Oh no, he was moving, waking up! Rapunzel tensed herself...

The voice that came out of the figure she’d tied to the chair sounded young, but he was so tall! And probably a man.

“I’m not afraid of you!” she warned. She kept herself in the shadows, because she was very much afraid of the stranger.

For every  ♣  I receive, I’ll share one random fact about MYSELF, the mun!

I bite my nails. I wish I didn’t. I keep stopping, then starting again. Bleh.

Mini Fic: 12. things you said when you thought i was asleep

The fire was a welcome contrast to the night: warm versus cold, light versus darkness.  Hiccup watched the flames as they sparked, leapt, burned, sank low.  The logs were hardly more than ashes, the flames reduced to embers.  Toothless was warmer at his back, now, than the fire in front.

He hadn’t been able to sleep.  His body itched like nanodragons were running all over him, like someone had injected coffee into his veins.  (Coffee was something he looked forward to bringing to Berk, whenever he got back.  Back to his Berk.)

The other Hiccup, though, had dozed off hours ago.  Even the watchful dragons were breathing deeply, eyes closed.

Hiccup watched his doppleganger, idly twirling a stick he’d been using to poke the fire in his hands.  He had thought, more than once, if that was really what he had looked like.  It was only a couple years ago, but it seemed so much longer.

A leftover log popped once, cracking where the fire had eaten through it, and collapsing with a puff of ash.  Hiccup kicked gently at the fire with half a mind to properly put it out.  There wasn’t much left, anyway.  He should sleep while dawn was still such a long ways off.

Instead, he propped his head on his hand, propped on his knee, and stared at the other him again.

“What makes us different?” he found himself asking aloud.  His whisper felt like a disturbance in the silence, but a necessary one.  Neither the other Hiccup nor the dragons reacted, so he continued.

“You’re me from the past, but also not because I never met myself.  I don’t remember being captured by the Outcasts like that, either.”  Hiccup ran a hand through his hair, tugging roughly at it.  Did his arrival here change something?  Was this a different version of his past from the start.  How many different versions of reality were there?  How many subtle changes could lead to such disparate timelines.

“You better be grateful for what you have while you have it.  For Toothless and Astrid and Dad.”  Hiccup huffed.  “Even Snotlout.  And the twins and Fishlegs and Gobber.  For the forge.  God, I miss the forge.  Don’t throw it away just because you like flying solo.”

Hiccup was quiet then for a moment, twirling the stick in his hands and watching the embers die to nothing.  Soon, the stars were their only light.

“You’re lucky you’re not me, somehow or other.  Not entirely.”  He thought about how being away from home was only really appealing when you could still go back.  He pressed back against Toothless -- his Toothless.  At least he had his Night Fury, through everything else.

Closing his eyes tightly, Hiccup pressed his head back against the dragon, bottling the emotions back inside himself.

"I like the view"

just-a-talking-fishbone

Astrid let out a rather un-viking squeak, her hands grabbing the towel and pressing it to her body to hide herself from his view. It wasn’t that she disliked the idea of him seeing her naked, just that she’d always imagined it would be under different circumstances. And of course, he now stood between her and her clothes.

Straightening her shoulders she marched over to the lad. “Then perhaps you’d like to make your bath a quick one and join me in bed.” Emboldened by his blush and the knowledge he quite enjoyed her in his bed Astrid kissed his cheek and marched past him and out to the living area of the house, dropping her towel as she passed.

Astrid kept sneaking glances out of the corner of her eye. She’d seen Hiccup many times before but in his family furs? He looked more the chief than she’d ever seen him. Walking over to him she caught his fidgeting hands. “You look fine.” The blonde tentatively leaned in to kiss his cheek. “Besides, we both know they’ll be looking at me more than you.” It was a gentle tease but not entirely baseless, her pirates clothes accentuated assets her old viking clothes didn’t. As much as Astrid loved seeing him in formal attire, she could wait for the night to be over so she could take every last piece off him.
