Hey guys! Again, billions of apologies for not updating in a million years. I'm so so so (infinite more "so's") sorry. I'm such a lazy butt. Please forgive me. *hugs*
Anyways. This is hopeforhijack, I just changed my username to Some Weird Weirdo, because in the end, I kinda am some weird weirdo. And yay, HTTYD2 was amazing!
I hope you enjoy. I feel like this is a sucky chapter, but. Um. Hope you enjoy!
"Hey, buddy."
Hiccup manages a small smile as he reaches down to rub the top of his dogs head, who came bounding to the door once he came back home. Toothless lets out a small yap in return, his pink tongue hanging out of his mouth. Hiccup smiled to himself, and reached backwards and heaved his backpack from his shoulders, and dropped it to the ground with a thump.
"You'd think teachers would believe in no homework on the first day, huh?" Hiccup brushed his fingers through Toothless's long, black hair. He always talked to Toothless, because he was the only real friend Hiccup had. Toothless was the only one who listened to him, and sometimes it looked like he understood what Hiccup was saying.
"Lucky you, not having to worry about homework and jobs. Must be nice being a dog." Toothless woofed in agreement. "Even if you have only half a tail," he added, glancing over to the dogs stub tail.
Toothless was like that when Hiccup first spotted him in the animal shelter. Car accident, they told him. His father wasn't too keen on buying another mouth to feed, but Hiccups mother thought it was a great idea, and his father finally gave in to the idea. One of the only people his father would listen to was his mother.
Hiccup pushed his glasses up, and reached for the backpack strap. He sighed, and slowly dragged the bag up the stairs, Toothless bounding behind him. The second Hiccup reached his room, he threw his backpack off to the side and collapsed on his bed, closing his eyes and staring up at the ceiling. Even if he wouldn't admit it out loud, Hiccup did miss Berk, in the very depths of his heart. He missed it when he knew everyone, and the halls weren't filled with strangers you didn't know. There were only a handful people his age at Berk; it was a small town, and even if he got beaten up a few-well, more than a few times, he missed everyone back in the town he grew up in.
At some point, Hiccup lazily sat up and glanced around the room. Hiccup slid off of his bed and unaware of the fact that his dog was laying down on the floor near it, stepped on Toothless.
The jet-black lab gave a sharp bark of pain and Hiccup stumbled in surprise. "Wha-dang-TOOTHLESS!" His foot slipped under him, and Hiccup flung his arms around wildly, knocking down one of the stacks of moving boxes. He ended up falling face-first onto the floor.
Paper spilled out of the boxes. Hiccup groaned and sat up, looking around the room. Toothless walks over to him, and decided to sit down next to him. Hiccup sighed and managed a small smile, and rubbed the top of the dog's head.
"If only Dad could see me now." Hiccup started to stand get on his knees and stand up. "This mess is going to take forever to clean up. Thanks, Toothless."
The black lab growled in protest. "Yeah yeah, it was kinda my fault." Hiccup admits, and starts to kneels again to pick up papers and photographs spilt from the boxes.
He smiles to himself as he finds his old notebook, the front page covered in dragons. He remembers when he was little, he sat all day and scribbled in the notebook, and his mother would sometimes come too and watch him draw. Hiccup felt a pang of sorrow.
Hiccup grabbed handfuls of old papers and tosses them in the boxes. One photograph slips through his fingers, and as he reaches down to get it, curiosity gets he better of him as he takes a look.
The picture shows two boys, around the age of eight or so. They're both kneeling on the ground, and one is looking up and smiling at the camera while the other is digging through the ground. Both kids have dirt all over their shirts and faces. Hiccup narrows his eyes. The one digging in the ground looks like him; messy brown hair, somewhat long, and freckles splashed all over his face. The other kid also has brown hair, but it sticks up all over the place. His eyes are bright blue, and has pale white skin.
Hiccup has definitely seen that face before, but he can't recall where he's seen it. He turned the photo over, and scribbled on the back with messy handwriting was the signature of what he assumed were the two boys in the photo: Hiccup and Jack, 2004. Hiccup looked at it for a few more seconds before shrugging and tucking it in his pocket and resuming to clean up the rest of the mess.
Yes, that was also quite short, sorry about that. And not much happened, yeah. Man, I suck at writing. :P
Anyways! I thought I just ought to let you know how the Hiccup in my story looks like, or how I imagined him.
Honestly, the Hiccup in my story probably looks like the one in HTTYD 2, except with glasses. And much nerdier. Much, much nerdier.
And he does have both his legs. For now. *Hint Hint*
Anyways. It'd mean the world if you commented, thanks!
Thanks for reading! I'll try to get a chapter up sooner, so sorry. Again.
