Summary
No one on Berk has ever viewed Tuffnut Thorston as smart. Lack of spatial awareness? Definitely. Remarkable ability to set anything on fire? Obviously. The reincarnation of the trickiest Norse god of legend? That was more like it. But no one on Berk viewed Hiccup as anything but those things until he managed to train and ride a Night Fury, so Tuffnut has some hope. Valki Hofferson—cousin and adopted sister of Astrid—gave him hope.
His best friend certainly rolled her eyes and threatened to stab him just as much as other Berkians, but she was also the one to straighten him out and occasionally bail him out of trouble. Their friendship worked almost as perfectly as dragon and rider—mutual protectiveness, loyalty, and brief affection.
Until several years spent together defending Berk from the backs of their dragons. Until the budding love lives of all their friends makes Valki realize that her gruff exterior has kept Tuffnut away from where she wants him most—her heart.
Until the friendship turns into more…and it terrifies them both.
