hans is keeping a close eye on his drinks this evening

[ingoodhans]

[ Forget store-bought shit, you know he used his parents' money to buy something really damn fancy. Like...... well, actually he's dressed as Joffrey from GoT. He didn't go as far as dyeing his hair or anything but. That crown. The outfit. It's clearly Westeros-style.

Hey, everybody already hates him so he might as well embrace it. ]

[icy]

I actually like that crown.

[ HEY THERE, ASSHOLE!BABE, have a dragon lounging on the wall nearby with a beer. ]

[ingoodhans]

Thanks. It was pretty expensive.

[ Living up to that asshole name, see? Well, Hans doesn't mean anything buy it. It's not like he made it himself or anything. ]

[icy]

[ What a ballbag. ]

Can I try it on?

[ Shiny shiny. ]

[ingoodhans]

Oh, sure.

[ He's not like, super attached. This stuff is totally beneath him. (Which is why he bought a $200 outfit? ]

Gathering gold for your treasure horde?

[icy]

As much as I can. Gold, stolen phones, bits of costumes ...

[ Ahw yea, sweetass fuckin' treasure. Totally balancing it on his head between those latex ears. ]

It's all hidden in a secret hiding place.

[ Spoilers, the secret hiding place is the airing cupboard, stuffed under the warm towels. ]

[ingoodhans]

Living up to your dragon name, I see.

[ He wants that back, y'know. ]

Hope nobody's dressed as a knight, or they might fight you for a princess or something like that.

[ Hans doesn't even watch Game of Thrones, he's just riding the fad. ]

[icy]

[ Hans will never see this crown again once Jack leaves. Maybe in two weeks' time at like, dinner. Or lunch.

Casually sitting on Jack's head. ]

Knights? I'll just eat them up, had a lot of practice recently.

[ Waggling his brows as he necks his drink. ]

[ingoodhans]

[ Snort. Hans is just. Gonna laugh. ]

So Hiccup is a knight? I thought he was a viking.

[ BRO CAN'T EVEN MAKE ELSA JOKES CAUSE THEY'RE NOT OFFICIALLY DATING... ]

[icy]

Oh, he is, him and his little manly skirt are running around somewhere.

[ SQUINTING ... because Elsa, yes. Things. ]

How're things with you and Anna?

[ingoodhans]

Cute. I guess he'll be slaying you later, then.

[ Hey, he can be supportive-ish. Elsa told him to stop lying, but it's only lying if he pretends to care, yeah? ]

We broke it off. We're still friends... I think.

[icy]

Unless I slay him first, he tends to like that.

[ Uhuhuuuu, gossip boys 101 here. ]

If Anna hasn't drop-kicked you in the face, I'd say you're good. So, are you and Elsa ... ?

[ingoodhans]

It sounds like you take turns. That's always good.

[ Hans chuckles. Like, yeah, he totally doesn't care. ]

Oh, no. We're not... together. Not seriously. We've got ground rules.

[ Which is to say, y'know, she's got him whipped and they hang out and enjoy the "benefits" of not dating. Hans is only very slightly bitter about the arrangement. ]

[icy]

Unsurprising. So what are they? The ground rules.

[ Are they fair or??? He's interested, okay. ]

[ingoodhans]

Well, not being "together" is one of them. Like, in a relationship. We're casual.

[ Yeah, she friendzoned him. ]

And what the hell's "unsurprising" supposed to mean, huh?

[icy]

[ Hans, the friendzone does not exist. ]

It's Elsa, of course she's set ground rules. You're the first not-quite boyfriend she's ever had, if I'm not remembering things wrong. Jesus, it's not even like you're an idiot she could push around if she felt uncomfortable, she's probably got a chessboard running up in her head every time you guys speak.

[ Mmm, beer. Take the wise Night Fury's advice. ]

If I wanted to date Elsa, I'd ask her outright. And then I'd say, "You're amazingly clever and funny, and beautiful, so please let me spend all my money on you".

[ingoodhans]

[ No, she literally made out with him and they had shirtless makeouts and then she asked to be "just friends." ]

She's smart, I know that. [ Hell, it's why he wants to date her. ] And trust me, she more than makes up for the lack of experience.

[ This is sound advice, though. Huh, maybe you're not so bad, Jack. ]

I've told her pretty outright that I want to date her. She's not big on flattery-- well, unless it's honest. But I can only pull that card so much.

[icy]

[ Then you're her bitch, son. ]

Me and Hiccup are just ... really honest with each other. It's kind of embarrassing sometimes, but it works. He acts like he's not big on flattery but he definitely is, he gets all pink around the ears and bites his lip ...

[ Heheh, cutiepatootie in his mind's eyes, oops. ]

[ingoodhans]

[ ding, ding, ding, right on the money. ]

I think I'd have to actually be with her to say "we're" honest with each other. But communication isn't a problem, if that's what you're thinking.

[ Hans makes a face. Could you not talk about your boyfriend, because Hans isn't sure he can do the same about Elsa without breaking some kind of trust... ]

[icy]

Well, I mean. If it's not communication ... For ages I screwed around trying to get Hiccup to kiss me, I practically drove him nuts. It's ... It was kind of a big deal, at first, we had to talk it through.

[ Yeesh. Avoiding that mess, he rubs the back of his neck. ]

Just bug her? I don't know, that's all I've got.

[ingoodhans]

Bug her, huh?

[ Seriously? He's more the 'let them come to you' kind of guy. But then, he's also the 'dump em once you're bored' type, so Elsa's the exception. ]

You really think she'll go for that?

[icy]

[ Shrugging. HE'S JUST A DRAGON, what does he know? ]

It worked on Hic, and now we spend almost every night together.

[ingoodhans]

...why are you helping me with this, anyway?

[ Hans actually... is he touched? Well, he's at least surprised. ]

I thought you and everybody else hated me.

[icy]

[ Jack blinks widely, also surprised. ]

I never said that. Just because you're an asshole more often than not doesn't mean I'm going to lead an angry mob with pitchforks to your house, Hans.

... You think everyone hates you?

[ingoodhans]

Well, like you said, I'm an asshole.

[ He's kinda used to girls' friends hating him, he just shrugs. ]

Shouldn't you be "protecting" Elsa from me or something?
