Okay here is chapter to….finally. In this chapter there is a little bit of a love triangle. Snotlout likes Ruffnut but Ruffnut is ogling Hiccup. So Snotlout tries to help her get Hiccup all the while hurting inside.

Chapter 2

A little boy, about five, dashed through the village, his dark hair was dancing in the cold Berk morning. He ran up to a hulking Viking man tossing baskets up to his shipmates before a Voyage.

"Gobber," he said, with the innocence of a small child.

"Wha is it now, Snotlout?" Gobber asked lifting another basket.

"You got it wrong, Gobber! I'm Hiccup!" the boy said, pouting.

"Op, sorry, looks like I got you two mixed up again," the large man said, chuckling nervously. Meanwhile nearby a similar looking boy hid in the shadows. This was Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III. The other boy was his cousin, Snotlout Jorgensen, proving, again, how easily Hiccup could be replaced.

Back then everyone would believe Snotlout when he used that line against his cousin but since Hiccup and he were cousins and looked exactly alike as kids it was easy to pull those pranks. However as Snotlout matured and his Viking-y muscles filled out, he slowly began to feel the two of them were destined to be two very different people.

"Hey, Snotlout! STOP!" Hiccup shouted, snatching at his sketchbook held over his head by his cousins meaty fist.

"HA HA!" the big brute laughed. Even though Hiccup had become a hero and destined to be chief of the tribe, Snotlout still liked to annoy him. The desperate look that Hiccup shot him didn't go unnoticed. "That look suits you, Hiccup!"

"Why are you teasing me? Moreover where did all my work go?" he said glancing at his now empty work space.

"I seized all of it. I mean look in your setting in this set-up," he laughed at his cousin. He flicked him on the head.

"Why me?" Hiccup demanded.

"You are in the Hero club and this is initiation," Snotlout said, smirking to his friend Tuffnut Thorston.

"Wasn't getting my leg blown off enough initiation?" Hiccup asked himself.

"Oh for the love of the gods, BE QUIET YOU LIMPET BRIANED HOODLIUMS!" Gobber yelled from his room, as he was nursing a major mead hangover. "I'M TRYING TO GET SOME REST HERE!"

"Wow, sure is lively in here," Astrid said, walking in with the other girls and a string of dead fish.

"Gosh, Hiccup," Fiyori said, "stop acting like such a girl."

"Sounds good," Gobber muttered from his room, "You lot are pathetic at housework anyway."

"Hey!" shouted Fiyori, "At least I'm better than Astrid!"

"Hey, Hiccup, why don't you go fix supper?" Astrid asked, smiling friendly at him.

"Sure, just let me get my sketchbook back."

"You have, like, fifty others." Hiccup sighed dejectedly and went to clean the fish. To tell the truth Hiccup was a much better hero than Snotlout and Snotlout knew it, though he wouldn't admit it to anyone. If asked he would have said Freyr had made a slip when he put them in their mother's wombs.

The next day, at training Ruffnut approached Hiccup, "Hey, Hiccup."

"Oh, Ruffnut, what's up?"

"Will you be at the club meeting today?" she asked.

"Club meeting?"

"I just finished perfecting a new trick and I wanted to show it to you," Ruffnut explained, twirling her braids.

"Hiccup, if you're a member then you have an obligation to show up," Snotlout said in a demanding tone, walking up behind Ruffnut.

"Snotlout! I never said I joined-"

"That is your dragon, isn't it?" Snotlout said, gesturing to Toothless dozing under the pines. Hiccup sighed and Snotlout smirked in victory. "You are coming with us now." Hiccup thought fast, something he was VERY good at.

"Uh, I'm busy with…something else. Sorry!" he said before, running off as best he could with a prosthesis.

"Hey! Hiccup!" Snotlout shouted indignantly.

Later that afternoon Snotlout and Ruffnut sat in the glade that served as the club meeting place. Snotlout sat, sulking while Ruffnut sharpened her spear. Tuffnut had gotten in trouble and was cleaning the dragon stables out.

"That Hiccup. If he's gonna act like this there is no point in messing with him," Snotlout griped.

"Aw come on. He can't help it. He's busy with something else," Ruffnut said, angling the spear so she could see if the blade was straight or not.

"Oh, almost forgot," the teenage boy said, turning to his satchel, "Here you go." He handed Ruffnut the sketchbook.

"Wow," she muttered looking through it, "Hiccup's a great artist. Thanks 'Lout." Snotlout watched as Ruffnut poured over the pages religiously.

"You're welcome," he watched, the girl twin a little bit longer as she flipped through the papyrus pages. "Hey Ruff?"

"Yeah?" she said, not looking up.

"Why do you love Hiccup so much?"

Ruffnut's hand faltered and a blush grew warm on her high cheeks. "Wh-what are you talking about?"

"Ruffnut, since you are so popular you have lots of choices. Why choose someone so weak and pathetic as Hiccup?" She didn't answer at first.

"Well he cooks good," she said after a few minutes. She smiled her signature grin and Snotlout gave a little smile back. The expertly trained eye could spot a slight blush tinting his strong cheeks.

Later that night, Snotlout and Tuffnut followed Hiccup to the hot-springs. They waited stealthily in the shadows for a while before silently sneaking over to steal the poor boys clothes. They had just picked up his tunic when his cracking voice rang out through the calm night.

"Don't even think about it."

"Oh come on!" groaned Tuffnut.

"How did you even know we were there?"

"First, you aren't as quiet as you think you are. Second, Toothless is in the shadows over there," he said gesturing to the pine thicket to the left. The two looked at each other then started snickering. Hiccup, still hadn't turned around.

"What are you laughing at? Guys I swear touch my clothes and I'll send Toothless after you." They still considered it but threw out the idea when they thought about how fast Toothless was on the ground. Tuffnut left muttering under his breath but something nagged at Snotlout's mind.

"Hey, Hiccup?"

"I'm telling you 'Lout. DON'T DO IT."

"I'm changing the subject here," he said, flopping down on a rock. "Hiccup, have you ever thought about getting a girlfriend?" Hiccup turned to face his cousin.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well," Snotlout started, "How about Ruffnut?"

"Ruffnut? What about her?" Snotlout swallowed past the lump in his throat.

"I think you two would make a great match…You and Ruffnut. You know she has pretty big boobs and is a great warrior…"

"Huh?" Hiccup said, looking away, blushing. Suddenly the atmosphere was tense.

"Alright… Uhh, later," Snotlout said, getting up and taking his leave. "Just think about it long and hard," he said walking away. On his way back to the cottage/bunker he passed Astrid. She acknowledged him and called his name but he was lost in his own world thinking about what he had just done. She just stared after him like he was going loony.

That night Snotlout lay on his bed staring up at his ceiling, his arms crossed over his forehead in thought and wondering to the gods. Why did it have to be Hiccup, Ruffnut liked? Why couldn't it be him? All his ponderisms finally lulled him into a fitful sleep.

Hiccup wondered through the forest looking for the clearing so he could tell Snotlout he wasn't going to be in this stupid club anymore. He figured it was better to resign as he didn't want to go through any more ridiculous initiation. Plus he didn't even understand what the Hero Club was about in the first place! But he had one problem…he wasn't quite sure where they met.

Snotlout was sharpening his new sword and lifted it so Ruffnut could see. (Yes Tuffnut got in trouble again and was now polishing the dragon tack.)

"Does this suite me?" he asked his female companion.

"Yeah. Fits you perfectly," she said, angling her own spear.

"You sure? It seems so much different than the hammer I usually carry."

"Hiccup made it so it can't be helped," she said as if it were perfectly logical. Snotlout looked up at Ruffnut.

"What is it?" she asked when she caught him staring. Bluntly he reached forward and grabbed Ruffnut's breasts.

"What the hell you idiot!" she yelled but didn't pull away.

"You really do have big boobs," he said feeling the satisfying weight in his palms.

"SNOTLOUT!" she yelled, raising her fist.

"Just pretend it's Hiccup," he said messaging the mounds of flesh under the thick wool tunic.

"How the hell am I supposed to do that?" she demanded.

"Well when we were kids we used to look a lot alike so imagine I am a more Viking-y version of Hiccup," he said. Then, as if to drive the point home. " 'I am Hiccup.' I used to use that line all the time when we were growing up." He moved his hand to Ruffnut's chin. Her startled expression excited him.

"I love you, Ruffnut."

"Snotlout."

"I just told you. I am Hiccup right now. Just for now pretend that its Hiccup in front of you."

"What the-"

"Practice. Practice for the real thing."

"Got it," she murmured as Snotlout's lips moved closer to hers.

"Just don't forget to call me Hiccup."

"Uhh, what are you doing, Hiccup?" she asked. He looked into her blue/grey eyes.

"Well…" he cupped her cheek and pulled her lips into his. He opened his mouth to the kiss and their tongues began to dance. Ruffnut was sitting there relaxed into the kiss but afraid to move. However, the involuntary moans she gave off told Snotlout he was doing just what she wanted. He pressed her closer against a nearby pine, deepening the kiss as she whimpered. He pulled back a few moments later. Ruffnut's breath was coming in heaving gasps.

"Snotlout," she gasped. He smirked.

"Ya know Ruff, since Hiccup's my cousin, you just had an indirect kiss." Ruffnut blushed and touched her swollen lips. "Hey we need to be getting back," he said, looking up at the sky.

"W-wait," Ruffnut stuttered, "C-can we practice that again?" she asked, a blush painting her face. Snotlout looked at her surprised. "You don't want to…Hiccup?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Odin's ghost I'm an idiot he thought as he moved over to her. "Sure." He was doing something so meaningless to her, but slowly her hand reached up and clutched his. But he knew better. He wasn't the one she was looking at. Suddenly the sound of a snapping twig drug the two out of their reverie. They pulled apart quickly and straightened themselves up.

"Uh? Is this where the Hero's Club meets?" came the nervous voice of Hiccup.

"Hiccup," Snotlout said curtly, as if proving that he was hiding something.

"What's up dude?" Ruffnut said, her face still red. Hiccup looked suspiciously around the clearing.

"What are you two up to?"

"Nothing," Snotlout said a little too quickly, "What about you? Finally feel like doing your part in your initiation?"

"No, that's not why I'm here. I wanted to resign from the club."

"Sorry," Snotlout said, blatently, "Now, since I am busy with something else, I will be leaving."

"Snotlout wait," Ruffnut called.

"Hiccup, make sure you walk Ruffnut home," the larger of the two boys said, leaving the clearing.

"What are you busy with?" Hiccup asked.

"Something important. Got it squirt," he shot harshly. "Alright I'm gone."

"Wait, Snotlout!" Ruffnut shouted. He turned back and winked at Ruffnut. Good luck he mouthed to his friend. An understanding and grateful smile washed over her face.

Once he was far enough away, Snotlout leaned against a tree and slid down to its roots. He touched his lips and was reminded of the feel of Ruffnut against him, her tongue on his, the way she whimpered when he did something right. After a while he got up. Friendly voices met his ears. He looked through the trees and saw Hiccup and Ruffnut chatting on their way back to the cottage/bunker and thought That's where I'm supposed to be.

Kenju: I am glad you were pleasantly surprised :) I am sorry this chapter took so long to post I am VERY busy lately…it is crazy on the ranch. I am very flattered you liked this story so much and I am glad I captured the characters as well as I intended. To clear up any confusion about Fiyori, she like any sister or woman, has serious mood swings. I, being an older sister myself, can relate. Sometimes I try and help my brother with his girlfriends other times I can't stand them and try and get them to leave him alone so I kinda based Fi off of me and my brother. It's really just an overprotective, annoying, yet kind hearted sister thing :)
