Lightning Crashes

Why Not?

It had been several months since Hiccups abduction, several months since his rescue, and several months since Rai had came to stay. It was odd seeing a goddess bowing to Stoick begging him to be Hiccups bodyguard. She didn't want payment, or anything physical other then a place to stay, warm bed, and food. Hiccup knew that she wouldn't hurt him or she would have done it already. She also already made good with her promise by saving Hiccup from a huge bear. Which she also used every bit of the bear from food, to clothing, and even a new knife for Hiccup to use.

One thing Hiccup noticed about Rai was she always used hand to hand combat rather then what he figured most gods would use.

'Toothless your mom is a goddess of lightning right?' He asked him as he cleaned out the harth to stack more wood for heating metal.

'yes.' Toothless said sleepily.

"Why doesn't she just lightning her enemies?" He asked out loud. Rai looked around at Hiccup and laughed.

"Cause it ruins my hair that's why." She laughed Hiccup chuckled as he lit the fire and began to burn it.

"So your hair is why you don't use your powers?" He laughed running his fingers over her hair. Touch was a very big thing to the goddess she loved it when she was touched in any way. A small brush to her was a hug, and hug was like a million years of wear being taking off her. A smile specially from Hiccup and Toothless was torture to her. A smile was like a wordless promise for a later hug. A kiss…was never done, she wouldn't ever touch anyone in that way again. Never again.

Hiccup saw her face change from a giant smile to that of sadness and his bond weaved over hers.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah…just remembering." She said. Back then when she would lay back against Fury she could feel a million years wearing off of her in just a few moments. If she were injured he would hold her and be healed almost instantly. She would wonder during the night, if she would be held by either Toothless or Hiccup…would the same thing happen? She sighed and looked up when Gobber walked over to the slab and threw on a few pieces of gardening equipment which was becoming a steadier job rather then repairing weapons.

"Stop with the talking you two. We still got work to be done." He barked before going back to the front.

"sorry Gobber I'll go fetch us some lunch then shall I?" She said before walking out. Gobber sighed looking at her go.

"And she just leaves you. Some bodyguard she is." Gobber shook his head.

"She trusts you Gobber. She knows you'd never want anything bad to happen to me." Hiccup said putting a hoe into a bin of water before putting it back into the fire.

HTTYD

Rai looked around at the market place which was busting with people buying and selling. She waved when she saw Astrid who was helping out in her own fathers shop now that there wasn't much need for a fire brigade. She would still jump up and go when there was a fire, but they were far and few between.

"Looking for lunch for the guy folk huh?" Astrid asked Rai who nodded.

"Yes ma'me." Rai bowed to Astrid. Astrid knew the only reason why she bowed to her was because of her relationship to Hiccup. If for any reason they decided to separate the goddess in front of her would probably threaten her life. Astrid was sure she would hurt Rai, but she knew she'd probably die trying to as well.

"Well Fishlegs grandmother just got in fresh fish. Hiccup, and Toothless do like Icelandic cod, and Gobber likes chi…" She stopped mid sentence. "What?" Rai asked looking around herself and then back at Astrid.

"Your hair…" Astrid said twisting her axe around so the goddess could look into its mirrored gaze. Rai gasped as she ran back toward the smithy hut.

"No lunch then?"

"B-Big storm…" She said as Astrid walked in behind her. Rai's hair was sticking up in places it never did. Which wasn't saying much cause it normally stuck up and weaved around a bit on its own almost like there was a snake slithering under its curls.

"Big storm you mean bigger then that typhoon?" Hiccup asked. She just nodded and looked at Toothless who was sleeping up in the rafters.

"Get down here you lazy dragon!" She poked him.

'sleepin…' He mumbled to her.

"Useless thing you are." Rai grumbled and looked up when Stoick walked into the room with a large hammer. Rai stopped her hysterics and bowed to the chief. The move reminded Hiccup so much of the time his father discovered that there was a girl up in his room the morning after she showed back up again. She had got down on her hands and knees and begged him to be Hiccups guardian. When Astrid had found out Hiccup had a girl in his room other then herself it was the silent treatment up until Rai explained who she was and why she did it.

'Says the dragonite whose afraid of lightning.' Toothless said with a thrum.

"I am not afraid of lightning!" She yelled at Toothless. Toothless just laughed cause she had said it out loud.

"She's talking to that dragon again…" Stoick said. Everyone just couldn't see how Rai could hear Toothless in her head. Because of this Hiccup reframed from telling them that he could hear them both in his head too.

"Are you…afraid of lightning?" Hiccup asked Rai who looked bashful because she had no choice but to answer the question being Hiccups guardian.

"Kinda…" She whispered.

This bit of information surprised and baffled Hiccup. How could the goddess of lightning be afraid of her own element?
