[Hiccup cringes almost like he's expecting to get punched in the face for that cheek kiss. Guys don't do that to other guys. Guys are supposed to be tough and manly. But the thing about that is, Hiccup's never really been much of a guy. Not until recently, not until his growth spurt. It's not just the girls that changed their opinions about him, it's the guys too. They roughhouse with him, treat him like a guy instead of like he'll break if they even touch him.
He watches Jack's face, preparing himself for rejection, for laughter at his own expense, morbidly preparing the one liner to follow. Hiccup sucks in a breath as he feels Jack reach out, fingers brushing hair from his face and Hiccup forces his eyes to close shut with a shudder, unable to look at that gentle smile. His hands fist against his legs, heart hammering the inside of his chest. The hand cupping his face makes him bite his bottom lip, lashes opening slightly to reveal green eyes.]
Y-yeah, well, I think they're getting a bit tired of the stick I have to beat them off with.
[Sweet Merlin he sounds like a tongue tied idiot.
Hiccup finally manages to open his eyes and look properly at Jack, swallowing down a nervous bundle of bile in his throat. Trembling fingers reach up, tongue poking out to lick at his lips as he cupped it around Jack's on his cheek.]
