"Hiccup" - "Toothless"

A PERFECTLY CONSTRUCTED ALIBI

Out of all the people that he felt he needed to tell, Fishlegs felt the most important. Fishlegs had been his friend before anyone else, before anything with the dragons, before toothless, he'd been the first one to make an effort to talk to him, and he considered Fishlegs like a brother because of it. They were a lot a like, and he felt like he was the first person he needed to tell, because he would be the one he could count on over anyone else if any of this did go down.

It felt like a lifetime ago that they'd built this treehouse, neither had meant for it to get so beaten up, but with his own duties and Fishleg's, they'd just stopped coming out here. It felt right though, meeting him out here, and he figured if he fixed it up, then maybe the place could be of use to other kids.

Hiccup had packed up as many tools and building things as he could to bring out here, and he'd asked Fishlegs earlier that day to meet him here after lunch. He hadn't told him that he planned on fixing the place up, he figured he could to that when he arrived. For now, he set his things down and glanced back at the Night Fury following behind him, "this is it! Sure does need some love though, we used to hide here all the time!" He chuckled, pulling out his book and opening it to the original sketch he'd done of the place, "feels like ages ago..." It really wasn't...But it put a point on how old and tired he felt these days.

He sighed, tucking the book back in his satchel, which he slipped off as he sat with his back to the old tree, waiting for his friend to show up.

FISH LEGS "Meat-Lug likes me-hugs." Fishlegs had gotten word of what Hiccup wanted him to do... well, where he wanted him to go rather, He didn't exactly know what they were going to do. there wasn't exactly anything out there that would call for his services, right? Was this just some friend time? Were any of the others invited? He secretly hoped not, he enjoyed his moments with Hiccup and himself, nerdy friends. They had been the first two to actually be friends anyway.  He landed meat lug next to Hiccup after spotting the man form the air he landed and looked up at where they were. He had almost forgotten this place existed completely, and offered Hic a smile, "Well look at this old beauty." He said with a laugh and hopped off of meat-lug.

He couldn't help but smile as he got to his feet to greet the other, chuckling and coming to give Meatlug an affectionate rub over her snout before turning to Fishlegs, "all the ingenuity and building prowess of two goof off blacksheep, right?" He said the words affectionately, glancing up at the structure which was in clear disrepair, "she needs a little tlc, but that shouldn't be too hard, eh Fish?" He grinned, then nodded towards Toothless and Meatlug in turn, "especially not with their help!" It would certainly make it easier than what they'd had to do back then, he remembered the complicated pullies...And the accidents that came with them, "at least maybe I wont drop an entire wall on you this time." He smirked at Fishlegs, then sighed and leaned against the tree, looking at his friend thoughtfully.

"This felt like the right place to come to talk, I mean we used to anyway..." He nodded over the the tools and supplies he'd brought, "I always talk better when I'm working, so I thought maybe, if you want...Well I mean..." His eyes took on a much more mischievous glint, "you and Heather's kids'll need somewhere to play riiiiight, Fishy?" He grinned, patting his back, "how's that been going anyway? I know you two spoke again..." Stalling, stalling, stalling, even though his curiosity was genuine, he was still actively stalling from the things he needed to say, was it really that hard to talk about? Yes, yes it was.

After a moment he stepped back, looking up, "we'll have to see just what all repairs she needs...Wonder if the ladder'll still hold us..." There was really only one way to find out, He stuck his tongue out as he went to climb up, getting about half way before he heard an awful crack, and found himself on the ground in the next moment, "well...First thing on the agenda...New ladder..." He chuckled, glancing up at his friend from his spot on the ground.
