[ sincere though it may be, the statement gets a snort of laughter from Jack. proximity to him just as he is will hardly freeze anyone to death, it's just that what Hiccup says is such a ridiculous thing to hear. when it comes from you, like the coldness in Jack is anything different. god, he's so fond. ]
The fact that it came from me's not going to help you when you wake up with pneumonia, you know.
[ laying his head down properly, he relaxes into the mattress with a soft sigh and lets his eyes flutter shut. he doesn't know if he'll necessarily sleep or just take time to rest half-awake while he waits for Hiccup to drift off, but he does know that if he keeps his eyes open then all night he'll be laying here quietly strangling the urge to kiss Hiccup. as long as he doesn't look, doesn't see how close they are and how easy it would be to just lean forward and do it, there's no itch to do something incredibly stupid and impulsive.
he doesn't curl in close to Hiccup or reach out to him with anything more than their joined hands, but he doesn't hold himself away either; he just lets himself be positioned naturally by Hiccup, or the dip in the mattress, or whatever is the most comfortable way his body settles. ]
