Chapter 28: Broken Bond

"Hop in lad" Was all Jack heard before the sound of Hiccup standing up. He followed his friend and stood listening to him walk to his car. Jack straightened his bag and stated his walk home. As he walked he felt the back of his shirt being tugged and he was lifted off the ground. "Ah no ya don't," Gobber's voice chimed in his car. "Wait what?" Jack blinked with a confused frown. "The lad's goanna need back up on this one," Gobber informed, Jack nodded and got in the car. The drive was silent minus the Keltic rock music on the radio. Gobber looked at the two teens in the car. Jack in the back kept his eyes closed, while Hiccup kept his out the window. "So…uh… Did ya win?" Gobber asked.

A chuckle escaped Jack's lips. Hiccup looked wide eyed at the man. "Uh… yeah_ you could say that," Hiccup replied looking back at Jack, who kept his smile covered. "We weren't suspended with Dagger so I call that a win," Jack shrugged. Gobber laughed, "Good then he should go easy on yah." Hiccup and Jack were both silent for a moment then all three males busted into the laughter. The ride went on with Jack telling Goober the full story of the fight. Gobber couldn't stop laughing at Hiccup's sarcastic commentary on the side lines. However, all joking came to a subtle end once they drove into the drive way to Hiccup's house.

Jack could feel the tension as he got out the car and walked inside. He simply followed the burnet's footsteps and use his staff for any on coming steps. He was stopped when a large hand rested on his shoulder. Gobber cleared his throat, "You're fathers in his office. Best not to keep him wait'n lad." Hiccup nodded and looked at Jack before leaving the two. "Is his dad really that mad? I mean it wasn't even his fault," Jack questioned when they were alone. Gobber gave a drawn out sigh, "He can be ah bit over bearing, but the old coot means well. He's been through a lot with his son. Took the boy 15 years to gain his father's respect. Now he's got it and Stoick expects a lot from him."

Jack grazed his fingers tips across a smooth glass frame of a family portrait. "Maybe a bit too much," He questioned. Gobber gave another sigh but he was silent. "Ai at times he does, there's no denying that. But he feels the boy doesn't show much conviction for the task he goanna have to take up soon. Stoick just wants him to be ready, I suppose." The blonde man shrugged looking at the portrait of Hiccup and his father. "Maybe he does and it's just not seen. When he goes out with his maps and draws out more of the uncharted land, trying to build on the archives." Jack noted. Gobber was about the retort when the sound of Hiccup's voice could be heard behind the closed door. Jack looked up at Gobber, "Think their working it out?" A booming voice echoed out the room, "ENOUGH!"

The voice cause both Gobber and Jack to freeze. The one legged man waved off the shout, "Ai I'm sure their just talkin it out…"

The office door opened with a slam. "To your room, now" A thick Scottish accent ordered. "But dad if you just listen to me! Let me explain! I was trying to help!" Hiccup exclaimed and the large man turned to his son. "Help?! By getting into a fight with a governor's son? Did ya even think about the consequences of your actions!? Where those actions could put you in a few years?" His father's voice vibrated around the room. Hiccup groaned pushing his bangs back in frustration. "It was Dagger! You know the kind of title he has," Hiccup defended. "And I don't want you tied into it! Your pride of Berk son. You have an image to keep, a symbol to the people. Getting into fights, running through the woods, is not the up standing image of the next mayor." Stoick frowned.

Hiccup tried to reply, "I get it, but dad_" Stoick interrupted "ENOUGH!" He cleared his throat, "We'll talk more about this tomorrow." Hiccup frowned in confusion, "Tomorrow? Wha_ What about dinner?" The mayor of Berk straighten his tie. "I have a dinner meeting tonight with members of the senate. I won't be cutting your after school activities, but the car is off limits for another week. Got it?" Stoick gave his son a stern look. Hiccup wanted to stand his ground, tell his side of the story, but a sigh escaped his lips. "Yeah…" He stated ruffling his hair and walking out the hall and into the living room. Stoick watched him go until he was out of sight.

When Hiccup came in Gobber walked out. The old blonde smiled weakly at his friend. "Well that went well." Stoick simply gave a defeated sigh in return, "What am I going to do with him?" Gobber leaned on the wall and shrugged, "Good question. Don't even think he knows." Hiccup dropped on the couch next to Jack, with an exhausted sigh. "SOoooooo…. That happened," Jack stated awkwardly. Hiccup just sighed closing his eyes and leaned his head back, "Yeah." Jack stayed silent from then on. "Hey. I'm sorry you had to… ya know hear that…" Hiccup mumbled. Jack shrugged, "Hey… I hear a lot of things. Wouldn't be the first argument I've heard won't be the last. I'm sorry I got you into… that." Jack stated with a soft snicker. Hiccup shrugged, "Yeah well wouldn't be the first time mess I was in, won't be the last." Both teen chuckled at the word play, but were soon left in silence.

Hiccup was about to speak when Gobber walked in. "I'll be take'n Jack home now." He announced and Hiccup stood next to Jack. "Cool. I'll ride too," Hiccup declared. "No son, you stay here," Stoick frowned trailing behind Gobber. Hiccup was about to protest when Jack spoke up, "Hey man it's cool" he shrugged. He held out his fist to the brunet, "I'll see around school Hic." Hiccup bumped his fist and nodded, "Alright man." Jack smiled as Gobber and Stoick began to walk out. "Later man," He waved to Hiccup. "See ya, "Hiccup replied now left in the silence of his house.

Jack followed Gobber's footsteps to the car. His shoulder was lightly grabbed before he got in. The weight and strength of the hand felt very similar to his Uncle North, but he knew better. This hand felt more threatening than warm. "Jack is it?" The voice behind him asked. He could tell from the projection that the man towered over him. "Yes sir, " he said after he turned and faced up. "I am mayor Stoick. Hiccup says you helped in the fight today." Stoick explained and Jack weakly frowned. "He helped me really. Hic jumped in when I got cornered." Stoick nodded, "He told me. I understand that your new to Berk and recently moved in on your own." Jack agreed, "That's true sir." Stoick continued, "I've also been informed that your family is friends with Principle Moon." The teen nodded, "Yes sir, our families go way back. He's a good teacher and friend of my Aunt and Uncles." "He's a good friend of mines as well" Stoick explained, "once a politician himself."

Stoick now put his hands behind his back. "And I do hope you'll understand that I ask you not to abuse this connection." Jack frowned, "Sir?" The mayor continued, "My son has lived in Berk his entire life and I'm proud to say he hasn't been in one fight. Until today." The man's voice deepened into a more threatening tone. "That being said I'd appreciate it if you'd keep some distance from my son." Stoick ordered and Jack's eyes widened at his words. ""Whoa, wait, what? Sir, forgive me if I sound rude, but have you talked to Hiccup about this?" Stoick frowned, "Please understand son that I'm looking out for my boy. I believe this separation would be in your best interest, as well as your parents, Mr. Moon and Mr. Black." Jack stepped forward, "Sir you really shou_" Stock cut him off. "I will also remind you that I'm allowing you to stay in my town under improper parental supervision. Although you are 18 you are still viewed as a teen in berk. The matter has been over looked thanks to your parents, Mr. Moon and Mr. Black, but if actions like this continue I will not hesitate to review it personally. Do I make myself clear?" Stoick stared down at the teen who glared up at him.

Jack tightened his fist and bit his bottom, holding in the words he so wanted to say. His stiff body loosened as he stepped back. "Crystal clear sir," he smirked not hiding his anger and annoyance. Stoick nodded, "Good. Gobber take him home." Gobber nodded as Jack got in the car. On the drive home Jack kept his eyes open and faced the window. He couldn't see the passing scenery and for the first time in a long time, that actually bothered him. But the ligt caress of the blowing wind, from the cracked window, helped calm him down. Gobber looked at the teen through the rear view mirror. He sighed, "Don't take it the wrong way lad. Stoick's just_" Jack interrupted. " I know what he's doing. I just think he doing it the wrong way, " he mumbled. The driver gave another sigh, "I agree with ya there laddy. I agree with ya there."

When Jack got home he was greeted by Pitch at his door. "First a rousing adventure in the mountains, now rough housing at school. I do hope your not going to make this a regular thing." Pitch chimed and Jack groaned. He rolled his eyes, "Oh come on! What you gonna bitch at me too?! It wasn't like I went up and punched the guy! He and his merry band of look a like drowns cornered me and kicked my ass. Excuse me for trying to defend myself," He exclaimed. Pitch gave a weary frown, "Jack." He spoke calmly to get the boys attention. Jack ignored the attempt, "I'm sorry for apparently getting help from someone when I didn't think I had any one that would!"

"Jack," Pitch's voice was stern and clear.

"So I'm just suppose look over the fact that I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY HAVE MY BACK and I can't see him, cause of his_"

"JACK!" Pitch exclaimed.

The teen snapped still and faced his current guardian. He was silent for awhile, as if frozen in time. He sighed and leaned against the door with his head back. "Sorry... I shouldn't have shouted...or cursed" He stared sliding down the door, pinching the brim of his nose. Pitch walked over to him. "What happened after the fight?" Jack turned his face slightly to face him. "Hiccup's dad said I should stay away from Hiccup." He explained. "And?" The older man asked knowing there was more to it. Jack was quite for a moment and signed, " He threatened to kick me out the house of I didn't listen." Pitch was silent for awhile as well. He placed a hand on the boys head, "Though I do not agree to such actions, perhaps the mayor is right. Some time apart might benefit you both."

Jack now sat with his elbows on his drawn up knees. "So you think I'm trouble too? That I should give up on the guy?" Jack frowned as Pitch sat next to him. The business man shook his head, "I merely mean for a while. Give the two time to work out their family problems, and when Hiccup comes to you give him the comfort he asks." Jack kept his head down thinking about Pitch's words, much to his annoyance he knew the man was right. He clinched his fists and bit his lip once and nodded. "Okay," He agreed Pitch patted his shoulder in reassurance. Jack released his remaining frustration through a sigh, "I'm all out of focus. My emotions are wacked and my scenes are off." He rubbed his eyes and face tiredly. Pitch stood silently, "Come along." Jack lifted his head in surprise, "To where," he asked. Pitch dusted off his black pants, "To retrieve your focus," He smiled.

Well there you have it guys! Stoick in all his fatherly glory! What do you think? Did I go to far with Stoick's order? Was he in the right was in the wrong?
