September 8. 11:45 a.m.
StormChaser is now online.
NightFury is now online.
StormChaser: And you called because...?
NightFury: i was trying to trick you to answer
NightFury: almost had you
StormChaser: No, actually, you didn't.
StormChaser: Might work for Snotlout, though.
NightFury: that it might
NightFury: so how was the past couple days?
StormChaser: Sucky.
NightFury: should we talk about it?
NightFury: considering you owe me a vent session and all
NightFury: but no pressure
StormChaser: Guess it wouldn't hurt.
StormChaser: One of my friends almost got us all in trouble the other day.
NightFury is typing...
StormChaser: (Details will spoil my ID, though, so...)
StormChaser: Long story short, I am now grounded.
StormChaser: Oh, but at least Stormfly still loves me. So there's that.
NightFury: animals are the beeest
NightFury: can i get an amen
StormChaser: AMEN.
NightFury: haha
StormChaser: How 'bout you? Anything to report?
NightFury: well mom liked her cake
NightFury: didn't believe we didn't buy it, but yeah
NightFury: (that's why i had to leave last wednesday)
StormChaser is typing...
NightFury: oh
NightFury: and i am still nowhere on the radar of the girl i like
NightFury: but toothless just fell asleep on my foot
NightFury: guess there's that, huh?
StormChaser: Aw, poor thing.
NightFury: thanks
StormChaser: I meant Toothless.
NightFury: ...
StormChaser: Hehe.
NightFury: hilarious
NightFury: ...he refuses to move
StormChaser: I'm gonna need proof.
StormChaser: Picture!
NightFury: no way!
NightFury: my clothes will be a giveaway
StormChaser: Why do I doubt that?
NightFury: beeecause im just an anonymous person on the internet
NightFury: who happens to go to the same school as you
NightFury: so your trust levels are below negative
StormChaser: Nerd.
NightFury is typing...
StormChaser: But whatever, I won't force it out of you.
Hiccup released the breath he didn't know he was holding. "Dodged that one," he whispered to the snoozing black cat.
It's not like he was lying about his clothes being a giveaway, technically; it's just that well, with the other 400 or so freshman students, he was the only one with a prosthetic.
(Short version of a long story: freak accident + fire + bear + infection + few years ago = hello peg leg.)
Toothless rolled slightly-or a lot, not like he could feel it or anything-and purred.
Hiccup frowned. "So encouraging, bud."
NightFury: many thanks, milady
NightFury: which reminds me
NightFury: can i ask for girl advice
StormChaser: Go for it.
StormChaser: Not like I'm going anywhere today.
NightFury: gee thanks
NightFury: you make me feel so important
StormChaser: Sorry, bad mood.
NightFury is typing...
StormChaser: Want that help or not?
NightFury: does a mouse want cheese?
StormChaser is typing...
NightFury: okay okay ill stop
NightFury: but real talk
NightFury: i dont think she knows i exist
StormChaser is typing...
NightFury: well no she does, probably, but she probably hates me or something
NightFury: one of those kinds of people with unreadable faces i guess
NightFury: kinda mean
NightFury: except this one time, when she helped out Gothi cross the street
NightFury: maybe she only likes old people idk
And somewhere that isn't Hiccup's house, or his room, or his anything, actually-in fact, we're now at Astrid's place, because Astrid is quite confused at this sudden development, like, really, REALLY CONFUSED, and well... You'll see:
"Wait what," she blurted out, tilting her head at the screen as if she'd just read the spoilers for the new Dragons movie. Stormfly raised her head off the floor, mimicking her owner's position.
"Roo?"
Astrid bit her lip. "Nah. Nothing, girl. It's nothing."
(Except, like in all things, it was not, in fact, 'nothing', because she was pretty freaking sure there was no one around whenever she helped out Gothi-mostly because her "friends" would have some interesting thoughts if they'd seen her being nice.)
(Unless-and she was going with this theory for now-he wasn't talking about her.)
"Who are you, NightFury?"
NightFury: really pretty
NightFury: andddd i am rambling, aren't i?
StormChaser: A little.
StormChaser: Not that I mind.
StormChaser: So... is she someone I know?
NightFury: uhhhhh probably
StormChaser is typing...
NightFury: but id rather not say who yknow?
StormChaser: Fair.
StormChaser: So what advice are we talking about, here?
NightFury: dunno really
NightFury: how do i get noticed, i guess?
StormChaser: Well...
StormChaser: I for one think if she doesn't like you for who you are, she's not worth it.
Did she mention she really hoped he was talking about someone who wasn't her?
Because she really hoped he wasn't talking about her, otherwise this advice would suck.
NightFury: ah.
StormChaser: Be yourself, dude.
StormChaser: If she comes around, cool, if not, sucks for her, I guess.
StormChaser: Stay real and all that.
NightFury: fair
NightFury: so, anything on your end?
StormChaser: What?
NightFury: you said you were gonna ask for guy advice
NightFury: go forth
StormChaser: Uhm...
StormChaser: I wouldn't know where to start.
NightFury is typing...
StormChaser is typing...
StormChaser: I tend to push people away, y'know?
StormChaser: Even my friends.
StormChaser: I'm really a loner, mostly.
NightFury: well
NightFury: you're not getting rid of me
NightFury: my parents say im stubborn
StormChaser: Saaaameeee.
StormChaser: Mega-stubborn.
NightFury: like if i was a rock formation
NightFury: i would be a mountain
NightFury: cause im a pain to move
StormChaser: Exactly.
NightFury is typing...
StormChaser: I guess... I don't know, I don't know why I like him.
StormChaser: He's smart?
StormChaser: He's really selfless. I think that's why.
StormChaser: I need lessons on that front.
NightFury: why do i doubt that
StormChaser: Because we're strangers on the internet who just happen to go to the same school.
NightFury: ha!
NightFury: you get points for that one
StormChaser is typing...
StormChaser is now offline.
