Awkward

Astrid Hofferson never dubbed the chief's son as someone who would curse. He was just too… well, Hiccup to do that sort of thing. Especially to dragons. Sure, she could imagine some little kid younger than her curse, heck she could even imagine Fishlegs curse, but Hiccup? Her Hiccup? That's an entirely different story.

It all started as she and the rest of her fellow dragon riders were on their way to the academy. Hiccup was already there because he said he needed to prepare the arena for their new activity today. It was something along the lines of "bonding time" and a "healthy completion".

The teens chatted as they walked towards the arena that had once been used for training in killing dragons. Once they entered though, they couldn't believe their ears at what they heard.

"Will you stop this Thor-damned nonsense you overgrown goddamned lizards!"

The teens of Berk froze in their tracks once they recognized who that voice belonged to. Astrid glanced around. There were barrels scattered on the floor, some were even lit up in flames. Their score board lay on the ground in pieces. She could also recognize some of Stormfly's spikes were on the walls and various places looked like they were burned. And lastly, Hiccup's precious notebook was on the ground slightly burned, although still intact.

Astrid then turned to see Hiccup, with his back faced to them, who was glaring intensely at all their dragons. Including Toothless. Speaking of the dragons, it looks as if they had gotten into a big fight leaving poor Hiccup to deal with them. Toothless and Stormfly were on one side glaring and growling at Hookfang and Barf and Belch who were on the other with the same expressions. Meanwhile, Meatlug lay lazily behind Hiccup on a pile of rocks Hiccup had prepared before the fight broke out. She glanced at her friends to see their shocked expressions and was about to say something when Hiccup shouted again.

"You all maybe matured dragons but you're all behaving as if you're hatchlings! If I see you fight with each other or with any dragon on Berk for that matter I will personally lock you up in here for three days with an eel and your wings wrapped tightly around your bodies! I've worked so hard on this damned notebook and all you do is knock it out of my hand and burn its few pages. Well guess what, I don't care if you're dragons, but I want this place cleaned up NOW! And I mean ALL of you, clean up RIGHT NOW!" Hiccup's voice boomed.

All of the dragons scrambled, terrified. Nothing's worse than an angry Viking. They all picked up the barrels and set them in their proper positions. The pieces of their broken scoreboard were swept to the side by Toothless' tail. Once everything was in order the dragons all lined up in front of Hiccup with their heads down. Suddenly, Toothless' ears perked up and he looked up to see Astrid and the rest of the teens standing with their mouths agape. The Night Fury whined softly in Hiccup's direction causing the young Viking to turn to him with a scowl. Toothless motioned his head towards the other Vikings and Hiccup sighed before turned towards his friends. He then ran a hand through his hair before speaking.

"How long have you all been standing there?" he asked.

"Long enough." Astrid said which sounded more like a question.

"Did you… hear all those things I said?" Hiccup asked. All the teens nodded. Hiccup sighed again.

"You probably won't let me live this down, will you?"

"Yeah pretty much." Snotlout said. They were all silent for a few moments before Tuffnut spoke

"Whoa, remind me not to get on your bad side, Hiccup." He said as he glanced at the still quiet dragons. Hiccup snorted.

"Yeah, I'll try to remember that." He said sarcastically. He then awkwardly motioned for his friends to go to their respective places. Once everything was settled, Hiccup walked up front to were the dragons still were.

"I'll all forgive you this time. But the next time any of you will pull of a stunt like that, I meant what I said a while ago." He said. The dragons all gave their grumbles before going to their respective riders. Toothless approached Hiccup with wide, pleading eyes before gently nudging him. The boy sighed before scratching his dragon behind the ears. He then turned to his friends.

"So, our lesson for today is…"

Yep, she definitely has to get to know Hiccup more. Well, at least this side of him, to be more specific. Astrid thought to herself as Hiccup continued on with the lesson as if nothing happened.
