"Hiccup," Thuggory smiled.
"Wha?" Hiccup blinked up at the man. It was like, 5 am, Hiccup wasn't due to set out to meet him for another four hours.
It dawned on Hiccup that he was practically naked, save for the covers.
"So, ready to go in there and go look for her?"
Hiccup blinked at him shyly, drawing his sheets up closer, and it seemed that Thuggory got the message. Only, he didn't react the way Hiccup had been hoping, instead he threw his head back laughing.
"Oh, dude, oh man. Oh, oh," he laughed. "Chill, Hiccup. I doubt it's anything I haven't seen since we dated!"
And yes, Hiccup blushed, they had dated. Shortly after Camicazi had gone missing and their elite little group had gone down to two, both boys, heavily guilt-ridden and upset about the loss of their friend, ended up together. It didn't work out in the end, though. Hiccup felt too guilty, as though he were taking advantage of Thuggory's emotional turmoil and vice versa, but Hiccup probably felt it more having known that Thuggory liked Camicazi and that she liked him back.
He groaned. Fuck, this was going to be awkward…
.
Was it awkward? Fuck-yes!
Hiccup was blushing the entire time they flew towards the Amazon. It took a while…
.
Toothless was humming in his room, reading a book. He could hear Baldy across the room, sparring with Katrina. His sister wasn't due to arrive until the night.
He snorted, and to think that Baldy thought he had the right to rename the robot. Alberta? Please, she was so obviously a Katrina!
He hummed. He should probably be working on his machine. He had, what now? Two months and a bit to finish it.
Sighing greatly, he got up. The voices had been talking to him again, last night in fact. He still needed twelve more things. Eleven would be easy, the twelfth… not so much…
.
Hiccup groaned. They weren't flying because the trees were so tall that if they flew above them they'd miss everything, and flying below the treetops would result in impalement via branch.
They'd been walking for over seven hours and hadn't taken a break or anything. He was tired, thirsty and, most importantly hungry! Thuggory had barely given him enough time to get his money's worth from the hotel buffet!
His face was flush from the humidity. Iceland was not this hot. There was quite literally a river of sweat being left behind every step they took, courtesy of the Horrendous Haddock.
.
Toothless hummed... maybe he should go get some more of the ingredients… hmmm… there was an ancient relic he needed to find. He groaned. Time to set aflight to Mexico! He had a feeling everything was going to hurt after this.
