'How did training go so fast?' Hiccup thought as he headed with Astrid and his cousin to get Toothless. They were leaving, there was no way he could stay and try to take the monstrous nightmare. He would likely get his whole family in trouble, or in a worse case scenario, get killed. "I'll find Toothless." Snotlout said, going to look for his cousin.
"Nice place here." The voice caused both Hiccup and Astrid to freeze. They turned to see the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Without another word, Ruffnut grabbed Astrid's arms so she cannot move to stop Tuffnut.
"My sister and I don't know how you got so good, but we are going to make you tell us." Tuffnut snarled, striking the red-haired boy. Then, an angry, furious roar filled the air. All four stiffened, Hiccup and Astrid for a different reason. They both knew that voice.
However, Hiccup heard a "NOOOO!" when the roar sounded. In an instant, Tuffnut was flying. In his place stood a night fury. It was Toothless, Hiccup's twin brother. Ruffnut started to try to attack, only to find Snotlout holding her back.
"Don't you dare attack my cousin!" she froze and turned in surprise.
"Your cousin?" sensing things were calmer and all fight was out of her, Toothless stopped growling, but his glare did not soften. That is, until he turned towards his brother.
"Hic, you and Astrid alright?" he asked, throwing another growl at Tuffnut as he stirred from where Toothless thew him.
Hiccup and Astrid got up from where they, in Hiccup's case fell and in Astrid's shoved to the ground. "We're fine Tooth." Hiccup said, chuckling at his brother's protectiveness.
"Gee, Tooth, how many Vikings are you going to tackle?" Astrid teased, making sure to use Toothless's nickname. Toothless replied with a playful growl that really didn't mean anything.
Tuffnut headed for Hiccup again, only to get a face full of protective dragon. He was not the only thing glaring at Tuffnut. Before Snotlout could tell the boy to back off and calm Toothless, Hiccup spoke up. "Esay, Tooth. TUffnut, I don't think you should get near me now."
Ruffnut nodded, going to stand next to him. The only thing this got from Toothless was a low warring growl. She scooted a little further from Hiccup, mummering a soft 'sorry' under her breath. Hiccup did not have to translate THAT message.
Toothless relaxed, heading to her. Ruffnut stiffened, but something told her Toothless was not going to hurt her. Unforcently, Tuffnut did not have such faith. He did not see Toothless's pupils go from slits to circles, making him look more cute than dangerous. "Ruff, don't" To his surprise, both Toothless and Ruffnut glared at him.
"He's not going to hurt her, Tuff. She is not the one that's still aggressive." Hiccup said. Even though his brother had been quite exapt for those threats earlier, he knew his twin well enough to know what he was thinking. And if his body language was anything to go by, harming the blonde haired girl was the farthest thing from his mind.
Sure enough, Toothless gently touched his snout to her palm, nodding his head slightly, making her hand go up and down as well, she laughed. "Nice to meet you."
Toothless smiled. "Nice to meet you too." Hiccup quietly translated.
Then he added. "Toothless here is my twin brother. I knew he was not going to harm you as soon as his eyes changed."
Toothless laughed. "That's right, brother mine." He said, punching his shoulder with a black paw. Making Hiccup laugh and gently shove him. Toothless made himself 'stumble' a little, before tackling his twin. While they play fought, Hiccup thought over his plans to change the rest of his tribes' minds about dragons.
After everyone calmed down, Toothless talked Hiccup into taking Ruffnut and Tuffnut stunt flying.
Da da dun! And yep I thought to throw the twins into this.
