Rolling the Dice
((Did you read my headcannons? Is that why you mentioned stars?)) “Yeah,” Val admitted, coming to sit down next to him. She sat down, their fingers touching, but she didn’t seem to mind, or notice at that. “Yeah, I do like it out here. I like to sneak out at night and walk through the forest. Just listen to the frogs, and crickets, and the occasional dragon.” She looked up at the sky all lit up with stars. “They actually sound really nice at night. Really calm and peaceful…”
(Honestly, no. XD) Stoick nodded, “I’ve always dreamed of…” He stopped himself and laughed, “No, never mind. It’s stupid.” His green eyes glowed slightly in the darkness, “But it is very beautiful, isn’t it Val?” He let his hand move over hers and he squeezed it lightly, “Just like someone I met recently.”
She pulled her hand away a little, but left it where it was for the most part. “No… you don’t really mean that,” she replied shyly. She was not used to compliments at all. “What have you always dreamed about?” she asked him, looking over at the boy. It wasn’t too dark as to not be able to see him, but she did have to squint slightly.
"Of course I mean it. Why wouldn't I?" He left his eyes on her for a long time. Stoick really did think that this girl was very pretty. But, he would not let himself fall for her. She was just a ride, an escape, for now, "Well," He sighed, looking back to the stars, "I always thought about going up and just touching them, you know?" A few firefly dragons circled over he ad, flashing and sparks yellows and oranges. Stoick reached up and grabbed on, grinning, "Sort of like this!"
