New Beginnings (Hijack)

Part 11

Love you all xxx

Jack sighed as he got out of his car in the freezing cold. He grabbed his art portfolio and supplies that he was used to lugging around by now.

The light suddenly caught on his brand new ring, giving it a glimmer for a moment and Jack smiled as he stared at it.

Hiccup had indeed followed through and gotten Jack a beautiful silver ring that had a snowflake engraved on it. Inside the band, Hiccup had engraved the words "Come What May". When Jack begged Hiccup to tell him how he did it, Hiccup finally admitted that Gobber not only owned a restaurant but was excellent at making jewelry and other cool artifacts.

Jack stared at the glistening ring and almost forgot that he was running late for class he was so captured by it.

He suddenly felt something cold and wet collide with his neck and he yelped, turning around to see who the culprit was. He glared playfully as Pascal came over with Baby, their arms entwined and looking playful.

"Hi Jack!" Baby said happily, "How was your holiday?"

"Best ever." Jack admitted, smiling, "Yours?"

She sighed; "I only stayed with the family for a bit, but Pascal and I made a wonderful dinner down here and Flynn came over so we had fun!" she smiled.

Jack nodded and then decided to head on inside.

"So..." Baby asked, grinning wickedly, "Was my work appreciated?" she asked.

Jack looked at her funny until he remembered that it was she who had designed Hiccup's ring, "Oh yeah!" he smiled, "Thanks a million! He loved it."

She clapped happily, "Yay!"

"He even got me one." Jack said, happy to show off his promise ring.

Baby gushed at the ring, oohing and awing while Pascal rolled his eyes. All the mushy stuff wasn't quite to his liking really.

"Oh good!" Flynn yelled as he ran to catch up to them, "Glad I found you guys! I have great news!"

"So does Jack!" Baby squealed, shoving Jack's hand in Flynn's face. Flynn blinked a couple of times with wide eyes when he finally noticed the ring and smiled at Jack.

"You engaged?" he laughed.

"No!" Jack immediately replied, laughing, "No, it's just...me and my boyfriend got each other promise rings for our one year anniversary during break." He explained.

They all walked in when Pascal finally asked Flynn what the good news was.

"I got us the place we wanted to film in." he said excitedly, "Booked it for a couple of weeks and got a huge deal!"

Baby jumped up and down happily and Pascal did a cheer to himself.

Jack nodded happily and thought about how he desperately needed to clean his guitar a little now.

"How's the song looking?" Flynn asked, "After school do you think we could go over the video?"

Jack nodded to him, "Yes, please! I want this to make a gazillion hits on YouTube." He admitted. He also really wanted it to be special for Hiccup.

"Sounds like a plan, man I can't wait." Flynn said happily as they all walked into class to find their usual spots in the back where they could joke off and get their work done as a group.

Jack sat down, happy for once to be a part of something. As he got his things set up he couldn't help but look down at his ring once more and smile. His stomach clenched thinking about how much he already missed Hiccup. He was so used to break involving seeing him almost every day and spending time with him and now Hiccup was an hour away at school. He ached to see him and knowing that he wouldn't for weeks on end was killing him.
