It was almost dark and all of Berk was turning on their holiday lights. Marching up to Astrid's house, Hiccup punched the door a million of times. Now Hiccup thought about it, Plan D is kind of stupid, but it was too late now since Hiccup was already at Astrid's house. Hiccup knew there was fifty percent chance that confronting Astrid would solve everything. Hopefully, this plan would work out unlike the others she thought of. Besides, she would've got here sooner, but she needed to finish making everyone's gifts and making it by hand wasn't easy as it looks.
The door opened and Astrid smiled. Hiccup could see her house was full of decorations. She cold hear some holiday songs that everyone could recognized. Even though Astrid look like it, but she does love the holiday season and it's her favorite time of the year. Also it gives her an excuse to give out gifts to people and spend money on them no matter how much that refuse.
"Hey, Hiccup," Astrid greeted.
"Hey," Hiccup smiled. "Nice decorations."
"Thanks, my parents and I went all out this year."
"I can tell."
"Are you excited for the party tomorrow?"
"Are you kidding, of course I am!"
"I think you'll have a great time! I can't wait for you and NightFury to finally meet."
Who wouldn't be? Besides, Astrid was the one who set them up together and now Hiccup has crushes on two guys the same time! She felt like she was in a reality T.V. show sitcom where people would be laughing how a short girl like her likes to guys the same time and wasn't sure if one of them was the same person or not! Seriously, if someone did made a show like this, Hiccup would march over to Hollywood and strangle each one of them slowly.
"Um...Astrid," Hiccup sighed. "there's something I need to ask you something."
"What is it?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup took a breath. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but this was the only plan she had left. If only Hiccup had more time to think of more plans, everything could've turned out fine and she wouldn't had to do this!
"Is Toothless NightFury?" Hiccup finally asked.
Astrid blinked. "No, he isn't."
Hiccup's eyes widened. "What?"
"Toothless isn't NightFury."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
Hiccup growled. First Toothless's friends and now her best friend?! It's like as if they don't want her to find out if Toothless is really NightFury and are just saying that to make her stop finding out! Was there something wrong if she found out or is it just for laughs? Hiccup wasn't sure, but she just couldn't take no as an answer. There was no way Astrid could lie to her about this, right?
"Astrid, look at me in the eyes and tell me, is Toothless, NightFury?" Hiccup demanded.
"Hiccup-"
"Astrid, please."
Astrid stared at Hiccup's eyes. She could see her reflection in her friend's blue eyes. The two stared at each other for a long time. Hiccup wasn't sure how long it was, but she could tell it was more than a few minutes. She prayed Astrid will tell her than what everyone was telling her. All the evidence and similar personality that Toothless and NightFury had, they had to be the same person.
"Toothless isn't NightFury," Astrid finally spoke.
Hiccup narrowed her eyes. "I see...sorry, I bothered you."
"It's alright Hiccup, everyone has those moments."
"I know, I'll see you tomorrow, bye."
"Bye."
Hiccup gave her friend a smile, turned around, leaving. She took out her phone, texting her parents that she won't be home for dinner because she needed to do some stuff and will eat at a nearby store, which they replied they were fine with that as long as she's be careful. Hiccup went into the park as snow started to fall. She sat down the nearest bench and sighed. For some reason she didn't feel hungry. Just depressed! What was she going to do? All the evidence that pointed Toothless as NightFury, just went down the drain!
Maybe everyone was right all along. Toothless isn't NightFury, but Hiccup couldn't help it, but believe he is! Even NightFury and her mother told her that he's closer than she thinks and Hiccup thought that person was Toothless! Hiccup hugged her legs, resting her chin on her knees. She hated this. She hated how everything wasn't turned out the way she planned it. How would this work tomorrow? She doesn't want to hurt NightFury, but at the same time she doesn't want to hurt Toothless either. Maybe it's the best to reject them both so that way she wouldn't have to deal a love triangle drama.
"Hiccup?" a voice said.
Hiccup turned and saw Toothless. She blinked and her face blushed a bit, giving him a small smile. Toothless walked over other and sat down. He had a cup of coffee and a bag of treats in his hands.
"What are you doing here alone?" Toothless asked.
"Nothing," Hiccup muttered. "Aren't you supposed to be at a party?"
"I ditched, duh, besides," he moved closer to her. "Is there something wrong with you because you seemed upset?! No one shouldn't be upset during Christmas Eve!"
Hiccup didn't want to tell him about her whole problem. She didn't want him to get hurt by her because of a somewhat love triangle. Toothless was like a ideal boyfriend! Someone who was always by her side no matter what and doesn't mind about her personality and everything about her. NightFury counts too, but this was too hard for her to choose. She has a guy who she could see all the time and hung out with him, while the other guy is where Hiccup doesn't even know who he looks like!
"Something just came up and I just wanted to be alone," Hiccup said.
Toothless pursed his lips. "Want some sweets?"
"No, I don't feel like it."
"Come on, it'll make you feel better."
"I don't want it."
"If you don't eat it, then I'll just feed it to you."
As Hiccup gaped at him, Toothless shoved a chocolate truffle into her mouth. Hiccup blinked and chewed the chocolate treat. She gave her friend a smile as he handed her another treat. Hiccup sighed and continued to eat a few more truffles until they were half gone. Toothless snickered, handing her his coffee. Hiccup took a small sip, tasting the flavor of vanilla.
"Told you sweets can help, princess," Toothless winked.
Hiccup stared at him. He called her princess and winked at her. The only person who would call her that was NightFury and Toothless just did something that NightFury would do if he saw her like this. A part of her wanted to believe Toothless is NightFury, but Hiccup wasn't so a sure anymore. Maybe she should just wait until she meets NightFury and see what they should do about her liking two guys the same time.
Then Toothless stood up and held out his hand. "May, I escort you home for the night, princess? A lady like you shouldn't walk alone without a gentleman to accompany her?"
Hiccup giggled. "Of course you may."
Hiccup took his hand as they walked out of the park. The two kept their hands locked together as they passed through stores and people. Hiccup could feel a blush creeping form her neck. Holding Toothless's hand was warm and comforting. It was something that she always wanted in a guy. Someone who was always there for you. Hiccup opened her mouth and closed it. She wanted to asked Toothless about NightFury, but at the same time she wanted to wait until tomorrow to speak to NightFury about it.
Once they got to Hiccup's house, Hiccup could see the lights were still on. She knew her parents were up, preparing for the party for tomorrow and everything else they had to bring.
Hiccup turned and smiled. "Thank you for escorting me home, my prince."
Toothless smirked. "Aw, now you're giving me a pet name."
Hiccup rolled her eyes. "Shut up, you were the one who started it."
"True and I can't help it, but to me, you're my princess."
Blushing, Hiccup put her hands in her pocket. "Um...I'll see you tomorrow."
Toothless smiled. "I'll see you too, princess, bye!"
Toothless gave her a wink as he walked down the steps. Hiccup giggled to herself and went inside her house. She walked up the stairs, ignoring her father's lecture about not missing dinner ever again. As Hiccup went into her room, she sat at her desk, wrapping the presents. That was the only thing she needed to do because she already made all of the presents to everyone important to her. Then she noticed a message on her phone.
NightFury: Had a good day, princess? Do you miss me? ;)
OneLeg_VikingHero: Oh yes, almost one whole day without you was heartbreaking.
NightFury: Excited for the party tomorrow?
OneLeg_VikingHero: Are you kidding? Hel yeah!
NightFury: I can't wait to meet you. You might be a little surprised when you meet me.
OneLeg_VikingHero: Why is that? Do I know you outside from out conversation?
NightFury: Maybe princess, maybe ;)
OneLeg_VikingHero: Well, I'm done trying to find out, so I'll see what happens when I finally meet you.
NightFury: Now that's the deal I can take.
OneLeg_VikingHero: Anyway, I can't talk much.
NightFury: Aww, why?!
OneLeg_VikingHero: I need to wrap some presents. I'll talk to you face to face tomorrow anyway.
NightFury: True, but I know you'll miss talking to me.
OneLeg_VikingHero: As if.
NightFury: You're so cute when you're stubborn!
OneLeg_VikingHero: and you're so weird when you're annoying!
NightFury: Hey!
OneLeg_VikingHero: lol, I really have to get back to wrapping, alright?
NightFury: okay, talk to you tomorrow, princess! ;)
OneLeg_VikingHero: Yeah you too!
Last chapter will be on Christmas! So be prepare!
