Trouble (Hijack)

Part 25

Hey everyone, this is pretty long chapter, but there is a surprise with Jack's mom being a badass.

Hiccup walked through the halls, ignoring the nauseating display of Prom announcements hung with glitter and ribbons all over the place. He walked past a booth that had flowers for sale with cards attached for people who wanted to ask someone to prom. It was kind of cute, but Hiccup thought it was sort of cheesy. Besides, he already knew that he and Jack were coming together. He'd brought it up during spring break and Jack had already agreed to it. Hiccup didn't know if Jack was still going to his yet, but he had a feeling Jack was just working up the courage to ask Hiccup. Not that he needed to, Hiccup would totally go anyways.

He smiled as he remembered Jack telling him all about getting into BCAD. He couldn't have been happier for Jack. He was so focused on what was going on with Jack though, that he didn't really find a way to tell Jack that he too had gotten into college. And luckily it was only an hour away.

Fergus was already in high spirits due to the fact that Changewing University was his alma mater. He was contacting all of his old fraternity brothers and college professors to get Hiccup in the door. Hiccup smiled thinking about how proud he was that Fergus was excited for Hiccup to be following in his footsteps. But when it came down to it, Fergus was his father in more ways than one.

He walked into his classroom, surprised to see he was actually very early and the first one there. He was about to sit down when he noticed a flower on his desk, attached to it was a notecard.

He narrowed his eyes and sat down. He picked up the flower and wondered if someone had left it here when he read his name on the card.

He opened the notecard and scrawled in very nice handwriting was a message for him:

Hiccup,

You are an amazing person and I've always admired you. I would be honored if you went to prom with me. I don't want to embarrass anyone so I'm only giving you my initials and a small clue as to who I am. If you have an answer for me, I'll be waiting for you after school in the Physics lab.

FLI

The first time we worked together on a project was in elementary school, I taught you how to make a catapult and you increased our grade by adding a new feature to it, it sent the egg over five meters.

Hiccup dropped the note and stared at his desk. He knew who this was and he couldn't believe it. He quickly put the flower and note in his bag before anyone saw it and took out his notes. He put his head in his hands, feeling horrible. He had no clue that one of his good friends had a crush on him all these years. He closed his eyes and prayed to gain back his focus before class started.

Hiccup walked into the physics lab and saw Fishlegs right away. He was writing on the dry erase board and making some corrections to some formulas.

Hiccup cleared his throat awkwardly.

Fishlegs turned around and smiled at him, "Hi Hiccup."

Hiccup frowned but did his best to put on a small smiled. He waved and looked down, "Fishlegs..."

"I assume you got my note." Fishlegs smiled.

Hiccup looked up sadly and nodded, "I didn't know you felt this way about me." He admitted.

Fishlegs shrugged, "It's not like I ever really said anything until now...but...yeah."

Hiccup looked up at him and put on a smile, "I'm really glad you're my friend, you've done a lot for me and..."
