Worlds Apart [closed] [Set before moleplot and aliensplot]
After training with Zuko (and a shower), Hiccup had just wanted to relax. That meant a trip to Hydroponics, for fake sunshine on his face. At least until he got under the shade of a tree with bright pink leaves, anyway.
It also meant hanging out with his buddy.
There was outright giggling as Toothless nudged his side, rolling him over so that he could squeeze in under the shade, curled around his boy, and then Hiccup lay there against his dragon's side, one foot gleaming in the light, the toes of his other foot wiggling in the grass.
One hand idly reached up and over and scratched the dragon's neck so that his whole body rumbled as he purred.
The teenage Viking looked half-close to drifting off for a nap, but that wouldn't stop him from saying hello to anyone that passed by.

He went on, "It's a Viking thing."

"I guess nobody wants hiccups..."
no subject
Whoa, subject change.
"Uh, if it was her."
There was a quick segue into something else.
"Okay, so you're tough and fireproof, that explains why you can take cracks at my buddy here, not why you'd want to. Are you that genial and good-natured with everybody when you first meet them?"
He still didn't seem mad. Maybe it just took a lot to make him genuinely angry.

Toothless snorted and headbutted the teenager on the side of the head.
"Ow!" A frown, as he rubbed his head. "You do realize you're only proving my point, right?" he said to the dragon, who snorted again indignantly and laid back down again.
"You don't see that as, I don't know, unfair or anything?"
no subject
"You know, when you put it like that... No." Yes, he's kind of a jerk.

"I don't care much about niceness, platitudes, social standards and what not. It's all bullshit anyway. I play by my own rules, and if I piss off a few people in the process? That's their problem."
no subject
He was still smirking.
"You know, I think I saw a turtle over there, going about his day. I think he could use having platitudes ignored around him. After all, if he gets offended, it's his fault--plus, you don't have to worry about getting chased."
Now this has devolved into Hiccup thinking you're a little stupid, Julian.
And he was having fun.
no subject
"Hell, your parents already named you Spit-up (or something); and you're like a beansprout with a giant head. You've probably heard every insult in the book at least twice. You had to have seen this coming."
no subject
He held out his hands.
"Best friend realized I stuck up for him, so task accomplished, so, you know." Shrug. "We're done, unless you wanna try to toss some more at me. Like you said, I've heard every insult in the book twice, and I really don't think you're creative enough to top them. We wouldn't even be having this conversation if you hadn't insulted my buddy here instead of me, because if it was me you were insulting, I'd have just ignored you."
no subject
"I'd offer you a beer, but you're what? Twelve?" He shrugged, as if to say 'too bad'.
"But I'll leave you here to sleep with your lizard, since I get the feeling that it will be the only thing that'll be willing to sleep with you for a very long time."
no subject
He hadn't had this good a time in a while. For once, someone that actually understood his sarcasm!
"Let me tell you, you really are waving your axe at the empty air, bud. I'd even make a joke about that axe being very, very tiny, but unlike you, I don't make stupid off-base stabs in the dark, I just insult what I see. And what I see--let's see what I see...I see a vapid prettyboy that probably no one actually likes even if they pretend they do. Warm? Cool?"
no subject
"Is that really your best shot? 'Vapid prettyboy that no one actually likes?'" Julian had been called much worse by much worse. And it was not as if he was unaware that he was a jerk. Really, Hiccup may as well followed that up with 'And your hair is black too!'
"For someone who had to be insulted every which way under the sun, you sure as hell didn't learn how to dish it out. To quote the Mighty Thor, 'Thou sucketh mightily!'"
no subject
"Anyway, look who's talking, with not being able to dish it out." In a 'dude' kind of voice that was like a distorted version of Hellion's, he said, "'Oh oh, he's a twerpy-looking guy, therefore he must not have a girlfriend, oh. I won't even stop to consider that he might be sharing the same bed with his girlfriend every night and therefore this insult is pretty much the dumbest ever. P.S. You look 12.'"
He added, "'And also, water is wet.' I've yet to be insulted here, too."
Another pause.
"Do you even have a girlfriend? That'd be some very ironic attempted mocking if you were a girlfriend-less loser."
no subject
Julian didn't. He also didn't care enough to stay, and just laughed at Hiccup.
"Yeah, like someone would actually date you. That's funny, kid," he mused to himself, walking away.
no subject
A pause, and then he just laughed right back, leaning back against his confused dragon, gently patting his neck to calm him down.
Half to himself, but still loud enough for Julian to hear as he walked away, he said, "Funny, but I was just about to say the same thing."
