Day 6 ^_^ Based on the quote "You're all hard work and deadlines, and I'm all snowballs and fun times." - ROTG

Jack looked around the Guardians in confusion. Why would they want him to be a Guardian? "No offense, but why me? Why now?"

When none of them could answer, he realized that they were most likely being forced into it. They still didn't want him. He scoffed and took off into the air, being a guardian wasn't for him. He loved being just a seasonal spirit. Sure no one believed in him, but at least he had the other spirits to keep him company. Especially the Spirit of Autumn.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of the thoughts. He needed to focus. He smiled as he made it snow in the proper places with a few blizzards and hail storms thrown in. He made his regular stop in Burgess, taking a few minutes to have a snowball fight with some of the local kids. That was his favorite part of being the Spirit of Winter, seeing the joy on children's faces when they played in the snow. He lingered for awhile longer, hanging around one of his favorite kids, Jamie, before he asked the Wind to take him to the Seasonal Court.

The Seasonal Court was nothing more than a large building that existed solely in the spirit world. No one was really sure who had created it or its original purpose but it currently served as home to any and every seasonal spirit that sought shelter there. While Jack didn't exactly call the place home, (that for him was Burgess) he frequented the place solely to visit his three closest friends, Merida, Rapunzel, and of course, Hiccup.

When he arrived he went straight for Hiccup's room, eager to get his mind off of the day's events. "Hic!" He shouted as a way of greeting the brunette.

Hiccup turned around in time to see Jack lunge at him. "Jack! You're back!" Hiccup barely managed to stay upright with the force that Jack used to tackle him in a hug.

Jack nodded eagerly, "Let's go get the girls and do something!"

Hiccup shook his head, "We can't. Merida's still mad at you for well you know. And Punzel's out with that new wind spirit, Rider."

"Oh...well we can do something right?" Jack pleaded, pouting so cutely that Hiccup could only nod.

"Sure. What do you want to do?" Hiccup's eyes scanned Jack up and down, he could tell that something was wrong with his friend but he had no clue what it was.

"Can we go ice skating?" Hiccup nodded, he was the only one who would ever go with Jack. Neither of the girls could really handle the cold all that well. Since Autumn was slightly chilly to begin with, it wasn't that much of a stretch for Hiccup to handle the cold weather associated with Jack's season.

"Wanna ride on Toothless?" Hiccup asked, ready to call the black dragon. Jack simply shook his head, picking up the younger spirit and taking off towards the pond nearby. He placed Hiccup carefully back on his feet before he stepped onto the pond, instantly freezing the surface.

Hiccup grinned and waited not very patiently for Jack to make him a pair of literal ice skates. As they skated, Hiccup catalogued the small things that he noticed that were different about his sort of, maybe crush. The way Jack's smile didn't seem to reach his eyes, his shoulders tense with an emotion that he couldn't quite decipher, and the way that Jack had been almost completely silent.

Once Hiccup had had his fun, he sat on the edge watching Jack show off. "Jack, come sit with me?" he asked softly figuring his friend had had enough time to goof off.

Jack nodded reluctantly, he knew that Hiccup was going to ask what was wrong. He sat down next to Hiccup, pulling his legs up towards his chest. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Hiccup broke the quiet, "Are you really going to make me ask?"

Jack shook his head, "No...I just...gah! I don't even know where to start."

"I heard starting at the beginning is usually the best place to start." Hiccup teased, only to be rewarded with a gentle shoulder nudge.

"Chill out with the sarcasm. You know the Guardians right? They um asked me to become one of them."

Hiccup's jaw dropped. The Guardians were literally the most famous spirits ever. Every other spirit aspired to be them to some degree. "Wait, if they asked you to join them, why are you here right now?"

Jack subconsciously rubbed his eyes, "Because I turned them down and kind of ran away from them?"

"JACK! What were you thinking?" Secretly Hiccup was glad that Jack had turned them down. Had he accepted, there was a chance that Jack would no longer be able to see him. Guardians had very limited interactions with the Seasonal Spirits.

"I...They're all hard work and deadlines, and I'm all snowballs and fun times. I don't fit in there." 'I fit here with you.' Jack thought. He already knew that even though it wasn't the only reason, the fact that he wouldn't be able to see Hiccup was a major factor in his decision.

"Jack...you don't have to be one or the other. You could find a balance between the two." Secretly Hiccup was hoping Jack would ignore him, he didn't think he could stand it if the other left.

"I don't think they even want me there. At least here there are people who want me around. Hic, it's not a big deal."

Hiccup took a few moments to think before he replied, "It is a big deal Jack... It's every spirit's dream to be a Guardian, to be believed in, and you're just throwing your chance away."

Jack whispered, "I can't leave you Hic." Hiccup's eyes widened in shock. "Look, I know it's kind of sudden but I...I've liked you for a long time Hic. I don't think I could stand to lose you." Jack's piercing blue eyes stared into Hiccup's green ones, hoping that the other would feel the same way about him.

"Jack...I like you too. A lot. And that's why I can't just let you throw this away." Hiccup shook his head. "There's no real rule that Guardians can't talk to Seasonal Spirits... You should at least-"

He was cut off by a pair of pink lips pushing firmly against his. Hiccup melted into the kiss, kissing back with force. He had wanted this for such a long time...

Jack pulled back after some time, "If I do become a Guardian Hic, it's going to be on my terms. That includes being able to see you whenever I want."

"I'd really like that. Especially if it means being able to do more of that."
