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 15: Once Upon a Forest
Moana was curious as she followed a nervous Jack up to his room. After school, Jack had asked her to come home with him because he really needed her help. She'd been trying to figure out with what he might need her help, but damn it looked serious. She hadn't seen Jack this nervous in a while. Was something up with his powers? Had he been losing control or something...?
"Moana! You are frequent guest at our house by now!", declared Nick pleased, hugging her.
"What can I say, you make the best cookies", grinned Moana, returning the hug.
"I like the girl", laughed Nick. "You kids go ahead, dinner will be another hour."
"We're not staying for dinner, uncle Nick", announced Jack. "Come, Mo."
Moana raised her eyebrows, exchanging a shrug with Nick before following Jack upstairs. What was the white-haired omega up to...? When she snuck into Jack's room, she was surprised by the mess. It looked like Jack's closet had vomited all over the floor. Jack heaved a deep sigh and collapsed on his bed with his arms spread while Moana closed the door.
"So, what's up, Frosty?", asked Moana curiously, walking up to him.
"I need help and I don't know who else to ask and you're like my best friend but you have to promise not to tell anyone, okay?", blurted Jack out, sitting up.
"You got my undivided attention, boy", stated Moana, sitting down next to Jack. "Shoot."
"I have a date and I don't know what to wear or what to do", sighed Jack. "What... What does one do on a date? I mean, how's it like any different from just hanging out with a friend? It never looks different in the movies or shows. So how do you make it... different? And what do I wear? I can't just wear what I always wear – ratty hoodie and all. It should be special, right? But not too special... I... I don't want to seem desperate or pushy, or like I'm trying too hard... See. This is my problem. I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm totally out of my element here."
"A date?", echoed Moana, both eyebrows raised high in surprise. "Oh, oh no, you did not agree to go on a date with either Stabbington, did you? Because I tell you, there is a long list of people who would deserve you more than them. List including, but not limited to-"
"Hiccup", interrupted Jack tensely.
"Well, yeah. Definitely including him", agreed Moana with a short nod.
"No. No. The one I'm going on a date with. It... It's Hiccup", sighed Jack.
"...Say that again, boy", requested Moana, blinking slowly.
"Hiccup. I am going on a date with Hiccup. Tonight", replied Jack. "We... uh... The other day, he was over and he confessed really awkwardly and cutely that he likes me and that he'd be an idiot if he'd miss out on this opportunity and wait until I'm like... in a relationship or something. And tonight, we're going on our first date."
Jack huffed breathlessly as Moana knocked him over with the force of her hug, squeaking as she squeezed the air out of him. "I can't believe you got your man. I'm so happy for you."
"I—I didn't get anything and he's not my man. We're just going on a date", muttered Jack.
He was blushing brightly and the blush darkened when Moana gave him a pointed look. "Sure thing. Now, let's figure out what you can wear on that first date of yours, mh?"
"Thanks, Mo", smiled Jack, relaxing some. "You're the best."
/break\
Hiccup was staring with his mouth open and unblinking eyes. If he'd blink, he would miss something. And he definitely could not. Jack was... Jack was... absolutely breathtaking.
The white-haired omega was wearing a dark-blue hoodie. But instead of the silver frost-patterns that his regular hoodie had, this one had white, fluffy fur lining the hood and sleeves, the hoodie's blue a darker tone than the one Jack usually wore. The leather-pants Jack was wearing were white, not brown like Jack usually preferred. He looked insanely beautiful.
"Hiccup?", asked Jack with a frown, waving a hand in front of Hiccup's face. "You ready to go, or...? Are you even paying attention...?"
"So pretty", whispered Hiccup in awe, still staring, before his eyes widened and he blushed. "Uh, I didn't mean to say that aloud. I mean, I didn't mean to say it like that. I wanted to make a good impression and seem eloquent or something but you look so pretty and I forgot how to function and urgh, please, if the Earth ever planned on opening up and swallowing me whole, now would be the perfect time for that, yeah."
Blinking slowly, Jack started laughing, covering his mouth with one hand, eyes sparkling. "Not the perfect time. If the Earth would swallow you now, you would miss our first date, you know."
Hiccup made a very miserable sound at that, covering his face with both his hands. "Can we... Can we maybe just start over, please...? This is totally off-script."
Jack continued laughing, but he leaned in and kissed Hiccup's cheek and Hiccup was about ready to just faint. "Nope. I like the way this is going so far. Flustered Hiccup is fun."
"...Wonderful that you are enjoying my misery", drawled Hiccup dryly.
"Just... shows I'm not the only one who's nervous about this", grinned Jack with soft eyes.
"You're nervous too?", asked Hiccup hopefully, looking up at Jack like a puppy.
"Of course I'm nervous. I've never been on a date before", shrugged Jack casually.
"Okay. So. Let's... do this. Together", nodded Hiccup. "Come."
"What do you have planned?", asked Jack curiously as he followed Hiccup.
They reached the stables and there, Hiccup led Jack to Maximus and Angus. "I asked the girls if I could borrow their horses today. Said we just wanted to... hang out. But I have plans."
Humming curiously, Jack climbed onto Maximus' back, patting the white horse's side. Hiccup all the while climbed onto Angus and led the way. For a while, the two of them just rode next to each other, talking softly about school and that last football game. It was really nice and even though it didn't seem different from what they usually did, it felt different. More... intimate.
"I've never been to this part of Berk before", stated Jack wearily as they went up a narrow path.
The sun was already slowly setting and in the past months, Jack really had never been this far into the mountains – the low mountains. Berk had a lot of mountains and the Saint Norths lived in the highest, coldest mountain. But here, the trees were green and the paths were narrow. Not traveled much. Hiccup however looked like he knew exactly where he was going.
"It's kind of a... secret spot. A lagoon that Toothless and I discovered the first summer he was here", replied Hiccup. "We'll be there soon. It's really well hidden. We kind of... found it by accident, actually. We crash-landed in the lagoon. That's... yeah, that's how I lost my leg."
Jack stared at him in surprised silence for a few moments. "And... you still go there?"
"It's not the place's fault. It was ours, for being dumb kids", chuckled Hiccup sheepishly.
Jack nodded slowly, frowning deeply. He ran his eyes over Hiccup, to make sure his boyfriend – oh, boyfriend, huh – was really alright. He looked that way, at least, offering Jack a grin and a wink.
"A—and we're here", announced Hiccup as he stopped Angus.
Jack followed Hiccup off the horses and through a tight passage into a grove. It was beautiful. A lagoon, a beach, surrounded by stone-walls, the sunlight softly falling in through the leaves of the trees growing atop the stones. It was absolutely breathtaking. Staring in awe, Jack looked around as he was led over to a nice spot by Hiccup. Hiccup got the blanket and food out of the backpack he had been carrying. It looked like a really nice picnic.
"Did you make all this food yourself?", asked Jack curiously when they sat down.
"No. Mom helped", admitted Hiccup. "Especially with the desserts."
"Mh, Cass' cakes. Good", grinned Jack pleased. "Oh, I brought cookies?"
Hiccup perked up at that, watching Jack get the cookies out of his own backpack. The two of them got comfortable together and started eating. At first, they just ate and talked casually, but the longer they sat together, the more comfortable they got and the more intimate it felt. Jack was leaning heavily against Hiccup's chest, Hiccup having one arm wrapped around his waist and hand-feeding Jack. For a long stretch of time, they'd just stare into each other's eyes and trade the occasional kiss.
"Okay, I think I get how this is different from just hanging out with friends", whispered Jack.
"Mh?", grunted Hiccup confused, getting lost in Jack's eyes.
"Well, when I was getting ready, I was talking to Mo and asking her what the difference is between a real date and just hanging out with a friend", replied Jack. "But now... I guess..."
"Wait, you told Moana?", asked Hiccup surprised. "I mean, I thought you said that you didn't want anyone to know so no one would put, you know, expectations on us...?"
"Yeah sure, but it's not all of Berk. It's just... Mo", shrugged Jack, wiggling his nose in a very cute way. "Moana is like... my... best friend. Never had one of those before. I had to tell her. It's... okay? Right? I mean, you don't mind, do you...?"
"No. No, I just... I mean... I wanted to tell Toothless too", shrugged Hiccup with a blush.
"So... what are we going to do after dinner?", asked Jack curiously.
"...I... uhm...", started Hiccup with a frown. "I didn't think that far ahead...?"
"Right", grinned Jack and tilted his head as he looked around, until his eyes sparkled. "I think I have an idea. Get up. Come, Hics."
Hiccup yelped as he was being pulled up and toward the small lagoon. It was rather shallow, he knew the water barely covered his shoulders at the deepest point. Jack lifted a hand and whirled it around once, making snow fall and turning the shallow lagoon solid. Hiccup smiled and turned to look at the sky as a snowflake hit his nose.
"Sit down", ordered Jack with a mischievous grin.
When Hiccup did so, Jack used his powers to add blades to the bottom of the shoes. Jack did the same with his own shoes and then pulled Hiccup along onto the lake. For the next hour, the two of them danced over the ice as snow gently fell around them. Hiccup was still a little awkward, but Jack led them well, laughing – his laughter rang true through the whole lagoon.
Both collapsed onto their blanket afterward, Hiccup with his arms spread and Jack half on top of him, resting his cheek on his boyfriend's chest. They laid to face the sky, staring up at the moon.
"This is really nice", whispered Jack softly.
"Yeah? Good first date?", asked Hiccup hopefully.
"Very good first date", confirmed Jack with a gentle smile, leaning in to kiss Hiccup.
Hiccup blushed, but he looked also utterly pleased at that.
/break\
Jack smiled brightly as he hummed and decorated his cake. He was practically dancing through the kitchen. Cass was watching him curiously. He was a mischievous and good boy and usually happy, but today? He was practically floating. He even had his tail and ears out, ears twitching and tail wagging slightly. The Arctic fox was definitely in a good mood.
"Did something good happen?", asked Cass with a smile as she came up next to her student.
"Mh?", grunted Jack confused, turning toward the café owner.
It was another one of Cass' baking classes and Jack really loved those. It was a lot of fun and the Lucky Cat Café was a really beautiful place where Jack felt rather welcomed. He smiled at Cass.
"You've been humming and dancing around", laughed Cass softly.
"Oh. Yeah. Uhm. I guess I'm... just... happy?", shrugged Jack with a blush.
Cass raised one eyebrow and nodded, leaving the boy alone for now but knowing this was about something else. Though as soon as she was gone, Rapunzel popped up next to Jack.
"You are extremely happy", noted the blonde. "What happened?"
"Maybe I had... a good day yesterday", shrugged Jack with a teasing grin.
Rapunzel raised both of her eyebrows at that. "You are not telling me everything. This must be good. You'll tell me though, right? When you're ready to tell?"
At that, Jack nodded and smiled softly. He would. Not now. They had barely been on one date and he really didn't want everyone looming over him and Hiccup, expecting to hear all the details and pushing them to work out at all costs. For now, this was just theirs.

Cass Hamada was neither blind, not stupid. She was very perceptive. When one was raising five children, one had to be perceptive. Personally, she had known from the beginning that Hiccup and Merida never meant to become mates. It was obvious. They weren't interested in each other. They were good friends, who were being pressured by their Alphas into this and didn't see another option than to pretend to be dating. For a while, Cass had contemplated stepping in and setting Elinor and Stoick straight, but she had chosen against it. Even if not mated, both Merida and Hiccup would one day become leaders in their own rights – and for that, they needed to learn to step up for themselves. Merida and Hiccup had to learn to say no to their parents and Alphas, to stand true to themselves. If shove came to push, Cass would have stepped in – there was no question there. She would have intervened if they had actually continued with this scheme, but she wanted to give Hiccup and Merida the chance to gain the courage and end it themselves.
She had been a bit surprised when Hiccup had confessed to him and Merida 'breaking up' because they were not a match. After all, it had been going on for long enough now and she had started to believe they both were just comfortable in their hiding. So, naturally, Cass grew more curious as to what had caused this rather sudden act of bravery from her son.
She did not miss that their house smelt more like marshmallows and snow lately. For the most part, Cass had thought that was just due to the friendship between Hiro and Jack, but something had changed. Hiccup was the one who smelt more like Jackson Overland. And while that might be just because the two of them were friends, her intuition told her otherwise.
Now, when Jack had come to her baking class, humming and practically dancing, on the day after Hiccup got home late with a dopey smile and the faintest blush, claiming he had been working late on a project at school... She knew how to put two and two together.
Ever since Jack had moved to Berk, Hiccup had been spending a whole lot of time with him. Now, he came clear about not dating Merida, they started smelling like each other – Cass had gotten a whiff of Jack during the baking class and there was some Hiccup clinging onto the white-haired omega. Not to mention, when Hiccup had left yesterday, he had packed 'lunch' and had been very specific about what cake he wanted to take with him. Cheesecake. Not really one Hiccup usually enjoyed, but it was Jack's favorite cake, Cass knew that by now because Jack had become a regular at the café just like every other teen their age-group, really.
Cass smiled as she exited the bathroom, barely getting past Heather as the girl squeezed in. "Sorry, Cass. Gotta hurry before Dagur notices you're done. Night."
"Good night, sweetie", chuckled Cass amused and continued on her way.
"Cass? You done?", asked Dagur and poked his head out of his room.
"Yes, but your sister was faster", replied Cass, amusement growing.
Dagur glared and groaned. "We need more bathrooms in this house."
"Less people would work too", called Hiro out from his room. "You and Tadashi moving out after your graduation, right? So me, Hics and Heather get more space and privacy."
"You're still gunning for our room, aren't you?", called Tadashi back, sounding amused.
Hiccup and Hiro used to share a room until very recently. Tadashi and Dagur still shared a room, the largest of the bedrooms. Hiro had taken it upon himself to live in what used to be a storage room and was definitely too small – but apparently he valued privacy over space, at least for now. And Cass understood that. Hiro was fourteen now, he didn't want to always have his big brother in his room when his friends were over. It was awkward.
"Tadashi, don't stay up studying too long", stated Cass as she poked her head into the boys' room. "Dagur, no playing video games until past midnight. You have classes tomorrow and you need to be prepared for your exams. Good night, boys."
"Night", chorused Tadashi and Dagur.
Next, she poked her head into Hiro's room. "Lights out, sweetie."
"Ye—es, mom", groaned Hiro with a pout. "Good night."
And lastly, she checked in with Hiccup, who was working on his sketchbook, deep in thought. Curiously, Cass approached him and looked over his shoulder, just to see that he was sketching a beautiful white fox. Just like Jack's shift-form. The smile on her lips grew.
"Don't forget to go to bed, Hiccup", reminded Cass fondly.
Startled, he tried to hide his sketchbook, his cheeks dark-red. Yes, Cass' hunch was definitely on point. He nodded in agreement and wished her a good night before she left his room. Rather pleased with herself did she head toward her own bedroom, where her husband was already tucked in and reading a book, running his fingers through his beard thoughtfully.
"Honey", started Cass sweetly, smiling as she crawled into the bed too.
"Yes, dear?", asked Stoick absentmindedly, not looking up from his book.
"Honey", tried Cass again, even sweeter, and kissed his cheek.
"I'm sorry, what?", asked Stoick, putting his book down and turning toward his wife.
Cass smiled fondly at him before kissing him properly. She loved this man so much. Stoick on the outside, but he was true and caring on the inside. He loved his pack, this island, and above all else his family so much. He was such a gentle and caring soul, always concerned for those in his care.
"I think we should invite the Saint Norths over for dinner this weekend. It feels like ages since I last saw Toothiana and that vodka Nick always brings is nearly empty", mused Cass. "Not to mention, it would be a good opportunity for you as the Alpha to check in on the two newest members of the pack and see how they have settled in. It's been half a year since they moved here now."
"Already?", asked Stoick surprised. "Time truly flies... Yes. Yes, that is a brilliant idea, love. Whatever would I be doing without you?"
He smiled and kissed her, making her grin pleased. "You would be terribly lost."
"I would indeed", confirmed Stoick, eyes soft as he looked at her.
Settling in on her half of the bed, Cass took her phone and opened the group chat with her girls – Toothiana, Elinor and Sina. Though Elinor rarely participated in the group chat, she still appreciated being part of it to stay updated on the other three women's lives.
Cass: Tooth, you and Nick busy this Saturday? Dinner at my place.
Toothiana: Oh, wonderful! I'll tell Nick right away. Looking forward to it!
Sina: Pure envy, Tooth. Wish I could be there too. I hope our weekend trip won't expand...
Elinor: Is Moana going to be alright without you and Tui at home? Who is watching her?
Sina: It will just be a couple of days. I'm sure she will be alright.
Elinor: Nonsense. Do send her over, she can stay with us for the weekend.
Sina: Thank you. Much appreciated. She does have her head in the clouds when she's alone.
Cass chuckled to herself as she turned her phone off and snuggled into the bed and up against her husband. Dinner was hopefully going to be enlightening.
Author's note: THEY'RE OFFICIALLY DATING! ^o^ And it only took them 15 chapters to get to the first date! :O
Next chapter, dinner with the future in-laws. Also, pain, lots of it, because this has been too fluffy and happy and unproblematic so far! ;D
