I OWN NOTHING. BTW- OLDER HICCUP!
OUTSIDER'S POV
Jack plopped down next to Hiccup, smiling when he saw him shiver slightly when the wind circled around them.
"Sorry I'm late, lost track of time," Jack apologized. Hiccup gave him a small grin, Rapunzel nodded, and Merida snorted.
Before she could retort, however, Bunny decided to.
"That seems to be your excuse every time this happens! We've been waiting for hours, mate!"
Jack looks at the other guardian.
"Sorry, I was at the pond, today is... Kind of a special day," he says softly. Hiccup looks at him. His brother usually didn't stutter...
"What, did someone die today?" Merida asks, finally speaking her voice. She was beyond tired of waiting. Barely anyone noticed Jack flinch and look down. Hiccup and Rapunzel did, though, and they soon shared looks of slight concern. Before they could say anything, Jack spoke up, more sass in his voice.
"None of your business Hot-Head, or yours Kangaroo," he stands up, coming face to face with Bunny.
"It is our my business, when it interferes with MY time," he snaps back. Hiccup looks at the upcoming argument, deciding whether or not to interfere.
"So sorry you lost a FEW hours, waiting instead of painting eggs,"
"You should be! I lost a good three hours while you were lollygagging on some stupid pond!"
Jack tensed at the words, and this time everyone saw it but two; Merida and Bunny.
"If you knew anything, about that pond..." Jack trailed off, glaring daggers.
"It's a stupid pond, it's not like you died there! It's not like you were born there!" Bunny raised his hands in the air, to emphasize his point. Jack full out flinched and backed away, an arm going to cover his face.
"You have no idea..." he whispers, before walking away, no one but Hiccup noticing the tears in his brother's eyes.
"No idea what? It's a meaningless pond, that has nothing to do with anything!" Bunny shouts. Jack turns and jumps for him, but Hiccup quickly grabbed him from behind, wrapping his arms around Jack's waist. He shivers when his arms touch the hoodie, and his worry increases when he feels the other boy's ribs from underneath.
Before anyone else can say or do anything, a new voice appears.
Guardians...
