Summary: Edward’s huge, shit-eating grin told him all he needed to know.



Kenshin winced a little as small fists pulled at his hair. He didn’t know what had possessed him to agree to watching the toddler - but Rian was a vampire, and Alby apparently was not one. While he didn’t burst into spectacular flames in the daylight hours, he did need to sleep SOMETIME. And thus, Kenshin had a five-year-old Albion sitting on his shoulders, watching the roof of the large house with rapt attention. 

“I don’t know that this is such a good idea,” Kenshin sighed, and Edward snorted. It was Edward who had put the toddler on Kenshin’s shoulders to begin with - (“Finally admitting I’m the taller one?” “Shut the hell up, Himura.”) - and he stood next to Kenshin, a hand shadowing his eyes. He seemed a lot more comfortable with the toddler than Kenshin would have expected. 

“It wasn’t mine or yours, so we’re absolved from the fallout,” Edward said. “Besides, I want to see if the dragon’ll eat Sariel this time." 

"Did you tell him that Hiccup’s rigged his tail so that he can fly without him?” Kenshin asked, glancing to Edward. 

Edward’s huge, shit-eating grin told him all he needed to know. “Ed!" 

"Relax, it’s not like Toothless can kill'em,” Edward said with a shrug. There was a sudden flurry of feathers, and Alby’s hands in Kenshin’s hair tightened as he shrieked in amusement. Kenshin didn’t dare crane his neck upward like he wanted, lest he dislodge the child. “Whoops, there he goes." 

Toothless didn’t let out an earthshattering roar, but there was the beat of enormous, black leathery wings and a huge shadow passed over them both. In the distance, high above their heads they both heard Sariel exlaim "holy SHIT!” and Alby shrieked again in amusement, grabbing feathers out of the air.
