"So, that's the spot ye've been workin' on for these past few days?" Hiccup implied, staring at the mentioned area next to Astrid's house, which was surrounded by the throwing targets. "I thought ya had finished with it."
"I never will, Hiccup. When will ya learn?" Astrid snorted, leaning her axe against her shoulder. "Best of three?"
"You got it," Heather responded, grinning widely as she gripped her axe, hard. "Watch and learn," she mocked, winking at Astrid, before throwing her axe, which hit the target, perfectly. "Impressed?"
"No," Astrid snickered and stroke the next target, the same accurately. "I can do it in my sleep."
"I know a lot of other things you also could," Heather responded, smirking and gazing at Astrid until they were interrupted by a loud groan.
"Can ya leave the flirtin' for later?" Ruffnut, who had been dragged along with them on their way to the area, grumbled. "I need ya to focus, so I can rightfully beat yer asses," she scoffed, but when she threw her weapon, it landed slightly under the target. "Damn it!"
"How it was? Beat our asses?" Astrid sniggered and frowned, just as Ruffnut tossed her dagger, which shoot at the center. "That's not an axe."
"It's always 'that's not an axe', and only because ya know that once we'll compete with daggers I would win," Ruffnut assured, glaring at Astrid, annoyed.
"Reason why we won't," Astrid nagged, squirming her eyes at Ruffnut, simpering.
"We could play with daggers once we finish this," Heather proposed, before glancing at Hiccup, pointing at her with her chin. "You're up."
"Me? Maybe, it'd be better if I passed," Hiccup indicated, smiling nervously and shrugging. "I don't mind watchin', it's even better, actually. Besides, I don't know the rules."
"What's here to understand?" Heather retorted, moving to her, passing her the axe, that moment ago was connected to her other one, as a double one, and led her before the empty target. "You throw and whoever got the most accurate wins. Simple."
"Okay, but I warn ya, I'm pretty bad at this," Hiccup chuckled, before taking aim and throwing the metal object, which landed halfway towards the intended target.
Gritting her teeth, Hiccup peeked at her companions, turning scarlet from embarrassment. While Heather forced a smile, the other two narrowed their eyes, boring holes into her, until Astrid grunted.
"How ya survived on the Berk will remain secret," she sneered as the whole group stepped forward to pick their axes, and while so, she raised her chin. "Now, I'll show ya how it's done."
"Come on! Show him how it's done!" Snotlout yelled, gnashing his teeth, nervously.
He and Tuffnut sat near the almost completed training arena, leaning forward, watching the scene within. Inside, the two dragons- the black and red ones- fought with vigor, as their roars and the excited shouts of the surrounding Vikings filled the air.
"Finish him, finally!" Tuffnut shouted and cheered, being on cloud nine as his prayers were fulfilled and the Monstrous Nightmare lay defeated on the ground. "Ha! Pay up!" he ordered, pulling his open palm towards Snotlout next to him.
Subsequently, while groaning, Snotlout listened, dropping two gold coins into his pouch while glaring at Hookfang, who had just gotten out from under Toothless. "I believed in ya," he grumbled, gritting his teeth.
Simultaneously, Toothless changed himself, just to remind, "Half of it is mine," Tuffnut, pointing at his prize.
"No," Tuffnut begged, moaning. "Ya don't even use money! It's basically-,"
"I assure you I will," Toothless guaranteed, shoving his extended arm before himself and smirking, when Tuffnut threw him the coin, sulking. "You should be happy. I could've always let him win, right?"
"Next time," Hookfang vowed, staring upset at Toothless, who lifted his brow.
"Next time what?"
"I beat Toothless, next time," Hookfang ensured, fuming into Toothless's face.
"My ass," Toothless replied, waving his hand in front of his nose, blowing away the dragon's terrible breath. "Firstly, learn how 'you' works, then we may think about some proper rematch," he snorted, teasingly.
Subsequently, snarling, Hookfang gnashed his teeth around his leg, before throwing his body into the ground, back first, hard. After whining, Toothless raised his head painfully, scowling at the dragon furiously, before changing and turning upon him.
Glimpsing the situation two young men hissed, compassionately. "It's gonna hurt as hell," Tuffnut pointed out, squirming his eyes at the sight, before humming, suddenly. "I wonder, what the girls are up to, now?"
"Probably something girly," Snotlout stated, snorting. "Like how to make the perfect egg."
"Or who can sweep a broom the fastest," Tuffnut remarked, and both of them burst into laughter.
"...then I grabbed his hand, and yanked it, breaking his entire arm and a few wrist bones with one, single move," Heather ended and her forehead puckered, noticing her companions' once-overs given by them. "What?"
"Honestly, it was harsh, even for me," Astrid grunted, hitting another target, accurately.
"Yeah. He just said 'hello'," Ruffnut added, pressing her lips, together.
"Come on! I think it was well deserved; you can't trust men like him," Heather countered and rolled her eyes, noticing that the women didn't change their minds. "You don't understand. Only me and Hiccup do, at the moment."
"Me? I think the same as them," Hiccup objected, throwing the axe that hit the wood of the tree, finally. "Besides, why would I understand?"
"As for me, you should understand the theme the most," Heather contented, leaning on her axe's handle, smirking. "After all, you're the only one here with a boyfriend."
"So what? I don't have any complaints about him," Hiccup protested, shrugging. "Also, I know it will sound tacky, but he's not like the others."
"Everybody says so, and find out otherwise."
"Maybe, but in Hiccup's case, it's seriously the truth," Astrid interrupted, while Heather gazed at her, demanding the answers. "Toothless's been the dragon from birth, thus he doesn't understand things."
"Hiccup literally raised him, so he suits her best," Ruffnut finished, looking heavenward and sighing. "What a lucky, fuckin' girl!"
"No way!" Heather exclaimed, raising her chin and beaming at Hiccup. "Good job, chick!"
"Hold on, hold on everyone," Hiccup interrupted, taking in the sight of everyone. "I didn't raise him! Before meetin' him, he had been human for five years! He learned everythin' himself; the teachin' I gave him was just the simplest things possible, like how to wash clothes, for example."
"Okay, but there are things he couldn't learn by himself," Heather pointed out, and then, her eyes widened. "Wait, so, considering your words, that you taught him 'the simplest things', the question is, have you two ever been, you know, intimate?"
"Did you just ask me, straight out, if I fucked Hiccup?" Toothless asked, stunned. "Seriously?! Without any regrets?!"
His words were directed at Snotlout, who nodded, straightening in his seat. The six of them—the three men and three dragons—went to the clubhouse, after Toothless's attack on Hookfang, and now, the man was forced to treat his wounds, while the red dragon whimpered.
"Stop whining," Toothless scolded, narrowing his eyes at the mentioned creature. "You asked for it yourself."
"But, ya must've slashed him so much with these claws?" Snotloud inquired, drawing his bottom lip between his teeth. "How am I supposed to fly with him, now?"
"Maybe you let him throw you around, but I don't," Toothless claimed, before gripping his horn and growling, "Don't you ever repeat that," into the dragon's face, shaking mentioned body part.
"Hey, maybe we go back to the previous question?" Tuffnut reminded, leaning himself against the two-headed dragon. "Because I'm really interested in knowin' if you fucked or not."
"What is 'fucked'?" Barf asked, from under Tuffnut's arm, curious.
Inhaling, Toothless rubbed his eyelids. "We haven't had sex yet," he answered, and smirked, once he glimpsed Snotlout's relieved exhale. "Is our sexual life such an interesting topic for you, Snotlout?"
"Meh, he's just scared of becomin' an uncle," Tuffnut explained, before Snotlout could, while the corner of his mouth turned up.
"If that settles you down, Snotlout, then I may say we're not planning children with Hiccup. At least not yet," Toothless summed up, wiping the blood off Hookfang's body. "We have known each other for five months, now. Through the first one, we hated each other, through the second one we became friends, it wasn't until the third when we became a couple, and even so, we were constantly observed, by Stoic, by everyone. Basically, it's the first month we are actually together, and I'm not planning on taking things fast."
"It can't be the only reason!" Tuffnut shouted and Toothless glowered at him, crossing his arms, while Snotlout went to take care of his dragon. "Maybe there is more to it?"
"More to it?" Hiccup snickered, after almost the perfect shot. "There is no 'more to it'."
"There might be!" Heather implied, inching forward. "For example, maybe you don't find him attractive."
"Maybe Toothless doesn't find ya attractive," Ruffnut giggled excitedly, while the rest scowled at her, irritated.
"It can't be that," Astrid ensured, rolling her eyes at the twin. "I mean, he's around ya like an enamored puppy, which in my opinion, is," she gagged, revolted, "just disgustin'."
"Anyway, do you find him attractive, Hiccup?" Heather asked, pouting teasingly.
"Well, Toothless is the kind of man I would've never expected to end up with. Strong, wide, tall, like a mountain. I despised him for that, in the beginnin'," Hiccup chuckled, beaming at the memory. "Eventually, I learned that there is the other side of his largeness, the positive one. Bein' embraced by these big, gentle arms; it's like a dream. Like a guardin', warm blanket ya don't want to get out from."
"Cut the crap, Hiccup," Astrid broke in, groaning. "There must be somethin' ya don't like about him."
"Such as her thin arms!" Tuffnut suggested, cocking his head. "Ya can't be attracted by them!"
"Her sweet, little arms aren't an issue for me. Quite the opposite," Toothless disagreed, shrugging. "Well, you may not understand it as a human, but for me, a dragon, Night Fury nonetheless, being that slender as she is, is a virtue. Hiccup, with that feature, is the most stunning woman I've ever seen."
"Okay, but these are the adorable attributes. I doubt ya would want such a fragile woman in bed," Snotlout sniggered, shaking his head, flippantly.
"Not only I would, but also it would be the best fucking sex possible," Toothless mocked, and hence, Snotlout blanched, before standing up and running behind the clubhouse, where he vomited, while Toothless held his nose. "Seriously, Snotlout?"
"Don't ya think ye're overreactin' it, Astrid?" Hiccup questioned, ignoring the view of the mentioned woman, who emptied herself, just as Heather patted her back, sympathetically.
"Overreactin'?!" Astrid yelled, coughing up. "My gods, it was the most loathsome thin' you could've said!"
"Yeah, ye're definitely overreactin'," Hiccup concluded, hitting the nail on the head. "I'm sorry to say that to ya, but I love him, and that's how it is."
"What do ya even like about him?!" Astrid burst out, leaning her back against the tree, breathing soundly.
"What do ya not like about him," Ruffnut chuckled, creepily.
"That's actually a great question," Heather commented, while everyone gazed at her, shocked. "Hiccup, what do you not like about Toothless?"
"What don't I like?" Hiccup repeated and hummed after Heather nodded, visibly. "Well, he can be quite possessive at times. His apathy towards certain topics also drives me mad, not even mentionin' his hot-headedness, which appears randomly, but other than that there is nothin'."
"So, let's sum that up," Tuffnut began, clapping his lips between his hands. "Her stubbornness, excessive inquisitiveness, and unhealthy leniency are what ya don't like about her?" he reiterated and snickered. "Not only too smart words, from which I understood only one, but also too less of them!"
"Don't bullshit, Fury. There must be somethin' more," Snotlout added, wiping his lips with his sleeve and leaning on the entrance frame.
"I know it is rather difficult for you to comprehend that two people can love each other, without bothering about their deficiencies, but that's the case in mine and Hiccup's case," Toothless vouched, sticking his chest out.
"There is not even some small flaw in her? Maybe, she murmurs under her nose annoyingly, or talks to herself at night," Snotlout indicated, waggling his brows.
"The things you mentioned are daily imperfections that don't matter to us. For example, I snore at night, but Hiccup never makes a big deal out of it and just tells me to turn over, so I don't bother her. Another one: Hiccup has a strange habit of kicking her feet while she sleeps, but I'm not upset about it and usually just move aside."
"Has she ever kicked you in the balls?" Tuffnut asked, not hiding his satisfaction at asking the question.
"Just once, and she kept apologizing to me for the rest of the night about it. Again, it was not a problem, but an accident, a forgivable one. Furthermore, the thing that I could be irritated with is that she wakes up early and makes noise, making it impossible to sleep. Similarly, she could be irritated with the fact I can't fall asleep, explaining myself with a lack of drowsiness, sometimes. Even so, we overlook these bad habits, because they don't matter, in contrast to ourselves."
"Oh, it was so beautiful," Tuffnut croaked, wiping off invisible tears, before sneering, "and borin'! Gods, as for a dragon, ye're duller than Fishlegs, that washes his dragon now, probably with pleasure!"
"If you want me to nag about something, let's change the theme to Astrid existence; Hiccup's best friend!" Toothless started and realized suddenly, exclaiming. "That's what I hate the most about Hiccup! Her best fucking friend!"
"Astrid? The same Astrid who spends time with her now? The one, who probably repeatedly convince her what a terrible human bein' are ya?" Snotlout commenced, and after Toothless's eyes widened at the recognition, the two men laughed, observing how he changed and shot himself into the air, swiftly. "He's so pussy whipped."
"Yeah, and the funniest is that we're talkin' about yer cousin's pussy," Tuffnut acknowledged and laughed, glimpsing Snotlout's wave of vomit, on the floor.
"Astrid, I know Toothless isn't perfect, but he's far from bein' terrible, I assure ya," Hiccup sighed, stroking her brows. "Also, may we change the theme, for example on the competition I'm winnin', currently?"
"Ye've got to be kiddin' me," Astrid snickered, sticking her eye at grinning Hiccup. "I don't mean to offend ya, but yer first try was shitty as fuck."
"Maybe, but as a matter of fact, while ya three were so focused on analyzin' my love life, I was playin' by myself, makin' it 2-0-1-1 for me," Hiccup noted, pointing at each girl and pouting. "And now, my final point," she added, preparing herself for the throw.
Suddenly, the three of them observed the swift fly-by of black mass, which yanked Hiccup with itself, leaving just an axe that landed on the ground after her. Subsequently, looking up, they could've glimpsed Toothless's Night Fury figure, flying away with yelling Hiccup in his grasp.
"She knows that even if she threw, she wouldn't have won, right?" Astrid recalled, amused by the absurdity of the situation.
Eventually, they must have lowered their sight on falling Hiccup, dropped by Toothless, accidentally. The dragon ducked for her immediately after, but even though he caught her, the air surrounded Hiccup's yell, "Fucking damn it, Toothless!" which scared the birds, even dragons, around.
Consequently, the girls blinked surprised, by such a selection of words, before remarking, "He's fucked," together.
