I forgot to send this ask last night and now it's in my head again so I will remember to send this time.
So, think of this. Dragons Edge OT6. They're happy in their relationship but the majority of the 'cule realize that Snotlout doesn't show a lot of affection.
At least in the ways they understand
But then the five come to the realization that they each had clothes they had put off mending were meticulously stitched to be sturdy and comfortable and nearly invisible except for a little heart on the inside part of the seams where only they would know it was there.
Idk I just like the idea of Snotlout *caring* but not knowing how to show it because of Spitelout's influence so he ends up hiding it in little things like making sure their favorite clothes stay in good condition, and if there's a little design on the inside of the stitch, well, he has 'no idea' where that came from
Also, when they're a little older, they make a little symbol or pattern for their 'cule family and they + any kids have it embroidered somewhere on most of their clothes
I awwed aloud at "except for a little heart on the inside part". I love that. I love that Snotlout is the one that is doing the mending and giving them a little heart.
Also, that's such a perfect way for Snotlout to show his affection/care for them. Actions speak louder than words, eh.
Hiccup's suggestion for the little symbol or pattern would probably be the Toothless symbol.
Or maybe it'd be something that could represent all their dragons. Probably something not too complicated.
I love this idea, Loki! It's so cute and sweet.
