Soon, after taking the usual way, we arrived back at our house. Our dad wasn't home (probably still out doing his chiefing duties) so I quickly went up the steps to the second part of the house and threw my bag onto my bed. I took out my notebook and put it on my desk. I opened it up and looked at the pages I managed to save. One of the drawings was one I drew of Hiccup, Astrid, and Stormfly. Hiccup was trying to help Astrid learn how to aim Stormfly's tail spikes at a specific target one day and Stormfly accidently knocked Hiccup down when Astrid turned to aim the spikes. Another was an unfinished drawing of Toothless of what I thought he might have looked like when he was a baby. When I finished looking at a few others, I put the torn out pages to the right and stared down at my notebook. I started thinking about the picture of Tuffnut I started earlier and started wondering if I should start working on it again. I started mentally arguing with myself as to whether I should when I heard Hiccup start to come up the ladder.
"Hey Enya." He said, smiling.
"Hi." I replied, still staring at my notebook.
"Working on some more drawings, huh?" he asked, craning his head to look at my notebook and I moved it to the side. "Um…do you mind if I borrow some paper?" I shrugged my shoulders and tore out piece from my notebook. He picked up the pencil that was beside me and sat down on the floor beside my chair, crossing his legs. In a way, he kinda looked like a little kid the way he was sitting. My desk came up to the middle of his chest and he had to stretch a bit to get into a place to reach his paper. I looked at the paper out of the corner of my eye and saw him start to draw a head and a body.
"What are you gonna draw?"
"You'll see." He replied and moved the paper over to the corner of my desk and moved his body so I couldn't see the paper.
Not a lot of time passed before he put the paper back in front of him. On it was a picture of Toothless…at least I think it was him. His eyes looked really strange, almost like they were popping out of his head, his wings looked like they were on the front of his body instead of his back, and his teeth looked like they were on the outside of his mouth instead of on the inside. Beside the drawing were the words "Hiccup's My Buddy",written in what looked like letters I could barely recognize I felt a smirk appear on my face as I tried not to laugh at his drawing but the longer I looked at it, the harder that was becoming. I've seen him draw things before and they're usually pretty good (sometimes even better than mine) but this is his strangest drawing I've ever seen him make.
"What-who is that" I asked, trying to keep my laughing down.
"Toothless." Hiccup replied, smiling at the picture.
"Ok…I…looks good." I said. I let a small smile slip onto my face, but quickly tried to hide it.
"I saw that Enya." Hiccup stated, turning towards me.
"Saw what?"
"You smiled.
"No I didn't…" I muttered and put my head down on my arm. I heard Hiccup say something under his breath and he stood up. "Alright Enya, I guess you just want to be alone so-" he started but quickly, in one swift move, picked up both my notebook and the torn out drawings.
"Hiccup," I yelled, standing up "Give it back!"
"I just want to look at some of your drawings." He said and started looking through pages in the notebook. "Me, Astrid, Stormfly," He started naming the people he saw and I thought I saw him smirk when he didn't say a name.
"Hiccup, please give me back my drawings." I pleaded.
"I will after I finish looking at them." He flipped to another page and gave me another smirk. "Ah, a fourth drawing of Tuffnut." I glared at him and tried to make a grab for either the drawings or the notebook but Hiccup moved away and started down the steps. "I'll give you your drawings back if you tell me why you were upset!" he shouted from the bottom step. I let out an annoyed sigh and started down the steps after my brother.
"Hiccup," I said, jumping from the third step to the floor "I'm gonna say this one more time. Give me my stuff back. If you don't, we might turn into the Thorson twins, and you know I'm the second best fighter in this house while you're the third."
"And I have Toothless so it seems like a fair fight." Hiccup said, backing away while I continued to walk towards him "Just tell me what made you upset and you'll get your drawings back."
"Right now you are what's making me upset." I said and made another grab for the drawings but Hiccup ran to the front of the fire pit that was in the middle of the floor. I ran after him but quickly realized all we were doing was running in a circle around the pit. I stopped running to catch my breath and a laugh somehow managed to escape through my gasps. "Did I hear a laugh this time Enya?" Hiccup asked, raising an eyebrow. I took in a deep breath and jumped over the fire pit, landing on top of Hiccup. I grabbed his wrist and put it under my right knee so he couldn't escape and grabbed for my notebook in his other hand. He started trying to get away, which didn't work at all since I'm slightly larger than him.
"Get off Enya!"
"Like I said before Hiccup, give me my stuff and I will!"
"Fine!" Hiccup shouted and threw my notebook. It landed by my side and my drawings landed on top, this time only a few coming out of place.
"Thank you Hiccup." I said smiling. I got off of him and picked up my drawings, placing all the misplaced ones back in order.
"You're welcome," Hiccup mumbled, sitting up and rubbing his wrist. "I guess
