It's ok, i'm not really shipping anyone in this. Well that's awesome! New idea, did think that would happen! :D
They had no training the next day, Gobber being too busy with the returned raid and Stoic to teach. Hiccup walked out of his house shortly after sunup. Hoping to spend a little time with Toothless, when a blond headed, Shield Maiden filled his eye sight—however, anything but unpleasant. "Astrid! What are you doing here?"
She handed him Snotlout's helmet, "You said to get this."
He blinked at it. She actually got it. What do I mean she actually got it? Of course she did, she's Astrid. "Right!" He took the helmet but she still stood there, "Am I forgetting something?"
"Shouldn't we be having breakfast together, Hic?"
"Hic-?" It dawned on him, "Oh! Yeah, of course M'lady. I'll meet you there after I hide the helmet."
Astrid nodded and walked off, Hiccup blushing a deep red as he quickly walked into the woods and to the cove. Toothless met him at the entrance with an excited lick, "Hey bud!" Hiccup gave his head a hug.
Walking over to the little alcove he placed the helmet with the other helmet and axe. Toothless looked at Hiccup excitedly, tongue hanging out and hopped around. Hiccup laughed, "Not this morning bud, I have to get back to the village." Toothless looked down, unhappy. "Sorry, I'd like to stay here too…at least have something nice going on today." He mumbled, thinking of Astrid.
He arrived at the Great Hall and grabbed a plate of food before finding Astrid and sitting next to her. Gods this feels weird. She smiled warmly at him and he almost couldn't tell that it was an act.
Fishlegs looked at the usual table he sat at with Hiccup but didn't see him. Is he with Toothless? Looking around just to check…he found him sitting next to Astrid and she—smiled at him? Curious now, he walked over, "Hey Hiccup?"
"Fishlegs! Hi."
Fishlegs sat across from Hiccup and Astrid nodded politely. "What are you doing over here?"
"Sitting with Astrid." Hiccup said nonchalantly.
"Uhm…?" Fishlegs tried.
Astrid opened her mouth to say something when a commotion at the doors caught their attention. Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut entered. And Snotlout was steaming. Tuffnut grinned, "Dude, what has you so stoked?"
Snotlout pointed to his head, "What do you think?! I'm a warrior without his helmet! Whoever this guy is that's stealing my stuff had better start running to Valhalla before I catch him! He even took my spare! How did he know I even had a spare?!"
Tuffnut blinked, "Wait, you have a spare helmet?"
"I did!" Snotlout barked.
"That's ingenious!" He turned to Ruffnut, "Why don't we have spare helmets?"
She shrugged before asking, "Who do you know he's not a she?"
He glared at her, "You didn't do it did you?"
Ruffnut scoffed, "No, but I'd like to meet the person who did!"
Tuffnut grinned, "You don't think, could it be that Loki himself is doing this?"
Ruffnut nodded in thought, "It could be, I mean, this is very well planned out. Just like the great Trickster to do it."
"Oh please, give me a-" He stopped as he looked over where Astrid sat…along with Hiccup and Fishlegs. He glared for a half second before walking over and smiling at Astrid, "Hey babe, this fishbone isn't bothering you is he? If he is I can easily move him."
Hiccup glared at him while Astrid snapped back, "If he was I could move myself easily enough. And no, he's not bothering me."
She smiled and Snotlout's brow crossed, confused.
Hiccup placed a hand on her shoulder, careful to keep it only on her shoulder—no need to risk her wrath later. "Haven't you heard Snotlout? Astrid's with me now."
Ruffnut gaped and Snotlout snarled, "What? How are you with him, him out of all people—especially when you have me!?"
Astrid made a thinking motion, "Let me think. He's smart," Not annoying, "And doing much better than you at Dragon Training."
"No he's not! He's just running away!"
Astrid shook her head, "That's not what I recall. He's taken down the Terrible Terror, Zippleback, Gronkle, even the Deadly Nadder. All a one point or another. I'm the only other one who's done that."
Snotlout grew red as a tomato, if they knew what those were, "If that's all it then I can easily do that."
Tuffnut laughed and pointed, "Oh my! It really is Loki! He's even pulled Astrid and Hiccup into it! Ahha! Oh this is great, if only I had a way to somehow keep this moment forever!"
Snotlout rolled his eyes and glared at Hiccup, "I don't believe you. There's no way Astrid would ever be with you!"
Astrid snapped, really mad now. Why couldn't she be with Hiccup is she chose. Sure this was just an act but in all reality she wanted Snotlout even less than she did Hiccup. Though as of this moment she would rather just stay a Valkyrie and not be with anyone. Fuming, she quickly turned, grabbed Hiccup and pulled him into a kiss.
They all sat or stood there, dumbfounded. Especially Hiccup. After a moment they broke apart, Snotlout standing there like a fish out of water and beet red. After a moment he turned and stormed away.
Astrid and Hiccup left the hall shortly after. They walked through the village together, however neither saying much, before Astrid suddenly punched Hiccup in the shoulder, "What was that for!?" Hiccup cried.
"For making me kiss you!"
Hiccup blinked, "But I didn't-"
"It still came to that!" Astrid snapped, "I better go train for tomorrow."
She left without another word or second look.
Hiccup walked through the woods to the cove in a sort of daze, Astrid kiss him. Astrid kissed him! Even if it had just been in show it had to have been the second happiest moment in his life. The first was his first actual flight with Toothless.
Hiccup arrived at the cove and sat for a little while with Toothless until a few pebbles tumbled out of the opening. Hiccup looked up, alert and ready, when Ruffnut appeared, but no Fishlegs or Tuffnut in sight. "Hey Ruff. Uh, where's Tuff?"
"With Snotlout at the moment."
"Oh." Hiccup nodded.
Ruffnut glared heated, "Ok, what was with you and Astrid this morning?"
"W-what do you mean?"
"I know you're not actually dating Astrid. So what is it?"
Hiccup held a flat look, "How do you know I'm not dating her?"
"Because she's not dating anyone." Ruffnut answered. They both stared at each other for a moment in silence before she caught sight of the alcove behind Hiccup, "Is that Snotlout's axe and helmets?"
Hiccup paled slightly before he sighed, "Ok, don't tell anyone—and I mean anyone, not even Tuffnut—about this…or else Astrid would probably kill me."
Ruffnut's eyes light up, "You two are Loki-ing Snotlout, aren't you!"
Hiccup nodded, "It was Astrid's idea, she's tired of him. So I came up with a few things to try and help…"
Ruffnut grinned, "And that's why she kissed you!"
Hiccup smiled, "Well that was a bit unexpected."
Ruffnut punched Hiccup in the arm, "You are brilliant!"
"What is it with women and violence?" Hiccup asked, rubbing his arm. Ruffnut shrugged, "So why did you care so much about me and Astrid?"
"No reason." Ruffnut said quickly. "I better get back to Tuffnut before he realizes I'm gone." She ran towards the entrance and turned to Hiccup, a sly smile gracing her, "Don't worry, I won't tell him. It's fun to watch Snotlout writher like this."
"Leaving!" Hiccup yelled into the cove. He wanted to leave before Fishlegs or the twins got wind of what he was planning and tried to talk him out of it. "We're leaving. Let's pack up, looks like you and me are taking a little vacation…forever." He set the basket down and opened the lid to check it, "Oh man…"
He started to stand when he heard the sound of rock on metal. He jumped back, seeing Astrid, "Ah! What the-?!" Composing himself and taking a quick check of the cove he said, "Uh-hu, w-what are you doing here?"
"I wanna know what's going on. No one just gets as good as you do. Especially you." Hiccup continued to walk backwards and Astrid kept following, "Start talking."
"Uh-I-I…uh…"
"Are you training with someone?"
"Uh, training?"
"It better not involve this!" She grabbed the harness. "You know, I really hope this is some kind of prank."
"I know this looks really bad but-"
She threw him to the ground and stepped over him as a tree bending or breaking could be heard from not far away. "You're right! You're right! I'm-I'm through with the lies. This is just a really big prank I'm playing. So, you got me. It's time everyone knew, drag me back, here we go."
She twisted his hand and he ended up on the ground, again. "OW! Why would you do that?"
She pushed him down harshly with her foot, "That's for the lies." Then dropped her axe butt on his stomach, "And that's, for everything else."
"You do realize I serve a god know for lying?" Hiccup wheezed. Toothless suddenly growled and Hiccup paled, "Oh man."
Astrid saw him and her eyes went wide, "Get down!"
She pushed him to the floor before getting up and brandishing her axe. "Run, run!"
Hiccup jumped and grabbed her axe, ripping it away and throwing as far as he could, "No! It's ok! It's ok. She's a friend."
Toothless calmed down enough to fold his wings back slightly and stand on all fours. Hiccup kept himself between them. Toothless pressed forward and Hiccup held his head, trying to keep some distance between him and Astrid. "It's ok, you just scared him."
"I scared him?" She stopped, wide eyed, "Who is him?"
Hiccup smiled nervously, "Uh, Astrid—Toothless. Toothless—Astrid."
Toothless just growled at her and she just shook her head, running away towards the exit.
"Du-da-duh, we're dead." Toothless turned, pleased now that she was gone. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where do you think you're going? We've got to stop her."
Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut came running into the cove, just in time to see Toothless shoot into the sky with a screaming Astrid—although they could barely heard that. Tuffnut gaped, "She gets a ride but I never did? How unfair is that?!"
Ruffnut didn't say anything but scowled at the receding form of said blonde.
They came back a while later, Astrid talking quickly—not noticing the others. "No, no, it makes sense. It's like a giant beehive. They're the workers and that's their queen!"
Fishlegs blinked…Astrid wasn't trying to kill Toothless. Apparently Tuffnut was having the same thoughts, "Uh, what happened?"
"We have to tell Stoic!"
Astrid turned to leave but Hiccup caught her hand, "No! Astrid, they'll kill Toothless."
"You want to keep this a secret, so you can protect your pet dragon?!"
Hiccup stood firmly, not about to move, "Yes."
Astrid sighed, defeated. "Fine, them what do we do?"
"Just give me until tomorrow."
Astrid looked at the trio behind them. "What are they doing here?"
Ruffnut smiled, "Hey Astrid."
Tuffnut grinned, "We helped Hiccup searched for Toothless after he shot him down."
Fishlegs said nervously, "We've known for a while."
Hiccup laughed slightly, "Look, all the teens know except Snotlout."
Ruffnut grinned, "Should we give him back his axe and helmet yet?"
"What? That was you!?" Fishlegs yelled, looking at Hiccup.
Hiccup shrugged, looking at Astrid, and grinned, "Yeah…"
Hiccup was thrown into the Great Hall, the village having just found out about Toothless—who protected Hiccup from the Nightmare. Stoic glared at his son, feeling betrayed. "I should have known, I should have seen the signs."
"Dad?"
"We had a deal!"
"I know but-but that was before I—o' it's all so messed up." Hiccup ran his figures through his hair.
"What was that in the ring? A trick? This has to be the worst Loki-ing Berk has ever seen."
"Alright I might have taken this a little far but you can't blame me for doing so!"
"And why not!?" Stoic thundered.
"Because I'm just doing what I'm supposed to, serving Loki."
"This isn't about him right now!"
"Yes it is!" Hiccup shot back, face hard yet scared, "I'm supposed to Loki people and what better way than to make peace with the dragons!"
"There can be no peace between us and them!"
"Why not?! Toothless hasn't hurt me or anyone else! If anything he's protected us, and me especially! I would have been killed in the ring today if it wasn't for him!"
"You named the dragon!? And what do you mean us?"
"Yes, I named him. Dad, if you could just see what he's actually like you see that he's actually really gentle and friendly."
"You're talking about it like he's something to be loved! They've killed hundreds of us! And one nearly killed you in the ring just now because of these-these tricks!"
"The Nightmare was fine until you slammed your hammer down on the railing and startled it, of course he snapped! But dad, we've also killed thousands of them, they defend themselves—that's all!"
Stoic started walking in a frustrated line, taking two steps before turning and repeating, "Hiccup this is treason to your own kind."
"I'm trying to help! You said it yourself—they've killed hundreds of us."
"So you finally started listening have you?!"
Hiccup glared, "But that's only because the war! They defend themselves, if they don't bring food back then they'll get eaten themselves. Dad, you've got to try and understand."
Stoic looked at Hiccup, a new light in his eyes. "How do you know that? Have you been to the nest?!"
"Yes! Alright, I have and believe me when I say that the dragon they have to feed is a demon straight from Helheim!"
"How did you find it!?"
"I didn't, Toothless did."
Stoic straightened and looked harshly at his son, "Get back to the house, we'll continue this when I get back."
"Oh, no—no! Dad! No, it's not what you think it is. You don't know what you're up against!"
"I may not but it's my duty to rid my people of this menace or die trying."
Hiccup paled, "Dad please! For once in your life would you please just listen to me?!"
"I am son." He paused for a moment, his glare harsh, "You should be thanking Loki, because of your betrayal we know where the nest is."
Hiccup fought back the pain at those words, "Dad—I promise you, you can't win this one!"
Stoic growled before he turned to walk out, "Get back to the house before I have you thrown in the prison." He walked out and yelled, "Ready the ships!"
Hiccup walked out, and found people already readying the ships. The twins and Fishlegs found him watching from the catwalks. His heart broke at seeing Toothless harshly chained and imprisoned, "Toothless!" He cried softly, Fishlegs restraining him from running down.
They watched them sail until they were out of sight. Astrid joined them a little while later, "It's a mess, you must feel horrible."
Fishlegs glared at her as Hiccup answered. "Thank you, as if I didn't know that already."
Tuffnut nodded, "Yeah, that was obvious."
"Even to us." Ruffnut finished.
Hiccup sighed, "Why does Loki have to do this? I finally begin to have an enjoyable life then I go off and do something stupid."
Tuffnut shrugged, "Hey, it's all a part of the fun. And you still have us!"
"Yeah!" Ruffnut threw an arm around him and Astrid glared at her, which she returned, "Once a Loki-follower, always a Loki-follower."
Hiccup shook his head, "It's more than just that guys. My dad has Toothless and is sailing to his death! And I don't know what to do! Oh Loki this is so messed up!" He finished, hands gripping head as he sighed and looked down.
"So what are you going to do about it?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup bounced his head from one side to another as he thought for a moment, "Loki that dragon hard before the village gets killed. Come on, I'll need all of you."
He ran back towards the village, the others following.
He entered the arena and released the dragons contained within. He heard the others enter and turned to meet them. Snotlout came up to him, "Tuffnut said you were going to Loki a dragon and needed my help."
Hiccup looked at Tuffnut and he shrugged, "We'll you said 'I need all of you', so a little more muscle couldn't hurt."
Hiccup nodded, "Alright then." He led out the Monstrous Nightmare towards Snotlout, who looked beyond nervous. Hiccup reached for his hand but he yanked it back, "It's ok, trust me." Snotlout was apprehensive but a moment later placed his hand on the snout of the Nightmare and it purred quietly.
Hiccup grinned and walked away, "Hold on. Where are you going! This had better not be a Loki because if I lose a hand to this-!"
Hiccup pulled some rope out of the weapons box, "You'll need something to hold on with." He smiled. He then began showing the others to their dragons.
Hiccup woke up, head foggy. A black snout greeted his view, "Hey Toothless."
Toothless started nudging and liking him excitedly, "I'm happy to see you too bud."
He moved and Toothless accidentally stepped on his stomach, he sat up instantly with a small cry and looked around, scared. "Uh, I'm in my house…you're in my house. Does my dad know you're here?" Toothless jumped around excitedly, nocking several items over and came back to lick Hiccup again, "Ok! Ok. No—no! Toothless!" Toothless had climbed up into the rafters, "Oh come on…"
He stopped suddenly, something feeling very off. He looked down and removed the blanket, his breath hitching as his mind reeled to comprehend what had happened. Toothless dropped down and walked slowly over to Hiccup, nuzzling him gently.
He drew in a determined breath and swung his legs off the bed and slowly stood with a painful grunt. Toothless sniffed the new prosthetic before looking up to Hiccup, understandingly. He went to take a step, and took another but fell—unused to the missing foot—Toothless catching him. "Thanks bud."
He helped him across the room to the door. He opened it only for a Monstrous Nightmare to fill the door. Hiccup slammed the door shut again and turned to Toothless, "Stay here bud."
"Come on guys, get ready!" Snotlout yelled. "Here we go!"
Hiccup watched them for a moment before walking out. Dragons were, everywhere. "I knew it, I'm dead!"
He heard a familiar laugh, his father, "No, but you gave it yer best shot. So what do you think?"
Hiccup blinked, "Are you serving Loki now too…or did the twins get you to do this?"
Stoic smiled, "No to both."
"Look, it's Hiccup!" Someone yelled and several Vikings surrounded them.
Stoic turned to Hiccup, "Turns out all we needed was Loki's chosen."
Hiccup swallowed thickly before Gobber butted in and pointed to Hiccup's left leg, "Well, except that bit, that's my handiwork. With a little Hiccup-flare—think it'll do?"
Hiccup looked at it, "I might make a few tweaks."
The gathered Vikings laughed before the teens came up. Ruffnut grinned, "He lives!"
Tuffnut nodded, "Dang it! I was betting on two weeks."
"Ha-ha, now you get to do my chores for a week." Ruffnut grinned.
"Hiccup!" Fishlegs cried, giving him a hug.
Gobber handed him a newly made prosthetic and saddle for Toothless. "Welcome home."
Toothless jumped over and several Vikings cried out in habit, "Night Fury!" "Get down!"
Hiccup laughed and put on the saddle and prosthetic. "Ready?" Toothless leapt into the air and Hiccup grinned.
Ok so done! Haha! I am labeling this as 'complete' but there is a potential of future chapters if you have a specific episode in mind that you would like me to do with this spin on it, such as-i was considering doing 'Reign of Fireworms' because i feel like the twins gave Snotlout a better position because they were friends before hand and so them being friends with Hiccup and Hiccup also being a Loki follower i think it could turn out different. But i'm not sure if i'll do that it's just a possibility :)
So if you want something like that to happen tell me the episode. Well, that's all folks!
