The Hunter

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

Yeah…goodbye. [he hesitates for a split second before kissing back]

[clayton--johnson]

*pulls away from the kiss eventually* Bye Hiccup.

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

It might…but no promises. [he nods] I guess it is.

[clayton--johnson]

I'll take that I guess. *sighs* Well...goodbye *wants to just end it there but pulls him closer and kisses him*

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

[he nodded slowly] It might not be forever…but I gotta sort out my head, y’know. Its not good up there. That…that’s good to know though.

[clayton--johnson]

Might not be forever? Well don't give me hope if it will never happen. Then I guess this is goodbye for now then Hiccup....

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

[he ran his fingers nervously through his hair and let out a shaky laugh] You had a strange way of showing it.

[clayton--johnson]

I know I do. Yeah.... *looks down at the ground for a moment then back to him* But I don't want you leaving here forever thinking there is some guy back at the circus who was only using you

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

[he bit his lip] I…that’s good to know. I…I’ll miss you too..

[clayton--johnson]

I know you think I hate you. *pulls away from the hug to look at him* I really do care about you and I'm sorry I don't have time to prove that to you.

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

[he frowned deeply as Clayton hugged him, but hesitantly wrapped his arms around him] Yes..

[clayton--johnson]

*hugs him tightly* I'm...really going to miss you Hiccup. More than you probably think.

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

Yes, gone leaving. I’m going on a permanent vacation.

[clayton--johnson]

*walks over towards him, unsure if he wants to hit him or hug him* Leaving... *wraps his arms around him, hugging the younger boy tightly*

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

[hiccupjones]

[he crosses his arms] I’m leaving. I’ve resigned.

[clayton--johnson]

Like, you are leaving gone leaving. Not just a vacation *stands up*

[hiccupjones]

Hey...

Can I talk to you? I need to tell you something.

[clayton--johnson]

Alright... *turns away from his desk* Talk, go.

[thedancing-esme]

This place is shit.

"The food is shit. The people are shit. It even smells like shit. I should not have come back…" Esme sighed before smiling, "I think that once I get what I want, I’ll be out of here for good." 

[clayton--johnson]

And she is back *smiles* What's the matter? Couldn't stay away from me?

[hiccupjones]

[he looked up again, meeting his eyes once more] Okay…I…no more explaining.

[clayton--johnson]

*smiles* Good, good. No more explaining. Are you feeling better now?

[hiccupjones]

Yeah…yeah…that’s what happened. The guy tried to stop me and I panicked and told Draco to…y’know. I panicked. [he nods slowly] I guess so..

[clayton--johnson]

*moves his hands so they are cupping the sides of his face* You don't have to explain yourself to me Hiccup. I don't really care what you did. You did what you had to do.

[hiccupjones]

[he shrugs, mumbling quietly] You could’ve assumed it was Mer…I=I mean it wasn’t, but..n-no, you don’t.

[clayton--johnson]

I know she had a hand in it yes. But you were the one with the more passion for getting your dragon back. Mean you would be more likely to take more extreme steps. *shrugs* There really is no need to be nervous around me. If I was going to do something to you don't you think I would have done it already?

[hiccupjones]

[he inhaled audibly and looked down fully at his feet, playing with his hair in an attempt to cover his face a little subtly with his arm] I…

[clayton--johnson]

*uses his hand to tilt Hiccup's face up to look at him* You really didn't think I didn't know that was you? But I've forgiven. I forget. Do I treat you any different? *smiles*

[hiccupjones]

[he just shakes his head a little, a slight look of disappointment on his expression as Clayton stops touching him] Just…cause I know what you’re capable of

[clayton--johnson]

*smirks seeing the look on Hiccup's face* And I know you're capable of arson and murder but I don't treat you any different now do I?

[hiccupjones]

[he nods slightly] I…guess so. You make me nervous.

[clayton--johnson]

I still make you nervous? I haven't done anything to you in a very very long time *moves his hands away from him* Why do I still make you nervous?

[hiccupjones]

I’m always nervous… [he chuckled quietly, looking down again]

[clayton--johnson]

You're looking away again *moves ever so slightly closer* I would say this is more than the normal amount of nerves you have. That true?
