Chapter 4

Ok chapter 4 so yeah just gonna keep moving on from chapter 3

Hiccup latches on and soars to his house, the fire was out so it was pitch black luckily toothless can see in the dark, they slowly made their way into Hiccup's bedroom upstairs carefully without making too much noise, for they might wake his father up. The last thing he wanted was another one of his lectures for always flying late at night. They got past stoicks room without too much of a fuss hiccup sighs in relief once he arrives at his room. he pats toothless head...

Hiccup: goodnight bud augh.. Great, ook ook bud, I appreciate the love (sighs and whipes off the saliva)

Toothless nods and licks his face once and then lights a fire circle on his stone slab for a bed

Hiccup: thank you toothless.. like I don't smell bad enough

Hiccup takes off his riding gear leaving him with his green tunic on, and then he made his way to his soft and seemingly enticing bed. As soon as he opens the covers he feels an unusual pillow beside him, it was unusual since he only had one pillow and it was under his head. He disregards the thought maybe because he was too tired, flying all night can do that to a person, not to mention his sore ribs and arms from all the physical trauma communicating with astrid brings. But just before he fully reaches unconsciousness the unsual pillow moves..

Hiccup: wha-? what was that?

He sits up and pulls down the covers. He wasn't a dragon so he couldn't see what the pillow looked like, but he tries harder squinting even more, thankfully his eyes adjusted a little bit and the moonlight from his window shown down the room and made things a little less blury. But too his surprise the pillow was breathing and it had hair wait..

Hiccup: oh gods, why is there a person in my bed? Ok think... (Should i give him some privacy or.. Wait this is my room he should be the one giving me privacy)

hiccup taps the shoulder of the person, he was facing the other way so hiccup couldn't really see his face but he was awfully skinny for a guy, well.. Hiccup's not really the burliest spud in the field so he can't really judge him. The person slowly reacted by turning his head first but he was still very much asleep, he turns his head and...

Hiccup: heather!?

Hiccup still very much shocked at the revelation, falls flat on his but on the floor of his room. Luckily the noise wasn't loud enough to wake his father up but was good enough to wake heather up, she sits up and turns her head towards the direction of the noise

Hiccup: oww..

Heather: (yawn) hmm? Whaaat was thwat?

Hiccup: u-uhh hey.. Um.. I don't know if you've noticed buut.. You're kinda in my room, on my bed.. Sleeping

Heather: yeah, it's not the most comfortable bed buut it'll do.. Wait who're youu?

Clearly heathers eyes are still partly blind due to the abrupt awakening; it is after all pitch black in there...

Hiccup: uh hiccup?..

Heather: oh hey hiccuup..

Hiccup: uh.. hey to you to.. Heather

Heather lays back down on hiccups bed but.. After pondering her thoughts and repeating their conversation in her head she sits back up, livelier this time and rubs her eyes, then she stares at hiccup squinting trying to focus her bed ridden eyes on the person. Hiccup on the other hand just stays still from his fallen position still awkwardly waiting for the next thing to happen

Heather: hiccup! Is that you?

Hiccup: uuh yeah

Heather: wait so you're back from your flight

Hiccup: yeah, I just got here a few minutes ago

Heather: did you talk with the chief?

Hiccup: my dad? No he's sound asleep, wouldn't wanna wake him up now

Heather: ooh so I guess you didn't know yet?

Hiccup: uh know what?

Heather: well..

Hiccup: well?

Heather: well, astrid was right.. The chief got us a place to stay.. for a few days at least

Hiccup: that's great buut.. whaat are you doing here?

Heather: that's just it.. since there wasn't any vacant houses at the town yet, the chief decided to let us stay here until they've built a new home for us.. But it's only for a few days..

Hiccup: ooh ok I guess..

Heather: sorry.. for being a bother-

Hiccup: no! It's ok (awkward laugh) It's ok really

Heather: but where are you going to sleep? Mom and dad's in the spare room

Hiccup: really? Well then, I guess I'm gonna be sleeping with you b-

Heather: what? Hiccup uh.. I don't think we should be...

Hiccup: what? (Pfft) It's no big deal

Heather: it's not?

Hiccup: well yeah, toothless doesn't mind me sleeping on him.. Right bud..

Toothless looks up at the two and ignores hiccups suggestion, he curls up in his stone slab and covers his face

Hiccup: toothleess..

Heather: oh you meant-

Hiccup: huh?

Heather: uuh nevermind.. He doesn't seem too pleased (laugh)

Hiccup: what? Toothless? Nah he's just a little stub- (tries to move toothlesses tail for space) -born

Toothless whips his tail, which sends hiccup sitting on the floor. Toothless snickers at him..

Hiccup: ok.. You asked for it..

Hiccup jumps toothless and wrestles him. Obviously a night fury versus any viking would be an easy victory for the dragon but hiccup wasn't any viking, he happens to be the only viking who was able to bring down the legend of the night the night fury but unfortunately he was still hiccup...

Hiccup: give up yet..

Toothless just lets him do whatever he wants, still remaining firmly planted on his slab, while rolling his eyes at hiccup

Heather: (giggle) you got him on the ropes..

Toothless raises his neck, leaving his itch spot open for the scratch. Hiccup doesn't waste a second and starts scratching his neck then suddenly making his way to toothlesses itch spot, which is located at the lower side of his neck. Toothless falls to his slab with a content smile, leaving heather astonished at the feet she just witnessed..

Heather: woah.. How did you do that?

Hiccup: huh? Do what?

Heather: knock toothless out..

Hiccup: oh this, just scratch the bottom of his neck..

Heather: that's it? Just scratch his neck?

Hiccup: yeah.. But it's not always the same with other dragons

Heather: really, what about a deadly nadders? Where do i scratch her?

Hiccup: a deadly nadder.. Probably below the-

Toothless interrupts their conversation and licks hiccups face

Hiccup: whoa.. Hey bud, up so soon (laugh) sorry Heather.. Mr. bossy over here wants his sleep.. can we hold the dragon questions for tomorrow?

Heather: (laugh) of course, i wouldn't want to keep you away from your girlfriend

Hiccup: oh haha very funny (sarcastic) I'm not even gonna answer that

Heather: hmm.. Soo you're not denying it either, should I be worried?

Hiccup: what? I'm not having an affair with my dragon, besides Toothless is my bestfriend..

Heather: really? (giggle)

Hiccup: just go to sleep..

Heather: fine, but I'm still worried about you two

Hiccup: thank you.. I appreciate the concern (sarcastic) goodnight heather

Heather: (giggle) goodnight hiccup

Toothless moves a little bit to the right, making enough room for hiccup to lay on his side. As soon as hiccup rests his head toothless covers his stomach in a somewhat hugging manner with his tail, which hiccup thanks him for. Little did they know heather was still observing them, she then tucks herself in and shifts to the right side facing the wall rather than facing hiccup and toothless. After a few minutes hiccup and toothless are sound asleep but heather was not, infact she was wide awake. Maybe too excited about tomorrow's events or maybe she just couldn't sleep tonight because she enjoyed their conversation so much. She quietly shifts to her left finally facing the two figures, her vision was blurry from shutting her eyes, she's not sure whether hiccup is legitimately sleeping so she tries and asks..

Heather: hiccup?.. Hiiccuup.. Are you awake?

She sits up to take a closer look at the two, to see if they or hiccup at least are awake buut they weren't.. In fact hiccup was hugging toothlesss tail while sleeping making heather, choke on her own laughter for a bit. She composes herself and begins to stare at them or more precisely hiccup...

Heather: (sigh) must be nice having a bestfriend.. Wonder when I'll get one?.. I hope it'll be someone like him (looks at toothless)... Or maybe it'll be someone like you (looks at hiccup).. (Smiles) yeah.. Who am i kidding.. You already have toothless for that.. And you already have astrid for.. "that" too.. (Sigh) I just need some sleep..

She lays down on Hiccup's bed and closes her eyes.. Right before finally having a hint of drowsiness, she peeks with one eye and looks at hiccup, slightly slobbering on toothless tail..

Heather: maybe.. (smiles)

Then heather falls asleep, and the night goes on peacefully... Meanwhile in the arena

Fishlegs: of course she didn't forget about us girl.. Wait is that hiccup.. nope just another terrible terror.. Signal, signal, where's the signal..

After another few minutes...

Fishlegs: I can't believe she forgot about us!.. Maybe I should just leav- (don't even think about leaving - astrid) augh! If she wasn't such a violent person I would've left hours ago..

Meatlug: gaaawk
