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 13: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
"And you'll be fine?", asked Cass concerned, cupping Hiro's face.
Hiro blushed, annoyed and embarrassed. Cupcake, Caleb and Claude were snickering behind him. "Yes, mom. I promise I'll be fine. Jack promised I'll be fine. Believe him?"
Cass heaved a sigh and locked eyes with Jack. "Jack's only two years older than you too."
"Cass. Let the boy go", laughed Stoick, resting a heavy hand on his wife's shoulder. "It's time he goes on adventures too. I trust Jack to keep an eye on our boy."
"Will do, Alpha", promised Jack with a smile. "Now come and let's go before Mo leaves us."
The Haddock-Hamadas waved as Jack and Hiro hurried onto Moana's ship. She had agreed to take their group to the island three islands over. Moana grinned and waved them over.
"I can't believe we're doing this!", exclaimed Monty excitedly. "I have read all the notes Hiccup made on that island and the dragons on it. This will be so exciting!"
"I know!", agreed Jamie with a broad grin, showing off his own text-book of dragons.
"Those two are the future Hiccup and Fishlegs", drawled Moana playfully.
"Yeah. I can see that", grinned Jack amused. "Thanks for doing this, Mo."
"Oh, no problems. I got nothing else to do. Bring you over, pick you up on Sunday", shrugged Moana with a smile. "I'm just glad you're leaving the house for something else than training again. It's... been a while for you. Started to get worried."
Jack rolled his eyes and nudged her, though he smiled a little. He was grateful to have her care for him like that. Honestly, he really never had a friend like Moana before and he was incredibly grateful. Turning around, Jack watched the others. Caleb and Claude were up on the crow's nest, while Jamie and Monty sat together and talked about all the things they wanted to explore. Cupcake stood behind the two boys, complaining that she wanted more than just science stuff. Which, of course, there would be a lot of fun – Jack was going to make sure of that. Hiro sat with Pippa, talking softly about a movie that was soon to hit theaters and that both couldn't wait to see. Jack was pretty optimistic that the weekend was going to be awesome.

"This is nice. We haven't done this in a while", stated Astrid with a grin.
"Yeah. Hics is so busy pining for Jack that he has no time for anyone anymore", agreed Fishlegs.
Fishlegs, Astrid, Hiccup and their friend Mala sat on the bleachers, watching the cheerleaders and the football team train. They used to do this every Friday night together, gossiping and just connecting. After all, there wasn't a lot going on on this island so they had to work with what they had. Seeing the jocks postering for the cheerleaders and the cheerleaders show them who was more serious, it was always entertaining. Atalia, the captain of the cheerleaders – the Wing Maidens, as they called themselves – always asked too much of her girls and they always delivered. Heather was on the cheerleading team and that alone was reason enough for Fishlegs to be here, to stare dreamily at his girlfriend and cheer her own. Same went for Astrid, because her boyfriend Eret was on the football team. While Astrid could probably kick everybody's butt down there, she had never been too interested in football so she left it to him. Snotlout and Dagur were also on the football team. Part of the entertainment for Astrid was to see Snotlout fall on his ass every time he was distracted by his girlfriend Minden, one of the Wing Maidens. Even after all these years, making fun of Snotlout was something that would just never grow old for Astrid, really.
"Why is it that you haven't joined us lately, Hiccup?", asked Mala curiously.
Mala was older than them, a senior and she was Dagur's fiance. Hiccup liked her a lot. He had actually befriended her first – when Mala and Dagur had first met, they had been at odds, to put it mildly. It had been the combined efforts of Hiccup, Fishlegs, Heather and their friends to make Dagur and Mala get along. And when they did, they really did. They might just be the sappiest, cutest couple in all of Berk, really. The petnames, the holdings hands and nose-kisses and missing each other as soon as they didn't share a single class. Literally no one had been surprised when, after a year of dating, Dagur had proposed to Mala and the two started to plan their big wedding as soon as they graduated high school. Mala was an alpha herself, a strong-willed fighter and one with true leadership qualities. Stoick had been more than pleased with this match for his second oldest.
Sometimes, Hiccup wished all his siblings were his biological siblings. Tadashi the beta with his beta girlfriend GoGo. Dagur the alpha with his alpha fiance Mala. They were both older than him and they had both met good choices. Hiccup however, he was the only one carrying the blood of the Haddocks. He was the one who would have to become Alpha, who had to make the best choice.
"Hiccup has a giant crush on Jack Overland", supplied Astrid casually as Mala sat down.
"Oh. The pretty young omega?", asked Mala surprised, looking at Hiccup. "I heard from Dagur that you and Merida broke it off, but I didn't expect you to move on so quickly."
"Really? Dagur knows?", asked Hiccup frustrated. "We've been doing it low-key..."
"Well. You do know your brother is overly invested in your love-life", shrugged Astrid.
"That's true", agreed Fishlegs. "And you two are really bad at being low-key."
"That is also true", confirmed Mala amused. "You should consider telling your father about it, if more and more people know about it. You wouldn't want to overwhelm him too much by waiting too long, do you? Your father is a wise man and good leader. He'll understand."
"This is different though", sighed Hiccup nervously. "I mean... what if... This is about the future of our pack. What if I make the wrong decision, in his eyes...?"
"This isn't about the pack though", argued Mala, one eyebrow cocked. "It's about love."
"Oh please, don't get sappy on us", groaned Astrid.
"Thank you", huffed Mala, torn between offended and amused. "No, I'm not talking about me and Dagur. I'm actually talking about Stoick and Cass." There was a pause and Fishlegs, Astrid and Hiccup all looked at her expectantly. "Stoick made a political decision when he married your mother, Hiccup. He learned to love her, but then he lost her. And then he found love again, even though I highly doubt he thought he ever would find another mate again. Your father knows love and he knows the importance of love. If what you feel for Jack is true, then your father will understand, Hiccup. You have to trust him on that."
Hiccup sighed softly, looking at her. "You know, I'm really glad you'll be my sister-in-law."
Mala laughed at that and bumped shoulders with him. "So am I."
"Now, can we continue talking about how absolutely amazing my girlfriend is?", asked Fishlegs.
"Oh, she really is", agreed Astrid, watching Heather make a back-flip. "They're so gonna win that competition next month, aren't they? It's amazing what they can do."
"Football team's not doing too shabby either though", noted Hiccup, looking at Eret and Dagur making a perfect play to get a point. "They've been training real hard."
"They have", sighed Astrid and Mala, somewhere between proud and frustrated.
Both Eret and Dagur had canceled a lot of dates for the sake of longer and extra training. At least it seemingly was paying off. Hiccup felt himself growing excited at the prospect of the game. Those were some of the only occasions that something interesting did happen on Berk. Other teams, from other islands and from the coast, coming over for games. Or them going out for an away game.
"If you were so preoccupied with Jack, how come you're here now?", asked Mala after a beat.
"Jack's away for the weekend", sighed Hiccup with a small pout.

They had made camp – four double-tents set in a square around their camp-fire. Caleb and Claude were sharing a tent, so were Cupcake and Pippa, as well as Jamie and Monty – and Jack got to share with Hiro. The eight of them perfectly paired off for this. The twins had gone fishing for dinner earlier. While the group had brought a pot and a pan and some spices, they had plans on hunting and fishing for their food this weekend. A nice, wild weekend. Jack really enjoyed those trips with Rapunzel, Flynn, Merida, Moana and Hiccup, he wanted for his other friends to enjoy this kind of bonding trip too. He knew they were itching to go out there and explore just as much.
"Story time", declared Monty excitedly as they all sat in a circle around the fire.
"And what about?", asked Jack amused, munching on his fish.
"Horror stories? I don't know", shrugged Monty thoughtfully. "Never done this before."
"The greatest horror story I know already happened last week", drawled Caleb.
"History exam with Mister Pitchiner", concluded Claude, fist-bumping his brother.
Everyone at the camp-side shuddered at that, only Jack laughed loudly. Apparently, Pitch was the teacher who always managed to drag his favorite thing – the Dark Ages – into whatever he was talking about. Noticing that Hiro next to him was shuddering a little, Jack wanted to grab his hoodie and pull it off to hand it over, but before he even had a chance to, Jamie had already shed his own jacket and placed it on Hiro's shoulders with a flush. Hiro's face was spotting a matching blush.
"T—Thanks, Jamie", said Hiro with a small smile, burying himself in the jacket.
"No problem. It's... colder than anticipated, huh", grinned Jamie.
Jack grinned amused. Those two were absolutely adorable. Maybe that was the other reason why Jack had suggested this little trip. Jamie and Hiro sure could use the push.
"So... is it true that you guys weren't friends before I came around?", asked Jack carefully.
"We tried", offered Pippa, motioning vaguely at Hiro.
"He's always been more clever than anyone else in any class", shrugged Caleb with a frown.
"...Many made fun of me for being a wise-ass. And I was used to that from San Fransokyo", admitted Hiro, pulling his legs up against his chest. "I always just... followed Tadashi around. And preferred to be with his friends, instead of... trying to befriend classmates or anything."
"But you've been living here for... eight years, right?", asked Jack with a frown. "Eight years and you... never made friends? You never had any friends...?"
"I do have friends", huffed Hiro with a glare. "...They're just... Tadashi's friends first. But yeah, over the years, I always just... went along to the shop with them and I befriended Honey and GoGo and Wasabi and Fred. They speak my language. Science."
"So... you really never had friends your own age before?", asked Cupcake with a frown.
"I do!", protested Hiro with a glare. "My best friend is our age!"
"Oh. You... could have invited them along", offered Jamie curiously. "I'd like to meet them. You don't always have to tag along with us alone. You could have-"
"He lives in Mexico", grumbled Hiro, glare intensifying. "His name's Miguel and he's Honey's younger cousin. Couple years ago, Honey's parents invited her whole family over to get to know Berk and I met Miguel that day. We hit it off and we've been online friends since then."
"Well, I mean, long-distance is better than nothing?", offered Monty, straightening his glasses.
Hiro grumbled and folded in on himself, at least until Jamie placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It's okay. You... made friends now. And we are your friends."
He smiled at Hiro and Hiro looked at the young alpha with large eyes and red cheeks. Jack grinned pleased before stretching and yawning. It was getting pretty late and it's been long dark.
"Time for bed", announced Jack, ruffling his hair.
"Ye—eah. I wanted to see the sunrise tomorrow. Better turn in too", agreed Pippa.
Slowly, one by one, the group split up and went ahead to their respective tents. Jack and Hiro got changed and crawled into their sleeping bags, though amusingly enough Hiro bundled Jamie's jacket up and used it as a pillow, burying his nose in it with a small smile.
"So... you and Jamie...", drawled Jack with a cheeky grin, one arm folded under his head as he was turned onto his side to look at Hiro, who immediately blushed again.
"So... you and my brother", countered Hiro after a moment, glaring.
Jack flushed to match Hiro, blinking surprised. It made Hiro laugh delighted and scoot closer.
"W—What do you mean?", asked Jack with a frown.
"After all those years, Hics and Merry finally stop pretending to be in a relationship, now that you come to town and start spending so much time with Hiccup", pointed Hiro out, both eyebrows raised and a shit-eating grin on his face. "Come o—on. I know you have something to do with it."
"No. Well, yes, but not like that", assured Jack, laughing amused – for a moment there, he had thought that Hiro knew something Jack didn't. "Merida is in love with Moana. And because Mo has been spending so much time with me, Merida got jealous. So, Merida and Hiccup broke it off."
"And Hics spending so much time with you...?", frowned Hiro suspiciously.
Licking his lips slowly, Jack lifted a hand and let snowflakes dance around it. "I have... powers. And he... knows about them. He helped me."
"Wait. That day, on the lake, when Hiccup broken in", whispered Hiro in disbelief, eyes wide.
Jack shrugged and tucked his hand back under his head. "Yeah. That's how he learned. And... Yeah. There's other stuff, about my powers, but I wanted to tell you all tomorrow."
"Oh. So that's why we're on this trip? Because you wanted to tell us about your powers?", concluded Hiro, staring at Jack. "Because you're... nervous about it?"
"I have... not made good experiences with that kinda thing", shrugged Jack.
Next moment and Hiro was crawling out of his own sleeping back and into Jack's, hugging him tightly and scent-marking him. The younger omega had a very soothing effect on Jack. Pure instincts, but also something else. Something about Hiro reminded him so much of Mary. A younger sibling, to love and protect. Smiling softly, Jack wrapped his arms around Hiro.
"It'll be fine", hummed Hiro softly. "If they accepted me, the biggest nerd and weirdo, they'll accept you for being an elemental, Jack."
"...Thanks", whispered Jack back, still smiling.
They fell asleep like that, wrapped up in each other's arms, soothing each other.

Saturday family dinner was a little quieter with Hiro gone. Heather was animatedly talking about her upcoming competition and whenever Dagur got to put a word in, he mentioned the next game. Tadashi just smiled proudly at both his siblings and kept encouraging them. Hiccup kept particularly quiet, just watching his siblings interact, Cass and Stoick asking questions and praising whenever Dagur and Heather paused long enough for input.
"Hiccup, you're... awfully quiet", observed Tadashi once both his other siblings were done.
"That's true", grunted Stoick with a frown. "What's wrong, son?"
"I...", started Hiccup – and heck, Mala was right, if he delayed this any further then things would only get more and more awkward. "Merida and I broke things off."
"You... what?", asked Cass surprised, blinking slowly.
"I don't understand", admitted Stoick, looking from Hiccup to Cass.
"I... We've been drifting apart a lot over the past... year or two", sighed Hiccup and straightened his back. "When we agreed to court, we thought... we could work. But that was before we even properly presented. And... I don't know. Hormones and being teenagers and developing taste. I love her, I do, but not in a romantic way. We're good friends, but... not in love. And we tried. Tried to see each other like that, but... we just don't and... and there's... There is no point in us trying to force feelings where there will never be any feelings. So we broke it off, while we're still in high school and could still find... actually suitable... mates."
There was a long stretch of silence and Tadashi, Dagur and Heather shuffled around awkwardly. Cass and Stoick exchanged a lot of looks and facial expressions that most likely translated to a whole conversation. Hiccup sank lower and lower on his chair.
"Okay", nodded Stoick after a long moment.
"Okay?", echoed Hiccup surprised, blinking a couple of times.
"Well, son, I had always hoped you and Merida would make a perfect match. If that is not the case, I trust your judgment to find a suitable mate", replied Stoick, covering Cass' hand with his own. "We Haddock men have impeccable taste, so I will trust your taste."
Hiccup blinked slowly. Well, that had been far easier than anticipated.
/break\
Jack grinned pleased as he stretched out. They were all laying on blankets, gazing at the stars. They had spent all day swimming and trying to hunt down dragons for Monty and Jamie to study, so everyone was understandably exhausted and ready to rest.
"There...", started Jack unsure, reaching out for Hiro's hand. "There's something I wanted to show you guys, you know. I, uh... I have powers. Control over... ice. And snow."
While Hiro squeezed his hand, Jack used his free hand to make it snow. The others gasped in awe. Jamie stuck his tongue out, catching a snowflake on his tongue. Caleb and Claude eagerly sat up to gather the falling snow in balls and then throw them at each other.
"Snowball fight!", exclaimed Pippa excitedly, as all of them jumped up.
Jack blinked slowly and then he cracked a smile as Jamie accidentally hit Cupcake on the back of her head and then there was an all-out snowball brawl going on. How... did this place happen? No. No, slowly Jack started to wonder – how did his home happen? With every single person who just embraced him and accepted him, he started to believe that maybe being accepted was... actually the norm and maybe being shunned for his powers was not.
"Ja—ack!", called Jamie out with laughter. "Come on. Join us."
Gathering snow with both hands, he breathed onto it to stabilize it and then he threw it – hitting Jamie square in the face. The boy started laughing and the chase continued for an entire out. Jack used his powers to create an ice-slid, making them all slide down with roaring laughter. By the end of it, they were all exhausted, panting and with red cheeks as they landed in a heap of people.
"This was awesome!", exclaimed Pippa excitedly.
"Yeah! Why didn't you tell us sooner?", wanted Monty to know curiously.
"...Where... I'm from...", started Jack. "They believed powers to be a curse. I've always been shunned for them. That's... my reason for not trying to make friends when I first came here, because I was prepared for... for everyone to learn about my powers and then... drop me."
"Oh. Oh, that's awful", stated Jamie with a frown and came to hug Jack. "No. No, definitely not. You're awesome and our friend and your powers are really cool."
"Agreed to everything but the pun", grunted Cupcake, ruffling Jack's hair.
"So, can you like... freeze the ocean?", asked Caleb after a beat. "Can we do that tomorrow?"
"I... never tried it. But I could probably freeze... a path into it", frowned Jack thoughtfully.
"Awesome!", exclaimed Claude with a grin. "This is really insane, Jack."
"It is", agreed Monty, smiling at Jack. "How about we turn in for the night?"
"Yeah, time for Snow White here to go to bed", teased Hiro, nudging Jack.
"What does that make you guys? The seven dwarves?", countered Jack, making the others laugh.
