Author's Note ~ Now this is more like it. MUSIC AU! Okay, first, I have good news ... I SAW THE OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR HTTYD2! *fangirl scream* IT'S EPIC! GO ONTO YT IF YA'LL WANNA WATCH IT. U WON'T REGRET IT! Okay, in this One-Shot, Hiccup starts singing a familiar song and the song brings him and a certain 'Overland' boy together. ENJOY! ~ P.S ~ This song relates to Christmas. ~
Jack walked around the woods. He ran in here somewhere. Where did he go? Jack's P.O.V ~ Dammit Jackson! Why does he always do this to me?! Mom's gonna kill us if we don't get home. When the hell is he!? Wait... what's that sound? ~ End of P.O.V ~ Jack slowed his pace as he heard the sound of singing. 'I know this song,' He thought as he walked around a tree.
Hiccup's P.O.V ~ Hmm. Jackson said he'd be out here. But where? *Sighs* Guess it's time for our 'unexpected' hide and seek game. I'm coming for you Jackson. ~ End of P.O.V ~ Hiccup didn't know it. But, he started singing. The song was one he always sang whenever he walked through the woods. Especially around Christmas time. Yet, he didn't know that in singing his little song, he would find not only Jackson. But, his Christmas savior.
Hiccup "Mary did you know? That your baby boy, would one day walk on water."
Jack froze. He knew that song. He used to sing it all the time to Jackson and Emma when they were younger. Someone else also knew the song. Jack thought that it was best to sing along with the next line.
Jack ~ "Mary did you know? That your baby boy, would save our sons and daughters."
The two of them started singing the rest of the song together. Not aware of who else was singing alone.
Hiccup ~ "Did you know, that your baby boy has come to make you new?"
Jack ~ "This child you delivered. Will so deliver you."
There was a slight pause as the two boys continued through the woods. Unaware of each others presence.
Hiccup ~ "Mary did you know? That your baby boy, will give sight to a blind man."
Jack ~ "Mary did you know? That your baby boy, will calm the storm with his hand."
Hiccup~ "Did you know? That your baby boy, has walked where angels trod?"
Jack~ "When you kiss your little baby. You kiss the face of God."
There was another pause as both boys quickened their paces.
Hiccup~ "The blind will see."
Jack~ "The deaf will hear."
Hiccup~ "The dead will live again."
Jack~ "The lame will leap."
Hiccup ~ "The dumb will speak."
Jack~ "Praises of a lamb!"
It seemed that they were screaming. Rather then singing.
Hiccup ~ "Oh Mary, did you know? That your baby boy, is LORD of all creation."
Jack ~ "Mary did you know? That your baby boy, will one day rule the nations."
Hiccup~ "Did you know? That your baby boy, is heaven's perfect lamb!"
Jack ~ "This sleeping child your holding!"
Hiccup~ "Is the great..."
Jack~"I..."
Jackson ~ "Am..."
Jack and Hiccup turned to see a boy. He was standing on a tree branch, and leaning against another. Jackson. Hiccup and Jack both sighed in relief. "That was a wonderful performance, If I do say so myself," Jackson said as Hiccup blushed and Jack chuckled, looking at his feet and rubbing his arm nervously. Jackson jumped down from his position and landed in front of his brother and his best friend. "You win Hiccup," Jackson said to him concerning their 'game'.
"What was the main reason you wanted me out here?" Hiccup questioned, crossing his arms. Jackson chuckled as he spun around and placed his arm on his twin brother's shoulder,"I wanted you to meet my brother. Hiccup, this is Jack. Jack, this is my friend Hiccup." "Nice to meet you," Jack said with a smile. "You to," Hiccup replied returning the smile, which turned to an expression of realization,"HOLD ON! YOU WANTED US TO COME HERE! JUST TO SING THE SONG?!" Jackson gave them the biggest, dorkiest smile he could whip up. Which made it obvious. "Yep!" He replied with a chirp,"And besides ~ You two sing good together."
Jack and Hiccup stopped walking, allowing Jackson to walk ahead of them, and looked at each other. "He's got a point," Jack said as he shoved his hands into his pockets. Hiccup chuckled,"I guess so." Jack took a deep breath,"How did you learn the song?" "My mom used to sing it to me when I was little. I guess it just came to my head," Hiccup replied as he looked at the ground," What about you?" Jack chuckled,"My mom did the same for me till Jackson was born. Then I started singing it to him. Same when Emma was born."
Hiccup knew that was true. Though, Jackson was only a year younger then he was. Also, that Emma was just about ten. Which had to mean that, Jack was seventeen and that he was fourteen. It had been eight years since Hiccup had heard the song from his mother. Yet, he always seemed to hear her singing in his dreams.
Jack turned to Hiccup,"Do you think we could do something like this again?" Hiccup smiled as he looked back at Jack,"Yeah sure. But next time, we're singing 'Winter Wonderland'. Jack chuckled as he started sprinting after his younger brother, he turned though to wave goodbye to Hiccup. In high hopes to sing with him again soon. ~
