Chapter 55: Christmas Surprise.

It had been such a long, amazing night between the two lovers. They'd finally made love for the first time ever and now that they had done it, they were both sure it would be happening again. Neither of the cared though, it really was the most intimate thing a couple could do to express their love for one another. They had quite literally made love all night long from about 12:45am to 5am. They did so many positions, and came multiple times. They were exhausted when they had fallen asleep around 5:10am. Toothless had set his alarm for 1:30pm that way they would have time to wake up, drink coffee, shower, pack up and meet Steve in the main lobby to help attach the plow to the truck and get back to Berk tomorrow morning.

Toothless actually woke up close to 3 minutes before the alarm went off, he laid there holding Hiccup close to him as he had his head propped up with his right hand to see his boyfriend sleeping peacefully beside him. 'You are the most beautiful think I've ever laid eyes on, Hayden...And you will never know how much I truly love you.' Toothless thought as he kissed Hiccup's cheek then reached for his phone to shut the alarm off before it went off, he'd let Hiccup sleep a while longer. Toothless shut the ringer off then slowly got out of the bed, he grabbed a pair of boxers, then pulled on his sweat pants which had been carelessly thrown on the bed when they were having sex, then to the floor when they went to bed.

Toothless yawned as he began getting the coffee ready, he closed his eyes after starting it then glanced t Hiccup who was still sleeping peacefully. When the coffee was done brewing after 10 minutes, Toothless made his first cup up and began to drink it while moving to the window so he could look outside and check how deep the snow was, it was about knee of thigh high right now and actually starting to lighten up a lot. Toothless sat down in the chair sipping his coffee while checking the weather. He still couldn't believe they were going home this afternoon. It really was a miracle to him, he might miss Christmas Eve but he'd be home Christmas morning and that was enough to make him happy.

From what he discussed with Steve the evening before was that they were going to meet at 3pm in the main lobby, shovel out his truck, then put the plow on. They were going to drive until midnight then stop for the night, grab some breakfast at the nearest place and keeping going at mornings first light for the remaining few hours through Berk. Toothless checked the weather in Berk from his phone, right now if was minimal snow fall and barely sticking so once they got out of Burglar which would be a very slow process, they would be okay. They were going to have to drive at speeds about 15mph to handle the snow fall, then when leaving Burglar to enter Berk they could pick up speed depending on weather.

His parents and siblings would sure be in for a surprise when he and Hiccup showed up unannounced at 8am or so. Toothless was eternally grateful to this man for what he was doing for them, taking them with him in his truck so they wouldn't have to miss Christmas with their families. Toothless's parents were actually trying to call him still and he wasn't answering so he wouldn't wake Hiccup up. They'd assume his phone was dead or something, which was fine. He'd call them right before he left to say they lost power and his phone died. In the silence Toothless began to hear movement as his eyes glanced to Hiccup's form beginning to stir.

Hiccup rolled over slow and opened his eyes to adjust to the light, he saw Toothless sitting in the chair by the window with a cup of coffee. Hiccup instantly smiled softly, "Morning beautiful." Toothless greeted him gently.

"Morning handsome. When did...you wake up? I never heard the alarm." Hiccup asked sitting up slow and rubbing his eyes.

"I turned it off so you could sleep more, I know last night was long for us." Toothless chuckled a bit earning a faint blush from his boyfriend. "I woke up about 20 minutes ago, its almost 2pm. There's coffee if you want some." Toothless told him.

"Gods I don't even want to move right now..." Hiccup sighed laying back with a smile.

"How do you feel? Sore? Pain?" Toothless asked softly.

"Sore yes, pain...Not so much." Hiccup looked over at him again.

"Take a hot shower, should help with the soreness. Sorry if I was too rough on you last night...But in my defense you were the one begging me to go harder and faster." Toothless said as he got up and moved to the drawer where Hiccup's things were, he got his boyfriend a pair of boxers then grabbed his sweat pants off the floor before walking back towards him.

"Thanks and I know...It just felt so good and I wanted more..." Hiccup blushed deeply while Toothless went to the coffee pot and poured Hiccup a mug, then added sugar and milk to the way he liked it as he brought it over. Hiccup blew it a few times before taking some sips and relaxing. "That hits the spot. So we leave in an hour right?" Hiccup asked him.

"We do. We should pack up first, shower after." Toothless offered.

"Sounds good to me. How's the weather?" Hiccup questioned.

"Lightening up considerably but still about knee to thigh high out there and the wind is strong." Toothless shrugged as he put his coffee down on the night stand to pull their suitcases from the closet. Toothless pulled out the clothes he'd be wearing for the ride home and left a set to change into on top. He also took it upon himself to pack Hiccup's for him, but this point it was 2:20pm. "Alright, I'm going to shower. You wanna join me?" Toothless asked.

"Sure, why not." Hiccup smiled as he finished his coffee and got up slipping on his boxers but not bothering with the sweat pants. The two of them entered the bathroom together, Toothless got the water going to a medium hot where it would relax them but not burn. Toothless stepped in first after removing his clothes, then Hiccup followed afterwards. They washed their bodies and switched out to rinse off, then did the same for their hair. When clean they ended up making out for a good 5 minutes standing under the water. By Toothless's guess it was close to 2:50 or so and they had to stop. Toothless shut the water off as they both got their towels from the rack and dried off then returned to the main room to get dressed.

Thankfully they had been smart and packed two sets of casual clothes so they wouldn't have to wear their suits home. They threw away their shirts that had been ripped during last night, and cleaned up the room to the best they could before double checking they had everything. Toothless checked the closet, bathroom, drawers, and even the safe that was in their room. With a nod of approval the two grabbed their suitcases, and garment bags before unlocking the door and exiting the room to get to the elevator. Toothless pressed the lobby button as the elevator began to move down slow, both of them couldn't erase the smiles on their faces. They were going home!

When the doors opened and they walked out, Toothless saw Steve at the check out desk talking with the man who was insisting he doesn't try to leave. Toothless checked himself and Hiccup out, turning in their room keys then standing by Steve. "Ah, Toothless! There you lads are." Steve smiled brightly.

"We're here. Steve, this is my boyfriend...Hayden Haddock. Owner of Haddock Industries." Toothless introduced.

"A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Haddock. I'm Steve Dawdsen." Steve smiled as the two shook hands.

"Thank you so much for taking us with you back to Berk..." Hiccup smiled softly.

"Again, the pleasure is all mine. Well, shall we get started? My truck is parked right out front, after some arguing...I got the hotel to let us borrow some snow suits and shovels." Steven smiled wide.

"We're ready. Babe, stay in here with the bags okay? Go get some breakfast from the snack stand over there." Toothless kissed his cheek, Hiccup nodded and went to get them something to eat while Toothless and Steve changed in to the overall type snow pants, hats, gloves, and what appeared to be rain boots. They got their shovels then got right to work shoveling a path towards Steve's truck. It didn't take as long as they thought it would. There was only about 2 feet of thick, wet snow. The rest was more or less a semi-wet powder. Reaching the truck in 30 minutes, they got it cleaned off and shoveled it out.

By this point it was 3:35pm and they'd finally gotten to the bed of the truck to get the plow out. "Alright, its kind of heavy. You sure you can hold your side of it?" Steve asked.

"I got it, lets just get it on before this snow gets worse. Weather says it might pick up again." Toothless called to him. Together with little difficulty they lifted the plow and moved it to the front of the truck, Steve got it all hooked on and they both smiled. There was even a salt distributer in front, the two got in the truck and drove it to the front of the building. They took off all the snow gear, ate some breakfast, along with another cup of coffee. They all relaxed a few minutes, went to the bathroom, then loaded in the tuck together.

"Alright, its about 4pm. We've got 8 hours of driving to get through before midnight. If I mapped it right, we should be just out the outskirts of Madguts by then and there is a motel we can grab for the night. We ready?" Steve asked.

"We are so ready to go home." Toothless said smiling, Hiccup nodded.

"Then we're off!" Steve cheered, he started the truck and dropped the plow then they were gone heading out of the hotel parking lot and on to the main roads where plows had finally started to make their way to clearing of. Hiccup closed his eyes happily as he leaned his head on Toothless's shoulder.

"We'll be home in 15 hours..." Hiccup sighed in relief.

"Yes we will be." Toothless nodded as he laid his head on his boyfriend's. They'd be home soon, he couldn't wait. Neither of them could.

(8 Hours Later)

Leaving Burglar was harder than they thought, they had to drive about 7 miles because of how slippery is was and they had to stop to get the built up snow off the front of the plow. It was about 11:30 when they were forced to stop because they needed gas and sleep. Hiccup and Toothless were both still tired from their late night fun, Steve found them a motel near the edge of Madguts which is as far as they reached before they all needed to stop. They got gas first then got a room for the night, Toothless and Hiccup would share a bed while Steve took the other. They stopped at 5:30, then a snack around 9. They were all winding down and relaxing now.

"So we leave what time tomorrow morning?" Hiccup asked.

"Figuring that out now. The storm in Burglar hit here too, not nearly as bad but still enough to slow us down until we get out of Madguts which is still another 1 hour drive, then through Outlands to Berk is another 3. We might not reach Berk until closer to lunch time. Leaving Burglar with all that snow put us behind. Thankfully though we did reach the Outlands/Madguts line before stopping for the night." Steve informed them.

"So an hour out of Madguts, 3 through Outlands...then I'd say to where we're going is probably 45 minutes from the Berk County line. If we leave at 5am, we'll be out of Madguts by 6. Then we'll be past Outlands and entering Berk by 9...home by 10am." Toothless stated with his eyes closed.

"I'm gonna need more than 5 ½ hours of sleep to do all that lad." Steve chuckled.

"I'll drive if you want. I don't need a ton of sleep to function and you've been driving the whole 8 hours since Burglar." Toothless offered.

"Yeah, that could work. You know how to read a map and work the plow?" Steve asked him.

"I watched you run it the whole ride. And I can use my cell as a GPS..." Toothless nodded.

"Then its settled. Toothless can drive us through Madguts, Outlands, and into Berk. You can sleep more in the truck." Hiccup smiled.

"Perfect, now I think we should all be getting some sleep." Steve added. They flipped off the lights after putting the map away and getting comfortable. All of them were asleep by 11:50pm, all extremely tired too. At the 4 hour mark of their drive, Toothless checked in with his parents to let them know the snow was just starting to lighten and plows were making their around to clear roads off. But the chances of them catching a flight back to Berk were still slim to none because they still had to follow the list of people who had flights before them. Toothless tried to make it seem like they wouldn't be getting home until at least the 26th at best or early on the 27th. He wanted them to think they wouldn't be home that way it could be a big surprise when Steve's truck pulled up outside the house and they came in.

(The Next Morning)

As planned they woke up at 4:45am, made coffee, then prepared to leave again. Toothless got in the drivers seat, lowered the plow and they were on their way again. They stopped at an open McDonalds for breakfast around 6am when they crossed in to Outlands. They elected to eat in the truck so make up for lost time leaving Burglar. Hiccup and Steve were fast asleep while Toothless drove thinking about everything that happened lately, though most was bad...Everything had worked out perfectly. Around 8:30am, Toothless saw the sign to say they'd be entering Berk soon and thankfully the snow was light enough that they didn't need the plow anymore.

Now they could pick up speed and possibly beat their original time. Toothless grew more excited with each passing moment, they were so close to home, about an hour left. He couldn't wait to see the looks of shock on his family's face when they arrived there out of the blue when they'd been thinking this whole time that Toothless and Hiccup wouldn't make it home before the 26th or 27th. At 9am for sure, Toothless saw the sign that said 'Entering Berk County' and cheered. Hiccup woke up quickly looking around.

"Wha...?" He said tiredly.

"We just entered Berk babe!" Toothless exclaimed.

"Really!? So we're...45 minutes from home then!" Hiccup said smiled, they shared a quick kiss as Steve woke up. The group of them cheered together and kept driving, they stopped around 9:15 to let Steve take over again. "Gods I'm so excited! How do you think they will react seeing us ahead of schedule?" Hiccup asked him.

"Probably over-joyed...then pissed for lying to them." Toothless chuckled as they held one another's hands.

(10am)

The truck pulled up in the driveway of the Fury house, they could see that Gobber was already there. They quietly got out and got their bags as they looked at Steve. "Thank you so much for bringing us home, Steve." Hiccup smiled lightly at him.

"It was my pleasure boys. No one should be away from their family on Christmas, and with how much your inventions and products help people...I thought of nothing better to give then to give back to both of you. Have a merry Christmas and wonderful new year. I hope we'll see each other again." Steven said gently.

"Same to you and your family, Steve. Thank you again." Toothless bowed his head to him. Steve slowly pulled out of the driveway and pulled away down the street. Hiccup and Toothless looked at one another with wide smiles.

"We did it babe...We made it home for Christmas." Hiccup said, they shared a kiss before heading to the front door while making sure their heads stayed out of sight. They both took a deep breath as Toothless put his hand to the door and knocked a few times.

(Inside)

They were all sitting sadly in the living room, wishing that Hiccup and Toothless were home with them. No one had opened presents yet because they didn't feel right doing it without Toothless there. "I can't believe the weather...Toothless must be hating it right now." Celica sighed.

"His first Christmas with a family...and he has to miss it..." Markus looked down. It was then they heard the front door get knocked on and all looked at one another curiously. "Who could that be...?" Markus asked as he got up and moved to the door, he looked back at them who nodded for him to answer it. Markus opened the door and saw Toothless and Hiccup standing there with smiles on their faces.

"Too–Toothless? Hayden?..." Markus breathed out, at this all of them got up and rushed to the door to see the boys there.

"Hey dad. Merry Christmas...Santa had a late delivery and decided to grab us and take us home. You gonna let us in so we're not freezing our asses off out here?" Toothless remarked with a wide smile.

"My baby! You're home! How did you get home!? You said not until...after Christmas?" Lilly cried hysterically as she wrapped her arms around Toothless tightly then pulled back so they could come inside.

"If you calm down...We'll tell you because I swear that its nothing short of a miracle we're even here." Toothless told her. After they were in, the door shut and hugs were passed around, they were all sitting down.

"Originally, yes. We weren't due home until after Christmas, after the state of emergency was announced and Toothless called all of you to let you know...He went for a walk being how upset he was about everything, having to miss the holidays." Hiccup started.

"As I was sitting in the lobby, after talking to Selby and Alicia...A man approached me, I asked if I could help him and he said no but maybe he could help me. He said he had a truck, with a plow and was leaving 3pm on the 24th. He invited Hayden and I to come with him since he was coming to Berk anyway. Of course, I jumped at the chance to come home. So we left 4pm on the 24th after shoveling out the truck and putting the plow on, drove out of Burglar into Madguts. We stopped around 11:30 to rest, then left again at 5am to get through Outlands and back here. So here we are." Toothless smiled.

"It really is a miracle...I'm so glad you're home and you're in so much trouble for lying to us." Lilly exclaimed.

"I wanted it to be a surprise. And it was so worth it to see your faces." Toothless chuckled. "And now that I'm home, I just want to spend Christmas with my family, and boyfriend..." Toothless sighed happily.

"And celebrate we shall! Lets get ready to go to Bashem, we can still catch the train and be there by 11." Markus said.

"No...I want to stay here with you guys, I can see them after...Besides...anymore traveling and I'm gonna pass out. I'm extremely tired right now." Toothless said.

"Then we'll stay here." Lilly nodded. After that, they began opening presents. Toothless had gotten some for Hiccup, and vice-versa seeing they did their shopping before the trip was planned. They spent all day just sitting around talking and enjoying each other's company, they ate more food than they should of, and just had a great time. It was a miracle that Toothless and Hiccup made in home in 15 hours driving as much as they did just got get home in time. It was a Christmas miracle and blessing.
