Trust
My 3rd KakaSaku one shot in 2 hours because I am a hopeless hoe shipper
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was already half past midnight as Sakura carried Kakashi who was passed out drunk in his room and laid him down on his bed as gently as she could.
After removing his vest and shoes, she sat at the edge of her ex-sensei's bed to stare at his sleeping form.
It was the very first time Kakashi had been drunk. Sakura couldn't recall a single instance of Kakashi ever getting drunk in the past, and she wondered if his senses were still as sharp as when he's sober.
As if on cue, an idea struck her mind. Without really thinking it through, Sakura inched closer to Kakashi. And then she slowly raised her hand, zeroing in on Kakashi's mask. With Kakashi unconscious, it was the perfect chance to take his mask off. Sakura stuck out a finger and hooked it at the edge of Kakashi's mask, and then she slowly pulled it down, all the while her heart was beating loudly against her chest with mixed excitement and fear, ignoring the little voice at the back of her head.
Halfway down, though, Sakura froze when she felt the strong pull of her conscience.
No, she thought. This isn't right.
It's true they've been desperate for years to know how Kakashi looked like under the mask and had devised multiple ways on how they could take it off him, but during all those times Kakashi had been awake and aware. Sakura shook her head and abruptly took her hand back, her heart still thumping hard against her ribcage.
"No, I can't do this to Kakashi-sensei," Sakura mused aloud to herself, turning away from Kakashi to stare at her hands. "I can't betray his trust like this. He had the mask for a reason. I should respect that. I shouldn't take it off without his permission. It'd be like... undressing him. I wouldn't want that to happen to me."
She signed, but she was pleased with her decision. "Maybe I'll just ask him again to take it off in the future. Who knows. He might finally give in." Sakura smiled to herself.
She turned back to Kakashi to stare at him some more. He never looked so calm and peaceful than when he was in a deep sleep. She'd never seen him that way, and for a moment she was tempted to just stay there and gawk at him. Sakura shook herself out of her reverie and gingerly stood. She smoothed the covers over Kakashi, turned off the main light and turned on the lamp on the bedside table, and finally walked to the door. But before she left, she threw another glance at the man sleeping on the bed. And then she was gone.
*****
As soon as the click of the closed door reverberated in the night, indicating that Sakura had indeed left, Kakashi opened his eye and stared up at the ceiling, a smile curving at the corner of his lips. He had been awake even before Sakura brought him to his room.
He replayed Sakura's words in his head over and over again while a warm feeling spread over his chest. He had never felt that way in a long time and he found he rather liked it. One of these days he'd surprise her, Kakashi decided. Sakura would get her wish. She deserved so in exchange for her great respect for him.
He never believed in owing anyone anything, but Sakura was different.
How and why, he'd ponder on that later on.

Lol, tbh, I think Snotlout fits Dean much better than any of the other Dragon Riders. Repressed bisexual who thinks he's a macho man and has an awful dad? Yeah, could be either.
I can't be sure if Toothless is Castiel or Dean, or if Hiccup is Castiel or Dean. They both embody some traits of both. If any of the Dragon Riders would be Castiel though, it would be Hiccup.
(Sorry this is rambly. I'm typing while thinking.)
Toothless could definitely be Dean. Dean goes through an arc where he becomes a demon and tries to kill Sam. Toothless is controlled by the Bewilderbeast and tries to kill Hiccup. They both come out the other side of it.
So, okay, to make it succinct: Hiccup is Castiel and Toothless is Dean.

I’m not saying it’s rambly, but if it comes off as rambly, I don’t care, because I like seeing the thought process, and because it’s so much more meaty than just a one sentence opinion.
Definitely can see your point re Snotlout, because... yeah, exactly. (Also, if one wanted to do a SPN AU with him, maybe Hiccup is Sam, and they’re cousins instead of brothers, to borrow that book canon that everyone’s so keen on acting like it’s actual canon to DWA HTTYD.)
I like that. Hiccup is Castiel and Toothless is Dean. Plus, like, Dean has that handprint of Castiel on him, if I understand correctly. Toothless has at least one mark on him caused by Hiccup.
Plus “I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition”? Re Hiccup and Toothless? I vibe. (Also, that line sounds like an amazing song lyric.)
