Common city in the north of Colorado. It was small but the people were really welcoming and leaded by Stoick Haddock as the mayor.
He had two children. Twins children. Hayden, but commonly called Hiccup, and Meg. They were his proud. Also his wife, the love of his life. They were a beautiful family and what a better example for the rest of the Berkians.
But he was always working, so that didn't make him aware of the trouble in his paradise...

Hiccup was back from school, two bags in his hand from the pastry store. He entered his house, shaking the snow out of his coat as winter hit sooner this year. He was directly welcomed by his mom.

-"Hi honey, how was your day?", Valka called from the kitchen.

-"Oh you know, the usual.", Hiccup shrugged, putting his coat on the hanger.

He went to the kitchen to kiss his mom hello.

-"She didn't leave her room today?", Hiccup asked.

-"No. She stayed in bed all day. That's why I was baking a little something for her so she wasn't going to starve.", Valka sighed.

-"Oh okay. I bought her favorite pastries on the way. Hopefully it will help her.", Hiccup said.

-"That's really sweet. You might need to see her now tho. She wanted to see you all day.", Valka admitted to her son.

Hiccup nodded and hurried himself up stairs. He went to the door of the bedroom and knocked lowly.

-"Meg?"

He pushed the door and saw his sister sleeping in her bed. The shutter was still close, leaving the room in total darkness. Hiccup didn't turn on the light and just closed the door slowly and walked carefully to her. He put the bags on her desk and then went to sat on the edge of her bed.

She was hiding under her blanket, all snuggly. Hiccup then gently climbed on the bed and went to lay next to her, trying not to wake up in the process. But with all the rustling of the sheets, Meg stirred before waking up.

-"Hiccup?", she mumbled.

-"Shh, Yeah it's me. Just, go back to sleep. It's okay.", Hiccup whispered, reaching for her face and patting her hair.

-"You're back.", she breathed.

Hiccup heard the distress in her voice and brought her close to him quickly.

-"I am. I'm here now. You're okay.", he kissed the top of her head once she was against him.

He felt her shaking and heard her sobbing. His heart squeezed.

It happen two days ago.
The moment he walked into her room and saw her having trouble breathing and fainting right when he passed the door. She ended up in the hospital. The doctor telling him and his mom that she was under stress and she had anxiety attacks pretty frequently after checking her heartbeat.
It came as a shock for Hiccup. His sister. His twin sister. The one he was always looking for strength and self confidence. He never thought she was hiding her anxiety. And of course couldn't help feeling guilty for not noticing it sooner.
She came back home yesterday. Her face was pale and she was shaking a lot. When she came into her room, she broke down, Hiccup at her side and cradling her the entire day. But today was a school day. A day full of exams that he couldn't miss. So he had to leave her for the day but kept Meg in his head all day.
Now he was with her, again. Soothing and comforting as best as he could.

-"You're okay Meg. Everything will be alright. Just let it out.", he whispered softly.

Meg kept sobbing and clung onto his shirt. She was shaking hard.

-"Don't leave me Hiccup. Please. Ever.", she begged.
Hiccup bite his lip and hugged her closer.

-"I'm never ever going to leave you. I swear to God. I'll always stand by you. I promise.", he kissed her forehead.

-"No matter what?", Meg asked.

-"No matter what.", Hiccup confirmed, "I'll always be your twin. Even if you wanted, you couldn't get rid of me anytime soon.".

He felt her chuckling. That was a small win.
-"I'm scared. I don't want to lose you.", she shook.

-"And you won't. You have my word.", he caressed her hair as a promise.

-"I love you bro.", Meg sobbed again.

Hiccup swallowed, his tight throat making it difficult.

-"I love you too sis.", he buried his face in her hair, closing his eyes.

He waited for her sobs to fade and for her to finally let herself relax to sleep, before falling asleep himself.

••••••••

Valka was washing the dishes when she heard a knock on the door. She went to open.

-"Hi Mrs Haddock."

-"Ana! It's nice to see you! Come in!", Valka smiled and let her walk in.

-"Hiccup told me Meg was sick. I came to see how she was doing.", Ana said politely.

-"Yeah. It's been... difficult. Hiccup is now with her. You can join them if you want to."

-"Thank you!", Ana smiled.

Ana took her shoes off and went upstairs. She went to Meg's bedroom and knocked. She didn't hear any sound and was confused. So she pushed delicately the door and saw the room in the blackness, with only a ray of daylight coming through the spaces between the shutters.
She saw Meg snuggled against Hiccup and Hiccup sleeping peacefully. They were so touching and cute, she couldn't help but feel her heart warming. These two were literally inseparable and their bond was stronger than anything.

She closed the door and went back downstairs. She told Valka she will come back later cause the twins were resting. Once outside the mansion, she thought again about the Haddock Twins. She wished she could have such a strong and unbreakable bond with a sibling. But then she remembered. She had that bond. Not with a sibling but with someone that was like a big brother for her. She felt the need to see him, she wanted to hug him and feel his comfort. She took her phone and click on the calling button.

-"Yeeees?"

-"Hey, I was wondering if we could hang out. You know, between not related bro and sis?", Ana chuckled.

-"Now?"

-"Well.. it's only if-"

-"Yeah why not. I'm kinda bored right now since I finished my midterm exams. Besides it's been a while since we hang out too. I need to shuffle your hair."

-"Haha! I'll be there in 10.", Ana laughed.

-"Good! See ya later sis."

-"See later Jon."
