Hiccup spent the week practicing hard, and by the end of the week... he still couldn't skateboard.
In fact, he couldn't even really stand on one, if we're being completely honest here.
It would've been so much easier if it weren't for the supervillains lurking around. Making it near impossible for him to use his powers unnoticed.
He was going to kill Nightfury the next time he saw him...

Toothless sat in the lair, humming to himself, it had been a while since his last attempt to take over- well, part of the world. Then again, things like that took time to plan, and that was something he no longer had as much of. Still, it had been almost three years since his last big plot, he'd need to make plans for one soon.
But for now he needed something. Something not necessarily as big, but still pretty big.
He hummed... There was a bank down a few streets from the university... No... Too unoriginal.
There was a petting zoo that he could- nah, done it before.
Wait- he smiled, he had an idea. He got up and went down to the lab part of the lair. He passed through an eye scan which took him towards his work station (can't have the others stealing his ideas) and started work on a machine...
.
It was the day of the trip. Odin's hill, the university's way of giving the students a break. If only they didn't care, Hiccup thought, miserably.
He had a plan though. He'd purposely left his practice skateboard at school, and with nothing even resembling a skateboard around he was good, right?
"Hey Hiccup, ready?" Toothless called out, grinning from his group of friends, smirking.
Just as Hiccup was about to tell them he didn't have a skateboard, Toothless brandished one from behind.
Fuck.
He couldn't back down now. Not now, it was far too late. He gulped. Oh well, better to go down brave than chicken out.
He gulped and took a deep breath. Everyone's eyes on him as he mounted the dreaded board and pushed off. Toothless was recording this and he refused to give him the satisfaction.
Head held high as he descended and- fell... He fell... But luckily, over a decade of battle training had his reflexes at peak condition, an he managed to pull off a roll to the side, the skateboard sliding down the rest of the mountain and into a big patch of mud, landing upright.
Toothless had his head back, laughing.
"Wow," he said wiping a tear away before laughing agin, struggling to control himself, "wow, that must've been some ride down a- what? Mountain? Hahaha."
"Ignore him," Astrid whispered.
"He's my roommate, it'll be hard," he replied.
He walked back to the bus, not really feeling like being around his classmates at the moment.
To think Toothless was on his potential villains list, nah, there was nothing super about that guy, he was a dick, a jerk, guys like that weren't super, even supervillains had some class.
He blinked feeling something warm on his cheek. Dammit, was he crying. He blinked furiously, but that only made it worse.
He quickly got on and got to his seat which was located on the fifth row, the window.
He looked out and realized that it was starting to rain. He sighed and took a deep breath.
He'd always been good at controlling his powers, but sometimes he just had to be extra careful.
He hadn't meant to cry, he was just so angry, and this was what happened when he dwelled on sad thoughts.
Ten minutes later, others began to file themselves onto the bus. Astrid sat in the middle of him and Snotlout, with the opposite aisle being occupied by (from aisle seat) Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Fishlegs.
He didn't need to look to know Toothless was somewhere near the back. Astrid put her arm around him, gave him a hug, and asked if anything hurt.
He shook his head, but his hands and knees felt a little sore. He figured it was probably from the impact (knees) and pebbles (hands).
It took about half an hour to get back to the school, Hiccup didn't want to go back to his room yet, didn't want to see him yet.
He went to the heroes hideout instead and practiced a bit.
