UPDATE: OKAY, HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE AND I MEAN HUUUUUGGGGEEEE THANKS TO Guest WHO SHOWED ME THE PROPER TRANSLATIONS!
And also: I got a review saying that this story was almost exactly like another story, and I just want to say, that if it is, IT IS COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONAL. I really don't read fanfiction very often, and when I do, I make ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SURE BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that I do not copy anything. So, I am sorry if I appear to have done so with this and other stories (maybe? I honestly don't know) because I don't mean to do it AT ALL.
Hiccup was angry. Well, that was the underestimate of the year. No matter how hard he tried to get Ruffnut and Tuffnut to listen, the results were always the same. The twins had no respect for their heir and teacher, and so, whenever he told them to do one thing, they did the exact opposite.
They hadn't listened to him at all the previous day, so he had punished them, telling them both that they had to meet him at the academy earlier than the others to make up for lost work. Unfortunately, they were just making more for themselves.
"WOULD YOU GUYS STOP IT!?" he yelled, just as they got ready to tell their dragon to fire at a barrel.
"We could if we would," said Tuffnut.
"But we can't, so we shant," said Ruffnut. Then, they commanded their dragons to fire, which the Zippleback did, blasting the barrel out of existence. Hiccup growled under his breath.
As if on cue, Astrid, Fishlegs and Snotlout arrived for their daily lessons as well. They landed their dragons and dismounted, rushing into the academy to find the source of the smoke. Their terror ended when they saw Ruffnut and Tuffnut mounted on Barf and Belch, along with a furious Hiccup and angered Toothless.
"Another fun day," said Astrid as she slid off Stormfly's back. "What are they doing?"
"Everything but what I tell them to do," said Hiccup in response.
"Easy," said Fishlegs. "Whatever you want them to do, tell them to do the opposite. If you don't want them to blow stuff up, then tell them to blow stuff up. It'll work."
"I tried that twice," said Hiccup, shaking his head as he turned to Fishlegs. "It didn't work. They may act like complete lunatics, but they're both smart when they want to be."
In front of them, Ruffnut and Tuffnut blew up another barrel, leaving the academy to fill with smoke. Astrid coughed and waved it away with her hands, the others around her doing the same.
"THAT IS IT!" Hiccup shouted. Everyone instantly turned and looked at them. "Sono stanco che combiniate sempre guai!" he shouted.
"What?" said Astrid.
"Non lo saprai mai," said Hiccup.
"What is he doing?" said Snotlout.
"I have no idea," said Fishlegs. "Hiccup, what's this about?"
"Mi store vendicando," said Hiccup. He laughed as if it were hilarious.
"I think he's talking in some other language," said Astrid.
"Oh, ma dai?" Hiccup asked.
"Hiccup," said Tuffnut. "Cut it out now, dude. You're kind of freaking me out. This isn't funny."
"Sì lo è!" Hiccup laughed.
At that exact moment, Stoick entered the academy, looking at the other riders: Astrid, who looked furious; Snotlout, who looked confused; Fishlegs, who looked concerned; Ruffnut and Tuffnut who both looked weirded out; and then lastly, Hiccup, who looked proud of himself.
"Okay, what's going on?" said Stoick.
"Mi stavano esasperando!" Hiccup shouted.
Stoick sighed. "He's doing it again," he said, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Doing what?" said Astrid. "Why is he doing this?"
"He's obviously mad at you," said Stoick. Hiccup nodded. "When he's mad at you, he'll speak in other languages to make you mad at him in return." Hiccup grinned, and nodded. "It drives me nuts," Stoick groaned.
"Ha ragione. Mi state tutti infastidendo immensamente proprio ora," said Hiccup.
"WHAT!?" Astrid shouted.
"Era ora!" Hiccup shouted, saluting slightly as he turned and walked out of the arena, Toothless following him. "Non vorrei essere nei vostri! Panni adesso!
"Where do you think you're going!?" Astrid yelled.
"Via!" Hiccup shouted in response, mounted Toothless, and then took to the sky.
"I am very, very, very confused right now," said Fishlegs. "How many languages does Hiccup speak?"
"He speaks five fluent languages," said Stoick, rubbing a hand over his eyes. "I don't know where he picks it up."
"How did I never know this before?" said Astrid.
"Not many people know," said Stoick. "He really doesn't get mad very often, and when he does, he doesn't usually speak in another language like that; only when he is really angry. Consider yourselves lucky," he added.
"Lucky!?" said Astrid.
"Yes," said Stoick. "You don't live with him."
Author's Notes:
Okay, so this is just a headcanon I came up with while hearing about an Italian character. I thought it would be funny if Hiccup could actually speak different languages. Just so you know, the language Hiccup is speaking is Italian. I don't speak Italian, so I used translate. If any of you speak Italian and notice I got some of the things wrong, please do not hesitate to bring it to my attention.
Since Hiccup is the son of the Chief, heir of Berk, it stands to reason that he did quite a bit of traveling while growing up, just because of the normal standards and traditions for the heirs of the villages. And since Hiccup likes learning more than fighting, if he visited another tribe that spoke a different language, I see no reason why he couldn't pick it up.
Besides, he's incredibly smart, and in the books, he spoke Latin, so I thought, why not something else as well?
Here are the translations for what Hiccup was saying, in case any of you want them:
Sono stanco che combiniate sempre guai! - I am tired of you always messing around.
Non lo saprai mai - You will never know.
Mi store vendicando - Getting revenge.
Oh, ma dai? - Oh, you think?
Sì lo è - Yes it is!
Mi stavano esasperando! - They were bugging me!
Ha ragione. Mi state tutti infastidendo immensamente proprio ora. - He is correct. You are all annoying me to no end right now.
Era ora - So long!
Non vorrei essere nei vostri! Panni adesso! - See you when I see you! Would not want to be you!
Via - Away!
And again, if I got anything wrong, please let me know. Until next time! :D
