"OMG! EEP!" Astrid practically swooned.
"Astrid, calm down," Hiccup told his best-friend.
"I know, I know, but the party's tonight and I can't wait!"
When they were kids Astrid hated partying, but ever since she ended up with Snotlout…
"Sorry, but the people we got stuck with because both you and Snotlout ditched us are unbearable!"
"Aw, come on, they can't possibly be that bad."
"Oh, ha ha, trust me, I have never met anyone that I loathe more than Mandy Taylor and Bethy May Fitzgerald!"
"Wait, so like, Bethy or Bethy May?"
"Nope, the 'May' in her name is in fact part of her first name."
"Ah."
"So, going to the party with anyone?"
"Other than our friends, no."
"Mmmhmmmm, sure."
"Whatever, Astrid," he smiled, "I should probably go, see you soon!"
"Good luck, and remember to use protection!" she cackled.
Sometimes he loved her, sometimes he wanted to kill her.
.
"Hiccup," Eret called, "Look, I've been meaning to talk to you."
"Yeah?" Hiccup said.
"Walk with me, Hiccup."
Hiccup shrugged and set off down the trail with him.
"I was thinking about what happened yesterday, and bottom line is… I know you're a superhero."
Hiccup would've sprayed water everywhere had he been drinking any. This was it, he wouldn't have pegged Eret as Nightfury, but-
"And I was wondering if you were part of a clan yet?"
Hiccup blinked, this was so not where he'd thought this was going.
"Um, yeah… how did you- how do you know about Clans?"
"Um, because I'm a Superhero too, duh."
Eret made it sound as though it had been the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh."
"Yep."
"What's your clan?"
"The Dragon Hunters," he said with pride, "A clan dedicated to killing off the dragon villains."
"Oh, that's," hot, "Cool!"
"Yeah, what's yours?"
"The Vikings."
"Oh, that's cool! What branch?"
"The Hairy Hooligans."
"Nice!"
Eret smiled and Hiccup felt his stomach flutter, oh dear gods, please no.
"What's your element?" Hiccup asked.
"Oh, mine's earth."
Oh, that's why you have such dreamy, earthen features, Hiccup drooled a little.
"That's awesome! Your Villain?"
"Drago Bludvist, I inherited him from my father."
"Oh, well then…"
"Our clan's latest mission was to track down and kill the Bewilderbeast."
"What's that?"
"A supervillain capable of transforming himself into a large, ginormous monster with frost breath."
"Oh… alright then."
Eret sighed. "That's the whole reason that I came to this town, I was trying to blend in by going to school here, but in reality I've come looking for him, as he is said to reside somewhere near these woods."
"O-oh."
"Yes, remember that bear yesterday? I think that was from him. I think he knows I'm here and is trying to challenge me."
"That sounds dangerous Eret, if you would like some help capturing him my friends and I are happy to help."
"Wait, there's more of you? Wait- Snotlout- is he…?"
"Yes, he is."
"Awesome!" Eret was as excited as a four year old on Christmas, "This is wonderful! My roommate and I have more in common than I thought."
Hiccup smiled, he like seeing Eret this happy.
.
The punch was fucking drugged.
Hiccup groaned, going for the water to try to wash the booze from his syst-nope. Nope.
Fucking Vodka, he thought, walking dizzily.
Toothless frowned at Hookfang, completely sober, what? He was used to his friend pulling pranks, if he hadn't learned by now then he'd be the dumbest man alive!
He sighed, he was too tired for this, and besides they were leaving the next morning… boy would being in a bus with a ton of hungover people be a riot!
Smiling, he made his way back to the tent and frowned when he noticed two people missing. He had had his eye on Hiccup ever since the bear incident, after all, he'd never really managed to put his finger on just why being around the boy ignited a pure hatred that burned with the fire of a thousand plasma blasts.
"Where's your cousin?" he asked Snotlout.
This earned a laugh from the boy, "Oh, he's… out," his smirk said it all.
"And where's Ere- oh, oh."
It's not like homosexuality bothered him, after all, before Carly he had always assumed that his brother was gay. He himself had engaged in a few sexual encounters with other males. He just had a hard time picturing people in that position, or at least that wasn't the first place his mind went when he thought of people engaging in coitus.
He hummed before shrugging, well, he knew who was bottoming…

:) since those were two OCs from TA that I just loved I figured I had to bring them in. Well, OK, loved has a bit of a different meaning here, being that I adored how well they served their purpose!
Mmmm, Hiceret :))) I love how usually in my 'slowburns' they end up together like nine chapters in, but here we are, about a tenth (or less) into the story, and they barely like each other. :) now if only I can keep it that way, after all, who ever heard of enemies falling in love ( ;) ) jk, then again, maybe Eret will pose a threat to this relationship *le gasp* haha, OK, it's late and I'm rambling so… done!
