[Hiccup takes a moment to admire the colours going through the stained glass window, before he finds himself grabbed around the chest and his hair ruffled. A minor twinge of annoyance goes through him, since that's what his uncle does when he belittles him, and he can't help feeling a bit of disappointment swimming in his gut when Jack simply calls him his friend before he shakes it off. Of course they're just friends. The feeling of Jack pressing up against him was just a fleeting thing, just to get them through the window.

That was what Hiccup kept telling himself anyway.]

I wouldn't say I'm the best flyer. [He inclined his head and rolled his eyes.] Gryffindor's Seeker put up a good fight today, don't let her overhear you say that.

[He let himself enjoy the feeling of Jack around him before gently shrugging him off him and dismounting his broom, letting it hover for the other boy to do the same.]

So this is your special place, huh?

[When Hiccup denies his claim, Jack rolls his eyes too and groans. He would even facepalm if his hands weren't a bit busy at the moment. This is the one thing he doesn't like about his friend, his lack of self esteem.]

Do you always have to do that, goddammit?! Stop thinking so low of yourself! For fuck's sake, you just won a cup! You keep your own dragon, you tutor guys older than you, you... you don't think I'd lie to you when I say you're awesome, do you?

[Or does his opinion simply not matter? Jack sighs when Hiccup shrugs him off, telling himself not to take it personally, that's just how his friend is. But it's so... so... frustrating! Hiccup deserves a good shake, damn.]

Huh... I guess you can call it that? I don't come here often, it's not easy to reach. [He jumps off the broom and uses a counter-spell to de-attach the bag. As soon as it's on his hands, he tears it open on the floor to lay down its contents: some sandwiches, muffins and two bottles of pumpkin juice, which he opens with a quick wave of his wand.] I almost forgot about it, I've been spending less alone time since... well, since I have you.

[A bit embarrassed and with a sheepish smile, he hands Hiccup a bottle, holding his own up for a toast.] I know it's not exactly a party, but I hope you like it anyway. Congrats on your victory, Captain.

Of course I don't think you lie to me.

[Hiccup runs a hand through his hair with a small roll of his eyes, pursing his lips together. Jack was always adamant that he should take more pride in what he did, and he knew he should, but Hiccup wasn't boastful like the others from his village. There's not really much he can say on the matter that they haven't already argued about to tears.

There's no need for him to get upset at his best friend. Not when his body is still tingling from having him pressed so close.

Hiccup props his broom up against a wall and joins Jack on the floor, watching him pull things out of the paper bag. His cheeks tinge a bit pink when Jack says he hasn't been alone as often as he used to and he feels his chest swell with butterflies. It was true for him too. Before Jack, his attention was split between taking care of Toothless, his grades, Quidditch and helping others study. Well, it still was like that but now he had someone to break his attention away.

With a brush of his fingers against Jack's, he takes the bottle of pumpkin juice, lifting the neck towards the other boy's.]

Are you kidding me? This is the best kind of party. [His cheeks colour a bit more.] Thanks.

[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?

[The look of delight on Jack's face makes him lift the bottle of pumpkin juice to his lips to swallow some of it down before he fumbles with something, most probably his words, even though he could've sworn he felt Jack's hand tremble a little in a shiver against his. The way Jack continues to smile at him has him smile around the nozzle of the pumpkin juice bottle, leaning back on his hand and looking around the room at the lights.

He looks out the corner of his eye at Jack as he confesses that, unable to help chuckling into the bottle in a way that makes a noise. Hiccup leaned off his hand, running his fingers through his hair.]

Of course I saw them. I nearly collided with one of the Chasers because I was gaping like an idiot.

[The way he smiles should tell Jack the reason why; because I never thought anyone would do something like that for me.]

[Jack chuckles along at first, that noise being kinda funny, but soon it becomes full laughter when Hiccup clarifies what happened. He's laughing so hard, he has to put the bottle down on the floor before he drops it.]

I-I thought that you- haha- that you saw the Snitch!

[The warm feeling makes a comeback at the sight of Hiccup's smile, but Jack just keeps laughing. Why? Well, for many reasons, and not only because it's funny. He laughs because it makes him happy to see Hiccup smiling like that. He laughs because they're having some fun together like they should be. He laughs because Hiccup is one adorable dork and he's pretty much doomed. He laughs because he's realizing how doomed he is and he needs to hide it. He laughs because he needs to make his mouth do something else and stop the urges of eating the hell out of that cute smile. Such an idiot, Frost.

He takes a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking again.] Wait, let me guess: spelling mistake?

[He pauses in answering, watching Jack burst into full blown laughter, but he can't find an annoyance in him to believe that it's at his expense. He pulls his legs up, crossing his arms around them so that he could hide his face behind the one holding onto his pumpkin juice. He shouldn't be thinking that laugh is cute, shouldn't be thinking that he likes the sound or that he likes it at all. Butterflies swarm in his stomach with a vengeance and he takes another swig of juice to swallow the feelings down.

His dad hadn't liked his friendship with Fishlegs back when they were kids. There was no way in hell he'd approve of something like this. Then again, when had Hiccup ever needed his dad's approval except for when he was really young?

Hiccup goes to reply before he hiccups due to drinking too much pumpkin juice and presses the back of his hand to his mouth, looking back at Jack at the question.]

Actually no, surprisingly. [He shrugs his shoulders before he smiles shyly.] Nobody's ever done that for me before, so I was surprised.

[Should the hugging of his legs be taken as a defensive stance? Is Jack making Hiccup uncomfortable? Sounds paranoid as hell, but he can't help it. There's always that worry at the back of his mind - what if he says something wrong? What if he gets a little too touchy? What if he slips and Hiccup finds out? He doesn't want to screw up (even if the technically already did) and lose his only friend.

That little sound almost starts a new round of laughing, but he manages to keep it in a chuckle, not wanting to make things worse. A hand moves to check out the sandwiches, looking for the one Hiccup likes. Jack made sure of asking the elves for it, those little buggers better have listened.]

Does Hiccup have the hiccups now?

[Some teasing doesn't hurt anybody, right? When he finds the right sandwich, he hands it to his friend, maybe the food can help with that little problem... though part of him doesn't want to fix it. It's cute, really. Hiccuping Hiccup, hehe.]

"Surprisingly"? Why, thank you, Haddock, for that vote of confidence. [He pouts a bit, but it's obvious he's playing around. He knows his spelling isn't the best.] Just so you know, I double checked. Hell, I TRIPLE checked. I wanted to support you, not to embarrass you. [He glances at Hiccup, noticing the shy smile, then looks down, a hand going to rub the back of his neck. Is it time for awkwardness? Oh yay.] I... kinda thought that would be the case, so... yeah. Sorry if it wasn't that colorful in the end.

[It's not really a defensive stance, not at all. Or at least not this time. But of course Hiccup doesn't know how to tell Jack that, even if he can see the look in his eyes. There's way too much happening in his head, brain going through scenarios and each of them ends worse off than the last. He appreciates it when Jack just chuckles instead of fully laughs at him, lips turning upward into a pout.]

Yeah yeah. Laugh it up, Frost.

[He rolls his eyes and sets the bottle down off to the side so he doesn't knock it over, hand coming up to rest on his knees. Hiccup gives a swallow lf breath, coming to a decision, and shakes his head, closing his eyes.]

It was plenty colourful. Thank you.

[And then he turned his head and planted a kiss on Jack's cheek.]

You're pouting. Oh Merlin, where is my camera.

[It's so cute! Jack's own brain wants to offer lots of scenarios too, but he keeps shutting it up. Can't lose control now, can't ruin what is a perfect friendly moment! They're laughing and teasing and hanging out like a good ol' pair of bros...

...who get kisses on the cheek.

Jack's stops breathing for a moment, eyes closing and his body shivering. Forget about butterflies, his stomach has giant spiders by now. He doesn't want to read too much into this, Hiccup is being thankful right? But guys just don't kiss other guys on the cheek. They shake hands, they pat their backs. Unless there's a wizard tradition he hasn't been told about?

His lips touched me. He takes a deep breath and turns to look at Hiccup in the eye, wondering how to proceed next. Jack usually doesn't mind taking risks, but this time... this time an incorrect reading can make him lose the most important person in his life. Maybe... an equally sweet but neutral gesture? To test the waters? Jack's hand goes to brush some hair from Hiccup's face. He's smiling gently, eyes a mix of emotions.]

You are welcome. You know I like doing things like this for you, right? [Hair taken care of, and after some hesitation that includes lower lip biting, Jack's hand cups Hiccup's cheek. Friendly enough but still a step above usually bro-tier gestures.] Can't promise my actions won't chase away those girls eying you lately though.

[There's so much hidden in those words. It's a joke because that's the only defense he knows in awkward situations. A way to test what Hiccup wants. And a good amount of truth too, even if he feels like a jerk for it - hypocritical, superficial idiots don't deserve Hiccup's company, and he can make sure they get that message.]

[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.]

[That reaction makes him drop the smile at first. Eyes closing, not looking, fisting hands? Jack is starting to think he did end up doing the wrong thing after all, because that's not how someone comfortable with a situation acts. But then Hiccup is joking too, returning the touch, and Jack can feel his control slipping. There's nothing wrong with making a bit more of this situation, right?

...Right?]

No need to waste your stick like that. One word and I'll take care of them like I did with your cousin.

[His eyes follow the tongue and he gulps - there's this huge urge to jump and take those lips for his own, and considering how he's about to lose it, he would've done just that, but there's a little thing stopping him.]

...you're trembling. [His hand leaves Hiccup's cheek to hold the hand cupping his, fingers closing softly around Hiccup's, trying to be comforting. Jack could be an egoistical shit sometimes, but this is his best and only friend and the only person he puts above anything else. Above himself.] I don't want you to be uncomfortable. Should I stop touching you?

[His voice breaks when he asks that, his insides turning, the fool side of his brain protesting about that offer. He doesn't want to stop touching Hiccup... but he wants to lose him even less.]

Edited (reading comprehension i don't have it) 2013-12-15 16:44 (UTC)

No!

[As soon as the urgent way he says that one word leaves his mouth, Hiccup clams his lips shut, overbite digging into the bottom one and his eyes closing again. Damnit. He swallows again, Adams apple bobbing on his neck.]

I...I mean...I'm... [Come on, Haddock, think.] I'm just a little cold. That's all.

[So lame. So, so lame. But it's not like he can admit that his stomach is doing twists at the idea of rejection, that Jack has been playing this whole friendship up for months and the moment he wants something more, there's a whole bunch of people watching and laughing at him. That was how it worked for nerds, right? Hiccup reached up to quickly wipe at a stray tear with his free hand, pulling his away from Jack's.

Fool.

What kind of fool would he have to be to believe anything could happen?]

I've just got dust in my eyes. Gimme a minute.

[Eyes widening, Jack can't help jumping a little at the exclamation. His hopes get stronger for a second, but soon Hiccup is making up excuses and he doesn't know what to think anymore.

Wait, is that... a tear? Good job, he did upset him after all. I truly make a mess wherever I go. His heart is sinking, his hand growing cold when he loses Hiccup's touch, guilt taking over his face.]

Oh, fuck - Hiccup, buddy, please don't cry. I'm sorry, really, I didn't mean to... [His hands move to grab Hiccup's shoulders, but he drops them before they reach their destiny. Obviously his touching is what made things go to hell, he shouldn't make them worse. He grabs his own neck instead, head dropping, not being capable of looking at Hiccup in the eye.]

I'm such an idiot. I promised myself I wouldn't say anything because I didn't want to ruin our friendship, but I still managed to make you uncomfortable. You just wanted to say thank you but nooooo I had to take advantage of the kiss. I'm no different from the jerks I always complain about. [He sighs,feeling defeated. He'll never have anything good in his life. Ever.] I'm really, really sorry. I only know how to make messes. You can leave if you want, I won't stop you.

Edited 2013-12-15 18:03 (UTC)

Wh-what?

[He looks at Jack with slightly wide eyes, watching the way his hands fall before they reach him. Hiccup reaches up and rubs the back of his hand under his nose, wiping it as he listens to Jack ranting. He...what?

What?]

I'm not crying.

[Well okay, that was a blatant lie, but Hiccup moves closer, scooting over slightly and avoiding the sandwiches still resting on the floor. He can't believe he's hearing correctly and he purses his lips together, rolling Jack's words over in his head. Taking advantage of the kiss he'd placed on his cheek...he felt his stomach flutter and then he snorted at Jack's utter ridiculousness.]

I'm not leaving. [Hesitantly, he reached out, placing his hand on Jack's knee. With a swallow of breath, he started leaning forward, hand sliding up the other boy's thigh until he was close enough to feel warm. His voice leaves him with a slight crack and hitch.] You're right, though. You've made a complete mess of me.

[Oh dear sweet Merlin that was cheesy as fuck.]

[Hiccup's hand on his leg makes him jump again, he didn't see that coming. He finally looks up, confusion written all over his face, hope slowly showing up again. He bites his lower lip while considering his options, fingers running through his hair while he thinks which of all these confusing messages he is getting from Hiccup is the real deal.

Jack doesn't do middle ground. It's all or nothing, his way or the high-way. He doesn't understand exactly what happened, but he knows one thing: he made Hiccup cry. So there's no more room for secrets. This internal struggling finishes today - Hiccup will either return his feelings or hate him, but Jack won't stay by him and make things awkward for his friend.

If he's going down, he's going down with honors.]

Well... I do like messes. Especially freckled ones.

[Moment of truth. Jack grabs Hiccup's hoodie with both hands and pulls, himself leaning in too, smashing their mouths together. He's been dying to do that forever, thinking how much he wanted to taste those lips... but now he's barely moving, unsure of what to do, inexperience making him fear mistakes. Time seems to stop while they're joined like that, but it actually doesn't last that much, Jack pulling back after a short moment, not to make things more awkward than they already are. He lets go of the hoodie too, dropping his hands to his sides, and looks at Hiccup with a very vulnerable expression, ready to take whatever is coming next.]

...but that's the only thing I can do well. Messes and trouble. [Why would you accept that in your life? Hiccup still has the choice of leaving before he accepts something that may make his life worse, in Jack's opinion.]

Edited 2013-12-15 23:56 (UTC)

[He finds himself being yanked forward by his hoodie and pulled into a kiss that makes his chest snag and his stomach fumble. His hand remains on Jack's leg, joined by the other one, and just as he starts to slowly move his lips, Jack lets him go. He opens his eyes, unaware that they had closed, and looks at Jack, noticing the expression on his face.

Gods he hated that expression.

His mouth tingles from where they were joined just a few seconds before and his tongue slides out, running along his bottom lip as he stays there, hovering near Jack for a moment before he pushes himself back forward and presses them to the other boy's again. His heart pounds in his chest, hope daring to push through the cynicism and lies that he told himself to make himself feel better.

Jack had kissed him.

One of Hiccup's hands moves up, cupping the back of Jack's neck and pulling him as close as possible. His lips move, drawing along the Slytherin boy's before he pulls back. He looks down between them before looking back.]

Did I ever tell you I have a thing for messes and trouble?

[Jack starts fidgeting while Hiccup just stays there hovering - the wait is killing him. He's about to say something, to apologize again, when Hiccup decides he wants a second kiss. Jack's lips smile before returning the gesture.

It's as if he was flying again, his body light and his mind free, only caring about the boy in front of him and the wonderful things he's making him feel, rest of the world forgotten. The hand on his neck makes him hum, and both of his move to grab Hiccup's hips and pull him closer too, thumbs rubbing between hoodie and t-shirt. Even with the clothes between their skin, it feels warm.

What he did before happens to him now, his lips starting to move just before the kiss is broken. He's still grinning like an idiot, resting his forehead against Hiccup's when he looks back.]

No, or I would've said something sooner too. [His hands squeeze the hips under them, he can't believe this is real.] Are you sure about this particular mess? Even if he made you cry?

[He feels a shiver run up his spine at the feeling of Jack's hands squeezing his hips, eyelashes fluttering for a moment as he sucked in a breath before he chuckled, moving his fingers through the hair at the nape of Jack's neck, resting his forehead against the other boy's.]

I wasn't crying, Jack. Just...relieved.

[Although there was still a lingering doubt inside, there was more hope bubbling to the surface. Green eyes flicked up to meet blue, tongue poking out to lick his lips before he bit the bottom one slightly.]

I already told you about all the messes and trouble I used to get up to at home. Merlin, it's like I was magnetically attracted to you.

[Hiccup's cheeks flush at the admittance and he laughs at himself, grazing a chaste kiss along Jack's lips before pulling back again, letting his hand trail from the back of Jack's neck to along his jaw, fingertips shaking slightly.]

This is too good to be true.

So I wasn't the only one panicking inside? Good to know.

[Yes, Jack can definitely understand relieved. No more hiding, no more lies, not more worry of losing his best friend. Sure, there may be some trouble in the future (wizards are kind old fashioned and Jack doubts they'll accept this, plus Hiccup's dad - ugh), but right now? Right now, knowing Hiccup returns his feelings makes him feel simply happy, a weight dropped from his shoulders.

His own cheeks flush a bit too - they may have kissed, but hearing the confession is still something else. His smile can only grow bigger, gladly returning the kiss and letting out a little sound of protest when Hiccup pulls back so quickly. He can feel Hiccup's fingers shaking, that can't be. He wants Hiccup to be comfortable, to relax and embrace this change. He covers the hand with his own, taking it to his mouth to kiss the palm.]

It is a little too much, isn't it? I bet I'm just dreaming again. [Eyes closed, he drops a couple more of kisses on Hiccup's hand, then puts it back on his cheek, nuzzling it.] Yeah, that has to be it. It's another dream where I can pretend is okay to have this kind of feelings for my best friend, ok to touch him like this like I've been dying to since who knows when... [He looks up at Hiccup blue eyes sparkling with glee, his words obviously some teasing so he can make Hiccup see how important this is for him too.] ...but I'll wake up, won't I? I'll wake up and I'll go back to hanging out with you while I can, making the best out of it before some pretty girl takes you away from me.

[His eyelashes flutter when Jack lifts his hand to his mouth to kiss the palm, curling his fingers so that the tips brush along Jack's cheek. His stomach clenches and his chest flutters, teeth nibbling his bottom lip. Hiccup pauses, releasing a small, shuddering breath.]

Yeah. This has to be a dream because what kind of guy like me gets to win the cup and then has his best friend return those weird feelings that keep him up at night?

[He scoots himself forward a little, just to be in Jack's space a little more, even with the way he was thinking to himself that they shouldn't. They were alone in this spot. There was nothing but light filtering through the stained glass. Hiccup pressed his forehead against the other boy's, turning his hand around so he could clasp their fingers together.]

I'll wake up and go back to studying and taking care of Toothless and turning girls down because I want him to wake up and realize that all this time I've been waiting for him because I've been too chicken shit to say it myself.

The smartest student with amazing flying skills, that kind of guy.

[Jack shivers to each of Hiccup's brushes, his breath stops for a second when he hears the other boy admit he's been kept up at night by this kind of fantasies too. A couple of idiots dancing around each other, too scared to say anything... and confessing when the school year is about to end. Could they be any dumber?

The scooting is definitely a good sign, and Jack decides to just go for it. Forget about foreheads, let's get the real closeness done in here! His hands make their way around Hiccup's hips to reach his back, and suddenly his arms close around his body, pushing the boy against himself for a hug. The sweetness of the moment is a bit spoiled by Jack's laughter, which he tries to cover by burying his face on Hiccup's neck. Damn, this boy can't get cuter.]

A chicken shit? Hiccup, you made the first move! You kissed me. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. [Another chuckle escapes him, and he shakes his head against Hiccup's skin, hands closing to grab the hoodie and make the hug a little tighter.] I really wish you'd stop looking down on yourself. You're wonderful, Hic. I like you just the way you are. And I believe we've already confirmed I have excellent taste, mmh?

[The hug makes him pause before he returns it, closing his eyes and enjoying the closeness. He'd always been afraid to touch Jack before, touchy about physical contact, afraid of screwing up their friendship to the point where it would be irreparable. He curled towards the other boy, resting his chin on top of Jack's head as his cheeks burned with a little bit of embarrassment.]

Eh, well I figure it's close enough to the end of the year that if you hated me for it, I could just walk away and spend the summer trying to forget about it.

[But he'd been trying to forget about the whole crush thing since he figured he liked Jack, and it hadn't worked so he'd opted for plan B. He chuckled a little at Jack's words, wrapping his arms around him as far as they would go.]

So...does this mean we're...?

[When the hug is returned, Jack relaxes, the last of his doubts finally leaving. Yes, Hiccup also likes him. Yes, they're a thing now. Yes, he's allowed to touch. The mere thought is enough to make his heart beat faster, and he can't help being proud of himself for having chosen this private spot. As big as Hogwarts is, there aren't many safe spots in it, no with gossiping people living in paintings on the walls.

Chuckling, he looks up with a grin on his face, which grows wider when he notices Hiccup blushing again. So damn cute - this boy will be the end of him.]

What do you think? [He leans to press another kiss on Hiccup's lips, moving his own a little bit this time before pulling away. His cheeks are a bit red too, admire the sight, Hiccup.] We can be whatever you want us to be.

[And they can do whatever they want to do. He doesn't need to fear losing Hiccup anymore, so why is he holding in? He starts pressing kisses all over Hiccup's face now, feeling his heart jump with each touch of lips to skin, warmth running through his whole body.]

End of the year, end of the year... [Kiss, kiss, kiss.] Geez, even before this, I had already thought about it, you know? [More kisses, yup.] I'm not supposed to know what having company is like, you gave me a bad habit. What am I going to do during summer without you? [One last peck on the lips again, then he rests his forehead against Hiccup's - he likes there, he has a close up of this green eyes and the cute freckles.] This recent development will only make me lonely and frustrated.

[The privacy is welcome definitely. Hiccup doesn't think he would've been able to kiss Jack on the cheek if they'd been in a more open area, let alone the last couple of kisses. He bites his bottom lip, but the teeth quickly go away in favor of kissing Jack again. Merlin, he never thought this would actually be happening. The reddening on the other boy's cheeks make him bring a hand up, brushing the back of his fingers along Jack's face before cupping the back of his neck with a chuckle as tiny kisses get peppered across his face.]

You could always come spend summer with me in Berk?

[The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. Hiccup scratches the back of his own neck as their foreheads are pressed together, feeling his body warming at each touch. He doesn't really know what he's going to do during the summer either, not now that they've let secrets out into the open. He glances off to the side and shrugs.]

Well, I mean if you'd like to.
