:))))) gah! Oki, this chapter's gonna be long. Now, time to find out what 'Baldy' did. ;))))
p.s. if you read anything I write please skip this chapter, I'll explain it all in the summary, I promise!
He'd wanted to be the one to tell Toothless. It would've made it more personal, but of course their parents and sister had beaten him to it.
.
Toothless walked into the garden, smiling, and thinking about all the death he'd cause in his family, ah, such happy thoughts :)
When his mother saw him she nearly fainted, his father did nothing, but when he looked into his eyes he felt the anger they held. His sister was neutral, why wouldn't she be? She wasn't the Dragon Queen for nothing.
"Mother, Father, Drachella," he bowed mockingly humbly.
"Toothless," she greeted, curtsying slightly… they were from a pretty old family, not that all supervillains greeted like this, only the majority of dragon ones.
They all had roles to play. Their mother was the caregiver, their father was the stern head figure, their sister was the icy princess who was gorgeous yet deadly, Baldy was the good son, and Toothless, well, he was the rebel. Ah, the perfect household.
"Where's Baldy?" Drachella asked, picking her nails with a toothpick.
"I don't know, why?"
"Not much, I just wish to talk to him about the… nature of his fight."
"What fight?"
Drachella looked at him oddly. "His fight," she said, "You know, against his nemesis for the cape."
Toothless's legs suddenly felt weak. This wasn't happening, this wasn't happening.
"Toothless?" his mother asked, getting over her initial shock at what her youngest was wearing, "Honey, are you alright?"
"N-nobody told me about the fight," he said, his legs shaking as he slowly lowered himself to the ground, not wanting his legs to give up completely and just let him fall. "I t-thought Baldy said he didn't want to have one?"
His father shrugged, "He changed his mind."
This was- this was not, goo. He stood up, wanting desperately to go back to his room, the lab, literally anywhere but-
"Oh look," his mother smiled, "It's Baldy!"
here.
Toothless turned around to look at him, betrayal and hurt scrawled across his face.
.
Hiccup smiled at his parents, gods only know how much he'd missed them.
"Mom," he smiled, "Dad."
"Hiccup!" they beamed back at him.
"How's Gobber?" he asked.
Stoick smiled sadly, "He's getting better, he can almost see again. Nimaya says a few more days."
Hiccup smiled. Gobber deserved to see again, it wasn't his fault that he'd lost his sight and smell five years ago.
.
Stormfly sighed in her room. Of course her parents hadn't come. Why would they?
.
Baldy exhaled as he sank to the floor. He wanted to cry. On the other side of the door, back similarly against it, Toothless was trying not to cry.
A few tears slipped from his eyes down his cheeks and onto his t-shirt. How could Baldy do this? Sure he often made jokes about Baldy going and dying, and sometimes when they got into a fight he ended with the whole, melodramatic 'you can go die for all I care' but he didn't mean it.
Baldy's nemesis was The Meathead. Sure he was one of Haddock's friends, but he could fight. Their element was electricity. Baldy was a more than capable fighter… but that was exactly what he'd thought about Skrill…
.
Hiccup slammed the bottle down and got a pat on the back from his dad.
4 beers! This was a new record for him. His uncle, Spitelout, gave him an encouraging look. They still hadn't seen Snotlout anywhere. Oh well, they were sure he'd turn up eventually.
.
Snotlout punched the dummy. It was four fucking pm, where was everyone?
He sighed, going into the break-room, he was hungry and thirsty, and he could do with a nice sandwich, he peered at the calendar from the corner of his eye as he sipped the water. What was that big red writing?
'Family day.'
'Oh,' he thought, 'Family day.'
It hit him like a train. Fuck!
He ran to his room, got dressed, and ran to the garden, very few families were still their. He spotted his mom and aunt chatting by a tree.
"Mom!" he ran up to her and gave her a hug, "Hey aunt Valka!" he gave her one as well.
"Hi, sweetie," his mom said, "I missed you."
"I missed you too! Where's dad?"
"He's at the pub with your uncle and Hiccup."
"Thanks mom." He gave her a kiss and ran.
.
Baldy sighed. It'd been an hour since their parents had left, Toothless still wasn't coming out of his lab.
.
Snotlout wrapped Hiccup's arm around his shoulder, bid their fathers farewell and walked him back to his room. His uncle and father probably should've stopped cheering Hiccup on after the seventh beer.
"Sn-snortle? Snotli? Sn'out?" Hiccup slurred, trying to move his legs properly.
"Sh, sh," Snotlout said, patting Hiccup's head. Sometimes it sucked to be the older cousin…
"Strssss…" he said.
"Yes, Hiccup," Snotlout nodded, "There are stars out."
"pr'y… bootfull…" he mumbled into Snotlout's shoulder.
Snotlout sighed. How far was Hiccup's dorm room again?
Around three years ago, if Hiccup was ever like this, he'd probably get him to do something stupid and then take a video. But not anymore, now he was wiser, kinder and more thoughtful of his younger cousin… psh! Nah, who was he kidding? He figured he could probably find a hula skirt somewhere…
.
Toothless left through the secret exit. He couldn't bear the thought of facing his brother.
He walked in the pale moonlight to his dormitory. He saw a guy with big muscles leaving, laughing to himself like some sort of maniac… then again, if he was Hiccup's friend…
Toothless sighed, walking in and saw Hiccup passed out on his bed with a hula skirt on… great…
Toothless climbed the ladder onto his bed and went to sleep.

just wanted to quickly mention. Where I typed 'goo' it wasn't a typo, it was intentional, the only reason I didn't put a '-' after it was because I was hoping to emphasize how painful this was on Toothless, he can't even think straight.
