First off let me say Sorry about posting this chapter late, but I had school and sports and no time to seat down and write plus like I said I had a bad case of writer's block. I wanted to include some love connections in the next few chapters, but couldn't find where to start so I left it open to you guys. Now I got a lot ideas and comments so let me say thank you for that. The ideas I used for this chapter came from Guest and dd (Guest). I loved both of you're ideas and decided to combine them so I send out a special Thanks to you, and that's pretty much all I have to say {type}. Enjoy the chapter! -GG
Chapter 8: In the Library
"Hey Sandy have you seen Jack or Merida anywhere," Hiccup asked, "I thought they were gonna help me look for clues in Silver's notebook."
(I know Merida is still in the Infirmary with Rapunzel, I can't recall where Jack went.) There was a pause as the Sandman pondered on where the snow teen might be (Why don't you his room here in the workshop, it's just down the hall)
Hiccup nodded his head and started to walk to through the hallway. At the end stood a door that looked like it was made completely out of ice. He stopped in front of the door and pressed his ear up against it, curios to see what was going on the other end. Even though it was muffled the teen could still hear the slight sound of sniffling. He quickly knocked on the door and waited. The sound of shuffling was heard before the door swung open.
Jack stood in front of him with a fake cherry smile plastered on his face and a faint blush arising on his cheeks. His eyes looked blotchy and the tousled white mop on his head seemed as if he had been pulling at it. To sum it all up… it looked like the teen had just had a break down.
"H-Hey Hiccup w-what's up," he asked in a shaky voice.
"Umm… Hey Jack, were you crying," concern running through his voice.
"Ya… I'm fine," the winter fairy lied.
The Viking rolled for eyes, it was clear that the frost teen was lying and that he wasn't going to get him to tell the truth anytime soon either. "Well, if I remember correctly, you did tell me that you'd help me with the journal," he said, "You can come met me in the library when you're done."
Jack nodded his head and slipped back into his room. Hiccup walked away towards the library. He pulled down a few books that had to do with the Council. After a few minutes Jack walked into the room. He sat next to Hiccup and picked up one of the books. "So what are we trying to find out," he asked.
The Viking stared at him for while trying to read his expression before he spoke, "Well we're going to try to fix the poem and see what other secrets the journal holds."
"Ok, so let's get to work," the snow spirit said flipping open the journal.
They spent hours looking through books, taking notes, and talking over new information. Jack couldn't help the blush that appeared on his cheeks whenever Hiccup complemented him on a find, while the other couldn't help but let his eye wonder to the winter teen whenever he wasn't looking.
After sometime they decided to take a break just to sit and talk. "So Jack, is safe for me to ask why you were locked in your room crying, a few hours ago," The Autumn spirit asked.
The teen shook head and chuckled, "It was just over something stupid called stress."
"Really… what got you that stressed," Hiccup asked as if he didn't know.
"Well, for starters those creeps who call themselves The Omegas, getting sucked into this so called team, almost dying in a battle over book, having to save the world and take on even more responsibility, oh and I might like this spirit that I barely even know," Jack rambled not catching what he said until he was finished.
Hiccup arched an eyebrow, "Oh really... Do I this spirit?"
"W-w-what," the pale boy blushed harder than before.
"You said you the you might like this spirit you barely know."
"Oh… well, y-ya you know him better than I do."
This made the Viking smirk, "Ok, does this spirit have a name?"
"Do I have to say it?"
"You don't have to, but I'd like to know… who this special someone is."
Jack blushed and looked away, while Hiccup continued to smirk. He stood up and walked closer to his blushing beauty until he was standing in front of him. Jack looked up at him, his eyes sparkling with tears threatening to spill. "You know Jack, I think I know who you're talking about," he whispered.
Jack looked down and whimpered, "You do?"
Hiccup smirked and lifted his chin so now they were staring into each other's eyes once again, "I do, and I can show you exactly how he feels about you."
And with that he leaned in and kissed Jack's soft pale lips.
