Hello! So, recently I've had to take up learning ASL because my Nanna is starting to go deaf, and then that got me thinking about a Deaf!Hiccup fanfiction. I've only seen a couple deaf Hiccup fanfics so far, and they weren't finished, so this idea sort of sprung up! I'm not really sure where this is going, so requests are greatly appreciated!

Hope you enjoy, and leave a review!

Chapter 1

"HICCUP!"

Hiccup jumped at the sound of his name, the charcoal pencil he was using flying from his hand in surprise. He twisted around on his stool by his desk, looking towards the entrance of the forge to see a very flustered and panting Snotlout. Toothless shot up in surprise as well, only to groan and sink back to the floor at no sign of immediate danger. Hiccup sighed and turned back to his work, rolling his eyes as he picked up his pencil.

"What did you break this time?" He deadpanned. Snotlout scoffed and stormed into the forge, talking Hiccup's shoulders and twisting the teen back around to face him in his seat.

"I didn't do anything… this time. We got a problem." Hiccup groaned and stood up following his older cousin lead the way towards the center of the village quickly, Toothless trailing behind.

"What kind of problem? On a scale of Terrible Terror-to-Twins?" Hiccup rushed to catch up to a near sprinting Snotlout, slamming into his back when he came to an abrupt stop in the village square. The two tumbled to the ground in a heap, looking up when rushed footsteps came at them. The cousins looked up at Astrid as she held out a hand to each. They stood, and the resident dragon trainer looked over her shoulder to see what all the commotion was about. His eyes widened at the sight.

"A Thunderdrum!?" Standing a few feet away from the three teens, was an obviously aggravated purple Thunderdrum. Hiccup turned his gaze to Astrid, waiting for answers.

"It came out of no where! We were just headed to the Academy for training when we heard screaming! We came over to see this guy rampaging through the village!" Hiccup nodded.

"Is anyone hurt?" Fishlegs ran over at that moment, face flush from exertion.

"No one's hurt, just a lot of destruction throughout the village. I sent the twins to get Stoick." Hiccup nodded once again, then turned towards the Thunderdrum. He moved to step forward, only to stop as he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. He looked back at Astrid's concerned expression.

"Be carful, this one's pretty dangerous." Hiccup smiled back and moved forward again.

"I'll be fine, don't worry." He turned back, eyes narrowed in thought as he took in the situation. The Thunderdrum had managed to tip over multiple barrels of fish, having his way with the meal. Hiccup did a once over, and seeing no injuries on the dragon, continued to approach slowly. He could here the twins returning to the scene and looked back, spotting his father's anxious look.

"Hiccup! What in Thor's name are you doing!?" Hiccup sighed and switched his gaze to the dragon, who was now watching him with slight interest, slight annoyance.

"What does it look like?" The teen ignored the scoff he got in return and switched his focus to the dragon, speaking quiet soothing words. His hand was just about to reach the purple dragon's snout, when the Thunderdrum reared back, opening his mouth, and letting out one of his concussive sound blast. Hiccup's eyes widened as he tried to bring his hands up to his ears, only to be a second to late, getting thrown to the ground by the powerful blast.

"Hiccup!" Multiple calls of his name, and Night Fury shriek sounded muffled to him, his ears ringing painfully as he tried to sit up. He groaned and fell back to the ground, watching with pain-filled eyes as the Thunderdrum flew off, apparently finished with his meal. Hiccup felt someone pick him up, and a muffled call for Gothi met his ears before everything went black.

Stoick watched as Hiccup fell to the ground with a pained yelp, his hands desperately trying to cover his ears to keep out the enormous soundwaves coming towards him. He yelled his name with wide eyes, several voices following his. He watched as the dragon, satisfied with his work, turn and fly away from the island. Stoick immediately ran to his son, Toothless following as they both watched Hiccup try to sit up, only earning him a groan of pain as he fell back down. The Chief skidded on his knees slightly as he crashed down next to his son, Astrid following suit on his other side, the other teens surrounding them with various looks of worry. Stoick leaned down and lifted Hiccup into his arms, standing up quickly.

"Someone get Gothi!" He heard one of the teens shout, probably Astrid, and watched as Snotlout and the twins took off on there dragons towards the elder's hut. Fishlegs surged forward, moving people out of the way for the Chief.

Stoick quickly made his way to his house, Astrid, Fishlegs, and Toothless trailing behind him. They all looked up at the sound of wing beats and watched as the Nightmare and Zippleback landed, their riders, as well as Gothi and Gobber dismounting. They made their way into the house and up the stairs. Stoick set his son down on his bed, then moved out of the way to let Gothi through. Everyone watched silently as the elder examined the unconscious teen, hoping and praying for good news.

Gothi stepped back and threw some sand to the ground, using her staff to write out the ruins. Gobber stepped forward and sighed in relief.

"She says Hiccup should be alright, nothing but a possible headache when he wakes u-" The blacksmith was cut off by the sound of a groan. All eyes turned to the teen in bed, watching as he stirred slightly.

"He's waking up!" Stoick knelt at the side of the bed, watching as Hiccup's eyes blinked open slowly.

Hiccup blinked his eyes open, looking up to see everyone leaning over him, various looks of concern on their faces. His eyes narrowed in confusion as he sat up. Why was everyone being so quiet? He looked at his dad, only to see his lips moving, but no sound coming out. This just managed to confuse Hiccup even more. He brought a hand up to his head, hitting the side of it, then moving down and pulling on his ear. Why couldn't he hear anything…

Eyes suddenly wide with worry, both hands shot up to his ears as he looked up at his dad frantically. Stoick's eyes widened as well in sudden realisation. He rested a hand on Hiccup's shoulders, trying to calm the teen down. His mouth was moving, in what Hiccup assumed were supposed to be soothing words, but only served to scare him even more. His breaths came out as short gasps as he looked around the room, seeing everyone trying to speak to him, but not hearing anything.

What was going on?
