[This definitely isn't the right time for an argument, so Jack accepts, just for today, to avoid the subject. He prepared this little thing to make him feel more appreciated, no point in screwing up now. That's also why he keeps pushing back the warm feeling that took over his body after their flight - he can't let it escape and make Hiccup uncomfortable. It feels shitty to hide this from his best friend, but he doesn't want to lose this bond either.
It takes him a second to react to the toast, the brush of their hands making him freeze and shiver and the same time. So much for suppressing these feelings! But never mind that, Hiccup is blushing and thanking him and saying he actually likes this - approval, fuck yeah! Jack's expression quickly changes to one of delight, happy as hell for having done something well for a change.]
Any time, you know it. [He just stays there for a moment, smiling at Hiccup like fool, until he realizes he's staring and turns his head to admire the colorful lights. Wait, are his cheeks a bit red too or is just part of the magic of the room? Jack takes a swig of the pumpkin juice, reminding himself nothing is going on and this is just more of their hanging out together. Yeah, there. He can talk like he normally does.]
Do you know why I suddenly remembered this room? I was trying to copy the colors when I was practicing the spell to make those... you know, banners I put up during the match. [A beat.] ...did you see them?
