@JakeSucky Not even close to the best game of all time. Someone hasn't played Elden Ring, obviously.

@FoxNews A president shouldn't be selling out to other countries either. A president should be America first. Trump isn't America first.

@klovex12 @BigTenNetwork @IndianaFootball You try taking a full on tackle from a linebacker and get back to me on if it hurts or not. Fucking idiot.

stoic grace passed down from his father.

"Tuffnut, this is the kind of thing you need to talk about with someone. Acting so brazenly... You have to consider how your actions affect others. I... I'm sorry, but I love Astrid. I can't give you what you seek." Hiccup says firmly, his eyes filled with kindness, but with a(+)

[🛡️ᛏᚢᚠᚠᚾᚢᛏ @ZipplebackRider]

That's when the tears finally fell.
At first he didn't have the words.
Then he just stared at him, sadness in his eyes.
It was obvious he knew. And he was sorry. He didn't want this.

"I'm sorry...
I just...
It's eating me up inside--"

[𝑯𝒊𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒑 𝑯𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒌 @pride_of_berk]

For a second, Hiccup froze. And then, once he regained control of himself, he pushed Tuffnut off of him, standing up and backing up a few steps. "Tuffnut... You know I love Astrid... Why... Why?"

[🛡️ᛏᚢᚠᚠᚾᚢᛏ @ZipplebackRider]

Tears filled his eyes as he reached for Hiccup's hand, knowing he was seconds from rejection.
He didn't know if he could take it.

"Just once... just once I wanna know what it's like."

Before he had time to think, he leaned closer, placing a soft kiss on the other's lips.

[𝑯𝒊𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒑 𝑯𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒌 @pride_of_berk]

"Uh... Tuffnut...? What are you saying?"

Hiccup grew a bit uneasy at the way Tuffnut spoke. It was unnerving. Unsettling. And very unlike Tuffnut. "Can you... Explain? I'm not sure I understand what's happening."

[🛡️ᛏᚢᚠᚠᚾᚢᛏ @ZipplebackRider]

"I don't think you can, Hiccup.
I don't think you should."

He sighed deeply, eyeing Hiccup with a kind of look that said he knew Hiccup should run, get out of this situation as soon as possible.
He'd give anything to not have to do this.

Tuff moved a little closer.

[𝑯𝒊𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒑 𝑯𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒌 @pride_of_berk]

"Talk to me? Sure thing, Tuff. What's on your mind?"

Hiccup offered his friend a warm smile. He could tell something deep was bothering Tuffnut, given how upbeat, annoyingly so, he always was. It was rare that Tuffnut wasn't up to his antics.

"Whatever it is, I'll help!"

[🛡️ᛏᚢᚠᚠᚾᚢᛏ @ZipplebackRider]

He shook his head, eyes filled with fear.

"No-
No, she...
She's at home.
I wanted to... to talk to you."

His leg started to bounce to cope with the immense anxiety in his heart.

"This is bad... I shouldn't be here..."
He mumbled to himself.

[𝑯𝒊𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒑 𝑯𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒌 @pride_of_berk]

"Tuffnut! Hey! Didn't think anyone was around."

Hiccup looked up, surprised to see his friend looking so serious. He glanced around, his eyebrow cocking slightly. "Ruffnut not around?"

[🛡️ᛏᚢᚠᚠᚾᚢᛏ @ZipplebackRider]

How was he even gonna start this conversation?

He shifted awkwardly.

"Um... Hiccup?"
His voice was quiet and timid, out of character for his usual playful energetic self.

It's not so much about being smarter, Ruff. It's about taking the time to study and really getting to know the world around us. It's something we're all capable of.

[ROGUE 💚 @S0UTHERNSP1CE]

@pride_of_berk Ooooh…

You see this is why you’re chief. You’re smarter than the rest of us.

I thought they just grew into their eyes when they got bigger or something.

@THEC00LERTWIN Being one of the more apex predatory dragons, Nightmares have to rely on their sight and smell more so than other dragons. And that starts from a young age. Having larger eyes means better vision. Similar to why cats have proportionally large eyes.

[ROGUE 💚 @S0UTHERNSP1CE]

Know what? I’m asking the dragon expert.

@pride_of_berk why are they like that
