay. Now, you may wonder how I got up to this point. Well, I watched a movie (Called How To Train Your Dragon) and found that I was more attracted to the male lead then the female heroine. I also found out that Night Fury's were really cool!
Anyways, I told Astrid and she said and I quote "Yay! Now we can talk about boys together!" (She was like ten, so give her a break. All girls that age think about boys, I think. I'm not a girl after all.) A few years later, I finally got up the courage to tell my dad and the rest of my friends and found that 1 telling my dad wasn't as hard as I thought and 2 my friends were dumber than I thought.
This is how it went with my dad: "Dad, I have to tell you something really important."
My dad didn't look up from the paper that he was reading, so I pulled his arm. (Which was more him letting his arm be pulled.) And pushed him so he sat on the couch. (Instead of letting him stand in the middle of the room like he usually does. Don't ask me why.) By then end of those two actions I was panting, even though he didn't put up much a fight.
Once I had his full attention he asked: "Alright son, what is it?"
Here I took a deep breath. "I'm gay."
"Oh, I knew that."
"What?!"
Then we had a long discussion in which he told me he saw me staring at some boys, and he never saw me ogle the girls in the grade like my other male friends. It was mostly the fact that I didn't stare at the girls in my grade, because even he had to admit some of them had nice bodies.
At this I exclaimed: "Eww! Gross! And not because I'm gay, that is just really disgusting to think about! Thanks dad."
Now this is how it went with my friends: "Guys, I'm gay."
"What does that mean?" That was Ruff.
"It means that he likes to fuck guys." That was Tuff.
"So you got it on with Fishlegs? I knew there was some reason you two were so close." That was Snotlout; at the time I couldn't tell if he was kidding or if he just wanted to see me upset. Now I know it was both.
Fishlegs was next: "Guys, guys, guys! He just likes guys instead of girls. There are actually a lot of people like that. There is even a day called Gay Pride day…" The rest of his statement was cut off by Snotlout's, Tuff's, and Ruff's chattering. While all this was going on, Astrid smirked at me knowingly. She told me something like this would happen. I just face palmed, trust my friends to not understand my sexual preference. Well except Fishlegs, who knew a little too much.
In the coming years Snotlout and the twins tried there hardest to understand what being gay entailed. (Though there were a lot of gay jokes thrown in there.) When I came out to the school by bringing a boy to prom (there were no rules against it) the rest of my classmate's were not very understanding and tried multiple times to hurt me. It didn't work that well, I might be small, but I am fast, and I ran away from them very easily. The only time I was cornered, by this guy named Dagur, Snotlout saved me, which was weird considering his constant teasing remarks. That was perhaps the first time I truly saw Snotlout as my cousin.
This is a page break, anyone that says it isn't a page break is wrong. That's why they are dead.
"Hello? Are you there?"
I was crudely pulled back into reality by my roommate's voice. Oh, that reminds me…
"Are you blind?" Oh my gosh Hiccup! You had to say it like that! Now time to backpedal.
"I-I mean I heard that my roommate was disabled in some way and you look blind so… Well you don't really look blind, your eyes just stare into my soul and normal eyes don't do that… Not that you are not normal or anything, but… I'll just shut up now." I moved my intense gaze on the floor, back up to my roommate's face. He was smirking and his eyes were, again, piercing my soul.
"Yup, I'm blind, have been since I was ten. Don't ask me how, I won't tell. I'm actually surprised that you figured it out this quickly. Just a look, huh?"
"Well, actually I have a little background with blind people."
"Really?" My roommate asked, excitedly.
"Ya, I'll tell you, if I can get your name?"
At this my roommate blushed.
"Sorry, how rude of me, I'm Jack and you are?"
"I'm Hiccup, nice to meet you Jack."
He tried to hold back his laughter, but it came out full force. Actually now that I think about it, he never did try to hold his laughter back! To shut him up I started talking.
"So I first met my blind friend Sandy at this place called Manny's School For the Disabled. He was enrolled there and Astrid and I both decided to attend for a semester because she was temporary blinded. We didn't know how long she was going to be blind and it was a very stressful semester for us."
"I can imagine. It's hard to find out you are going blind, I can't imagine going blind and having to just wait and see if you get your seeing back."
"Ya, exactly." Hiccup started at Jack in awe, other than Astrid, Sandy, and himself, no one knew what it was like. Takes one to know one right? Hiccup thought, shaking himself out of his memories before continuing with his story.
"So my friend Sandy and I, as well as Astrid when she wasn't in class, (she is a bit of a goody two shoes) talked about our disabilities and how we would want someone to handle us if they found out about our disabilities."
"Wait, you have a disability?" Jack asked, his dull blue eyes widening in shock. Hiccup ignored Jack and continued speaking.
"I told him I would like it if people would not treat me like I'm two and can't handle myself. I mean it used to be like that, but now? Almost ten years later, I can handle myself thank you!" Hiccup blinked, stunned, as if he didn't realize he told all of that to a near stranger.
"Like thank you for the help, but I am 20 years old, an adult, I am fine." Jack replied, smiling a little at how open Hiccup seemed, though he didn't tell Jack what kind of disability he had, Jack was fine with that. Maybe I can guess like Hiccup did. Hmm, not a bad idea. This time a new smile appeared on Jack's face, one of more mischievous origins.
Hiccup, meanwhile, was pleasantly surprised when Jack knew what he was saying and agreed with him. Maybe I will like college. Hiccup thought as he watched a mischievous smile appear on Jack's face. And he wasn't even bothered by it.
AN: I introduced Sandy and you can probably guess the other guardians are going to show up. Dagar, Toothless, and all the other dragons as well as everyone from the How To Train Your Dragon cast is going to show up soon. I posted a poll on my profile, you can check it out there or just review with the answer. The question is which pairings, besides Hijack, should be introduced into the story. Which ever is the most requested will be incorporated into the story. Review please!
Edit: I have changed my mind and have decided not to include any other dragons besides Toothless. Sorry!
