Quick up date yay, the story is coming together nicely now and for those who read this on their phones I have put -Hiccups point of view bits like this- and will be doing for all of the story. Thanks for reading, review favourite & follow.
The next morning Toothless had gone out to meet Ruff to tell her about how Hiccup had reacted to him coming out.
"Okay so I am out. Well... only to you, Astrid and him. He seemed more okay with it than any straight guy should to be honest." He explains whilst fiddling with a blade of grass that he had picked from where the two sat.
"This is just a hunch but I do really think he could be like... bisexual? Maybe? I dunno the idea seemed less silly in my head." Ruff ponders laying on the warm grass.
"Hmm now you said it I get what you mean..."
"Would you ever date Hiccup?" Ruff suddenly says sitting upright to face him.
"Ermm I don't kn—"
"Would you? You can tell me." She says reassuringly.
"Well... you could say I might have the tiniest crush on my roommate..." He answers looking off into the distance so he didn't have to make eye contact.
"Yay!" Ruff says clapping and coming up with a scheme in her head to get the two together.
Later that day Ruff and Toothless had met up with Astrid, Hiccup, Snot and Tuff and they had all gone to a local pizzeria for dinner. Hiccup seemed to be annoyed for some reason like he was at the party and the other guys were just ogling Astrid because she had a top on that was far too low.
Toothless and the guys had gone to order but Hiccup had stayed at the table leaving the girls a perfect opportunity to interrogate him.
-Nosey girls are the worst people to talk to when you are annoyed. But I remembered I only had to deal with them a few more days then I could escape them in class.-
"Are you okay Hic?" Astrid asks pushing her chest out a little like worm bait for a fish.
"Yeah I am great." He says bluntly playing with a napkin.
"Lets cut the crap you are so not yourself. What is up?" Ruff demands snatching the napkin from his grasp.
"I was gonna ask Toothless to hang out today and you had stolen him again." He huffs snatching the napkin back.
"Really?" The girls both say in unision.
"Why are you so aggravated about this?"
"Oh... I just wanted to hang... like guys do," He answers awkwardly "...also he told me."
"Yeah I know he said and what is your problem? Why are you being so awkward?" Ruff asks in a frustrated tone.
"Nothing I am fine, I'm just hungry." He replies playing with the napkin again.
The guys return with pizza and Toothless shoots a confused look at Hiccup and the girls annoyed looks.
"Toothless, me and Astrid are going to go shopping today and Snot and Tuff are coming, you and Hiccup will have to find something else to do." Ruff says in a flat tone but in a way that Hiccup will understand what she is doing and also in a way Toothless understands what she is trying to accomplish by leaving the two alone.
"See you later for that spin the bottle game." She winks as they finish off their pizza and leave.
"So..." Hiccup says attempting to break the silence between them.
"So...what do you want to do?"
"We could go for a walk? There is a park with a little lake nearby?" Hiccup suggests.
"Okay, a walk... Yeah sounds good." Toothless replies.
"Are you okay?" Hiccup asks questioning the tone his friend was using.
"Yeah I am just a little stressed. Are you okay? You have been annoyed all day." He says curiously.
"I was annoyed, but now I'm not." He smiles back looking at Toothless.
"And why is that?" Toothless responds.
"Well the girls had planned to take you shopping to talk, but I had also planned to ask if you wanted to hang out. So when you went to get pizza they told me and I told them, and them being crazy they got all suspicious because they think I am bi—I'm rambling sorry." Hiccup says apologetically. By now the two had reached the park and were walking around the small lake.
"It's fine Hiccup, I don't mind. So they think you are bi?" Toothless says looking away from the lake to look at his friend.
"Yeah, I don't have much of an interest in girls so they have jumped to me not being straight." Hiccup huffs taking a seat on the bench overlooking the lake and park.
"Are you straight..?" Toothless asks looking Hiccup in the eyes.
"Can I tell you something you can't even say to the girls?" Hiccup asks looking away from Toothless.
"It might slip out... I'm joking, yes what is it?" He asks.
-I never realised telling someone I was so close with something insanely personal would actually be difficult.-
"I don't have an interest in girls... at all. None. Zero." Hiccup confesses.
"What do you mean?" Toothless asks, already knowing what he means but wanting to seem confused.
"Erm... Let's just say our dorm room is now anything but straight." Hiccup says quietly but with a small laugh.
"So you are saying...?" Toothless replies, laughing at how hard he is making it for his friend.
"Oh come on don't make me say it." Hiccup laughs.
"I did, it's your turn."
"Fine, I am... am... I am gay." Hiccup says in defeat after procrastinating.
"I know." Toothless smiles.
"Good." Hiccup says letting a small breath escape his lips. He then realised he had been holding his breath.
"I won't tell the others if you don't tell them about me." Toothless winks.
"Okay our dirty little secret. But I think it will be obvious later." Hiccup says winking back at him.
"Why?" Toothless asks, genuinely confused at this.
"I think it will be obvious later because we are playing spin the bottle with everyone."
Toothless sits shocked for a second until he realises his friend had started to walk off looking over his shoulder at him with a mischievous but slightly nerdy grin.
