Gift of the Magi (Except with way less situational irony) [closed]

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

Hiccup had something bundled and strapped to his back as he made his way through the hallways. He was sneaking, because that something was a present, and he didn't want its intended recipient to know it even existed before it was finished. Fortunately, she didn't tend to hang around Special Weapons that much, if at all.

"Hello?" he ventured quietly as he made his way into the room. "Thanks ahead of time, by the way. The deadlier I can make this thing the better."

"Really." My, he was being quite the pleasant distraction. But now that the kiss had perhaps fogged Councilor Haddock's mind...

Moving down past his chin, her fingers grazed his adams apple, maybe lingering for a bit, before dropping to settle her hand on her hip. "Then for your birthday how about I just wait and try it out on that potential stalker of yours. That's a nice birthday gift, I think. Yeah."

'Course she had no intentions on doing anything rashly at present. It was just an amusing thought.

"Wait, what?"

A pause.

"You mean Azula?"

He looked like he was seriously considering that for a moment.

"...No. No. You can't do that. Much as I really wish you could."

He leaned in and pressed a kiss against her cheek.

"I appreciate the homicidal urges on my behalf, though. I really do."

They were charming, as usual.

Content with his sweet gesture, Astrid had to step away, lest she be further distracted, and think for minute. "Well, honestly, it's probably best I start with something easier than a live target. The basics."

So how about she damage some more simulated trees for now. And more rolls and flips to get the adrenaline pumping and sweat rolling.

"You can stay and watch if you want, however," Flashing another smile over her shoulder, she gave a little shrug. "it might be kind of boring."

"No no. It's, ah, it's not boring at all. Go ahead. I...want to see some action--see the axe! In action! Right. See how it works. Since I made it and--yeah."

He sat down on a stump to enjoy the demonstration.
