Hiccup was walking around campus. It was night. He just didn't want to go back to his room. He didn't know why, he just didn't.
He walked past a group of cats outside, freezing in the harsh autumn air. He used his laser eyes to create a fire for them. Did he touch his element? No. Did he do something productive that didn't result in someone's death? You betch'a!
He smiled and watched as other animals were drawn to the flames.

With Hicsup (yes, he was still calling the brat that) out of the dorm, Toothless decided he ought to get up and out of the room and start trying to find Haddock.
He had on his night-vision goggles. He looked weird like that. Teenage guy with a Mohawk and three gold piercings on his right ear wearing goggles that looked as though they weren't even from the century.
And they weren't, they were recovered from a tomb raid, boy did Toothless love exploring in holidays, they helped pick up super rays, if Haddock even dared to use his powers, and Toothless would make sure he did, Toothless would find him.
His hands adjusted the leather on the goggles as he walked. They may've been from a tomb raid, but they weren't that old, only five or six centuries, when Supervillain, The Pharaoh, died.
He wasn't an actual pharaoh, but his goal had been trying to take over Egypt. No, pharaohs had died out well before his time. He was buried like that by his followers simply because.
The air was slightly cold and he got an idea, he ran to the cafeteria and brought out some fish. He threw it to the ground and waited in a bush.
Sure enough some cats came, and in about twenty minutes, a Superhero must've as well, because suddenly there was fire, and the goggles were picking up rays.
He whipped the goggles off and moved, stealthy but fast. If he did manage to catch a glimpse of Haddock, he wanted to maintain the element of surprise, something hard to do with a pair of ancient goggles on your head.
He ran and ran but saw no one. He sighed, giving up. He knew that there were superheroes on this campus, that had to be a positive, right?
Who was he kidding, of course there were Supes on campus! Unless there just happened to be a mini army of them in the small town aged 18-20!
He threw the goggles down in frustration and hear a shatter. Great, now one of the lenses was broken. Fuck. He jumped up and down on them in frustration, leaving behind an unrecognizable pile of glass and leather. Good riddance, the contraption was probably one of the most useless pieces of junk he'd ever seen!
He stormed back to the dorm in anger, not bothering to greet his now-there roommate (not that he would've happy) and slamming the door.
Hiccup looked up from his book on ancient languages long enough to realize that 'talking this out' was not a good idea.
.
Toothless groaned crossing another day off of his calendar. Last night he'd stormed out with his wallet again, gone to a pub, and gotten drunk. He knew that at some point he'd picked up a girl and they'd gone to her place, he also knew that he woke up in the middle of the night and snuck out and came back to the dorms.
Four more days till parent's day. He was not looking forward to it!
He stared at his wallet. It was nearly empty. He would rob a bank, but his parents would know it was him and he'd be screwed. "We're Supervillains," they'd say, "Not petty criminals." And begrudgingly he'd admit that they were right, that left one more course of action… he needed a job.
He went to some student website and found out that they were hiring at a pizza place. They needed a delivery boy with a license, no vehicle required!
That was it! That was what he needed, the pay wasn't too bad either, 1000 Icelandic króna per hour!
.
Hiccup groaned as he checked his wallet. OMG, how much had he spent on drinks with his friends? Gah, and that wasn't even the worst part, he'd only had like three drinks and a meal.
Family day was in three days, if his father found out about this, oh gods of Asgard, that would not end well. He thought about asking his parents for more money, after all, he was in college now, but that was just it, he was in college, shouldn't he be taking care of himself, after all most of the student's here were.
He sighed, there was only one thing to do, he needed a job.
.
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere a streak of purple and a streak of blue collided to form a streak of indigo.

Baldy sighed, staring at the newspaper in front of him, thank the gods Toothless didn't read the mail.
