Here we go, what you have been waiting for.
Today's Shot,
5. Flowers, 13. Scales
Hiccup inhaled deeply, smelling the wondrous smells of the forest around him. It was one of the extremely rare sunny days on Berk, which led all of the small shrubs and plants on the island to bloom. He felt totally alone out in the forest, no one to spoil the moment. Astrid was some ways ahead of him.
Toothless, not so much. A tiny crack resounded through the trees around him, causing the red head to whip around. He found his sleek black dragon, crouched low to the ground, practically frozen in place. He knew he had been caught.
Toothless made a low chirping noise, and stood up. They both stared at each other for a few moments, before Hiccup lurched forward, and wrapped his arms around his dragon's neck. Toothless leaned forward, causing the boy to practically fall on the ground as the dragon ruthlessly nuzzled him.
Hiccup laughed and gently stroked Toothless's ears back, causing the dragon to release several happy noises from deep inside his throat. "Hey, bud." Hiccup said, scratching the dragon behind the ears a few more times.
Once they got up, and brushed themselves off. They slowly walked through the forest. They were nearing the hollow where Astrid waited. Hiccup stopped in his tracks, leaving Toothless confused. Hiccup slowly bend down, and picked a small blue flower. It was simple, but it was beautiful all the same. Toothless watched carefully as the boy sniffed it, before smiling, and walking on.
Once they reached the hollow, they found Astrid in a Bikini made from wool (an odd image, I know) laying back on one of the sun warmed rocks. Toothless bounded away to greet the Nadder that Astrid kept. Hiccup leaned down and kissed the girl, whom was previously pretending not to see the boy.
"Hiya, Hiccup." She said, laughing and sitting up.
"I b-brought you something" Hiccup nervously shuddered, holding out the small blue flower.
"Awww, its beautiful!" Astrid said, pushing the flower behind her ear where it stood like a splotch of color against her face.
They laid together for what seemed like hours, before the sun began to set, and they heard a rustling noise. Hiccup sat up, to find Toothless was standing there with a bush in his mouth. The whole bush was covered in beautiful orange colors. They were some of the most amazing flowers that any of them had ever seen. Toothless purred a little bit, before setting them on the ground, and nudging them towards Hiccup. Toothless then took a step forward, and pressed his scaly lips to Hiccup's forehead.
Hiccup lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. He was laying comfortably in bed, laying with his dragon. The dragon lay under the covers, which was a first for tonight. He cuddled very close to his dragon. His head was about level with Toothless's neck; the dragon was looking down at Hiccup, uncontrollable purring rumbling from his chest. Hiccup buried his face in the crook of Toothless's neck, breathing in the dragon's light scent. "Thanks for the flowers, bud." Hiccup whispered
Hiccup rubbed his face back and forth across the slick scales. They felt amazing on his face, so smooth. His friend only held the boy closer, closing his wings around them both. Hiccup began to rub his hands up and down the dragon's neck along with his face.
They felt so…odd… But good at the same time. Toothless gave a gentle but loud and soothing croon.
"Night, Bud".
I swear, future chapters WILL be better!
