Of Hearts, Magic, and Wings (Hijack/Frostcup)

Chapter 3

A/N - Still no clue what I'm doing, thank you guys for holding on so far. Just a little reminder to vote and comment to make it easier for others to find this fic. Please and thank you! <3

A message to a friend - Broccoli, you will not like this ship. This ship appears throughout this entire story so this is probably not the right fic for u. I will make up for it by sharing a few vids u will like.

Hiccup pov

My brain just short circuited at that information, and I just stared at Jack for a full minute after that.

"...Hiccup?" Jack calls out tentatively.

"I just need a moment," I answer in a half daze.

Jack nods and pulls me closer in a hug, not really seeming aware of what he was doing.

When my brain comes back to full functioning, I take in my surroundings; I'm half sitting in Jack's lap, while he's hugging me around my middle. While my brain was rebooting, my body had unconsciously melted into him, despite there being only cold emitting from the winter spirit.

Despite my better judgement, I decided to just stay like that, letting the tiredness from the day take over, allowing myself to fall asleep in Jack's arms.

Jack pov

When I come out of my thoughts, I find Hiccup asleep in my arms, looking so adorable- wait, what !?

No! Stop it brain!

Do I like him? Like, in a romantic way, not a friendly way? 

I don't know, I'd have to spend some more time with him before I come up with an answer to that.

(Time skip to the morning)

When I woke up, I was lying  on my back, with Hiccup curled into a ball on my chest, practically melting into my non-existent heat. Normally, I would be overheating from any kind of warmth making skin contact with me, but this felt nice, even pleasant. 

I noticed the dragon, Toothless, sitting nearby, as if keeping watch. Now that I took a good look at him, the dragon could easily be seen as menacing and scary to the inexperienced, but to someone who was familiar with all kinds of spirits, he just seemed like a giant house pet.

"Hey, Toothless, right?" I called out to the dragon softly, as to not wake the sleeping Viking. "Come over here," I invited as the dragon nodded.

He padded over to where we were laying and curled up around us, providing more warmth to Hiccup, but not enough to where I was uncomfortable. I smiled at him, knowing that was most likely on purpose.

I reached a hand out, just above Toothless' head, but not quite touching, in a silent question. Toothless butted his head up into my cold hand and purred and the light cold. 

He's like a giant cat.

Suddenly, I hear a noise coming from the mouth of the cave. I jump up, grabbing my staff and brandishing it in the direction of the noise. 

"Oof... Jack!?"

Crap, I dropped Hiccup.

"Stay down," he must have heard some urgency in my voice, because he stayed down and didn't question me.

"Hiccup?" 

The source of the noise was an older man, with red hair, a beard, and blue scars painted across his left eye and right arm. (If you haven't realized yet, this is Dagger from rtte. I haven't seen all httyd seasons yet, so bear with me. Really just the movies and rtte.)

"Wha, Dagger!?"

I look down at Hiccup, "you know him?"

"Y-yeah, he's from my village."

"We're practically brothers!" the man, Dagger, exclaims.

Toothless snarls, as Dagger tries to get closer to Hiccup.

"Woah! Why is there a dragon!"

Hiccup puts a hand on Toothless' head, "It's okay," he says, more to Toothless than Dagger. "Toothless is my dragon. He won't hurt anyone unless I say, or they're an active threat."

"Okay..." Dagger eyes Toothless carefully as he takes another step closer. "And what's with the dude holding a stick?"

"This is Jack.... I don't know why he has a stick. Hey, you do realize we have a dragon, right? A stick is practically nothing compared to a fire breathing dragon."

"Don't be mean to the stick! Otherwise I can't use my powers!"

"Wait, what powers," Dagger pipes up.

"Winter spirit powers and all that," I wave my hand dismissively.

"Hold on, what !?"

"I'll fill you in later," Hiccup reassures him. 

"So... the stick is how I use my powers. I can shoot, make, and control ice, snow, and frost. Mainly create and spread for the frost. Oh! I can also fly, pretty much."

"Okay, that's a lot." Dagger looks at me like I hung the moon or something.

"So... Dagger, right? Why are you here?"

"Exploring, hunting, all that. I'm a dragon hunter, so just tryna find some dragons."

Hiccup pales and Dagger sees.

"Don't worry, I won't touch your dragon. Actually, if you travel with me, you can make sure that your dragon won't ever be in any danger from other hunters!"

"That's... not a bad idea, actually. Wait, can Jack come?"

"Sure, if he wants."

"Eh, why not. Not like I'll actually be missed anywhere."

"What, why?" Dagger asks.

"If nobody believes in you, they can't see, hear, or touch you. Pretty sad to those of us who don't have any believers."

"Well, that explains how we can see you. For Vikings, Jack Frost is a deity, or something like that."

"Oh, so that's why those other hunters could see me, if people up here have heard of me."

A/N - So I'm just gonna leave it off there. I'm on vacation down in Florida right now, and my brother refuses to share the TV. Which sucks, because I need to rewatch httyd to make this more accurate. YouTube only does so much for ya. The reason why it sucks is because my Grandma has Netflix, but I don't. So yea. Stuck down here, writing fanfiction on a Minecraft book when I'm not allowed on the computer because I don't trust my brother around physical copies of anything I worked hard on. Not making that mistake again. Enough about my ranting, see you guys later. (900 something words!)
