The Various Kinds of Love

1. Friendship

"CANNONBALL!" Elias Fiersome whooped as he jumped into the lake, his fellow Wolf Pack Army trainees cheering as he surfaced. Suddenly Heather shrieked, "Eli, your shorts!" and pointed to a pair of black wool shorts floating on the surface of the water!

All the kids burst out laughing while a furiously blushing Elias yelped, keeping his hands underwater to cover his privates, and frantically splashed about to recover his shorts. Arvid, Calder, and a bunch of the other trainees thought it would be a great joke to grab the Fiersome boy's shorts and toss it about in a game of Keep Away and laughed while Elias furiously tried to grab them in midair.

Heather, Brunhilde, and the other girls merely looked on in amusement as the boys goofed off while a certain couple of young ones clambered onto the rocks surrounding the lake to soak up the sun. "Eret, can you tell Arvid and the others to quit embarrassing Eli?" Eight-year-old Zenna giggled, brushing her soppy black bangs out of her brilliant violet eyes. "Eh, maybe later, Zen, this looks too funny to break up," 13-year-old Eret chuckled. Zenna merely laughed and watched as her older brother tried to steal his shorts (and what was left of his dignity) back from the boys while her gal pals laughed.

Yeah, she was definitely going to miss hanging out with her pack when she and Eli moved to Berk later on in the early winter...

2. Affection

Stryka and Toothless wore gummy smiles as they hung upside down from the trees, making Hiccup and Zenna both laugh. The two best human friends had had a bad day that compromised of enduring the teasing from Snotlout, other mean kids, and handling the pressure of keeping their two best dragon friends a secret so, upon seeing their two Riders frowning faces earlier, the two Night Furies decided to cheer them up with their antics.

"You were right, Hicc. It's so much easier to hug them like this," Zenna smiled and hugged Stryka's head. Hiccup smiled and hugged Toothless' head as well. "Thanks, Bud. You and Stryka always know how to make us feel better," he said before going, "Aaaaaggghhh!" as Toothless gave him a big, slobbery, affectionate lick!

Stryka and Zenna both couldn t keep themselves from shaking with laughter as Toothless tried to clean Hiccup again, getting even more drool on him. "Toothless, this doesn't wash out!" the auburn-headed teen complained.

3. Passionate Love

Zenna felt her whole body shudder with pleasure as Eret gently wrapped his strong arms around her and kissed every bit of exposed flesh he could find. She smiled like a sly vixen and slightly shifted her body so the sheet covering her naked form dropped a bit to expose one of her breasts. She could feel the effects of her act against her thigh and closed her eye, feeling Eret s warm fingertips lightly dancing against her cleavage, and moaned as her husband lightly stroked a finger against her exposed nipple.

Zenna felt her already warm body heat up even more and the events that had happened earlier in the bedroom replayed in her head. Zenna, then, opened her eye to gaze into Eret's soulful brown orbs. "Round two?" she whispered seductively. "Only if you're up for it, love," Eret chuckled softly, capturing her lips in his. 'Oh, you know I'm always up for it,' Zenna thought as she and Eret made love again that night.

4. Unconditional Love

The three of them were, without a doubt, absolutely perfect.

Two perfect, handsome little gentlemen and one perfect, sweet, little princess.

As they rocked their two-year-old sons, Jason Tadashi and Hiro, and their newborn baby daughter, Gyda Lagertha, to sleep, Zenna and Eret both felt their hearts fill to the brim with love. Oh, they had already experienced this kind of love when their sons were born, all right. But, upon Gyda (or GyLa as the boys now called her) being born, the love they had felt had all but multiplied a hundredfold. They still had a lot of time left to teach them stuff and they were going to cherish every single second.

They were going to teach them how to befriend dragons, ride them, how to fight and defend Berk and each other and they were going to love them forever and ever and ever and would protect them with their lives no matter what. Back then, the center of their world had been each other, their dragons, and their friends. When their kids came into the world, things changed. While Stryka, Skullcrusher, Hiccup, Astrid, and all their friends still occupied an important place in both of their hearts, Jason Tadashi, Hiro, and Gyda Lagertha had taken front and center the minute they'd each been born.

Zenna smiled as she gently kissed each of her kids on their foreheads while softly humming a sweet lullaby. She was cradling Jason Tadashi and Hiro, her two-year-old boys and total lookalikes of her husband, while Eret had little GyLa, their newborn baby girl who pretty much looked like a miniature Zenna, in his arms. She could already tell that GyLa was going to be Daddy's Little Angel just by looking at Eret. But, favorites aside, they loved their children fully and unconditionally...

Now that kind of love...that was the one kind of love Zenna and Eret would forever cherish the most.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! Love you all!
