Chapter 26: Cold nights and company

The sound of Olaf's laughter filled the living room of the cabin house that gave official comfort to Hiccup and Jack. After all the days excitement the two were surprised to the see the freshmen so calm. Kristoff's mother brought the three boys cups of hot coco. The blonde teen kissed his mother "thank you" as she handed the last cup to him. "I'm so glad Kristoff got to boys in time. Heaven only knows what could've happened if he hadn't." The older women spoke with a smile. Jack gave a smile and laughed, "Yeah, me too ma'am. We'd probably bug paste."

He felt the cushions beside him deflate and to face Hiccup. "Hey, call your dad," He asked. Hiccup nodded with a defeated sigh, "Yeah, he's not happy, but said to stay here for the night." He looked to Kristoff's mother, "If that's alright ma'am." The women gave a humored giggle, "Of course dearie. We don't get guests much so the company is welcome." Her son snickered, "Told you." Jack stood and stretched, "Excuse me but can I use your bathroom," He asked. "Oh of course love down the hall, by the front door, on the left," She directed and he nodded leaving the group.

A quick conversation was struck between Hiccup and Kristoff when the sound of a loud thump was heard to their right. Everyone looked to see Jack on the ground. Pain rippled through the boy's ankle and he held himself up inches from the ground. Seeing as he forgot the step he'd have to take to get into the hall, he was grateful for fast reflexes or his face would be in just as much pain as his ankle. "Oh my! Dear are you alright," Asked Kristoff's mother. The worried tone filled his ears made Jack quickly recover with a smile. He stumbled up to his feet, wincing at the hint of pain from putting pressure on his ankle. "Yes, ma'am I'm fine," He chuckled a bit embarrassed. "I forgot about the step there. Hehe, would you mind showing me the way," He asked with a sheepish grin. The older women quickly complied, "Of course, this way dear." He followed her footsteps and thanked her.

Upon returning Kristoff's mom had a worried expression on her face softly saying, "That was strange." "What's wrong mom," her son asked and she merely smiled at the boys", Nothing dear. Why don't you get our guest some blankets for the night," She smiled and Kristoff nodded standing up. He made his way upstairs and found a stack of spare blankets. The thick layers of comfort blocked his vision a bit, but didn't prevent him from seeing the wandering figure down the hallway. "Jack?" He asked seeing the teen turn around to face him. "Thought I heard somebody else up here," He chuckled. "Yeah, What are you doing up here," Kristoff asked. Jack shrugged, "Eh ya know, wandering, getting my barrens. Don't wanna run into anything or trip... Again." A weak laugh escaped Kristoff's lips, "Ya know you could'a just asked for a tour man." Jack shrugged again, "Yeah but it's easier by myself. I get a better feel of a new place, alone. Besides I didn't wanna bother, you and your mom were hosting."

He took note of what Jack said, but he wasn't able to process it before his mom called his name. "Kristoff dear, could you set the blankets up in the guest room?" His mother asked from downstairs. "Sure thing mom," He replied. Jack walked with him down the hall, "This a nice place man." Kristoff huffed with a smile, "Thanks, kinda small at times, for a big guy like me." "How tall are you," Jack asked. "6'0, Why?" He responded. Jack laughed, "You'd fit just fine in my uncle's shop back home." "Your uncle owns a shop?" Kristoff asked. "Yeah he_" Jack was cut off by the fast and hard contact his face made with the wall. "Yeah, yeah that's a wall," He nodded stumbling back holding his nose. "Oh crap dude! You ok?!" Kris asked. Jack held his nose and said "Yeah, yeah I'm good." He held his head back, rubbing his nose while regaining his composer.

After the tingling in his nose stop he wiggled it laughing lightly, "Haven't ran into a wall in a while." Kristoff looked at him, "What you run into walls often," he asked walking into the room. Jack chuckled with a shrug, "Yeah sometimes when I'm in new places. Gotta get the feel of it somehow." The large blonde arched an eyebrow, "Yeah, but running into walls? I didn't know any better I'd think you were blind bro." Jack's brows arched in confusion, but that quickly faded with the words, "Yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head man". Kristoff frowned in confusion quickly than stared wide eyed at the teen before him. "Wait your," he was silenced by Jack's nodded. "Oh man I'm sorry dude… Wait the heck were you doing climbing out here," Kristoff exclaimed. Jack gave a casual shrug, "Hiccup was showing us the nature side of Berk, Olaf fell I caught him and Hiccup forgot his climbing gear."

Kristoff crossed his arms, "Yeah cause that's an explanation. How'd you know the kid fell," he asked. Jack leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, "I heard him. The same way I heard you coming to save us." Kristoff couldn't help but look a bit surprised, "You, heard me," he asked. The white haired teen huffed with a smile, "Yeah. And it took ya long enough man, a second layer and we'd have been broken bones and no way home." Kristoff nodded in agreement, "Kristoff! Dinner is ready!" His mother's voice interrupted their conversation. He rolled his eyes with a smile, "Coming mom!" He shouted back and led Jack back downstairs, to the kitchen.

Hiccup and Olaf were already making their plates when the other two got there. " Jack there you are! I knocked on the door, but you didn't answer," Stated Kristoff's mom. "I found him wandering around the house," Her son informed, giving Jack a light shove. "Oh!? Well at least you weren't hurt," The women smiled. "Minus that wall you ran into," Kristoff mumbled. "Oh dear are you alright?!" His mother quickly asked. Jack nodded sheepishly, "Yes, ma'am I'm fine really, just getting my feel of your lovely home," he explained. Relief filled the women's voice as she sighed, "I don't believe I'll ever truly understand you teenage boys. But I will say I'm glad you're alright, but do be more careful dear," she warned. Jack nodded, "Yes, ma'am and sorry to have worried you." She waved her hand at the comment, "Nonsense Kristoff does it all the time. Worrying this aging heart of mine as much as he can, while he's young" She said dramatically. Kristoff rolled his eyes, "She didn't tell you how she works me to the bone every day." The blonde smirked. "I'm your mother. Why working you to the bone is practically a requirements as your parent," His mother pouted. "I'm only 17 mom," Kristoff replied. "And going on 18 in a few weeks. Your young, I'm prepping you for the fast coming journey to man hood," She concluded.

Jack laughed, "I don't know Kris, and your mom's gotta point." The larger teen huffed setting Jack's plate down a bit roughly. "Betrayed by my own kind, see if I make a plate for you again in the future," The blonde grumbling with a grin. His mother awed, "I knew I raise you to be a gentleman, but you didn't make a plate for your other guests," She said in a questioning tone. "Yeah well_" Kristoff stopped and looked at Jack. Hiccup and Olaf froze too at the words that almost slipped. Jack just shook his head with a smile, "Ma'am you did raise him well. You see I'm blind."

The remainder of dinner went on with Jack telling his story, by dessert he had the middle aged women on the verge of tears. He wasn't a big fan of telling it to adults, they always took it too seriously and treated Jack like fragile glass. And Kristoff's mother was no different, constantly asking if Jack was alright, or needed help getting to the bathroom. By the time it was time to turn in Jack was exhausted from the over attention he received from the women, not that he blamed her. He knew caring and coddling would come once she found out about his condition and he was somewhat grateful for it. She was a mother after all and her desire to care for him reminded Jack of his own.

As he laid on the large sofa downstairs in the dark he realized this whole place reminded him of home. Feeling the cold air of the mountains and snow chilling his feet through his shoes as he walked through the snow, Kristoff's cabin, and his mom's homemade dinner all reminded him of home. So much that he couldn't sleep, Jack found him mind flooded with memories of home, memories of his family dinners every night and chasing his sister to get in bed before mom got made. He remembered having long drawn out conversations with his uncles about which holiday was better Christmas or Easter. He would help his dad think of new ideas and designs for snowboards and gradually relearned how to make the boards themselves.

Jack found himself outside when he was finally pulled from his thoughts. He was sitting on the front step of the cabins porch looking out into the blackness. The sound of the door opening made him turn around to point out the footsteps. Not Hiccup's, not Olaf... "Kris," Jack questioned, "What're you doing out here?" Kristoff chuckled, "I was gonna ask you the same thing." Jack turned back to the view. "Couldn't sleep," Jack stated. "Yeah no shit. I mean what're you doing out here alone," the blonde asked. Jack sighed, "What's it look like out there?" Kris looked at the scenery before them. "Uh, well it's pretty dark, but... I mean you can see the white snow banks and giant shadows of trees." Jack chuckled, "Yeah just like home." "Ah, thinking of home," Kristoff stated. "Yeah. Ya know I got lost once in the woods at night back home. Second scariest moment of life... Well so far. I use shades of light and dark to see where figures are. I can make out when people are standing, sitting, moving. If that's not enough I can always hear them. But that night I had no shades to show me the way, I had no heat to point in the directions of the sun. All I had was cold and darkness. I thought when I lost my sight I'd seen true darkness, but I was wrong. That night I was lost and scared and figured death would finally take me this time, instead of just my eyes. But an old friend saved me again, just like the first time." Jack lift his hand and pointed up.

Kristoff followed and saw the full moon above them. "Through all that darkness and fear the moon found me... It was so big and so bright, it seemed to chase the darkness away. It was only source of light I had and somehow it got me home." Kristoff took the story as a message. "So is this a message for my future adventures," He asked. Jack laughed, "You could call it that or the rambling of a blind idiot." Kris shoved him, "Dude, you're not an idiot." The two shared a laugh. Kristoff looked at the moon and asked, "So is it my turn to tell my life story?" Jack shrugged, "Hey only if ya want too." A gust wind rushed the two teen, Kristoff gave a small shiver, and Jack seemed fine. "I'll spill my guts some other night, when the winds not kissin my pores'" Kris shivered and Jack laughed, "What?! I figured all that muscle would easily keep ya warm buddy." Jack hit him lightly on the shoulder with the back of his hand as he stood. Kristoff followed, "Ha-ha, I'm surprised a stick like you hasn't frozen over, sitting out here with that on." Jack was only wearing a t-shirt and boxers with no shoes. He shrugged, "I'm use to the cold." Kristoff rolled his eyes happy to be back inside, "Yeah, yeah, go to sleep "Frost"."The white haired teen plopped on the couch, while Kris waved him off going upstairs to his room.

Hearing the door close to Kristoff's room, made Olaf open his eyes. He laid in the giant guest bed looking up at the ceiling, aimlessly. He couldn't sleep either, as all the events of the day passed through his head. He was invented to his first hangout with guys, and upperclassmen at that. He went hiking for the first time, Jack saved his life, and Kristoff's mom was really sweet and made awesome Apple pie, all in all it was one the best days of Olaf's life. But he couldn't help but think about all the trouble he'd be in when he got home. Hiccup told him his dad called his auntie and sisters and told them what happened. He felt guilty putting Jack and Hiccup in that situation. "Hey... Hiccup. You asleep?" The brunet groaned, "Not anymore." Olaf winced, "Sorry..." Hiccup yawned, "It's alright. Why aren't you asleep," he asked with his eyes closed. "Well... I couldn't stop think about today... I mean I know we could've died if I hadn't messed up so badly and all. But I'd never been out with guy friends before and, I was so excited I didn't think to look before I fell. I was never really popular back home and, and I didn't have many friends. Most of the time I just hung around my sister... So even though I screwed today up I, I still had fun ya know. And I just wanted to say thanks for today... You guys didn't have to invite me, but ya did, so thanks."

Hiccup now had his eyes open and sat up slightly to look at Olaf. "Uh... You're welcome man. But you didn't screw, and we wouldn't have died, just had a few injures. But heck if anybody screwed up it was me for not being prepared. If I'd just brought the climbing gear, we wouldn't be here right now, " Hiccup stated softly. "I brought you guys out here, I was responsible for you, and my carelessness almost got you hurt." He stated disappointed in himself. This just gave him something else to add to the list of reasons why he's not ready to be mayor of Berk. "Yeah but your quick thinking got us out of trouble," Olaf chimed. "If you hadn't told Toothless to go get help and made that grappling hook around that tree, Jack would've fallen after saving me. I mess up all the time, but I've never been able to fix them as quickly as you did." Olaf stated passionately.

Hiccup felt a bit of pride swell up and warm his heart. He smiled in the darkness, "Thanks, Olaf." Olaf smiled to himself before somehow falling asleep, Hiccup wasn't far behind.

The smell of coffee and flapjacks filled the little cabin early Monday morning. Hiccup and Kristoff were the first to wake up and see the kitchen island counter covered with pancakes, fresh fruit, coffee and milk. "Whoa," Hiccup stated seeing the full spread. "Oh no. He's cooking with her," Kristoff mumbled. Hiccup arched an eyebrow, "Why is that bad?" Kris sighed rubbing his eyes, "It's the equivalent to giving a two year old her favorite toy." The woman smiled at the two teens, "Lovely isn't it! Jack helped me with all this and the pancakes are his family recipe. Top secrete he says, wouldn't even let me see him prep or mix the bowl. He did let me pour though," She giggled. "I felt like a child again. Son you could learn a thing or two from Jackie," the women said giddy with joy. "Jackie," Hiccup questioned with a smile. Kristoff rolled his eyes and sighed at his mother, "Yeah, he's spoiling her." A fresh clean pot came down on the blonde's head. "I'm not being spoiled. I'm being amused. Learn the difference young man!" His mother scolded making Hiccup chuckle some more. "I'm sorry. I'll cook with you tonight," Kristoff grumbled. "Good, now go get Olaf and Jackie," She hummed waving the two away. "Where is Jack by the way," Kristoff asked while Hiccup went to get Olaf. "Oh he went outside to get some fresh air," She explained waving to the balcony.

Kristoff made his way to the kitchen balcony and walked out into the cold. The sound of Sven barking quickly lead him to the balcony railing. The sight of Sven in the snow made him chuckle, but when he didn't see Jack a hint of worry crossed his features. "Jack," He called out, but received no answer. "Jack, you out there?" He called out again, with silence as a reply. "Ja_" he stopped when a snow ball dropped on his head. "AH! What the!?" The blonde shouted turning around. Laughter was heard from above and he looked to see a grinning Jack on the roof of his house. "Gotcha," Jack laughed. Kristoff shook the rest of the snow off his clothes, frowning up at the teen. "Dude I called for you," Kristoff frowned. Jack chuckled jumping down from the window, "I heard you man, I'm blind not deaf." Kristoff rolled his eyes at Jack and called for Sven to come inside. Walking back into the kitchen they found Hiccup, and a yawning Olaf at the island table. "Oh lovely your back!" The blonde's mother said with glee. "She always this happy in the morning," Jack asked Kris. "Only when you spoil her "Jackie"" He smirked shoving him.

Sooo Hiccup and Olaf have their moment of friendship and Jack's gotta new friend to add to his list of new friends from Berk.
Next chapter the three (Mostly Jack and Hiccup) have to face the consequence of their little trip. Stoick makes his debut, Sandy and Pitch are in the same room together, and everyone has someone to coddle and worry over them…everyone, but Jack… or does he?

Oh that and Dagger rears his ugly head again.
