Pairing: Human!Jack x Older!Sophie
Alternate Link: Here

“Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something—I think you’ll understand—When I say that something—I wanna hold your hand,” Jack sang softly, pressing himself against her back close, holding her tightly against him, and lacing his fingers through hers. Her heavy, panicked breathing was finally slowing down. Her muscles relaxed against him as she brought their hands to her lips. He continued to sing to her gently, softly, and it was much more like a serenade. Of course, if anyone knew Jack was a horrible singer it was Sophie. He sang to her every chance he could get. He himself couldn’t understand it, but it is what it is and he didn’t mind and clearly she didn’t either.

This wasn’t the usual song he sang to her. But he had heard the song playing from Laura’s computer the other day and it had been suck in his head since. Jack had always been a huge fan of the Beatles. Without them, music wouldn’t be what it was today. Although, most of the more popular stuff was crap, bubblegum, annoying—you get my drift. Jack Frost didn’t enjoy mindless, useless lyrics put in front of the same tune you heard in the song before it. But that was the popular stuff.

See, when you get to the underground stuff, that’s where it got interesting and deep and sometimes brought tears to your eyes if you heard them live because the music was just so profound.

But this wasn’t about music. It was about Sophie and it was about bringing her down from the first panic attack she’s really had in weeks.

Revert [Chapter Thirty Three]

——————————————————————————————

Jack was awakened by the jostling of the truck bed. Merida turned to Jack and pressed her finger against her lips, urging him to go back to sleep. She carried her bow and a quiver full of arrows. Jack assumed she was going to go out in the early morning mist to shoot some arrows into targets she had set up the night before. He groaned a bit and complied, falling back into a slumber.

What awakened him the second time was a strange sound. Like the voice of a child faintly beckoning. Jack sat up and looked around. Nothing. He stood up on the roof of the car and scanned the area. Toothless was sleeping, undisturbed. Jack spotted Merida through the mist. Clearly, he hadn’t been sleeping long before the sound. Then, there was a second one. The mane of red hair was disappearing into the forest. Jack quickly jumped off of the truck and ran after her.

When he caught up to her, he was breathless and she shushed him. The girl pointed to a glowing blue object on the ground. A… blue… wisp of smoke. As they neared it, another one cropped up with that strange calling sound that awakened Jack. Merida and Jack looked to one another.

“Will o’ the Wisp.” she whispered. “I told ye they show up around me.”

Revert [Chapter Thirty Two]

——————————————————————————————

Jack groaned from the backseat of Sophie’s car. Rapunzel, who took her seat up front with Sophie, snickered as she looked back at him. Jack was sprawled out on the back seat, taking advantage of it before he had to share it. Sophie opened her trunk and helped Merida shove her duffle bag, bow, and arrows in the trunk. When Merida opened the door, Jack rolled out of the seat and onto the floor.

“He gets carsick.” Sophie explained to Merida as the red-head climbed in the back.

“You can ride a dragon, no problem. You used to fly. But you get sick in a moving car.”

“Too low.” Jack nodded. “And flying is much smoother.

They settled and drove off. The drive was expected to take an hour at the most. Jack shouldn’t have been complaining. He really shouldn’t have. But he sincerely disliked being in a car. He wished he could have gone with Jamie, Laura, and Hiccup. He could have hitched a ride in the bed of Hiccup’s truck with Toothless. Or he could have ridden Toothless there.

Revert [Chapter Thirty One]

——————————————————————————————

Rapunzel was throwing a pool party. Well, kind of. When Jack thought of a party, he thought a ton of people and crazy antics. Then again, he’d seen way too many of those over the past three hundred years. Parties with hundreds of people and everyone was breaking things and falling all over each other but they all looked like they were having fun. At least this wasn’t crowded No, this party consisted of Jamie, Laura, Jack, Sophie, Hiccup, Merida, and Rapunzel. Oh, and Flynn Rider.

Sophie had no idea why Flynn was there. And she did not like it one bit.

Jamie said he had an inkling that she was buttering him up. Inviting him to her family’s rich home, a luxurious pool, delicious food. She wanted him to take her to see the lanterns. Every time she had come over, she asked Flynn about taking her. He refused each time. Her advances were starting to annoy him, though he was quite a gentleman. He cleverly tried (and always failed) to divert her attention to Jamie who could just as easily take her.

Revert [Chapter Thirty]

——————————————————————————————

Jack really had no idea what had happened between himself and Sophie. He knew it usually led to something much more and he wasn’t quite sure he was ready for that. He was scared because he had never felt anything like that. He knew it was supposed to be normal. Sophie assured him it was. And that it didn’t always lead to… other things.

They were both clueless how to go about it. Sophie, having never kissed anyone but Jack. And Jack, never having interest in furthering what he had with Sophie. He liked the chaste simplicity that they had. But it was just kissing, right? With… tongues and open mouths and not always on the mouth. The way he had seen teens and adults kiss, whether they were in love or not.

But the heat that stirred within Jack told him it wasn’t just that. You didn’t kiss like that because you loved someone. You kissed like that to… become closer. He felt vulnerable in that state. He felt wide open, wanting to let Sophie do whatever she wanted to him. And she seemed just the same.

The way she described it, it was another way of getting to know each other. They opened up to one another and trusted each other. She explained that it was just one of the ways to express your desire for your partner. It didn’t always have to lead anywhere. In fact, they didn’t have to go far if Jack did not want to. She was in no hurry, not by any means.

She liked the kissing. Even if it was sloppy and they were both probably really bad at it. But they didn’t have to do it again if Jack was uncomfortable. Jack couldn’t say he didn’t like it either. It was weird. And he wasn’t sure if he wanted to let go of who he was. Jack felt he was slipping away. His… childhood, he could say. He had been in a perpetual state of childhood for centuries.

Revert [Chapter Twenty Nine]

——————————————————————————————

It had almost been a year since Jack had become human. He could see several changes in himself. Sophie had pointed out that he had grown a little. They measured him and he was two inches taller than he had been before. His hair was hard to get the way it used to and keep it that way. He would get his hair cut and it would grow in just a month. He was thinner, which Jamie had pointed out was unhealthy. It was hard to keep up the habit of eating, though. He would feel hungry, but just push it aside until meal times. That was when humans were supposed to eat, right? And he actually had a hint of a stubble on his chin. Jack had never had facial hair before. It was weird.

Now, Jack had his green card. His almost-pass into citizenship. He didn’t get it until much later than he wanted to. It was difficult to get anything without it. Health insurance, a license, a car, social security. Why was everything so complicated?

Jamie tried teaching him how to drive. They sat in Jamie’s car in a parking lot. Sophie stayed well away from the scene. She insisted the Christmas Party was enough for her, thank you. Jamie was excited. While Jack was horrible and almost ran into several stationary objects, jerking the car and unable to figure out what PRNDL meant. Jamie tried to explain, but it did not help. Park, reverse, neutral, drive, and low. What the hell was the point of neutral and why did you even need a “low” shift? Turning was difficult. Breaking was worse. Eventually, Jamie kicked Jack out of the driver’s seat.

Revert [Chapter Twenty Seven]

——————————————————————————————

Jamie had concluded he had the stupidest people as friends. They were idiots out to get themselves killed. Although he was assured they weren’t in any lethal danger, there was still a threat. Why did he feel like a babysitter? Oh, right. He was the oldest. He had to take care of the children.

Jamie sat at Hiccup’s bedside a three days later. He had stopped by the hospital after work. Jack was there, frustrated he was out of work and needed to keep himself busy. Jamie was surprised to see him there. The hospital was a little too far for walking distance. He flew on Toothless.

Jack had cracked his sternum, fractured two ribs, and broke three. His torso was covered in bruises. He was given muscle relaxers and pain killers to treat his injuries. He was let out the same day he was checked in.

Hiccup was recovering from surgery. They cleaned out what was left of his leg and removed the charred flesh. He was going to be going through a lot of physical therapy. He was healing from the burns.

They weren’t sure what to tell the doctors. It was hard to tell them exactly what happened. How could anyone explain that a Norse god took Hiccup’s leg? It didn’t matter, either way. Jamie had no idea what exactly happened until Jack told him.

They were crazy. These boys were stupid and crazy and Jamie had no idea what to do with them. But they were smiling and laughing. Somehow, Jack had gotten Toothless in the hospital room.

Jamie had always been incredibly observant. Well, he had to pick up the habit when his little sister would get herself into trouble. She would wander off and he’d have to know where she was or see what she was up to. North had also taught him that it was an extremely important skill to ascertain. It would excellent to have a wonderlust and you could only really appreciate something when it was usually missed by the normal eye.

This made sure Jamie knew exactly what was up with his friends. Every body language movement was captured. Every lie was exposed. Everything they told him and everything they didn’t tell him was out in the open. And he knew just how important these details were. Jamie could know when someone was dodging telling him something.

He never pressed the matter, though. He’d keep to himself if they had lied or if they avoided a certain subject. They had their own reasons for keeping information to themselves. Jamie was never one to ask about it. Once, he did. And he had lost a very close friend. He learned privacy was a key and when someone realized you valued it, your friendship could only grow stronger.

——————————————————————————————

Jack spent the next two days distracting himself as much as possible. Back to work. Read the books he had got. Tried his hand at Jamie’s video games. Stop fidgeting. You might be excited for the party, but you’ll get nothing done if you don’t stop thinking about it. And you’re just confusing yourself when you try and make sense of what Cupid said. Stop it.

There was just so much conflict going on within Jack. It was clear to Jamie and Sophie, too. He tried to hide it. He tried his best to brush it all off. The night they were getting ready, Jamie took him aside and asked him what was going on. Jack tried to tell him it was just the party. He was anxious and anticipating the day ahead.

Jamie accepted that much. But when he tried to press further, Jack quickly changed the subject. When were they leaving? Should he wear his Jack Frost clothes for kicks and carry around his staff? Jack laughed and Jamie frowned, knowing her wasn’t going to get anywhere with the boy.

Jamie had worked out the time they needed to leave. 1:00 am would get them to Siberia by noon. He hoped. Jack shrugged. He really never paid attention to time or anything like that. He would just hop across the globe when it was time to collect Jamie and Sophie for the party. They usually were sleeping most of the time.
