Author's POV
Ha! Chapter one of two for today, just as promised. Thought I was lying, didn't you? Don't answer that. Anyway, here's said chapter. Enjoy!
Hiccup's POV
Blue eyes. Deep, icy blue eyes staring at me angrily. "I already said I'm sorry. Don't pout, you big baby." It's not like I meant to kick you in the head… "I'm not pouting! I just don't understand how you can manage to accidently kick someone's head. Not even you're that clumsy." He sighed, then proceeded to pick me up and carry me bridal-style. …..HE PICKED ME UP. "JACK. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"
"Punishment." He sort of mumbled the word, but it still made my heart throb. Where are we even going? "You like ice, right?" Damn his smirk. I want to just slap it off of his smug face so badly. Or maybe I want it to stay there.
It almost suits him.
Jack's POV
He really is captivating. I love how he moves around in my arms. You're doing it again. He's going to leave you, you know. Even if he does stay with you, and he won't, he'll die leaving you behind to cry on the broken pieces of your heart. "Just leave me alone!" Shit. No, no, no. Hic, I'm sorry. That wasn't for you! "…Jack? Are you okay?" No. I'm not. You have to stay with me. Promise me you won't leave!
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Idiot! Make him promise! He has to promise! He's staring at me with that look again. The look that says he's worried. "Well, you just kinda told me to leave you alone while you're carrying me." Hiccup. Stop. Smile at me, even blush a little. Don't worry about me. "I was just practicing. You know, for when that Astrid girl comes to steal you away from me." Ow. That's right, Hic. Blush. Punch my shoulder.
Maybe even love me.
Hiccup's POV
It's obvious something is bothering him. Why doesn't he just tell me? He's only making me more curious about where we're going. What does ice have to do with anything? "Sorry, Hic. This is where I let you off." We stopped at a lake. A frozen, silver-blue lake. "You like skating, right? Makes for a good first date, huh? Guess I'm just a genius." This cocky son of a- "But seriously, do you like it?" A look of uncertainty cut off my thoughts.
"U-um… I can b-barely walk on my prosthetic, let alone skate." He looked away from me and his hands curled up into fists. "But it's beautiful, Jack. When did you have time to do this?" He turned back toward me with the biggest, goofiest grin on his face; his fists forgotten at his sides. "When we first met. Whenever I used my staff, it turns out the lake froze. Cool, isn't it? Pun fully intended." His laugh was like silver bells ringing in the air. He was speaking about the lake like a child talking about their toys.
It was kind of cute, in a Jack sort of way. "As much as I'd love to stay here and freeze to death with you, I think we should go back home. Okay?" I could see the disappointment etched out on his face. He really is just like a child. I sighed. "I'll let you sleep in my bed if we can go home now."
That was my first mistake.
Jack's POV
"Only if we get to cuddle." Damn, Hic. Break my arm why don't you. "Fine, fine. We'll cuddle naked if you want it that badly." HICCUP. I LIKE HAVING MY LEFT ARM ATTACHED TO MY BODY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. "I really hate you sometimes, Snowflake." I pouted. "That hurts me more than the bruise forming on my arm, you know." He just smiled sweetly at me. His smile sparkled in the fading light. It was beautiful. Almost as beautiful as the rest of his body… "Jack? Hellooooo? You still there?" While I was drowning in my thoughts of his skinny body, Hiccup was trying to get my attention.
"Yeah, babe?" DON'T PUNCH THE SAME PLACE THREE TIMES IN A ROW, HICCUP. "Let's go home, Frosty."
"Frosty? You can't keep changing my name, Hic."
Author's POV
Ahhhhh. There was so much angst in this chapter. It sickens me a little. I'm sorry, I just want you to feel the feels. Anyway, how's that for a chapter? One down, one more to go. Be prepared, my darlings.
