Hate me, Love me, Hold me

Snotlout leaned back in his ridiculous heart-shaped beanbag chair-Hookfang perched dramatically on the windowsill behind him, sipping sunlight like he was born for it. The bearded dragon wore aviators. Snotlout had bought them for him on Amazon. He didn't regret it.
He cracked open another energy drink, eyes bloodshot and twitching from his fourth sleepless night.
Hookfang flicked his tail in solidarity.

"Dumbasses never stood a chance," Snotlout grinned.

Astrid Hofferson was awake too.

Stormfly, her jaguar, yawned from the foot of her bed, curled in a ball of majestic murder. Astrid's phone pinged and she groaned.

SNOTLOUT 🐉: Greece. 10 months. Flights booked. Pack sunscreen, a swimsuit, and your spicy attitude. No excuses. You need this..

She blinked. Her chest tightened.
ASTRID 🐆: Fine. But HE better not be there.
SNOTLOUT 🐉: ofc not. Would never do that to you. 😇

He was absolutely going to do that to her.

Hiccup Haddock was elbow-deep in Toothless' fur. The black panther rolled lazily onto his back, as Hiccup tried (and failed) to shave out a burr.
His phone buzzed.

SNOTLOUT 🐉: Bro. Trip. Greece. Vacation. You need it. I swear. Bring Toothless. Meet the gang. You'll thank me later.

HICCUP 🛠️🐆: Fine. Don't screw this up.

He was absolutely going to screw this up.
