Hey guys! Story I haven't written in a while. please review and tell me what you think. I own nothing.

Chapter 2:

His small body fell fast back to Earth. He was never going to make it. Hiccup fell into a giant cloud of fire and then disappeared. The Night Fury followed behind him. Hiccup was gone.

Stoick's eyes snapped open. He had another dream again. Will those memories live with him forever? Probably. He looked over at Hiccup. See, Stoick, nothing to worry about. He's right there. Safe and sound. He told himself.

Stoick listened to the steady beat of Hiccup's heart. He smiled. His boy was alive. He was alive. He remember his mental note that he made earlier: make sure you feed Hiccup the next time he wakes up. He remembered what the healer had said: Make sure he gets plenty of rest, and food. Stoick went towards the kitchen to make Hiccup some soup.

Hiccup's eyes fluttered open. Why did everything hurt? He tried to move, but with 1 1/2 legs and only 1 arm, it becomes quite a challenge. He heard footsteps. Hiccup looked over and saw his father making something. It smelled really good. His father turned around from what he was doing.

"Hiccup," He breathed.

"H-hi, Dad," Hiccup croaked.

His father made his way over to Hiccup's bedside.

"How do you feel?" Asked his dad, taking his massive fingers and running them through Hiccup's soft hair.

"Fine," Hiccup lied. His father have him a stern look, but didn't pressure him. He just kept running his fingers through Hiccup's hair. Which was weird. His father never showed him any kind of affection. He went from being ignored to having his dad comfort him.

Hiccup decided to change the subject.

"What are you making?"

His dad smiled. "Are you hungry?" The truth was, Hiccup was starving. He could eat an entire yak right now, but this was his father. He never asked for anything from his father. Rest was for the weak, you got fed if you pulled your weight, so, that's why most of the time, Hiccup never ate. He had never had an adult that actually care for him, well, except Gobber. He remember that one day in the forge, when Gobber finally picked up on something:

FLASHBACK

"Hey, Hiccup," Gobber greeted.

"Hi," Hiccup answered quietly.

Gobber looked Hiccup up and down, noticing something different about his little apprentice.

"Hiccup, are you, eating?"

Hiccup gave him a puzzled look.

"What do you mean? Of course I eat!"

"I mean, have you been eating enough, recently?"

"That's beside the point," Hiccup said, nervously.

"That's exactly the point,"

"I just haven't been hungry,"

"Hiccup, your skin and bones, you-"

"Could we just, change the subject please?"

"Fine. Have you been sleeping well?"

Hiccup slammed his hand on the table.

"I'm fine."

"Those circles around you eyes say otherwise," Gobber pointed out.

"Gobber, what do you want me to say?"

"The truth,"

"I'm fine!"

Gobber grunted, but didn't ask anymore.

END OF FLASHBACK

"No, Dad, I'm not hungry," answered Hiccup.

His father frowned. "How could you not-" but Stoick was cut off mid sentence by the loud grumble that came from Hiccup's stomach.

Stoick raised an eyebrow. "You sure about that?"

A small blush crept onto Hiccup's freckled cheeks.

Stoick grabbed the bowl from the counter, and brought it over to Hiccup. Hiccup started to sit up, but Stoick gently pushed him down. He brought the spoon up to Hiccup's mouth.

"Open," he said. Hiccup looked at him, confused.

"What do you-"

"Hiccup, you are in no condition to do, well, anything. For example, eating."

Hiccup's blush got even bigger, but opened up his mouth. The broth tasted so good against his rough, scratchy throat. In just a few minuets, the bowl was empty. He didn't realized how hungry he was.

Stoick tucked Hiccup in.

"Go to sleep now Hiccup."

He gently caressed Hiccup's face. His skin was still soft as a feather. Finally, Hiccup closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Stoick gently kissed Hiccup on the forehead, and then set out to go find a certain blonde Viking. If he was going to be the protective, caring father he wanted to be, he would have to get to know Hiccup a little more. And, who else knows him better, then the great, Gobber the Belch?
