Kids will be kids Story 2: Stomach Ache
It was one have those days in Berk well it's everyday in Berk at dinner where we can all see the disgusting thing in front have you. Snotlout stuffing his face with food. A lot of it.
"Does he ever stop?"Hiccup whispered as he and the others watched Snotlout downed the food. The others shrugged.
"Eventually." Astrid grumbled.
"Is some have that even fresh?" Fishlegs asked as he shivered in disgust of it all.
"Snotlout slow down I'm getting full by just looking at you!" Astrid said in disgust.
"I know your worried about me beautiful. But unlike the rest have these wimps in here. I gotta keep my strength up high to keep on being the best viking in the world. Besides I'm a growing boy and real vikings has a stomach have steal." Snotlout said as he took another.
"Let me guess a quote from your father." Hiccup guessed.
"Yup." He said in a bragging tone taking another bite have meat.
No one noticing the shiver have that name.
"Okay fine Mister Stomach of steel don't say I didn't warn you." Astrid said giving up.
So the teens just continued to watch them eat.
"Wow he has a stomach like a a…" Ruffnut said slowly.
"A dragon!" Tuffnut finished.
Looking at there own dragons who were gulping down their dinner of fish.
"Yeah!" The boy twin agreed.
Toothless rolled his eyes as he went back to munching on his fish.
'We do not eat that much!' Toothless said even though he knew they would not answer.
'The dear needs to slow down. He'll be sure to get a tummy ache that way.' Meatlug said in a mothering worried tone.
Hookfang just ignored the bunch as he was continuing to eat his basket full of fish. That was until he noticed that everyone was looking at him. Hookfang gulped down the piece of fish.
'What?... Look the boy has a stomach the size a whirlpool. He'll be fine. Besides it not like it isn't the amount he eats everyday.' Hookfang defened.
'Are you sure.' Toothless said unconvinced.
'Look Toothless I know you mean well but you worry about your rider and I will worry about mine. Besides we can't protect them from everything. Life is best taught through experiences. All we have to do is be the loyal dragons we are and be there for them.' Hookfang said.
And the other dragons left it at that. But they knew he was worried about his rider also. But like he said before. Life is best taught through experiences.

"Ohhh ow. My stomach. Man that hurts." Snotlout groaned on his way home.
'Well the kids did warn you, you have no one to blame but yourself.' Hookfang said sternly.
Hookfang nudged his human a bit trying to find out how bad it is. But Snotlout pushed it away.
"Not now Hookfang not out here. You know that. Besides my stomach hurts too much." Snotlout groaned as he went on ahead walking to his own house.
Hookfang became annoyed.
'Of course I know you foolish boy. But thanks to your own foolishness you got yourself sick. Go home I'll be back.' Hookfang said as he walked away.
"Hookfang hey hookfang! Where ya going?. *sigh* fine who needs ya." Snotlout said with a singe of hurt in his voice. But he turned around and walked home.
Hoping no praying that his dad was not home. And doing some insane night time party with the boys. Like he normally does.
(TimeBreak)
There was no such luck. It seemed to Snotlout that the world was out to get him today. His father Spitlout was home and for once in his life he felt like 'sharing' his many many editable treasures as he called it. Making his stomach worse. He almost threw up. But swallowed it when his fathers not looking. During their 'conversation'. Snotlout's father once again used his quotes have being a great viking.
"The greatest Viking are we. With head have iron and stomachs have steal. No one ever standing in our way." Spitelout said laughing as he put a rough arm around the boys shoulder.
Snotlout flinched as he once again swallowed the urge to puke.
"You okay lad not getting sick are you?" Spitelout asked pulling away from Snotlout changing his tone in an instant making Snotlout cringe. "
Because we Jorgensons never get sick. That's a sign have weakness and we never show weakness now do we Snotlout?" He said in a menacing voice.
Making Snotlout mentally squeak in quick as he looked scared he quickly recovered. Looking as confident as the sick boy can muster. Taking a big piece of meat
"Sick me? Naw only wimps get sick. But me? Were Jorgensons we never get sick." Snotlout said taking a big bite into the meat to make it look convincing.
Which seemed to work. As he changed his emotion instanly. Laughing like it was always that way.
"Oh just checkin me boy just checkin."
"He He right. Well *fake yawn* I'm beat. Gonna turn in. I mean I wanna you know be ready to make my mark." Snotlout said as he quickly headed for the stairs.
"Hmm yes your quite right besides gotta meet some have the boys for our stomach have steel contest." He said as he as he walked towards the door.
"Yeah so good night." Snotlout said as he sped up stairs not waiting for his father to answer back to him. He doesn't do it anyway.
Some time passed which felt like an eternity to Snotlout. He puked up once or twice in the waste bin and he was more than miserable. He was even more miserable because he feels betrayed because Hookfang left hm. As much as he hates to admit it. He really likes the dragon. Hookfang was the only one he could actually talk to. About well anything. And as much as he hates to admit it. For a dragon he's a much better person than his father ever was.
"No he's not. Don't think about him… Just sleep. I'll feel better in the morning."
But he spoke to soon as he began to taste the nasty taste of digested food. As he puked out his sorrows in the waste bin. Hookfang came inside from the the door. With something in him mouth. When heard his humans distress. He put down the item and went over. Gentle moving his tail back and forth on Snotlout's back. Once the boy was done. He looked up to see his dragon.
"Hookfang you came back." Snotlout croaked.
Hookfang rolled his eyes. Nuzzling the boy gently.
'Of course I came back you silly boy. Where else would I go if I wanted a boy your age to drive me crazy.'
"Your a jerk you know that. Leaving me all by myself with my dad."
Hookfang gave a low growl.
'Your father was here? I don't see him now.'
"Cool your jets… He left for a party." Snotlout mumbled.
'Gee thanks for the reassuring thought. What parent with their right mind actually leaves there sick kid to go to a stupid party? Wow what a guy. Just wait till he gets home. Oh yeah I know your gonna hate me after this but here you need to take this.' Hookfang said as he shoved some strange gooey herbs in front have the boy.
"What is that?" Snotlout asked the dragon in semi disgust.
Snotlout looked at the thing then at Hookfang.
'You don't need to know, now eat it.'
Snotlout couldn't understand dragon but when Hookfang looked at the mystery stuff and gulped the universal dragon sign for eating. All hell broke loose.
"Oh no! No No! You hear me Hookfang! I am not going to eat that thing! I don't even want to eat at all do you get it!? Much less eat a mysterious goop!"
Before Snotlout could make another rant Hookfang grabbed the herbs with his tail. And stuffed it in the boy's mouth. As he swallowed on contact.
'If I knew that you were going to have a temper tantrum I'd would have feed it to you myself earlier. Sure I'm all for go with your own consequences but. Do that again and it'll be more than just your stomach hurting. Your gonna have to wait a few minutes to let it kick in. But you'll be alright.'
"You jerk I didn't want to eat it. How is eating something gonna help my stomach huh!? Fine I'm sorry I learned my lesson! My dad just finished stuffing my face! And now…now! Why is everyone hating me today!?" Snotlout asked as he was hyperventilating.
'You have to be sick if your crying. Especially this loud. And for one I am glad you have learned from this. And everyone does not hate you. You know that is not true. Your being childish right now. *sigh* Come on now stop. Please?'
Finding nothing else to do Hookfang took Snotlout placing near his dragon chest curling around the boy making him and himself feel very comfortable. Hookfang nuzzled the boy very gently letting out a soft purr making himself feel very awkward.
'Okay okay shhh. Your okay. Your fine. Now hush thee is no good reason that you are carrying on like this. So this is how Toothless feels… Not that I want to do this daily. Oh heck no. Well I hope you are very satisfied now. I can now never look at the dragons and say I was being parental and all that other mushy stuff. So this stays between us you got that? Good.'
After a little while Snotlout finally calmed down who was by now very embarrassed. The boy then started trying to calm his breathing patterns.
"*sniff* Stupid dust…" Snotlout mumbled wiping his face with his shirt.
'Yes you go and blame the dust. At least the dust knows your human…. Soo feeling better?" Hookfang asked which sounded like a gruff cue.
"Hey I am feeling a bit better." Snotlout said in a small surprised realization as he gave out a small sniff.
'Yes I know. Wow what a shocker.' Hookfang said in a sarcastic voice.
Snotlout began to looked a little guilty.
"Hey Hookfang, um I'm you know…. S- Soorry! For you know what I said earlier and me yelling at you. Ya know I didn't mean it."
Hookfang rolled his eyes and nuzzled him.
'I know. It really doesn't matter anyway. It was just the sickness talking. Besides nothing you do can really make me leave you. Sure I'll get mad at you but I can't do it forever. You know that.'
There was a moment have silence for the both have them. Enjoying for once the peace in Berk. Hookfang gave out a soft sigh laying his head down.
'Okay time to sleep. So lay down. Go to sleep.' Hookfang said closing his eyes.
"Um hookfang I'm still in here."
'I know.'
"So you know this may be the good time to let me go. You know."
'Nope.'
"Oh come on Hookfang let me out!" Snotlout cried a crack leaving his voice.
Hookfang opened one eye as he looked at the boy.
'No you go off getting sick because of your own stupidity. Worrying me half to death. And when I go and help are you cooperative? No! You go off acting like a dragonling and have a temper tantrum! So think of this as a punishment. Your grounded for the rest of the night and until I'm sure that your better. Now go to sleep.' And with that he laid back down his head and went into a light sleep.
"Fine…" Snotlout relented like he would have a choice. He laid down on the scales.
"But if my dad asks. It was your idea. And we were wrestling and we fell asleep got it?"
'Let the idiot think what he thinks. He's not laying one hand on you.' Hookfang shortly growled.
Snotlout gave a short laugh as he patted his dragons head gently.
"Goodnight Hookfang…. Oh and thanks."The boy said as he finally went to sleep.
'Goodnight kid. And what are families for. But don't ever do that again. Oh dragon scales what am I saying. Hmmm. 'Kids will be kids.''And Hookfang also followed the boy to the land have dreams.
