Crying in the rain chapter 2
I know it's impossible
"Oh toothless…" Hiccup cried out softly. He put his head in his hands and cried.
That's how Valka found him.
She knelt in front of him and put her arms on his shoulders.
"Hiccup? Are you alright?"
"No…I know what's wrong with Toothless. It's horrible. I have to find a way to fix this. I can't let him go through that pain of being left out and alone. I never want anyone to go through that. Especially him."
Hiccup got up and left the room as fast as his legs can carry him. He knew what cliff Toothless was talking about. He used to go there when he had to get away from it all.
~~~
Hiccup reached the peak of the cliff and saw a figure he would recognize from a mile away. He slowly approached Toothless.
He could see he hasn't been eating very well, he could see his skinny arms wrapped around his legs. Eyes directed towards the ground. Wind and rain plastering against his face. That didn't seem to faze him.
"Hey Toothless." Unsure of how to start. Toothless tilted his head to the sound of his voice. He looked at Hiccup for only a second before burying his face in his legs and arms again.
"No Toothless wait…" he said gently. Hiccup slowly put a hand on Toothless' shoulder. He flinched it away. Hiccup pulled his hand back.
"Toothless…bud please talk to me…" Toothless slowly brings his head up and looks at him.
"Please…I can't stand the silence anymore…" Hiccup said lowly. Toothless looks down again.
"I'm sorry…" he said above a whisper. Hiccup jerked his head up at his voice. "I was so afraid to let you in. I didn't want to bother or worry you." Hiccup could tell that Toothless had so many emotions running through him.
"Toothless…" Hiccup said as he placed a hand on his shoulder. Toothless looks at him again. 'it's ok to cry." Toothless held a straight face, but that only lasted for a moment. Hiccup saw tears well up in his eyes. "I won't think anything less of you."
The dam burst.
Tears flowed freely now. Hiccup pulled Toothless close to him and held him as he cried. He put his right arm over his head and the left one over his shoulder. Hiccup rested his on head on Toothless' head.
Hiccup heard a muffled sob. "Sh it's ok. I'm right here let it all out."
Toothless wished he could have gone to Hiccup sooner.
"I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…" Toothless said while his head is in Hiccup's armored chest.
Hiccup hugged Toothless tighter.
The rain was starting to lighten up. A little but not by much.
Toothless pulled away from Hiccup to wipe his eyes.
"Feel better?" Asked Hiccup.
Toothless sniffed and said "A…a little."
"Oh Toothless…why? Why did you hide it from me for so long?" He already knew the answer, but he wanted to hear it from him.
"I…I didn't want to bother you. Everything is finally looking happy for you. The village is repaired, your mom is home, and you and Astrid are soon to be married. And I didn't want to ruin your happiness. I know that you don't blame me for…what happened. But that doesn't make me feel any better. The guilt doesn't go away this easily. I found an escape. I know that you read my journal."
Hiccup recoiled back.
"Toothless please don't be mad at me. I swear to the gods I didn't mean to…I…I just…" Hiccup stuttered afraid of what Toothless might think of his snooping. Toothless held a hand up to stop him.
"Hiccup calm down" he said as he put his hands on his shoulders. "I'm not mad. I was at first." Toothless pulled his legs up to his chest and hugged them. "But I now know that you did it because I wouldn't let you in. I'm so sorry Hiccup. Can you ever ever forgive me?"
"Toothless…why are you sorry? You have nothing to be sorry for." Hiccup puts his hand against Toothless' face.
"I know that times are tough now. But please when you feel down or depressed…remember this. I will never be too busy for you. You're my best friend in the whole world. I need you here. I am nothing without you." Toothless closed his eyes and started to cry again. Hiccup gladly pulled him close to him again.
Toothless wrapped his arms around Hiccup's back side. Hiccup smiled, the issue that they had was finally being resolved. All he had to do was be there for him.
Toothless had been there many times for him. When he first lost his leg, he had so many nightmares about the red death coming for him. The pain about losing his leg.
Toothless had always done so much for him. He was always there for him when he needed him to be. They've been through everything together. Toothless always saved Hiccup from certain death, even if he got hurt in the process. Hiccup always thought
How can I ever repay him? For doing this for me?
I guess this is one way I can… Hiccup thought. Toothless pulled away and wiped his yes again.
The rain was beginning to stop.
"Toothless…look at me." Toothless looked up.
"I want you to try…I know it's going to be hard, but please try to stop hurting yourself. You are NOT a killer and you're NOT a murderer. I don't think or nor will I EVER think you are…ok?" Toothless sniffed.
"Ok…I'll try…for you Hiccup."
"Thanks bud." Hiccup smiled at him, Toothless smiled back, not a fake one, but a real one.
"Hey Toothless…Wanna go flying? Just like old times, you and me?"
"…Yes" Toothless said nodding up and down.
"Come on then, let's go get your saddle." Hiccup got up and held out his arm to help Toothless up. Toothless grabbed his arm and got up.
As they made their way down to the forge:
"Hey Hiccup?"
"Yea?"
"Thank you…"
"For what?"
"Thank you for saving me."
The rain stopped.
