Hi again! so... this whole thing is really complicated and I'm sure I'll clear it all up in the next chapter. I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD or ROTG (but that doesn't really come out in this chapter...)
"Toothless." I said tensely. "What are you doing here?" Toothless just grinned at me, his vampire-teeth glimmering in the lamplight.
"Why, I'm here to see you, little brother." He said pleasantly. He leisurely looked at a picture frame I had.
"I'm not your little brother," I growled. "Not anymore, at least." What is he doing here? I haven't seen or heard of him in the past half a century!
"We are still related, Hiccup, like it or not." Toothless said, growling in his own way. He picked up the picture frame and turned it toward me. In it, there was a picture of me and Jack, our eyes crinkled as we smiled at the camera. "Who's this?"
"None of your business," I said, snatching that away from him. Or tried to, at least; he was too fast and moved out of my way in a split second.
"Of course it's my business." Toothless said, looking at the picture, then at me. "I'm your brother, Hiccup, you can't hide anything from me." His voice was sad, comforting even, but I wasn't going to fall for it.
"We separated fifty years ago, and you know it." I said. "Why are you really here?"
"I'm really here because during the last fifty years, all I could think about was you, Little Brother. I've been worried sick and I just want to know that you're okay." Toothless said. There was truth present in his statement, but I knew there was always deceit somewhere.
"You could have called, or sent a bat. You really could have done anything else, rather than breaking into my house and rummaging through my stuff." I said plainly. Toothless put the picture down gently, and took a deep breath. He swallowed harshly.
"I smell a human. Has one been around?" He asked, basically licking his lips with his bizarrely forked tongue.
"The people around here are good. I won't allow you to kill any of them." I snarled menacingly.
"You seem oddly worried about people's well-being all of a sudden." Toothless aid, inspecting his sharp nails. "Maybe it's that you've fallen in love with one?" He suggested. I froze.
"That's not true." I said, my throat tight and my tongue too thick for my mouth.
"It's so true." Toothless said, seeing right through me. "You know we aren't supposed to." He said, suddenly caring. He put his hand on my shoulder.
"It's not like I can control who I fall in love with, bud." I said, the old nickname falling out of my mouth without warning.
"You could be in so much trouble," Toothless said. "You know that, right?"
"Yes, obviously, I do." I replied. "But there's nothing I can do about it. Nothing you can do about it either, so just go."
"I can't do that." He said, hugging me briefly. "Haven't you missed me after all these years?" He asked.
"I'll hardly miss someone who wanted me gone in the first place." I said harshly.
"Well what was I supposed to do when you just come out and say that you don't want to kill any more humans?" Toothless said defensively.
"What you could have done was have us part ways peacefully." I said. "Rather than disowning me and throwing me to the curb like unwanted garbage."
"We kill things, Hiccup." Toothless said, the anger in his voice apparent. "It's who we are and we can't escape it, no matter how hard we try."
"But those innocent people never did anything to us!" I argued. "Why kill them when we could find an alternative?"
"Because that's the way things are!" Toothless insisted. "Humans take things for granted, and we take advantage. They have killed hundreds of us…!"
"And we've killed thousands of them!" I yelled back. "I don't care at this point. Be mad at me, take this out of me, but don't you dare try to hurt those good people that live here!"
"It's only because you're in love!" My ex-brother said, hate in his eyes. "You just don't want him hurt!"
"Yes, okay?" I said. "And if you got a problem with it, you can leave! I'm not putting up with you, Toothless. Not now."
"Yeah, not now, especially since you have your little boy-toy to mess around with." Toothless mumbled.
"You need to stop." I growled. "You need to stop and get out of this fucking town. I was perfectly fine without you."
"Of course you were, Hiccup." Toothless said. "You've just been going to school, and stealing from blood banks, and hanging out with your boyfriend!"
"You've been stalking me?" Hiccup said, outraged. "Why the hell would you do something like that Toothless?"
"Because I don't care what happened back then, Hiccup." Toothless said. "I may not agree with you but you're still my brother."
Hiccup didn't know whether to be creeped out or flattered by Toothless' actions.
"Just… just go, bud." Hiccup said, defeated. "Get out of here."
"Are… are you serious?" Toothless said.
"I'm fucking serious, now get the fuck away from here! I don't want to see you anywhere near here!" Hiccup yelled. With that, Toothless stormed out of his house, and ran away from the town and his brother.
sorry for the fight, y'all.
Review?
