Morning came and Hiccup woke up feeling miserable after getting in trouble for going after Astrid and saving her life. His dad disregarded the explanation why he left the Hall and told him he couldn't watch him because he had Chieftain duty and stuck him in the Forge. He gets up and tries to figure out how to dress himself. Since he can't figure out how to dress himself.

He goes downstairs to see his dad gone and sighs "how am I supposed to go out if I'm in my pajamas and dad left for Chieftain duty?"

Five minutes later, there's a knock on his front door. So he opens it to see Ingrid Hofferson standing there and smiles "hi mom!"

Ingrid picks him up and smiles "I take it, your father left you to figure out how to change your clothes by yourself?"

Hiccup nods his head yes.

Ingrid carries him upstairs and changes him out of pajamas and into a regular clothes. After that, she takes him out to the Forge.

When she arrives at the Forge, Gobber ask "Mrs. Hofferson, what can I help-" and stops when he sees her carrying Hiccup and says "he was supposed to be here an hour ago."

Ingrid sighs "well his father left him in his house sleeping and when I checked on him, he was still in his pajamas. So I think he is giving up on caring about Hiccup!"

Gobber sighs "he left Hiccup alone in the house?"

Ingrid frustrated answers "yes, he left him in the house alone!"

Gobber smiles "I really think he's too young to understand how to work in a Forge."

Ingrid sighs "can we agree not to let him make weapons?"

Gobber smiles "yes, I'm not letting him make weapons, but he can look at weapons to draw and figure out how to upgrade them in his new sketch book for his birthday present!" He handed Hiccup a sketch book to draw weapons in it for upgrade.

Hiccup smiles "thank you Gobber."aw

Gobber smiles "your welcome, Hiccup."

Hiccup sat in a chair while Gobber explained to him about forging weapons, type of metal to use and how to balance it. After being shown types of weapons. Hiccup drew them in his sketch book.

Lunch time came and Ingrid and Astrid stopped by to pick up Hiccup for lunch.

Ingrid ask him "so how was your first lesson on forging weapons?"

Hiccup sighs "it was okay.

Astrid sighs "I'm glad your morning was good. My morning was boring because my boyfriend was put in the Forge."

Hiccup hugs her to comfort her and says "it was unexpected for dad to put me under the care of Gobber."

Once inside the Hall, Hiccup sits with Ingrid and Astrid eating a chicken leg. Ingrid smiles "Hiccup, no matter what people say or do to you, I want you to remember this: I won't abandon you when you feel sad. You can over anytime you need to talk to me."

Hiccup smiles "thank you, mom."

Stoick walks over and says "Hiccup, Gobber told me how your first went in the Forge."

Hiccup sighs "it was okay."

Ingrid sighs "Stoick, I think it was wrong for you to dump a four year old in the Forge to work!"

Stoick sighs "I put him in there so he stays out of trouble."

Ingrid shakes her head "if you wanted him to stay out of trouble, he could have stayed with me."

Stoick sighs "your already busy with Astrid than to be worried about Hiccup."

Ingrid gaped in shock, at him write Hiccup off like nothing.

Hiccup sighs uncomfortably and leaves the Hall without being seen by anyone and walks to the only place that feels safe to him.

After Stoick left, Ingrid looked down to Hiccup's spot to see him gone and panicked "oh no, Hiccup!"

Ingrid sighs "damnit, Stoick!" And leaves with Astrid to go comfort Hiccup.

Astrid sighs "mom, where do you think Hiccup ran off to?"

Ingrid sighs "the only place where he feels welcome at."

Ingrid, Alistair and Astrid walk to their house to go to bed for the night. Astrid sighs "aren't we going to look for Hiccup?"

Ingrid smirks "sweetie, Hiccup's in your room on your bed."

Astrid gaped at her mother and ran upstairs to her room to see Hiccup laying on her bed facing the wall crying. "How did my mom know he came here?!"

She decides to go to bed in her clothes. She lifts covers and crawls in her bed, wrapping her arms around Hiccup to comfort him.

Hiccup stops crying and stiffens to the feeling of someone snuggling with him and turns around to see Astrid laying next to him and smiles sadly "what did I do for my dad to turn his back on me and I don't mean anything to him?"

Astrid sighs "I don't know what is wrong with him, Hiccup."

Hiccup wraps his arms around her laying his head against her head to sleep.

Ingrid peaks inside Astrid's room to see Astrid and Hiccup sleeping comfortable and leaves going to bed with Alistair.

Alistair ask "are they asleep?"

Ingrid smiles "yes they are asleep and they make such a cute couple. They rely on each other for support and comfort."

Alistair sighs "I don't know what's wrong with this village because Hiccup hasn't done anything to make everyone hate him."

Ingrid sighs "if this keeps up with Stoick and the villagers mistreat Hiccup, Hiccup will only have us to consider as his parents for his protection."

Alistair smiles "Hiccup hasn't really been a problem for us as long as he has us guide him. Did Valka write anything else in her protection Will?"

Ingrid sighs "no, just to protect him from anyone that threatens him and to provide a home for him if anything happens to Stoick."

Alistair lays on his back while Ingrid nestled into his chest falling asleep.

Next morning Hiccup and Astrid sneak into Alistair and Ingrid's room to see them still sleeping and decides to wake them up. They climb up onto the bed and shake their shoulders saying "Good Morning, Mom and Dad! Now get up for breakfast!"

Ingrid mumbles "it's too early to wake up, you two."

Alistair mumbles "go back to bed you two."

Hiccup smirks "if you two don't get up then I'll going to get a bucket of water to dump on you two."

Ingrid sighs "if you do that and you will be standing in the corner for an hour."

Astrid smirks "then get up because we're hungry for breakfast."

Ingrid sighs "come on babe, we might as well get up since they won't let us sleep in more."

Alistair sighs rubbing his eyes "alright, we're getting up, you two wait downstairs in the kitchen until we come down."

Hiccup and Astrid smile at them. Hiccup smirks "race you, Astrid" after poking her side causing her to laugh for a minute.

Ingrid smiles "you two make good couple" causing Astrid to blush.

Astrid chases Hiccup out of the room yelling "come back here boyfriend!"

Hiccup smirks "I'm scared you'll beat me for making you laugh!"

Hiccup runs down the stairs to sit on the couch. Astrid runs down the stairs to the couch and tackles Hiccup on the couch, straddling his waist.

Hiccup laughs "okay, you got me Astrid. Now can you get up?"

Astrid smirks "nope, now I get to make you laugh."

Hiccup gulps "oh no."

Astrid starts tickling his ribs causing Hiccup to start laughing uncontrollably.

He complains "Astrid stop or I'm going to wet my pants."

Astrid stops tickling him to let him catch his breath.

Hiccup smiles "I like you, Astrid Hofferson."

Astrid smiles "I like you too, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third."

Alistair and Ingrid walk downstairs to see Astrid sitting on Hiccup's waist laying on him and smiles "are you two ready for breakfast or do you two want to love on each other more?" Causing Hiccup and Astrid to blush.

Astrid gets off of him and they head to the kitchen to have breakfast.

Alistair smirks "so Astrid, did you get your revenge on your boyfriend?"

Astrid smiles "yes, dad, I did get my revenge on him and I don't think he is brave enough to try it again."

Ingrid smirks "you two are just so adorable together."

Hiccup smirks "are you challenging me to tickle you again?"

Astrid laughs "only if you want to sleep on the floor tonight."

Hiccup sighs "I'm not going to take that challenge just to make you mad."

After having breakfast, Ingrid takes Hiccup to the Forge to learn how to strengthen a sword today.

Astrid decides to hang with the gang to play vikings and dragons. Snotlout ask "Astrid, where's your bestfriend at?"

Astrid smiles "he's at the Forge learning how to make weapons since his father threw him in there so that he didn't have to care about him."

Snotlout curious ask "my uncle doesn't care about my cousin?"

Fishlegs sighs "how is Hiccup taking it?"

Astrid sighs "he ran to my house to hide."

Tuffnut shock at the news, ask "Hiccup sleeps in your house?"

Ruffnut smirks "you mean in your bed?"

Astrid blushes, but nods her head yes "he calls my parents mom and dad because he sees them as parent figures."

Fishlegs ask "why do they care about him when no one else does?"

Astrid smiles "my mom made a promise to his mother, Valka to never abandon him if everyone else do."

Ruffnut smirks "do you two kiss alot while laying in your bed?"

Astrid shakes her head "no, because we're too young for kissing."

Snotlout sighs "my dad says that he doesn't think Hiccup can handle being Chief when he takes the job."

Tuffnut smirks "he can't handle people talking about him, he will probably walk away from everyone when they don't care for his orders."

Astrid smirks "oh their listen to him or face me."

Snotlout smirks "you think the villagers will listen to you when you get older?"

Astrid smiles "heck yeah, they will listen to me or I would be beating some heads in."

Lunch time came and Ingrid collected Astrid, then walked to the Forge to pick up Hiccup. She ask "so Astrid, how was your morning with your friends?"

Astrid smiles "it was okay, we played Vikings and Dragons and talked about how Hiccup is being treated in the village."

Ingrid sighs "yeah, it's very sad that Stoick is walking away from being a father to Hiccup to caring more about the villagers. I think family should be first before the village."

Astrid smiles "I told my friends that the villagers would have to listen to Hiccup when he becomes chief or deal with me."

When they arrive at the Forge, Ingrid ask "Gobber, is Hiccup done with his lessons?"

Gobber smiles "yes, he's done with his lessons for today."

Hiccup walks around the counter and gives Ingrid and Astrid a hug and then they head to the great Hall to have lunch.

Ingrid smirks "so Hiccup, what did you learn today?"

Hiccup smiles "I learned different ways of strengthening weapons and how thick a sword should be."

Ingrid smiles "well that is impressive."

Once inside the great Hall, Hiccup and Astrid go grab a plate of fish to eat for lunch while Ingrid grabs a plate of chicken legs.

While Ingrid is eating her chicken leg, she glances at Hiccup and Astrid and smiles to herself 'they'll make a great husband and wife when they get married'.

Soon Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Snotlout joins them for lunch. They talk and joke about things that happen in the village today.

Hiccup smiles to himself 'despite what the villagers think of me, I have good friends that won't abandon me and I have a mother figure and a father figure even though my real dad doesn't care about me'.
