Summary: Walter Works High School is a place where shifters of all races and secondary genders learn together. It's located right at the borders of two very small towns and due to their size, the small towns share the high school. Hiccup, a young alpha dragon-shifter, is the son of the Alpha of Berk, one of the two towns. He's well respected and well-liked by others. Everyone expects Hiccup to one day be mated to Burgess' heir Merida, the omega bear-shifter. Both teens have been fighting this tooth and nail for years now, being good friends but nothing more.

One day, Jack Overland moves to Burgess and the gorgeous omega instantly catches the interest of Hiccup. The problem is that Jack is from a part of the world where omegas are seen as the lowest and most worthless of shifters, so he has no idea how to handle his new surroundings – a community of mixed racial shifters that live peacefully and see omegas as precious.

The Dragon and the Arctic Fox

Chapter 4: The Fox and the Hound

The principal was a very pale and very round beta. He was also very kind, had given Jack the whole spiel about being new and being welcomed and if there was anything he needed, the principal's office would always be open for him. By the time Jack left with his class schedule, Toothless – what was it with this island and its weird names – was still waiting for him. He was alright. For an alpha.

"What's your first class?", signed Toothless curiously as he walked backward in front of Jack.

"Uhm... Art with... Mister Bunnymund?", offered Jack, holding the schedule on one hand.

"Then I'd like to introduce you to some people", signed Toothless with a broad grin.

Jack looked skeptical but he followed the alpha to a classroom. There was anxiety in the pit of Jack's stomach. He hated new settings. New people. New people normally didn't like him. The classroom they entered had fallen silent and all eyes were on Jack and Jack hated that. It was always like that. Whenever he went somewhere, everyone would stare at him for his white hair, pale skin, his weird appearance. He was always that weirdo and that freak and he was used to being called that. He was also used to being belittled by alphas. Both for being an omega and for looking so weird. No one wanted a pale, skinny, little omega. Jack shifted nervously.

"Oh my gosh, you're the new omega!", exclaimed a high-pitched voice.

Jack startled and stepped back, just to stumble into Toothless behind him. The black-haired alpha grasped his shoulder and steadied him with a gentle smile. Okay, so Jack might actually kind of like Toothless so far. Blinking slowly, Jack turned to look at the omega in front of him. Her flowery-scent gave her away as an omega. She smiled at him bright-eyed and... what was with that hair? His eyes widened as he looked at the very, very long braid swaying behind her. Her hair was unnaturally long – and it was already compromised into a braid. It was also decorated with flowers.

"...Yes", replied Jack reluctantly.

"I'm Rapunzel Gothel! Hello!", greeted the blonde, eagerly shaking Jack's hand. "I'm a squirrel-shifter and an omega and I'm so happy to meet you! Those are my friends!" She stepped aside a little to reveal three people behind her. A guy with ridiculously fluffy-looking dark hair, a girl with cloud-like red curls that were just everywhere and a very exotic looking girl with long black curls. "This is Flynn Ryder, he's an alpha and a fox-shifter and my boyfriend. That's Merida DunBroch, she's also an omega and she's a bear-shifter. And this is Moana Waialiki, an alpha and bird-shifter."

Jack nodded briefly, no intentions of memorizing their names. Though he couldn't deny that he felt a little relieved that he was not the only omega with weird hair in this town, as he looked at the too-long golden-blonde hair of Rapunzel and the red cloud of fluff on Merida's head. He disregarded Flynn and Moana completely for now. He had just made too many bad experiences with alphas. He was not even going to waste his time trying to impress or befriend them. It'd only be a disappointment later on when they proved to be like every other alpha ever too. Which was why, just because Toothless seemed nice, Jack was not going to get invested either. He was used to being dropped by people, being disregarded when he proved to be too weird or too annoying or too little like a typical omega should be. Jack walked past them to sit in a corner, aware of their eyes on him.

"Jack, my boy! How was first day of school?"

Jack flinched just a little at the very loud, booming voice. Uncle Nick sure was the kind of person one needed to get used to. The man was nothing but kind and Jack very vaguely remembered him from his childhood. He definitely remembered the stories his mother Katherine used to tell about the jolly, caring man who had been the closest thing to a father Katherine ever had. The thought of his mother made his heart feel tight and tears sting in his eyes.

"It... It was fine", whispered Jack. "I'm tired. I'll take a nap."

"But... lunch?", asked Nick confused as he watched the boy head upstairs.

"I'm not hungry, uncle Nick", sighed Jack and shook his head.

He could see that his uncle wanted to object, but Jack was already in his bedroom and threw himself onto his bed, burying his face in his pillow. He hated this stupid island already. All those nosy people, being just curious about the new freakish omega. Once he wasn't new anymore, they would lose all interest in him again. Why should he get hopeful about them being interested in him?

"Did you make lots of new friends already?", asked his sister's soft voice.

Jack grunted into his pillow as his bed dipped and his sister snuggled up to him. "Why bother?"

"Because you're great", whined Mary, cuddling up more to him.

Sighing, he turned onto his side and opened his arms for his sister, hugging her close. "But I got you. That's enough. I don't need stupid alphas who are nice to me just to laugh in my face for believing they'd spend time with the weirdo. You know that, Mary."

Mary whined and brushed her cheek against his. "You're not a weirdo. I know that."

"You do. But when they learn...", drawled Jack with a sneer before shaking his head. "How was your first day, sis? If anyone gave you a hard time, I will hunt them down."

Giggling, she hugged him again. "No, silly. They were really nice. And I already made friends!"

"Yeah?", asked Jack with a gently smile, caressing her hair.

The siblings sat up and she turned her back on him so he could braid her hair. "Yes! There is this set of triplets, they're like nearly identical and really mischievous, they totally remind me of you! Their names are Harris, Hubert and Hamish. They're the sons of the large, scary man with the red hair that we met when we arrived here. And Gustav, he's a dragon and he's funny because he wants to be the leader, like his big brother, or so the others say. But the real leader is Sophie. She's so cool!"

"Yeah?", whispered Jack with a fond smile. "Tell me about her."

And Mary launched into a long-winded story about her new friends while Jack braided her hair.

Over the following few days, Jack very pointedly ignored all attempts at socializing from the four people Toothless had introduced to him. He also dodged Toothless whenever the dragon approached him. Mainly so because Toothless was always with that Hiccup guy and some of the others and urgh, no, not after that first impression. Not gonna waste a minute.

"You're weird."

Jack flinched instinctively and thus nearly fell down the tree he was sitting on. He turned to glare at whoever had just spoken, finding a brunette alpha standing on the ground, grinning broadly. He had a book in his hands about legends, judging by the title.

"I know. So go away", grunted Jack, returning to his own book.

"Why? Oh, no, I didn't mean that being weird is bad!", exclaimed the brunette with a grin. "I've just seen you climb that tree every recess now and... I didn't know foxes liked climbing."

"Well, I do", replied Jack shortly.

The alpha laughed and actually started climbing the tree too. "I'm Jamie. Everyone's talking about you, you know? New guy and all. Mysterious and cool, because you're 'too cool to talk to others'."

Jack blinked slowly and looked up from The Son of Neptune to look at the brunette. "What?"

"You're the most exciting thing to happen to this island in years", pointed Jamie out. "We don't have a lot of stuff happening here. And a new omega moving here is totally exciting."

Sighing, Jack closed his book to glare at the alpha. "Well, I'm not exciting. So shoo."

"Shoo?", laughed Jamie amused. "I just wanna get to know you."

"Well, I don't wanna get to know anyone. Please. At my old school, we had this convenient agreement that people just looked through me and ignored my existence", stated Jack. "Do that."

Jamie legitimately looked terrified at that. "What? No. That's awful. I can see you. I'll not ignore you. Come on, friends aren't a bad thing. So, what are you reading there?"

"A book", was Jack's only reply before he opened the book again to continue reading.

/break\

Over the following week, Jamie proved to be the most persistent person on this island, though Toothless was a close second. Jack tried to ignore them, but they were more stubborn than anticipated and Jack might also have kind of sort of... liked them. That realization came to Jack in his second week on this island when Jack agreed to drop Mary off at her friend Sophie's, just to have Jamie open the door. The alpha looked surprised at him, staring.

"Jack! Hey. Do you wanna hang out?", asked Jamie eagerly.

"No. My sister wants to hang out with... who I assume is your sister", drawled Jack.

And just then a blonde girl pushed past Jamie, giggling in excitement. "Mary! Come, come, come, the triplets are already coming up with a plan for today and I need to veto them!"

Sophie grabbed Mary's hand and pulled her inside. Jack frowned as he looked after them.

"Wanna come in?", offered Jamie gently, opening the door further.

Jack glared and wanted to say 'no'. But if he was really, really honest, he was so lonely and bored. The curse of an omega. This instinct to seek out others was just so strong. Sighing and rolling his eyes, he walked in and followed a now very excited Jamie inside. The alpha had actually started reading The Lightning Thief after seeing Jack read the books for the past few days, trying to talk to Jack about them. He was persistent and didn't allow to be shaken off, but he was also not being pushy. He wasn't imposing some kind of alpha superiority and trying to push Jack. If anything, Jamie acted pretty beta around Jack actually. And it was kind of appreciated.

"Soph and the others are just outside. You wanna watch a movie?", asked Jamie eagerly.

Jack peeked out of the backdoor to see three red-headed boys, a brunette boy and Mary and Sophie playing at a treehouse. He smiled slightly as he heard his sister's laughter. Only then did Jack reluctantly follow Jamie toward the living room where the brunette sat down on the couch.

"So, what movies do you like?", asked Jamie curiously.

"Comedies. But only 80s and 90s comedies. The new stuff is all... just rehashing and cheap copying of the good old stuff", declared Jack in challenge.

Jamie frowned as he got off the couch again to scan the DVD shelf. "Okay... Police Academy?"

Jack perked up a little. "Okay. I can get down to that."

He sat down on the couch comfortably and watched how Jamie popped in the movie.

Hiccup frowned, an upset pout on his lips as he sat in the shade of the gym together with Fishlegs and Toothless. It had been a little over two weeks now that Jack Overland had moved to Dragon's Edge. And Jack had made a spectacular job of ignoring Hiccup. Granted, that was mainly Hiccup's fault probably, because he had yet to recover from that awkward first impression. Every time Hiccup stood in front of Jack, his brain completely failed him. The omega was just so... much. So intense, with the eyes and the unimpressed looks he gave every alpha and he was so cute and Hiccup just couldn't concentrate on words when he was around Jack.

"You're so bad at this", teased Toothless amused. "So I heard that he's making friends with the Freshmen. Jamie Bennett and his friends. And he's actually been talking to me. Sometimes. He's very... reluctant. I think he's still very busy mourning his parents. Loss is... hard."

Hiccup heaved a shaky sigh and nodded. He guessed the same thing. Jack and Mary had just lost their parents, their home, everyone they knew. Of course would making new ties be hard on Jack.

"But he's getting along gre—eat with Jamie", grumbled Hiccup peeved.

Toothless snickered, showing his fangs. "Jealous brat. I introduced him to Rapunzel and Merida on his first day. He at least started working with the other two omegas during group projects and he even talks to us during class. It'll be a slow process, but I'm sure he'll warm up to you too, Hics."

Hiccup continued grumbling to himself. Why was he so bad at this? At everything? But especially at talking to an omega. A pretty omega like Jack, at that. A confident omega like Jack. Confident omegas were not impressed by stuttering, blanking alphas. He knew that from Merida.

/break\

Hiro was laying curled together on Hiccup's bed, a glower on his face. Hiccup paused a little as he saw that. That was where Hiccup had planned on throwing himself to pout and soak in misery.

"...Little brother?", asked Hiccup gently. "What's wrong?"

"I was so eager for the new male omega to move here", grumbled Hiro. "And... And now we barely even spoke. I dunno why I thought we'd be like instant best friends. But that he'd steal Jamie..."

Hiccup's eyes widened at that and he nodded slowly. Right. Hiro liked Jamie. And now that Jamie invested so much time into befriending Jack, Jamie was jealous. Even more so than Hiccup.

"Hey, they're just friends", whispered Hiccup gently as he started caressing Hiro's hair. "You don't need to be jealous. Jack's not trying to steal your alpha. And you and Jack can still become friends."

Hiro grumbled beneath his breath and hugged his pillow closer. "I asked Jamie if he wanted to go to the library with me and he told me that he was going on a run with Pippa and Jack."

Hiccup squinted thoughtfully. As the future Alpha, Hiccup made a point of vaguely knowing all the 'sub-packs' of their island. And Jamie was the Alpha of a small group, with Cupcake the alpha bear, Pippa the beta wolf, Monty the beta bunny and little brother of Honey Lemon, as well as the twins Caleb and Claude, the beta bears and brothers of Wasabi. Since Jamie himself was a hound, he had the urge to go on runs. That was the problem of mixed racial packs; different shifters had different urges. So Jamie and Pippa usually went on runs with older canine shifters. But what with Jack being a fox and being still very cautious about his new surroundings, it was probably the best when Jamie and Pippa went on a run with Jack alone, without so many others there to make the omega anxious.

"Go with them", prompted Hiccup casually. "You don't always have to go on runs with Tadashi and GoGo. Go with them. Befriend Jack, flirt with Jamie, don't ever tell dad or Tadashi that I suggested the latter because then I'll be scalped. But yeah, go out and have some fun, Hiro."

Hiro looked doubtful and wiggled his nose. "...Okay."

/break\

Jack was excited. He had started out nervous, unsure why he had agreed to go on this run, but his instincts screamed at him that he needed this. It had been so long since he had last been on a family run. So when Jamie had, sweetly, asked if Jack and Mary would like to go running with the Bennett-siblings, Jack had allowed himself to be roped into this.

"Ja—ack, Jack, catch me!", called Mary giddily.

Mary wasn't like Jack. Not at all. Mary wasn't an omega and Mary wasn't a fox. She was a wolf and she was eagerly running through the snow, chasing after the two hounds in front of them. The Bennett-siblings. Jack's heart felt just a little warmer as he watched his little sister chase after them. It was ridiculous. An alpha allowing an omega to chase him. But that was just Jamie. He was sweet and kind and caring. He was gentle and did everything to make Jack feel better. In the past three weeks of living here, Jack had really grown fond of Jamie. He kind of liked Toothless and Rapunzel and Merida too, but Jamie might just be his favorite. Jack wasn't ready to use the 'f'-word, but Jamie might just be the closest thing to a friend that Jack had here.

"Hey, guys. Look who I found!"

Jack startled a little and turned to look at Pippa, a beta wolf from Jamie's class and group of friends. The wolf was patting toward Jack with a small red fox trailing behind her. The fox smelt like omega, giving Jack some pause. Jamie, Mary and Sophie returned to them too at that.

"H—Hiro", stuttered Jamie, ears flickering a bit.

The little red fox nodded and came to circle Jamie, tilting his head. Jamie followed right away and the two circled each other. Hiro. The son of the chief. The eager little one who had been jumping around Jack on the first day but been... sulking in the shadows since then. Oh. Oh, the other male omega wanted to approach Jack but hadn't had the guts to. Now Jack felt bad. He knew what it felt like to be the only male omega around. Hiro had probably gotten really excited about Jack and Jack had been so deep in his own head, his own pain, that he hadn't even noticed the other omega. Not to mention that Jack had been busy building walls to keep everyone out.

"I thought I could run with you? If... you don't mind", asked Hiro cautiously.

Jamie yelped and the hound jumped up a little, startling Hiro before Hiro followed the lead and also jumped a little. Jack tilted his head as he watched the fox and the hound play around in the snow for a little bit. Sophie and Mary were also busy playing, so Jack was startled when a wet nose poked him. When he turned, he saw Pippa looking at him curiously.

"Tag. You're it", declared Pippa, wagging her tail.

Jack tilted his head confused as the female beta ran off, clearly asking Jack to follow her. He had so many problems with this island. Or rather, his problem was that he didn't have problems. Blinking, he decided to chase after Pippa until he caught the she-wolf and had her pinned.

"Feeling a bit better?", asked Pippa softly, nipping Jack's ear.

"...Yeah. The running helps", admitted Jack and heaved a sigh.

"Wanna talk about why you seem so... uncomfortable all the time?", asked Pippa gently.

The two of them walked in a slightly slower pace, watching the other four still play around. The way Jamie and Hiro moved with each other, they sure were familiar with each other. And it really was a bit of a ridiculous picture to see a fox play with a hound like that.

"I don't understand this island", admitted Jack, voice low as he ducked his head. "Where I'm from, alphas don't just befriend omegas. They try to impress omegas to add to their bedpost notches. And... female omegas normally make fun of me. The abominable male omega. The freak."

Pippa nodded slowly, seemingly in understanding. And something in her eyes was gentle, like she did understand. Maybe not what Jack was feeling, but perhaps that it had hurt Jack. When cautiously semi-befriending Jamie, Jack had gotten to know Jamie's little pack too. Cupcake was a weird one, but in a funny way. She was this large, bulking alpha and yet she always wore pink and pretty princess dresses. Jack had kind of a soft spot for her. Monty was a bookworm, which was sort of endearing. Caleb and Claude were jocks – one was on the soccer team and one on the football team and they regularly switched places because the twins liked to pretend to be the other. And Pippa, she was the calm, reasonable one. She was definitely the Beta to Jamie's Alpha.

"Well, Dragon's Edge is better. We're all really close. We're one pack. We stick up for each other. Sure, there are always some who try to prove they're better than the rest or think they're entitled to something, but... overall, the alphas around here are more protective of omegas than trying to collect them like trophies. You should really give us a chance", proposed Pippa.

Jack hummed, not replying verbally but rather watching how Hiro and Jamie were playing around. Jamie was living proof of how alphas on this island were. Maybe he could give them a chance.

Author's note: If you haven't noticed yet; this fic is a Slow Burn. Very slow. But next chapter will have Jack befriending Rapunzel and Merida and he will also give Toothless and Hiccup a chance. So. We'll get some positive HiJack interaction. It's due time for that, I know!

Sooo, I thought I'd include a little chart on who's in what class, who's dating/loving-and-future-dating who and who's alpha, beta, omega!
