❝ please, you have to believe me. i didn’t kill anyone! ❞

RANDOM STARTERS.

❝ Uhhhh... ❞ Hiccup began, overall unsure how he should go about this. On one hand he’d feel REALLY BAD if this kid was innocent and he turned his back on him when he was, after all, rather young-looking. On the other, Hiccup was a Viking and HE’S SEEN YOUNGER DO WORSE.

❝ I don’t- I mean... Do I really have your word on this? Swear to the Gods? May Odin strike you down if you’re lying? ❞

[drekivinr]

❝ do you believe in soul mates? ❞ wow gay

RANDOM STARTERS.

❝ Soul mates? Gods… ❞ Hiccup let out a long breath, rubbing at his chin in thought. The concept of soul mates was not foreign to him by any means and he supposed he did believe in it given ONE PARTICULAR INSTANCE where he felt it might apply but he wasn’t quite sure where the spirit was going with this.

❝ In a way I guess I kind of consider MY BOND WITH TOOTHLESS something like soul mates but the friend and family kind. From the second we looked at each other there was just this-… this CONNECTION and we’ve always been so in sync and that’s what lets us fly even though I’m the one controlling his tail and he-… and he actually prefers that. I tried fixing his tail for him so he could fly on his own but HE WANTED WHAT WE HAVE and it’s… special. ❞ The Viking began, smile fond as he thought about his best friend and brother in bond.

❝ Haven’t really given much thought to the subject, but it seems like you might have. So… what’s on your mind? ❞

[drekivinr]

blows a snowflake @ and snickers

❝ Real easy to mess with me when you know I CAN’T CATCH YOU isn’t it? ❞ The Viking questioned, but as hard as he’d try to remain deadpan, he still had to smile as he eyed the wily spirit, nose twitching just the slightest from the cold of snowflake having landed there.

❝ I thought you were the Guardian of Fun, not the Guardian of Interrupting Hiccup’s Work on the Book of Dragons. ❞

[drekivinr]

grins broadly at the viking as hands were gripped ---- ice crystals adorning lashes in timeless immortal state. " come on! i'll teach you how to ice skate! it's so much fun, buttercup! "

❝ I don’t know about this... I mean I think I have a pretty clear DISADVANTAGE when it comes to something like this with the whole peg leg thing. ❞ Hiccup began, a rare show of hesitance in his tone as forest gaze wouldn’t quite meet glacial blues. He knew he’d be done if he looked Jack in the eyes, one look always having him relent any time he prepared an argument.

They were just so big and blue and clear as a cloudless sky and them paired with that snow white smile always sincere and yet with the slightest hint of MISCHIEF was always Hiccup’s downfall. There was just no defense against ethereally beautiful boys who oozed charm in every fiber of their being.

Hiccup was already well aware of this.

❝ I trust you, YOU KNOW I TRUST YOU, but I know what it feels like to slip and fall on ice and get hurt because I’ve done it enough with this stupid leg and ice skating would be like going and doing it on purpose. ❞

[drekivinr]

Tadashi peers over at Hiccup--- yearning. After a few seconds of this, it isn't too long until he's given up begging for attention and instead goes straight in for the kill. With a labored sound, scooting across the bench and wrapping arms around the back of his torso, he leans his chin into Hiccup's shoulder-blade and attempts to peer over his shoulder. "Working hard, 'Cup??"

❝ Well the only other option would be HARDLY WORKING and I’m not sure either of us is capable of that. ❞ Hiccup cast a quick glance over his shoulder, letting his right hand cover Tadashi’s where it was wrapped around him and continuing to type with his left but upon realizing that was too hard he opted to going back to typing with both hands.

❝ Just putting the finishing touches on this research paper to that’s due in... ❞ A pause, Hiccup checking his watch before releasing a long, tired sigh. ❝ An hour. It’s mostly finished but I've rewritten my opening paragraph and thesis statement about TEN TIMES already and none of them sound right. I’m an inventor, not a writer. ❞

[drekivinr]

Tadashi reaches forth a hand, a few fingers abruptly holding Hiccup's jaw. He smiles--- broadly ---and rubs the pad of his thumb across the flat of the man's chin. "You're like a peach."

❝ I don’t even know how to take that. ❞ It didn’t feel insulting coming from Tadashi and it’s not like he’d ever consciously CARED about his facial hair or near-lack-there-of but he did live in the shadow of his dad’s amazingly thick beard.

❝ For the record I was the FIRST ONE of all the guys in Berk to even have facial hair so I’ll just let you know that information... ❞ He wasn’t the only one anymore because the other boys finally caught up in high school and now even have more facial hair than himself but... he still wasn’t self-conscious about it. HE WASN’T.

❝ It’s just-... a work in progress. ❞

[drekivinr]

❝ what is that sound? ❞ ( helloo ! )

RANDOM STARTERS.

❝ Sounds like... a Gronckle? ❞ Hiccup responded with a shrug. Most boulder class dragons in the area were pretty docile so he wasn’t really that concerned over it. Though, he was currently with a stranger who didn’t know much of the area and in general DIDN’T LOOK LIKE A VIKING so maybe it wasn’t in his best interest to play it all out so coolly.

❝ It’s uhh- IT’S A DRAGON- and there are- I mean there are a lot of dangers in the archipelago and you probably shouldn’t be traveling around here alone because of it. Bandits and hunters and welll... some of the dragons... can be a real problem in these parts. ❞

[drekivinr]

❝ did you hear that? ❞

FIVE SENSES.

❝ I did, and it sounded close. ❞ Hiccup paused mid-stride, taking the shield off of his back and giving a cautious glance around for any immediate signs of danger. He’d been through this all so many times on so many islands, HE WASN’T TAKING ANY CHANCES HERE.

❝ Could’ve been anything but let’s just hope it isn’t hunters, they’d cause us the most problems right now of anything that could be lurking out in these trees. ❞

[drekivinr]

"Is it true you went looking for trolls and fairies when you were younger?"

❝ Who said I ever stopped? I may be a lot busier with training dragons but I know I’m still losing socks. I- I mean… I DON’T NEED THE LEFT ONES but it’s still a problem and Trolls are still terrorizing the people. Gobber may say some crazy things sometimes but if he was right about the Boneknapper who’s to say he isn’t right about these guys too? ❞

[drekivinr]

There may or may not be a certain frost spirit slipping up behind Hiccup to casually wrap his arms around his waist, chin resting atop Hiccup's shoulder.

For a while it really seemed like any time arms wrapped around him it meant trouble and would have him tensed and ready to try and fight his way out of them that very second, but the familiar CHILL of the arms which now wound around his middle had him easily relaxing in their hold as he’d turned his head to press a gentle kiss to the spirit’s temple.

❝ Remember back when I was actually SHORTER THAN YOU and this was a lot easier? What are you now? Standing on your toes? ❞ Hiccup questioned with a teasing quirk of his brow.

[drekivinr]

Lance paused, watching the lanky boy in front of him curiously, "So your name is /Hiccup/?" He asked, no real sign of amusement, just utter confusion, "Your parents named you that? Seriously?"

❝ Odin grant me strength... ❞ Hiccup muttered under his breath, head immediately falling into his hand where he pinched at the bridge of his nose. This was by no means the first time he’s had people question or insult his name AND IT WOULDN’T BE THE LAST but that didn’t make it any less annoying.

He didn’t even register he wasn’t being made fun of at the moment given that it happened so often when he was revealed to be what he was- A HICCUP.

❝ Yes, that’s my name. Terrible, I know- I DEFINITELY KNOW- but it’s my name and I’ve lived with it for years. Just get it all out now. ❞

[drekivinr]

Look out. Jack's coming in /hot/, diving down to wrap his arms around Hiccup from behind, literally lifting him from the ground a few feet before setting him back down again but not letting go.

Though he’d deny it to his grave, Hiccup’s initial reaction to arms suddenly wound around him from behind and being picked up was a rather high-pitched yelp which might’ve also been a bit of a scream along with FLAILING LIMBS and a near panic attack. It wasn’t like he hasn’t been kidnapped before, he could never be too sure anymore with his growing number of enemies in the archipelago, but about a moment later the familiar chill seeped through his clothes coming from a set of SPINDLY arms that definitely wouldn’t be a kidnapper.

Plus, they sort of flew a few feet in the air. Hiccup hadn’t yet met a Viking that could do that and hopes he never does in the future.

❝ GREAT ODIN’S GHOST, Jack. ❞ He breathed, finding his bearings once his feet were once again planted firmly on the ground, one hand placed over Jack’s while the other pinched at the bridge of his nose.

❝ You gave me an actual heart attack. I literally train fire breathing murder beasts on a daily basis but it’s MY BOYFRIEND that nearly scares me to death. ❞

[drekivinr]

“What are you talking about?” // from haru!

RANDOM SENTENCES | ACCEPTING

❝ I’m talking about YOU and finding you A DRAGON of your own. I mean it’s still up to you and I wasn’t going to go behind your back about it or anything because it’s kind of A HUGE STEP and all of that- I mean once you have a dragon that’s like you’re officially here and I don’t know if you- if you want that? To be here... WITH ME? ❞ Hiccup tried, immediately backtracking as his smile twisted into something forced and uncomfortable, brows knit as he’d run a hand through his hair trying to ease his own worries.

Maybe this wasn’t a good idea.

Maybe he was being too forward.

❝ I just- I know that you still don’t remember things and maybe you had a life somewhere out there you want to find again but I’d-... I’d REALLY like to help you train a dragon. ❞

[drekivinr]

“Father’s do what’s best for their children.” [[AAAAAYYYYY. So Ackar and I are back to roleplaying once more. So I hope this is alright?]]

BOOK OF LIFE | ACCEPTING

❝ As much as I know my dad is always just trying to do what’s best I don’t think that means I ever have to LIKE what he tries to do, especially when I think he’s wrong. He can be overbearing, he always has been because of whatever happened to my mom, but I’M NOT HER and I can make my own decisions. ❞ Hiccup argued, but he really was more tired than angry at this point. Ackar wasn’t the one he was frustrated with anyhow. There was no need to take it out on him.

❝ Sometimes I just get reminded that my life isn’t really MY OWN and it’s not fun. Ever since I was born I’ve had expectations lingering over me and a path people expected me to take even if they didn’t used to like me at all. I’ve never really been allowed to just DO THINGS… at least not just for myself ❞

[drekivinr]

“Those are some big shadows we live under, huh?”

BOOK OF LIFE | ACCEPTING

❝ No kidding. ❞ He’d add that it could be both metaphorical AND LITERAL but Hiccup wasn’t really feeling the joke today, also he’d gotten in trouble enough cracking comments at his dad’s size even if the man was literally just an impenetrable wall of muscle.

❝ Kind of makes you wonder if it’s ever really possible to live up to the expectations. I definitely FAILED even the basic standards of what people want to see from me by being- well... ME. Hard to imagine I can ever really please people after that. ❞

[drekivinr]

"I think I broke my everything..."

CLUMSY STARTERS | ACCEPTING

❝ Yeah that-... that didn’t look like such a great fall there, bud. ❞ Hiccup agreed with a nod of his head, wincing visibly as he watched the other pull himself together, only offering a hand once it’d dawned on him that HE SHOULD PROBABLY HELP instead of just standing there like a jerk and staring.

❝ Are you okay? ❞
