The only bad thing about HQ? Training!
Baldy was in charge, of course, being the eldest of the Thompson family was only part of the reason. The other part?
"Ooof! Urgh!" Toothless groaned, having been thrown into- and knocking over- a pile of wooden blocks (Baldy put them there, didn't he?).
"Come on Toothless, surely you can do better than that!" Baldy teased.
'Oh, sure, you want better? Let's fight without the anti-power bracelets!' Toothless thought.
Fucking asshole!
The biggest reason Baldy was in charge of training was that he was an incredibly skilled fighter. The best in hand on hand combat in their entire clan, even better than their father, even better than Drachella!
His element was fire as well, and his powers also centred around lightning, but while his were of a more rudimentary kind, he was able to manipulate lightning, but he needed to draw it from the air. Toothless? His were the highest level of the highest class.
He was able to create lightning. They called the level 'Plasma'. Baldy's level was called 'Storm'.
Lightning was one of the few classes with more than one level. It was usually the highest or lowest class in an element that had more than one type.
Baldy had to train eight people, out of all of them the only not getting thrown into something would obviously be Carly.
Toothless felt anger stabbing him in the heart. They were such a cute couple, Carly and Baldy, and they would be nice married together, they would make great parents, the would have such a nice life. He felt tears fall down his cheeks as he exited HQ. Why was Baldy agreeing to this fight? Even if he won, he'd probably be comatose or might end up disabled or something. How could he do that to Carly? What about the life those two were obviously supposed to lead together?
He got back to his room. Oh great, Hiccup was there.
Hiccup turned to see who entered and frowned when he realized that something was wrong. He contemplated asking, but wondered if that was really what Toothless needed at the moment. Taking his cue, he exited the room. Toothless had been really emotional as of late, it was starting to worry him…
.
Hiccup was training with Snotlout.
"So, you and Eret, huh?" Hiccup made sure that the kick he landed on Snotlout was extra hard.
"Ow! Hey, I was just curious!"
"Snotlout, ask again and I'll take off my bracelet and fry you."
"Sorry! It's just that… you're my little cousin," Snotlout was blushing, "And-and it's my job to-" he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck.
Hiccup was not going to let his heart melt. He. Was. Not!
Hiccup sighed. "Look, I honestly don't know what it meant, Snotlout. I haven't really talked to him since then, but for me? Well, I was too drunk to really stop and think about it, but at the moment I guess it wasn't… permanent?"
Snotlout looked oddly relieved.
"So you're not in a relationship with the guy?"
"No, Snotlout."
"OK."
"OK?"
"Look," Snotlout sighed, "It's just that after everything that happened with Thuggory… and you're finally back on the wagon again, and I- I just don't want to see you, ya know, rushing into things."
Hiccup sighed, "Snotlout, you don't have to hold my hand and walk me through life, what happened between Thuggory and I is in the past, I've had over three years to age and mature, and now I think I'm ready to get back into the dating pool. Relax, I'm not going to centre my life around one quick fuck."
"Quick? But you guys were gone the whole night."
"… Multiple… multiple, quick fucks."
"Oh?" Snotlout raised his infuriating left brow, prompting Hiccup's next punch to be harder than it should've effectively knocking the boy off of his feet and onto the ground.
"Hiccup!" Astrid called.
"Yeah?"
"You're gonna wanna see this!"
