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.

Chapter 6: Over the Hedge
"What are your plans for today, children?", asked Nick over breakfast on Sunday morning.
Honestly, Jack really enjoyed their family meals together. They did help him feel more at home with Nick and Toothiana. It also helped him feeling more in-tune with Mary and what she was doing here. His little sister smiled in a chipper way as she munched her muesli.
"I dunno. Maybe we'll go to the beach?", mused Mary thoughtfully.
"I... I wanted to visit Rapunzel today", replied Jack reluctantly.
"Ah. You befriended the omega girl from next door?", laughed Nick with sparkling eyes.
Jack gave a half-shrug. "I mean. We're in the same classes and she made me join the art-club. And since she's the one living the closest to us... I thought I could maybe visit her."
"It's good to see you making friends, Jack", smiled Toothiana gently.
"Jack's really popular at school", chimed Mary in, offering a toothy grin to her brother.
"That's not true", huffed Jack with a frown. "I befriended Jamie Bennett. And I'm... making a couple acquaintances. But I'm definitely not popular."
"Ye—eah you are", giggled Mary with sparkling eyes. "Sophie says that you're friends with all of her brother's friends. And the triplets say that you're friends with all of their sister's friends too."
"Merida and I aren't that close", argued Jack with a frown. "I mean, her friends... kind of. I'm still getting close to them, but I dunno about friends yet. It's been... long since I had... friends."
The playful smile left Mary's lips and she averted her eyes in silence. A silence that befell them all.

It was an hour later that Jack found himself at the most curious of houses. The Saint Norths lived up on the tall, snowy mountain, overseeing both Burgess and Berk. And at the foot of the mountain, still some way off from the two towns, stood a tall tower. It was the closest to a neighbor that they had. Berk looked curious from above, because the houses had landing platforms, considering most of the natives were dragon-shifters. Burgess on the other hand was overseen by a castle from the cliffs toward the ocean. Jack knew the castle was where Merida was living.
Taking a deep breath, Jack knocked on the door and waited. When the door opened, his eyes widened. The man before him was mildly terrifying. His skin was ashen gray and his hair black, greasy and slicked back. His eyes were fallen in and had a cruel tint to them as they regarded Jack. He smelt of beta, which Jack was grateful for because if the scary man would have been an alpha, Jack would have turned tail and ran away. Befittingly, he was dressed all in black.
"Yes?", drawled the man, still regarding Jack with mild disdain.
"I'm... Jackson Overland, sir. I wanted to visit Rapunzel?", offered Jack uncomfortably.
"Ah", nodded the man and stepped aside to let him in.
"Honey, who's at the door?", called a woman out.
She was a little less scary than the man, but still. Frilly black hair, as thin a frame as the man. She was followed by two other females – one of them a very short old lady with gray hair and curious eyes, the other, thankfully, Rapunzel. Rapunzel's eyes brightened as she smiled at him.
"Jack!", exclaimed Rapunzel happily and hugged him. "I'm so happy to see you! Come upstairs!"
Jack's gaze lingered on Rapunzel's odd family for a long moment before he was pulled upstairs. And by 'upstairs', he meant the highest room on the high tower. He was a bit out of breath by the time they reached it and happily collapsed on the other omega's bed.
"No offense, but your family is kind of creepy", grunted Jack with a frown.
She returned his frown and tilted her head. "They took me in when no one else wanted me."
"Mh?", grunted Jack and sat up slowly, regarding her carefully.
"My parents, they died when I was just a baby. And mother adopted me. I was raised by her and my grandma – everyone calls grandma Gothi, you know. Because Gothel is our family name and all", replied Rapunzel with a smile. "She's mute, but that's not a problem for you, you know ASL, right? And my stepfather, he's... Yeah, he's kinda creepy. Kozmotis Pitchiner. He came here with Mister Bunnymund, Mister Sanderson and your aunt and uncle. But him and mother, they... complete each other, I guess. That's all that matters, that he makes her happy, right?"
"I guess so", nodded Jack reluctantly.
"What about you?", asked Rapunzel eagerly, inching closer. "Did you meet anyone yet who... makes you happy? Like, more happy than others?"
"Punzel", sighed Jack and rolled his eyes. "No. I'm... still getting used to the whole... friends thing."
"The whole friends thing?", echoed Rapunzel amused, tilting her head.
Jack averted his eyes and decided to take a long look around the room instead of looking at her. It was beautiful. Kind of messy, but with a lot of personality. The walls were painted with colorful pictures and symbols. It was all very... Rapunzel, in lack of a better word. And Jack liked that.
"I used to have a lot of friends before I presented", offered Jack softly. "I used to be brunette when I was a kid, but the closer I got to presenting, the more the... color bled out of my hair. I was always treated differently for being an omega. Alphas didn't take me seriously and sneered at me. Other omegas, I don't know, they thought I was too weird to hang out with."
"I get that", whispered Rapunzel, making Jack look up at her. "Mom used to home-school me, you know. I... never dared to leave the tower because I was afraid of the outside world, until... until I met Flynn. He broke in because his friends Ron and Jon dared him to. Troublemakers, all three of them. This place, the tower, it was creepy and everyone was kind of afraid of it, you know? And then he was just there. And I... followed him. And I loved the outside world. I begged mother to enroll me in school, that's where I met Merida and Hiccup and later on Moana."
"And... before that, you were... all alone?", asked Jack, keeping his voice soft.
"Oh no, not all alone!", laughed Rapunzel delighted and reached her hand out. "This is Pascal!"
Jack jumped slightly in surprise as a tiny green thing crawled onto Rapunzel's hand and was then thrust into Jack's face. Blinking slowly, Jack regarded the scaly little creature.
"...What... is he?", asked Jack slowly. "And is he a shifter?"
"No, Pascal is just a regular chameleon. He crawled into the tower one day when I was a little girl and we've been best friends ever since", replied Rapunzel with a smile, tilting her head. "Do you want to shift and play tag? Pascal is spectacular at tag!"
The next moment, Rapunzel had shifted into a golden-brown squirrel, her long bushy tail reminding Jack of her long golden-blonde hair. Tilting his head, Jack shifted into his fox-skin. He was by far larger than the other two and also faster, but he still found himself enjoying the game. At least until something dark-brown and red jumped through the window and evened the odds. The alpha fox easily caught Jack and nipped his ear playfully, tail wagging a little. Rapunzel squeaked and climbed on top of the fox's head, calming Jack down considerably. Then this must be Flynn.
"He—ey, Jack. Didn't expect to find you here", grinned Flynn playfully as they shifted back.
"I was... trying to make an effort. For this whole friendship thing", shrugged Jack with a half-grin.
"Good for you! You know. If you want to make new friends...", drawled Flynn mischievously.
"Oh no. No, that's an awful idea, Eugene", chided Rapunzel with a serious frown.
"Eugene?", echoed Jack and grinned amused.
"Eugene Fitzherbert Flynn Rider", sighed Flynn solemnly. "It's a burden if your third name is the only bearable one, you know. Blondie here is the only one with permission to use my first."
"Then I shall be calling you Fitzherbert from now on", declared Jack as he started cackling.
"You're a little shit", huffed Flynn offended. "Wanna help me out with a prank?"
"Eugene, no", repeated Rapunzel seriously.
"Eugene, yes", countered Flynn with a grin.
/break\
Flynn had weird friends. Ron and Jon Stabbington were seniors and they were kind of rough. They were also both alphas and tall and broad and intimidating. And they were quite nasty, if they wanted to be. But they were Flynn's oldest friends, apparently. Then there were the other twins. Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston. Jack liked them. They were both betas and stupidly funny.
"Okay. So. The plan is the following", started Tuffnut with a smirk, before faltering a little and turning toward Flynn with a frown. "Uh, what was the plan again?"
"Ron and Jon stole these from Honey Lemon's lab", started Flynn. "It's dye. And it'll dye a dragon's scales for three days, even with intense scrubbing. As most things with Honey, it's pink."
"Okay. And who's the target?", asked Jack, a small grin on his lips.
"Why, the 'royal famil' of course!", declared Flynn mockingly.
Jack opened his mouth to say something, just to pause. Four dragons flew down below them and Jack's mouth hung open. He hadn't seen a dragon-shifter actually shifted before. They were magnificent. One was very large, looking a little like a bug with its horn. He was imposing and led the flight, so Jack guessed that to be Stoick. Left to him was a sleek silver dragon that looked like it was made of metal, at the rear of the flight was a cool looking yellow-reddish-brown scorpion-like dragon. But the most magnificent one was the one on the Alpha's right. He was sleek and black and mighty. Jack was too much in awe as he watched the black dragon. It was missing a hind-leg.
"Wait. Which one is the black one?", asked Jack startled while the others armed themselves.
"Mh? Oh. That's Hiccup", replied Flynn absentmindedly.
Hiccup was missing a leg...? Jack hadn't noticed or known. He frowned, though he still participated in the attack on the royal family. He was a perfect marksman when it came to to throwing balls. He grinned a little as he he hit Hiccup on the head. The dragons started yelping and parting.
"Okay. Time to run", grunted Ron with a serious glare.
"Yeah. Don't wanna get burned", agreed his brother.
The two turned into large, intimidating brownish-red foxes and dashed off. Ruffnut and Tuffnut were cackling like hyenas, apparently not caring if the Alpha and his family found them.
"Look. I'll run now. You should come with me", suggested Flynn with a sly smirk.
"Yeah no. You can go ahead", grinned Jack amused. "I'll see you tomorrow, Fitzherbert."
Flynn made an undignified squeaking sound before he also ran away. Jack watched in awe as the dragons ascended over the edge of the cliff – oh, was that why the island was called Dragon's Edge? The mighty Alpha looked grumpy as he landed and his three children sat down with him, in a half-circle. Jack tilted his head as he stared at the three-legged dragon. He was gorgeous. The elegant, sleek body, the black shiny scales – now doted with pink – and yet the same intense emerald-green eyes of one Hiccup Haddock. The dragon tilted his head, mirroring Jack. His mighty leather-wings were spread out behind him and Jack couldn't help but approach carefully, lifting a hand up. Hiccup eagerly pushed forward into Jack's hand and Jack had to laugh a little because his snout was cold.
"Jackson", grunted the heavy voice of Berk's leader.
Jack jumped a little and turned to look sheepishly at Stoick. The sheepish look was replaced by genuine laughter as he saw that Stoick was now spotting a pink beard. That only made the Alpha glower even more. The other three dragons shifted back too – the metal-looking one shifted into Heather and the scorpion shifted into a crazy looking redheaded guy. They went to support Hiccup on either side as their brother shifted back too. And yes. Hiccup was missing a leg.
"I'm sure it was just a... joke, father", assured Hiccup.
"And I'm sure it wasn't even Jack's idea", added Heather helpfully. "This screams Flynn Rider."
"This screams twins", grunted the redhead.
"Dagur's not wrong", agreed Heather thoughtfully. "Most likely the combined force of tricksters."
Stoick heaved a sigh and shook his head. "I will go and take a shower. You will talk to the boy."
"Dagur, would you go with dad and get Hiccup's leg?", requested Heather gently.
Dagur looked like he wanted to protest, but in the end he nodded and obeyed his sister. Jack let himself fall down onto the ground, sitting crosslegged. Heather helped Hiccup down and joined them. Hiccup had yet to look away from Jack.
"Your dragon-forms look really cool", stated Jack with a small grin.
"Thanks", replied Hiccup, ducking his head modestly.
"We have yet to see your shifted form though", countered Heather teasingly.
"Heather", hissed Hiccup with a glare, elbowing his sister.
But Jack had no problem shifting. He had always been proud of his shift-form, maybe now even a little more because it was his last reminder of his father. Closing his eyes, he shifted.
"...Wow...", whispered Hiccup, voice hoarse and dry. "Y—You look... beautiful."
In front of him sat a white fox. Arctic fox. He was pure white and so fluffy. But his eyes were still the same piercing ice-blue crystals. Just as Jack had done before with Hiccup, it was now Hiccup's turn to reach a hand out for the fox. Jack sniffed his hand curiously and the next moment, the white fox jumped onto Hiccup's thigh, sniffing his leg. The one with the stump.
"Ah", chuckled Hiccup a little awkwardly. "I... Yeah, that happened when I first met Toothless. We were adventurous and careless and... Yeah. The rest is history."
Jack made a compassionate whining sound and Hiccup's face softened as he started to caress the surprisingly soft fur. "It's okay, Jack. It's been years. I got used to it. And rather a leg than my life."
The fox cuddled up more to Hiccup, in a comforting way, and it warmed Hiccup's heart. Oh, he was falling fast for the sweet, cheeky omega. And his fur was the softest thing Hiccup ever touched.
/break\
"I will start throwing fishes at him if he doesn't shut up", signed Toothless aggravated.
"Yeah", grunted Fishlegs with a nod and a small smile.
The two of them were sitting in Hiccup's bedroom and they were supposed to play video-games, but instead Hiccup kept pausing the game to gush about Jack Overland. It had reached borderline pathetic levels now that Hiccup was actually friends with Jack.
"Honestly, I've never been more relieved that I'm not part of your little group there", stated Fishlegs solemnly. "I'd rather hang out with Honeybunny and your older brother."
"...Every time you call Honey Lemon 'Honeybunny', I have the urge to puke", stated Hiccup seriously, giving his friend a pointed, flat look. "It's only worse when Heather does it."
Hiccup didn't really have a problem with the fact that his younger sister, his best friend and his older brother's best friend were in a poly-relationship. He did however have a problem with the double-dose of gushing about Honey Lemon. Heather really loved her two geeks and she got that soft, doe-eyed expression when either of them started geek-rambling. While the majority of Berk was just baffled that a bumbling, awkward, nerdy beta like Fishlegs had landed a beautiful, strong, fierce omega like Heather and a sweet, hyper-intelligent, beautiful alpha like Honey Lemon.
"Yeah, no. You don't get to complain. If I have to listen to you calling Jack 'Snowflake', with your voice dripping honey and adoration, then you will most definitely continue to listen to me gushing about my amazing girlfriends", stated Fishlegs with a pointed counter-expression.
"I'll be over here, starting a club for singles", sighed Toothless unimpressed.
"Snowflake, huh?"
The three boys – well, Fishlegs and Hiccup first and only at their jerky movements also Toothless – whirled around to face a very amused Heather. She was leaning against the door-frame with a smile.
"I—I can explain-", stuttered Hiccup, cheeks dark red.
"Brother, I love you, but you're horrible at hiding your feelings", chuckled Heather and entered the room and closed the door. "But if you want for our parents to continue believing in your little white-lie of having intentions to court Merida, you should maybe start closing your door. And if you don't want Jack to know just yet, you should maybe also consider closing your door while he's here."
"H—He's here?", asked Hiccup and was ready to jump up.
"Not for you", huffed Heather, eyes sparkling. "He's in Hiro's room, together with Jamie."
"Yeah, really, if you want your parents to still believe you're interested in Merida, you gotta learn to control your emotions", chuckled Fishlegs amused when Hiccup visibly deflated.
Heather grinned mischievously as she leaned in and kissed his cheek. "He's hopeless, I'm afraid."
/break\
Jack was spotting a mischievous grin as he laid sprawled out on Hiro's bed, head hanging over the edge upside-down to look at Hiro and Jamie. He was behind on a lot of his classes because the schedule on Dragon's Edge differed from where he was from. So he had decided to ask his underclassmen for a little help. More specifically, the combination of Hiro and Jamie. Because Jack wasn't blind. He had seen the way Hiro had been clearly territorial about Jamie when Jack had started to befriend him – and he had also seen the way Jamie had forgotten everything around him when Hiro had joined them on their pack-run. Those two were definitely interested in each other but too shy to act on it. So why shouldn't Jack help? Jamie was his new best friend and he was very attached to Hiro already. The boy was clever and excitable and also lonely and broken in his own way. The way he had talked about missing the parents he never got to know, then also being a male omega and on top of that, a genius among his peers... it did single him out. But Jack was glad Hiro had a loving family – in Stoick and Cass and Tadashi and Hiccup and Dagur and Heather.
"This is amazing, Hiro", whispered Jamie in awe.
Hiro was blushing a little as Jamie had his chin resting on Hiro's shoulder. The little genius was doodling away on the paper in front of him, had been doing so since Jamie had started summing up the latest chapter on their history book. Jack had just listened with half an ear, while Hiro was doodling robots and superheroes. It was an obsession of Hiro's and it was pretty cool.
"That's the coolest Iron Man I've ever seen", grinned Jack as he watched. "You like him?"
"Of course! Tony Stark is a genius. He's an inventor. He literally has a robot-suit. And he's a male omega. He's my total role-model", replied Hiro with a lopsided grin.
Jamie smiled sweetly as he watched Hiro, even though Hiro's focus was on Jack as he answered the white-haired boy. But Jack saw the sweet smile. Damn did Jamie adore Hiro. Jack grinned amused.
"Do you have the movie? I mean, the first one. We should totally watch it", declared Jack.
"Oh, I know what you're trying to do", grunted Jamie with a deadpan, making Jack freeze. "You're trying to get out of your tutoring session. But I will not let you off the hook that easily."
Jack laughed good-natured at that and for another half hour, he indulged Jamie. Jamie, who had no idea what Jack had really been trying to do. Not even when, half an hour later, Jack and Hiro were tucked under Jamie's arms, with their legs intertwined in the alpha's lap, all contently cuddled up to each other on the couch and watching the first Iron Man movie. The look on Hiro's flustered face was pure and utter happiness in a way that Jack was yearning for too.
"Iron Man? You're watching Iron Man without telling me? Scoot over, little brother!"
The next moment, they were all crammed together and suddenly Jacke was back-to-chest with Hiccup, with Toothless and Fishlegs also squeezing in on the couch, pushing them closer together.
Author's note: I know I said it before, but lemme say it again: This is a slow burn. This won't just feature HiJack's relationship, it's mainly Jack centered and I do plan on exploring his potential friendships in this universe and also the friendship-dynamics of the others. I do have plans on focusing some on Tadashi and his friends, more on Jamie and his friends and how Jack fits in there, all those things. But one thing at a time, I'm not gonna push 20 characters into one chapter and make them all interact with each other.
Next chapter will for now explore the dynamics of the Big Four, or rather the Big Six here considering Flynn and Moana are also on board (hah, literally, because we're going out to sea ;D), meaning Jack will investigate the Hiccup-Merida situation
