A/N: This one-shot takes place after Hiccup and Toothless leave Eret's ship when Stoick and the rest of the dragon riders intercept them from reaching Drago. This plays out similarly in the second movie, however, things get interesting towards the part where Valka shows Hiccup the Dragon Sanctuary. This story does involve Hiccup x Valka, if you don't like it, don't read.

(Hiccup's pov)

Odin's beard, why does he have to be so stubborn?

I know my father means well, but... sometimes he still sees me as an ignorant child. Whoever this Drago Bludvist is, he's bad news for all of us. My father told me that Drago is a madman without conscience or mercy, but I've had my fair share of madmen in the past— Alvin the Treacherous and Dagur the Deranged being the most memorable ones I've encountered, they were once our enemies and now they're our allies because they changed their old ways, with some persuasion of course. Regardless, my father still doubts me at times, he still sees me as the boy who nearly died while fighting the Red Death, had it not been for Toothless I would be dead. But still, my father doesn't believe in me totally, and that... just makes me furious.

"ARGHHHH!!!"

My screams of anger cause Toothless to wince and give a worried coo, gods I don't deserve a friend like Toothless. Sighing heavily, I pat Toothless's neck and reassured him. "Don't worry bud, I'm not going to let anything happen to you," I then murmured in his ear, "I promise." With a heavy sigh, I lean back and look at the early evening sky.

Some time had passed and Toothless then growled lowly, making me believe that my father was silently trailing me, causing me to growl in annoyance and lift myself up. "Oh, come on Dad, really—?"

I stopped talking when I laid eyes on a figure who was definitely not my father. This slim figure was dressed in strange-looking armor, they wore a helmet with long spines and two short tusks sticking out of the front, they then disappeared in the clouds, causing me to let a shuddering breath. "Toothless, be ready for a confrontation," I murmur out. "Things might get ugly."

A loud roar was heard and a massive dragon burst out of the clouds in front of us, causing Toothless to roar out in surprise and stop dead in his tracks, pumping his wings furiously to slow himself down. This dragon was four times the size of Toothless, and its head resembled that of an owls, this dragon circled us while its rider just... stood on top of its back with ease. They held a shield and strange looking staff in hand, they then flew in front of us again while this dragon brandished not just two, but two more pairs of wings.

Toothless glared at this unknown duo and prepared a plasma blast, but I shook my head. "Hold on bud," I then murmured out. "Give me a chance to talk to them." This mysterious dragon rider then began whirling their staff and left out a dragon call, and before I could even react, I was being ripped off of Toothless and I watched in horror at the sight of my dragon falling too his death.

"TOOTHLESS!!!!"

I scream out and watch as Toothless became smaller and smaller and then crashed down in the icy below. Tears stream down my cheeks and I begin to hyperventilate while turning my eyes back to this dragon rider and their dragon. A series of roars filled my ears, causing me to turn around and see an entire swarm of dragons following the duo who jumped us. I then tried freeing my arms from the clutches of the dragon who held me in its claws, but it was fruitless effort.

"Hey!! You left my dragon back there!! He can't fly on his own, he'll drown!!"

My words fell on deaf ears, this rider said nothing while steering their dragon towards a mountain that was... covered in the very same ice Astrid and I saw at that Dragon Trapper fortress, and I saw this ice under Berserker Island when Johann and Krogan tried to take an egg belonging to the King of Dragons.

Could... Could this be the nest of the King of Dragons?

Was this dragon rider a member of more dragon riders who're committed to defending the King of Dragons?

Possibly.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't even realize the dragon that ripped me off of Toothless let me go and I landed on my feet and noted the dragons surrounding me and brandishing their teeth.

"Hey! We have to head back for my dragon!"

I said to the mystery dragon rider, but I then noticed one of the dragons advancing towards me while snarling. Taking a deep breath, I took out Inferno and ignited it while whirling it around my head slowly, I also slowly waved my flaming blade in front of the dragons, causing many of them to follow the movement of the blade with their heads.

Making them docile was critical, if I showed them any aggression, I'd be torn to pieces.

A deep snarl reached my ears, causing me to quickly turn around and lay eyes on another advancing dragon who showed aggression towards me. Quickly emptying out the small container of Zippleback gas I had used on Eret's ship and replaced it with a new one. I then let the gas spray out of the end of my weapon and spark it, causing the ring of smoke to vaporize, causing the dragons surrounding me to take a step back and surprised growls. I then clip Inferno on my waist and extend my hand out to the nearest dragon, showing them that I'm not a threat and I want to be friends.

The sound of boots hitting the ground caused me to quickly turn around and lay eyes on the dragon rider who kidnapped me. "Who are you?" I asked cautiously, but I was curious as well, I had no clue there were other dragon riders out here. "The Dragon Thief?" This figure still said nothing, I then narrow my eyes and ask again. "Uh, Drago Bludvist?" Again, no reply. "Do you even understand what I'm saying?" This dragon rider once again whirled their staff in and struck the ground while a strange rattling sound came from their staff.

Confused by this, I then heard a familiar groan that belonged to a certain dragon I shot down five years ago. Looking up, I saw a dragon that held Toothless in their talons and set him down at my feet, causing me to beat out a sigh of relief. Shaking off the icy water droplets off his body, Toothless' eyes were filled with relief at the sight of me and I embraced him. "Shh. It's alright bud," I murmur in his ear, "I'm alright. Thank the gods you're alive, I thought I may have lost you there." The dark cavern we were in lit up thanks to the dragons surrounding us illuminating our surroundings with their fire.

This rider then approached me, but Toothless growled at them in warning while wrapping his tail around me in a protective manner. To my surprise, this rider released their staff and shield and slowly approached us while crouch walking. Extending their hand out, Toothless growled out in warning once again but then his eyes rolled back and he rolled over on his back while groaning happily, almost as if he inhaled the scent of Dragon Nip. I then backed away as this rider extended their hand out to my face, but then I heard a gasp underneath that helmet and then the rider slowly backed away from me.

"H-Hiccup?"

A muffled female voice asked, this rider then took off their helmet revealing a gorgeous middle-aged woman with sea-green eyes and long auburn hair twisted into three separate braids. This woman's face twisted from shock, confusion, and excitement. "C-Could it be?" She then stood up straight and continued. "After all these years," eyeing me from head to toe, she then asked quietly. "How is this possible?" Distracted by her beauty and the fact that she's without a doubt the best dragon rider I've ever seen, I then found my voice.

"Uh, s-should I... know you?" I stammered out in question, she was speaking as if we've met before, but I intend to find out who she is.

Her beautiful face twisted into sadness and regret as she shook her head at my question. "N-No," she released a shuddering breath and continued. "You were only a babe. But a mother never forgets her child." Narrowing my eyes at this woman, I could see... myself in her eyes. My breath quickens and I nearly lose my footing at this breathtaking revelation.

This woman is my long-lost mother?!!

I opened my mouth to utter words of disbelief, but she held out a hand and hushed me softly, she then looked into my eyes, a slight smile spreading across her face and she uttered one word.

"Come."

Shaking off the disbelief, I soon took off after my mother, gods, my mother was alive?! As I followed her through a system of tunnels, I was finding it very hard to breathe due to this world flipping revelation, but also because this woman was leaping over large rocks, while also making sure I was following her.

"H-Hold on! Wait just a minute here!"

"This way!"

"Come back here!"

"Come!"

"You can't just say something like that and run off!" I exclaimed. "You're my mother?! I mean, what...?! Do you... Do you understand know how insane that sounds?!"

"Come, quickly."

"I have questions! Where have you... Where have you been all this time? What have you been doing? Th-They said you were dead!"

(Normal pov)

Was he like her? Had really she been gone all along while Hiccup took after her?

He scrambled after her, shouting that he had questions and that everyone said she'd been killed and eaten by dragons... Valka would answer all of his questions, but first, she needed him to see the nest, so that she could see with her own eyes just how like her he was, so he could see that she hadn't stayed away for anything.

Though, as her son, Hiccup may well still feel like it wasn't reason enough, which he had every right to feel, and Valka would have to answer for that.

Shedding the top layer of her armor as it made climbing difficult, Valka sat up against the wall with Cloudjumper, so that Hiccup could see the nest without distraction. It was almost feeding time, so the dragons were antsy, ready to go out and feast on their tribute of fish that the Bewilderbeast would provide for them.

Hiccup stared around in absolute awe and wonder, looking from place to place as though worried he'd never take it all in. Valka watched, hungrily absorbing his every reaction.

His dragon found them first, grizzling at the sight of Cloudjumper, who took Valka's gentle scratch against his neck as a sign to look more friendly and approachable, cocking his head and flaring his fins gently. Following the Night Fury's heated glare, Hiccup looked up into his mother's eyes and as the two looked at each other, Hiccup inquired.

"This is where you've been for twenty years?"

Valka nodded, watching him closely.

"You... You've been rescuing them."

Again, Valka nodded.

Hiccup looked at the dragons again, voice lower.

"Unbelievable."

"Y-You're not upset?"

He certainly had the right to be.

"What? No. I-I don't know. It's a bit much to get my head around, to be frank. It's not every day you find out your mother is some kind of crazy, feral vigilante dragon lady."

Hiccup spoke with his whole body, shoulders bobbing, hands moving, head up and down like he was torn between looking at her and looking away to process it all. Cloudjumper felt her move, lifting his wings to help her down.

"Well... at least I'm not boring, right?"

"No. I suppose there is that one specific thing."

Oh, his tone worried her greatly, even as he turned to placate the curious dragon approaching and sniffing him.

"Do you... Do you like it?"

As much as she wanted to give him space, give him time to process this revelation, Valka couldn't help but creep closer to the handsome man her son had become. He'd been a small babe when she was taken by Cloudjumper, but it seemed he had never gained his father's bulky muscle, instead he was long and wiry like her. Not only that, but he was a very talented dragon rider for someone his age, she has been doing this for two decades.

"I don't have the words..."

Before Valka could answer him, Toothless' grumbled in discontent as the nosy, rather impolite dragons crowded him a bit, one going so far as to sniff the Night Fury in a way that particular species tended not to do. She laughed, but Hiccup was clearly concerned for his dragon.

"Can... Can I?" She gestured, and Hiccup gave a half-gesture she hoped was agreement. "Oh, he's beautiful!" And he was, those sleek black scales and big bright eyes, sniffling her hand for her scent before allowing Valka to touch him, bumping his face against hers affectionately before scrambling around excitedly, rolling half onto his back over her lap. "Incredible... and he might very well be the last of his kind! And look..." Valka counted the little nubs under his jaw, remembering all the Night Furies she'd seen before, "...he's your age!"

"Wow..."

It was soft, but Hiccup sounded impressed. Valka hoped he would give her the time to show him more. Even now, Valka found herself learning as Toothless opened his mouth and pulled his teeth away, smile gummy and soft.

"How did you manage...?"

Even if Hiccup had inherited her love of dragons all along, a Night Fury was such a rare and sometimes temperamental species. How had Hiccup tamed and trained one all alone?

"I found him in the woods. He was shot down, wounded."

That explained the bola scars she'd seen, Valka frowned to herself. Gesturing to the nearest injured dragons, Valka explained to Hiccup.

"This Snafflefang lost his leg to one of Drago Bludvist's iron traps. This Raincutter had her wing sliced by razor netting. And this poor Hobblegrunt was blinded by a tree snare, and left to die alone and scared."

Finding her scent and shifting color to happy and relaxed, the Hobblegrunt then nuzzled Valka's hands and let her stroke his jaw, obviously hearing the pain in her voice as she remembered how badly injured he was and seeking to alleviate it.

"And what of this?" Valka knelt down, gentle with the prosthetic tailfin attached to Toothless while lifting up. "Did that... animal Drago or his trappers do this too?"

Suddenly, Hiccup looked rather nervous again.

"Crazy thing is... I'm actually the one who shot him down," Valka frowned, watching the dragon eye Hiccup's awkward shuffling. "But it's ok!"

Valka recoiled. How was that possibly ok?

"He got me back! Right bud? You couldn't save all of me, you just had to make it even! So... peg leg!"

Hiccup gestured down at his own prosthetic leg, which Valka hadn't quite registered in her own shock yet. Toothless boosted Hiccup back up onto his saddle, both responding to each other in an affectionate manner. She wasn't sure if she could ask about how he lost his leg, feeling as though demanding his life history was a little much just yet.

"May I inquire what changed? If you shot him down, and now you ride him, something drastic had to have happened for him to trust you. What changed?"

Hiccup slid down, surprisingly graceful when it came to his dragon despite the non-organic limb. He sat down, so she followed, dragons sniffing around at the newcomers as Hiccup reached up to pet his own.

"Berk was getting raided by dragons constantly while I was growing up, and they were stealing all our food and livestock. I was never much good at killing any dragons... and so they used to call me "Hiccup the Useless" and let's just say I lived up to my name."

He looked so defeated for a second, shadows of an old sadness washing through his handsome features, and Valka ached to reach out, to touch him and provide him with comfort and affection, in more ways than one.

Wait, what? Control yourself Valka!

"So I made this... I guess it was a bola launcher, and I ran outside with it and there were no dragons. Then the Night Fury noise came out of the sky, and I just shot. I hit it, and then I nearly got killed by a Monstrous Nightmare. Dad was furious at me when the raid was over, he didn't believe I hit a dragon, and then I snuck out to look for it."

Hiccup sighed, his dragon instinctively knowing he needed the reassurance, and began nuzzling his rider's face, big pink tongue peeking out until Hiccup laughed. It was a free, beautiful sound that caused Valka to smile warmly and... fill her belly with a warmth that she remembered feeling a long time ago with her husband.

"So I found this dragon. All tied up, practically waiting for me to end his life. I even said I was going to kill him, thinking of how I would finally be accepted as a Viking. And then he looked at me. And I felt like... like he was looking right into my very soul; I looked at him, and I saw myself. So I cut his ropes, freed him. He jumped up, roared in my face, and flew off."

Valka noticed how he referenced Toothless from "it" to "he" as the story grew more personal, watching this man her baby boy had become, so open and honest with her though to him, Valka was basically a stranger to him. His story was so close to her own, on that fateful night when Cloudjumper had looked right into her soul, reflecting herself back in his eyes on the night she was taken.

He took after her, and she hadn't even been there for him...

"I spent days trawling Ravens Point," Valka couldn't say she knew it, and she practically lived in the forests when she was a younger woman, "and thought I would never find him again. Then I found a couple of black scales, followed the trail, and stumbled upon a little cove. I watched him fly around, but he couldn't get in the air properly. I didn't realize it at first, but I had obviously torn his tailfin off when I hit him... I'm so sorry about that bud."

His apology was so sincere, the pain in his face so genuine that Valka couldn't find it in her heart to be angry with him after confessing he shot down the beautiful Night Fury. He went on, detailing how painstaking it had been to earn the dragons' trust with games and fish, learning to fly, and all the accidents that went with it.

"And then... Astrid found us and Toothless was prepared to kill her in order to protect me. So naturally, Astrid freaked out; tried to run. Toothless kidnapped her, traumatized her," the Night Fury looked away defiantly, eyes twitching to the side to see if Hiccup was still scolding him, "that is until she apologized, and then he took us on this amazing flight. We saw the Aarvandil's fire from above the clouds, and it was so... magical."

"And Astrid is?"

Hiccup blinked, then smiled happily.

"Oh. She's my betrothed," he then added with a warm smile. "She has been for quite some time now. We haven't planned a specific day to enter a proper Viking marriage, but it'll happen one day, maybe sooner than I expected."

Valka suddenly felt an odd feeling of... disappointment creeping in her bones.

My son is promised to a girl his own age. And why wouldn't he? Hiccup is beautiful, any woman would throw herself at him and see what he has to offer, I certainly would as well. Valka felt her cheeks heat up and she scolded herself. Come now Valka! How could you think like that? He's your son, and even if he wasn't, he would not want a woman half his age. Shaking off the inappropriate feelings manifesting themselves in her mind, Valka returned her attention to Hiccup as he continued talking.

"Of course, before I introduced Astrid to dragons she thought I was a dork and lost cause like everyone else, wouldn't even look at me if she could avoid it," Hiccup smirked at Toothless and spoke words of gratitude. "I guess I have you to thank for getting me a girlfriend too, huh bud?" Toothless huffed, then dropped down next to Hiccup and warbled softly, leaning up into the hand that ran over his scales. He then looked up at her, his face twisted with unfamiliarity before he spoke yet again.

"So... uh, Mom?"

Valka almost choked at the sound of that word, but for Hiccup, it sounded so... foreign and strange on his tongue by the way he said it. But for Valka, she'd never thought she would hear that word from Hiccup.

"Yes, Hiccup?"

"What happened to you? Everyone said you were dead, lost in the raids."

Cloudjumper was edging closer, warbling low in his throat as he approached. Valka leaned more into her staff, swallowing around the lump in her throat as that night haunted her memories all over again.

Hiccup leaned in, listening avidly as Valka relived it, fingers coming up to brush the little scar on his chin when Valka mentioned how he got it, that curious little giggling babe who didn't think the Stormcutter who took her was scary.

How did she not know then?

"H-How did you survive?"

"Oh, Cloudjumper never meant to harm me. He must have thought I belonged here," Valka beckoned Hiccup to follow her, Cloudjumper trotting alongside and Toothless following. "In the home of the great Bewilderbeast. The Alpha species, and one of the very few that still exist. Every nest has its queen, but this is the king of all dragons. With his icy breath, this graceful giant built our nest. A safe haven for dragons everywhere."

Hiccup looked at the Alpha, obviously surprised by his great size and she wasn't surprised, even Titan species were rarely so massive. Only a very few could sustain such growth, and Valka couldn't remember the last time she'd come across a Brute size dragon, even with nesting queens.

"Wow."

"We all live under his care and his command. Except for the babies of course, who listen to no one!"

She giggled as the baby Scuttleclaws scampered around, chased away from Toothless by Cloudjumper and all landing upon the Alpha, who shook them off with all the patience of a father. Valka bowed as the Alpha rose, the dragons following suit but Hiccup looked up, facing him without having to be told, though his face was utterly awestruck. She hoped the Alpha could recognize her son as hers and was relieved when he breathed out that little puff of ice, snowflakes forming over Hiccup's hair.

"Ah, he likes you."

"Is that so?"

Valka nodded as he brushed the ice out of his hair, causing her to smile warmly at him.

"I've lived among them for twenty years, discovering their secrets, learning their ways... are you hungry?"

He blinked at the sudden change of subject but nodded at her.

"Uh, yeah, I could eat."

"Good," she said while taking his hand in her own, her brain and limbs not consulting, and Hiccup didn't seem to mind. "Come, it's feeding time."

As the two dragon riders climbed on their respective dragons and took to the sky along with the rest of the dragons who were ready to feed. As Valka took Hiccup to the current feeding spot, and he looked quite confused but watched on as he saw her stand atop Cloudjumper, no saddle or grips to keep her there, only trust in her dragon and years of practice. She also had the opportunity to see him fly properly on his dragon for the first time, that intrinsic bond that was almost like reading each other's minds... it was visible to her with startling clarity as they soared through the air, following her until she and Cloudjumper stopped.

Hiccup's eyes occasionally wandered the length of her body, but Valka put that down to curiosity for the way she flew— standing up, holding on to nothing.

"Weren't we were going to eat?"

"Oh, we are!"

Holding her hand out to still them, Valka looked down pointedly with a beautiful smile, Hiccup following suit. Soon enough the Bewilderbeast emerged from the water below and released a thunderous roar, the alpha then began throwing fish up into the air all around them and she couldn't help but laugh at Hiccup's absolutely bewildered face. Seeing how much Valka positively lit up when she laughed, huge green eyes glittering in her flawless face, placing her hand on her stomach and bending slightly made Hiccup's breath catch in his throat.

She was so beautiful.

Once every dragon had eaten their fill of fish, Hiccup seemed keen on showing her things, pulling out a map he'd made of all the areas he found around Berk. Valka drew her own map to match his own, though her scale was a little grander— she'd been all around the world, so many times.

"There."

"Whoa."

He actually smiled up at her, and Valka's heart soared, she too returned his smile and... perhaps her mind was playing tricks with her, but she saw his pupils were dilated. Their attention on each other was interrupted when Toothless sort of ruined the map Valka had drawn in the snow with an icicle, but Hiccup's face suggested it was something he did sometimes and she chuckled along with him. Cloudjumper was rather baffled by it all, but he was showing some tolerance toward Toothless, even when the icicle was stuck onto the Night Fury's tongue.

"Come with me, I want to show you something."

The two Haddock dragon riders didn't go far, but she couldn't stop laughing at Hiccup and Toothless' faces when they floated over the updrafts. Hiccup, barely holding on to his saddle while Toothless' tongue lolled up, both smiling. It had taken a while for Valka to learn her balance there, and standing up was much easier than lying down to resist the upward force.

Hiccup watched her all the while as Valka stepped carefully from dragon to dragon, stroking them gratefully and smiling as they grumbled happily. She even dared to ruffle her hand through his hair when she leaped over him on Toothless' back, and still, he smiled, Valka was so very happy to see Hiccup responding as she did to all the ways that helped bond with dragons; touch and flight and food, no trace of animosity or resentment in his face as she slipped down from his dragon's wing, landing safely upon a waiting Cloudjumper's back.

"Oh, when I'm up here, I don't even feel the cold, I just feel..."

"Free."

He finished, both of them sharing a warm smile at the way he finished her sentence, knowing exactly how she felt.

"This is what it is to be a dragon, Hiccup!"

Hiccup moved then, fiddling with his saddle and the system he used to control Toothless' tail fin— she'd not missed how it worked with his own prosthetic, their losses bonding them uniquely— before he was grinning up at her.

"It's all well and good to call yourself a dragon, but can you fly?"

And with that, he literally leaped off the back of his dragon. Valka's heart leaped up into her throat, gasping in panic but before she could do more than lean over Cloudjumper, he spread his arms. Or rather, his wings, pulling fabric from his clothes that had him soar through the air with joyful laughs she couldn't help but copy.

She made to have Cloudjumper help when he almost crashed, but Toothless beat them to it and they both landed in the snow, Hiccup absolutely giddy as he leaped up only to be knocked down by Toothless again in indignation. Valka laughed while she skipped over the snow to reach him, examining the wings he wore up close in awe, the fin on his back to help him steer as a dragon would.

"Incredible..."

"Well, you're not bad yourself."

He didn't stop Valka, who couldn't quite help herself from patting down his suit, seeing all the little bits and pieces there were, her hand eventually touching his face before she could stop herself. She quickly withdrew her hand out of fear, believing Hiccup may not be ready for her to bless him with such affections. But when looking at his handsome face, Hiccup didn't seem upset in the slightest, so she dared to try again. As any other dragon would, he leaned into her hand, eyes closed in relaxation.

Tears stinging her eyes, Valka felt a smile spread across her face as she took him in, no recoiling like before when they hadn't known who the other was.

"All this time you took after me," she cooed out in heartfelt joy, caressing his cheek tenderly."And... where was I?" Her joy was quickly replaced with guilt, as it clutched at her; gripping fiercely around her heart but this wasn't about her anymore. "I'm so sorry Hiccup." His smile faded somewhat, but he didn't push her away like she kept expecting him to.

"Why did you stay away?"

"Truly, I believed you would be safer if I did. I knew I could never hurt a dragon, so how could I ever hope to raise a man who killed them with pride? What if I couldn't protect you? Cloudjumper meant no harm, even when I tried to threaten him to protect you then, but you could have died in that fire, and it would have been my fault."

His mouth tightened, but he nodded slowly.

"But I didn't die," Hiccup said while extending his arms out. "Here I am."

Valka smiled and took in her beautiful boy, who was now a young man.

"Can... Can we start over?" Valka inquired, her voice hopeful and pleading. "Will you give me another chance?"

Hiccup's reassuring smile made Valka's heart swell with relief and immense joy; he was giving her a second chance, and she would not squander that chance and abandon her son again.

"Will you teach me what you know about dragons?"

Valka knew that wasn't the end of this conversation— a few sentences could never encompass the two decades of motherhood she'd denied him or all the years of loss and grief left in their separation, but she'd give Hiccup anything to earn another chance with him.

"Everything I know," she said. "Take this, for example."

Night Furies were a mystery because they were so rare, and Valka doubted they'd discovered this yet. Toothless had to have been alone for some time though, as it was usually passed on through packs. Trailing her fingers down his head, she pressed on the right spot at the top of his spine, and sure enough, his back shifted so one nubby spine became two, allowing for better control in the air.

"Now, you can make those tight turns."

Toothless seemed almost as surprised as Hiccup, leaping over to show them off.

"Did you know about this?"

Toothless responded by clapping them together and grinning gummily— Valka had never seen a Night Fury retract their teeth before, and had assumed they must have shed them regularly when she encountered several with barren gums while others had full sets. So he taught her, and she taught him.

"Every dragon has its secrets, and I'll show them all to you. We'll unlock every mystery, find every last species. Together, as mother and son." Valka said passionately, she then laughed at the sight of Toothless diving in a large heap of snow and then burst out of the snow and send a large portion of it on top of Cloudjumper's head, the Stormcutter waited for the Night Fury to shake off the snow already clinging to his body before dumping the snow on top of his head, causing both Hiccup and Valka to laugh together at the sight.

"This gift we share Hiccup, it bonds us," Valka said as she turned to face the handsome man her son had grown into and placed a hand on his shoulder. "This is who you are son, who we are. We will change the world for all dragons, we will make it a better and safer place!"

"Y-Yeah! I mean, that... sounds amazing!" Hiccup said while giving his mother a warm smile.

"Oh!" Valka exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Hiccup and held him close to her, she had feared that her son would grow up to become a dragon slayer like his ancestors, but she was so full of relief and joy that her son took after her. A beaming smile graced Valka's face when Hiccup returned her hug after a few moments of surprise and shock, but the world and all the madness it holds seemed to have faded away at this moment.

Finally, as the two broke their warm embrace, Hiccup then exclaimed in excitement. "Oh, this is so great! Now you and I can go talk to Drago together—"

"What?!" Valka laughed out in disbelief. "There is no talking to Drago."

"But we have to try—"

"No. We must protect our own," she said firmly while caressing Cloudjumper's chin.

Hiccup sighed in frustration, but then groaned uncomfortably as a sudden gust of bone-chilling wind swept over them, causing him to groan in discomfort. Valka noticed his fingers were turning pink and taut— he had caught a chill.

"Are you cold?"

"Just a little," he then groaned loudly. "M-My clothes are damp, thanks to the snow."

"Perhaps we should head back," Valka suggested. "Come, we can get you warmed up and get you some dry clothes."

Nodding in agreement, Hiccup soon climbed on top of Toothless and allowed Valka and Cloudjumper to take the lead as they flew back to the Dragon Sanctuary, just as a blizzard came out of nowhere. The flyback would do him no favors, but there was nothing to be done for the moment— there was nowhere to make a fire out there as icy winds blew at an unforgiving pace and his clothes wouldn't dry in the freezing air. Sure enough, his teeth were chattering by the time they made it back, and his fingers were very stiff as he tried to unfasten his flight gear. Noticing her son struggling, Valka approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder, and inquired in a worried tone.

"Do you need help?"

"N-No," he reassured her. "I g-got it."

Valka's fingertips tingled at the thought of touching him, she left him struggling while she found something dry for Hiccup to wear. Cloudjumper knew how to light the firepit for her, and she banked on her boy's own dragon to ensure he didn't freeze to death at least. He had her physic, he wasn't much shorter than she was... her clothes would have to do.

Hiccup had barely even removed the gauntlets of his gear when she returned, and he was shivering more violently. "I always d-d-did get sick m-more than everyone else," Hiccup sighed with irritation, he then turned to her and her heart almost stopped. "C-Can you h-help? This-is getting more d-d-difficult."

She was by his side in seconds, helping him remove his armor one piece at a time until he was left only in the sodden tunic and leggings beneath it; they clung to him, highlighting a lean frame covered in wiry muscles. Feeling forgotten warmth tighten in her stomach, Valka turned back to the fresh things clothes she had brought for him.

Apparently, over his modesty, Hiccup tugged his damp tunic off and let it drop to the ground, stammering thanks as he threw on the dry one Valka provided him with. While his face was obscured, she eyed his lean, toned torso stretching, secretly wanting to map the plain of toned skin with curious fingers until she reached the autumn-brown hair along his navel.

"Uh, d-do you mind turning around?

Feeling her cheeks flushed in embarrassment that he caught her staring at his body, Valka also had to surprise the rush of disappointment that ran through her veins, as she turned away and listened for the sound of damp clothes hitting the ground, hearing his metal leg clink against the ground as he pulled on the leggings, making a sound of contentment that gave Valka a simmering heat in her gut.

"That's better," he finally said. "You can turn back now."

Valka did, watching him bend to roll the cloth up over his metal leg to avoid tripping on the material, then he stumbled over to warm himself by the fire. His damp hair clung to his neck and the sides of his razor-sharp jawline, making Valka itch to map the stubble, as well as the angular bone. Her eyes then wandered down to his lips, and she wondered if they would feel cold and wind-chapped, or soft and warm.

Gods, what was wrong with me?! She thought

to herself in disbelief. He's your son Valka!

It had to be the shock, followed by madness.

Valka never expected to see her son again, she had not been this close to a human that wasn't poised to kill her in years. Busying herself brewing warm honey ale, Valka cast another glance over at Hiccup again as he ran a hand through his damp hair.

Oh, he had grown into such a handsome man...

Stop it! Her mind sneering at her. Even if he wasn't your son, he would want a woman his own age, not a woman old enough to be his mother.

After brewing a warm ale, Valka added some honey into it and offered a cup to Hiccup. "This should help you warm up," she then added with a light smile. "It sure helps me keep my blood warm after a long day out in the cold."

He uttered words of gratitude and sniffed the beverage before taking a small sip, humming low in his throat as the warm refreshment spread warmth in his blood. Valka poured herself some, needing something to focus on besides her violently shaking hands, racing thoughts, and a slowly budding arousal she hadn't felt in years— such feelings long faded with no human contact. Hiccup's damp clothes went on the line near the fire, dripping snow-water onto the ground.

"So, while I defrost, will you tell me more about the dragons you've come across?" He asked hopefully.

Sitting as close as she possibly dared, Valka could feel heat radiated from him despite his still chilled-pink skin, Valka nodded and took a sip of the warm ale she had made for herself.

"Of course," she said with a smile. "I'll teach you everything I know if we had the time."

Hiccup didn't specify a leaving time, and neither did she. As he listened to her talk about the dragons she encountered over the past two decades, Hiccup's eyes were full of fascination and rabid interest, Valka couldn't believe she had missed twenty years of nurturing the dragon loving heart inside him. Perhaps then she wouldn't be watching the muscles roll in his throat as he swallowed, wouldn't feel chills crawling down her spine listening to his deep voice as it washed over her skin like sunlight.

They talked about the dragons and their adventures over the years for hours; daft things they remembered their own doing— Hiccup described the first time he had seen Toothless rolling around in dragon nip, and Valka talked about Cloudjumper trying to hang upside down from a rather unsteady rock, yowling in annoyance when it crumbled in his claws as he fell asleep. They slowly gravitated closer and closer until his body heat was soaking into her side, her coat discarded long ago as the fire warmed them both.

Hiccup yawned slightly, muffling it in his hand and Valka looked around to see Cloudjumper and Toothless had gone to sleep out with the other dragons, leaving the two humans alone in her "room."

"Wow, we really got into talking," Hiccup stated. "The fire's almost out." Gesturing to the low burning flames.

An awkward silence fell upon them— Valka only needed one bed, being the only non-reptile in her entire sanctuary usually. But now that a handsome young man who also happened to be her son was here...

"Well, I'll leave you to your own bed," Hiccup said. "I'll get some sleep with Toothless, goodnight Mom."

"You could... stay," Valka suggested quickly. "We're both adults."

Hiccup's breath hitched slightly, eyes firmly set away from her.

"I, uh... I don't think that would be a good idea."

Valka raised an eyebrow, watching him shuffle around awkwardly.

"Why? Are you worried I'll try something?" She inquired.

Hiccup shook his head, a voice suddenly low, small. "No," he then let a shaky breath and continued. "I-I'm worried I will."

Trying to disguise her unforgivable joy at the notion he wanted her too, Valka tried not to throw herself at him and indulge in the deprave desire she held for her son just yet. "I thought you had a fiancee," Valka said. "Do you not love her?"

Hiccup chuckled lightly and quickly reassured Valka. "Oh, I do," he said wholeheartedly. "I love Astrid, I do."

She then raised a questioning eyebrow and pressed him.

"But?"

Hiccup took the most hesitant, tentative step forward, testing her reaction and even in the limited firelight left in the pit, Valka could see his pupils were dilated, and a gentle flush was rising along his cheeks.

"But I've never met anyone like you," he said with admiration towards her. "I've met many dragon sympathizers throughout the years, but none of them compare to you. When I look at you... I see myself in your eyes; you're my potential." He then took her hands in his own and continued. "You may have birthed me, but you're not my mother," a disbelieving chuckle left his mouth before he continued. "I tried casting out the desires that hatched in my mind, but... I'm weak. You're so beautiful; not just your physical appearance but also your personality and love of dragons." As he grew closer, Valka pulled him in and the two shared a deep, passionate kiss, causing them both to moan against each other's mouths.

The kiss left them both very dizzy, but as they looked into each other's eyes, they could see that their irises were nearly consumed by their pupils which were ablaze with lust and desire. Valka gently cupped his face, one of her fingers trailed along the scar on his chin and then she pinched his chin and pressed her lips against his. Hiccup returned her kiss and caressed skin on the back of her neck, his touch was warm and sent a pleasant tingle to crawl down Valka's spine. A soft moan fled her lips when she felt his erection, solid and firm against her stomach. Both of them looked down at his raging arousal and then they looked into each other's dilated eyes.

"One night."

"One night."

Their agreement proceeded with them shedding their layers of clothes off, Hiccup's hands bunched her yellow tunic and helped her remove it. She then helped him untie her breast bindings until her upper body was bare for his viewing pleasure, Hiccup noted that not only was his mother very toned for a woman her age, but she also bore light scars, no doubt earned from fighting off those who'd see the dragons dead or possibly from playful dragons being a little too rough, either way, those scars didn't bother Hiccup in the slightest. He cupped her full breasts and massaged the soft, yet firm mounds of skin delicately, causing Valka to moan in delight and pull him closer until their lips met again in a searing kiss.

As their kiss grew more heated, the two of them took the time to remove the remainder of their clothing, the heat of their passion was making it way too hot.

When Valka was naked at last, Hiccup felt like his heart would burst from his chest as he took in Valka's nudity. She was flawless; light scars here and there, but from her braided auburn and white hair that fell to her pert backside, from the heavy curve of her breasts, the lean tone of her body from years of fighting for the dragon's freedom, and the light triangle of auburn hair that also revealed her sopping sex, all he wanted at that moment was to sink himself inside her, she was absolute perfection to him. Beautiful, experienced, and a literal goddess.

Valka herself looked upon Hiccup's lean, toned figure with wonder, her eyes mapping out every single freckle she saw. Her point of view was shifted to the boy's cock, which was standing at full attention. Gods, he was big, perhaps even bigger than Stoick.

She then took hold of his hand and led him to her bed and had him sit on the edge of the bed, Hiccup watched as she kneeled between his legs and took hold of him, causing him to sigh out at her soft touch. At first, she began a steady tempo of stroking, her thumb brushed his tip here and there, which only added to Hiccup's pleasure and causing him to take deep, steady breaths and try to keep his composure and not embarrass himself with a premature release. His eyes soon closed as he enjoyed Valka's touch, but then his eyes snapped open when he felt her tongue lashing out against his head, he looked down and gasped as he watched her lick off a bead of pre-cum which wept from his tip.

As Hiccup squirmed, one of Valka's hands pinned down his shifting hips, the other began stroking his shaft in time with her obscenely talented mouth. Their eyes met and Hiccup watched with bated breath as Valka began bobbing her head up and his cock, her mouth was so hot and that wicked tongue that was darting along his tip was so wet, it made Hiccup release a ragged moan while throwing his head back. She began rubbing Hiccup's thighs as she sucked his cock, loving the sounds he made as he enjoyed her mouth. Valka's rational mind was roaring out in disgust and shame, begging her to stop this madness, but she silenced that section of her mind and embarrassed the madness as she continued to pleasure Hiccup.

Valka pulled off from Hiccup's cock, a wet 'pop' filled the air as she then moved further down and began placing kisses all over his balls. The sharp intake of breath she heard from Hiccup was a good sign. Her tongue darted out, delicately flicking over the sensitive surface of skin. Hiccup jerked in response but didn't give Valka any signal to stop what she was doing, so she kept going. It was very odd for her at first. That was an area she would have never thought she would need to pay attention to. But as she heard Hiccup's moans of pleasure spurred Valka to continue, and continue she did.

One of Valka's hands stroked his shaft with a firm grip while her tongue was attached to his balls, swirling around them. When Valka opened wide to take one of his balls inside her mouth, Hiccup let out a ragged moan while also throwing his head back.

"O-Oh yes, M-Mom," he gasped while rocking his hips as she tried to please her son. Hearing gasp the word "mom" while she was doing this was so wrong, yet Valka couldn't find it in her to care. This went on for a few minutes as she then alternated between his balls, trying to give each one an equal amount of attention.

"I'm... I'm close," he eventually gasped, giving Valka a tap on the shoulder to get her full attention. Upon hearing this, Valka opened wide and took his shaft inside her mouth, swirling my tongue around his tip whilst bobbing her head up and down the length. Hiccup wanted to release and Valka was going to make that happen. With a final moan, Hiccup erupted in Valka's mouth.

Valka eagerly swallowed each strand as he came, feeling his release coating her tongue and sliding down the back of his throat. The sound of his slurping echoed off the cave walls, joined by Hiccup panting as each rope of seed mellowed out to smaller drips before stopping entirely.

When Valka pulled away, Hiccup gripped her by the shoulders, pulling her into a kiss that took Valka's breath away. It was inarguable that Hiccup would be able to taste his own release on Valka's tongue, but neither of them seemed to cared in the moment. Their hands pawed at each other, trying to feel whatever skin they could. After a few moments of this, Valka pulled away, gasping to catch her breath.

"Your turn."

Hiccup then laid Valka on her back and he took a brief moment to gaze upon his goddess of a mother, her beautiful face scrunched up with happiness, her eyes blazed with both love and lust, her supple breasts heaved up and down as she caught her breath, and her arousal filled Hiccup's nostrils. With a smile, then leaned down and began attacking his mother's neck with feather like kisses and licks, causing her to both giggle and moan at the pleasant sensations, Hiccup then winked at Valka as he started cupping her full breasts. They felt like soft pillows in his hands, he could imagine himself sleeping on those supple mounds soon enough. He then pinched one of her nipples and started sucking and licking on the other.

"O-Oh, Hiccup!"

The only thing that sounded as lovely as her giggles and laughs was her moans. Valka arched her back, pressing her breasts more into Hiccup's face as he was sure to give both mounds of flesh their much needed love and attention. Both her nipples were erect and wet, satisfied with his service as he then started moving down her toned body, while trailing kisses and licks along sensitive skin. Hiccup then trailed the tip of his tongue along her stomach, enjoying her throaty moans as she was panting on the bed, waiting eagerly for him to satisfy the fire between her legs.

Soon, Hiccup's head was between her legs and he could smell her aroused scent, it smelled like wild honey and it was an intoxicating scent. Hiccup wanted to tease her and leave her a happy but quivering mess, however, he was too impatient and wanted to indulge in the forbidden fruit that was his mother. After a few seconds of staring at her in rapture, Hiccup rubbed his hand over her folds, coating his fingers in her wetness before burying his face in his mother's smooth, naked sex.

Valka moaned with delight and started massaging her own breasts as Hiccup licked her, running his tongue along her lips, enjoying himself so much. Her taste was so sweet, as were the sounds that she made because of what he was doing to her. "That's it, get your mother nice and wet!" She moaned out while running a hand through his messy hair.

Hiccup momentarily parted from her wet, tasty lips to catch his breath, but he soon continued to please her with his tongue and started thrusting his talented tongue in and out of her, fully exploring her.

''Gods, yes, Hiccup! M-More, more!" She growled, clearly enjoying her son's ministrations and fully embracing the depravity of this situation.

Hiccup teased her lips with his mouth and he soon grazed his thumb over her clit, earning a squeal of approval from her. He probed her lips with his tongue and even flicked her clit, causing her body to tremble and for her to whimper more and more.

He then shook my head left to right slightly as he went up and down her vagina, trying to accelerate her pleasure, but not too much at first.

''H-Hiccup, you're so good,'' Valka declared. ''I'm so close, O-Odin's beard, I'm so close.''

Hiccup was now sucking on her harder and thrusting his tongue inside her as he gazed up at her, meeting her seductive eyes as she stared down at him. She reached down and grabbed his hair tightly, tugging on it and pressing his face more in between her legs. As if that wasn't enough, her legs wrapped around his head so that he was trapped. It was a delicious, forbidden, delightful trap, one that Hiccup didn't want to escape from.

She bucked her hips more and more before she suddenly grabbed one of his hands and then brought it close to her face. She waited for him to look up to see what she was doing before taking one of his fingers and sultrily sucking on it. After some time, she then moved his hand back down to her sopping sex. "Go on dear," she then gave him a sultry smile. ''You know what to do.''

Yes, he did. Using his finger that she had lubed with her saliva, Hiccup entered her sex with it and started to thrust in and pull out, over and over again, going faster and harder as his tongue continued to lick her sensitive clit. She clawed her hand in his hair, encouraging Hiccup to keep going as he brought her that much closer to climax. Hiccup couldn't believe that he was on the verge of making his own mother orgasm.

''H-Hiccup! Argh! I'm going to cum! O-Oh gods, make me cum!'' She cried out as he continued to take her with his tongue and finger, her juices splashing everywhere as her body rocked against his face as she rode out the waves of her orgasm. Hiccup rubbed his face into her, not wanting to miss a bit of her.

Her throaty gasps and growls sent tingles along his spine as she achieved her climax. As she finally released him from her grasp so that he could lift my head up. The moment he did, she grabbed Hiccup's hair and pulled him in close to kiss him, probing her tongue in his mouth and tasting herself on his lips. Once breaking their kiss, Valka pulled Hiccup to his feet, well, foot, until he was on the bed with her and both of them were sitting up on their knees and facing each other.

She then leaned in closer looking like she was about to kiss him, so Hiccup leaned in as well. However, he was surprised when she pushed him back so that he was laying flat on his back and she quickly threw her legs over on top to straddle him. Valka soon lowered herself onto him and grabbed his cock so that the tip was rubbing against her soaking lips. They both shared a heated look and waited for a moment. It just hit us right now that this was happening, they were about to have sex. The moment finally came when she pushed down and his cock entered her, seeing the pleasurable look on her face as Hiccup filled her up, it made the young man realize that there was no turning back now; he would never connect with his mother the way he always wanted to.

Valka soon started to rock her hips and Hiccup was thrusting upwards, pushing in and pulling out until she was bouncing on top of him.

She then leaned forward to place her hands on either side of his head and keep her balance. This meant that her breasts were close enough for Hiccup to reach up and grab and even suck on, causing her to moan with approval when he did both.

She rode him with shameless abandon, merely enjoying the fact that they could both indulge in the desires they have for each other. At first, there was seductive talking or witty banter between them. They were merely enjoying themselves too much to think about that, merging into one and becoming so enwrapped in this overwhelming feeling of love and passion.

Their eyes never broke contact as Hiccup now cupped her face and guided her down so that he could kiss her lips as he took her harder and faster.

Valka then broke their kiss and changed things up. To Hiccup's delight, she raised herself off of him, still holding his cock with one hand, using his thigh to balance herself with the other. Valka then rubbed his cock up and down her slick lower lips, the feeling already amazing. The fact that Hiccup was so close and yet so far was excruciating and he wanted nothing more than to be buried inside her yet again. She teased both herself and him a little bit more, before placing the tip so close to her entrance.

And then, he was inside her once again, causing both Hiccup and Valka to moan out in pleasure.

Valka eased herself down while looking over her shoulder at Hiccup, and he could see her mouth falling open in pleasure. She slowly took every inch of him inside of her, going still for a moment to get used to the feeling of it. I felt like he was floating as his cock was suddenly wrapped in her warmth, a tightness incomparable to any hand or mouth.

They both moaned as she raised her hips before lowering them again, slowly rocking back and forth on his cock.

"Oh, Hiccup," she whimpered. "You feel so good inside me."

"Y-You feel amazing too, Mom," He agreed, placing his hands on her curvy hips to steady her as she rocked back and forth on his length. Hiccup could stay like that forever, in that space with his cock buried inside her. It felt too good to be true, but he'd already pinched himself enough to know that this was real.

Now Hiccup was receiving a fantastic view of her pert backside as it bounced up and down on his glistening cock, her cheeks rippling every time she fully took him inside. He reached out, fingers rubbing her back fondly as she worked him, trying hard to bring about his pleasure. He bucked his hips up into her, driving into a spot deep inside that made her whole body jerk. Valka then leaned back, one hand planted firmly on his chest and the other stroking her clit desperately, the sensations of both Hiccup's cock inside her and her fingers rubbing against her clit made Valka see stars as she moaned out in absolute bliss.

The sounds of skin slapping against skin were guttural, obscene, filthy, and satisfying all by themselves as Valka continued bouncing on Hiccup's cock and when he would thrust up to meet her until they were flush, she was taking every thrust beautifully and making the most sweet, sinful sounds as Hiccup filled her over and over again.

She then felt Hiccup twitching and throb violently inside of her before she heard him cry out. Then a ragged moan escaped her lips as she clenched tightly around him, her sex accepting and milking every drop of his seed as he buried himself to the hilt and spilled inside her. Hiccup's hand had come down around her hips, holding her down against him as he rutted inside of her, Hiccup's body trembled as his thrusting began to slow until he was finally spent. Valka soon lifted herself off of his cock and tumbled besides Hiccup, both of them tangling together in a heap of sweaty limbs.

The only sound that filled the room was their heavy breathing and hammering hearts. Some few minutes had passed as Hiccup ran a hand through his sweaty hair, he then detangled himself from Valka's arms and rose from his mother's bed, and approached a nearby water basin to cleanse himself of sweat, sex, and shame that we're slick upon him.

Valka took in her son's nudity as he washed before she too rose from her bed and approached him from behind. She admired the shape of him as he stretched, all lean lines and wiry muscles. Except for his backside, which was pert and round and made Valka realize that while she'd never really looked before, she was quite taken with his cute bottom. She then embraced him from behind, gently rubbing her breasts against his back, and smiled to herself when he groaned in pleasure, she then placed a kiss on his cheek and nuzzled into his face. "That was... wonderful," she purred in his ear. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"It was," he said in agreement, though in a low voice. "It really was." His rational mind had finally resurfaced after being clouded in the thick fog of depraved sexual intercourse.

Gods, he had sex with his mother.

What have done you idiot?! You just had sex with your mother! You spat upon the trust Astrid placed in you to be faithful to her!

"Mmm," Valka's hands mapped his toned chest and she reveled in the way Hiccup tensed and his breathing quickened as she then purred in his ear. "Would care to go for another round?" Before he could reply, he moaned as Valka wrapped a hand around his cock and stroked him back to hardness.

"I-I... I shouldn't..."

"Come now, I would not have you return back home right now, not when it's freezing cold and dark," Valka said softly, yet firmly, her tone was laced with honey and seduction. "It would be best if you stay the night and wait until the blizzard subsides." As she continued stroking his cock, her thumb brushed his frenulum in a tender stroke, causing Hiccup to nearly choke on air and he leaned back against Valka's warm body.

"A-Alright," he said in a defeated manner. "I'll stay."

"Good," Valka grinned against his neck, while also pressing a tender kiss against his racing pulse point. "Come, let us return to bed." As Valka released his cock, she took his hand and led him back to bed with a coy smile, Hiccup merely released a shuddering breath to calm his racing nerves as he saw the raw desire blazing in Valka's eyes, it threatened to render him asunder.

This was going to be a long, unforgettable night for the Hooligan prince.

As dawns light filled the Dragon Sanctuary, Hiccup awoke to the roars of dragons nearby. While sitting up from his mother's bed, he looked down to see his beautifully naked mother still grasping his torso with a contented smile across her face. Careful not to wake his mother up, Hiccup slowly removed Valka's hold on his torso and got up out of her bed and began to collect his clothes and put them back on. Once fully dressed, Hiccup cast one last look at his mother, the woman who had birthed him, and the woman he had sex with for countless hours last night. He felt somewhat guilty for leaving her to go off and find Drago, but he knew that this was something he needed to do to prevent a war.

Making his way out of her bed chambers, Hiccup found Toothless being ganged up on by a pack of baby Scuttleclaws, the sight caused the Hooligan prince to snicker. "Well bud, we can't wait around for Drago to attack this place, we've got to find him first," while adjusting the tightness on one of his forearm gauntlets, Hiccup smirked at the sight of Toothless shooing the baby Scuttleclaws off of him and then glaring heatedly at one who was gnawing at his tail. "Alright bud, let's go."

"Must you?"

Turning around, Hiccup was face to face with his mother, the woman was wrapped in a fur blanket that covered her nudity, yet the look of sadness and concern on her face told Hiccup that despite the depravity they indulged in last night, she cared for him.

"I have to, I've changed the minds of many madmen throughout my life, Drago is no different," Hiccup said as he approached Toothless and climbed on top of him. "I won't let war spark across Scandinavia and let it destroy us all—"

"You cannot change Drago's mind! That... animal craves power, world domination, and the enslavement of both mankind and dragons. He cannot be reasoned with," Valka said through gritted teeth. "Hiccup, please, I... I cannot fathom losing you at the hands of Drago. Please, stay here."

Hiccup, when he sets his mind on something, nothing on Midgard will stop him. But seeing his mother on the brink of tears, her face twisted with dread and fear made Hiccup second guess himself. He knew that sooner or later Drago would come for their dragons, but why aggravate or provoke him into accelerating his plans?

"Alright, I'll stay."

Valka breathed a deep sigh of relief and approached Hiccup, taking one of his hands and pressed a kiss on his knuckles. "Thank you," she said with heartfelt gratitude. "Thank you Hiccup, for... for listening to me." She then looked into his eyes and gave him a nervous, yet hopeful look. "Would... Would you like to have some food with me before head back to Berk?"

"I don't see why not," he said while sliding off of Toothless and smiling lightly at Valka. "You do know how to cook, right?" Hiccup noted the flush that graced his mother's cheeks and could see her shuffle around awkwardly.

"Hehe, I can cook, yes, but... it certainly has been some time since I've cooked for someone else."

"I get it, this... was unexpected; running into you, getting to know for the feral dragon vigilante that you are, having... sex with you, and now getting to sit down and have a morning meal together? Yeah, it certainly is unexpected."

A/N: This ship is highly unorthodox, I know. But it deserves some more attention, in my opinion. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
