A leaf in the wind
Toothless was bouncing around Hiccup's room, helping him pack his belongings, "Thanks bud." he said, taking the notebook from his mouth. Ok, notebook, check, tools, check, spare cloths, check, confidence, still working on it. Hiccup thought as he packed the last of his things. He had talked to the council about his abilities, they came to a agreement that if he committed to his role, along with Korra, than they would tell the pubic, and allow him to do what he wanted.
"Got everything?" Hiccup turned to see his mother, "Just about, you sure you'll be able to survive without me and Toothless around?" he asked, scratching said dragon's head. "I'm sure I'll find some way to survive." Lin said giving him a hug, "Keep a eye on the girl alright?" she said, Hiccup nodded, "No problem." he said, heading down the stairs, calling Toothless down, he hopped on his back and they where off. "I mean professionally!" Lin called down, Hiccup blushed bright red.

Hiccup's house was in the center of the city, getting to the air temple would have taken hours, but with Toothless it took 30 minutes. After circling for a few minutes he spotted Tenzin, Korra and the airbending childeren in the training area. Landing a few feet away he was immediately tackled by Meelo, "Dragon Conqueror! We meet again!" he said swinging on Hiccup's arm, after stepping off Toothless he threw the boy into the air, "Yea it's me, you miss me Meelo?" he asked as he gave the boy a hug, who immediately slipped out of his grasp.
"Hiccup! Did you sneak onto the island? Is it true you went into a burning building? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Ikki said bouncing up and down, "Yea, yes, and yep." he said in a recited order. After giving him a short hug on his leg, she bolted off after her brother. "Jinnora, good to see you, how's it going?" Hiccup asked as he approached the rest, "Fine! Everything's fine!" she said quickly, a blush on her cheeks. She quickly excused herself and went off towards the temple.
Hiccup turned to Korra to see she had a look of...skepticism? "Good to see you my boy." Tenzin said, extending his hand, "Sorry about last time." Hiccup said, shaking his hand. As the two carried on Korra slipped out and took of towards the training pavilion. "Is something wrong?" Hiccup asked, "She, found out about..." Tenzin struggled on how to phrase it, "What I am?" Hiccup provided. Tenzin shook his head, "No! Who you are."

Korra managed to avoid Hiccup all day, much to his surprise, and figured that he'd talk to her tomorrow. But unfortunately Toothless woke him up before it could become tomorrow. "Bud? What is it?" Hiccup asked groggily, the dragon pointed towards the window, looking out he saw Korra jump into the water, Late night swim?
Fallowing her from the air was something that was harder than he thought, after throwing on a shirt he got Toothless in the air above the bay and was trying to spot her, "I don't get it bud, the is nothing out here. Except for the, okay duh!" he said as he made Toothless dive for the pro bending arena.

One of the perks of being a police officer was being able to wave your bags and go where you wanted, so after the match was over he was still looking for her, "Wow! That was AWSOME Korra!" a voice said, Well that was easy. Fallowing the direction if the voice, Hiccup came upon the gym where Korra was training with another person. Deciding to let her have a few he waited until she was done to confront her. As Korra walked out the door, she failed to notice Hiccup standing behind the door, "Out for a walk?" he asked, surprising Korra, "What are you doing here!" she said with a tad of hostility in her voice, raising his hands in defense, he replied, "Toothless woke me up and I saw you jump into the water. I fallowed and, yea here we are." Korra still looked mad, "I'd think the avatar would have something better to do." she said in a huff, as she began to walk away, he ran out in front of her, "That's why you suddenly hate me? Because of something I had absolutely no say in?" he replied, "I was fine being a earth bender, and to be honest..." he stopped, "I'm scared, of what I can do."
Korra's anger turned more into sympathetic, "Why? I mean your...we're the avatars, and I've been doings this," gesturing to Hiccup, "for a while now." she said, putting a arm in his shoulder, "First, you just gestured to all of me, second, your don't hate me anymore?" Hiccup said smirking, Korra blushed, "I didn't hate you, I was just...surprised was all. And...could you..." she started, "Not tell Tenzin about this? Got it." he said giving her a thumbs up. "That, and try to make sure he doesn't hear about tomorrow night's match."
"Which you are in."
"How long where you eavesdropping?"
"I wasn't!"
"Really?"
"I have...good ears, I hear things."
"Uh-huh."
The two walked out where Toothless was waiting, Korra immediately stopped to look at the beast, the black scales reflected off the moonlight, his green, catlike eyes observed Hiccup thoroughly. And she definitely saw teeth. What surprised her was the harness on his back. "What's wrong?" Hiccup asked, fallowing her sight he saw the problem, "Oh! Toothless wouldn't harm anyone...unless provoked." At the mention of his name he bounded towards Hiccup, seeing his new friend he walked over to her and began to inspect her, "What is he doing?!" she asked, with a bit of panic in her voice, "Oh he does that, watch this. Toothless, smile." he ordered, gesturing a smile with his finger.
Toothless obliged and gave Korra a toothless smile. Korra couldn't help but coon the dragon, tentatively, she outstretched her arm to scratch him behind the ears, earning a purr. "See? Harmless." Hiccup said joining the two, "I like his namesake." After moments of purring Korra asked, "Soooo...Lin's your mom?" Hiccup laughed, "Well, yea. I mean I was...abandoned and she found me and raised me. She's closer than blood." he answered, Korra on the other hand was speechless, "Look, we got a long time to talk about this, you want a ride back to the island?" Hiccup asked, Korra looked at him, then Hiccup, "Maybe next time."

(Next day)
Hiccup had just gotten back from his flight to see the spinning gates in ruin, "Note to self, never get on Korra's bad side." Hiccup said aloud,Toothless nodded in agreement.
Korra herself had locked herself in her room, "Korra?" Hiccup knocked, "Are you okay?" no answer, "Look, I get that air isn't exactly your element, if it helps, the only thing I can do is blow a puff of air." he heard a annoyed moan, "That's more than I can do." Hiccup face palmed, "Not the point, the point is we both suck air." Hicup said, Korra couldn't help but smirk. She opened the door and Hiccup's jaw nearly dropped. Her hair was down, IT'S THE END OF DAYS!

"Like this?" Hiccup asked, Korra inspected his motions, "Perfect!" Korra exclaimed. Korra has promised Hiccup that she would train him in waterbending, Hiccup told her what he knew and she was impressed that he already knew the basics so she decided to teach him about creating ice, he currently had water between his fingers, "Now what you need to do now is visualize what form you want them to take, it's a big part of waterbending in general." Korra explained. Hiccup nodded, he visualized kitchen knives, he watched as the liquid turned to solid, and curved into blades. "Cool!" he exclaimed, "Yea, very cool, now I need to get to the arena. See you there?" she asked, hoping he could make it. Hiccup nodded.

To say the match was interesting would be a understatement. Hiccup had gotten a good seat in the front row, close enough to see Korra only had the radio broadcasts to go off of. After the ref allowed her to play she had gotten the hang of it, he cheered when they knocked the other team in, he winced when the man known as Bolin got hit into the water. He also panicked when he saw Tenzin talking to Korra once she got out of the water.
Korra was the only one left in the ring, and the other team was pushing the offensive, Hiccup was literally biting on his nails. Then it all clicked, Korra began weaving through the attacks, some coming close enough to leave a mark but just barely missing, she threw some water back as she kept pushing, as they passed the first line , second, third! With one last push she launched the others into the water! The Fire Ferrets have won!
Hiccup cheered along with the crowd. As the rest of the crowd cleared out, Hiccup made his way to the locker room. "That was amazing! You where like, whoosh!" A voice said, Hiccup peered inside the room to see Korra talking to one of her teammates. Korra saw him and pulled him in, "Guys this is who I was telling you about, Mako, Bolin, meet Hiccup." she said introducing the brothers, "Nice to meet you." Mako said, ratching out a hand, shaking it Hiccup replied, "Likewise."
"So Korra said your a earth bender, that right?" Bolin asked, "Yea and a metalbender, water bender, and fire bender." he said smirking, he figured that that telling these two wouldn't hurt, he was wrong. Bolin nearly had a aneurism and Mako was just speechless. After calming Bolin down and snapping Mako out of it, he suggested taking the team out to eat as a celebration for their win. Bolin immediately called best friend dibs.
AN: So some sparks fly, Mako and Bolin know the truth, and Korra and Hiccup are now on good terms. And I've decided that I will go over Book 1. And the six month span for this one, and make another story for book 2. I may also add some episodes to the stories, also I apologize if I got the pro bending scene wrong, I had no access to tv over the weekend so I couldn't double check. Don't forget to review!
