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 12: Leap

Training under Gothi with Moana and Rapunzel was amazing. It really helped Jack regain his confidence and even his fondness for his powers. He remembered how much he had loved it, loved playing with his powers with his dad. How Mary used to jump around him excitedly.

"You two are ridiculous!", exclaimed Rapunzel and laughed delighted.

They were ice-skating, kind of. Moana had elevated the water from the pond and spread it out into a nearly bowl-like shape, trice the size of the actual pond. And Jack had frozen it in place. So right now, the three of them were chasing each other on skates, Jack clearly in the lead.

"This is amazing", declared Moana with a grin.

Jack flicked his wrist and the next moment, soft snow was coming down on them. Rapunzel's laughter increased as she started chasing the snow. Jack didn't remember ever having this much fun. He started to truly love this town, this island. He finally had a home. A pack and a place that made him feel belonged, instead of like an outsider. All three of them were panting as they ended their little chase and came to collapse on the ground next to the pond, with their arms and legs spread out wide. Jack smiled as he turned to look at Rapunzel and Moana. At his friends.

"So, have you... told anyone else about your powers yet?", asked Moana curiously.

"I'm pretty sure Nick and Toothiana already know", whispered Jack. "But... no."

"You should. I mean. At least your friends", offered Rapunzel with a frown.

"You just don't wanna keep lying to Flynn", teased Moana knowingly.

"Well, yes, that too", agreed Rapunzel flustered. "But also Toothless and Merida. It's... I don't like lying to them. And I know they'll understand. And you have to start trusting people, Jack."

Jack just hummed in acknowledgment, not commenting any further. He knew they were probably right and that he needed to trust the pack, if he truly wanted to be a part of it. Which he did. He had come to terms with being here, living here, and he wanted it all. Wanted to be part of the pack.

"Yer a bloody pain in my rear, but damn yer talented, Frostbite."

Jack grinned, not looking at his teacher. Mister Bunnymund and Jack had a bit of a rocky relationship – granted, it hadn't quite helped that Jack had allowed himself to be dragged into a prank on Mister Bunnymund by the two sets of twins and Flynn. Aster took that very personal. Still, Jack was not kicked out of the art club, so small blessings. And despite the personal feelings between them, Aster always graded him fair and even complimented his art.

"You really are very talented, Frost", agreed Toothless with a grin.

Toothless was... less talented when it came to art, but he had fun with it and that was the most important thing about it, wasn't it? Jack grinned at his friend. Toothless had been very helpful and supportive. A good friend. And he was Hiccup's best friend. Glancing past Toothless, Jack watched Hiccup. The alpha was fully concentrated on his own canvas and the painting he was working on. It was stupid that Jack's heart did this thing where it'd skip a beat just because of that. Sure, the painting was beautiful – a sunset and two black dragons flying into it – and Hiccup was handsome when he was being so concentrated and the reddish colors of the paint reflected some onto Hiccup, making him look softer. Urgh. Jack had such a stupid crush on Hiccup by now.

"We're going to Rapunzel's on Saturday. Do you wanna come?", asked Jack.

"...Sure", confirmed Toothless, tilting his head curiously.

He knew very well that the others were hiding something. That occasionally, Hiccup would go with them, but it was mainly Rapunzel, Moana and Jack. He figured it had something to do with the secret that Hiccup had hinted at, the one where Jack had relied on Hiccup for support. Whatever it was, Toothless was more than curious and eager to learn it. Toothless was acutely aware just how important Jack was to Hiccup, so Toothless wanted to be someone Jack trusted.

/break\

Moana looked around curiously as they met up that Saturday. It wasn't just the three of them; Hiccup, Merida, Toothless and Flynn were there too. All invited by Jack. Jack, who was perched up on the table, looking rigid and nervous. Smiling encouragingly at her friend, Moana rested a hand on his thigh. He turned to her in surprise, slowly relaxing at her support.

"So... something tells me we're not just hanging out", joked Flynn, looking at Rapunzel. "What's this really about? You guys been hiding something...?"

"I...", started Jack and took a deep breath.

He was trying to tell himself that it would be okay, that they were his friends and that they would accept him, just like Moana, Rapunzel and Hiccup had accepted him. He tilted his head and turned to look at Hiccup, who had come up on his other side and taken his hand. Hiccup's hand was large and warm and heavy in his. He traced the callouses curiously, years of metal-work having left their marks on Hiccup's hands. They felt curious and Jack couldn't help but wonder what that touch would feel like on different parts of his body. Eyes widening at that, he shook the thought off.

"I have powers", blurted Jack out, mainly to distract himself from his own traitorous thoughts.

"Already suspected something like this for weeks", nodded Flynn. "What kind of powers?"

Licking his lips, Jack lifted a hand and summoned snow until he held a snow-ball. Flynn made the most adorable squeaky sound at that and reached out for the snow in excitement.

"This will be so good for so many pranks", declared Flynn.

"It's pretty", signed Toothless with a reassuring smile. "Quite the... cool power."

"Bad pun, buddy. Really awful pun", snorted Hiccup and rolled his eyes.

"It's neat", shrugged Merida, looking from Jack to Moana. "So that's why you've been spending so much time together. Training. Using your powers. Yeah?"

Moana nodded, a small smile on her lips when she saw how Merida realized that her jealousy had been unfunded, that it had never been about Moana and Jack being alpha and omega, but about them being elementals. Merida huffed and relaxed some, grabbing an apple from the bowl on the table while everyone got more comfortable. They settled in to listen to Jack's story and as weary as Jack was about sharing this, he knew it should be all out in the open. So he launched into another retelling of how his parents died and how he used to be treated for his powers.

By the end of it, he was pretty exhausted and emotionally drained, which wasn't much of a surprise.

"No training today, mh?", guessed Moana, gently brushing Jack's hair out of his face.

"I just wanna curl together", admitted Jack softly, feeling raw and vulnerable.

"Then that is precisely what we're gonna do!", declared Rapunzel in a pepper way.

She led the way over to the living room and started to throw all the blankets and pillows onto a heap in the center of the room. Catching on with what she was doing, Flynn gladly helped his girlfriend. When they were done, there was a comfortable, large space for cuddles left in the living room. Rapunzel let herself fall down on it and Merida was the first to join her. The two omegas beckoned Jack over to join them, which he reluctantly did. Omega-cuddles were nice, but he wasn't fully used to them just yet. Hiccup, Flynn, Toothless and Moana curled around them in a protective alpha-circle, quietly promising protection to the three omegas in the middle. Sighing contently, Jack buried his nose in the golden hair of Rapunzel, smelling the flowers in it. He startled a little when Merida pressed her own face between Jack's shoulder-blades, cuddling up to him.

"Sorry", whispered Merida so softly that only Jack could hear it. "I was pushing you away because I was being jealous of how easily you connected with Mo..."

Jack turned around to face her, leaning in to whisper back so only Merida could hear. "It's alright. I get it. You were jealous because the alpha you liked was spending time with another unmated omega. It's... normal I guess. I'm not mad about it."

"I—I...", started Merida to protest.

"You and Hiccup", drawled Jack, voice dropping even more. "You never were a couple to begin with, right? I'm right with that. It's been a scheme for your parents all along."

Merida glared and didn't answer. The grin on Jack's lips was rather smug. But it all made sense now. Jack had been wrecking his brains since Moana had dropped by and told him that Merida wanted to go on a date with her. Only then did it all slowly start to make sense, to fit together. And this was the best solution he could think of. The thing that made sense. It had all been a play, from the get-go. That was why Merida and Hiccup didn't smell a lot like each other, didn't touch a lot or share a lot of PDA. They weren't a couple. They were just friends, playing their parts.

"Fine, yes, you're right", grumbled Merida irritated. "No one's supposed to know."

"Your secret is safe", assured Jack, brushing his head against hers.

"So is yours", countered Merida with a small smile.

Jack made a drawn-out sound close to a high-pitched howl as he leaped over fallen trees and rocks. He was chasing after Hiro, knowing Flynn hot on their tails. The other foxes – Ron and Jon Stabbington, as well as Tadashi – and the hounds, Jamie and Sophie, as well as some of the local wolves – GoGo, Pippa and Mary. Mary and Sophie were playing a game of tag of their own, while Jack was playing with Hiro, Jamie and Flynn. Ron and Jon constantly distracted Flynn, falling into a hunt of their own, while Tadashi and GoGo were on more of a couple-y chase.

The wild run was liberating. It was good. Having someone to actually run with, not just his parents and sister, but a proper pack. It was so freeing. He yelped as he was tackled from behind by Jamie. The two of them rolled around until Jamie had him pinned to the ground, sniffing him curiously for a long moment before jumping off and instead going after Hiro. Tilting his head, Jack rolled back onto his back, ears flat against his head and fur on his tail standing up some.

It was Tadashi, surprisingly enough, who stopped atop of him and licked his head briefly. The tall, red fox smiled and urged Jack on to continue their little chase.

Afterward, the group split up and parted ways. Ron and Jon left together with Flynn, Jamie and Sophie made their way home together with Pippa and Mary, who had asked beforehand if she could go and hang out with Sophie some more. Jack tilted his head, looking over at Tadashi and Hiro.

"You coming?", asked Tadashi with a friendly smile.

"Uhm...", drawled Jack unsure, shrugging carefully.

"Come on!", urged Hiro on, grabbing Jack's hand and pulling him along. "Mom always makes us amazing cake for after a pack-run. You gotta try it."

"You sure she wouldn't mind?", asked Jack, allowing the younger omega to pull him along.

"Why would she? You're attending her baking classes now. She totally adores you", rambled Hiro as they made their way toward the Lucky Cat Café. "You're her favorite student."

"I... am?", questioned Jack surprised.

"Yeah. You bake the prettiest cakes, she says", chuckled Tadashi amused. "Which seems pretty accurate. I saw the blue one, with the frost-patterns. Your cake-design is impressive."

"He's a real artist", grinned Hiro.

Jack blushed proudly, preening a little at the compliment. He was rather proud of his cakes – and they were actually a lot of fun to make. Signing up for Cass' baking classes had definitely been a good choice. He also liked Cass, the woman was amazing and very kind.

"Oh, you brought him. Good boys", praised Cass pleased as the three boys entered the house.

The rest of the Hamada-Haddock family was already gathered. Stoick sat at the head of the table, with Cass next to him. Heather, Dagur and Hiccup were sitting on one length of the table. Tadashi sat down opposite Dagur, with Hiro next to him and opposite Heather. That only left one empty seat. The one opposite Hiccup. Jack didn't even understand why, but he blushed a little as he took his seat. Something about eating with Hiccup's family – without any of their other friends – felt awfully intimate. He knew what it was, but it was nonsense. It wasn't like he was being courted, like he was Hiccup's boyfriend or anything. He was just a friend, visiting another friend.

"Jack!", exclaimed Stoick with the jolly enthusiasm of an Alpha greeting a young member of his pack. "I'm glad you could make it. My mate makes the meanest chocolate cake."

"I... Thank you for inviting me", nodded Jack with a small smile.

"You can definitely use a few more pounds", stated Stoick.

"Father!", exclaimed Hiccup and Hiro at once.

"It's okay", laughed Jack. "I know I'm skinny. Guess it's the genes? I used to eat so much junk-food with dad all the time, but never really gained any weight..."

"Mh", grunted Stoick and nodded. "Well, strong genes are a good thing, I suppose."

"So... you just invited me to fatten me up?", joked Jack.

"No. I invited you to thank you", stated Stoick rather seriously.

"...Me? What for?", asked Jack surprised, while Heather started serving the cake.

"Hiro is a stubborn young man – don't protest – and he has never really made a lot of friends", sighed Stoick, slowly running his fingers through his beard. "He always just sticks with his siblings. But since you came around, he started being more social, instead of just holing up with his inventions. He never made an omega friend before and since meeting you, he has been spending more time with the Bennett boy and his group."

Hiro blushed at the mention of Jamie, hiding his face by eating more chocolate cake. Jack blinked slowly and looked at Hiro curiously. Okay, so he had known that his friendship was important to Hiro, that Hiro had never met another male omega before, but that Hiro really hadn't had friends...? From what Jack had seen, it seemed as though Hiro had been cherished and welcomed by Jamie's little pack for a while now. Or was it just that they all knew Jamie had a weakness for Hiro? Huh.

"Hiro is great", grinned Jack and ruffled the younger omega's hair. "I... I never really had another omega to be friends with at all, much less a male omega to bond with."

"No omegas at all?", asked Cass appalled. "How small was your old pack?"

"Oh, it... it wasn't that small. The female omegas just didn't like me. Didn't like a male omega", shrugged Jack, turning his attention to his food. "I... was always kind of an outcast."

Stoick and Cass exchanged a concerned look at that, but in the end, it was Dagur who spoke up. "I get that. Believe me. Before my sis and I came here, were adopted, I've been the odd one out too."

"I hope things are different for you here", offered Tadashi gently.

"Oh yeah, they are", confirmed Jack, nodding slowly. "It... Everyone is very welcoming. I never... had that many friends, not even before presenting. Your sons especially... Hiro and Hiccup have been really helpful and nice to me, showing me around and introducing me to everyone."

Hiccup preened at that. He loved that he had indeed been able to help Jack. It was also very nice to hear Stoick appreciating Jack. That was good. Stoick was not easily impressed – and Hiccup's future mate had to impress Stoick. That was a must-happen.

"This is really great, Cass", commented Jack as he stuffed his face.

"We'll cover this one this week", grinned Cass. "You're a quick study, by the end you'll be able to make this cake just as well as I do and you'll probably make it prettier."

There was a teasing twinkle in Cass' eyes, one that made Jack grin back. It was Heather who sighed.

"Jack's cakes are really pretty", agreed Heather and got her phone out to show their father some pictures of what Jack had made during classes. "See? He's a real artist with the cakes."

"Not just with cakes", pointed Hiccup out.

"That's right. The pretty art in the café", nodded Stoick. "You helped Rapunzel and Hiccup with it."

"It was fun", shrugged Jack with a grin.

Hiccup smiled as he watched. Everyone seemed to really take to Jack, which was all Hiccup had wanted. After the cake was all gone, Hiccup actually gathered the courage to ask Jack if he wanted to watch a movie before going home. Obviously did all of his siblings decide to tag along too at that. But thankfully enough did Hiccup at the very least get the seat right next to Jack. Heather sat down on Hiccup's other side, while Hiro curled against Jack's free side. With four people, the couch was pretty crowded, leaving Jack pressed up against him. Tadashi and Dagur took the single seats respectively. And as Hiro pressed play on Legend of the Guardians, Hiccup found himself acutely aware of Jack's presence. His warmth, his scent. So close.

"Those owls are awesome", hummed Jack sleepily. "And gorgeous..."

He was leaning more and more into Hiccup, the longer the movie continued. Hiro was half sprawled out on top of Jack, using him as a pillow, just like Jack was using Hiccup as a pillow. The foxes were tired after today's pack-run – which was why they had eaten heavy food to begin with; it was the best thing after a pack-flight or a pack-run. And then, just lazying about or napping. Just that Hiccup hadn't expected to end up as Jack's pillow. Carefully did Hiccup lower his own head, burying his nose in the snow-white, soft hair. He inhaled deeply. The scent of snow and marshmallows was so fresh and sweet and nice. Smiling to himself, Hiccup wrapped one arm around Jack, pulling him closer. The omega hummed contently and curled against him even more.

"Your family is great", whispered Jack into Hiccup's ear.

"Yeah, they are", confirmed Hiccup fondly.

He turned to look at Tadashi gratefully. His big brother was pretty amazing. It had been his idea to suggest to Stoick that Jack could come home with them after the pack-run. Stoick had liked the idea, having heard so much about Jack from Cass, Hiccup and Hiro at that point. And apparently did Stoick approve of Jack. Which was not the easiest task at hand.

"I like the baking classes", mused Jack absentmindedly. "Cass is a great teacher. And Nick has been really enjoying all the baked goods I bring home now. Which... Toothiana is not the biggest fan of, but Nick and Mary have totally outvoted her on that."

Hiccup laughed at that. It figured that the local dentist was not a fan of all the sweet goods. But Nick had always been a sweet-tooth. Hiccup sighed and rested his cheek against Jack's hair. It was soft and comfortable. Jack's head fit perfectly under his own. Jack fit perfectly against his side.

"Hiro", hummed Jack, turning to the younger omega in his arms.

"Mh...?", yawned Hiro, as exhausted from the pack-run.

"I was thinking that maybe, this weekend, we could... go on a camping trip. Caleb and Claude have been arguing about doing something more fun for a while now and I figured, I mean, we could... all go on a camping trip together? You, me, Jamie, Cupcake, Pippa, Monty, Caleb and Claude? On one of the small islands? I've been to a few with Hiccup and the others now and some seem like fun to explore further. Together. Hunting together and all. What do you think?"

Hiro blinked doe-eyed up at Jack, trying to process. What his dad had said earlier was true. Hiro was really not used to spending a lot of time with friends. And that he now befriended Jamie Bennett of all people and his pack... That he had befriended Jack. But the thought of going on a camping trip with them? Bonfires and swimming and all. It was late spring by now and temperatures were warm enough to actually swim. To maybe see Jamie shirtless. Hiro blushed.

"That's an awesome idea", agreed Hiro eagerly. "And you'll really come too?"

"Yep", confirmed Jack with a broad grin.

Author's note: Next chapter, Jack is going to tell Hiro, Jamie and their friends the truth. And our dear Hiccup has to face a certain other truth in the face of his father~
