(Hiccup & Toothless's Home)

The storm was bad on the ocean, but on land; it was your typical light rain and some wind. Everyone loved seeing how happy Hiccup was with Toothless, and boy did the joy show differently than it did on Berk. Hiccup was almost child-like, but no one minded either. Hiccup deserved this after the hard life he'd had, especially after what Stoick did. Hiccup was a lot more open and forward in Norway; he really was showing that he had no shame or fear about what he was or did. Hiccup and Toothless did make love last night, as Hiccup hoped he and Toothless would. No one heard it, but they all knew it was happening. Gobber made a remark the next morning about how relaxed Hiccup looked, and someone else commented they'd probably look like that too if they good lay the night before. Hiccup didn't even flinch, blush, or anything but smile. He did ask Gobber out right if the man knew he and Toothless were having sex long before Drake made it obvious. Gobber admitted that he did know, and never said anything out of respect because it wasn't his business or anyone else's. Also, that he guess if Hiccup wanted anyone to know; he'd have said it himself, which Hiccup confirmed that to be true.

It was a little bit until Hiccup or Toothless would make dinner at 6 pm on this semi-calm Tuesday night. Hiccup and Toothless with the others were watching a movie; Suicide Squad. It was just rolling credits as Hiccup was relaxed enough to fall asleep and would have if his phone hadn't started ringing. Hiccup tried to close his eyes and ignore it.

"Babe…It's Henrik." Toothless mentioned, glancing over to my phone, which was on the chair-side table.

"I'm just pretending I don't hear it…" Hiccup mumbled, clearly comfortable.

"How do you know he's not calling about work?" Toothless inquired.

"It's Tuesday, there's no work to call about." Hiccup yawned.

"Except for the fact that Henrik doesn't close down on Tuesdays until October, love…" Toothless reminded.

Hiccup's eyes widened as he quickly sat up from his spot and grabbed the phone. "He better friggin not…" Hiccup slid the icon and tapped speaker. "Yes?"

"Hiccup, lad! How are you tonight?" Henrik asked.

"Relaxing…About to make dinner. What do you need, Henrik?" Hiccup sighed.

"Mi-Mind coming in tonight? While…You might be used to going back and forth between the weather from here and Berk…The rest of the staff is not so good at it. I'm down two cooks and three servers, all with colds. S-So could you please come in and help me out?" Henrik wondered.

"Fine…Gimme twenty minutes." Hiccup stated. There was no use fighting it, and he knew he couldn't leave the team hanging if it was that busy. Henrik wouldn't have called if he could handle it, and obviously; he couldn't.

"You're a life saver! Guys, Hiccup's coming in to help!" Henrik called.

"Oh thank God!"

"Hiccup's back!?"

"Yes!"

"Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!"

Hiccup could only shake his head. Those last three comments were obviously customers overly excited he was coming in. "Be there soon, Henrik." Hiccup ended the call before forcing himself to get up and crack his back and neck.

"Your fans calling you?" Toothless snickered.

"Quiet you. You know you heard it…Aside from the fact it was on speaker. I have been gone for months…" Hiccup shrugged as he moved towards the bedroom. "You want your chance to see things when I work, go get ready. All weapons and armor stay here…Or those of you who have modern stuff already from the previous stay; get changed." Excited to be invited to come along; they scurried to get ready. Toothless chuckled as he got up to join Hiccup in getting ready.

(6:00 pm)
(Musical Eats)

It took some arranging, but between the car and truck; everyone was able to load up and be driven to Hiccup's modern job, which no one would admit to out loud, but they were very curious and anxious to see it in full glory. Dagur, Mala, Heather, Gobber, and the riders had seen it before, but this would still be fun for everyone. After parking, Hiccup brought everyone in through the main entrance and had Toothless take them to the VIP section and get them set while customers and even staff were cheering that Hiccup had come.

"I owe you big time for this." Henrik greeted him with a smile.

"Yeah, you really do…" Hiccup muttered as he looked around and noticed some of his other modern friends there. Like Katja, Brynjar, Vera, and Signy. Olivia was present too. Natalie was working, so was Oivind and Sigvard. "Kitchen or stage first?"

"Stage, that usually gets them excited and chatting about your performance while taking off pressure for your kitchen boys." Henrik said.

"Got it." Hiccup moved to get to the stage and set up his stuff quickly. Grabbing the first song he found to get people having fun; he held the microphone and flipped it on.

"Oh, here he goes. Is he gonna rile them up again?" Dagur wondered.

"Always." Toothless nodded.

"Good evening, everyone. I apologize for making you wait…I was gonna chill it at home tonight after the long vacation with my fiancé, but decided that I just missed you all so much and had to come and see you!" Hiccup smiled broadly as everyone laughed and cheered. "Are we ready to have a great night?!" More cheering and laughing. "That's all I get? I'm gone for two months and that's all I get?" He was still smiling, though. "Huh, well guess you didn't miss me all that much. I guess I'll just head-" Hiccup started to turn around to walk off.

"GET YOUR BUTT BACK ON STAGE!" someone yelled. More laughing.

"AND SING FOR US!" Another shouted. More clapping and cheering.

"WE MISS YOU, HICCUP!" Hiccup laughed now, facing everyone again.

"Aw, well that's more like it. I only do this for all of you, so the day comes you don't need me anymore…" Hiccup stated.

"We'll always need you! Please don't ever leave that long again!" This time, it was a kid who had spoken up. Hiccup recognized her, little Ashley, from the first time he brought the Vikings here while he worked.

"I'll do my best, but I'm just needed everywhere. You'll have to bear with me until I find a way to split my busy life evenly." Hiccup chuckled. "Now…How about we get this started?"

"YEAH!" The room cheered loudly.

"They all love him…" Mogadon blinked.

"He's famous here, not so much the excellent cooking…But the singing. He was born to lead and inspire people…" Toothless informed, smiling softly as he admired his future husband.

"As my returning to the stage opening number; I'm going to grace you with a song from my own personal collection of works…" Hiccup said gently. "This is for anyone and everyone who has ever felt invisible, or different from the rest. A song to let you know that you're not alone." He informed as Toothless eyed him curiously, why hadn't Hiccup told him about this piece? Toothless figured he'd just have to listen and see what happened, but it sounded exactly like what Hiccup said; something personal, meaning Hiccup clearly related and that's why he made it. Hiccup started the music and assumed his place on stage.

"Crowded hallways are the loneliest places, for outcasts and rebels, or anyone who just dares to be different." Hiccup started before taking a breath. "And you've been trying for so long to find out where your place is. But in their narrow minds, there's no room for anyone who dares to do something different. Oh, but listen for a minute…"

"Trust the one, who's been where you are; wishing all it was-was sticks and stones. Those words cut deep, but that don't mean you're all alone. And you're not invisible. Hear me out. There's so much to life than what you're feeling now. And someday you'll back on all these days, and all this pain is gonna be…Invisible." Yeah, Toothless knew this was personal. It's how Hiccup felt growing up, that no one even knew he existed unless he was in trouble. Years on after things got better, Hiccup felt that pain still and he was waiting for the day he could look back on the past and it wouldn't hurt anymore.

"So your confidence is quiet. To them, quiet looks like weakness. But you don't have to fight it, cause you're strong enough to win without a war. Every heart has a rhythm, let yours beat out so loudly, that everyone can hear it. Yeah, I promise you don't need to hide it anymore. Oh, and never be afraid of doing something different. Dare to do something moooore!" Hiccup sang out. People were smiling, chatting among themselves about the message and impact of the song Hiccup sang. Obviously understanding that something like this couldn't be made unless the artist had known that feeling. Overall, wonderfully done song that everyone enjoyed.

"Trust the one, who's been where you are; wishing all it was-was sticks and stones. Yeah, those words cut deep, but that don't mean you're all alone. And you're not invisible. Hear me out. There's so much to life than what you're feeling now. And someday you'll back on all these days, and all this pain is gonna be…Invisible!" The music continued a bit before Hiccup started again. "These labels that they give you, just cause they don't understand. If you look past this moment, you'll see you've got a friend; waving a flag for who you are and all your gonna do." Hiccup looked to Toothless now, smiling. Toothless understood the notion; Hiccup was referring to him as that friend who was there for him and changed his life. "So here's to you, and here's to anyone who's ever felt invisible!" The guitar solo hit as more people cheered for the song. "Yeah-yeah!" Was added in.

"And you're not invisible!" Hiccup sang out. "Hear me out. There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now. Yeah, some day you'll look back on these days and all this pain is gonna be…Invisible. It'll be invisible…" Hiccup finished as the music slowed and ended. As soon as it did, there was an uproar of applause. Hiccup brought his arm across his midsection and gave a bow to the crowd; he looked over to Toothless with the others, seeing them clapping, smiling, and cheering as well. Hiccup smiled again before bringing the microphone up to his mouth.

"Now that you're good with that to talk about for a while," Hiccup laughed some as others did too. "I'm gonna jump on the second part of my job to feed you." He informed. "Hang tight, have fun, and I'll be back soon with another one for you." Hiccup turned the mic off and set it back on his stand before heading towards the entrance to the back kitchen. While passing Toothless, he winked and snuck a kiss in. Before Toothless could do anything, Hiccup was already out of grab range and getting ready to start cooking by finding out where his staff was.

"He truly is something else…" Gobber chuckled.

Toothless smiled. "No…He's just…Different, and absolutely perfect being so."

. . .

(9:45 pm)

The last three hours had forty-five minutes been interesting. Hiccup paid no mind to anything other than his work; the Vikings who hadn't seen it before were more than convinced of what everyone said back on Berk. This is where Hiccup was happy, willing to work because it was what he wanted to do and it made him happy. Despite the madness known as a dining room full of customers, Hiccup was smiling and laughing with the guys he worked with in the kitchen, one of which was Oivind, Alvin's son. And Alvin could clearly see that his son was happy too. Even the servers looked less stressed and were having fun. During all the parts where Hiccup would sing; everyone got hyped up for it. Moving with the beat, singing along, dancing in their seats. It was definitely an experience, and one that the Vikings were happy to see and be part of. Toothless informed them that the restaurant's doors would lock at 10 pm, the customers would finish and leave, then everyone would start their closing things and usually if nothing got held up; they'd all be done and out to go home around 11:15-11:30 pm.

"Alright, lad. Last song of the night. Make it count." Henrik smiled to Hiccup.

"Aye, aye." Hiccup nodded, checking to make sure his cooks were good if he left.

"Go on, we got it." Oivind insisted. Hiccup smiled and moved to get out from behind the kitchen. Hiccup got to the stage and started searching for his final song of the night.

Just as Hiccup was about to start something, Henrik approached. "You've got a request, kiddo." Hiccup only arched a brow at him. "One of the couples here are celebrating six years of marriage or something. Anyway, they were wondering if you'd do their wedding song?"

"Kind'a need to know the song to know if I can or not." Hiccup stated.

"To Love You More by Celine Dion." Henrik informed. Hiccup stared at him a moment, but sighed.

"Might be pushing it, but I think I can handle it." Hiccup nodded. "But I'm gonna have to do my version, not the original. It'll kill my voice to do Celine's. Just as the warning…" Henrik nodding, accepting what Hiccup said; he'd never make Hiccup risk his voice, and then headed off, informing the couple that Hiccup would do it. Hiccup found the song and got it started as he gave himself a moment to refocus before beginning.

The song was To Love You More by Celine Dion, but the music was different, and so were the lyrics to a degree. (The version implied is Cherice Pempengco's.) So the version was done in a lower tone, but still had the length to allow Hiccup wouldn't completely lose his voice or hurt it with trying to do the original. When the song ended, Hiccup gave his bow and closing to wish everyone a good night and he'd see them again soon. After that; he returned to the kitchen to finish cooking. At 10 pm, the doors were locked, and Henrik would let others out until it was only staff remaining. Hiccup started letting his computer play music at random while they all cleaned up and eventually, go home for the night around 11:30 pm.

(Hiccup & Toothless's Home)

It took a bit to get everyone back in the two vehicles, but they eventually reached Hiccup & Toothless's house and got inside the home. The others started getting ready to lay down for the night while Hiccup and Toothless locked up and went right to their bedroom after saying goodnight to the others. Once in the safety of their bedroom, with the door locked, Toothless instantly pulled Hiccup against him for a hug, and then a gently kiss.

"I love you…" Hiccup smiled at his fiancé.

"Love you too. I know you like to shower after work…Maybe I come join you?" Toothless asked.

"If you'd like, I have no objections." Hiccup giggled before grabbing Toothless's hand and pulling him into their shared master bathroom, still sneaking in kisses and stripping off their clothes while they went. Once in the shower, Hiccup got it going to a comfortable temperature for them both before he stepped in and then Toothless right behind. The curtain closed as they stood under the water, and held one another before beginning to make out.

~Lemon Start~

Hiccup had known it would become this if they showered together, and he was fine with it. Who cares if they did it Monday night as well? They were home, in their house. Everyone knew they did it, so there was no more fear in anyone finding out. But the best part was that all of Hiccup's stress had gone away; he felt a peace once more and all the happiness he could ever have dreamed of having. Everything was going to work out and just be fine, as Toothless continued to tell him. Right now, Toothless had Hiccup pressed against the wall, holding him close and they were making out under the water. Toothless's kisses moved along his cheek and down Hiccup's neck, making the auburn-haired boy moan softly and wrap his arms around Toothless's shoulders, giving light tugs from gripping his jet black hair.

"Mmm…Toothless…" Hiccup panted. "Do-Don't tease…I want you…Please?"

"Should I take you from behind or hold you up against the wall?" Toothless kissed his ear lightly.

"Do-Don't care…Just want you…" Hiccup pleaded. Toothless chuckled a little, kissing Hiccup's lips against before turning him around so his front was facing the wall, with his hands on it for support and his body was bent slightly as Toothless held his hardened length at Hiccup's rear, and pushed in fast. Hiccup moaned out at the relief of his fiancé being inside him again. Toothless held Hiccup's hips gently, but with a good grip and began rocking his hips back and forth steadily. It wasn't super hard or fast, not yet. Toothless and Hiccup both enjoyed taking their time when it was available to be taken. Right now, little after midnight, and in the shower? Plenty.

After a good twenty minutes of this, and gradually picking up speed, force, and depth; Toothless started stroking Hiccup's cock with his hand and still thrusting into him. "I'm going to cum soon…" Toothless stated softly while closer to Hiccup's ear.

"M-Me too…" Hiccup moaned. "Turn me around…I want to face you and finish together…" He asked.

"You mean lock your legs around my waist and hold you against the wall while I fuck you to Valhalla and back?" Toothless smiled.

"Please, Gods, yes!" Hiccup begged. Toothless pulled out and turned Hiccup to face him again; they started making out as Hiccup already locked his arms around to hold on to his mate. Toothless held Hiccup's hips and lifted him with ease so Hiccup could lock his legs around Toothless's waist before Toothless shifted a bit to push back into Hiccup rear. Hiccup cried out in pleasure, throwing his head back as Toothless started thrusting the same way he was before. "Fuck!" He moaned, attempting to bounce on Toothless's length and move with him. To get a better angle, Toothless let Hiccup use the wall for support and continued to rock into him hard and fast. "Gods, yes…Tooth…" Hiccup panted. "Mmm…Harder, faster!" Toothless was happy to oblige.

It wasn't more than five minutes later when Hiccup gripped Toothless's shoulders tightly. "Are you gonna cum, babe?" Hiccup only managed a nod as Toothless slowed his movements, but it let him go harder and deeper making Hiccup gasp out. "Cum…Cum, baby." Toothless told him, lowering one hand to stroke Hiccup's length. He was strong enough that with Hiccup leaning back on the wall; Toothless only needed one arm locked around his back to hold him so he wouldn't fall or lose balance.

Hiccup struggled to control his breathing, but when Toothless started to stroke him; he lost his concentration and arched a bit, holding onto Toothless tightly and getting himself close enough to kiss him deeply. Hiccup tensed up, moaning into the kiss as he released suddenly. "Fuck! Gods, yes! Toothless…I-I'm cumming!" Not more than a second later, Toothless growled lowly and thrust in hard, cumming as well. Breaking the kiss as he came; he moved his lips to Hiccup's neck, kissing the mark once before biting down on it. Hiccup flinched at first, but moaned after the initial sting wore off. Hiccup panted heavily, his body nearly going limp, but Toothless held him firmly. The last thing they needed was for either one of them to fall and get hurt in the shower while Toothless was still inside him and they were naked.

~Lemon End~

After a few moments of coming down for their orgasmic highs, Toothless lightly pulled out and set Hiccup down carefully, but didn't let go until he knew Hiccup had his balance to stand straight and not have jelly legs. It was about 12:45 am now as they shared a few light kisses under the water that was losing its heat.

"I love you." Hiccup said softly.

"I love you too." Toothless replied as they hugged. "Now, let's shower for real and get to bed. Because if the sailing ban is still in effect, you have work tomorrow." He teased. Hiccup nodded to him with a smile as they finished their shower after five minutes of rinsing off and quick washing of the body and hair before turning off the water and getting out to dry off, get dressed, and then get into bed to cuddle up.

"Just so ya's know…" Gobber's voice was heard as Hiccup and Toothless blinked because it was coming from above them in the loft. "Your bedroom may not let a lot out sound out, but your bathroom does! We heard everything!" Toothless's eyes widened as Hiccup blushed intensely.

"Go to sleep!" Toothless scolded as Hiccup buried himself against Toothless's bare chest.

"Gods, they're never gonna let me live it down…" Hiccup mumbled.

"Least they know you weren't kidding when you said it was amazing…" Toothless offered as Hiccup glanced up and glared at him, unamused by the joke. "Relax, babe. Everyone knows we do it, who cares if they heard it. Your happy, and that's all anyone cares about."

Hiccup ended up smiled and kissed him. "And I'm only this happy because of you."

"As I feel the same. Let's get some sleep." Toothless held him as they snuggled comfortably, and fell asleep within fifteen minutes.
