Hello! Welcome back to another chapter! I have a request that I've been very excited to do! Let's get right into it!
Guest: Could you do one with Snotlout walking in on Astrid and Hiccup mid-kiss? And maybe him going to tell the others? There has to be a reason he gagged himself. (Dawn of Destructionm Season 5)
Sure thing! The next few will be light hearted and fun with the twins and Snotlip... whoops I meant Snotlout. This will be short as I am working on a new story.
Chapter 28: Hiccstrid
(I know, simple title. But that's what Snotlout calls them)
Snotlout's P.O.V
That dumb volcano was going to be the death of me.
It sputtered and shook, and was a constant annoyance. It's low rumble from the base of it, shook my hut, rocking it on its stilts. A large clunk came from outside, tearing me from my restless sleep. It was my 'S.' It had fallen from the trama of the volcano. Hookfang whined from his sleeping spot, pacing in circles.
"Hookfang. Go to bed!" I turned over, tugging the blanket closer over me. Still the night air, leaked through the wood, causing me to shiver. I groaned and sat up, another series of pops and bangs went off, my bed shaking violently.
"Ughhhh." I rubbed my eyes and tossed myself out of bed. "Come one Hooky, Let's go for a flight. Maybe that will calm you panicked butt down." The dragon huffed a breath of smoke at me, causing my lungs to sputter with coughs. I glared at him, but another crash caused my face to soften at my clearly distressed dragon.
"Its okay Fangster." I chuckled and pressed my hand against his nose. He looked at me with a soft hum rumbling in his throat. I smiled and patted his nose. "Come on."
Hookfang lit himself up, the soft glow the only thing to be seen for miles through the night. I rubbed my cold hands together, letting myself relax in his warmth. We flew for an hour, scouting the island, weaving around sea stacks and racing the night terrors.
Hookfang finally landed with a thud near Hiccup's hut the loud bangs from the volcano silencing his landing. I scratched his neck and inspected his saddle, since Hookfang was quite particular in how is saddle was. I could see the underneath start to burn away from his heat. His saddle had to be replaced every few months due to the intense flames he produced. I un buckled it and pulled it off him and brushing away the ash.
"I'm sure Hiccup's up. There is no way anyone can sleep through this volcano." Hookfang grumbled in disapproval, but as usual I ignored him, and quietly opened Hiccup's hut. I scanned the the dark room, only to see a dim light upstairs. I cocked my head in curiosity and slowly climbed the stairs, leaving Hookfang's frayed saddle at the door.
On my hands and knees I climbed his steep wooden steps. If I had just waltzed up, I could give the scrawny boy a heart attack. And he was better to us alive. I peered up at his bed and shot back down, gasping in disgust at what I saw.
Hiccup was sitting on the edge of his bed. His shirt off and wrapped bandages around his side. On her knees, was Astrid her arms wrapped around Hiccup's neck, in a full-on kiss with him. His hands were gently running up and down her sides and spine and they seemed to sink in on each other. I nearly gagged and stumbled back down and out of his hut, completely flabbergasted.
Hookfang grunted, as if asking my what was wrong.
"Ugh. There's no way I can ever unsee that!" I tried to shake the image from my head as I guided Hookfang back to our hut, doing my best not to barf. I groaned again in disgust and tried to settle back into a restful sleep.
But my mind went elsewhere.
I sighed and suddenly felt jealous. Not like my usual jealousy that seemed childish in everyone else's eyes. This was the tiny pit that had been stuck in my chest since Hiccup befriended Toothless. How come his life just became so luxurious after Toothless? He got praised, friends, glory, girls, and even an entire village. I mean he had everything. Unlimited dragon knowledge. A flaming sword. Amazing inventions and an amazing dragon. Not to mention Astrid. And there was no better woman in the archipelago than her.
I just didn't understand it. Sure, I could be a jerk, egotistical, and lazy. But deep inside... if I was being honest with myself, was my only way not to be stuck in his shadow as a nobody. Even this, still showed me to be just a dragon rider. Hookfang must've sensed my dilemmas as he rested his head over my chest with a content sigh. I rubbed his warm scales.
"At least I go you." I smiled.
...
Hiccup stumbled down his stairs, still half asleep. His chest throbbed from his injuries, but the bandaging from Astrid had helped. Maybe that kiss had helped too. He yawned, still rubbing his eyes, when he tripped over something on the ground. He opened his eyes groggily and looked at the frayed, slightly burned object on the ground.
Hookfang's saddle.
So... this was supposed to be funny, but here I am, making it depressing! Oh well, guess you'll just have to live with it. I will get to some funnier, more light hearted ones later. But I am working on a new story... it's angsty and sad, but it has Hiccstrid! Until next time,
