Chapter Two
Tuffnut made his way to the beach, knowing that Hiccup would most likely be there. He had already checked in with Gobber, who had told him the boy hadn't shown up that day.
Generally, Hiccup worked with the blacksmith, making tools and weapons for the Viking's to use – not that they did much fighting anymore, but you never knew when someone would invade the village. It wasn't as if he was employed though. Ever since the incident at the Nest, he'd been given the freedom to actually roam.
Without any duties to really tend to Hiccup often fled to the beach to be with his strange Night Fury, Toothless.
The thought of the dragon made Tuffnut pause in thought. He didn't know how the beast would react to him being around Hiccup, trying to get closer to the boy. The thing was possessive as all Hell. He'd seen it trip Astrid on more than one occasion, those big, yellow-green eyes narrowed in hate.
He snorted as Astrid's image slid into his head, resuming his steady pace towards the beach. She was hot, she was strong, but fuck, was she annoying. She had only begun to show interest in Hiccup when the boy became famous.
Well, that wasn't necessarily true, Tuffnut reasoned. Astrid had told his sister just how she had met Toothless, the events that followed. Ruffnut had, of course, relayed the information to her brother. The way it was told, it sounded more like Astrid had the hots for Toothless rather than Hiccup.
"That was amazing. He's amazing." Tuffnut could remember his sister telling him, voice full of mock longing as she unfocused her eyes, to give them a glazed, dreamy look.
The more he thought about it, the more right it seemed to be. Was Astrid only using Hiccup, because of his fame? Or did she have some strange sort of love for the dragon?
As the beach came into view, Tuffnut vowed that he would find out.
AN: I'm really freaking sorry that these are so short. I'm finding it really hard to get into the mind frame of writing for this fandom. I promise they'll get longer soon ;; Probably once the plot gets a bit further on. FORGIVE ME *bows*
