Surprise surprise, I am posting this chapter only a few days after posting chapter 2. I was actually excited myself! I hated leaving at such an absolutely crucial moment in the story… you know, when Hiccup and Jack were finally reunited.

But seriously, you all are freaking amazing with your motivation and stuff. This story would be nothing without you, and it's true. This story has been up for 2 weeks and I have a nice following here!

So, On to reviews, and man are there a few of them (Apologies for not posting them all with the last chapter. Some names will be repeated.)

Hiro-Haddock-Frost (Guest): No sir. This story is strictly between these two shows. However! Keep an eye out for the story that will follow this one! I am calling it The Protectors! Check Youtube for that one!

Maka Ano: You really think so? I felt as though I could have done better.

KainVixenheim: Gimmie my money! I have delivered!

Faisyah865: You have more.

Bunneh (Guest): You got updated

Love Laugh and Live Your Life: Yes. I thought I captured the essence quite well on that point. I had to think it through on that… I spent a few nights at work thinking about how I wanted to play this out.

KainVixenHeim: I give you another chapter

Kigan Dawn: I am glad you pointed that out, because it is true. Zero is a good guy but… antisocial as all hell. And angry when messed with.

Dark Ace: It will not be easy. Stay tuned. And to answer your question, Yes. Jack is mortal. Everyone can see him… however, he is still the winter spirit. It's just who he is.

Love Laugh and Live Your Life: I thought so too! I am glad you caught that! The original chapter title was 'Busted' But the more I thought about it… actually when I was writing the lines where Tooth said 'He made you experience the love you shared' I realized that title would suit better.

Onto chapter 4.

Somebody to love.

The two sat quietly as Jack snuggled into the warmth a bit more… he usually was fine with the cold but he took a lot of comfort in the cold. This was different. He knew that his old body and this one were different. Whereas he used to be dead, he was now living. He could feel things around him.

Most importantly… everyone could see him. But he was confused… if he were alive, why wasn't the cold affecting him like it should? He didn't feel sick, save for the drowsiness and dizziness from traveling to another dimension. And nerves over the brown eyed boy his heart ached for… who knew nothing of him past his name. Not anymore anyway… or yet, if what Zero said is true.

He hadn't seen him in years but he knew he loved this boy. It was ingrained into his head as his body tilted and fell back into the snow, completely forgetting about his inhibitions as he fell unconscious to the smell of pine.

"Crap." Hiccup said as starred off at the white haired boy… his crystal blue eyes drooping after introducing himself to the Dragon trainer with his odd name. Hiccup felt he was probably imagining it, but the white haired boy seemed to snuggle into his cloak, happily clothed and warm. It was strange to see how familiar he acted around Hiccup… but then again if he was naked in the forest, he would be thankful to anyone who found him… as long as they helped him, that is.

He was actually thankful his father forced him to carry it in this moment. He didn't really find he needed it, as his armor protected against most anything, including cold weather. His father merely insisted he wear it to break the wind from his back when he and Toothless went out scouting on the ground. An emergency precaution, really. His father always wanted him to be prepared for anything… but he was sure this was hardly what he meant by this… it would keep him warm and hide his body from the villagers.

His body was a sight to behold, he had to admit. He studied his bare legs sticking out of his cloak… so pale and smooth. He didn't even have a single body hair, and no visible scars or blemishes. The snow treated him like camouflage. He was lucky he was spotted in this heavy snow.

He would be pretty if he didn't look so damn sick. He would probably look much better when he was well again. Hiccup stood up as he motioned to Toothless, the black dragon keeping his distance, and he had the dragon carry Jack on his back. With a yip, the Dog-like dragon took Jack's weight easily.

This was certainly cutting into his chore time, which he still had plenty of until it was time for lessons that afternoon with the village children. He bit his lip, trying to mask his slight irritation. He was a bit worried. He couldn't exactly fly Jack back to the village if he wanted to keep him safe. It left him with the only option he had: walking. He still had things to do but he certainly couldn't leave him here… his bed would serve the boy well enough until he could get up on his own. Hiccup scratched the black dragon and turned to the north, "Let's get him back to the house and into the warmth, eh?" He said as Toothless nodded and made a grunt.

The profound understanding he shared with the Night Fury bordered on empathic, He nodded in understanding. "Yes I know he will need some pants. We need to get him some of those. It was implied, bud." He said as the two made the short journey back to Berk.

The small mountain village was bustling as normal. Ever since Hiccup had essentially liberated the dragons from their pursuer, alterations we're being made to the village to better situate the harmony between Dragons and their Riders.

The 16 year old Dragon Master nodded as people in the village took notice of the barely covered body was drug through the village on the back of his Night Fury. Hiccup nodded at the various bystanders, trying to ignore their inquiries, asking who the white haired boy was and if he was okay. He answered each one in a similar fashion.

"He's alive for now."

"We will see. I don't think he's dying, oddly enough."

"No… I'll get him some clothes. Thanks."

The only person he really stopped for was Astrid… who had no qualms about running up to the brunette and questioning what the heck was going on. She bound up and fell in line with him as she took in the nearly nude winter spirit, whose breath was calm despite looking horribly sick and pale. "What happened?" She asked as he looked up and adjusted the cloak as it fell over his posterior.

With a small flush at the situation, he sighed before looking back at her. "That's what I am trying to figure out… I found him like this in the forest and he was freezing cold but alive… I thought he was dead at first before I found he could drink. He nearly drained my whole canteen in one drink… Then things got really odd." He said as the blonde gave him a sign to continue. Hiccup bit his lip and sighed, "He just looked up at me and said my name… like he knew exactly who I was."

"Did he know you?" She asked as she looked back at him momentarily with a confused look before looking back to Hiccup. Hiccup looked a bit conflicted on this fact. "I… I don't know about that. He claimed it was merely because he felt the need to hiccup… not in fact saying my name but his tone said otherwise. It was… confusing. He spoke so warmly when he said it."

"Oh how cute Hiccup. Are you blushing now or something?" She said as she linked their arms, "I mean… he is handsome. Should I be worried?" She said as he pecked her cheek, "Not likely, Astrid." He said, half amused, half embarrassed at her suggestion. They hadn't been together this long for no reason… the thought that anyone could replace her after all they went through… it was incredulous. Impossible, even. He loved her. He literally gave his foot to save her (And everyone else… but that was a given)

He shook those thoughts away and looked up, "Oddly enough, that wasn't the weirdest part of all of it." He said as they stopped outside of his home. She looked up, "What was it then? It isn't odd enough that he acted like you were a familiar friend?" She said as they stopped to look at the black dragon adjust the winter spirit again. "He told me his name. He said his name was Jack Frost." He said as she raised an eyebrow, "That… is really odd. I mean, really weird. Who names a kid after a legend like that?" She said as she looked at him yet again, "Do you think… he is the guy himself?" she asked as Hiccup waved it off, "I doubt it. Look, I need to get Dad so we can get him some clothes and get him in my bed. We need to warm him up."

Astrid held a teasing smirk on her lips again, "Sheesh, he gets to sleep in your bed first too? You just met the guy." She said, elbowing him with a laugh. He rolled his eyes and gave her a brief kiss before waving her off and walking toward the door, "Grab Stormfly. Dad asked me to get some supplies today and I lost a bit of time taking him back. I need some help catching up."

"I'll be there Hiccup. See you soon." She said before she jogged off to finish her current chores.

He opened the door to the house he and his father shared, motioning to Toothless to sit down and wait for his dad. The fire was crackling in the corner, meaning his father wasn't too far away.

Hiccup walked into his house and looked about, "Dad! I need a hand with something!" He said as the burly bearded Viking looked up from his desk (Which was still too small for him to sit at) and looked at his son, "What is it?" He asked as Hiccup bit his lip, "I think we may have a temporary guest… and he needs a pair of pants."

Stoic had held the winter spirit as Hiccup had wrestled some of his bigger pants on him and slid an old shirt over his torso… he felt a bit envious at Jack's natural tone to his body and lack of the freckles he had. His unique hair and eyes… It was hardly fair.

His father had been a bit curious as to why Hiccup brought a naked man to his house, but lifted the winter spirit anyway and helped hold him up so Hiccup could dress him. "How did you find him?" He asked as Hiccup nodded satisfied and pulled his blankets back as his father set him down. "I was out getting some supplies with Toothless and I just found him lying there. It was weird… I thought he was dead for a few minutes…" He said as his Dad nodded, "If he wasn't breathing, I would probably think the same thing. The boy is as cold as an icicle."

"Well… he did introduce himself as Jack Frost…" Hiccup admitted as Stoic looked at him like he was crazy, "Did he really do that? I mean… it seems like an odd thing to name a child. Does he have any family he mentioned?" He said as Hiccup shook his head.

His father turned to the bed and began making sure Jack could have all the heat that he could get, "What do you think we should do with him Dad?" Hiccup asked as his father tucked the boy in as he seemed to finally relax in the bed, the brunette was highly surprised at his father's gentleness with him. He imagined he was like that with him as a child and his mother…

"I can't say for certain. But you found him Hiccup. You have to assume the responsibility. What do you think we should do?" He asked as the brunette contemplated the idea, "I would want to see if he has any family or even any place to go. I mean… if he is willing to help out, I am sure we can find some room for him." He said as Stoic nodded, "We can show him some hospitality at least until he proves he doesn't deserve it… but I suggest we keep an eye on him. I can't say I rightly trust anyone who introduces himself like that. But only time will tell." Stoic said before waving his son off.

"I'll go finish my chores, Dad."

"That would be best for now."

After they had Jack nestled in Hiccup's bed, the brunette finished his chores with Astrid, thank the gods for her, and got to his favorite part of everyday… the Dragon Training. Or at least it normally was his favorite time of the day.

But something didn't strike him quite right with his students. Usually the kids were way more enthusiastic, being the energetic little buggers they were… but today they were all yawning, eyes baggy as they barely paid attention to their dragons as he explained to them all the proper way to clean between a Dragon's scales. He quickly gave them a sad glace at their haphazard attempt to scrub their baby dragons. He didn't mention anything, figuring they were out flying late (Which he advised them all not to do. They never did, despite his constant warnings.)

After a couple of hours of truly failed lessons, he saw a familiar dragon flying toward him with a purpose in her heart. He saw the husky blonde trainer step off his dragon and walk toward him, "I can take over from here." He said as the brunette, slightly dejected at the failed lessons, sighed with relief.

"I appreciate you relieving me." Hiccup said as Fishlegs hobbled in beside Meatlog. The Gronkle wagged her tongue as she and Toothless began playing like dogs. "I came by a bit earlier than expected. Something happened." He said as Hiccup immediately shot his head to the blonde, "What happened?"

"Your dad ordered me to take over the rest of your lessons today because..." He said as he quickly reigned in his dragon, scratching her ear. Hiccup looked over at the kids and back to Fishlegs, "Is he upset with me?" He asked, worried. His dad rarely got upset with him these days… but when he did, it was not a good thing.

"No… the guy you brought in today apparently woke up and immediately decided he didn't like our company and ran off into the forest you brought him in from… your dad said he wouldn't get far in his condition but still… your dad thought it best if I take over for the rest of the day." he said as Hiccup shook his head, "I mean… there could be any number of reasons he ran off… we shouldn't assume it's one reason or another. I guess I should go and find the poor sap. What possessed him to run off so soon?" He said, also wondering why it bothered him this much… the white haired man was hardly a prisoner and with no real history that Hiccup could connect to him with, he was hardly a guest or neighbor. He clicked his teeth as he and Toothless ran and the duo took off into the skies.

Jack had forgotten how… frightening Hiccup's father can be when you aren't anticipating waking up to a seven foot tall Viking after being knocked clean out for an undetermined amount of time. There was a moment of stunned silence as the shadows fell over the man in a horribly menacing way. Jack felt frozen in time… he felt vulnerable despite being fully clothed.

Actually, that fact made him feel even more vulnerable, as it meant he had someone dress him. He shook his head as the large Viking stumbled toward him and he instinctively reached for his staff… and he realized it was gone! 'Crap…' He thought as the man took a step forward and raised his hands in a way he thought was predatory and he flipped out, using his smaller size and speed to dash past him and bolt from the house and through the village at top neck speed. He didn't realize that maybe they had tried to help him until he was knee deep in the snow.

Maybe he should have thought the situation through but any time that involves his staff being out of his possession is cause for panic. Luckily the snow wasn't falling and the sight of Dragon and foot tracks was easily spotted as he dashed through the snow. He may no longer be a ghost, but snow didn't bother him too much either way.

He was so busy dashing that he didn't even realize that there was a shadow of a dragon flying overhead, carrying someone searching for him. He hardly accounted for the dragon's superior speed, just the Vikings who rode them… but he dashed on through the snow as he finally approached the area he had… appeared in, noted by a large amount of tracks and a large hole in the snow where he lay.

He began slowing down and digging in the snow as the Dragon landed and Hiccup leapt off of him. "Hey! Stop! Where do you think you're going?!" He said as he bolted forward, slowing down when he saw the white haired boy digging in the snow… wondering what it was he was seeking. "Did you… lose something?" he asked as he knelt down beside him and watched him dug huge handfuls of snow up and heave them, seemingly not noticing Hiccup before his hand curled around the wooden staff and he pulled it from the snow.

"Thank goodness…" He said as he tapped it on the ground. "Sorry for running off… this is just incredibly important to me." He said before turning his blue eyes on freckled green, "Thank you… you know… for finding me a pair of pants." He said as he watched the brunettes cheeks tinged, "It was no real problem… why the heck were you out here by yourself? The first time. Not this time." Hiccup asked as the two just sat in the snow, the duo catching their breath.

"That's complicated to explain." Jack said as his fingers threaded in his hair and running them through it.

Hiccup held firm, "Try me."

"I would rather not." Jack retorted as Hiccup blinked. He hadn't exactly expected to be told… well, no.

"I think you owe me a little explanation, considering that you probably owe your life to me. You also are wearing my pants. And you were sleeping in my bed. I offered you a lot of hospitality and all I ask in return is your story, Jack." He said as Jack's cheeks heated as Hiccup used his name… the way it rolled off his tongue in that charming nasally tone…

"Well then, Hic, I can't really argue on that one." He said, getting in a more contemplative position.

"Hic, huh?" Hiccup said as the winter spirit merely flashed his pearly white teeth.

"Well, it sounds cooler than Hiccup." Jack said before continuing his statement, trying his best to recall his family story as best he could without giving too much away. As long as he didn't tell Hiccup he was his lover in an alternate universe and he was here to make him fall in love with Jack again, he was hardly breaking Zero's terms, was he?

"Well… a lot of it is foggy but… I lost my family before I ended up here. My family was a group of traveling alchemists. My parents could brew potions with the best of them, and were looking for a place to settle down. We had heard of Berk, and thought we could finally settle down for good and I could take a spouse and my sister could grow up to do the same. We weren't sure how well we would have been received but we were determined to try.

"But we ran into some trouble… we were attacked by… some rogue dragons. I… I ran. My family didn't make it with me. The dragon's fire caught my clothes and I threw them off before I burned. Hence why I wasn't… decent when you found me. I ran until I just… passed out." He said making a quick flourish, as if to say 'You know the rest.'

Hiccup noted the foggy look in Jack's eyes, feeling immense amounts of Sympathy as the white-haired boy eyed his staff with longing, "Was that your father's?" He asked as Jack nodded.

"For what it's worth… I am really sorry that happened. I lost my mother when I was really young so I can't say I 100% sympathize but… I offer my condolences." He said as Jack nodded.

"I have learned over time that death isn't an end to anything. Instead of grieving, I should instead cherish the memories and time I had to spend with them and…" He looked Hiccup dead in the eyes with an intensity Hiccup had never seen in another human being besides his father, "always look to the future." He said as Hiccup swallowed hard.

Jack had some of the most intense eyes he had seen on a person… he felt… frozen in time but his skin burned under his cool gaze. He wasn't just looking at him. He was boring into his soul, as if he could see who Hiccup was better than he could. Jack was insightful, obviously… almost eerily so.

It was a good few minutes, despite feeling like a decade, before Hiccup spoke, "Where are you planning to go now?" He said as Jack raised an eyebrow, as if he had forgotten Jack's story already.

"Right… Well, you did make it. If you want, I can speak with my father on your behalf. I am sure we can make a bit of room in my house, or my barn. You don't have to be without people… especially not now." He said as Jack smiled again. "Well, it's not like I have any other choice in the matter… do I?"

"Not a one."

"Well then I suppose it's settled." Jack said, before pointing his staff back in the direction of the village, "Shall we get a move on, then?" He asked as Hiccup took his turn to smile, "I have a better idea… Toothless!"

The black dragon suddenly let out an excited grumble and bounded toward the two as Hiccup effortlessly climbed on as Jack starred at him incredulously before he remembered that Hiccup taught him this at one point in his life, "Let's introduce you to Berkian culture the right way." He said as he pat directly behind him for Jack to sit.

The white haired male smiled as he took his cue and climbed onto the black dragon, who grumbled something barely noticeable as Hiccup smiled, "Hold on, okay?" He said as Jack nodded… feeling a bit daring.

His pale hands slowly took hold of Hiccup's hips as his fingers dug into his armor slightly… feeling the heat nearly radiating off them.

Jack was busy thinking, as the black dragon took off into the sky, 'I certainly cannot complain about living again…'

Hiccup was busy thinking about how despite the coldness in Jack's fingers, they were so incredibly warm on his hips.

SO! I suggest to any people who have questions about the story continue reading these authors notes!

I wanted to clear up a few possible questions you may have.

1. Is Jack Mortal?

A: Yes. He is visible by any and all people. He is alive and well again, despite keeping his cold temperature and hair.

2. When is the story set?

A: It's after the first movie, when Hiccup was 15. But before the second movie. Hiccup is essentially 16. Jack is 17.

3. By the way, what are the roles of the two?

A: Jack is the dominant, despite acting a bit flustered. Just remember, he knows for a fact that he loves Hiccup. And he is just reunited with him. Emotions are swirling.

4. Will Jack be getting a dragon?

A: Yes! I planned on him getting a dragon at some point! What breed and gender should the dragon be? I am open to suggestions or even your own original ideas.

5. Will any other stories (AKA Rapunzel, Merida, Hiro, Elsa, Anna, etc.)

A: Uh… I don't know. Maybe? If enough people request it (As in, more than 2 people) I'll consider it.

So Here is chapter 3! How was it? Good? Bad? Should I quit while I am behind? Tell me in a review… and always keep story math in mind.

Reviews = Motivation = Chapters.

Also, speculate about what should happen in the next chapter (No HiJack romance stuff. Not yet, anyway.)

Until next time.
