Kura: New chapter.

Realization

Hiccup shook his head. He didn't like Jack. That was stupid! He glanced at the Great Hall and snuck inside. He glanced at Jack's cage.

The boy was asleep. He curled in on himself.

Hiccup smiled but then frowned. He couldn't help but feel bad that the boy was sleeping in a cage. Maybe he could take him to hi-

'WHAT THE FUCK AM I THINKING?!' He thought to himself. He shook his head and walked out.

The next day he walked back to the Great Hall. Jack was awake and Hiccup walked towards him. Jack looked up at him and whimpered, his light cries muffled by the tape. Hiccup set the fish he brought down. He sat in front of the cage, and moved his hand towards Jack's mouth. The boy backed away. Hiccup frowned and tried again. Jack backed away again. They kept on doing this for a while.

"If I let yiu out for a while, will you eat?!" Hiccup finally snapped.

Jack looked at him and slowly nodded. Hiccup sighed in relief as he took the tape off of Jack's mouth, once again ignoring the hiss of pain. He repeated the proccess of feeding Jack. From holding the fish up to his lips to replacing the tape on his lips.

"It's only in case someone sees us..." he explained.

Jack nodded, though Hiccup could tell he was upset about not being able to speak. Hiccup cut the ropes on his legs, and removed the chains connecting him to his cage. He tied his hands behind his back and gripped his arm. Jack stumbled for a bit before gaining his footing.

Hiccup led him outside, glad that no one was around. He led Jack to the cove, where Toothless lived when he wanted to. Lifting Jack into his arms, Hiccup jumped into the cove and untied Jack's hands and removed the tape. This time he did notice the hiss of pain.

Toothless noticed his master and a stranger. The stranger had his hands tied and something covering his mouth. But he didn't seem dangerous... Jumping closer, he saw Hiccup untie the stranger and removed the gray strip on his mouth. The stranger hissed and Hiccup seemed to noticed because he muttered an apology. Toothless approached the stranger who looked at him in awe. He nudged the boy, making him fall over, and sniffed his chest. The boy giggled as he did.

Hiccup couldn't believe it. They had just met, but it seemed Toothless liked Jack.

'Who wouldn't? His eyes are like sapphires. His laugh is like falling snow. His hair and teeth look like freshly fallen snow. My Snowflake-' Hiccup's eyes widened at his last thought. Then he went back. He went red and groaned silently. Astrid was right. But then again, she was also wrong. Yes, he liked him, but what he felt was stronger than "like," no, Hiccup loved Jack.
