I am so out of shape on my updates, and that is why I need something to get me out of my writers block. So, I am going to do fan messaging. Unoriginal, yes, but it will help me with my writers block and help me connect with you wonderful people. So I'm going to need all the messages you can give. That's right. Is there something you want to say to a member of the gang? Say it!
Hiccup walked somewhat sadly down the route to his house. Toothless had abandoned him, yet again, for the company of LightStorm. It wasn't that he wasn't happy for his dragon and their beautiful family, it was that he missed flying. Lately Toothless had been hunting. All day, every day for the past week. Sure he didn't have a lot of kids by Nightfury standards, but he had a lot by his standards. Six mouths to feed. That was a start. Maybe the Nightfuries would be more plentiful in the future.
Hiccup's leg slid across some ice, unbalancing him and making him slide the rest of the way down the hill, screaming his lungs off before crashing into a snow bank with an umph.
Yeah. He missed flying.
He climbed out of the snow bank miserably, when something caught his eye. It was white, but it wasn't snow. It was fluttering in the wind like snow, but it was flipping around more than snow ever would.
He tilted his head to the side curiously, wondering what the heck it was. Then, abruptly, it flew right into his hands. Was it some kind of paper? It was whiter than any paper he'd ever seen.
It looked like it had been folded into some kind of envelope. He pulled up a flap, finding another... paper inside. What was it? He pulled it out.
It was folded in half.
Gods, how complex did this have to be?
He opened the paper, finally getting to its content.
Hiccup,
What is wrong with you?! Why don't you just kiss Astrid already?! She made it perfectly clear that she likes you! Gods, grow some balls and kiss her!
Sincerely,
Anonymous
Hiccup was astounded. Appalled. Flabbergasted. Embarrassed.
But Astrid was...
she was...
Who sent this?!
Hiccup had a very strange feeling, and he didn't know how to explain it.
And he just... couldn't. He couldn't kiss her because she was too...
Ugh! He couldn't explain it.
Hiccup walked in a storm of his own thoughts up to his house when he bumped into none other than...
"Astrid!" Hiccup said nervously. "Hi Astrid, hi Astrid, hi Astrid, hi Astrid." Hiccup cleared his throat then tried to walk away to no avail.
"Hiccup? What are you up to now?" Astrid said in her sure of herself, demanding voice that could only be described as Astrid's voice. Hiccup backed away uncomfortably.
"Um nothing. I'm doing- *ahem* I'm just... Just uh... reading. Yeah." He mentally face palmed.
"Oh yeah? I haven't seen you act this nervous since we came back. Are you feeling okay? What are you reading?"
Hiccup felt his face heat up, then he backed away some more, hopefully getting a chance to get away from Astrid.
She was... intimidating. At least right now.
All because of that stupid letter.
While Hiccup was struggling for an answer, Astrid made a leap for the letter in Hiccup's hand. She stuck the landing with the letter in hand. Hiccup tried to protest but she was already reading it.
Once she finished, she looked up unsurely.
"Who wrote this?"
"I have no idea."
"Where did it come from?"
"It fell from the sky."
Astrid sighed, narrowing her eyes at the sky. Hiccup nervously watched his shoes... well... shoe like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
Finally after a while Astrid spoke.
"We don't speak of this."
Hiccup nodded, but as she walked away, he felt guilty.
Maybe he should have done something different.
So there you have it! Write a letter to... anyone! But do it in reviews. If you send me a message I'll forget about it. This story won't last long, but hopefully it will get me writing again! :)
