Sorry for not updating! I got caught up in school work.

Enjoy Chapter 6!

Hiccup uncomfortably shifted in his seat and looked at Jack. He noted that he could see brown roots at Jack's hair, and reminded himself to ask about it later. Jack, on the other hand, was debating whether or not if he should tell Hiccup about his attraction to the younger male. They weren't even a couple yet, and he barely knew him that much, but he just wanted to clear a few things out with the smaller teen. He decided he wouldn't tell Hiccup everything, right now he would just express what he wanted to say.

Jack cleared his throat and twiddled with his thumbs on the table. "Hiccup, I know I landed this whole," he gestured his hands to Hiccup, "'thing' onto you, but I don't know what it is about you. You're different from all the other people I've hung out with and I can't seem to bring myself away from you." Or control my heart around you, he added in his mind. "If you want me to stay away, or you don't want to hang around me, it's okay. I understand that," it's nothing I haven't experienced before, "but thing is, I just really like you. Hiccup, I really like you."

Hiccup sat flustered in his seat the whole way through Jack's little 'speech', and when he was done his mouth was slightly agape. Hiccup's mouth opened and closed again, Jack's last words ringing in his ears, "Hiccup, I really like you." Needless to say, our little dork was out of words.

"Are you playing with me?" He asked, turning his head to the side and protectively crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, I'm not."

Hiccup turned his head to look back at Jack. His voice was so sincere, and that's what confused him the most. "Jack, how can you like someone so easily? You hardly know me, and I hardly know you. How can you be so sure that I'm different to any other person you've ever hung out with?" Hiccup was trying so hard not to ask too many questions, or trying to sound like he was rejecting him. He didn't want to do that. He wasn't aiming to lose a friend.

Jack opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a certain colleague. "FROSTY!"

Jack mouthed '1 minute' to Hiccup and jogged to the front of the shop, back to a smirking Aster. "What the hell Aster? You just couldn't help yourself and ruin the moment."

"The shop's closing mate, get Hiccup home and go." Aster chuckled, completely ignoring Jack, and untied his apron.

"No. You can't just do th- Wait. How did you know it was Hiccup? Were you just waiting for me to get here to talk to him?!"

Toothless' head poked around the corner and grinned, "You would be surprised on what else we're waiting for." He winked and went to the staff toilet, leaving a flustered Jack and smirking Aster.

"Come on, get him home. It's late." Aster patted Jack's bed and went to the staff room to hang up his apron. Jack untied, and threw his apron at the back of the counter and went back to Hiccup.

He was packing up his books when Jack approached him. "Hey, I might as well take you home. Don't want you getting lost now, do we?" Jack teased.

Hiccup rolled his eyes and stood up, hanging his backpack on one shoulder. "Honestly, Jack. I can ride around this place on dragon blindfolded, and know where I'm going. But thanks."

Just as Hiccup and Jack were opening the door, Aster and Toothless approached form behind the counter, hand in hand.

"Hiccup!" Toothless ran over to him and had him in headlock, ruffling his hair.

"OW! Yeah, good to see you too bud. Haha, hahahaha Toothless, I need air…" Toothless let go of Hiccup and said boy tried to flatten out his puffy hair. "So, you work here?" He looked over his best friend's shoulder, "With Aster? And Jack?"

Toothless nodded and held Aster's hand, but after a glance from Aster he bit his lip. "Hiccup, Aster and I are-"

Hiccup held his hand up in a knowing gesture, a smile on his face. "And I'm happy for you. Thing is, what really surprises me that Aster swings that way."

Aster laughed, wrapping his arm around Toothless' shoulders, "Yeah. Kinda surprised a lot of people."

Jack stood by the open door, hands tucked into his front sweater pocket. "Guys, it's late. You can catch up at school tomorrow."

All three nodded and walked out of the door. Walking along the pavement were two pairs. One pair was holding hands, whilst the other stood a small distant away form each other.

ooOoo

When Hiccup did manage to get home, he was only in for a couple of seconds when he was attacked by a small bundle of blonde to the floor. "Hey Hic!" The girl smiled, sitting on Hiccup's stomach.

"WOAH! Camicazi? Wait, but that means…"

"Hiccup?" A familiar voice came from around the corner, a smiling face. Blonde hair swept over her left eye, always in a braid and those blue eyes that always seem to comfort him in his time of need.

"Astrid!" Hiccup exclaimed, happy that she was finally back from her trip.

The two blondes hugged Hiccup, who was still on the floor. All were happy that they were home at last.
