Runaways

Chapter 1

Hiccup was sure that his Dad's head would explode any minute now. His face was red, hands clenched into fists and his eyebrows built an angry 'V'. His mouth was pressed in a thin line and last but not least was his jugular vein throbbing. Needless to say: it looked completely stupid. Hiccup would have laughed if the situation hadn't been so serious.

"Gay?" his father spat "Gay?!" he took a step forward. Hiccup stood his ground. Soon his Dad would break into laughter, hug his son and tell him it was alright. He would tell him that he was his son and that he couldn't less. Hiccup was sure of it. That's why Hiccup confessed his preferences to his Dad. He was sure that he would be a little angry but he would be okay with it. Turns out he wasn't.

"No son of mine is a whiny fag!"

Hiccup's heart broke just then. His eyes found the ground. This was going terribly wrong. "I didn't choose this." he said.

"I always knew there was something wrong with you! I should just have given you up for adoption when I had the chance!"

Hiccup was fighting to hold his tears back. "D-Dad please I-"

"Your mother would be so disappointed in you Hiccup." his father took a step back. "I want you out. You have ten minutes. Get your stuff and leave."

"W-What? Dad! Please!" Hiccup grabbed his father's arm when the larger man turned around to leave. Tears were now floating down his cheeks. "You can't do this. Please!" His father grunted angrily and turned around. His fist met Hiccup's cheek. Hiccup sprang back surprised. His hand went up to his cheek. When he took it back, it was bleeding. He looked up at his father. He had just hit him. His own father. Hiccup turned around and went up the stairs. He felt like he was in a daze. The feeling faded when he closed the door of his room behind him. He began crying again. He looked for a bag in his dresser and put everything he could find in it. He grabbed his schoolbag and put his drawing pad and wallet in it. He gathered together all the money he could find. Where would he go? He thought about going to Astrid or Tuff but he didn't want them to call the cops on his Dad. He threw his house keys on his former bed before he left for good.

It was cold outside. Cold and dark. Hiccup dug in his pockets and retrieved his gloves. He pushed his face further into his green scarf. He was just about to decide which park bench looked the most comfortable when somebody ran into him. He person looked around nervously and then back at Hiccup. "Please don't tell on me." He said before he hid behind Hic's chosen bench. Hiccup stood there confused when another figure walked up at him. "Have you seen a boy run this way?"

"Eh… yeah… he eh… ran the same direction you just came from." Hiccup said.

The man grunted frustrated "How does he do that?! Thanks kid" he stalked back the way he had come from.

Hiccup's gaze followed the man when he heard a relieved sigh. He turned around and saw the boy straighten up. He walked up to Hic and who stood under a streetlight.

"Thank you." he said with a big grin. The boy had snow white hair and stunning blue eyes. Two huge plastic bags were thrown over his shoulders. He was really handsome. "I'm Jack. I would take your hand but I'm kinda packed." The boy chucked until he saw Hiccups red rimmed eyes. "You okay?" he asked. He put his plastic bags on the floor. He eyed Hiccup's bags. "Where are you off to?"

Hiccup shifted nervously. "Eh…Eh I'm just eh you know…"

"I'm not even sure you know where you're going."

Hiccup looked at the floor. "I'm okay. I'll find somewhere to go."

Jack grabbed his arm. "No way. You're not sleeping on some bench. Bunny's gonna kill me for doing this, but I'm taking you to the den."

"The den?" Hiccup asked.

"The place I live. I'm gonna take you there. Do you need a hand with those bags?" Jack didn't wait for an answer and took his rucksack. It soon joined the bags over his shoulder.

Hiccup reached for his rucksack quickly. "What? No. For all I know you could be some crazy rapist or murderer."

"It's more likely you meet a rapist or murderer while sleeping on a park bench at night. It's really not safe. You helped me with that guy so let me repay the favour eh…"

"Hiccup"

"What?"

"That's my name. Hiccup Haddock."

"Well then Hiccup, let's get moving." Jack said before he started to walk away leaving Hic behind.

"Jack!" Hiccup screamed after him. "For god's sake. Wait up Jack!" he yelled and hurried after the white haired boy.

Jack stopped in front of the stairs that led down to a subway station. He looked around quickly before he crawled under the 'closed' sign that hung from one side to the other. "C'mon" he said as he went down the stairs to the abandoned subway station. Hiccup followed him cautiously. Half of the stairs were broken and there was no light. He reached out to find anything where he could hold on. He ended up taking Jack's sleeve. Hiccup let go quickly, blushing furiously. "I'm sorry. It's just really dark." he explained.

"It's okay, Hic." Jack said and reached for Hiccups hand "We're almost there." Jack took the first door on the right as soon as they reached the end of the stairs.

They came into a small dimly lit passage which led to other rooms.

"There used to be a little mall up there so there are a lot of storage rooms and stuff here." He explained.

"Where the bloody hell have ya been?!" asked a voice with a thick Australian accent. A tall figure came out of the shadows. His shoulder length grey-black hair was pulled back in a ponytail. He had light green eyes and tattoos covered both of his arms. A boomerang was attached to his belt.

"I was getting food. You told me to." Jack answered and pushed Hiccup past the tall man. Said man grabbed Hic's arm. "Hold on a second, mate. Who's that?"

"That's Hiccup. He's gonna stay the night."

"He's gonna stay the night? Stay the night? We have bloody rules Jack! You can't just bring all of your friends for a sleepover!"

"He needs a place to stay Bunny. Just like all of us did. Just like we did. Are you really gonna deny somebody a warm place to sleep. You should know better Bunny. Better than any of us."

Bunny glared at him. "Whatever. He's sleeping with you and Toothless. And get the kid a bloody blanket! Can't ya see how he's shaking?"

Jack smiled at him "Thanks, bunny."

"Yeah. Now get out of my eyes. I actually have to work, mate." Bunny said and stalked off.

"C'mon. I'm gonna show you where you sleep." Jack said and pulled Hiccup forward still holding his hand.

Jack's room was small and wasn't a room at all. It was one of the storage rooms. Shelves were on the walls and two mattresses lay on the floor only a small gap of floor separating them. One mattress was currently occupied by a tall teenager. He had tanned skin and black hair that reached his shoulders. He was dressed in black and reading a book. "Toothless." Jack said "I would like you to meet Hiccup. He'll be staying with us a few days."

When Toothless didn't answer, Jack continued to speak "I thought we could like push the mattresses together and share them. It'll be only for a few days."

Toothless looked up. "Whatever." he said and left the room.

"I don't feel very welcome Jack. Maybe I should go."

Jack grabbed his shoulders "No. Just no Hic. You're not going out there. Toothless is like that with everybody. I lived with him for a year now and I don't think he's ever said a whole sentence to me."

"Why is he like this? I mean there has to be a reason." Hic asked, becoming really interested in Toothless.

Jack shrugged his shoulders "He had been pretty banged up when Sandy found him. The only thing he ever told us was that he had been living with his foster dad who abused him."

Jack sat down on his bed. Well if you could call a mattress on the floor a bed… "You know what?" he asked making Hiccup look down at him. "I think he could use a friend and I think that you may just be the guy for that."

Hiccup arched an eyebrow "He looks like he eats guys like me for breakfast. I'm not sure he wants me to be his friend."

"He's not that bad." Jack said a small grin gracing his lips "And he likes fish if that's anything to go by."

Jack got up again and pulled a few blankets from the shelves. "I'm sorry but that's all we have."

Hiccup smiled "That's okay."

"Well let's get some sleep. I've got a long day ahead tomorrow!"

Hiccup nodded. Jack took off his clothes, safe for his boxers and got under the blankets. Hiccup who blushed imitated Jacks movements and lay next to Jack on the other side of the mattress.
