2 months and 37 dates later…
"Hiccup…the boards are not going in the bedroom!" Jack scolded.
"All yours are in the garage and there's no more room mixed with the toys!" Hiccup complained as he carried three boards simultaneously up the stairs.
"There is plenty of room!" Jack argued as he shooed his boyfriend down the stairs.
"Fine but you're helping me with that!"
"I'm busy organizing the drawers and closet for your massive amount of clothes!"
Hiccup groaned and rolled his eyes dramatically as he turned and went outside, giving Jack a very nice view of his swaying backside that he knew he was shaking on purpose as he moved.
Had he known having Hiccup move in with him and Emma would be this insane he'd have built an extra room for all his things. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head as he continued moving his room around. Ever since Emma officially became his, not only were he and his sister closer, but he was having more fun with his friends and Hiccup. Almost every day Hiccup had taken him out or stayed over and helped with Emma. It was only a matter of time before Jack just let him move in.
Neither of them really spoke about that crazy day when Jack became a winter spirit; to be honest, neither really knew how to broach that topic. But Hiccup never ceased telling Jack how hot he looked with white hair and blue eyes. Hiccup didn't even pressure Jack to talk about that day or what really happened. He knew that someday Jack would tell him everything and he would be ready when he did. Right now, Jack was happy just by enjoying everyday life with his family on the island and forgetting about his worries in the past.
He stood up and looked around his messy room and chuckled; he could finally just be himself again. He found a framed picture of Emma and himself at the bar smiling happily when he'd gotten custody of her officially. He then found the newest picture of Hiccup and himself taken on one of their dates. Emma had decided to tag along and bring her camera. They chose that moment to walk along the beach at sunset and hold hands. Emma found her opportunity to snap a picture just as they were kissing. Jack had to admit he was ready to throttle her for giggling like a maniac and ruining the moment, but she took a damn good picture.
Speaking of Emma, he decided to see just how the little monster was doing outside. Hiccup had probably talked her into helping him move things in the garage by now. She almost did everything in her power to disobey Jack's little requests where Hiccup she answered to his beck and call just to piss him off. As much as it did annoy him, he found he could use it to his advantage but also enjoy the fact that she loved Hiccup just as much as Jack and it was then that he knew Hiccup would fit in right at home with them.
Sure enough as he walked outside, Hiccup and Emma were stacking boards and moving some things around to make the garage Hiccup's personal board care station. He rolled his eyes and couldn't help but love the fact that soon they'd be a family.
Emma was so much happier now and even though she still didn't have any friends, it was as if she chose not to let it bother her. Jack had great hours working for Hiccup's dad and could spend so much more time with Emma as well. Not only that, Hiccup's father encouraged Jack to apply for an online school and continue his education. He'd never even considered it before and couldn't thank Stoick enough.
He watched them continue to speak to one another, Hiccup telling Emma crazy stories about sharks and Emma was laughing and having the time of her life listening to the tales.
Toothless barked and bounded over on his three legs, having found some sort of frog to chase around the house.
Emma chose that moment to rush off after the dog, laughing hysterically at his poor hobbling.
Jack watched Hiccup laugh at the scene and shake his head as he watched them fondly. He turned and noticed Jack watching him on the porch and decided that the garage could wait. He rushed up the porch steps and gathered Jack in his arms.
Jack caught off guard, yelped in surprise but managed to find his mark and plant a kiss on Hiccup's mouth.
Hiccup returned the kiss, keeping his hands wrapped around Jack's middle.
No words passed between them as they stood on the porch and held one another.
"Aloha au ia 'oe." Hiccup whispered.
"I love you too you big sap." Jack smiled.
"No Kau a Kau?" Hiccup asked, his green eyes pouring out all of his love into Jack's.
"Forever." Jack confirmed as he placed a soft kiss on his nose, "Mau loa."
"Ohana till the end." Hiccup said proudly, "Sure we're a little broken, but…still good."
"Yeah…still good." Jack smiled back.
"I have something for you and Emma. You know to thank me for letting you live here now." Hiccup smirked as he put his hands in his pockets.
"Oh?" Jack grinned, leaning back a little but never taking his hands from around Hiccup's neck.
"I figured I'd show you first before Emma cause chances are she's gonna flip."
Jack raised an eyebrow as Hiccup showed him what looked to be three tickets to…
"Graceland?!" Jack shouted as he stared at them, "We're…we're going…"
Hiccup grinned and nodded, "I figured a trip off the island as a family was in order. Our first vacation!"
"Oh man…you're right Emma is going to flip." Jack laughed as he stared at the tickets he now held.
"And don't worry, I asked dad for the time off and he's gonna watch Toothless for us."
"Hiccup…this is…this is…"
"Incredible? Spectacular? Hot?" Hiccup chuckled deviously.
"All three and more!" Jack said as he lunged at Hiccup and threw him inside the doorway where he quickly closed it behind them, leading the love of his life to the couch to make out with him endlessly.
…..
"Toothless!" Emma laughed, "Come on! Stop chasing it!"
Toothless didn't let up and led her past a lot of trees and to a house that Emma had known was abandoned and under construction for a while. They must have finished with it recently because it looked like people were moving in. She could see two brunette adults ordering and helping islanders in overalls as they moved furniture.
Emma found Toothless and put a hand on his collar so he wouldn't run off as she watched the couple curiously. They didn't look like they were from around here really.
She suddenly heard another dog barking and saw a greyhound bounding around and chasing a ball. Toothless was already tugging at Emma's arm as he lunged, barking happily at the dog.
"Wait!" she called as she rushed after him.
She was worried the dogs might not like each other but was relieved when they sniffed and wagged their tails playfully.
"Abby? Abby!" a small voice called, rushing over.
Emma noticed it was a small brunette boy about her age. He too looked worried that the dogs might fight but smiled when he came to them and patted his dog on the head, "Good girl." He smiled.
Emma stared at the boy curiously, "Are you…are you new here?" she asked him.
"Yeah! My dad got a job here on the island. We're from New Hampshire." He smiled, "I'm Jamie. Jamie Bennett. This is Abby."
Emma smiled excitedly as he held out his hand for her to shake, "I'm Emma Overland and this is my brother's boyfriend's dog, Toothless."
Jamie scratched his head for a second but shrugged and nodded. He was obviously nervous about not being able to make friends on such a small island but here was a girl already who was happily introducing herself to him.
Emma suddenly looked over to see a small blonde girl running out and wearing fairy wings, giggling to herself.
"That's my little sister, Sophie." Jamie pointed.
Emma couldn't believe it; two kids just moved in next door practically! And they both looked so nice!
"So do you live here?" he asked.
"Yeah! Over there!" she pointed excitedly.
"Wow! We're like next door neighbors!" he said happily, "I was so afraid I wouldn't make friends here."
"Really? Well…I can be your friend!" she said happily.
"Cool! So…what do you do for fun here?"
"There's tons to do!" she smiled, "We have a beach, stores, forests, and hula dancing, and…"
Jamie laughed excitedly as she told him all of the crazy things to do on the island and found that maybe living in a new place wouldn't be so bad after all.
"You know…if you want to…I'm going to the beach with my family later today…you can come too if you want." Emma asked him shyly. She was so used to people turning her down, but maybe Jamie was different.
"Really? Cool! Let me ask my mom." He smiled.
"Okay!" she smiled as she waited. He rushed over to hop up and down and beg his mom to go to the beach with Sophie later.
Emma watched with anticipation, still feeling the familiar dread of kids not wanting to play with her. But instead of being looked at funny, his mother turned and smiled at her. Emma felt excitement well up in her chest when she saw the woman nod at Jamie.
Jamie came over excitedly and told her that later he could come with her to the beach. She wanted to hop up and down in joy but decided to play it cool, "Awesome!" she smiled, "I'll come get you later."
"Okay, I'll see you!" Jamie smiled and waved as she turned with Toothless and walked back to her house to tell her brother the good news.
The smile never left her face as she walked through the brush. It wasn't until she noticed something on the ground did she pause. She walked over and picked up what looked like a painted rock. She examined it further and realized that it was a painted Easter egg. She smiled and turned it over where something was written just for her;
To a real believer: Wish Granted! Your friend, Bunny.
She held the egg close and looked up, finding the moon and whispered happily, "Thank you."
