Staring Contest

"Hiccup, what in Valhalla are you doing?"

"Having a staring contest with Toothless."

"A staring contest?"

"Yes, Astrid. A staring contest."

"And who is winning so far?"

"UGH! I blinked! Thanks a lot, Astrid."

"OW!"

"That's for blaming me."

"Yeah, sure, thanks for that. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to have a rematch with Toothless."

Astrid just shook her head before leaving the boy and his dragon to their contest.


"Hiccup? Toothless? Don't tell me you two are still doing that staring contest.

"…"

"I knew it."

"…"

"Toothless won the rest of the rounds, didn't he?"

Just as the words left Astrid's mouth, Hiccup blinked and Toothless gave a triumphant growl. He turned his dragon head to Astrid and nodded, answering her question a while ago.

"Who knew you'd lose even at a staring contest."

"Come on, Astrid. Toothless is a dragon. It was really most likely that I will lose."

"Then why still do it?

"…"

"…"

"I don't know…"

"…"

"Don't roll your eyes!"

"How can I not?"

"I was bored, okay? And Toothless kept staring on me so it led to that."

"Well, that made sense."

"Thank you!"

"I can't believe you lost."

"Give me a break! Like you could do better…"

"Are you challenging me?"

"I don't know… am I?"

"…"

"…"

"Bring it on, fishbone."

And thus, the two Viking began a staring contest of their own.


"See, Hiccup? Even a staring contest with your girlfriend, you still manage to lose." Astrid said with a triumphant smirk. Hiccup blushed heavily before replying.

"Just... shut up..."


Don't ask where that one-shot idea came from.
