I feel stupid I don't know why but I do.
OOCNESS should be the title.
Hiccup's growl seemed to become a little louder as he spoke his prayers for Fawn. The children followed suit for their best friend and continued.
"Please forgive me for the wrongs I have done. Allow this one girl to survive my wrongs for she is strong willed." Said Hiccup and the children they repeated that line over and over until Fawn was starting to fall asleep. Hiccup cupped her cheek in his hands and gently caressed it until the young girl fell to sleep. Only then did the soft rumbling go silent.
"Good night Fawn." Whispered Hiccup before standing up. The children did the same and looked over at him.
"Hiccup we're going to need to talk to you alone." Said Alstair. Hiccup nodded and motioned to the children to come closer. He got down on one knee so he was getting looked down upon by the children. He started growling in the tongue they had just used to put Fawn to sleep.
"Listen to me children. I know I'm not your favorite person right now but please follow my directions…" Began Hiccup but he was cut off by Dawn who spoke in the same langue he spoke in so not to be understood by anyone else.
"We forgive you Hiccup. We know you didn't mean to hurt Fawn. If anyone has a reason to be mad it's her. But if she forgives you then we do too…chief" The children nodded in agreement. Hiccup smiled at them and pulled them into a hug. They willingly returned it and once they let go they were ready for action.
"Okay so I want you to stay and keep an eye on Fawn if she wakes up make sure she gets what she needs. Don't let anything happen to her while I'm gone got that? Don't leave her alone while she's sleeping just in case. I trust these people believe me I do but I have this feeling that something is going to happen…" Hiccup trailed off losing himself in his own thoughts.
"Got it Hiccup." Said Dawn and the others nodded. Hiccup smiled again and stood up walking over to Alastair and nodding his head agreeing to follow.
"Stoick could you come too?"Asked the healer.
"Of course." Replied Stoick.
Alastair and Axel walked back to the main deck Hiccup and Stoick right behind them. Once they reached the deck Axel showed them to another cabin. Hiccup gave Toothless a quick pat on the head before following the others.
When they walked into the cabin they spotted a round table in the center with chairs set around it. Axel and Alastair sat down in two of the chairs and Hiccup and Stoick sat across from them.
"So what I'm hearing is that you just fought against Alvin and Dagur?"Asked Alastair.
"Exactly." Replied Hiccup. Axel glared at Hiccup and Hiccup glared back. Stoick watched both of them for a second and realized the look in both of their eyes easily.
The look of hate.
Hiccup and Axel didn't like each other. Oh no even Stoick could see it. Hiccup had looked at him like that before but it had been so minor compared to the lust the young boy was showing to the Small Isle's chief.
"Not here." Snapped Alastair noticing the looks that were being past back and forth to both chiefs. Axel pulled out a journal from his belt and scribbled words onto it before passing it to Hiccup. The boy read it and instantly stood up, his fists clinched in anger as he pushed the journal back over to its owner.
"I wouldn't play that game…sir." Spat Hiccup making sure that he put as much hate in the last word as possible.
The silent chief stood up also clinching his fists in anger. Stoick looked at Alastair and was surprised when he saw the old healer shaking his head irritated.
"Sorry about this Stoick. But it seems like Axel is being immature." Said Hiccup not even glancing at his ex-father.
Axel scribbled down on the journal and forcefully pushed it in Hiccup's direction. The boy read it and laughed bitterly.
"You're forgetting Axel I'm a child. Of course I'm acting childishly…that's also what immature means so if you want me to give you some more synonyms…" The boy trailed off successfully getting under the chiefs skin.
"Hiccup." Warned Alastair but Axel held his hands up and seemed to be silently telling Alastair that it was okay. Just before the tension had fully disappeared however Axel lunged across the table and pinned Hiccup to the ground. The teen easily escaped and soon was blocking Axel's swings from his ax(ironic huh?)with his sword.
Stoick was about to interfere until Alastair spoke to him "Just wait for one of them to tire. This little rivalry doesn't go deep." Even though the healer sounded agitated he didn't yell or scream he just sat there watching the two chiefs battle against one another.
Hiccup's bloodstained sword connected to Axel's newly polished ax and a metallic 'CLANG!' reverberated around the room. It seemed like Hiccup and Axel had decided to stop for they were just standing in the same place breathing deeply.
But it was the total opposite.
Hiccup pushed against his sword while Axel pushed against his ax, and soon Hiccup the being pushed back by his small size. The boy grunted as his prosthetic gave out underneath him and he toppled over his sword flying out of his hand and landing somewhere behind him.
Axel's ax was parallel with Hiccup's chin and the boy lifted his head up to try and avoid the sharp edge that was pressing against his throat. He took in a ragged breath and grimaced as the blade broke the top layer of skin.
"Axel." Snapped Alastair warningly. The chief pulled his ax away from Hiccup's throat and the boy gasped in air as he stands up shakily leaning on the table for balance.
"You alright Hic-" Began Stoick but Hiccup replied quickly cutting him off."Yes, I am all right."
"Are you sure Hiccup you look pretty shaken up." Stated Alastair carefully. Hiccup shook his head as if to shake water off of him and he put a hand on his throat wiping away any and all blood that stained his pale skin.
"I'm fine." He stated again this time he had more control over his shaking voice. Axel made a grunt and Hiccup looked at him.
Axel seemed to be saying sorry and Hiccup nodded. "Me too." He stated calmly. The two chiefs shook hands and sat back down as if nothing happened between them.
"Okay…" Said Stoick still unsure of what happened.
"They just don't really like each other. It's a personal thing which I refuse to get into." Said Alastair. Stoick nodded in silent agreement and they continued on.
