The night had gone easily after they arrived at the in law unit, it was late too. Hiccup helped Astrid in to the larger of the two rooms since it was closer to the bathroom for her if she needed to use it and called one of the maids to help her undress and get ready for bed. Hiccup waited outside, and then after she was ready he went in to say good night to her. She fell asleep rather quickly. Hiccup sighed and went to the extra room and fell asleep not long after. Now being morning they had a long day ahead of them, more so for Hiccup since he had to start moving their stuff to the in law unit, Tuffnut and Fishlegs were coming over to help him.

When he woke up, it was to knocking on the main door. Hiccup rolled out of bed and put on a pair of sweat pants going to the door, he assumed Astrid was still asleep as he expected her to be. The doctor had said she'd be very tired the first few days. Hiccup opened the door seeing his Tuffnut there, "Uh, morning..." Hiccup greeted him.

"Morning Hic. Did ya just wake up? Wanted to make sure everything was okay over here? Where's Astrid?" Tuffnut asked.

"Yeah, I just woke up. Astrid's still asleep..." Hiccup said, he saw two cars sitting in the driveway. One was Fishlegs and Tuffnut, he didn't recognize the other car though. "I told you guys to come at 10...not 7...Ugh..." Hiccup groaned softly as he stepped outside to get a better look at the second car. When Fishlegs stepped out of the first car, then the back doors opened, Hiccup could see it was Heather and Ruffnut. The second car housed Eret, Snotlout and Dagur. Hiccup sighed, he already knew this day was going to be hell served with extra heat and demons.

"Woah...so it is true. Shit, Borgeson...I didn't believe Tuff and Fishlegs ." Ruffnut said taking it all in. Fishlegs and Tuffnut came beside Hiccup nervously now.

"Why are they here!" Hiccup snapped at them quietly.

"Sorry Hic, my sister and Heather forced us to bring them. And I think they told Eret because he followed us here..." Tuffnut sighed.

"Morning son. How's the lass?" Stoick's voice cut through everything, walking over now with his hands on his hips as the faces of the teens turned to instant shock and disbelief.

"Well guess the truth is out now...She's fine dad, still sleeping." Hiccup sighed looking at them.

"Are you going to introduce me to your friends?" Stoick asked now.

"Fishlegs, Tuffnut, and Astrid are my friends. The rest are not." Hiccup stated firmly.

"Oh come on, Borgeson...We can start over, can't we?" Snotlout said with a chuckle.

"Like hell we can! You three can leave. Heather and Ruffnut can stay, Astrid is gonna need company while I start moving stuff..." Hiccup grumbled, he heard a door open and looked back seeing Astrid trying to get out. "Astrid, ha–hang on...Let me help you!" Hiccup said quickly moving to her side and letting her hold on to him for support. Hiccup helped her to the couch and she shivered a bit, the door was still open. "Oh for the love of Thor...Get inside, all of you and dad, shut the door please. Shoes off in the bucket." Hiccup ordered. They all rushed inside and did as they were told. Hiccup put a blanket over Astrid. "You okay?" He asked her.

"Y–yes...Thank you. Could you get my medication off the night stand in the room?" Astrid asked him. Hiccup nodded and went to get it for her, he brought out 3 bottles for her, opening them and getting them in his hand, closing the lids then getting her a water bottle as he held them out to her. "I only wanted the pain meds, Hiccup..." Astrid smiled at him.

"You need to take the ones to treat the minor infections too. Might as well take them all." Hiccup replied softly. Astrid took them and sat back now as Hiccup got a few pillows and elevated her leg for her before facing the 8 people in the room.

"Well seems you have everything under control son. I'll leave you to it. I will be leaving tonight for a few days to handle a situation." Stoick said.

"Dad, you just got back...You said you were here until the new year." Hiccup sighed rolling his eyes.

"I promise I'll be home in time for Christmas. I'm taking Skullcrusher." Stoick chuckled heartedly.

"Oh, dragon match?" Hiccup asked now. Stoick nodded.

"I'll be sure to catch it on TV. Safe flight dad." Hiccup said, Stoick hugged him and then left the smaller house. Hiccup turned around to see their shocked faces staring at him. "What?" Hiccup asked.

"What the hell, Boregson! Your dad is the famous wrestler Stoick the Vast?!" Snotlout yelled first.

"Okay first off. Borgeson is just a name I use in school. It's actually, Hiccup Haddock the Third. Secondly, yes. And lastly, stop making a huge deal out of it." Hiccup sighed out.

"So you aren't a loser after all. Man, you should of told us!" Dagur said slapping him on the back with a laugh.

"He was never a loser to begin with, you just never gave him a chance." Astrid crossed her arms over her chest, wincing when her wrist moved.

"This changes everything. You have to hang with us!" Snotlout added along side Dagur.

"No. This changes nothing. I knew this would happen...Look, I appreciate that you suddenly want to be my friend because you know I'm the son of the world champion wrestler and live in a huge house...but I don't care. I never have, and I never will." Hiccup stated to them.

"Why wouldn't you want to hang with us! The elite group!" Dagur asked.

"Because to me, it doesn't matter. There shouldn't be groups that divide everyone. Just because I have all this...doesn't mean I want to be thrown in to a group of others who have the same. I don't care about popularity. I just want a normal life with a few good friends." Hiccup said as he walked over to the coffee pot now and started preparing a full pot, once it started brewing he reached in to the cabinet and pulled out a hot chocolate packet. Then got hot water, tore the hot chocolate packet open and mixed it up together. Going to the fridge he got some whip cream and walked it over to Astrid.

"How'd you know this was my favorite?" Astrid asked taking it from him.

"That day in the café. And when you stayed with me for two weeks. Its all your ever drink, Astrid. I do pay attention to my fiancé you know." Hiccup chuckled at her. Astrid blushed and smiled softly at him.

"U–um...something you want to tell us Astrid?" Ruffnut asked, all of them looking at her now.

"Oh...I never took the ring off that Hiccup proposed with for the project. Its so comfortable that I forget its there until someone says something. Anyway...The doctors assumed Hiccup was my fiancé when he brought me in to the hospital last night so we went along with it. Now its kind of an inside joke for us since we have to act like we're engaged for the project. Speaking of, Hiccup shouldn't we turn the camera's on? I mean this is good footage after all?" Astrid asked.

"Good idea." Hiccup said as he reached for a remote on the table and pressed a red button.

"Wait...you stayed with him for two weeks? When?!" Eret asked finally speaking. Astrid turned her head from him angrily.

"After you abandoned her in the worst part of town and I saved her, I didn't want her going back home when her parents weren't in town, so I made her stay with me for her own safety." Hiccup explained. "And you're in my house, so I'd shut up if I were you. I don't have to let you be here right now." Hiccup warned. Eret closed his mouth quickly.

"So what happened? I mean, we never heard from you last night..." Heather asked looking at Astrid now.

"My parents are in a coma from the crash...I have a broken leg, and sprained wrist...Hiccup and his dad are letting me stay here...Hiccup's taking care of me until I heal or my parents recover, whichever comes first..." Astrid told them.

"And you're in here by yourself?" Ruffnut asked.

"Of course not. Hiccup's staying with me too. This house does have two bedrooms." Astrid added smiling now.

"You two, living here, alone?" Eret asked.

"Yeah that sums it up. Problem?" Hiccup asked now.

"No..." Eret replied quickly. Hiccup chuckled as there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Hiccup called, his father walked in again.

"Your dragon won't leave Skullcrusher alone, can you call him?" Stoick asked. Hiccup stood up and put his fingers to his mouth and gave a whistle. In seconds a small green and yellow dragon flew on and in to Hiccup's arms.

"Sharpshot...you know not to bother Skullcrusher...Besides...look who is back?" Hiccup said as the dragon nuzzled against him, he turned so Sharpshot could see Astrid and he got excited. "Be easy ok? She's hurt." Hiccup said. The dragon licked his cheek and crawled in to Astrid's lap happily.

"Hey Sharpshot. Aw, yes I've missed you too. Pinky and you would get along great...Oh crap...Hiccup, we gotta go to my house. Pinky is all alone!" Astrid said quickly.

"Relax, Astrid. You're not moving from that couch today. I'll go get her for you. I have a key to your house remember?" Hiccup said lifted his key ring from his pocket.

"Let me son. I'm flying right over there anyway. I'll bring her dragon here before I leave." Stoick said.

"Thanks dad." Hiccup smiled.

"Just tell her you're bringing her to see mommy, she won't give you any trouble sir." Astrid smiled.

"I'm not worried, Hiccup here is one of the best dragon trainers I know and he taught me all there is to know about dragons. By the way lass, you can call me Stoick. I'll be back soon." Stoick said as he left the house again. Sharpshot curled in Astrid's lap and fell asleep to her stroking his back gently with her good hand.

"That's the dragon that attacked us the other night." Snotlout said quickly backing up.

"Sharpshot is harmless. He attacked you because I told him to. He's trained to follow my commands." Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"Psh, yeah right..." Eret laughed. "Prove it dragon boy." Eret challenged.

"If you say so. Mind your hand, Astrid." Hiccup said, she moved her hand away. "Sharpshot. Battle ready, boy." Hiccup commanded with a snap of his finger. The dragon instantly stood up growling at Eret. "Tackle." Hiccup said. Sharpshot launched off Astrid's waist and tackled Eret with a snarl. "Good boy. Settle and come back." Hiccup commanded softly. Sharpshot stopped and jumped back in to Astrid's lap easily panting with his tongue out. "Lay." Hiccup said rubbing his head. Sharpshot then laid down and went back to sleep. Hiccup grinned at Eret now. "You were saying?" Hiccup asked him. Everyone began to laugh now.

"Owned!" Snotlout said as Eret glared at him and he stopped.

"Shut up...You think you're a big shot just because of who your dad is!" Eret told him.

"I'm not a big shot, Eret. I'm just smarter than you. This is why I refused to be popular. I purposely use a different last name at school so people wouldn't know. I don't let people come over so they won't know. The only three people who knew were Astrid, Legs, and Tuff. They were sworn to not say a word about it. But this my house and you are in it. Either respect me or get out." Hiccup stated pointing to the door.

"Astrid, you look kind of pale. Are you okay?" Heather asked now. Hiccup's anger faded as he looked at Astrid now.

"I just feel a bit tired...Must be the meds." Astrid laughed a bit looking at Hiccup. "Can you help me to my room?" Astrid asked softly. Hiccup got up and moved Sharpshot before he placed one arm under her legs and another behind her back and lifted her up bridal style.

"I'll just carry you. Doctor said to say off that leg as much as possible." Hiccup said carrying her towards her room and laying her on the bed, he brought in a water bottle and put it on the night stand and then covered her up and smiled. "Get some sleep okay? I'll take care of them." Hiccup told her gently.

"Thanks Hiccup...You're the best." Astrid yawned as she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Hiccup left the room and closed the door.

"That was so sweet!" Ruffnut exclaimed.

"Ssh, don't wake her up. Look, I'm glad you came to visit but I got work to do. You can come back later. Fishlegs and Tuffnut can stay since we have to move things from the main house to here." Hiccup said.

"Wait, we can help...more people and it will be done faster right?" Heather offered now.

"I guess but I doubt they want to help me." Hiccup said motioning to Dagur, Snotlout, and Eret.

"We will!" Dagur and Snotlout said together.

"Fine, I'll help." Eret grumbled standing up.

"Then lets get started." Fishlegs smiled. For the next few hours they spent packing up Hiccup's room with the things he wanted to move to the in law unit. No one argued with him and were sure to be careful with his breakable things. They'd bring things over and put them in Hiccup's room on the bed or floor. Stoick had returned with Pinky who was now curled up next to Sharpshot and both asleep. Stoick left shortly afterwards, saying he'd call Hiccup when he landed. Around 11am, they were done and Hiccup ordered pizza for everyone. When it arrived, he paid the driver and brought it inside. There were 4 pizza's each a different topping and 3 bottles of soda. Hiccup heard groaning from Astrid's room and he got up to check on her. She was awake and in pain again. Hiccup walked in after knocked lightly.

"You alright?" Hiccup asked smiling.

"I rolled on to my wrist..." Astrid whimpered as Hiccup sat beside her on the edge of the bed, being careful to avoid her bad leg.

"You're not do for another pain killer until noon...But I have something that might work..." Hiccup said as he left the room and went in to his own, digging through a box and pulling out something that resembled a deodorant stick then he went back to Astrid's room with it. "This is called a pain stick. I know it sounds funny but trust me. When my dad first wanted me to do wrestling training, I got hurt a lot and he showed me this to help with the pain. It works well for pain and sure muscles." Hiccup told her as she held out her wrist to him, he took off the brace, then the wrap and opened the stick up.

"Ugh...it doesn't smell so good." Astrid said plugging her nose. Hiccup chuckled a bit.

"I know but trust me...This might be a little cold at first but I promise you it'll get warmer and the pain will fade." Hiccup smiled. Astrid nodded as Hiccup carefully applied the substance to her wrist, she got a shiver when she felt the cold and then it turned warm, almost hot and the pain started to fade off, she smiled at him.

"Wow, that's incredible. I don't feel anything anymore except the heat." Astrid said as Hiccup began to reapply the ace bandage, then the brace.

"Heat relaxes the muscles so they aren't so tense. Makes them loose and when they are loose, they don't hurt." Hiccup told her. They smiled at one another as Ruffnut poked her head in now.

"Uh, you two gonna come out any time soon?" She asked.

"Is that pizza I smell?" Astrid asked. Hiccup nodded and she gleamed. "Can I come out and eat?" Astrid asked smiling.

"Of course." Hiccup said as he picked her up again and brought her back in to the living room and set her on the couch, he got her a plate and two slices of pizza. One was cheese, the other was bacon and pepperoni then handed it to her.

"Thanks..." Astrid said as she placed the plate on her lap and used her good hand to eat with. Pinky sat on her shoulder and licked her cheek happily purring. "Hey girl...I've missed you so much!" Astrid said happily.

"So what are we doing next, we finished your room." Tuffnut asked.

"Next is Astrid's. We'll have to go to her house after she tells us what she wants from there." Hiccup said looking at her.

"I'll make a list for you...Am I staying here by myself?" Astrid asked looking at him now.

"No, Heather and Ruff are going to stay with you. I'll take the boys with me." Hiccup told her calmly. She nodded and continued to eat.

"Will you get me a piece of paper and a pen?" Astrid asked him. Hiccup got what she asked for as she started making a list of everything she wanted from her house. An hour later now 12:30 after Hiccup gave her his medication again they were preparing to leave in his truck as he held Astrid's note in his hand which he put in his pocket.

"We'll be back soon okay. If there's a problem, call me." Hiccup said to her. Astrid nodded with the girls as Hiccup hit the lever and the two seats in front folded forward. "File in. Bigger in back, small up front." Hiccup said. Snotlout, Fishlegs, and Eret climbed in back. Hiccup fixed the seat as he moved to the driver's side and got in. Dagur and Tuffnut sat beside him. Once all seatbelts were on he started the truck up and backed out slowly down the driveway, he turned around and drove out the gate and towards Astrid's house.

"Nice truck." Snotlout said smiling at him.

"Thanks. It was my Christmas gift last year from my dad." Hiccup said driving down the street until they reached the house, Hiccup shut off the truck and unlocked the front door. He flipped on the light and got out the list Astrid had given him. "Alright...Get the boxes from my truck. Astrid's room is upstairs. We'll split the list up to make it go faster. Eret and Dagur. Get her shoes, sweaters, and coats out of the closet. Fishlegs and Tuff, bed stuff and clothes. Snotlout, you're with me getting her laptop, school stuff, and books." Hiccup said.

"Aye aye!" Fishlegs and Tuff saluted. Snotlout moved beside Hiccup now as Hiccup opened a box and started getting the books on the list Astrid gave him.

"Don't just stand there, Snotlout. Help me, find her backpack." Hiccup said.

"Right..." Snotlout said as he started looking around for Astrid's backpack. After 30 minutes of packing the boys began bringing the boxes to the bed of Hiccup's truck. Everything was almost ready, Fishlegs came outside now. "Where are the boxes of clothes, Fishlegs?" Hiccup asked.

"Well we did 4 of the 6 drawers but uh...I don't think Astrid wants us in her under garment drawers..." Tuffnut stated. Hiccup smacked his forehead with his hand out.

"Gimme your phone." Hiccup said as Tuffnut handed him his phone and he called Ruffnut.

"Yo bro, what's up? You guys done yet?" Ruffnut answered.

"Ruffnut, it's Hiccup. No we're not done. Can you put Astrid on for me?" Hiccup asked.

"Sure thing. Astrid! It's your fiancé!" Ruffnut called out, Hiccup rolled his eyes as he heard Astrid get on the phone now. "Hiccup?" She said.

"Hey Astrid. We're almost done except your umm...well we didn't know if you wanted us in your personals drawer?" Hiccup stated.

"Oh! Um...no I don't want them in it...But you can..." Astrid blushed deeply now.

"You sure?..." Hiccup asked again.

"I trust you...Are you coming back afterwards?" Astrid asked softly.

"Yeah, just gotta grab these. See ya in like 20 minutes. You doing alright?" Hiccup asked.

"Mmhm, just watching TV with Heather and Ruffnut. We made some popcorn, is that okay?" Astrid asked.

"Of course. Help yourself to anything in there, Astrid. Its your home for now. Be there soon." Hiccup said to her calmly.

"Okay. See you soon, Hiccup and umm thanks for asking first..." Astrid said shyly.

"No trouble. Bye." Hiccup said.

"Bye." Astrid replied as she hung up. Hiccup handed the phone back to Tuffnut.

"You guys load up. I'll be back in a sec." Hiccup said grabbing smaller box and heading back inside the house to Astrid's room. He opened the two top drawers and starting putting things in the box, he made sure to look away and only looked when he felt it was empty. With a sigh after 5 minutes he closed the two drawers, picked up the box and headed downstairs. He shut off all the lights and made it to the truck after locking the main door. He put the box in the back, strapping it down then got in his seat and drove back to his house. It didn't take very long, once there he backed the truck up in to the garage and shut it off. "Alright, that door leads in to the kitchen. Start taking the boxes in to Astrid's room and stack neatly." Hiccup told them.

"Who made you boss...?" Eret crossed his arms over his chest.

"Alright, Eret what's your problem with me? I've never done anything to you." Hiccup asked angrily. Seriously, he never had. Hiccup always kept to himself in school, he actually like being the loser because people left him alone to do his own thing.

"My problem is that I can't get Astrid back because you're always around her!" Eret snapped at him.

"Are you kidding me right now! She's hurt, Eret! I'm not going to throw her to the wolves to fend for herself or make her sit in a hospital for weeks waiting to heal." Hiccup crossed his arms over his chest.

"Ugh you were never a problem before this project! You're using it to get closer to her! She used to call me for help all the time, now its only you!" Eret yelled.

"For the love of Odin, Eret. Her parents are in a coma, she has no where to go. I have the room and the spare time to help her out so I'm going to and you're right. She does call me for help because she knows I'll be there for her like a friend should be! If you don't fucking like it, then GO! I don't need your shit. Your presence alone makes Astrid upset and don't think I don't know what happened at the concert when you grabbed her outside! I warned you to stay away from her. I should kick your ass but I won't because you aren't worth it! You're whining like a wounded puppy that you lost Astrid, and it's your own damn fault for fucking up! You thought she was cheating on you, with me of all people. Seriously! May wanna check yourself if you're worried about me getting with a girl like her. I'm not in to stealing girlfriends from people." Hiccup yelled. At this point everyone was watching, even Astrid who was holding on to Ruffnut and Heather for support.

"What is going on out here?..." Heather asked curiously.

"Eret being an idiot, and Hiccup putting him in his place." Tuffnut said simply.

"Doesn't surprise me." Astrid rolled her eyes with a sigh now.

"Astrid, come stay with me. I can take care of you much better than this loser can." Eret said calmly looking at her now.

"You know something, Eret. I'm sick and tired of you calling him that. But...If being a loser means that you come running no matter what time it is to help a friend in danger, being there for someone, talking to them, taking care of them...Then guess what. I'd rather stay with a 'loser' than an asshole like you." Astrid yelled out. "I'm staying with Hiccup, and that is final. You can leave. You've been nothing but a jerk to me since I refused to have sex with you. You put me in harms way for your own selfish, stupid reasons! At least Hiccup is a real man, I called once and he came running to save me. Same with the accident, no hesitation. No questions except asking if I was okay and where was I so he could come get me. He's never hurt me, never yelled at me, he trusted me with the secret about his dad on day one of meeting! Hiccup is 10 times the man you'll ever be Eret and I'd rather call him for help any day before I call you! Least he doesn't flaunt all he has and that makes him a proper gentleman. Stop being royal ass-hat because you're jealous that he's better than you in every way. I am never going back to you! I hate you!" Astrid said. Eret fumed as he whipped around to punch Hiccup, Astrid gasped but was shocked to see that Hiccup stopped it with just his hand.

"Big mistake." Hiccup growled as he twisted Eret's wrist making him hiss with pain. Hiccup released him and shoved him out of the garage. "Leave now. You've pissed me off." Hiccup ordered.

"Don't get cocky Haddock, I'll tell everyone who you are." Eret threatened.

"By all means, go on and tell everyone that little Hiccup Borgeson kicked your ass and is really Hiccup Haddock, I don't care anymore because no matter what I'll never be like you. I don't want everyone tailing me, I don't want a mass group of friends around me all the time! I have my 3 best friends, right here in this room. Its good enough for me. You keep saying you want Astrid back, Eret but truth is. She hates you for everything you've done to her. You messed up and lost her, now get over it. She's never going to take you back, especially when you act like a 5 year old who didn't get what he wanted for Christmas! This is your last warning. Come near this house, my friends, me or Astrid again and I will call the police for harassment." Hiccup warned him. Eret looked at all his friends. Heather, Ruffnut, Dagur, and Snotlout were disappointed and shaking their heads at him. Eret stomped away to his car now mumbling and drove off. Hiccup sighed facing Astrid now. "Are you okay?" Hiccup asked her.

"Fine...I can't believe him. Are you okay?" Astrid replied. Hiccup nodded.

"Can you girls take her back inside. We can handle the boxes..." Hiccup said now.

"Sure thing." Heather said as they took Astrid back inside. After another hour of moving things, the boxes from his truck were in Astrid's room. More time was spent until it got dark were Astrid, Heather, and Ruffnut were putting Astrid's room together and the boys were helping Hiccup. As the clock reached 9:30pm, Fishlegs left with Heather, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut. Snotlout's dad was coming to get him and Dagur.

"So, are we ya know...cool?" Dagur asked suddenly in the silence of the room.

"You two have given me hell for years since Jr. High. Just because Eret showed his true colors finally, doesn't mean we're cool." Hiccup remarked as he was cleaning things up around the house.

"Look Hiccup, we know it won't be instant but can we try to be friends? You're a much cooler person than him. You could be more popular than him even but you choose not to put yourself there and well we can respect that." Snotlout said, Hiccup looked at him now. He sighed finally.

"I've got a lot going on right now, as you can see. I'll tell you what. Prove to me that I can trust you as my friends and then we'll talk about it." Hiccup told them firmly. Headlights appeared in the driveway as Snotlout and Dagur nodded.

"We won't let ya down. If you need anything, call us!" Snotlout called to him.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Have a good night." Hiccup said as they walked outside and left with Snotlout's dad. Hiccup closed the door and plopped on the couch across from Astrid now, she was smiling at him. "Something amuse you?" Hiccup asked her now.

"What you told them about maybe being friends. That was...nice of you." Astrid said gently.

"It's a big maybe Astrid. Do they want to be my friends because of all this? Because I put Eret in his place earlier? Or because they genuinely want my friendship because they think I'm a good friend to have. That's the question." Hiccup sighed.

"Who wouldn't want to be your friend, Hiccup. You're amazing." Astrid said to him.

"I'm glad you think so. It's late and been a very long day..." Hiccup yawned.

"I'm tired too..." Astrid replied. Hiccup got up to help her to the bathroom, and waited outside. When she was done, he took her to her bed and laid her down, covering her up. "Sweet dreams, Hiccup." Astrid smiled yawning as she closed her eyes. Hiccup backed up turning the light off.

"Sweet dreams, Astrid..." Hiccup said as he closed the door to her room. He shut off the lights of the house and camera, then checked the door to make sure it was locked before he got in to his bed and fell fast asleep.
