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 5: Big Hero 6

Jack took a very deep breath as he braced himself for what was to come. Pippa had reassured him, in a way, making him feel like perhaps, maybe, he could give the alphas a chance. At least some of them. Toothless was a good start; Jack already was kind of fond of Toothless. But baby-steps for now. Tiny little baby-steps, which he took into the cafeteria right now.

"Hey. Can... I sit with you...?", asked Jack softly, a little nervously.

Jamie looked up at him surprised. Jack had never spent the lunch-break in the cafeteria. He only spent it out in his tree. Sometimes, Jamie would join him, but mostly Jamie sat with his friends inside and ate. This was the first time Jack had entered the cafeteria and put himself out there to spend his lunch-break with others. Pippa smiled pleased at him from where she sat opposite of Jamie. Next to Pippa was Monty, the blonde boy pushing his glasses up as he regarded Jack surprised. The twins Caleb and Claude were roughhousing a little, though they paused as they regarded the omega standing next to their table. Cupcake and Hiro were on either side of Jamie and they too looked at Jack with mild surprise, though Cupcake was fast to return to her lunch and namesake – pink home-made cupcakes. Jamie smiled brightly as he nodded.

"Of course you can, Jack! Where do you want to sit?", asked Jamie with a friendly voice.

Tilting his head, Jack pulled a chair up at the short end of the table between Pippa and Hiro. Hiro stared at him a little wearily. Jack did his best to offer a kind smile to the other omega. Biting his lips, he opened his lunch-bag and took out the cookies uncle Nick had made for him.

"Do you guys... want some?", asked Jack shyly, pushing the bag into the middle of the table.

"They're from Nick?", asked Caleb eagerly and reached out.

"Don't mind if we do", chimed Claude, no less eager than his twin.

Jack spent very little time with Jamie's friends, but on occasion they had hung out at Jamie's together and Jack deemed them to be nice. It helped that Monty, Pippa, Caleb and Claude were all betas. Only Cupcake was an alpha too and she was, despite her grumpy exterior, pretty cool.

"How... are you settling in with the Saint Norths?", asked Monty tentatively, munching a cookie.

"It's... okay", shrugged Jack indifferently. "Uncle Nick is a good guy. I know he's trying, but he's... he's not... dad. And Toothiana is fluttery and fun and excitable, but... she's nothing like mom."

"I know what you mean", hummed Hiro softly, causing the others to pause and regard them both.

"You do?", asked Jack a little surprised, trying not to sound offended at the assumption.

"My parents died when I was three", replied Hiro, swallowing dryly and staring down at the cookie in his hand. "Our aunt Cass took me and my big brother Tadashi in and she's been our mom since then and when she and Stoick got married three years later... They're the only parents I know, but I often come to think that... they aren't, not biologically. She's not the woman who carried me and gave birth to me, they're not the ones who gave me my name and offered me the first smiles I saw in the world. Stuff like that. I often miss my biological parents, even though I didn't even really know them. It's stupid, I guess, but yeah. You knew your parents. Of course do you miss them."

Frowning at that, Jack leaned in to brush his cheek gently against the other omega's. "It's not stupid to miss them just because you didn't get to know them. I'm... sorry you don't even get to know what you're missing. I... at least I know what I miss about them."

"And what do you miss about them?", asked Jamie gently. "If... you wanna talk about it?"

Jack shifted a little and this time it was Hiro's turn to lean in and brush his cheek against Jack's in that soothingly comforting manner omegas did. Jack blinked slowly and smiled weakly.

"My mother was a wolf, like my sister Mary. But my father, he was like me. An Arctic fox. And we were the only foxes where we lived, but it was okay, because I had him, you know? He had silver-white hair like me and I was... I was always proud of that, that I looked so much like him. Mom would always say that. He was mute, so he taught me and my sister sign-language early on. And... And he used to play a lot of tricks on everyone in the village. He taught Mary and me how to best prank people too. We'd... We'd have hours long snowball fights", whispered Jack, slowly getting lost in his memories. "Mom always fussed. She always worried about us. But... But she told the best stories. They were so... lively. She'd make up those fantastic stories of time-traveling aliens and talking worms and people living on the moon... Mary and I, we never wanted to go to bed, we just wanted to listen to her stories all night long."

The others regarded him with sad but fond looks as they listened quietly. Jack was a little startled as Hiro snuggled up to him in comfort. It had been a while since Jack last got omega-cuddles. He had forgotten how grounding and soothing it was to have a fellow omega lend him support like that.

/break\

For the past couple of days, Jack had spent every lunch-break with Jamie's little pack and he was growing rather fond of Hiro in particular. The younger omega was also seemingly growing attached to Jack too, definitely more at ease with Jack now than he had been at first.

Deeming that experiment a success, Jack figured he was maybe-perhaps ready to take the next step and try to get to know his own classmates. Sadly, Jamie and the others were one year below him, after all. Jack fidgeted, far more nervous about this than he had been about approaching Jamie, considering he already knew Jamie and to some extend Jamie's friends.

He was aware that the others had tried to approach him from day one – Rapunzel in particular. The squirrel-girl was insanely excitable and she seemed determined that Jack should become their friend. Jack had downright ignored them so far. But she had given him an open invitation to hang out with them whenever he wanted. She said they could either be found in the Ugly Duckling, which was apparently the most frequented bar and restaurant of town, or the Lucky Cat Café. Jack had casually asked Toothiana about both establishments and thus learned that the Ugly Duckling was apparently a very fun and special kind of place, while the Lucky Cat Café was run by Cass Haddock-Hamada. Curiously, Jack made his way to the café that afternoon.

Jamie and the others had to cram for an upcoming test, so Jack figured that maybe the time had come to go and get to know his own classmates maybe a little better. The café looked nice, homey. With lots of panorama pictures of San Fransokyo. Jack stood in front of the wall, staring in awe. He had never been to San Fransokyo himself, he had never been to any big city before.

"Hello and welcome to the Lucky Cat Café! My name is Heather. You looking for a seat?"

Jack turned slightly to face the beautiful black-haired omega. "No. Uhm. Just... looking for someone. Have... Rapunzel and the others maybe been in already today...?"

Heather smiled and nodded, leading Jack to the back of the café where six teenagers sat together at a table, laughing and talking. Rapunzel, Flynn, Moana, Merida, Toothless and Hiccup. Jack wanted to pause as he saw Hiccup but then he took a breath. He was going to give them a chance. He had promised Mary to try and make friends. Jamie and Toothless were nice and they were alphas. And Toothless was, apparently, best friends with Hiccup, so Hiccup couldn't be that bad.

"Brother! Look who I found and who's been looking for you guys", called Heather out.

Hiccup turned his head at that. Heather Haddock, then. One of the many kids of the Alpha-couple. Mentally, Jack tried to go through the Hamada-Haddock kids. Hiccup. Hiro. Hiro's older brother who Jack had yet to meet. Heather. Wasn't there another one or something...?

"J—Ja... Ja...", stammered Hiccup wide-eyed. Like always.

"J-a-c-k", spelled Flynn out helpfully, patting Hiccup hard on the shoulder. "It's not a hard name."

Hiccup glowered at the other alpha and sunk lower in his hair. Toothless and Merida next to him snickered knowingly, kicking Hiccup beneath the table. Moana next to Merida smiled and poked her chocolate cake with her fork, while Rapunzel on Flynn's other side perked up happily.

"Jack! You have decided to join us after all! That's wonderful!", exclaimed Rapunzel. "Sit."

Carefully, Jack slipped in next to Rapunzel, squeezing everyone on the booth a little closer together. Jack was incredibly nervous. He wasn't good with new people and while he had been on a couple group-projects with those particular classmates of his, he still wasn't really sure about getting to know them on a personal level. Rapunzel was so affectionate. Flynn, Moana, Toothless and Hiccup were alphas. Merida was a little weird. Jack kind of wanted to go home and curl together on his bed.

"So, what made you change your mind?", asked Moana directly, raising one eyebrow.

Jack shrugged his shoulders, focusing on the menu in front of him. "Was bored. Jamie and the others have to study for a test tomorrow. So... I figured... why not."

"Ja—amie, huh?", drawled Flynn with a broad grin, wiggling his eyebrows. "Been spending a lot of time with Ja—amie, haven't you? Unmated alpha and unmated omega, sitting in a tree – literally, hah. Don't tell me you already wrapped an alpha around your little finger?"

Jack looked over the rim of the menu with a deep frown. "No."

"...Good conversation, thanks", snorted Flynn a little amused.

"I have other things on my mind than alphas. Jamie is a... friend. A good friend. You people are friends too even though you're alphas and omegas too", countered Jack unimpressed.

"Ye—eah. Sure. Flynn and Rapunzel. Hiccup and Merida. Toothless. And I. We're good friends", drawled Moana and gave him a deadpan. "We're two couples and two fifth wheels."

"Well, maybe you and Jack...?", offered Flynn with a shit-eating grin, wiggling his eyebrows.

Jack furrowed his brows even more, ignoring the playful jibe from Flynn and instead focusing on the part where Moana suggested that Hiccup and Merida... Tilting his head, Jack looked between the now uncomfortable redhead and the equally uncomfortable brunette.

"It's like Romeo and Juliet, just a happy version", chimed Rapunzel with a smile. "Hiccup is the heir to the Berk-pack, Merida is the heir to the Burgess-pack. The borders are rather blurred, but instead of drama and fighting, we have romance and a united future and all of that."

Jack hummed and nodded. "So, does he stutter around every omega, or just newbies?"

Merida hollered in laughter at that. "He's an awkward bean, but I swear, he's not bad. He just needs some time getting used to people. Once he's comfortable, he's a sarcastic little shit."

"Excuse me?", huffed Hiccup indignantly.

"...It's the truth, don't try to fight it", snorted Moana and reached over to ruffle his hair.

Jack tilted his head, deciding to withhold judgment until he saw more of Hiccup. Maybe that was true. After all, he was different with the people he cared about than with strangers. And Hiccup was... a nice example of an alpha when looked at, but that didn't have to mean he was also confident. Maybe omegas in general made the alpha nervous.

/break\

"What got you in such a good mood?", asked Cass amused.

She barely had time to get out of the way as Hiccup barreled past her. Normally, she always had a hard time convincing him to work in the café because he preferred being in the forges or workshops. Baking was not Hiccup's strong-suit and he was a little awkward in the service too. But for the past week, Hiccup had been very eager to work in the evening shift, which was odd.

"Jack's been coming in to get pastries and buns for the family lately, ever since he first tried your cakes", supplied Heather where she was putting on her apron. "And Hiccup is still trying to befriend Jack. Though... it's a work in progress. Hiccup really is too awkward for his own good."

Hiccup decided to ignore his mother and sister, instead heading out to where he could already see Jack waiting at the counter. The beautiful omega was bent over to inspect the cupcakes, cakes and pies that Heather, Cass and Honey, who worked part-time at the café, had baked.

"Hello, Jack", smiled Hiccup, immensely proud that he could speak full sentences by now.

...He really was a pathetic alpha, wasn't he? Just one beautiful and cheeky omega and Hiccup forgot how words worked. Jack was just so much of everything. And weirdly enough, the better he got to know Jack, the fonder he grew of the white-haired omega – yet at the same time he also grew more comfortable with him. Seeing the slowly forming friendship between Jack and the others, to see Jack more relaxed – it helped Hiccup relax too. The banter between Jack and Moana was fun and even though Hiccup was a bit afraid of the bad influence Flynn would be on the omega, there seemed to be a great friendship in the making between the two foxes.

"Hey", grunted Jack, looking up at Hiccup from beneath his lashes as he was still crouched down in front of the display. "So. A piece of that blueberry pie. And a piece of the strawberry pie. And for uncle Nick... whatever tastes the sweetest. Tooth-rotting sweet."

Hiccup laughed delighted as he got Jack's order ready. "Nick and Toothiana really are a match."

"Mh?", grunted Jack very confused as he straightened again.

"Nick with his sweet-tooth, being mated to the island's dentist", elaborated Hiccup. "That's how they met, you know? Nick broke off a tooth at a too-hard piece of fruit-cake. Came in to Toothiana's office and has been smitten with her ever since."

"...I didn't know that story", whispered Jack with a gentle smile.

That smile alone made Hiccup blush. "Uhm. So... I heard you joined the art-club?"

"Rapunzel has been bugging me ever since I came to this school. And Toothless said that you have to have at least one kind of club-activity", sighed Jack. "They gave me some leeway since I was... in such a bad place and now new and all of that. But yeah... I gotta make a decision."

"Believe me one thing: You'd rather chose to join the art-club than getting stuck in the football team. It's a nightmare. I spent half a year on the team because my father insisted and it was murderous", muttered Hiccup with a horrified, wide-eyed expression.

The ringing sound of laughter startled Hiccup. Blinking slowly, Hiccup looked at Jack. The omega was even more beautiful when he was laughing – and this might just be the first time Hiccup saw him laugh. His ice-blue eyes sparkled brightly and his expression was so open and expressive. Hiccup found himself falling just a tiny bit for the omega. So far, he had mainly just marveled at Jack being a pretty omega and had been generally flustered because Jack was an omega. But now that Hiccup actually got to know Jack more, he felt himself quite enamored with the omega. So perhaps Toothless was kind of right that Hiccup had been jealous of Jamie, but that was when he had been just attracted to Jack on the base of Jack being a gorgeous omega. Now that Hiccup felt actually emotionally drawn to Jack, he was incredibly glad that there was nothing going on between Jamie and Jack because it would probably completely crush him.

"T—There you go. Your order", grunted Hiccup and handed over the cakes.

Jack smiled gently as he took the takes and got his wallet out.

"How is school going, children?", asked Nick pleased while eating his cake.

Toothiana smiled as she sat next to him, only drinking her tea and regarding the mass of sugar her mate was eating with mild horror. Mary was happily devouring her strawberry cake, while Jack was curiously poking the blueberries out of his own to eat them one by one.

"It's awesome! Sophie and I got a gold-star on our presentation", chimed Mary.

"Atta, girl", laughed Nick in a jolly-way, patting Mary's head.

"What about you, Jack?", inquired Toothiana gently.

"I signed up for a club. The principal said we all have to", shrugged Jack.

"What club?", inquired Nick interested.

"Art. I figured since I like doodling...", shrugged Jack. "Rapunzel and Hiccup are in it too."

"You're making friends! Good!", nodded Nick more than pleased.

"...Yeah, I guess", mused Jack softly.

/break\

Mister Bunnymund was kind of a weirdo, but he was fun to tease, something Jack had learned from Flynn. Flynn was generally pretty cool, he pulled a lot of pranks around here, often together with the twins Tuffnut and Ruffnut. The trio tried to rope Jack into their pranks too and more of then than not did Jack agree. It was a lot of fun. Jack was also enjoying art class in general, aside from riling Mister Bunnymund up. It was his time to get closer to Rapunzel and Hiccup in particular, which was good. Because when hanging out, Jack mainly bonded with Toothless, Moana and Flynn. The only one he hadn't quite found a connection to was Merida, if he was being honest. But that was okay, he couldn't be best friends with everyone – and for now, he was actually glad that he finally found an angle to get along with Hiccup. Hiccup was quite the artist, mainly drawing dragons.

"I love your paintings", whispered Hiccup as he looked over Jack's shoulder.

Despite himself, Jack flushed a little at the proximity and the praise. "It's just... color."

He mainly painted filigree patterns of vines and flowers, mainly in white and various shades of blue. Ice-flowers. Rapunzel had been absolutely delighted and had squealed the first time she saw them, while Hiccup had just gaped at it. Since then, Hiccup had been kind of watching Jack paint.

"They're more than just color. They're very expressive and no pattern is ever the same with you", argued Rapunzel firmly. "And it's your way of expressing yourself, that alone makes it beautiful."

Hiccup hummed in agreement before he returned to his drawing of a big brown dragon. It was always dragons with Hiccup, though this one in particular, Hiccup drew quite often.

"What's with the dragon? It's your favorite motif", asked Jack softly.

"...It's my mother", whispered Hiccup and paused. "My birth-mother. I never met her. She died shortly after I was born in a fire. We... lost most memorabilia in the fire, but I have one picture of her in her dragon-form. I can't quite get the color right though, I guess..."

Jack's eyes darkened with sadness as he looked at the dragon. "She was beautiful."

"Thank you", murmured Hiccup back.

"So, are you two coming to the lake with us today?", asked Rapunzel lightly, trying to change the mood. "It's frozen over, you know? Flynn and I thought we could ice-skate. Merida and Moana already agreed, though Moana looked rather grumpy..."

"She's a bird of paradise. She's still not used to snow and winter", chuckled Hiccup fondly.

"You can... ice-skate on this island?", asked Jack excitedly.

And just an hour later found a more than happy Jack skating circles around the others, laughing freely. Hiccup stood unsure, clinging onto Moana, both alphas completely out of their element. Flynn and Rapunzel raced each other with smiles, while Merida followed Jack.

"You're good at this", commented Hiccup as Jack came to stand in front of him.

"Mom and dad used to go ice-skating with us all the time", grinned Jack. "Stop clinging onto each other. Merida, come here and help me with the helpless alphas!"

Merida gladly joined him, though unexpectedly, she grabbed Moana's hands to pull the female alpha along with her. Then again, from what Jack had seen the two were very close friends. Still, Jack would have thought she'd pick the alpha who was apparently courting her and thus her boyfriend. Shrugging the thought of, Jack took Hiccup by the hands and pulled him more onto the ice too, carefully guiding him. Jack had grown surprisingly fond of Hiccup over the past three weeks. He smiled amused as Hiccup stumbled after him.

Author's note: I am personally offended by you guys thinking "The Fox and the Hound" was an accident. This is a Disney/DreamWorks fanfiction. Of course was the referrence in the chapter title on purpose *chuckles* I mean, come on, the title of the first chapter "The Bear and the Bow" was the originally pitched title for "Brave".

Either way, so yes, all the chapter titles are referrences to animated movies. And in this particular case also a play on the Big Four nickname that Merida, Rapunzel, Jack and Hiccup have. With Moana and Flynn, that makes it six.

Next chapter is going to bring more focus on Jack's friendship with Rapunzel and Flynn, among other things~

Oh, and I'm currently taking HiJack prompts on my tumblr - takaraphoenix - for my Christmas Calendar Project, so if you drop me an ask with a winter/Christmas related word and the pairing (HiJack's not the only one I'm taking; Shklance, Malace, Jimon and Nicercy are also options), you'll get something nice in December ;)
