"It's because of your lies, I begin to find my way...Only now do I see, in the distance, denial highway..."

Ruffnut sat straddling a chair, her lanky arms bent and folded in awkwardly graceful triangles over the worn wood. Her grin took up every inch of her angular face, her cheeks plumping in a way only a smile could make them. They were rose tinted, a sure sign she had stood and watched for a few moments before deciding to let either of them know she had entered the room. Her booted legs spread open before the ensnared vikings, her desperately subconscious need to be as strong as her twin hindering her ability to know any meaning of the word shame. After a moment the thin rounds of her bony shoulders made a quick roll as she shook her head with a breathy laugh, blinking and continuing to grin at them in stunned appreciation.

Neither boy moved, whether for fear or sheer confusion over her reaction was unclear to any of them.

"This is just...I mean, I always thought something like this. I really did. You know, what with you two hanging out so freaking often now a days and YOU just up and leaving me all the time like you do now..." She wagged a finger at her brother, tilting her head with a smirk before letting her glittering charcoal eyes dance over to Hiccup's remaining slight cringe. Tuffnut watched her with a remarkedly calm face, his hand still resting on the small of Hiccup's back, cheek brushing against the boy's stomach every now and then as he silently studied his sister.

"I mean, I kind of expected something like this. From HIM at least," Here she tossed a hand towards her sibling, now looking pointedly at Hiccup and speaking to him. "Think about it, statistically it was BOUND to happen! There are TWO girls our age on this island. One of them is currently screwing you, or at least WAS, and one of them is his sister." She shrugged, looking like she was about to break out into maniacal laughter at any moment, shaking her head once more before turning to look at Tuffnut again.

"He was screwed from the beginning." She whipped her head back towards Hiccup, who was now shifting uncomfortably on his knees, his hands resting hesitantly on the strength of Tuffnut's shoulders. "But, you? YOU? I NEVER saw this comin'! What's yer DAD gonna think?" She let her mouth hang open, leaning towards him with a light scough, as though hanging on for his response. Her sarcastically exaggerated motions made Hiccup flinch back ever so slightly, his cringe increasing to a mildly frightened look.

"Don't fuck with him, Ruff. Just back off." She turned to look at Tuffnut again, her mouth closing into a thinly expectant smile, fingers moving to gently curl over the back of the chair, beginning to drum softly on the mahogany beneath them. Her twin stared her down with a gray gaze equal to thunder heads she watched over the sea some days. Her eyes flickered to his fingers on Hiccup's narrow little waist, watching them press into the coarse fabric of the brunette's shirt absentmindedly, drawing him centimeters closer in subconscious protection.

".FANtastic." She arched a thin brow, her smile twisting in the corner to turn into a slightly malicious grin that she had mastered at an early age; having learned from only the best. "Tell me, Tuff, how long have you harbored feelings of love towards the little geek?" Her head bobbed slightly with her words, snaking in tiny movements from side to side, accentuating the venomous puncture of each word. Tuffnut's eyes narrowed, his sleek form sliding forward the way a snake would as it watched prey. And then, it snapped, unwinding on her as fast as a coiled spring.

Hiccup flew to the bed, almost pushed to the floor with the force of the blonde's strike, catching himself with a quick hand against a posted knob at the foot of the bed. He whipped around, gasping as he watched the twins collide with a crash, Ruffnut flying to her feet with her brother's tackle. The chair snapped across the room, skidding over the oak panels before tripping and clattering to the floor. Tuffnut snarled, snatching at one of his sister's braids as he crushed her body against his, wrapping the flaxen strands around his fist before yanking her head almost to the floor. She growled back, hissing and spitting through clenched teeth as she clawed at his face and chest, swinging to catch his arcing free hand.

He swatted the block away, punching her in the face before dropping her to her back, pinning a knee between her child-like breasts, forcing her to pant beneath him. Pressing his palm against her cheek and pushing her head into the floorboards he bore his teeth at her, watching her push and scratch at his chest and cheeks blindly, refusing to give up. He slammed her hands to the floor, snarling once more, expanding the heft of his weight against her cheek before quickly letting up again, determined to make his point. Hiccup knelt on the bed, fingers spread lightly in front of his open mouth, stunned horror written across his features.

"It ISN'T what you think. I DON'T love him." He growled at her, sucking in quick breaths through his teeth as he did, his face twisted with the rage that had taken over it. She glared up at him from beneath his hand, her mouth forced shut by the pressure of his hold, her eye livid as it beheld him. He jammed her head against the floorboards again, unaware of Hiccup easing himself off the foot of the bed, backing towards the door with fearful footsteps that were achingly slow.
