(Haddock Manor)
None of them could believe it. All they were told to do was go to Hiccup's place and apologize to him for what happened on Wednesday, not that Hiccup knew they had been ordered. As far as he was concerned; the seven chose to come of their own free will. Regardless, after some fighting, and learning that Hiccup protected them; they did give a sincere apology, and Hiccup forgave them. And they were ready to sit back for a bit and get help in dragon where Dagur couldn't because he lacked the knowledge Hiccup had, or at least not all of it. However, the situation changed to see that they were in on of the island's freak blizzards. All transportation had been grounded. Planes, trains, buses, cars, and dragons. There was a ban in effect until the earliest, Sunday, which meant that they now were now stuck there, at Hiccup's house, by city orders. The only people out were those who worked for the town or rescue crews. This was shaping up to be a crappy weekend.
"You guys better call your parents and let them know," Hiccup advised.
"We can't stay here for two days," Ragna stated.
"We don't have clothes, or-," Camicazi began.
"You'll be fine for a couple of days. I have bathrobes, and laundry room to wash your stuff if you honestly can't deal with being in it for a couple of days. Guys do it all the time," Hiccup rolled his eyes. "It's a blizzard, and you're not allowed on the roads. Come on, Astrid; you're the mayor's daughter. You know better than to break an official city order," he added when Astrid was about to protest as well.
"Sadly…He's right. My father would kill me if he found out I was driving in this," Astrid muttered.
"Look, I'm no more happy about it than all of you are, but this is how it is. I would much rather be stuck with my friends all weekend, than you, but that's not how things played out. So, why don't we just-," Hiccup started.
"We wouldn't still be here if you weren't upstairs having sex when we arrived!" Eret accused.
"If I had a warning you were coming; I could have made myself more available. You showed up, unannounced, while I was busy. And not for nothing, but uh, I'm not stopping my good time just because seven people I severely dislike decided to come here to apologize for fucking up over jealousy." Hiccup said.
"Well, you could have shortened your good time long enough to talk to us," Gruffnut offered.
"Maybe you're satisfied with a quick fuck, but I didn't earn my title of being a God in bed by my girlfriend for quickies," Hiccup informed, crossing his arms over his chest. "You could have gone home, and come back another time. Or told me on Monday when I'm back at school. You chose to wait around for two hours, which is slightly admiral that you were so dedicated to apologizing, but that was your call. Not mine, so don't fault me for your decisions. Now, what's done is done. It's a blizzard; we're all stuck here together, so let's push personal feelings aside and try to get along for the time being? Okay? Can you handle that? Because if not, you can spend the weekend on the grounds in the stables with Stormfly, Hookfang, Barf, Belch, Spearstrike, and Silverwhip,"
"Wait, that dragon from Wednesday is here?!" Thuggory asked quickly.
"Yes, and maybe if you don't want to see what a dragon with a grudge looks like; you stop bitching like a bunch of sissies and deal with the situation. Oh, and maybe be kind to the guy who graciously decided not to press charges, and is letting you stay in the house during the storm, providing dinner…I mean, I can keep going…But something tells me that not even your seven are that stupid not to grasp the picture of what I'm getting at," Hiccup huffed.
"Fine, we get it," Eret muttered.
"Good," Hiccup said while going to what looked like a fuse box on the wall, opening it and then pressing one of the buttons. "Main to Stables,"
"Stables to Main,"
"Lock it down, and stay warm. Let me know if there's a problem," Hiccup said.
"Aye, sir," the voice replied. Hiccup released the button, then closed the door.
"Start calling home," Hiccup told the seven. Sighing, they started pulling out their phones and texting their parents, or just calling because it was easier. Once it was done around 7 pm, Hagen called to say the food was done, so they all moved to the kitchen around the counter where the large pizza was. "Nice work, Hagen,"
"I try to impress," Hagen replied with a smile, then he went to continue cleaning things up.
"Frigga. Call Liv,"
"Calling Liv."
"Hey, sexy," Olivia answered happily.
"Hi, gorgeous. Making sure you made it home safely," Hiccup asked.
"Got a little rough, but yeah; I'm good. How's Roo?"
Hiccup chuckled, loving the shortened name for Runa, then checked his watch. "Probably about to wake up in the next ten to fifteen minutes,"
"How'd that annoyance situation go?"
"Still annoying. They're still here, stuck with me until this weather clears up," Hiccup replied while grabbing a slice of the pizza.
"Oh, you poor thing. I should have stayed. At least I could have entertained you,"
"Will not disagree with you," Hiccup stated.
"Well, if you get bored; you have a hand," Olivia giggled.
"Doesn't even come close to feeling the same way," Hiccup rolled his eyes.
"So true," Thuggory agreed with a nod from Eret. Camicazi and Astrid smacked them in the arm.
"Ow! What? He's right! Masturbating is shit compared to someone else doing it," Eret remarked. Hiccup stifled a laugh.
"Okay…I'm gonna go, babe. I'll call you later to say goodnight to the little lady," Hiccup chuckled.
"I'll be waiting. I love you,"
"Love you more," Hiccup said. The call ended, then there was a beep. Hiccup shook his head, smiling, then took a bite of his pizza slice. Not more than two minutes later; there was ringing.
"Call from Snot. Accept or Deny"
"Accept," Hiccup said. There was a click. "What's up, cuz?"
"Dude, have you seen outside?" Snotlout answered.
"Yep. You and the fam hunkered down?" Hiccup wondered.
"As if my father wouldn't make us. Oh, the others are on this call too," Snotlout added.
"Hey, gang," Hiccup greeted.
"Hey, Hicster," Tuffnut and Ruffnut said. Hiccup rolled his eyes while taking another bite.
"Hi, Hic," Heather went next.
"How are you and your family doing so far?" Minden inquired.
"How're our dragons?" Fishlegs wondered.
"Dragons are locked down in the stables and doing fine. Parents are at the shelter with Cloudjumper and Skullcrusher. And lucky me is home with the staff and Runa. Oh, and Astrid, Eret, Camicazi, Thuggory, Gruffnut, Nadia, and Ragna…" Hiccup stated.
"Oh, you poor thing. Want us to sneak over?" Heather inquired.
"Now, I know I said I'd do anything for you guys, but I really would prefer not to have to bail you all out of lockup. Stay where you're at; I think I can handle a couple of days with them," Hiccup informed.
"If you're sure," Snotlout chuckled.
"Snot, your father, would murder you if you went against an order the police station he is Chief of issued," Hiccup laughed a bit.
"So, the dragons are okay?" Minden questioned.
"Yes, all of them are fine, Minden. All locked down in the stables with the crew out there to watch thing. Plenty of water and food," Hiccup affirmed. "Now, I'm gonna go so that I can eat dinner. I'll probably jump on the systems later and catch you there for a couple of rounds,"
"Alright. See ya later, man," Snotlout said. After another round of goodbye's from the friends, the call ended.
"Anyone else wanna call?" he asked, leaving it open for another set of ringing. Thankfully, it didn't. Hiccup continued eating his slice. Hagen brought over a can of soda for him.
"At least you didn't have work tonight," Hagen reminded.
"Seriously. I will Monday, though. Not that I mind; I kind of like it," Hiccup admitted.
"Why do you like working when you have money?" Thuggory asked.
"I like making my own; it's a pretty nice feeling to earn it," Hiccup said. "Now, just eat. We can work on that dragon stuff after," he added. Not arguing, the group stayed quiet while eating the food.
. . .
{7:20 pm}
When the eight were done eating, Hagen began cleaning things up as Hiccup got off the chair to stretch and twist his back, then neck. Both cracked slightly before he relaxed, then whimpering was heard. Hiccup turned the monitor up in volume, listening still. The whimpers continued a bit, then stopped.
"Not quite yet," Hiccup stated, and the group assumed that meant Runa would be waking up shortly for a feeding. Hiccup checked outside, seeing the blizzard in action. "When you guys came in, where did you park?" he asked.
"Same place as two weeks ago?" Astrid replied.
"Let me see your keys, both of you," Hiccup held out his hand. Astrid and Thuggory handed over their keys as Hiccup left the kitchen, and they followed curiously as Hiccup was seen giving the keys to two of the staff.
"What are they doing with the keys?" Thuggory asked.
"Putting your cars in the second garage of the Motor Court," Hiccup informed.
"Oh. Thank you," Astrid stated, a bit shocked that Hiccup was having their vehicles put in the garage. Hiccup just nodded, then began making his way upstairs.
"Are you coming or not?" Hiccup inquired. The seven followed him, not wanting to get lost. It was a big house, effortless to do if you weren't familiar with the layout. And even being that the group had seen it once, that wasn't enough to say they could successfully navigate their way around on their own.
. . .
(Second Level)
"So, where are we staying while we're here?" Gruffnut decided to ask.
"Guest rooms," Hiccup replied. "Though, you get to fight each other over who gets the bed or couch,"
"Is that what your friend do when they're over?" Ragna wondered.
"We all remain downstairs in the game room," Hiccup informed.
"It's not weird to stay in a room with all guys?" Camicazi blinked.
"Not really, no. I mean; we're all males. We have the same parts, just different builds. And above all, we're best friends," Hiccup shrugged while reaching the door to his room. "I meant all as in the girl too," he added.
"And your parents and their parents don't mind if you do a coed sleepover in the same room?" Eret inquired.
"For starters; I have a girlfriend, and I'm not about to be unfaithful to her over one night with a good friend. Secondly, Minden and Ruffnut aren't my type, and Heather is like a sister to me. And that's about the extent of my female friends. Well, there are others, but they go to school in their hometowns. Uh, Brenna, Katja, Signy…Regardless. All friends; would never sleep with any of them. Lastly…My parents can trust that it's just friends hanging out, and nothing sexual is going on," Hiccup stated.
"And…Olivia sleeping over? Your parents don't mind that? Or hers?" Nadia jumped in now.
"Well, they minded before she got pregnant. But obviously, they know we have sex, so why fight it? All they ask is that we're safe," Hiccup stopped. "Okay, let me rephrase that…Safer," he added. "Always using condoms, and she's on different birth control now," Hiccup got to the top of the stairs.
"Which one, if you don't mind me asking?" Astrid asked.
"Uh…I think it's the IUD that goes in the arm. A three-year one?" Hiccup replied, slightly unsure if he was right or not while walking around the balcony area that showed the Central Foyer below. Hiccup turned right and put his hand on the handle.
"Wait…Isn't that your room, over there?" Thuggory motioned to the door on his left. "That's what you said two weeks ago,"
"There was a bedroom switch since you've last been here. My parents didn't like having all the extra space, so we swapped; I have the master now," Hiccup informed, opening the door. "And be quiet because Runa's nursery is in here too; it's mostly soundproofed, but too much noise will get through," he said walking in and flipping on the light.
"Woah," the seven in the group eye's widened.
"Welcome to the Master Suite," Hiccup motioned to around him while standing in the middle of the what appeared to be the bedroom. It was a massive room, and all they could do was stare in awe of everything before them. However, the one thing on all their minds is maybe they could get to know the real Hiccup this weekend because they've been misjudging him for years, and it was clear that there was still much to learn.
