Chapter 12 – Burning beans

After dropping Hiccup off at the Hospital Wing, me and Rapunzel went and sat outside whilst Merida went back to her common room. She said something about studying before she left but she sped off too quickly to fully understand what she had said. We sat there in silence for a bit, Rapunzel ripping out grass and tearing the blades between her fingers. I sighed as I looked over to her.

"So.." I started. "Your hair glows and heals people." I nodded to myself as I remembered what had happened. She suddenly looked up at me and grabbed my wrist.

"You can't tell anyone! My mother would kill me!" She looked really serious, even frightened as she slowly let go of my wrist.

"I'm not going to, I swear. Why would your mother kill you anyway?"

"She says I shouldn't trust anyone because they'd try to cut it off." She looked back down at the grass.

"Good point, but you can trust me Rapunzel, I promise." I smiled at her as she lifted her head, smiling sweetly back at me.

"Thanks, Jack."

"Besides, it's not like I'd have much use for it anyway." She looked at me confused.

"Lets just say I don't get injured very often." I lightly laughed as she started playing with the grass again.

"So, you don't think I'm a freak?" I could see her eyes where starting to get watery. This was obviously something she'd always thought of herself.

"Of course I don't!" I shuffled over to her and pulled her into a hug, cuddling her into my chest.

"I think you're amazing." I whispered into her ear as she nestled her head in to my neck.

"Really?" Her voice was muffled by my jacket but I could still understand her clearly. I leaned back holding her in front of me by her shoulders, looking her directly in her emerald eyes.

"I always have. Ever since we met on the train. You are an extraordinary girl, Rapunzel, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." I lent in to move a strand of hair from her face, my cold fingers making her shiver slightly. I returned my gaze back to her face, we where about an inch away from each other. Our noses practically touching. So close. I gently wrapped my hands around hers, not caring about how cold my body was and by the look she was giving me, she didn't care either. We both leaned our heads in until our foreheads where touching, a gentle breeze whispered through our hair.

"Jack, I.." It was barely a breath as she spoke.

"Sshh.." I whispered gently. I leaned in closer, lips parted and almost touching hers. Her breath started to quicken as my heart rapidly started beating faster. I couldn't take it anymore. I felt electricity pulse through my body as her pink lips grazed against mine, making me catch my breath. This was actually going to happen.

"RAPUNZEL! JACK!" We both jumped, startled at the sound and quickly sat back from each other. It was Merida looking for us, she'd knew we'd come outside so she'd probably been searching the grounds for a while.

"There ya's are!" She stomped up to us as I clearly my throat awkwardly and looked back at Rapunzel who was blushing. Her red cheeks made me chuckle as she started to giggle along with me. I pushed myself up and offered my hand out to Rapunzel who took it and stood up with my help. We brushed the loose grass off our jeans and met up with Merida who had stopped and waited for us.

"C'mon you two, the nurse said we could go see Hiccup now." We followed Merida towards the school, luckily she hadn't seen anything and was completely oblivious as to why Rapunzel was so red.

We walked into the hospital Wing together, Merida was carrying a small box of some sorts but I couldn't see what it was. The whole room was deserted apart from one bed at the bottom where Hiccup sat doodling in his notebook. He looked up as we approached his bed.

"Hey guys!" He said joyfully as he closed his notebook and put in on the table next to him. Merida set on the end of his bed whilst me and Rapunzel took our places on the chairs next to them.

"Hey Hiccup, look, I bought you back some Every Flavor Beans!" Merida presented a small red and white pointed box decorated with comical pictures and bright colours. There was a yellow banner drawn on the side with the words "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" printed on it.

"Wow, thanks Merida!" He gave her a dashing smile as he started opening the box.

"So what happened yesterday anyway?" Me and Rapunzel exchanged nervous looks. He had been unconscious most of the time so he hadn't seen anything right?

"I can't really remember to be honest, must have bumped my head pretty hard though. I remember running up to a fence but after that its kind of bury, until I woke up in here." He gestured to the room around us as he plucked a bright green jelly bean from the box and plopped it in his mouth.

"Mmm apple." He smiled to him self as he searched the small box.

"Hey Jack, you want one?" He raised his eyebrow as he held up a bean.

"Erm yeah sure." He threw the bean over to me and watched as I caught it. It was a bright red colour with little orange speckles.

"What flavor is it?" I asked as I put it in my mouth and started to chew. Hiccup had a very mischievous grin on his face as he replied.

" Chili powder." The girls started to laugh as there was an explosion of heat in my throat, making me splutter and cough. The heat started to spread from my mouth down to my stomach making me almost collapse. The other where still laughing until they realized what was happening. My body wasn't used to this much heat, it felt like I had swollowed the sun.

"Jack, whats happening?" She bolted up from the chair and grabbed my arms. I tried to tell her I needed water but all that came out where a few distressed noises so I started frantically pointing at my throat.

"WATER! He needs water!" Rapunzel shouted at Merida who had already gotten up and started running towards a sink on the other side of the room. She came back with a glass as Rapunzel started stroking my forehead with the back of her fingers. My body didn't sweat but my skin felt like it was burning. Merida shoved the glass into my hand which caused it to instantly turn to ice. I was trying to cool my self down so much that my powers where on overdrive.

"Woah.." Merida breathed as I dropped the frozen glass and waved her off to get another one. Rapunzel settled me down on the bed next to Hiccup's trying to calm me down. I took a few deep breaths as Merida came back with a new glass of water and handed it to me. It froze a little but not enough to turn it to solid ice, it was more like slush. I drained the glass before throwing it onto the bed. I felt the ice slide down my throat as my body instantly cooled and I started to calm down. Rapunzel was still caressing my forehead as I leaned into her, panting.

"Thank you." I looked up and smiled at her as I said it. I heard Merida clear her throat behind us as she raised her eyebrow at me.

"And you Merida." She smiled to herself proudly as I stood up.

"Dude, what the hell was that? Are you allergic to chili or something?" Hiccup was still sitting on the bed, gripping the box of beans.

"I guess I am." I shrugged as I rubbed my forehead. Hiccup closed the box and put it on the table next to his notebook.

"Well that's enough of them." The nurse came out of her office at the back of room and walked over to us.

"Come now children, Mr Haddock needs his rest." She made little shooeing motions with her hands.

"Err bye Hiccup."

"Yeah, cya tomorrow Hic." We started walk towards the door, waving back at him.

"Cya guys!" He called after us as we left the room. I breathed out a big sigh as I put my arms around the two girls and walked in between them.

"Well, today's certainly been eventful." The girls just laughed as Merida tried to squirm from under my arm but I ended up putting her in a headlock until we got to the hall for dinner.
