One for Each Day of the Year
Hiccup turned to Merida, "What?"
She smirked. "One word. Haiku."
She got up and left.
"Poetry? I suck at poetry!" Hiccup whined, "The best thing I made was one of those roses are red poems..."
Rapunzel snorted as she giggled.
Hiccup glared at her.
How was he gonna write 365 poems that had seventeen syllables?
Why did it have to be poetry?!
"I suggest ye get started, and you have to write them, yerself, no cheating!" Merida called through the open window, "Bye!"
Jack sighed as he poked Merida's old stuffed bear. Her mother had made it for her, when she was four.
Apparently, they had gone camping, when a bear decided to invade their campsite.
Merida was freaked out, so in order to help her get over her slight phobia, Elinor had made her a teddy bear, which, oddly enough, was named ELINOR.
"I'm back!" Merida walked over to him.
Jack looked at her, "What did you do?"
"Nothing, I just told him he had a year to fix his mistake."
"Why a year?"
"Because."
"That's not a...you know what, never mind."
Merida smirked as she saw the familiar book.
Mou shitte ita.*
While the title was in Japanese, the whole book iitself, was in English.
Hiccup sighed.
Damn you Merida.
Why couldn't she just beat the crap out of him?
No, she had to make him do, the one thing he couldn't.
Be poetic.
'Damn it...' Hiccup groaned, 'this is stupid! Why can't Jack and I have sorry sex?'
He looked at the blank sheet of paper.
It's not that he didn't know how a haiku worked, he just had no idea what to write.
'I guess I can start with snow, he loves snow.'
Hiccup bit his lips.
'Okay, how about..."Gentle, soft, falling from the sky in a..." ah, fuck this!'
Hiccup threw his pen down.
He stared at a picture of him and Jack.
Grumbling, he picked the pen back up, and began to write.
That night, when Merida was checking the mail, she found a card for Jack.
The back just said, 'To Jack. HHH.'
Smirking, she ran to the guest room where Jack was staying. As soon as she got there, she dropped the smirk and opened the door.
Jack looked up at her, "What's up?"
Merida handed over the card.
"Here," she smiled, "I have a feeling yer gonna like it."
Jack stared as she left.
He opened the card, pulled put the small note, and went red.
Jackson Overland Frost,
Like the snow in winter,
You are beautiful.
HHH.
Hiccup sighed. 1 down, 364 to go.
Review!
*Japanese. It's from Kanon's Last Regrets. It means, "To keep going on with a smile."
Ha! Yes! Haikus! I love them!
But they are kinda hard to write. I have to keep mouthing the words, but it's fun. It's fun.
So, those who guessed, sorry. You were wrong. But nice try!
Okay, so we are accepting themes to write about.
Well, for HICCUP to write.
