Jack's POV
He's so warm. That's all I can think about while I hold him early in the morning. I lightly laugh as I think about his reaction to me holding him. Thankfully he's still asleep, so my face remains unbruised while his boot stays where it is. His sleeping face is peaceful, yet somehow full of curiosity. It reminds me of a tree rustling in the wind. The thought of that tugs the corners of my mouth up in a small smile.
It drives me crazy. I only met him yesterday, but merely thinking of him sends my heart flying. It's only because he's the first to see you. It's not real. Even if you really do like him, he'll never see you like that. Never.
I attempt to throw the thoughts to the back of my mind, but it only persuades me that they're right. While I'm busy drowning in my thoughts, Hiccup stirs in his sleep. Finally, the words in my mind are silenced as I look at his dead-to-the-world profile. His even breathing soothes me, and I eventually fall back asleep.
Hiccup's POV
He's so cold…. And he's holding me. HE'S HOLDING ME. Hiccup. Get your shit together. I sigh as I attempt to get out of his grasp. He's asleep, it doesn't mean anything. Thinking this, my pulse calms down and I'm able to make it out of bed. "Jack." I whisper, shaking him softly. This doesn't change his state of being in the slightest. Then I shake him a little more roughly.
"Jack!" I say a bit louder than what was meant. He proceeded to murmur indistinctively, grabbing the arm that was trying to wake him up and pulled me back onto the bed. "Five more minutes…" He managed with a hoarse voice. "Jack. Get. Your. Ass. Up." I emphasized each word, showing him that he needed to listen.
He snickered at me with his eyes barely open. It was worse than his damn smirk. The snicker was quickly replaced with a false apologetic look. "I'm sorry… I just wanted more time with you, Hic. Especially in bed." My cheeks were burning. I was frowning, contrary to the sickeningly perfect innocent smile on his lips. After giving him the punch that he earned, I pulled him out of the rooms I could get dressed.
Why did I feel like someone was watching me while I did so?
Jack's POV
His body was as beautiful as the rest of him. His flat stomach, muscles that were barely defined but still there. His long, slender legs. Freckles splattered his entire body. They were like stars perfectly imprinted on his skin. Then there was something in particular I was looking forward to seeing… and didn't get to see. A certain dragon didn't like the idea of me staring at a certain naked Viking.
Not getting what I wanted, I instead sat on the roof with said dragon staring at me. He showed no intention of stopping soon. "I'm not some kind of criminal, yanno." I whispered with my head hung. Toothless just squinted his green-yellow eyes at me.
"Jack?" Saved by the Viking.
Hiccup's POV
Jack wasn't outside my door. I stuck my head out of my window, attempting to call for him. I called quietly, Jack was an unusual name in Berk and people already thought I was crazy. I was a hero after showing people the kind nature of dragons, but that didn't last long. Especially after Astrid realized that she saw me as nothing more than a friend.
Jack took my mind off this as climbed off of the roof. I laughed at the look of concentration on his face. His lips were pressed in a thin line, taking the place of his usual smirk. His eyebrows were furrowed as he tried to find a place to put his foot. "I know I'm gorgeous, but you don't have to stare like that." Idiot! Stop staring at him. You don't need another person to think you're weird. All of Berk does a pretty good job of that.
I turned around so he wouldn't see my flushed face. "S-shut up. I was only staring because you had a dumb look on your face." After I calmed myself down, I twisted back to face him. Apparently my explanation only made him smile.
I pushed him back out the window.
