This chapter may bore you and get you excited. I tried to explain something bit I'm not expert in English 8]

Also, there is something I want to tell you, readers.Review section is for "reviewing" the story. It is not for asking for updates. Asking questions and commenting about how the story is going are acceptable, because I'm going to reply to the reviews, anyway. But these "Please update" don't help anything at all. Some people may think that the story is so exciting that the readers want updates.

BUT NO, IT IS NOT LIKE THAT.

"Please Update" is just a sentence that show how interested you are with the story, but many people have different interests and it barely helps.

Plus, it is demotivating me to see a review pops up and it happens to be just a "Please Update".

So readers, if you have nothing to review, please don't write anything like that.

Warning : lots of conversation.

"I was really relieved when the doctor said that you were fine" Hiccup said as Toothless grinned.

"It must take more than that to kill me!" Toothless boomed with pride and self-confidence. "I was freaking out, you know? When you ran out. All I was thinking was that I had to protect you"

"You just went through a dead or alive situation, yesterday. And you are still lovey dovey?" Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"For my boyfriend. I can be everything!"

"We're not boyfriends" Hiccup said bitterly.

Gobber cleared his throat "Even though, there are only you two in my class. Please don't talk while I'm teaching a lesson here" Gobber said and turned his attention back to the whiteboard.

Today was an uneventful day in Berk High. But Hiccup's home was full of scientists and reporters right now. He was lucky that he decided to come to school, even if a few people came here. People in Berk were afraid to come out of their houses ever since yesterday. The town was shocked, and the news of the Dragon and the 'Hybrid' spread fast. Hiccup was actually astounded when there was no video of him fighting the Dragon on any social medias.

He just wished that he could go home and started researching on the Dragon World. Most of his classes were cancelled due to the news, and he was fortunate that Gobber came to school today. He would be bored to death if he stayed in Berk High with nothing to do. He talked to Gobber about casual things for a while after taking lunch. Toothless said that he had to practice FUTSAL in the afternoon.

"So, you were there when the dragon appeared out of nowhere. And you want to do a research?" Gobber trailed off. Hiccup nodded along.

"But the scientists are going to visit my house... Like, everyday from now on" Hiccup said, irritated. "They even ate all the cereal! Saying that they were in hurry to come to my house that they didn't have breakfast! That was the rudest thing I've ever seen!"

"Want me to tag along to the mart?" Gobber offered.

"Yes, please" Hiccup said and reached for a cup of milkshake on Gobber's table. He had been sitting in Gobber's office for a while now. 2 hours maybe?

"So, I've heard that you have gone to the cinema with your buddy" Gobber said as he scrolled through his feeds on facebook, seeing pictures of Hiccup and Toothless walking with each other.

"Yeah, the film was really scary. All the gores and body horrors are still fresh in my head" Hiccup grumbled "Now that you mention it. I started to see the pictures again!" Then he pouted "Too bad, I didn't have a chance to watch Smurf"

"Why do you act all cuties if you don't want to be Toothless's boyfriend?" Gobber asked bluntly.

"Watching Smurf doesn't mean I'm cute!" Hiccup retorted. "And I didn't say I don't want to be Toothless's boyfriend. He just deserved a lot more than me. I'm not worth his love" Hiccup put the cup back on the table.

"Why do you think you are not worth him?" Gobber asked.

"I'm a weakling. I don't have strength to protect myself or anything like that. I have to have Toothless protecting me all the time because some perverts think I'm cute and want to own me like I'm their doll or something" Hiccup said, crossing one of his arms to his chest as he fiddled his thump on his phone.

"You know what? This is 3 PM, now. And I'm free all day, because many students didn't come to my school and some of them think that my class does not give them anything useful. So why don't we go to the mart, now?" Gobber said, putting his things into his case. His high-tech prosthetic hand grabbed this and that. "I have to go to your father's lab too. Stoick won't be able to keep them safe, in case someone tries to open the portal"

That was what Hiccup was afraid of. Someome might opened the portal and some dragon's could possibly hurt them!

"Alright. Shop real quick. And then we go straight to my house. I'm starting to get worried about our house" Hiccup said and they got out of the office.

As they walked along the footpath to their destination, there followed the awkward silence. Hiccup was deep in his anxiety. Gobber was wondering why Hiccup was interested in Dragons out of blue. "Hiccup, I have not asked this earlier, but why are you taking an interest in Dragons, now?" Gobber asked, breaking the silence and Hiccup's trance.

"Oh? I.. am just curious, you know?" Hiccup replied.

"Yeah, but you didn't believe these creatures exist" Gobber said.

"Well, I didn't" Hiccup said "But Now, I do"

"And...why?" Gobber asked again.

"Well, I believe when I see one. That's simple" Hiccup said, shrugging "And you know me and my habits"

"Do I?" Gobber chuckled.

Hiccup didn't shot any sarcasm or joke back. He kept quiet as he fell back to his trance again. "Is something bothering you?" Of course, this didn't go unnoticed by Gobber. "You know you can tell me anything, right? I'm your godfather"

"Gobber, it is really personal thing" Hiccup said. The boy had blush on his cheeks.

"Is it Toothless?" Gobber raised a brow.

"Maybe" Hiccup sighed.

"Ask him out already" Gobber said and rolled his eyes. "It's not like your father is going to kill you, anyway. I like men too, and he is fine with that"

"I am not thinking about my love life. I'm think about my personal things and how easily Toothless could find out" Hiccup retorted.

"Are you going to tell him 'bout those?" Gobber asked and Hiccup's phone rang.

"Not sure" Hiccup replied and reached into his pocket and bring out his phone to see that Toothless was calling him. Hiccup looked at Gobber for a permission and the teacher gave him a 'go on' look.

Hiccup put the phone to his ear "Toothless?"

"Hiccup... Um... You happen to see my father?" Toothless asked "He wasn't at home last night. I thought he overworked or had to stay at his office, but I haven't seen him at home yet" His voice was filled with anxiety and stress.

Hiccup frowned "Are you at home?"

"Yeah, my coach got a family issue during the practice, so he decided that we had done well enough for today" Toothless replied.

"Have you checked everything?" Hiccup asked.

"I did. His yesterday suit is not in the laundry. His office shoes aren't here" Toothless said "I'm freaking out right now!"

"Have you called the cops?" Hiccup said, getting worried. "The office your dad works for? Your relatives?"

"Yes I have. The answers are the same" Toothless replied. "I haven't called the police yet. I'm wondering if he is at your house, doing a research with those people you talked about"

By the time Toothless had replied, Hiccup and Gobber had already arrived at the mart. Gobber picked up a shopping basket and followed Hiccup. "I'll see if he happen to be at my house, okay?" Hiccup said, putting four boxes of cereal in the basket.

"Okay"

Hiccup sighed as Toothless cut the line for him before putting the phone back into his pocket "Mr.Fury didn't go home last night" Hiccup said as he picked up a gallon of milk.

"Me and Stoick's old pal" Gobber said, chuckling "Now that I think about it. Is it not weird that you like the son of a man that I used to like?"

Hiccup got what he needed and they were at the counter. The cashier looked a little bit interested in their conversation as she slowly did her job "I... don't know how to feel about that" Hiccup said, dumbfounded. "But.. I don't see him around very much"

"Drake Fury is a good guy" Gobber said. "But sadly, he shut himself away when his wife died"

"I didn't know..." Hiccup said "How did his wife die?"

"She was murdered" Gobber replied, his face darkened with sadness "By..." Gobber looked at the cashier who looked at them with excitement.

Hiccup looked at the cost he had to pay on the screen and put the exact amount of kidney on the counter before getting out of the mart with his things. Gobber followed him and whispered into his ears.

"A dragon"

Hiccup bit his bottom lip "So you knew that dragons existed" He said.

"I did... even before her death" Gobber sighed "You see, Stoick, Drake and I are lab buddies. We have the same ambition. To research on dragons. At first, we didn't have much afford from the college, but then Drake revealed about his family's wealth and decided to put that money on our experiment. Apparently, the portal worked"

"No wonder why it took only a month to finish my dad's portal" Hiccup commented.

"But the entrance was not of a human size at that time. We accidentally left it opened on Drake's anniversary with his wife" Gobber said. "And unfortunately, that day was our graduation day too"

"Wow, you guys really married at young age" Hiccup said, thinking back to the time his father complained about how fast kids these days already and lovers.

"A dragon must have come through the portal... It... you know about the fire right?" Gobber said.

Hiccup nodded "Dad told me about your college. Actually, it is going to open as a new college this year" He said.

"It was the dragon" Gobber said. His voice sounded pained.

"We decided to keep it as a secret. Drake started shutting himself and we lost touch" Gobber said.

Hiccup frowned "But... Toothless.."

"I don't really know about that boy" Gobber admitted "He just... came into Berk High with Drake. At that time, I was shocked to see Drake and I was shocked even more when he claimed that the boy was his own son, biological son"

"Maybe he had an affair with a woman?" Hiccup guessed "Toothless told me that he didn't know who his mother was. And long time ago, when I went to Toothless's house. I didn't see any women that seemed to be Mr.Fury's wife. I mean... The maids were not that young..."

"Drake is not that kind of a guy to hook up with some random women. But, maybe you're right. Time changes people" Gobber said.

By the time they finished talking, they finally arrived at Hiccup's house. Hiccup opened the door and led Gobber inside. "WHAT THE HELL?!" He exclaimed as he saw that the living room was full of pizza boxes.

"Damn, what a mess" Gobber muttered.

"Dad!!" Hiccup yelled angrily as he stepped toward the lab door that was currently closed before pressing the password of the door, then he went in to find many people grouped in different corners of the room, probably researching something.

He spotted Stoick in front of the portal with a person who could possibly be Drake Fury. Approaching them, he couldn't help but rudely interrupted their conversation "Excuse me, but you guys made a mess in the living room, tell these people to be responsible or I'll have to force them out of this house, including you, dad" said the boy.

Stoick seemed to be a little shocked and startled at the same time. "Uh... Alright, I'll tell them when we take a break" Stoick responded before motioned his hand to the guy beside him "Do you remember Drake Fury?"

"Mr.Fury" Hiccup turned to Drake before speaking up "Your son told me that you didn't go home last night. You should do that tonight, because Tanlos would probably freak out and call the police"

The man looked at Hiccup with panic in his eyes "Hatches..."

Hiccup eyes the man as he spoke. Drake Fury looked restless and stressful, which was reasonable, because the guy obviously didn't have any sleep. In those eyes, he saw something that spelled N-E-R-V-O-U-S. Maybe, seeing the portal made him thought back to his wife's death and he was worried if some dragons would come out and destroy his life again, which made sense. But those eyes seemed to hold something more than just worries... Hiccup was not sure if those were protectiveness.

The man nodded shortly in response.

"Are you okay, Mr.Fury?" Hiccup asked bluntly.

Before Drake could respond to Hiccup's question, a certain godfather of Hiccup spoke up as he approached them "Aye, what do we have here?" Gobber said as he looked at his ex-crush. "Drake! Glad to meet you here!"

"Yeah...me too" Replied the monotone emotionless voice.

"Anyway, how much did I miss?" Gobber asked Hiccup's father.

"Much, but not too much to learn" Stoick said, and then his voice turned quieter "I have dead frozen dragon in the next room. I haven't allow anyone in, except Drake. He was...is kind of freaking out" Stoick gave Drake a pity look.

"I'm going to my room, and don't forget to clean up the living room" Hiccup excused himself before things got too dramatic. He immediately went to his room and locked it.

Hiccup dropped his bag on the bed before sitting on a chair beside his desk and opened his laptop. He immediately entered facebook and told Toothless about his father.

"Your dad is here. He seemed to be freaking out about the fact that my dad have a dead frozen dragon" Hiccup laid his chin on his hand as he spoke through the mic, his facecam was closed while Toothless's was on.

"Your dad what!?" Shock was plastered all over Toothless's face as he heard that.

"You heard me"

"Well, damn... How is he, now? Other than freaking out" Toothless's voice was coated with anxiety.

"Nervous, worried and he looks restless, I doubt if he had a single sleep at all since yesterday" Hiccup replied.

"He had a rather tragic loss" Toothless said.

"I know, his wife was murdered. Gobber told me" Hiccup said.

"And I never know my mom" Toothless spoke in a sad voice.

"That, I haven't known" Hiccup was surprised that Toothless never knew his mother. Because the guy never mentioned about his mother at all and he thought that Toothless may not wanted other people know of his mother.

"It's really confusing" Toothless said "Dad told me that he and I were biological. But I couldn't be the son of his murdered wife, could I?"

"No... You would already be in a college if you were" Hiccup said in agreement.

"He never speaks about my mother" Toothless complained.

"I don't know why you bring this up but I'm willing to listen" Hiccup sighed.

"I asked, and he said that it was not necessary" Toothless said "He said that I was never adopted, that I was biological to him"

"Well.. Some adopted parents tend to do that-"

"No, just listen to me okay?" Toothless said sternly "When I was younger, he brought me to the hospital to have a DNA test. I was truly his son. But what I did not and still do not understand is that my mother was unidentifiable"

"..." Hiccup hummed while he was paying attention to what Toothless was telling him.

"I'm wondering if I'm a clone of him" Toothless said.

Hiccup pfft-ed at that statement "Toothless, cloning in human is illegal and according to what Gobber has told me, your dad was a dragon-expert just like my dad" Hiccup said. "Anyway, you live with him since the day you were born. I believe you have to get some clues from his PRIVACIES"

"Well, I've never invaded his privacy, his room, his study or anything!" Toothless said.

"Then... now, Toothless my friend, is a good time to do that" His lips tugged into a mischievous smirk.

"He's very strict about that" Toothless retorted.

"He'll learn to forgive you" Hiccup went on.

"What if the maids see me and tell him" Toothless whispered.

"You have to be sneaky" Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"But what if he has a security alarm or something?"

"Seriously, who would put an alert in his room?"

"I can never do that"

"You want to know about your mother or not?" Hiccup spoke out of annoyance and irritation.

A series of knocking of Hiccup's door made the dragon boy jumped out of his chair. He turned to Toothless and put a finger on his lips before tilting the screen shut. He approached the door and opened it to find Drake Fury "Mr.Fury?"

"Hatches, may I speak with you?" Drake said.

"Uh.." Hiccup swallowed, my freaking Loki, he knows "Yes, sir. We can have this conversation inside"

Hiccup let the man into his room before closing it. Drake sat on his bed before speaking up "Hope you don't mind me sitting, this old man had a rough day" Drake chuckled. Hiccup sat at his chair.

"Mr.Fury, if this conversation is about Toothless-"

"Yeah, yeah, it's about my son..." Drake suddenly spoke up, interrupting Hiccup.

There was a long silence as they stared into each other's eyes. If eyes starring could make a person pregnant, Hiccup was sure that his father would never appreciate it "Well?" Hiccup finally destroyed the silence.

"I need you to stay away from my son"

Hiccup frowned "Why?"

"You see, Stoick and Gobber had created a portal to Dragon World" Drake said. Hiccup could only nodded in response. "And somehow, there was a Dragon coming out to destroy"

"Your sons injuries weren't severe" Hiccup said. Also, he noticed the eyes avoiding as the man spoke.

"What I am trying to say is that they are not responsible enough for this job" Drake stated.

"I never think they are, nor anyone. Human never fights Dragons, anyway" Hiccup shrugged "But I still don't get how a dragon came into this world"

"But I get how" Drake said, catching Hiccup's attention "I have studied this for a while now, and my hypothesis was right. There are these mysterious energies in each worlds. It links the worlds to together, in order to keep the system stable"

"Like Yggdrasil?" Hiccup said.

Drake nodded "But, these energies are unstable. You may see that the location of Stoick's portal keeps changing, right?"

Hiccup nodded as a yes.

"Except for Human World, it's stable now" Drake said "Our kind are not supposed to know anything about this, we didn't have any access to that energy. But now, with high-technology, we can connect to the nearest world, which happens to be Dragon World. And the same to the Dragon World, they don't have any access to our world, but now that we built portal, most of the power gathers around the portal's area"

"So.. You are saying that, our kind has doomed ourselves by building a portal, which has gathered most of this whatever-energies" Hiccup said and Drake nodded. "And how large does this energy-area take?"

"Do you not understand? It's a mysterious energy, it's complex" Drake said "Random portals are going to appear in this area, and I don't want Toothless to be in danger"

"I know about your wife" —Drake's shoulders twitched at that— "And I understand that you want to keep Toothless safe. Even if he's your adopted son"

"Toothless is not adopted!" Drake snapped at Hiccup. Hiccup kept his face straight, but he felt like smirking in victory.

"Then how do you have him when you don't even have a wife?" Hiccup asked.

"It's...complicated" Drake replied.

"Is he your clone?"

"Hel no!" Drake exclaimed.

"Alright, it's okay if you don't tell me" Hiccup said in a gentle tone "But, Toothless is not okay if you don't tell him about his mother"

"What's with you and my son?" Drake asked out of annoyance.

"Me and your son?" Hiccup bit his lips "He says that I'm his soon-to-be boyfriend"

"Is that even exist?"

"I don't know. But you have to tell him about his mother. He's desperated, you know?" Hiccup said.

"Shut up! You don't have any right to say that. You have to stay away from him, and that's it" Drake stood up and stomped to the door.

"Why do you need me to stay away from him? It's not like he often comes to my house" Hiccup asked, unphased "I can help you with anything, Mr.Fury. You can tell me about Tanlos"

"Really?" Drake asked.

"Really" Hiccup nodded.

"Will you protect my son?" Drake was crossing his arms, now.

"Of course. I kinda have a thing for him" Hiccup said, blushing.

"And you said you were his soon-to-be boyfriend" Drake narrowed his eyes "I thought this was a one-sided"

"He said, but I didn't" Hiccup said, shrugged "I don't think I deserve him"

"Why do you think you do not deserve him?" Drake leaned against the door. Hiccup noticed something weird as he saw the frown on Drake's face.

"Well, first, he is your son. Second, you are probably protective of him. Third, I'm just a weakling who can't even protect himself from social-popularity" Hiccup said.

"Your reasons don't make sense. There are more, aren't there. You are hiding something from my son" Drake said.

"In order to protect your son, Mr.Fury" Hiccup hoped that Toothless wouldn't mind him about that.

"Are the dragons after you?"

Hiccup frowned at the question "No, sir. Why do you think about that?" Hiccup was getting suspicious of this guy.

"Nothing..." Drake then opened the door and went out quickly.

Hiccup turned to his laptop and tilt the screen up. He saw Toothless's frowning face "Hiccup, I don't want to be with anyone else. I want to be with you" The guy said "You can tell me anything, alright? You don't have to hide. You don't have to protect me"

Hiccup sighed "Something should stay hidden, Toothless"

"No, you have to tell me what it is, NOW" Toothless kept pushing "I'm not okay without knowing anything I should know"

"Mr.Fury was right. I should stay away from you, from now on" Hiccup said "To protect you"

"Hiccup?" Toothless's face was full of emotional pain. Hiccup felt his heart broke at the sight.

"I have no choice Toothless" Hiccup said "I'm too dangerous to be in your life" His hand reach for the pad on his laptop and end the call.

Hiccup slumped on his desk, feeling awful. Being a half human half dragon was too dangerous for Toothless. He didn't want Toothless to be in danger because of him.

And what Drake Fury had said was suspicious. Why would he need to stay away from Toothless if the portals would randomly appear?

Are the dragons after him?

Hiccup was wondering if he was some kind of portal-magnet himself. Was that why Mr.Fury asked that... Did he know that he was a half dragon.

Hiccup felt like his head was going to explode. Many random concerns were running through his head. What would Toothless say tomorrow?

WHEN WILL THESE SCIENTISTS GO OUT OF HIS HOUSE?

THE NEXT DAY

"Hiccup!" Hiccup heard Toothles's yelled his name as he ran from the guy.

The school was just as quiet as yesterday. But with the two boys running around, it helped made some colors for the day. He had told Gobber about what he learned yesterday, and the guy looked careless about that. Who would believe him anyway? It was a new theory that he learnt from someone. He believed that it was true. But how Drake knew this much was a sususpicioun, he had to know more about this man.

"Can we - t-alk about - this!?" Toothless stuttered between words as his breath was getting wild and relentless.

Hiccup stopped running as he realized that the guy wouldn't stop until he get what he wanted. Toothless stopped as well and breathed wildly "Hicc-up, please"

Hiccup didn't know how to respond.

"Please tell me what you know"

"I don't have to tell you anything, Toothless" Hiccup stars firmly.

Toothless approached Hiccup and grabbed both of his shoulders "You said you had a thing for me, right? If you let me help you, we can work on that"

"I don't need help" Hiccup said, awkwardly look at the hands on his shoulders "It's about what I am, okay? Nothing's interesting"

"You said that you were dangerous" Toothless said.

"Did I?"

"It's about what you and my dad talk about, isn't it? It's about Dragon" Toothless narrowed his eyes. Damn, like father like son.

Before Hiccup could answer, the fire protection and the security alarm went off. Hiccup and Toothless were suddenly soaked in water "Fire?" Hiccup spoke up.

There was a scream coming from the way to the cafeteria. Hiccup immediately reacted and went after the scream. Toothless followed.

They went into the cafeteria and saw a dragon. It was a bird-like dragon with spiky tail, its grey scales glistening as water ran past, and it had only two legs "What the f-" Hiccup put his hand over Toothless's mouth, but it was too late. The dragon perked up at the sound of Toothless and it turned its attention to them both.

Its nostril flared and eyes dilated before lunging at the boys "Hiccup!" Toothless yelped.

Hiccup lunged and unfortunately got smacked by its tail, flying to the wall. The dragon snarled at Toothless as it slowly approached him. Toothless stumbled back and fell flat on his back. "H-help! Somebody!"

Hiccup growled at the helpless voice "Come on..." He tried to call for his dragon features "I have to protect Toothless!"

The dragon stalked closer and opened its mouth, revealing sets of sharp teeth "Hiccup!" Toothless's cry was the best push for him. Hiccup immediately covered in fire, even with the fire protection, his fire was not extinguished.

The fire disappeared, and there stood Hiccup in his dragon features. Hiccup growled and ran toward the grey dragon before jumping on it and yanked its horn, preventing it from biting off Toothless's head.

Toothless stared at his savior in shock. Hiccup pounded his fist against the dragon as it tried to shake him off. It was successful when Hiccup lost his grip and flew to the table.

Hiccup immediately stood up and roared at it. The dragon roared back and it swings its spiky tail, Hiccup pulled his cloak over himself and the spikes bounced off. Another feature of his cloak that he discovered.

Toothless looked at the fight between the two as he hid behind a counter. He saw no trace of Hiccup when he looked at the wall where his friend had been sent flying to. Maybe he had escaped, and he should do the same.

Hiccup threw a chair at it and the chair landed on its head "Hey, you!" Hiccup shouted to Toothless "Make sure to delete every record from the cameras for me, alright!?"

"Uh... Yeah?" Toothless awkwardly replied to the mysterious dragon-human-looking guy.

Toothless was wondering if this was what Hiccup had said about. Was he hiding this dragon guy?

Hiccup saw the shinning crystal on the tip of the dragon's tail and he knew what to do...

And Toothless knew what to do too...

Things just got more complicated and more exciting, haha.
