Trouble (Hijack)

Part 12

Everyone continued staring for a few moments and that was when Jack lost it, "What are you doing?" he growled at them.

Punzie jumped a little and shook her head innocently.

"Punzie..." Jack moaned, trying to calm himself down, "Why didn't you knock?"

"We were going to spy on you two." She said innocently in a very quiet voice, "I'm sorry. We were only playing."

"Girls, what did you see?" Hiccup asked.

"We saw you two kissing each other." Merida said simply, shrugging.

"Were we bad?" Punzie asked nervously. She never liked making her brother angry.

Jack felt bad because he knew how sensitive Punzie was, he held his arm out for her and nodded, "It's okay, come on in and we'll talk about it."

The girls walked in and Jack and Hiccup found themselves sitting next to each other on the bed to look at their sisters. Both girls climbed on the bed to sit with them. Punzie crawled into Jack's lap while Merida sat next to Hiccup.

They were all silent until Merida piped up, "Mom and Dad get mad at me whenever I bother them while they're kissing. I'm sorry Hiccup."

He smiled at her and then suddenly realized the impact of her words. They were scared they were in trouble for interrupting them!

"Wait!" he suddenly said, "You girls aren't upset about seeing us kiss?"

"No." Merida said, narrowing her eyes, "When two people are in love, they kiss." She said simply.

"Yeah." Punzie added, "You weren't fighting or doing something you weren't supposed to."

Jack and Hiccup stared at each other in shock.

"So it doesn't bother you that we're both boys and that we were kissing?" Jack asked, smiling.

The girls looked at each other and giggled, shaking their heads.

"It's weird." Merida admitted, "But it's not bad." She said shaking her head.

"Yeah." Punzie laughed, "Besides, you prolly still think girls have cooties or something. Just like we don't like boys cause they have cooties."

Hiccup snorted and Jack rolled his eyes, shaking his head. He rested his forehead on Punzie's and smiled, very relieved that his sister loved him and accepted him no matter what.

"It's not exactly like that." Hiccup admitted.

"Then why do you like Jack?" Merida asked.

Jack grinned at Hiccup, "Yeah Hic...why do you like me?"

Hiccup narrowed his eyes playfully and smiled at Merida and Punzie, "Well...the first time I saw Jack, I noticed his eyes and his hair."

"They are silly." Punzie giggled as Jack tickled her.

Hiccup continued, "But then, we started talking and getting to know each other as friends, like you two."
Jack cut in, "We found that we both also liked each other as more than just friends, so right now we are dating to see if we want to become boyfriends."

"Will you get married?" Punzie asked excitedly, "Can we be your flower girls?"

Jack rolled his eyes but frowned suddenly, "Well...in a lot of places, we aren't allowed to get married, that is if we ever do. But that's a long time away for us. We still have to go to college."

"Why can't you get married?" Merida asked, shocked, "I want to be in your wedding!" she pouted.

Hiccup smiled sadly, "There are a lot of people who think that two boys or two girls being in love is a bad thing."
