Thank you everyone for your reviews on my "Plans" drabble. They really do make my day :)
Plasters and Suprises
Toothless swung upside down on the monkey bars at school. For a 6 year old, he had a lot of balance and had an advantage of being a head taller than all the other kids at school.
He watched as Jack chased Hiccup around they playground, the freckly boy squealing in delight when Jack tackled him onto the grass and cuddled into him.
Toothless sighed as hauled himself upwards into a sitting position on the bars. He brushed his hair out of his eyes and carried on to look around the playground. He normally did this, and liked staying in the shadow of the trees. Nobody really bothered him, and Toothless liked it like that.
He ran his tongue over the exposed gums of his two front teeth, groaning internally. Oh, how he wanted for them to grow faster.
"G'day Toothless!"
Raven hair swishing about madly, he fell to the ground with a yelp. "O-oww..." He winced as he touched the graze on his arm. "W-why did you do that?"
Aster climbed down from the bars, a look of guilt evidence on his face. He crouched down next to his friend and examined his arm; the graze looked really bad. Stupid school for not putting a mat underneath.
"I'm sorry Toothless..." Aster mumbled, sitting down properly next to Toothless. He manourvered Toothless so that he mirrored him. "Here." Toothless watched as Aster pulled out a plaster from his camo-trousers. Toothless reached out for it, warily watching the still guilty aussie. All this was done in silence.
After putting on the plaster with easter egg patterns and tribal symbols on it, Toothless started to feel bad. Aster was avoiding Toothless's eyes with a frown. "Hey Aster, it's okay. It doesn't hurt that much. Really it doesn't."
Aster hid behind his bangs, meeting kind eyes for a second. "Are you sure? I still feel pretty bad..."
Toothless smiled a toothless smile, "Come on Aster, would I lie to you?"
Aster smiled, remembering this was the line he said when Toothless accidently bumped into him on the first day of school. "C'mere." He said, opening his arms out.
Toothless beamed and hugged Aster tightly, playing with the loose strands that didn't quite make Aster's tiny pony tail.
Aster wrapped his arms around Toothless, closing his eyes and taking in his scent. He smelled of crayons and fresh soil. It was a weird combination, but Aster thought it was a comforting smell.
The two stayed like this for a while, taking in each other's presence, until two head poked up from behind a tree.
"Jack, shhh." Hiccup said, barely hiding a giggle with his hand, as he watched Aster and Toothless cuddling.
"I know, I know. Just a bit longer," Jack grinned with perfectly aligned grown up teeth, which wasn't a suprise seeing his aunt was a dentist, and held up three fingers. Three... Two... One...
"GOTCHA." The two cried in unison, leaping onto Aster and Toothless.
"Hey!"
"Watch it!"
They all tumbled down the hill, a laughing mess. Jack running away when Aster began to chase him, while Toothless and Hiccup giggled.
It was one of those sweet childhood memories that you don't want to ever forget. Just hanging out with your friends, there is no doubt that the bond you share is just as special as it is for you as it is for them.
I'm so sappy XD
Please review, and I love you all! ^-^
