Stoick found himself just standing there thinking, specifically about Hiccup. It took him longer than he would like to admit, to realize that Night had taken off his helmet. Night had his back turned to the door with his face buried in the scales of his dragon companion. The two of them looked comfortable together. They clearly had a bond that stretched years, they trusted each other with their lives. He stood there is silence for a few minutes just watching the sleeping pair, he was amazed by the beast in his house, it was so quiet and calm. Nothing like they thought them to be, this creature was intelligent and caring. The longer he watched the two, the more familiar this Night seemed to be. A sudden moan from the boy surprised him and actually caused a panicked feeling pass through him as he turned and quickly made his way down the stairs. A new determination to find out who Night actually was.

Hiccup couldn't really sleep, he was, to be frank on edge. He had taken his mask off to sleep, yet he was still so uncomfortable being back in this house and knowing that his father was just down the stairs. Himself and Toothless had curled up on the floor in the back corner of the room. He had fallen asleep but that was only for about 20 minutes, then he heard the creaking of the steps. No doubt Stoick was coming to make sure they hadn't run off. He could feel the man staring at him but he continued to pretend to sleep, his head buried in Toothless' side. After what felt like forever Night let out a moan, which seemed to throw Stoick into action as he gathered himself and left down the stairs.

Night just layed there tucked into Toothless side for a few minutes just be safe. Once he was sure that Stoick was gone he rolled on to his back and let out a sigh. How much longer could really keep his identity from the village, Gobber already knew and he could tell that Stoick had his suspicions on who he was. There just so many things to think about he needed to clear his head and get out of this house before he lost his mind.

He woke up Toothless and they snuck out of the house out the back door. Hiccup didn't have a specific destination in mind, but apparently Toothless did because he speeds into the forest. Before Hiccup even knew it they had reached the cove. When Toothless landed Hiccup hoped off and walked around looking. Everything was the same, well the foliage had grown but other than that everything was the same. The shield was still wedged between the rocks,now covered in rust and weathered but you could still see the pattern that was painted on it. As he walked closer to the water he could see his old dagger now rusted just like the shield. He was always happy to be here. Together Hiccup and Toothless moved over to their favorite of the tree and got comfortable.

Hiccup had just been laying against Toothless lost in his own thought, he just couldn't decide if he was going to tell the village who he really was. He could tell that Toothless had fallen back asleep which wasn't really surprising because he always likes getting his sleep. Hiccup spent who knows how long sitting there in his own thoughts when an idea popped into his head. He knew how he was going to solve his problem. It was perfect, no one would expect this and really it would be entertaining.

Suddenly one of Toothless' snores brought him out of his thoughts and he looked around. How long had they been sitting in the cove? He knew they needed to get back to the village because if they woke up and he wasn't there, there was no way that they would listen to him. So he woke up Toothless again and headed back toward the village. They snuck back in the back door and quietly into his room where they curled up on the ground and with his new plan in mind he drifted off into a nice sleep.

Stoick found himself lying awake, the sun would be up in about a half an hour but he didn't want to start his day yet. He could hear his two guests sleeping upstairs their light snores the only noise in the house. He couldn't help but be angry that they were staying in Hiccup's room. But they need a place to stay and he wanted to keep an eye on them. Eventually, he got up and decided that he wasn't going to get anything done laying in bed. He was in the kitchen cooking himself breakfast when he heard movement from the top floor of the house, they must have woken up. He took his food and took his place in his chair.

Hiccup could smell something cooking on the first floor. His stomach let out a grumble and he realized how hungry he really was. Toothless cooed beside him.

"Let's go get food. I'M hungry." typical Toothless always concerned with food.

"Yeah, we'll go out on a flight, but I have to do something before we leave, okay bud," he was going to put his plan in action. They both got up and ready to head down the stairs. Together they headed down the stairs, to enact Hiccups plan. Behind them on the desk sat o black helmet.

Stoick didn't bother looking up as the duo made their way down the stairs. It wasn't until they were sitting in front of him that he looked up. And he was met with something that he never thought that he would see again.

Short I know but I hope that you enjoyed my little cliffy. Sorry, it took so long to update but with Christmas break coming up I hope that I can update sooner
