ONWARDS NOBLE TRAIN WRECK!
As Hiccup pushed the door open, he could fully understand why he always avoided this place. Bright colours and screaming kids had never really been his thing. But then again, he had made a deal with his best friend. He'd show up for his friend's little sister's birthday party, and the other would fill in for him at the meeting for the University's Shadow cabinet group. Looking around, the brunette scowled at the sheer amount of sweets on display, and the arcade games being played by the young children. A ball pit was set to one side of the spacious building, with a bored looking attendant, grey and blue hair cropped short, tanned arms folded across his bright pink shirt and a scowl was planted on his face.
Speaking of his face... was that paint?
Hiccup shook his head and looked around for his friend, and spotted the blonde at a large table. Walking over (and dodging the mass of kids that were clearly on a major sugar high and had created an impromptu game of tag) Hiccup smiled and waved.
"Hey Astrid! Where's the birthday girl then?" Astrid turned to the smaller man and smiled, slender arms folding across her blue shirt.
"She's over there with some kids trying to win a game of some sort. I didn't really hear her over the screaming and the weird little urchins trying to get money for something or other. She's been good though, hasn't eaten many sweets and she seems to be taking this birthday thing a little more seriously than a 6 year old should." she laughed and Hiccup smiled.
"Taking after her big sister then!" Hiccup grinned before yelping as Astrid punched his arm. "Ow! Why would you do that?!"
"That was for insulting me!" Hiccup rolled his eyes and Astrid laughed. "Look lively Hiccup! You know she loves your company."
Hiccup smiled and looked over to the small blonde, who was trying to hit one of the mechanical otters that popped up. The large hammer looked almost comical in her tiny hands yet Hiccup couldn't help but cringe. Yup. Definitely taking after her sister.
"I don't think kids should play the games that involve hitting things. They tend to develop the habit in older years." that earned him another punch to the arm and Hiccup stumbled before holding up his hands. "Okay okay I get it! Stop hitting me!"
Astrid laughed and smiled as her sister ran over to Hiccup.
"Hiccy! You came!" Hiccup smiled and ruffled the small blonde's loose hair.
"Of course I came! Would I miss my favourite blonde's birthday?" Hiccup laughed as the small girl stuck her tongue out at her sister.
"Hiccy likes me more than you!"
Astrid laughed and crossed her arms.
"Hiccy's my boyfriend! Be my boyfriend for the day Hiccy!" Hiccup blushed and looked at Astrid who shrugged, biting her lip to stop herself from crying with laughter.
"You know what? Alright princess!" the girl laughed and threw her arms around Hiccup's middle, causing the teen to stagger back slightly.
"YAY!" grabbing hold of his hand, the energetic girl dragged him off to a shooting game so he could win her a prize.
"Uh I don't know how this'll turn out for you Emily, I'm not a very good shot." Emily laughed and jumped on the seat she had climbed onto, grabbing the arm of his sleeve she grinned at him.
"Just try Hiccy!" Hiccup sighed and handed a token to the little golden man named Sandy behind the stall.
The first shot missed, as did the second but the third managed to get something, and a large brown monkey was handed to the small blonde, the man in gold smiled widely at Hiccup who smiled and thanked him, knowing that the shot didn't win a large prize. Emily dragged him around, showing off her monkey that she had named Hic, before dragging him toward the ball pit. As Emily jumped in, Hic safely stored with Astrid, Hiccup was pulled backwards, falling backwards into the ball pit and surrounded by the multicoloured balls of painful plastic.
Struggling upright, Hiccup came face to face with a white haired male, a younger boy latched onto his back with what seemed like a deathly tight grip. Unfortunately for Hiccup, who had been staring at this strange boy, a blue shirt hanging off his slim frame, Emily had spotted the boy and his hitch-hiker, deciding that she too wanted a ride had launched herself at Hiccup's back, causing the boy to fall forward again, a yell escaping his mouth as kids all piled on.
"OK kids! Here's a lesson for you! Ball pit fight!" came a voice and the kids all scrambled up to start throwing the balls at each other.
Hiccup groaned, his neck hurting where Emily had grabbed him, and his rib hurt from the balls that were pressed painfully into him. Looking up he noticed a pale hand in front of him, and green eyes looked up to find the white haired male smiling at him, now childless.
"You alright? I know from experience that hurts."
Hiccup stared, this man was…beautiful. His white hair was messy, yet looked styled and vivid blue eyes watched him. His lips had a mischievous smirk on them before a click in front of his face made Hiccup blink and blush, realising he hadn't replied.
"Oh! uh.. sorry, kinda zoned out there." a sheepish smile made it's way onto his face and the white haired man laughed
"Don't worry, so long as your alright."
Hiccup took the hand, and noticed that his hands were cold to the touch, as if he'd been outside with his hands in cold water.
"Yeah i'm uh.. I'll live." he finished lamely while rubbing his sore neck.
"Oi! Frostbite! Your turn!"
They both looked toward the voice and Hiccup saw the sulking attendant from earlier watching them. Hiccup looked down and realised he still held the other's hand and jumped back, a blush forming on his cheeks.
"Hiccy!" Hiccup turned to see Emily behind him who looked awkwardly at him.
"What's up princess?"
The male behind him smirked and took the other male's position beside Hiccup.
"Hiccy I cant be your girlfriend now." Hiccup raised his eyebrows.
"Why not?" Emily flicked her hair off her face and pointed to the boy who had been on the white haired man's shoulders.
"He asked me and he's funnier than you. He said he liked my pretty necklace." Hiccup tilted his head slightly.
Dumped by a 6 year old.
Ouch.
"Oh! Well! You tell him if he hurts you he'll have me to deal with!" he said jokingly, the man beside him laughing heartily.
Emily smiled and hugged Hiccup and kissed his cheek.
"Your still the best Hiccy!"
Hiccup smiled and stood up again before noticing the laughing male beside him. "What?"
The white haired man wiped his eyes, breathing deeply.
"Oh man! You just got dumped by a 6 year old! Birthday date?"
Hiccup blushed and smirked.
"Yeah well, she wasn't my type anyway."
The white haired man folded his arms, leaning back against the netting of the ball pit.
"And what? Her sister is?" Hiccup blinked and looked over to Astrid who was grinning at them, and gave a thumbs up. Hiccup turned back to the male, mortified, as a blush crept up his cheeks again. How his face hadn't caught fire was a mystery.
"Uh.. no.. um not quite." Hiccup rubbed the back of his head and shrugged. "Don't really swing her way."
The other smirked, and looked into the ball pit, gently throwing a blue plastic ball that had fallen out in, managing to catch the boy he'd brought in's head, causing another free for all plastic ball fight.
"I know that feeling!" Hiccup chuckled and looked at the male's now visible name tag.
"So uh.. Jack, how long have you been working here?"
Jack turned to face him, confusion on his face before he realised he wore a name tag, and blushed.
"Oh eh.. not long. This is my first birthday party working. Not a fan of bright colours. Kids I can deal with but when screaming and on a s-"
"S-U-G-A-R
JUMP INTO YOUR RACING CAR
SO SUGAR RUSH!
SUGAR RUSH!
S-U-G-A-R
JUMP INTO YOUR RACING CAR
SO SUGAR RUSH!
IT'S SUGAR RUSH!"
Jack scowled and glared at the speakers, that were now playing a lively J-Pop song, that clearly irritated the white haired teen.
"Song says it all. Would you believe that the man who owns this place is married to a dentist?"
Hiccup laughed as the other male's eyebrows went up, a grin settling on his face.
"Well I suppose it's one way to make sure you stay in business." Hiccup smiled and took a step back, wincing as his ankle twinged. Jack noticed and his smile faded.
"You alright?" Hiccup smiled gently and nodded.
"Yeah just stepped awkwardly." he said, not willing to tell him about his prosthetic.
Jack smiled gently before looking behind him and his blue eyes widened and he pulled Hiccup directly in front of him.
"Ah fuuuuhh...z balls." Hiccup raised an eyebrow and a smile began worming it's way onto his face.
"I'm sorry what?"
Jack shot a look of pure exasperation at him and Hiccup folded his arms. "What are you doing?" he asked as Jack knelt slightly, about to turn to look when Jack grabbed his wrist.
"No don't!"
Hiccup's smirk faded and he watched Jack stare at something behind him. Jack winced and stood up.
"Please don't leave, no matter how weird this gets." Hiccup nodded, and suddenly a tall black haired man stood next to him.
"Jackson I've been looking for you babe!"
Jack scowled at the man and folded his arms.
"Your not supposed to be here Pitch. Or near me remember."
The man, Pitch, glared slightly, ignoring Hiccup's existence, and leant closer to the white haired man.
"Oh you'll be begging for me by the end of the day snowflake." Jack smirked, eyes sparkling slightly.
"I think my lovely boyfriend would have something to say about that, wouldn't you Hiccy?"
Hiccup blinked as Jack's arm went around his waist, and his head was resting on his shoulder. Yet another blush rushed to his cheeks before he decided to just play along.
"Yeah, sorry mate. Frostbite's mine."
Pitch glared as Jack smirked and straightened up, arm still around Hiccup's waist.
"You just wait Frost. When this fish bone-"
"Hey!"
"Isn't good enough for you, you'll be on your knees for me." Jack grinned.
"I highly doubt that. Now leave Pitchiner. Before I have to call the kangaroo. We both know that's not pretty." the black haired man glared again at Hiccup before turning to leave.
A kid being caught in the headlights, the colour seemed to drain from his face, and he fell over trying to get out the way, his hand catching on something on the bottom of an arcade game. Jack sighed and let go of Hiccup and helped the kid up.
"It's ok, don't cry. He's gone now. Tell you what, why don't you join in with the kids in the ball pit? It's fun!" the kid sniffed and nodded, jumping into the pit and not even a minute later, he was laughing again.
"Well darling, Wanna tell your new boyfriend what that was about?"
Jack blushed and rubbed his head.
"That... that was my ex. Not very fun. Not very nice either."
Hiccup ahhed in recognition and he smiled, Jack's uncomfortableness making him smile.
"Well! That was pleasant but I need to go to my friend." Hiccup turned to walk away when Jack shouted after him.
"Hey uh. how about a drink? On me. As a thanks for that. I really appreciate it."
Hiccup smiled and turned to look back at him.
"It's a date." Hiccup laughed as Jack's mouth opened and shut, before walking away and grinning to Astrid.
Maybe he'd start to like this place.
