The Dream of Hiccup Haddock the III ~

As Hiccup went to bed that night, he started to wonder, how exatly did Jackson Overland die? 'did he get sick?' he thought, 'Or did he die by disease?' Hiccup wasn't quite sure. As Hiccup sliped into bed, he pulled out one of his faveorite books, 'Phantom of the Opera'. He just got to the part where the Phantom would take Cristine to his underground hideaway and the couple would start singing 'the Music of the Night'. This song was Hiccup's faveorite. Hiccup would picture himself in Cristine's shoes. And everytime he would wonder, if he had an angel or someone of his own watching over him. After some time of reading, Hiccup settled down into his bed to sleep.

~ Hiccup's dreamland ~

Hiccup opens his eyes. The sky is a baby blue and no clouds are in sight. The sun feels hot on his freckled face. The wind passes him by. Something wasn't right. Hiccup sits up and touches his head. 'When did I ever wear green hand gloves?' He thought as he stares at his hand in awe. He stands up and brushes the dust off his pants except... he wasn't wearing pants. 'Since when did I start wearing dark green dresses?' He thought as he fiddled with his cloths. Something odd was going on... was this all a prank? Was this some sort of joke? Hiccup expected someone to come from behind the trees laughing... but no one did. Was he dreaming? He decided to see where this was going. A little white dove flew by Hiccup and landed on his shoulder.

"Where did you come from little guy?" Hiccup asked the bird. The dove jumped off Hiccup's shoulder and flew between the trees. Hiccup ran after the dove. Hiccup ran after the bird for what seemed to be ages... was it him or was the forest getting longer? Hiccup started to hear voices. No. Just one voice. Calling for him. This was a male's voice calling his name. 'Hiccup... Hiccup...' it called for him. 'Hiccup... I need you... Hiccup...'. Taunted him. 'Hiccup... come and get me... you want me... you need me...'. Mocked him. He covered his ears as he ran; hoping that the noise would just go away. It didn't. It got louder. Louder. And louder still. Hiccup ran faster. Faster. And faster still. The voice just kept getting louder... it wouldn't stop. Hiccup could hear little chuckles, snickers, and laughs. Hiccup screamed. Then, the noises just stopped. Hiccup looked around... he was at another clearing. He saw the dove fly to a brunette haired boy and land on the boy's shoulder. "Thank you, thank you," the boy said to the bird, as if the flying creature had completed a quest. The boy turned his head and smiled warmly at Hiccup.

"I've been waiting for you..." the Boy said as he fully turned around.

"Y-you have?" Hiccup said tripping over his words.

The boy nodded.

Hiccup walked towards the boy, but the boy stopped him.

"Careful! You might step on them..."

Hiccup looked down. Three small light green winter roses were an inch in front of the bottom of his shoe.

"Did you plant these?" Hiccup questioned.

The boy nodded.

"You can pick them up... they're your's... " The boy said as he stood up. Hiccup knelt down and stared at the flowers in awe as he picked them out of ground one by one. "Are you sure I can take these?" Hiccup questioned. The boy smiled as he nodded. "Of course," he said, "I planted them for you." Hiccup was speechless. What was going on? What had just happened? He decided to let this keep going. "Why, did you plant these?" Hiccup questioned. "Because, you told me to..." The boy explained. Had he really told some stranger to grow him his favorite flower? Who was this boy? Why was he here? Where were they anyway? "Do you like them?" The boy asked. Hiccup hesitated. It took him a moment to think of an answer. "...yes," He finally said answering the boy's question. "I know you didn't actually tell me to plant the flowers for you," The boy explained. "Then why go through all that trouble?" Hiccup questioned. "I knew it would make you happy... and I want you to be happy," the boy said with delight in his eyes. Hiccup froze.' you barely know me... how do you want me to be happy' He thought. "Those were just the finishing touch... I do hope your pleased with them...my lady," The boy leaned down and kissed Hiccup's hand. Hiccup then slapped him out of surprise." How dare you," He said, " I'll have you know I am a boy not a girl! You are completely in need of manners! Cause calling a man a woman and a woman a man is complete disrespect. You have no right!" That second, Hiccup regretted his words. He saw the boy on the ground on his hands and knees, one hand covering his marked cheek. Hiccup reached out his hand to help the brunette up as he said, "I am so sorry..." He was cut off by seeing a tear of blood go down the brunette's pale face. The boy spoke up, " No... don't stop... keep beating me if it pleases you!" Was this boy insane? The boy spoke on, "Your right... I had no right to do that to you... I do need to learn my manners...and if the only way I can learn manners is by discipline then... continue in beating me! I have waited many years for you and now your here...I was honored by seeing you here, and I should of known that I would've been judged towards the work I've done and haven't yet done. My only company in your absence was the birds, the animals, the fish, even the bugs. But yet the only one I've wanted to see was you." Hiccup was shocked. Never had anyone said those words to him like that... it was almost magical. Still the brunette went on with his words,"Don't take pity in my speech, for I don't deserve it...for as long as I could remember, my goal was to do as you commanded. To watch over you. To protect you. I have waited fifteen long, hard and cold years, waiting the day you would come to see your land with your own eyes and tell me you were pleased with me. Nothing, means more to me then seeing you happy...forgive me... I have let you down." Hiccup didn't know what to say. A tear fell from his cheek . The boy noticed, and wiped it away. Hiccup tried to hold them in, yet... the flood gates burst open as he threw his arms around the boy's neck and kissed his lips passionately. "What is this for?" The brunette questioned as their lips parted. Hiccup hesitated then smiled as he answered the brunette, "You may not realize it... but, I like guys with a sensitive side and what you have done could not make me any happier then I already am..." The brunette boy smiled as their lips cascade each over again. Once Hiccup was safely wrapped in the other's pale arms, he didn't want to leave. He finally found the one person who would sacrifice everything for him. Even if he was dreaming; Hiccup was determined to not let the other boy go... not just yet. ~
