Okay so I wasn't planning on doing a second for this, but I've had a couple ideas come up so...yeah part two. You really need to read the first part to get this.
Hiccup arrived early at the main hut the next morning to find Snotlout alone watching the sunrise. After the events of the previous night he simply sighed smiling and quietly joined him. Snotlout noticed Hiccup join him, but didn't say anything continuing to watch the morning sun crest over the the horizon. The two young men stood there in content silence for several minutes before it was broken by a soft voice rarely used.
"You won't tell anyone right? About me that is." Hiccup's smile fell a bit remembering the conversation they'd had under the stars. He understood how it felt to be different from the rest of his family, but unlike Snotlout he never hid that fact.
"No, I won't. But I hope you will." Eyes growing wide Snotlout turns to the younger viking. Hiccup couldn't really mean what he thought right?
"What do you mean Hic? You know what will happen…" Hiccup put up a hand to stop the other man.
"Actually I don't know, and neither do you. Snotlout last night I saw a side of you I didn't even know was there. If that really is the true you then you shouldn't be ashamed to be yourself." Snotlout looked away scoffing at Hiccup's words.
"That's easy for you to say. Do you honestly believe I haven't tried. As much as I wish it could happen it just can't." Hiccup became frustrated quickly turning and taking Snotlout by the shoulders which surprised him.
"The only reason you say that is because your father made you think it's true. Snotlout he's wrong and so are you. You never have to be anything you don't want. It isn't right that you've been forced to believe otherwise." Snotlout stood frozen for a moment before looking down and removing Hiccup's hands from his person. He shook his head and silently turned away from his friend.
"Hiccup I appreciate what you're trying to say, but it just won't work. Even if you believe that, the majority believes the opposite. The fact is Hic, that no matter what I think or you think it doesn't matter. Please just drop it alright?" Hiccup was going to retaliate but stopped himself. He thought for a moment before nodding.
"Okay Snot. If that's really what you want I'll stop." Snotlout nodded giving a weak smile before heading for the training area. Hiccup waited for him to be gone before running to his hut to get Toothless. The dragon bounced happily as his rider mounted him to fly off. Before they could go a familiar voice caught Hiccup off guard.
"Just where do you think you're going Hiccup?" Turning around Hiccup saw Astrid with her arms crossed wait for an answer. Hiccup sighed having hoped he could get away before anyone else got up.
"I'm going to Berk. Dad wants a report about how we're stabilizing ourselves out here." Astrid raised a brow skeptically.
"Couldn't you just send a terror mail for that?" Hiccup cursed under his breath knowing he could hide from Astrid. Sighing again he dismounted Toothless looking Astrid right in the eye.
"Alright you caught me. I need some advise about a problem so I was gonna go talk to my dad. And Gobber if he's not too busy. Happy now?" Noticing the sarcasm in his last words Astrid simply rolled her eyes and walked away. With this Hiccup took off on Toothless heading straight for Berk and hopefully the answers he seeks.
Alright this will be a two parter so get comfy. But not right now because I have a life and might take a couple days. Let me know what you think so far. Bye =).
