Hiccup and Astrid returned to Astrid's house after Hiccup calm down from Stoick setting him off with that contract with Oswald after Hiccup told Stoick no.
Alistair and Ingrid were heading to the mead hall when Hiccup and Astrid returned from the forest. Ingrid ask "Hiccup, how are you feeling today?"
Hiccup smiles "I'm feeling pretty good after spending the day with Astrid playing in Cove."
Alistair smirks "well after I got done helping Mulch and Bucket with fishing for the village, I heard that this morning from some villagers that Hiccup beat Snotlout and Tuffnut. Is it true?"
Hiccup sighs "I had a fight with Stoick this morning."
Alistair and Ingrid gasped at that. Ingrid ask "what was the fight about, Hiccup?"
Hiccup sighs "Stoick signed a contract with Oswald for me to marry his daughter after yesterday I told him that I said no to the contract because I was betrothed to Astrid. I told him that I secede in being heir now because they don't think I'm heir material and I cast myself out of Haddock house."
Ingrid ask "you cast yourself out of the Haddock house as in removed yourself from your father?"
Hiccup nods his head yes "it's only until he figures out which is more important me or the village and right now it's on the village side. And I was on my way to the house when Snotlout and Tuffnut wanted to beat me up so before they could touch me, I beat them both up after I already warn them that I wasn't in mood for their crap."
Astrid gaped at Hiccup "you beat up Snotlout and Tuffnut?"
Hiccup sighs "yes."
Astrid smirks "that is impressive for you to beat up your cousin and his buddy."
Alistair curious ask "you know that with your fight with your ex-father earlier and with how you beat both Snotlout and Tuffnut, the villagers will probably believe that you are dangerous around others?"
Hiccup shakes his head "no, I don't care what the village thinks of me now since they stop caring about me after the visiting the Meatheads Tribe."
Astrid smiles and wraps her arms around him and says "no matter how angry you get, you will always have me to stay by your side forever."
Hiccup nuzzles her neck in response. Alistair and Ingrid headed to the mead hall with Hiccup and Astrid following them.
When they reach the mead hall, Hiccup enter and everyone stop talking to stare at him. Hiccup sighs "who cares what they think of me."
As he walks over to a table to grab a chicken leg to eat, a villager whispers to another "he cast himself out of the house of Haddock."
Another whispers "he beat Snotlout and Tuffnut in a two on one fight."
Another whispers "yeah, I saw that fight and I was shocked that little Hiccup beat those two boys."
Another whispers "Tuffnut's sister said that she was going to beat him up when she sees him again."
Hiccup sighs "great, more people to fight. Sometimes I wish I could disappear from this village for a couple years to live my life and not worry about this village anymore because they don't deserve me."
He sits down with the Hoffersons eating dinner.
Alistair smiles "are you okay, Hiccup?"
Hiccup sighs "I feel like this village doesn't deserve to have me here."
Alistair smiles "Hiccup, I believe you will find out what you are when you find out what you can do, so be patient for now. Ingrid told me how you befriended a dragon, even though it's against village law, are you trying to train her?"
Hiccup sighs "it's a piece to the puzzle of what is going on at the dragon nest."
Alistair ask "you been to the nest?"
Hiccup shakes his head "no, I mean something is causing dragons to raid us and my only clue is Azula that isn't hostile to me. So I was thinking of having Azula carry me to the dragon nest to investigate it but it would have to be secret mission that the villagers can't know about it."
Ingrid curious ask him "how do you know that something is forcing them to attack us?"
Hiccup sighs "their eyes."
Alistair ask "what do you mean by their eyes?"
Hiccup sighs "non threatening dragon, their eyes are wider. Threaten dragon, their eyes are slit with showing their ability. Nadders with their tails spiked and nightmares are flame up."
Ingrid smiles "you sure are brighter than the villagers around here."
Astrid smirks "that's why I like him, he's very clever with that brain of his."
Hiccup blushes at Astrid's comment and says "I like you too, Astrid."
As they ate dinner, Ruffnut pounds the table in front of Hiccup's face and growls "the only one who can put their hands on my brother is me!"
Hiccup sighs "Ruffnut, your brother try hitting me first and I defend myself and I was already angry, so if you want a beating too, I'll be glad to make you kiss the ground as well!"
Ruffnut takes a step back from shock of Hiccup's response.
Alistair smiles "Ruffnut?"
Ruffnut turns to Mr. Hofferson to see what he wants.
Alistair smiles "I think it would be good for you to leave Hiccup alone right now unless you want him to send you to the healers hut for bothering an angry boy who has been angry all day with his father."
Ruffnut smirks "you think I'm scared of little Hiccup the useles-"
Next thing everyone sees is Ruffnut laying on the floor holding her jaw and an angry Hiccup growling "call me useless again and I'll send you to the healers with more than a sore jaw!" Hiccup leaves the mead Hall and heads to the Hofferson's house to draw sketches.
Ingrid looks at her husband "did Hiccup just punch a girl in the jaw?"
Alistair sighs "he's had a rough day today and she called him useless twice after he warned her."
Ingrid sighs "do you think Astrid would be safe around him?"
Alistair smiles "dear, I'm sure he wouldn't hurt our daughter in anger."
Ingrid sighs "how can you be so sure of that?"
Astrid smiles "because all I have to do is hold him until he calms down and relaxes, which I better go find him before he hurts someone or himself."
Alistair and Ingrid watch their daughter leave to go find her friend.
Stoick curious about Hiccup's change of mood to insult and demands of others to find comfort in darkness.
Gobber ask "what happened to Hiccup? He's like easy to get angry over anything."
Stoick sighs "I don't know what to do with him."
Gobber sighs "are you going to let him marry Astrid when they get older?"
Stoick sighs "I think it's best to let him live his own life how he wants it."
Hiccup sat on Astrid's bed drawing Azula in non threatening manner when Astrid walks in her room to see him and says "I been looking for you since you left the mead hall."
Hiccup smiles "sorry to worry you, milady."
Astrid blushes at his comment and curious ask "what are you drawing?"
Hiccup smiles "I'm drawing Azula in a non threatening manner for difference between a friendly dragon and a threatening dragon."
Astrid sits down on her bed watching Hiccup draw a Azula.
As the drawing was coming together, Astrid smiles "you draw really amazing pictures, Hiccup."
Hiccup smiles "thanks, Astrid."
After the drawing was done, Astrid looks at the drawing and says "it's perfect."
Alistair and Ingrid open Astrid's bedroom door to see Astrid and Hiccup sitting on her bed staring at a sketch book and ask "what are you two looking at?"
Hiccup shows them the drawing of Azula and smiles "this is Azula the black dragon that I encountered."
Alistair curious ask "Hiccup, is this the dragon experiment your secretly working to try and understand them?"
Hiccup nods his head "yes, and first thing I learn was that the first step to offer friendship was to give them a fish."
Astrid smiles "so, dragon boy, you plan on training a dragon to help against the raids?"
Hiccup blushes at her nickname for him and sighs "I don't know if I could train a dragon since I'm only five years old."
Alistair and Ingrid smiles "good night and sweet dreams you two."
Hiccup curious ask "how do you know to trust us sleeping together and not do anything bad that we don't know what is bad?"
Ingrid sighs and walks over to Astrid's bed and kneels down to their eye level and says "because you been coming here since you were three years old to sleep when you couldn't fall asleep easily and I figured it out."
Astrid ask "what did you figure out?"
Ingrid smirks "you, Hiccup, found comfort in my daughter no matter how bad things happen to you, you always find peace in Astrid like your equal, so in other words, you found your soulmate in my daughter and will do anything to keep her happy. Same with Astrid, so no matter how mad you two get at each other, I believe you two will work it out later and be romantic couple again."
Hiccup and Astrid hug Ingrid and Alistair and tell them "good night."
Hiccup sets his sketch book on the floor and snuggles under the furs while Astrid faces away from Hiccup closing her eyes to sleep.
In the morning, Astrid was nestled in the crook of Hiccup's neck sleeping while her arms were wrapped around Hiccup and his arms around her back sleeping soundly. Hiccup whispers "is it morning already?"
Astrid whispers "let's sleep more, I'm too comfortable to get up right now."
Hiccup sighs "me too, but if I don't get up and go to the Forge to learn how to make weapons, then I won't be helping the villagers defend themselves against those controlled dragons."
Astrid grunts in frustration of having to get up from a comfortable position. Hiccup smiles "I would love to stay here and lay in bed with you and draw circles on your back."
Astrid blushes at him and moans from affection of her back being rubbed and they both get up to change out of their pajamas. Hiccup walked to the spare bedroom to change out of his pajamas while Astrid change out her pajamas.
After changing into clothes, they head downstairs to see Alistair and Ingrid making breakfast. Ingrid smiles "did you two sleep okay last night?"
Astrid smiles "we slept good together without any nightmares last night."
Alistair smiles "well that's comfort to know you both didn't have any nightmares last night."
Ingrid smirks "are you two hungry for breakfast?"
Hiccup smiles "yes we're hungry, what are we having for breakfast?"
Alistair smiles "we're having pancakes for breakfast."
Astrid smiles "yay, pancakes!"
Ingrid laughs at her daughter's excitement.
Alistair and Ingrid have three blueberry pancakes while Hiccup and Astrid have one blueberry pancake.
After having breakfast, Alistair walked Hiccup to the Forge to make sure Snotlout didn't bullied him even though Hiccup started displaying some dark attitude from the village.
Snotlout, the twins- Tuffnut and Ruffnut watched Mr. Hofferson walk Hiccup to the Forge in anger because Hiccup embarrassed him and the twins "we'll wait until he's alone to punish him."
Alistair smiles "now, remember Hiccup to wait until Ingrid comes to pick you up at lunch."
Hiccup smiles "yes, I know not to leave the Forge without adult supervision."
Gobber smiles "hey Hiccup, ready to learn more about forging weapons?"
Hiccup smiles "as ready as I'll ever be."
Alistair and Gobber laugh at Hiccup's joke.
After this story, I'll be writing two stories over Wolfblood.
