The jewel of bleln (a httyd Snotlout love story)

Ch 10

It was a little while later while I sat on a cliff side watching some men on the boats when I heard footsteps behind me. "Not now hiccup." I said firmly. "Hey I'm nothing like your one footed brother!" A familiar voice snapped. "Snotlout!" I exclaimed whipping around to find him standing there. "Hey Eira. Hiccup told me I could find you out here." He said as I scrambled up and hugged him. He seemed to freeze at first but went along with it after a few moments. "Thank you." I said "Why I didn't do anything?" He said. Shadowfang and his nightmare both smacked him with their tails. "For saving me silly. Without your speed in bringing me here I most surely would have died. There were no healers on bleln at the time." I said pulling away and looking up at him shyly. His cheeks seemed red and he backed away from me a little. "It was no problem." He said rubbing the back of his neck. I just smiled and turned back to the clif watching the dragons and their humans with the boats. "Hey Eira? I wanna thank you as well. Wait let me finish! For standing up to astrid. When she flew back she was fighting mad as you set Stoic on her for me." He said. " it's no big deal Snotlout. She seemed to need to be taken down a peg or two herself. Much as you did when you first came to bleln." I said making him scoff. "Anyways what are you doing way out here and not in the village?" Snotlout asked. "I was getting overwhelmed with the amount of people and well wishers. And unlike uncle Ingfred, Stoic cannot make people stay away by his presence." I said. "I get that. But sometimes it's lonely you know. Driving everyone away." He said coming to stand beside you. Slowly Incase he pulled away you leaned against him. He stiffened but relaxed soon after. Unknowing to you He was smiling softly.

"Has anyone given you a proper tour yet Eira?" Snotlout asked finally pulling away. "No not yet. I've seen most of the village though." I said. "Then come along m'lady and I shall show you our island." Snotlout said leading us towards our dragons. Hookfang bent his head down and blew a puff of warm air at me. "Hello hooky. Beautiful day for a fly yes? You have to show Shadowfang the best places to fish ok." I said patting his nose making him hum happily. "You know I never understood why he likes you more than me." Snotlout said as he climbed up onto hookfang while I got up Shadowfang. "Because I'm a lady that's why." I snapped back laughing. We spent hours flying around berk avoiding my brother and astrid while Snotlout showed me everything about berk. "Can we settle somewhere? I'm getting tired." I asked as we flew. "Yea follow me!" He said banking hookfang around. We landed near the top of one of the stacks on the other side of the island from the village. Once I got off Shadowfang took off with hookfang to fish leaving Snotlout and I. "This was fun." I said laying back on the warm rocks. "Yea. I haven't had this much fun in ages." Snotlout said sitting beside me.
