"What rots me from the inside...I will not transfer to you. What melts the flesh from my body...I will not spill on you. What makes me scream at night...I will not let it haunt you. What makes me strike you, what makes me wound you, what makes you cry...Will turn my back on you. I will save you from my hand...Even if it slaughters me in the process.

You are my Eden."

Hiccup turned, smearing his own hands over his face before unsteadily getting to his feet, watching after the boy Throston twin in open mouthed horror.

"You can't DO THAT! I'm not letting this END that way!" He started to run for the blonde, but stopped when Tuffnut slowly turned towards him, reaching out to run his fingers absently over the cooing Nightmare. "That isn't FAIR! You're not sick! If you are then I am too!" Hiccup stomped a foot, almost screaming he was so upset. Tuffnut shook his head though, frowning a bit deeper as he did, watching his distorted reflection in the blood colored scales beneath his hand.

"Don't say something so stupid." He grumbled, Hiccup smirking as maliciously as the blonde had before, putting his hands on his hips and tilting his head at the raw spot he had found.

"It's true! I'm JUST as sick, and JUST as black on the inside as YOU are. I HAVE to be. I ENJOYED your little show back there." He pointed towards the back of the barn and the spot they had been in, then grinned back at the grimacing blonde. "That's right. You MARKED me with your STUPID, imaginary sickness, and I ENJOYED every fucking bit of it." Another smug look of satisfaction took over his face as he once again revealed in the power trip he went on when he got to fight back.

Now he knew why the twins fought so much to be the right one, and why Tuffnut felt the need to completely dominate anything he went against; even him. It was an amazing rush. "So, you CAN'T just leave me and pretend THAT shit never happened. It DID, whether you fucking like it or not." He pointed to the back of the barn again, frowning another time as he remembered how pissed off he was at the exchange before hand.

Tuffnut turned on him, glaring and balling his fists as his side again, vainly sucking in deep, calming breaths through his teeth as he stomped towards the brunette again. "-I- decide what goes on here and -I- say you need to back the FUCK up and go wash the STINK of this whole MISTAKE off by sticking your prick in ASTRID." He jabbed at Hiccup's chest as he spoke, snarling while backing the smaller boy up a few paces, eyes once again boring holes into him. "I'm NOT going to ruin EVERYTHING you mean to me because I'm so SELFISH I have to go and stick MY prick in YOU! You are NOT going to LET ME ruin everything I have done to STOP this DISEASE from taking over the BOTH OF US! Now, ." He threw his finger at the doorway, leaning so close that their noses grazed each other every time one of them took a breath, then he backed up.

Hiccup didn't know what to think and he didn't know what to say, he just stood there looking at the floor and rubbing his arm, knowing that he didn't want things to stop like this. Knowing that he didn't like the suddenly empty air between them. For a few seconds he had felt connected to someone in a way he had never felt before. For a few seconds the air around him didn't seem so empty, didn't seem like it was lacking something. And, for a few seconds, though he was terrified of it, he had been HAPPY to do something sexual.

The blonde whipped back around when he found Hiccup standing there like a kicked puppy. He bit back his softer urges to go hug the boy and pull him in the hay for a nap. Instead he tightened his lips and took a quick, threatening step forward, making the smaller boy flinch into recognition. "FINE. YOU won't leave? I'LL leave." He spun on his heel, kicking the bucket of water as he passed it, storming out of the barn as he tried to forget the hurt in the boy's eyes.

~~**~~AGAIN, He's NOT saying that "being gay" is a "disease" XD I want to make that loud and clear. Do NOT take this conversation the wrong way, read the entire story before reading this section! Tuffnut is simply saying that he's infected/sick/diseased because he WANTS to beat the hell out of Hiccup, tie him down, fuck him, and expects the boy to still say "I love you" in the end. He doesn't want to HURT Hiccup, so he's separating himself from him. He THINKS he's being a man lol~~**~~
