Okay, guys. I've seen this in some of my other fandoms and though I'd give it a shot in this one. This is what I want to do. Simply put, you think of a prompt/anything you want to see in a HTTYD story and I will do it to the best of my ability. I'll try to do every prompt but one or two might not spark my creativity so I may not. A few things I won't do are gender-bending, slash, or excessive cursing (By Odin's Beard doesn't count). And, just as a warning, I've done about zilch romance so don't expect anything remarkable if you give me a romantic prompt, but I will give it a shot. Let's have some fun, guys!

Title: The Hiccups

Summary: Hiccup hiccups. Toothless hiccups. Astrid laughs.

Rating: K+


A wise man (Stoick the Vast) once said, "If you eat too fast, you'll get the hiccups."

Hiccup had never really believed him. Why? Well, ironically enough, Hiccup had never hiccupped once in his life (that he could remember). Though, he didn't eat much in the first place, so eating too fast had never been a problem. That is, until he defeated Red Death and was hailed as Berk's hero.

Suddenly, Berkian women were shoving food into his hands left and right. They usually said something like, "You need to get some food in you, lad," or "Here have a (insert food name), you need to stay strong for all the hard work you're doing," or "How's your leg, Hiccup? This (insert food name) will help you feel better."

Toothless was immensely grateful.

But sometimes, unfortunately, Hiccup was forced to eat the food in front of Berk's suddenly numerous mother hens. One such day this had happened multiple times before he managed to politely flee.

Breathing an immense sigh of relief, Hiccup set off to the Great Hall to find Astrid. They were going to start planning out the dragon races. Gobber had suggested it as a new sport since dragon killing was out. So Hiccup wobbled up the steps to the Great Hall, Toothless on his heels. Dragging the door open, Hiccup slipped inside and instantly located Astrid, sitting by herself at one of the smaller tables with her breakfast.

"Hi, Astrid," Hiccup greeted a little breathlessly. He was still getting used to only having one and a half legs.

Astrid looked up and smiled. "Hey, Hiccup."

Hiccup slide onto the bench, and Toothless made himself comfortable on the floor next to him.

"No breakfast?" Astrid asked curiously, watching as Hiccup spread out notebooks and paper in front of him instead of food.

Hiccup shook his head and grimaced. "I had plenty on the way here."

"Oh?" Astrid said. Then she remembered seeing one woman giving Hiccup food the other day and she understood. Astrid didn't laugh. She didn't even snicker. She did, however, have to smother a grin with her hand.

Hiccup gave her a 'not funny' look but didn't say anything about it. "Anyway, so I was thin-"

Quite abruptly, Hiccup's chest seized and a sharp catch in his breath sounded, replacing the rest of his sentence.

Astrid looked startled for a moment but then she actually did laugh. Well, chuckle, but that was immaterial. She was laughing at him.

"Hey! -hiccup- this isn -hiccup- 't funny! -hiccup-" Hiccup protested, but his broken sentences only made Astrid laugh harder. "Astr -hiccup- id!"

Toothless poked his head up and peered inquisitively at Hiccup, trilling his question. What the heck are you doing now?

"Don't -hiccup- laugh!" Hiccup sternly told them both, but the hiccup ruined his credibility. Apparently the irony of Hiccup hiccupping was just too much for Astrid.

Cocking his head, Toothless sat up straight. Hiccup hiccupped again. Toothless squinted thoughtfully at the two humans, one laughing and the other making a strange gasping, strangled sound. Toothless decided to try it.

Hiccup groaned. Why? As Toothless did his best imitation of a hiccup, Astrid doubled over, looking like she might even fall off the bench.

"Shut -hiccup- up, Toothless," Hiccup said. "This is -hiccup- embarrassing enough!"

Toothless obeyed, looking confused, like he couldn't understand the strange ways of these vikings. Hiccup waited impatiently for Astrid to stop laughing, and held his breath, hoping for the nuisance to go away.

Astrid finally calmed, but the grin remained on her face.

"Are you done?" Hiccup groused, thanking Thor when he didn't hiccup again.

"Yeah," Astrid said, her voice a little higher pitch than normal like she still wanted to laugh. "What was it you were saying about the races?"

Hiccup relaxed, opened his mouth to explain what he'd been trying to say, and... hiccupped. Astrid snickered again. Hiccup groaned. Toothless copied the hiccup again.

This time Astrid seemed to have been attacked by silent fits of laughter. Tears tickled the corners of her eyes and she gasped for air. Hiccup hiccupped again.

"Did you just hiccup, Hiccup!" A voice that could only belong to Snotlout exclaimed.

Hiccup let his head thud on the table. He was never going to take food from the Berkian women again.

The end.


Alright, give me some prompts guys!
