[ ... oh. oh, when Katniss said that Hiccup was probably worried about him after his sudden disappearance, Jack supposes he hadn't really... taken it seriously. no one has ever noticed his absence, much less taken an issue with it, and it— does something strange to his chest, makes his ribcage feel too tight around the fluttering of the magic inside it, and this is absolutely not helping with what he ran away from in the first place. he left the city to get his head on right, not to continue getting himself tangled up in some awful emotional knot about Hiccup. even if that's exactly what's been happening since he left.
god, he's seriously the worst. the only reason Hiccup will still be friends with him, still let him stay in the house when he comes back will be because Hiccup is too nice for his own good. Jack can't explain, and he doesn't know how to be reassuring. given that — the only thing he can think to do is drag this towards something he feels more comfortable with. even if that makes him a complete ass. ]
[He gets that notification for a text. From Jack and his chest tightens. How long had it been? A couple of days? A week maybe? This is the first sign that his friend is alright and it's reassuring just to know that much. A smile lifts on his face, before he's even opened the message, warm and relieved as he sighs.
And then he reads the text — ]
audio. enjoy more of his voice BECAUSE NO FUCK YOU JACK
I'm gonna take that as — [CLEARS HIS THROAT gonna give his best Jack impersonation]
Yes, Hiccup, my favorite Viking pal in the world, I'm totally okay, thank you for asking and busting your ass in trying to find me while I frolic carelessly through the clouds.
Okay, that's — [Cue some light laughter adorable and high-pitched ohoho, talking between the chuckles.] Alright, I might actually ... see a little bit of that one. It actually looks a bit like my nose.
text. he chose to stay, he has to deal w the consequences

[ he can picture the stupid smile Hiccup would have right now and it... makes Jack want to kiss him goddamn it why is this happening. at least that jars him enough to make him think that he should be sure that this isn't giving the wrong impression: ]
i'm not coming back yet by the way
[ and he is CLOSING THIS CONVERSATION GOOD DAY SIR. ]
[He gives a frowning pout when he reads that last message. He's certainly been on quite the message seeking him out this week, only to find Jack's still apparently keeping his distance for some unknown reason. Sighing, he'll stick to the texting method this time.]
That's okay. I'll just have to be the one to bring you back then.
