"Why Are You Helping Again"
"So… what should you cook for me?" Hiccup asked as he guided Astrid back towards the kitchen
"Hmm… Well, I was thinking something like" she widened her eyes and stopped abruptly "Ok, there are two problems with our current situation" she held a finger up "One, I don't have a clue on how to cook!" Astrid sighed exasperatedly
"How about the soup you cooked for me before?" Hiccup asked
Astrid gave him a blank look "Yeah, well… we both knew how that went, remember?" Astrid asked while shaking her head
Hiccup thought about what she said and finally remembered what she meant and he shivered unconsciously "You don't have to tell me twice"
Astrid sighed and pinched her nose "Where was I? Oh, right…" this time she raised two fingers "Two, aren't you supposed to help me with my problem?"
Hiccup tilted his head to the side "Problem? What was that again?"
Astrid's eye twitched "You know, the one where Ruffnut LOST HER PURITY!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Hiccup winced by the sheer loudness of her voice
Hiccup shushed her "Hey, keep it down… I thought you wanted it to be a secret…"
Astrid so wanted to walk away and ignore him but she really did need his help since he was the only able to talk to the boys without it getting too awkward. Astrid sighed through her nose and grabbed Hiccup's hand and started dragging him away from the house.
"Wait, I thought you wanted answers? Isn't Fishlegs the most logical choice to be asked first?" Hiccup inquired
Astrid gave him an uncomfortable look "Well… you see… he isn't our primary suspect…"
"Really? So are you implying Snotlout did it?" Hiccup was now glaring ahead. Astrid didn't want Hiccup to blame his cousin for nothing.
"No… we're suspecting someone else…"
"Hmm…" Hiccup furrowed his brows as he thought about what Astrid said "If it wasn't Fishlegs or Snotlout then that only leaves one pe-" Hiccup couldn't finish his next question. He stared at Astrid with his mouth and eyes wide open.
Astrid sighed once again and nodded sadly. Hiccup shook his head from the shock and furrowed his brows again.
"Something's not right…" Hiccup said as he started pacing
Astrid gazed at him worriedly "Hiccup…"
"No! I refuse to believe that! There has got to be an explanation!" he said while grabbing a handful of his hair and pulled at it
"That's why we're going to ask questions rather than jumping to conclusions…" Astrid said wisely "I know it sounds absurd but it's the only clue we got"
It was then Hiccup noticed something "Wait, is Ruffnut ok with the fact that you're snooping around?"
Astrid laughed nervously "Well… I wouldn't call it snooping… More like, helping a friend in need"
Hiccup crossed his arms while wearing a confident smirk "I see…"
Astrid clenched her hands and rested them on her hips "What?"
Hiccup shook his head while slowly chuckling "Nothing nothing…" he grabbed her fist and started pulling towards the docks where Snotlout and Tuffnut were hanging…
-Docks-
Snotout yawned as he and Tuffnut was still hanged up at the mast. Snotlout noticed Hiccup and Astrid coming closer and he nudged Tuffnut "Hey, Astrid and Hiccup are coming back! Hey guys! Finally realized that you forgot to get us down?" he shouted but both teens ignored what he said
"Hey Tuffnut!" Astrid cupped her hands around her mouth so that he would hear her "I need to ask you a few questions!"
The male twin shrugged his shoulders as much as he could "Sure, it's not like Snot and I are going anywhere"
"After the party, where were you sleeping?" Astrid asked. Tuffnut visibly got irritated, evident by his scowling face
"Why don't you ask my dear sister? She's the one punching people on the face for sleeping in her bed"
It was confirmed, Tuffnut was asleeped in his sister's bed.
"What were you doing there in the first place?"
Tuffnut shrugged again "Fish was in my bed. I was planning to wake him up but I noticed that he was naked under my covers and even though I was drunk I didn't want to scar myself."
"Naked? As in full body?" Hiccup inquired
"I don't know… I was drunk, how was I to remember everything?"
Hiccup nodded to Astrid "Good point…"
"Was Ruffnut naked when you got in her bed?" Astrid asked
"Beats me… I was so drunk that I decided to sleep naked like I always do in her bed. Worst. Decision. Ever" Tuffnut shook his head.
Hiccup sighed and looked at Astrid "Well, I guess we really do need to ask Fishlegs about this…" Astrid nodded her head. Hiccup and Astrid started walking away.
"Hey! You're still leaving us here?!" Snotlout shouted hysterically
"Oh, Tuff, thanks!" Hiccup called back with a thumbs up
Tuffnut returned the gesture with a grin "No problem dude!"
"Dude?!" Snotlout stared at him incredulously
"What?" Tuffnut gave him a confused look
Snotlout groaned and wanted to smack his face "Nothing…"
-With Astrid and Hiccup-
"Do you think he was lying?" Astrid asked as they continued their way towards Hiccup's house.
Hiccup shook his head "If there is one thing I know about Tuffnut, it is that he doesn't know how to lie"
Astrid sighed "I guess you're right. Why didn't we question Snotlout yet?"
Hiccup smirked "Because he didn't boast it yet. Normally he would be shoving it to my face."
Astrid blinked at him "Sometimes I wonder why I doubt you"
"I think it's because of my sexist remarks" he supplied with a smile
Astrid beamed at him while kissing his cheek "You know me too well"
They finally arrived and noticed that there was smoke coming out from the kitchen, again.
Hiccup sighed and jogged inside while Astrid continued walking. Astrid heard some shouting and she could've sworn she heard a curse or two. When she entered the kitchen, her eyes widened. The once clean and comfortable kitchen was now reduced to look like a dragon's nest. Food was everywhere and the table was flipped over for unknown reasons. Astrid turned her gaze towards the lined-up teens, Fishlegs and Thuggory. Fishlegs had a nervous look in his eyes and was fidgeting in place while Thuggory was ignoring the ranting brunette infront of him.
Hiccup was now red on the face as he continued his ranting and swearing.
"Do you know what dad will do to me once he gets home?!" Hiccup asked but answered it on his own "That's right, he would kill me then he would force me to clean this mess!"
Fishlegs raised a finger "Uhmm… I don't think you would be able to clean this mess when you're dead…" he squeaked. Hiccup gave him the harshest glare he could muster and Fishlegs was so scared that he almost shitted his pants. Astrid saved him from being scolded by dragging him to the back.
Astrid could still hear Hiccup shouting from the inside and she swore she also heard Thuggory yawn.
Fishlegs sighed in relief and sent Astrid a grateful look "Thanks. I thought I was a goner back there"
Astrid shook her head "Don't count your dragons before they hatch. The reason I dragged you here is because I want you to answer some questions for me."
Fishlegs raised an eyebrow and a few seconds passed before he shrugged "Sure."
"Do you remember anything after you and Ruffnut went to her place two nights ago?" Astrid decided to be blunt because she was starting to lose her patience.
Fishlegs instantly blushed while his eyes widened. He stuttered and looked like he was going to lose consciousness but held on. His eyes darted everywhere but Astrid.
"I-I don't know what you're ta-talking about…" he obviously lied.
Astrid grabbed the front of his tunic and pulled him down so that they were inches apart while their eyes met. Fishlegs could've sworn that he was face-to-face with a monstrous nightmare rather than a teenage girl.
"I-I mean, of course I remember!" Fishlegs laughed awkwardly while Astrid let go of him. She didn't say anything and just crossed her arms over her chest. He held his gaze before closing his eyes and slumped shoulders "Fine, Ruff and I were, kissing, and it got the point where things were starting to get out of control. So I did what I normally do in that kind of situation…" he stopped
"And that is?" Astrid urged him.
Fishlegs sighed as his shoulders slumped even further until he was sitting on the ground "I backed out. Ruff was ready to do it but I chickened out on the last second."
Astrid's eyes widened and her arms hanged on her side "Wait! So you're telling me you two didn't do it?!"
Fishlegs nodded his head "I ran down the stairs and went outside to catch my breath. I was planning to return to what we were doing but I noticed she was already asleep when I got back so I went to the bed next to hers, probably Tuff's, and slept there."
Astrid furrowed her brows. "So it wasn't you or Tuffnut. That means the only person left to blame is…" Astrid had a determined look in her eyes as she focused her gaze towards the docks "Snotlout"
Fishlegs raised his head and tilted it to the side "Snotlout? What about him?"
"Never mind that. This conversation never happened, got it?" she glared at him and he nodded hastily. Astrid walked off and Fishlegs lied down on the ground in relief. Hiccup gazed down on him with a blank look. "Oh, hey Hiccup. Here to scold me?" Fishlegs asked sarcastically
Hiccup sighed "Nope. Where did she run off to?" he asked
"I think she was headed towards the docks"
"Thanks" and Hiccup left.
-Docks-
"I spy with my little eye… a brown floating object with a white thing above it…"
"Boat…"
"Oh you're good! Ok, ok! How about this one? I spy with my little eye…"
"Boat…"
"But-"
"It's a boat so shut up!" Snotlout snapped. Tuffnut has been playing I Spy, with himself, for 10 minutes and it was getting in Snotlout's nerves.
"Why are you so cranky?" Tuffnut asked
"Because nobody has let us down yet! We've been atop this thing for almost a day now! I'm hungry and your stupidity is just making it worse!"
Tuffnut looked hurt and sniffed "Dude, I have feelings you know…"
Snotlout rolled his eyes "Whatever"
"Snotlout!" somebody shouted from below so when both teens looked down, they were surprised to see an angry looking Astrid crossing her arms and baring her teeth.
Tuffnut sighed and gave Snotlout a blank look, their previous conversation already forgotten.
"Dude, what did you do this time?" Tuffnut asked dryly
"Nothing! I've been here stuck with you all day!" Snotlout glared at his friend
"Snotlout" Astrid repeated but this time a little calmer and her glare soften "I going to ask you questions and you answer them."
