Chapter 1
How to Train Your Art
*17 years ago*
The lights go out one by one as Valka turns them off and makes sure to close all of the doors. There had been some break-ins recently, which had freaked her out since she had Hiccup and wanted to make sure he was safe, even though part of her knows that these so-called break-ins have never happened since she had lived there—and it’s been a good 15 years.
That’s where she meets Stoick. " The man of her dreams” is what the other mothers used to gossip about when he came to their town. She would always roll her eyes, knowing they were dramatic since they had a bad taste in men, but fate would prove her wrong and let them cross paths, and in that moment, they would see each other.
And Everything Would Change For The Better And The Worst
When Valka does her last door to close she hears Stoick putting Hiccup down.
“Alright, Alright now go to sleep my boy you need to grow strong and big for me and your mom so you can protect us both when we grow old.”
“I bet he will surpass you when he is older”
“I hope so, and when he does he will help you with all of your plants from now on”
Valka laughs out loud
“You know no matter how old you get you will always help me right?”
“Well see about that, I really can’t handle any more spider bites”
As Stoick walks to Valka they hear Hiccup Coo which makes them look back and see that he's smiling.
“Aw look at that, Good night Son, I love you”
“Good night my babe”
As Valka says this for the last time, and while Stoick will never say it again to Hiccup After Tonight they close the door and go back to their room and go to sleep.
This Night Will change the course of everyone around them forever and it will never be the same.
*4:30 AM*
“Stoick”….” STOick”
Stoick moves to the side which wakes him up
“What? What's wrong?”
“There's someone in the house…”
“What?”
“There someone in here”
“…Get the gun”
Valka gets up and walks to the dresser, in the third drawer shuffles through the clothes picks up the gun, and makes sure it's loaded. Then hands it to Stoick
“Call Gober, Tell him it's urgent and to bring his gun, then call 911, he will get here faster and see who it is”
“Stoick be careful..”
“Of course”
They look at each other for the last time and for some reason, Stocik knows it will be the last time they see each other eye to eye, for some reason.
Stoick opens the door and raises his gun, while Valka walks slowly behind him and reaches Hiccup Room, When Valka gets in there that's when Gober picks up
“Hello? It is 4:34 in the Mor-“
“Gober there are people here in the house I need you to come here”
“What? Where's Stoick?”
“He checked out the house someone broke a window a-“
“Ok I'll be there in 5 Minutes call 911 Now”
“Ok, Thank you”
“Ya don't mention it”
Valka Hangs up and puts her phone in her pocket, She picks up Hiccup who gets a bit fussy, and she shushes him to make sure he doesn't make too much noise.
She walks out and then hears a thud, She knows by the sound of it, it was Stoick.
They got him
Valka then stops mid-stairs and waits to see if she hears them.
“……..I won't see her”
“What did you expect to be easy, go upstairs that's where she’ll be”
Valka slowly runs up the stairs and closes herself in her room, she looks around in a hurry to see if there's a spare gun, Hiccup starts to whine more and more, and while she tries to shush him it doesn't work.
“I Know you're in there”
“…” She still, so is Hiccup
“Come on out with the baby and no one gets hurt..alright?”
“…..Someone is coming in five minutes so you better leave”
“Sorry no can do all we need is you Valka”
It then clicks, and everything comes back, how she left home, why she left, and who she was running from, she knew she fucked up.
“Who paid you?”
“You know who..”
“No, I don't….enlighten me”
Valka hurries and tries to open the window which she can crack enough and quietly enough for no one to notice on the inside.
“Look Valka we can do this the hard way or the way where no one dies”
Valka looks at the door which is almost coming off, she should have put in that last screw to make it less wobbly, she knew but decided to put it off.
She looks at the door handle and then back at Hiccup who is Sleeping like nothing is happening, she knows she has to get out of here, and it's now or never
She picks Hiccup up and puts half of her body out of the window and right on time when she gets out completely, the kidnapper breaks through the door and runs to get to her.
She runs on her roof and looks around and sees an uncontious Gober on the ground next to her truck.
“Shit”
“There nowhere to run”
She turns around and sees her kidnapper
“…why until now? Right when everything is amazing, why?”
“I don't know, you should ask the man who paid us to have you and your son”
“No, I'm not going back, either shoot me or I'll push myself”
Valka walks near the ledge and starts to hear Hiccup cry
“come on Valka I do not want either, just come here and come peacefully, we won't kill anyone that you love ok?, as long as you come here it will be fine”
Valka took a second to process what had happened in the past 12 Minutes and made a fast decision, which was to end it all with a Hiccup, but sadly the assailant would catch on quickly and shoot her side first.
It is slow motion when she realizes it will hit Hiccup's leg and part of her lung, she tries to dodge but it is too late
“NOOO”
Valka almost falls back but is caught by the kidnapper, and all that is heard are Hiccups Loud cries, and wailing,
“Sh I know it's ok, hopefully, you won't die but who knows”
“Ple..ase….let..m..e carry, him…Please”
The assistant looks at her and with a small grin he says
“Sorry no can do you didn't do a single thing I asked you to do, and now you suffer the consequences, he will be fine though so no worries”
Valka blacks in and out and sees how they try to handle hiccup, and at some point, she’s passed out
By that point, she was in the van and 18 Minutes had passed
“Aw Shit is she dead”
“Check her Pulse”
“You can someone please shut that baby up please”
“I mean I did just shoot its leg so”
“Still it's getting on my nerves”
While they check her pulse, a shot is ringed out
“SHIT GO GO THERE HERE”
They all rush in the car and leave a blue-faced Hiccup on the side of the grass
Gober reloads his gun notices Hiccup, and rushes to him
“Hiccup, oh no, oh no”
Gober picks his gun back up and shoots at the car killing the passenger, and injuring the second passenger.
“No, NO, No, No, Oh no”
Gober picks up the almost pale faced hiccup who is passed out from the pain and he runs to the front of the house, and lucky enough an abulance is pulling up and rushes him inside.
The cops would show up right behind them and check the house, where they find a knocked-out Stoick a broken-in door, and a missing wife.
*7:30 AM*
Stock wakes up in a frantic state wanting to know where his son and his wife are, and then is given the news of his son and his wife, then he rushes through the hospital seeing if he can find out about Hiccup.
“WHERE IS MY SON!!??”
“Mr.Haddock Calm Down”
“CALM DOWN WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU MEAN CALM DOWN, WHERE IS MY SON?”
“Please I would love to tell you but you need to lower yo-“
“LOWER MY GOD DAMN VOICE MY WIFE IS GONE MY SON MAY LOSE HIS LEG WHAT THE FUCK????”
“SIR I UNDERSTAND SO PLEASE-“
“YOU UNDERSTAND OH DO Y-?”
“MR. HADDOCK PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR SON”
Silence is broght up for a few seconds, we could hear a pin drop, everyone could hear Stoicks breath sharpen but become more steady as he anticipates the news.
“…Thank you, Now Your son is alive and well…but sadly he was shot in his leg which was beyond repair I'm sorry Mr.Haddock but we couldn’t repair his left leg we had to chop it all off, he is in stable condition and you will be able to see him more in the afternoon, his hearing may be affected due to the nature of the situation but overall your son will live, just without a leg.”
after the doctor you could still hear a pin drop for the next 5 minutes no one said anything nor moved anywhere.
After 5 minutes Stoick looked around, he saw Gober and his face and by then he knew, this was a disaster in every way possible, he would lose his wife, part of his son, and part of his dignity, and from then on he promises himself to find his wife kidnappers and bring them to justice.
All it took was 20 Minutes For Stoick to lose everything he loved and cherished.
20 Minutes.

Chapter Text
This is Fort William, it's a small village in Scotland where it's foggy 75%, 20% is running, and on the lucky end 5% is sunny and warm outside, it's not much but it's enough for me, and everyone who lives here.
My name is Hiccup if you couldn't catch on and what I thought would be a stress-free first day of my senior year has turned into a catching game with my very own service dog, which is very normal for him since it is every morning this happens, and sadly he thinks
“TOOTHLESS THIS IS NOT A GAME GIVE ME BACK MY LEG”
Toothless wags his tail and hunks down to the floor as if a hiccup were to throw his leg and ready is ready to be chased by a one-legged man.
“Toothless”
“…”
“Please I'm about to be late”
“…”
“Ok.. 'm gonna move to get my leg”
“…”
“Don't move. Ok?”
“…”
Hiccups move slightly and toothless moves with him
“Toothless please we are going to miss the bus, come on buddy we will play when we get home, Ok?”
Toothless growls a little bit to show that he is not backing out of this game
“Please I promise we'll play, just give..me…my-“
Hiccups launches himself to toothless and catches him
“HA I GOT YOU NOW”
He yanks his foot out of his mouth and gets up
“Ugh, buddy you know this is hard to clean. You’re lucky this is only my house leg”
“Roff!”
“Ya, ya I know you wanted to play but playtime is over since I'm about to be late, so let's hurry up and put your harness on”
Hiccup gets up and puts on his leg while he walks to his room to change out his house leg for his outdoor leg. he knows if he left the leg toothless he would chew right through it and destroy it so he has his chess of prosthetics he owns, he gets up after putting his prosthetic on and goes to put the toothless harness on, he then gets ready and walks out the door to find the bus waiting for him
“GOOD MORNING GOBER”
“MORNIN HICCUP, NOW HURRY UP I AINT GOT ALL DAEY’
“I know I know”
He hurries down the steps with Toothless on his left side walking with him and hurries up the stairs of the bus
“So no luck on getting that car huh?”
“Nope, dads a bit too persistent that something bad will happen to me if I drive over five minutes to school”
“Huh, did you tell him-“
“Yes Gober I told him everything that you told me to tell him and nothing, you know, and I knew I wasn't going to win since I was up against a lawyer who wins almost every case he’s been given, so the odds of me being able to get a car this year was slim to none”
“Ha, that's Stoick for you, at least you tried”
“Ya..I Guess”
The ride to the school is small since my school only holds 190 kids which is pretty small for anyone who lives on the mainland but for the town, it's pretty big. The main town has everything you need and some want, some small owned shops, one main grocery store, a vet clinic, a small hospital, a movie theater, and my dad's business, His Law Firm, grant you it's small since not everyone has grand issues, but he goes out of town a lot which means he doesn't have that many customers, but when he does it's my job to fill in and take info on what they need and how my dad can help them, grant you this is a small town you would think the firm would be empty, well I'm not the only employee there, since he’s pretty big in putting people away a lot of people come to him.
He had his big breakthrough when he caught my mom's kidnappers, that was hard on him, which was what I was told every time I asked. He never brings her up since she still missing and we have no idea where she is, I think he is still looking but has no progress in the last 17 years, but who knows maybe he gave up, but I doubt it since every time he passes her photo you can still see the fire in him to find his wife, to make sure I have a chance to have a mother, but of course he hates it when I bring it up, so I never say anything.
The bus Stops abruptly.
“We're here, now hurry up before orientation starts Hiccup, oh and good luck”
“Thanks, Gober, I’ll see you later alright?”
“Yup”
“Come on Toothless, last time doing this”
“ROOF!”
“heh”
Hiccup walks up to the crowd that is slowly moving into the school and finds his way to the gym, and finds the Senior section, and sits near the Handicaped spot with toothless on his left side, and they sit down.
Finally his last year of this hell whole, well it’s not that bad, even when you have the most common steryotipical High school.
We have of course the Jocks who may enter D1 If there are Lucky this year, but I doubt it, We have the Nerds, and no not the smart ones it's the ones who love Anime, Comics, Animated Shows, all of that but hey at least they don't judge you that hard. You have the Cheerleaders, Band kids, and finally the popular kids, which funny enough is a combination of every group that I would name off, but the main star is. Astrid. I think this year she’s top of class next to me, of course not to brag but I do stay on top of my studies “heh”, but anyway Astrid is amazing she’s not only the popular girl in school, everyone loves her in town, which is good, really good, she's loved by everyone basically, but she’s tough and resilient in every good way, which so happens that I have a HUGE crush on her, shocking I know, but at least I'm humble and know that she barley notices me, who would notice a small, handicapped, crocked teeth bo-.
“HICCUP, Omg are you Deaf, I asked you to move to the side”
“ASTird, Hi..Sorry Ya Ofcourse…”
Hiccups gets up a bit with toothless scotting to the side even more to make space.
No way I just voiced craked her nam-
“So I hear your Valivictorian”
“HUh?, Oh UH I think so but I dont know since I havent heard anything by the Principle, but uh I hope that you get it since youve worked hard an-“
“Ok I dont need your life story dude, I Just wanted to see if you knew”
“Oh…Ok Well um I dont”
“Great Good to know”
Damn I think that went better than I expected, at least she wasnt that mean, but hey its the most he has talked to her in the past three years, so a win win for him.
“Ahem…Is this on?, yes OH, HELLo”
The Mic cracks loudly which leads everyone to cover their ears, toothleess whines due to the noise and covers his ears
“Ah, Apoligies for that, old people with new tech, am I right?”
You could hear a pin drop.Seriously
“AHEm, Welcome back students of Fort William High School, I bet everyone is VERY Excited to be back to school, RIght?”
“…….”
“Very well then, Lets get started with the band opening us up with the School Song, and the introduction of our New Varsity High School Football Team!”
A Few seconds later the band starts, and the Football team Runs up and waves to the crowd of students who some wave back and most clap for them.Hiccup just hopes for this to hurry along to see if he is top of his class.
“Alright Thank you Team, I wish us A very good football season, GO FORKS”
The crowd cheers loudly, then simers down after a minute
“Alright now lets continue with what everyone has been wating for, Who is our starter year Valicvitorian”
The principle takes out an envolpe and procesed to slowly open it with everyone on their edge of the seat.
This is the main event for everyone since if you get top of your class you are enterned into a scholoarship list which so happens to be a full ride to any school you want to attend, which will be funded by the school completly, so anyone and everyone who wants to go to college, wants this, since its a full ride, who wouldnt want a full ride scholorship to any school?.
“Alright let me just”
I bet hes suspending us just for shits and giggles cause why the fu-
“HICCUP HADDOCK”
“…huh”
One thing to know is that, Hiccup may have gotten chosen for the which is a good thing he may have to fight a lot this year to keep his spot.
Oh I didnt metion if Hiccup goes down in his grades he looses his spot, and the person so happen to be none other than.
“AND SALUTOTARIAN IS ASTRID”
This is going to be one hell of a year.

Chapter 3: Chapter 2-One hell of a year
Chapter Text
You would think someone who has a fake leg would gain speed after a while in physical therapy, but for Hiccup, he is one unlucky kid
“HICCUP”
The moment he heard his name Toothless would drag him as fast as he could to help him out to make sure he doesn't die with him, and honestly, he probably would have left Hiccup to survive. Eventually, Astrid would catch up to him and Hiccup, and in that moment he knew he was a goner. And as Astrid slams him into his locker,
“YOU think you could run away from ME?!”
“Hey Astrid, you know I kinda had to leave early you know since my leg kinda hurts so I thought you know since I already have to be here early I-“
“SHUT THE HELL UP” “Alright, so now you listen to me you little shrimp”
“Hey ok I'm not that sm-“
“SHUT UP SHRIMP”
“yup, yup”
“NOW your GOING TO DO SHIT IN YOUR CLASSES”
“YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE YOUR SPOT”
“YOU DONT NEED THIS SCHOLORSHIP, SINCE WE ALL KNOW YOUR DADDY CAN AFFORD IT AND SOME OF US HAVE TO WORK TO GET WHERE WE ARE, YOU HAVE MONEY, SOME OF US DONT, SO SUCK IT UP AND LOSE THE SPOT OR WATCH YOUR BACK!”
“Yup, I can agree 100%, I'll just lose it so you can leave me alone…”
“Good”
Astrid is very good at intimidation since she can be a bit of a bully for her to get her way, and make sure it stays the same, thats how her parents raised her since she has to get her way, she doesnt come from much, and she has had to work twice as hard to get her way, she would be an amazing politician.
As she walks away Hiccup is relived and lowers himself to the floor, thoothless goes down as well to help him with his leg and his blood sugar, another thing he has to worry about, so when hiccup raises his head and sees a good amount of people still looking at him with pitty and disgust due to him being the first person to have the scholorship, hes not supprised but he does feel his bloodsugar raise as well as the heat come up to his face.
“Jeez sucks for him to feel the rath of Astrid”
“Dude she always screams at you”
“So, I'm not the only one”
“What? Dude her and I are chill, shes my home girl we stick together”
“Sure”
As both the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut agrgue on who she argues with more everyone disperse and goes to their classes. Hiccup seconds later gets up with thoothless help and dust himself off
“Welp thats it for us,buddy at least it wasnt that bad” Toothless looks up at him while he looks down and gives him a small smile, toothless gives a small smile back
“Thanks bud, Lets hope we make it out this year, Hey at least its the last year and we can leave this place”
“Roff”
“Ata boy”
As Hiccup walks a little bit forward to his locker and gets his stuff out for his class he hears the first to second bell to let them know that the late bell is about to ring
“Crap, lets hurry”
As they speed run they make it on time to their class, and so on and forth till the last class. Which so happen to be gobers class, yes he is a teacher and a bus driver funny enough.
“Hello Hiccup”
“Hey Gober”
“Ready for this class?”
“No not really since your always hard on me, and you know I didnt even want to take this class, but because of my father I had to”
“Yup, so suck it up and get ready”
As Hiccup sits down near the door he sees the girl who so happen to yell at him this morning walk in, and his bloodsugar went low like no other day
“Hey Gober”
“OH Astrid, I didnt know you took this class, nice to see you and glad to have you as my student this year”
“Same Gober…look who the cat graged in”
“Hey Astri-“
“dont talk to me”
“O-K”
After Astrid walks in, her whole friendgroups come in, loud as every
“HEy give that back”-Ruffnut the loud one/She plans on being a dancer for top artist and has already danced for multiple like Dua lipa, Chappell Roan, Meghan Trainor and is adutioning for beyonce and Peso Pluma
“Well get it from me STUpId”-Tuffnut the twin/He plans on being a Profecional Skate boarder, and Runs for track. Suprisingly hes good
As they both argue they bump into Fishelegs
“AH MY CARDS NO” As he picks them up, you see that he would be the nerd and the Honor student or third in his class/ He plans on being a surgen for ER, and has already gotten a lot of scholorships for Med School
As Fishlegs picks up his flashcards, Snoutloud walks over him
“Dude your messing up my momentum” Of course Snoutloud, the Loud, abnoctious one who is the star quarter back, who happens to be an amazing hacker/He plans on continuing with football already beinf offred multiple scholorships while he pursues his dream of working with computuers and hacking everyone and anyone.
“Hey Astrid having a good day?”
“Ugh get away”
“I know you want me”
“UGh, go away”
Everyone sits down and so happen its only them in Ap English which, is funny since its the last class of the day which meant a whole workload for gobler to give since he loved giving homework just for fun…Yay
“Alright I hope everyone was able to do their summer homework and turned it in”
“WHAT?” As everyone says in unison
“IM Just joking, but you will be given a year project as well as your first writing project”
“UGhhhh” All in unison except Hiccup and Astrid
“Alright settel down. Now for your year project this will be given to you know and as I pass you the ruburic you will and should get an 100 since its very simple”
as they get passed down hiccup is the last to get one and when its passed by Astrid gives it to him they so happen to drop infront of him
“Oops”
“Hiccup pick that up”
Hiccup of course gets blamed and as he picks it up theres small giggles behind him
“alright calm down”
Hiccup picks it up, and hears gobber continue with the assingment guidlines
“So first of all, welcome to AP English this class with be the one with the most workload and the most stressfull class to take, and I do this to help you with getting used to college for those who are going” Gobber looks at Ruffnut on purpose
“Hey Im doing what im doing which is dancing”
“Ya Ya I know”
“Anyways, Back on topic The rubric I gave you is this years project which is an essay/Diary of your day to day life, of whatever you want, of course no one will see these and at the end of the year we will have a burn the book ceromony to give condolonces to your past and to move on forward with your new life or new chapter, I will be reviewing these diaries every week to make sure your are writing at least a half of page of what happend in your life, and im only reviewing I will not read anything you wrote so you have free reign on what you write”
“Nice”
“Yes”
As they all say in unison
“BUT If I glace on a word that may involve Illegal activity I will read only that day of what you wrote, so be carefull of what you say since you never know who may be watching”
“Damn”
“there goes all my secrets”
“Now let continue on, with todays lesson”
Once Hiccup hears that he doses off and opens his doodle journal, and starts to draw the outline of the classroom and how everyone is seated and paying attention, after 45 minutes of almost finishing he hears the bell
“Alright before you leave get your journal and write your name and place them in the bin!”
As Hiccup stands up including toothless right by his side, he gets a book and writes his name and puts it in the bin his class was assigend to, and as soon as he tries to leave he gets pused to the side including toothless
“Move”
“Ow, hey you could have said excuse me”
“Whatever”
Of course Toothless knew she was close so he moved to the side and didnt get caught in the colision, so he goes near Hiccup and helps him up
“Thanks bud”
As he gets up theres less people in the halways so hes able to take his time to get to his assigned bus spot, and waits until gobber gets out which is not long.
“Hey Gober”
“Hello Hiccup, You ok?”
“Ya why?”
“saw what happend with astrid”
“Ya its fine shes still pretty mad about the whole scholorship thing”
“Well dont let her get to you”
“I know,I know, Thanks gober she never takes it too far”
“Ha, maybe you ned glasses”
Gobber gets in the bus and hiccup goes in first and soon they go and drop everyone off, and the last house is hiccup
“Thanks Gobber”
“O’Course its my job”
As Hiccup gets off with toothless running out first and sitting infront of the gate to wait for Hiccup, he waves off gobber and gets down and walks to a wating dog who wags his tale very happlly wating to run around the front of his house
“I know, im going, im going”
Hiccup opens the door and toothless flies off running around the front yard while Hiccup walks to the front door he realizes it monday which means Gothie is helping him cook today, so he opens the door without the key
“GOTHIE?”
He hears a bang which means shes in the kitchen, he walks to the kitchen while setting his bag down and opening the fridge to see if theres any snacks
“Hey Gothie any snaks?”
she hits the ground twice for no
“Man, are you making them, do you need help?”
she hits once for yes she needs help
“Alright lets get started”
She smiles at him as a thank you, and they start with his snacks, since Hiccup has diabetes he meal preps to make sure he is able to control his blood sugar, and gothie helps since she gets free food for helping them out, and as they finish they go onto breakfeast, lunch, dinner, and some extras for his dad since he works out a lot and is always hungry, which helps him out most of the time.
“few, Thanks gothie for the help”
She nods her head as she picks up her bad with her portion of the food and walks out the door
“See you next monday!”
She hits the ground once
since they finished early, Hiccup waits until he hears the door close and the gate to close for him to rush to his room and get his stuff things together to go to his little shack called berk.His dad is pretty strick with what he does and he doesnt like it when Hiccup draws for some reason since he wants him to study for law school, so he made up a lie to make sure his passion never leaves and its been the best thing hes done, besides him liying to his dad its been great.
But not all great things last as he turns his dad pops up out of no where
“AH-Dad…what are you doing here..its early”
“Well I got of early since it was slow and i finished everything early, so I tought to stop by my own house for a change…what are you doing?”
“NOthinG….”
“…Ok?, then let me se-“
“DAd you know me and gothie did finish making food so you should go and eat…Right?”
“OH, good what did you make this time, or well what did she make”
As Stoick speed runs down stairs Hiccup lets out a sigh of relif since he got away with his backpack this time.
“UHHH, we made Shepards pie and Pozole, something else but I forget the name”
Hiccup takes the chance and fixes his stuff toghter and places his bag near the door
“Hey dad ima head out”
“Ok, Come back before 9:30 Ok?”
“YUP, know the drill, come on buddy”
Hiccup gets his bag and toothless who is filled with mud
“Buddy come on you know this barley washes off”
“ROFF”
“ya, ya I know come here”
Hiccup washes him off which takes too long but he gets it done, after that he gets on his bike with toothless on his leash
“Ready?”
“ROOF ROOF”
“ok ok….NOW”
Toothless runs off with hiccup behind him, as they race to his little hut, they get there in speed time, huffing and puffing. Hiccup gets out his stick and poke Which is what he calls his Blood sugar tester, since he fells dizzy and toothless is nudging him like crazy.
“Ok Ok, im going”
He pokes himself still out of breath and shakingly cheks his blood sugar which supprisingly is very low, so he pops a small bag of sour patch kids and downs it all, which helps him out and gives toothless a treat for nuding him once he sat down on the ground
“Good Job buddy, thanks for doing your job”
Hiccup stays on the ground still a bit out of breath and looks at the sky, and thinks about everything and how this is really his last year in this school, his last time where he has to worry about what other people think about him , even though its not on his mind a lot, but still some people can be assholes, about how it may be the last first time he visits berk his hut, everything is coming to a close and hes scared but hes ready for his new chapter in life.
As he finshing contiplating and over thinking he hears a door squeaking and his dog bark a little
“Whats up buddy?”
He looks up and sees the mail man came…THE MAIL MAN!!, He must have gotten his letters back, maybe just maybe he can complete his dream. He runs to the mail box and opens it with excitment while toothless runs around him happy and not having a single clue what is going on
Hiccup sees two envolopes and grabs them and realizes, both school responded…and their both thick…wait..
Hiccup looks at both and it soon clicks, he got accepted to both, its not the first one that came in but its the one hes been wating for so he knows how they will look if they offer you a scholorship and a spot in their school…but theres two, one being the law school he was forced to apply for and his dream art school.
“Oh shit”
This is going to be one hell of a desion to make

Chapter Text
As Hiccup stares at both of the thick envelopes he thinks
‘Maybe they're different things and not at all scholarships that I applied for, it's not like I wanted to hear back from them…’
Hiccup looks down at Toothless who is lying down in his bed and looks at him with soft eyes
“I know, I'm just overreacting…Right?”
Hiccup stares down at both and after a few minutes he opens the art school envelope first, and knowing what was in it already he jumps with joy and runs out of his berk due to excitment, Toothless joining him and running behind him
“YES, I GOT IT”
After a few minutes of him jumping out of excitement, he opens the second one which to not much of a surprise it is an acceptance letter and a scholarship.
This is what will bin him to his father for the rest of his life, he had a father but he was never really there, him and his father didnt have that great of a relashionship since forver, and he knew he was never going to change, some things came up a while back which made hiccup determained to get out of that house as soon as possible and never look back.
But it's his father, he's the only family he has besides his family on his mother side but he has never seen them nor has asked, since the only time he asked, hiccup would be shouted at for around 30 minutes and to never ask about them again, and he deffinetly learned that leason.
“Jesus I guess I'm that smart and cool right toothless?”
Toothless would look up at him with the most serious face a dog could give
“Ok never mind”
After some time Hiccup would pack up both papers in their designated folders and put them away and take out his supplies to draw, today was somewhat gloomy day but a little bit of sunshine came out, so Hiccup would open a small window on the side of his hut and set up to draw what was infront of him.
After a few 3 Hours, he would check his phone and realize, his dad said to come back before 9:30, and funny enough it was 9:12, now you think to yourself
‘Dude he has like 15 or 13 minutes to get home it's not that bad’
Well lucky for him it takes 20 to 25 minutes to get back home and, even luckier for him, if he’s even a minute late he has to tell his dad every important court case by memory word by word, every minute he is late.
Hiccup realizes hes fucked but hurries up and puts up his art supplies faster than ever, luckly when he finished and locks up his hut, he gets a text from his dad
“Going out, I’ll let it slide that you're late but next time you owe me double”
‘Phew’
“That's good now I don't have to worry about my blood sugar, so you can get a break toothless”
Toothless looks up with a smile, “ROFF”
“Yup, I would bark out of happiness too buddy”
Hiccup gets on his bike and rides his way home with Toothless strolling like no care in the world, so after 20 minutes they get home and since Hiccup is pretty lucky today he is welcomed by silence
“Nice, come on buddy let's get this off”
When Hiccup Kneels down, he hears something in the kitchen…his dad isn't home so he says still.
“….hello?”
Something responds back
“….hello?”
Funny enough it sounds just like him, and then Toothless starts to growl
“Hey buddy… It's ok’
“Whoever's there I have 911 dialed so you better leave”
“Leave?”
Hiccup stays still for about a minute after it responded, he then stepped forward to move to the kitchen, and on the way he grabs the metal bat that so happen to be next to the kitchen door.
Hiccup gets ready to swing when he swings the door open, with Toothless running in behind him and barking loudly and running around the kitchen.
He soon realizes nothing there, which freaks him out more since he hears the door close behind him.
“AH”
He turns and sees his dad by the door
“…What in God's name are you doing?”
Hiccup hides the bat behind him “Oh hey dad, you know I'm just playing with Toothless and-“
“He's not a dog to play with, I pay the hospital a lot of money for him to take care of you, not to be a normal dog, now quit it”
“Ya I know Dad it's just th-“
“You know what? How much does he cost, how much he takes time and space, or do you know anything?”
Silence is upon them, Hiccup not moving and his toothless head lowered and stoick sighing after a few minutes of the silence
“Look, ive had a rough day, some clients are being a hard ass so if you see me in a mood then just leave me be ok?”
“…sure”
The atsophere is still heavy after a few minutes even when both of them move to their rooms, this is the normal for hiccup and toothless, hes constiantly reminded how he cost money, how much he can be a bit of a burden, he wants out, he wants to leave just to make sure his dad doesnt have to worry about him anymore. That's why he wants to leave so bad but is still left with the hanning man in his room.
Does he really want to leave his dad alone and be disappointed by him the moment he leaves, or be able to leave with a heavy heart but make his dad proud and be happier than he's ever seen him?
Funny enough he soon will find out theres a lot more to worry about this year that may be more changeling than hes ever faced.
