When Hiccup woke up that morning, he did what he always did; he showered, dressed, feed his cat and made his way to work, expecting a normal day ahead; when arrived at the garage he had worked at, however, he saw his boss standing out front, a grin on his face that told Hiccup it would not be a normal day. The man gestured towards Hiccup as he noticed him, smile widening "Ah lad! You're here"
"Well yeah, I come here almost every day" Hiccup chuckled as he walked towards his boss "What are you doing out here Gobber? You normally never leave the shop"
"Oh har har" Gobber laughed with equal amounts of sarcasm "Seems I have a comedian working for me"
Hiccup chuckled "But really Gobber, why are you out here?"
Scratching the back of his hand with his real hand, the crooked smiled dropped slightly "Well as you know, the shops getting quite a bit of business now a days and with all the new projects we're been-"
"You've been"
"I've been-" Gobber corrected "-taking on, the jobs have to pile up a bit so I put a help wanted sign in the paper"
Hiccup raised his eyebrows "and?"
"Well i hired someone of course! And he'll be here any minute"
"And I'm just learning this now?" Hiccup's eyebrow rose even more as he stared at Gobber as the man shifted on his feet and shrugged "Well, the right time never come up"
Hiccup rolled his eyes and was about ready to head inside when Gobber's heavy hand fell on his shoulder and stopped him "and there's something else"
Hiccup sighed and turned to the blond man as he smiled "Well, you're my best employee"
"Your only employee"
"You're still the best!" Gobber came back with loudly before speaking normally "Well I need someone show him the ropes and why not my very best"
"So…you want me to train him?" Hiccup deadpanned; Gobber grinned widely and nodded, Hiccup sighed again before nodded "Sure, I guess, can't be that hard right? What's his name?"
"Jackson overland, some kid from the Burgess, few years older than you, I think"
"You think?" Hiccup questioned.
Gobber shrugged "Well I've never meet him, all I know about him I read on his application" Gobber clapped his hand on Hiccup's back and guarded him inside "Look, you get to work, I'll want out here for the new guy and send him in when he's here, okay"
Hiccup chuckled and walked through the wide, open door "Sure thing Gobber" he said before walking further into the building.
Walking towards the back and pushing the door open, Hiccup stepped into a large room, walls lined with workbenches and equipment of all kind, parts of cars, bikes and other vehicles laid astray. Hiccup walked towards the entire of the room towards a large, bulky shape, hidden under an oil-stained tarp; the brunet pulled of his green jacket and laid it on one of the benches before rolling up his sleeves and smiling as he walked towards the hidden objects, grabbing the fabric and yacked it off to reveal a faded, old red truck, liquid dripping from it into a large, growing pile beneath it.
Hiccup's smile dropped, replaced by a frown as he scratched the back of his head and sighed "Damn"
Laying his hand onto the ripped leather seat, Hiccup looked over the bike "This is goona be fun" he muttered and looked around the room, frown turning into a face of determination as his eyes fell onto his equipment before getting to work.
