Prompt: Walk Away by Five Finger Death-Punch
Disclaimer: I don't own the song or HTTYD!
War. War changes people. The sound of gunfire, the screams of pain. They make irrevocable changes to even the strongest of people. And once a soul is stained with the blood of conflict, it can never go back.
Killing becomes second nature. And peace is all but left abandoned.
Tyr was no exception. He had joined the SAS to serve his country, 8 years and he would be out. The moment that he rengaged in battle he was hooked. The feel of his fist contacting with his enemy. The sound of snapping bones. The sights and smell of the blood and the battlefield. It was intoxicating. Around the barracks people had named him the "Toothless" for his ruthless way of fighting. He never took prisoners. He never joked around. And he never missed a target.
But there was one thing that kept him coming back home. One thing that kept him from going into career service.
Hiccup.
Yet that was about to change. What took Toothless twenty years to build would all come to an end in 5 minutes. He picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number.
I'm sorry,
for the demon I've become,
You should be sorry,
for the angel you are not,
I apologize,
for the cruel things that I did.
But I don't regret,
one single word I said.
The blackened skies spit a icy rain on the town of Berk. The rain permeated everything, chilling both flesh and temperament of the inhabitants. Hiccup was no different. The man sat in front of a television watching a weather program.
His attention was immediately diverted when the phone began to ring. With speed more akin to a cheetah Hiccup cleared the couch and answered the phone.
"Hello?" he asked kindly
"Hiccup. Its me..." the rough sound of his lover responded. But there was something wrong. It sounded distant.
"Hey hon! what is wrong?"
"It is over Hiccup. I cant take it any longer."
"What the Service? I told you that..."
"No not the service. Us hiccup. We are done"
When Hiccup heard those words his jaw dropped. And his heart froze in his chest.
Just walk away make it easy on yourself,
Just walk away please release me from this hell,
Just walk away there's just nothing left to feel,
Just walk away pretend that none of this is real,
"What...what do you..." Hiccup asked in confusion.
"I don't regret our time together. But I belong out here fighting, it is what I am good at. And you can do so much better than waiting for me to come home." Toothless said stoically.
"Please no...please" Hiccup begged tears welling in his eyes.
"Just walk away Hiccup. It is for the best. Goodbye."
Before Hiccup could do anything the line went dead. He knew that it would be the last time he ever spoke to the man he loved. Thousands of thoughts rushed through his head. Why? How? Was it me?
Could you forgive me,
if I told you that I cared,
Would you be sorry,
if I swore that I'd be there,
Please forgive me,
for laughing when you fall,
I'm so sorry,
but I never cared at all,
Years had passed. And Hiccup had slowly gone insane. He began associating himself with the wrong crowds. And soon he became an active member of 'Black Claw' the largest terrorist group in Europe. He planned bombings and assassinations. After all, Tyr was sure to return to him now. Right?
Meanwhile in a safe house a few block from Hiccups location Toothless was gearing up for an assault on the Black Claw HQ. His target was the new 'Brain'. Brains planned attacks and such and were often taken for their knowledge. And this one was supposed to be the best. He had planned attacks in London, Paris, and even the infamous Tokyo Subway Gassing.
Before long Toothless was in the back of a van suited in full 'armor and ammo'.
The driver gave a signal and Toothless jumped onto the cold streets. The sky was pelting out a harsh icy rain. Just like that night so many years ago.
Toothless breached the door, and fired at the two guards. The suppressor kept his presence unknown as he made his way through the building.
Ten minutes and twelve bodies later Toothless breached the door of the last room of the house. His gun was trained on the single occupants head. All it would take was a twitch and it would be over. The sorry excuse of a human being across from him would jerk, fall, and be silent.
But his orders were to take him alive.
So Toothless did just that. Using the stock as a club he hit the man over the shoulder. Their was a sick crack as the collar bone broke in two. The man let out a scream. And fell to the ground with gripping his shoulder.
Toothless took the time to study his prisoner now. And what he saw made him blanch of color. Here was Hiccup. He had not seen the man in ten years. And now he was staring into those familiar evergreen eyes. Toothless felt many emotions rush through him. Confusion, awe, but most of all Disbelief. How could the kind and gentle Hiccup plan such horrible things?
"Hiccup? What the hell!" Toothless shouted at the downed man.
"I knew you would come back. And now we can be together...Forever" Hiccup said holding his fist up.
Toothless looked at what the man was holding and he panicked. In his hand was the remote detanator to a bomb strapped to Hiccups chest. He did not even think as he pulled out his pistol and fired.
Hiccups jerked violently. Before the contents of his chest began to drain into a puddle on the floor of the room. His eyes were wide and his jaw worked silently. The shock of the bullet had caused him to drop the detonator.
"I told you to just walk away..." Toothless said still pointing the pistol at Hiccup. He did not want to shoot him. But it looked like he would have to. The bullet had entered Hiccups lung and without immediate surgical treatment he would die.
For the first time in his long career. Toothless disobeyed an order. He pointed the gun at Hiccups head. This shot would kill him for sure. Toothless did not hesitate as he held the pistol in his right hand. Hiccup then did something that Toothless never would forget.
He smiled, and gave a nod.
BANG
Hiccups head jerked as it was split open by the bullet. Toothless watched for a moment as the blood drained from his ex lover. Hiccup looked so happy as he lay there dead. And Toothless?
He just walked away.
Just walk away make it easy on yourself,
Just walk away please release me from this hell,
Just walk away there's just nothing left to feel,
Just walk away pretend that none of this is none of this is,
Just walk away make it easy on us both,
Just walk away there was never any hope,
Just walk away you already know the deal,
Just walk away pretend that none of this was ...none of this was real.
Please don't kill me! Just read and review and send me prompts...please.
