That evening, Hiccup was still awake but thinking about Toothless as he liked playing with him today since the other kids especially Astrid thought he was weird but he hoped he could find him again in the morning since his Dad would be busy so wouldn't mind him wandering the forests of Berk but he was getting sleepy, passing out as Stoick entered.
He couldn't help but smile at the little brown haired boy asleep since he looked so much like his mother, Valka but he didn't like talking about her in front of his son or around others because it made him sad so couldn't let Hiccup see.
"I know I seem mad around him but I care about him very much, as I promised Valka I would watch out for him even if he is different.
He left his son to sleep but was thinking about things like Valka unaware she was out there but he didn't know where so he was always searching for her.
The next morning after breakfast, Hiccup was leaving the house since his father was gone so was going into the forests hoping to see Toothless again, his dragon friend.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?
Yesh, where?" He heard voices ask.
He saw two girls, one with long blonde hair and the other with blond hair in a braid, Astrid and Ruffnut!
"Nowhere." Hiccup lied.
"Yeah right!
Why're you going to the forest?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup gulped because he liked her but ever since her uncle had been taken by a Frightmare, she had been really tough to the other kids especially him but blue f"lames scared the other kids making Hiccup amused.
He ran off after it, knowing it was Toothless but saw the Night Fury kid with his brothers impressing the boy.
"Oh Thor, I wish I had brothers, so I had somebody to play with when my Dad is away since he is mean sometimes." Hiccup told him as Toothless was rough housing with him as he was giggling but thanking him for scaring the other kids away, seeing a bigger Night Fury.
"He's your bigger brother, right?" Hiccup asked as Toothless nodded.
He saw the older male Night Fury in awe knowing his youngest brother liked this boy since they were the same plus while their mother was away, he was in charge until she got back.
He had told Toothless his friend could stay until their mother came home making Toothless happy but were getting an idea deciding to take the boy for a flight making Hiccup excited but scared seeing Toothless excited since he was learning to fly from their mother watching his big brother taking his friend for a flight, hearing Hiccup laughing.
Little did he know, one day he would be flying with a certain rider on his back but for now, he was happy to watch his brothers and mother fly while learning to fly seeing his big brother land as Hiccup got off hugging him.
"Did you see?
It was amazing!" Hiccup told him.
Toothless smiled but they heard kids as he didn't know the others had seen them hearing Toothless's big brother roar at them to hide.
"I guess you guys gotta go now, huh?" Hiccup said.
They left for now but Hiccup was still in awe after riding a dragon going back to the village as the other kids were astonished realising it was him they had seen on that dragon's back as Hiccup ran off because there was no way he was getting Toothless's family in trouble.
He saw Gobber there understanding since Stoick had asked him to look after his son while away.
