Chapter 1
Hiccup sighed as he felt the sun's rays upon his face, the birds chirp oh-so cheerfully outside. He was about to sit up and stretch out his arms but felt himself being restrained, at least around the waist area. Hiccup grope around what is holding him, from what he is feeling that the texture is smooth and soft but yet firm. His suspicions are answered when he heard a sigh behind him as he felt himself being pulled closer to a something strong and bare.
"It's too early…sleep…" he heard a familiar groggy voice behind him.
The auburn haired youth turned his neck enough to see the familiar mop of dark hair and the olive-toned skin that left bare by the sheets. A murmur escaped from his lips as he nuzzled against Hiccup's hair, inhaling his natural scent.
Oh, he remembered now…
It was only 24 hours ago, but he brought in the infamous king of the Tulgey Wood, the Jabberwock. Also known as Toothless…
Long story, that is for another time.
He remembered how shocked his father and the rest of the Berk village were when he brought the Jabberwock in after accepting the bet from his cousin, Snotlout, the night before. The wager is that if he wanted to be part of Snotlout's group, he had to journey into the Tulgey Wood alone to take down the Jabberwock, only to bring either its head or heart back to the village as proof. After the whole…brouhaha, for the better lack of word, in the Tumtum Tree oasis- the heart of the Tulgey Wood- Hiccup chose the alternative:
He brought back his heart, figuratively speaking.
Of course, whether or not that he is officially part of Snotlout's group…he no longer gives a damn about it. Right now is that he had to deal with the fact that his village are gossiping on whether or not that this is either a hoax or some kind of trickery or what-not. Since it is understandable that no one had seen the Jabberwock's appearance for who knows how many years…centuries even. And after telling his story so many times when he got back, he was emotionally drained.
Hiccup blinked out of his thoughts when he felt the arm tighten around his waist a bit, as Toothless cuddled him his make-shift teddy bear. He sighed throughout his nose and figured that another few minutes of sleep wouldn't hurt.
After all, nothing much is going to go on today.
Right?
