Times like this, I wish I never existed This song and dance sure got old...
For the most part, he tended to be good at handling the verbal abuse that people tended to throw his way anytime he...Well...Anytime he breathed it felt like. He could smirk it off, scoff and retort with some sarcastic bite in return, it was easier to do that when the scathing comments came from other villagers, but when those words came from his father, the village chief, they tended to cut a lot deeper.
It wasn't like he tried to make these kinds of messes, it wasn't like he'd meant to sink that ship, it just felt like trouble followed him, he was a bad omen, his dad's burden to bear, people gave their condolences to Stoick all the time for what he had to put up with...It was't like he tried to be useless, he tried everything within his abilities to not be useless...He just was...
Sometimes it was just easier to disappear, to let people pretend like he didn't exist, usually he'd do that by disappearing into the woods, maybe the wolves'll get him, eh Stoick? He could hear them now, but that was why he couldn't just disappear into the woods, too many of the villagers were hunting, so now even his usually safe place wasn't safe, so instead he was making himself scarce as possible strolling the village, kicking a stone along the dirt path, his shoulders and body were drawn in and hunched, looking utterly dejected.

| FISH LEGS "Meat-Lug likes me-hugs." Fishlegs had his own fair share of ridicule, since he was more of a lover rather than a fighter, though he had strength and knowlegde to do as he pleased. His parents were convinced that he would have been a nice chief, though that was certainlty no a title he wished for, especially if that meant having Stoick as a father. Poor Hiccup... Being the chief's son, surely the scrawny freckled boy faced much more ridicule than him. He sighed, glancing up from where he was walking as he saw the mentioned Chief's son walking by. He opened his mouth to say something, reaching out his hand and pattering his feet in nervousness... He wanted to help. He wanted so badly to help... but the only way he knew how would to be to give up his secret area, and his secret project and risk it to a secret getting out, or ridicule further... For someone like him, maybe it was worth the shot?
"Hey!... Uh, Hiccup... I uh..." He cleared his throat, looking at the ground with his hands crossed behind his back, "You seem like the kind of guy who knows how to build things... I have something I'm working on I'd like to show you- I-if you have the time I mean!" |

Times like this, I wish I never existed He really wasn't used to people actively seeking out to talk to him, especially not anyone around his age, so when he heard Fishlegs call his name he didn't answer at first, until he kept talking, and then Hiccup turned with a little bit of apprehension. Of course, Fishlegs had never been unkind to him in the past, and he'd seen him getting his fair share of the short end of the stick too, but it was hard not to be wary. He gave a little bit of a half smile as he half carefully approached the other boy, chuckling softly, "building things, breaking things, I'm a viking of several talents..." He said this with a sort of well meaning sarcasm, not with the intent of being rude, but it tended to be how he protected himself most of the time.
"I have all the time in the world," He gestured with his hands, to the village around them, "that's the problem depending on who you ask...Agh...Sorry..." He ran a hand through his hair, then his face and tone softened and he put a hand on his shoulder, "Fishlegs, right? I'd like to see what you're working on." He chuckled, a bit less biting than before, "sorry...For being rude uh...Habit..." He shrugged, patting the other boy on the back and indicating that he lead the way, "people bite you all the time, sometimes you just learn to bite back..." He cleared his throat, being social was a new thing, and he wasn't entirely sure if he was doing it right.

| FISH LEGS "Meat-Lug likes me-hugs." Fishlegs looked a little taken back by the comment, lips parted as he paused, unsure of where to go next with his words until Hiccup clarified himself and Fishlegs simply nodded in agreement, his eyes slowly turning towards the ground as he felt the boy's hand on his back. It wasn't often he was shown this kind of support other than from his mother, who was more often away from home than not.
When Hiccup showed interest he bubbled up, tilting his helmet upright on his head and walking forwards slow, nearly waddling. "Okay, Okay, it's hard to explain what it is, but imagine a house... no, no." He huffed, sloutched slightly as he continued forwards faster, "Okay, I can't tell you... because it's a secret, so don't tell anyone else either, okay?" |

Times like this, I wish I never existed He felt bad, Fishlegs had tried to be nice after all, and the boy had never been actively mean to him either, his words had been true in that the response was more a reflex than intentional, but it had still been mean, and it looked like he knew what Hiccup felt on some level, "they're rough on you too, huh?" He spoke softly, then hooked an arm around his neck and grinned, giving him a gentle shake from there, "well, who needs 'em right? You're smarter than them, and a lot nicer, you do you and don't let them change that." He liked this kid, he seemed terribly nervous, but it wasn't like Hiccup faulted him for that, everyone was nervous these days, everyone nervous but no one sure exactly how to actually fix the problem.
He followed after the larger viking with a smile, looking over at him with interest when he spoke, "yeah? " He pressed, but nodded when he said it was a secret, patting his back with a reassuring smile, "of course I'll keep your secret, Fishlegs, you can trust me alright?" His words held a reassuring tone as he walked beside him.

| FISH LEGS "Meat-Lug likes me-hugs." Fishlegs beamed at Hiccup and walked a little faster, eager to hurry up and get to the club house project he was ... well he wasn't a designer but it was coming alomg okay. He could defimetly use the help, and no way in hell would any of the others help him, or respect that this wasn't just some place. It was special to him, or at least the wanted it to be special. "Thanks Hic. I'm glad I could trust you."
After around a ten minute walk they were at the small pond, and in the tree looming above said pond was a very large base of a treehouse, along with a rope ladder that lead up into it. "It can hold me, so you won't fall through." He jabbed at his own size, starting to climb. |

Times like this, I wish I never existed He felt himself softening up to him as they headed out of the village towards the woods, this was the place he'd been avoiding earlier, of course that was mainly because there was a hunting party sniffing about, but the way that the other boy was leading him seemed to be heading in the entirely opposite direction from where the men were skulking around, so he wasn't too worried, "well if I'm good at nothing else, I'm at least good at keeping secrets." He chuckled, glancing around through the treelines, "easy to do when no one wants to talk to you in the first place of course, but...Well you know...They wouldn't get it out of me if they tortured me." He turned his eyes back to the blonde with a smile to show he was being sincere.
He glanced around the location with an appreciative nod, then his eyes trailed to the structure in the tree and he grinned, "you've gotten this far by yourself? Impressive, good location too!" He chuckled, following him up the ladder and looking around once they were up there, glancing back at Fishlegs with a chuckle, "thank you for inviting me out here...It's...This is nice..." He cleared his throat after a moment before turning to face him fully, "so what can I do to help?"

| FISH LEGS "Meat-Lug likes me-hugs." Fishlegs wasn't too sure how he felt about Hiccup's personality. He seemed unstable, but he was quickly getting used to it. He sort of liked the sarcastic part. "Thanks. It really means a lot." Was his retort to that, and he helped Hiccup up the last bit of the ladder, looking around the base with one... unsturdy looking wall with a window that looked more like it had been punched through than made to be used as a window. The floor and ladder were the only things good and fine by themselves.
"I have... no idea how to get the walls right. I don't even know how I got the floor to look like this." He admitted softly, "I think we should start with measuring things out though... and then finding some decent scrap wood." |

Times like this, I wish I never existed Hiccup had to admire the tenacity of this boy, he was out here completely alone trying to build a structure in a tree, which was difficult enough on the ground, and he had a stable base for it. There was heart in what he had, and Hiccup was determined to keep that heart exactly where it was, even if it didn't take a genuis to see that the structure was lacking some integrity, one back windstorm would topple the wall that was built, but the floor was sturdy, and seemed like it would hold, "only being honest, building something like this alone...Well...Smaller storage buildings in the village have taken a team of grown men. And its got heart, which it the most important part of any art form...O-or that's how I look at it."
He ran a hand through his hair, crossing the distance to rest a gentle hand against the wall he had built, "you were going in the right direction, but you're right, there's a science to building sound walls, next time we come out here, I'll bring some things from home, okay? For now...Well what do you see in your head when you look at this place finished?" He grinned at him as he sat criss crossed on the ground, pulling out the bound leather book that was tucked into his vest and a charcoal pencil, looking up at him, "sometimes it's easier to figure out how things should be done when you can visualize the finished product...You have the full thing, and then you break it down into its parts and pieces..." He looked to the side and cleared his throat, realizing he was rambling, "s-sorry...I'm babbling...Uh...G-go ahead!"

"That's actually... a really smart idea." Fishlegs beamed and nodded, closing his eyes for a moment and looking around in his mind eye, "Okay. Like your basic hut, but with two windows on the opposing walls here and here." He opened his eyes and pointed, "and then a way to get on the roof, which will be flat... possibly a railing."

Hiccup smiled up at him, seeming to beam himself when his own idea wasn't just immediately shot down. He poked his tongue out in concentration as he started to sketch along with Fishleg's words, making a quick rendering of the tree they were in first, and the platform, then he went into sketching out what Fishleg's was describing, making sure the windows were where he pointed out. He couldn't help but glance up at Fishlegs every so often, listening to him get so excited was nice, especially since he was so excited over something Hiccup could be excited over too...Was this what having a friend felt like?
He stood when the boy finished explaining and he'd finished drawing, bringing it over to show him, "I think your idea is really sound, and really do-able!" He grinned, pointing to the roof, "with as high as the roof is going to be, we'll get a really great view from up there, and setting up a way to get up will be easy!" He looked to the side at him with a grin, "I think the easiest way to do this will be to build the walls, and then hoist them up here with a pulley system, There's a lot of large rocks down there, so we can fasten the rope to those while we secure the walls in place!" He tucked the pencil behind his ear and smiled, looking to the side a little, "i-if you want to do it that way...Gods I'm just...Droning on..." He ran a hand through his hair and chuckled softly, "Sorry about that..." WORDS: 000 TAGS: @fishlegsingerman NOTES: "Speech" |

Fishlegs nodded as he listened to Hiccup speak, hand on his chin as he kept that image in his head. "You're really good with this sort of stuff," Fish beamed and looked down to the smaller viking, smile fading when he apologized. Fishlegs shook his head and looked down at the pond. "You know. I don't think we're too different from one another. ... So you can be yourself around me, okay?" He offered with a half hearted smile, and then cleared his throat. "We'll have to redo this wall then." He gave the unsturdy wall a good shove and it went over, hitting the ground below. The boards were already all damaged so there really wasn't a point in having it stay there.

He shuffled a little when Fishlegs complimented him, wholly unused to hearing praise like that from others, "Yeah? Well, I've never seen anyone who knows as many technical details about dragons as you!" He chuckled, he'd heard him before, even if he'd never spoken to him directly about it. He closed the book and tucked it back into his vest pocket, his expression brightened considerably at the other boy's words, "thanks, seriously...It...Really really means a lot to be told that...Most people can't stand...Well..." He gestured wholly to himself, "all of this. Same goes to you, if no one else likes us, the least we could do is like each other, right?" He grinned.
He looked surprised when he just shoved the wall down to the ground below, laughing and quirking a brow as he peered over the edge at it, "yeah, one bad storm and that would have come down quick. That's alright though!" He looked back at him with a more fired up grin, "prototypes are necessary for success! Sometimes it helps to build a smaller version of something before you start on the real deal, y'know? Because then you can work out the kinks and there's less...Well..." He shrugged a little, "the fewer explosions caused in the forge the better." He gave him a wink and shrugged, heading for the ladder before making his way down, "for now, we can collect some good lumber, eh?" WORDS: 000 TAGS: 000 NOTES: "Speech" |

Fishlegs flushed slightly at the complement, also very unused to praise for his knowledge of facts. Normally people wanted strong fighters, and indeed Fishlegs was strong... but he didn't enjoy fighting, he enjoyed facts, figuring things out and how they worked, why they worked. He enjoyed doing things like this, especially with someone else. Maybe Hic could be a new real friend? "Yeah. Just us. People on,y need one god friend anyway, right Hic?" He said with a smile, nodding in agreement, "I can gather good sticks to make a prototype with too, and we can keep the model in here as a decoration when we've done done it all!"
