Prompt 001: Destroy

Her lips ghosted over his for the briefest of seconds before she pulled away to smile tauntingly at him. Her fingers twined through his and tugged him out of the dark closet into the bright light of the corridor. With her free hand, she patted down her hair, vainly attempting to tame her mess of scarlet curls. She brazenly tugged him close to her, whispering her lips over his cheek to murmur a few soft words in his ear. A few girls giggled as they passed by, pointing and gossiping amongst themselves as they watched such inappropriate behavior between the crown princess of Scotland and the heir apparent to the island of Berk.

Hiccup knew they should be more subtle. She was royalty and he, Hiccup supposed, was as well, though there was no true king among the viking clans. Such flirtatious behavior belonged behind closed doors but for once, Hiccup found himself unable to care what others thought. Merida smiled at him, tugging at a curl, her hand still clasped tightly in his. His face flushed, the tips of his ears flaming scarlet.

He knew those girls would tell everyone of the couple's scandalous behavior. He knew his reputation, and Merida's as well, would likely be destroyed as rumors began to spread faster than a Nightfury could fly. Though, as Hiccup gazed at his princess's mischievous grin, he couldn't spare the energy to care. After all, he had other activities that would soon require all his attention.

A/N: So just a quick note. This is a prompt series (I do not own the prompts, I found them somewhere on the internet) that will be – hopefully – 100 chapters long. These are going to be mainly drabbles with a few one-shots thrown in. This is a Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons AU fic. Meaning, these drabbles will center around Merida from Brave, Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon, Rapunzel from Tangled, and Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. It is a Hogwarts AU, so the characters are currently attending Hogwarts. I'm going to try to update everyday, or every other day. Also, in most of these drabbles, the characters are around 16-17 years old (yes, even Rapunzel).

Criticism/feedback is appreciated but not demanded.

Thanks for giving this a go! ~Chaos
