Hiccup's Approval
Days on berk could never have gotten better. Yay me... Well since after the Red Death incident and i lost my left leg Astrid became my best friend. Double yay me.. we shared secrets and stuff. Back before the incident im a nobody. No one treats me well i was always alone. But who knew it all change when i started to get Fame from the people. It does not feels right though, only after a big incident and people start to talk to me. But deep down i still kinda feel lonely. Well i still got Toothless. And Astrid. Maybe Gobber. But still my Dad still do not see me for what im worth.
Just another cold day on Berk. As usual. Winter last most of the time here anyway, wonder how we even survive. Oh wait we are Vikings why did i forget that. Haaa....
'Good Morning mr bossy!' Hiccup said as he toothless was making so much noise just to go for a morning flight.
'okay okay we can go flying, lets get the saddle on now' As hiccup walks to the the blacksmith to grab the tails and saddle that he had to work on since its pretty worn and toothless needs to enlarge his tail well he is a growing dragon after all.
'Go'eng fo're eh Mor'nang Flight eh Hiccup?' Gobber ask. Well Gobber here im pretty sure most of you know him. For those who don't know he is my Blacksmith Mentor, he taught me everything i know since i was very little. And i have my dad to thank for that. So yay dad..
'Yea Gobber, Its a daily thing with me and toothless Don't you know?' Hiccup said sarcastically
'AI SEE, Well be barck befo're S'on d'awn okay?' Gobber reminded Hiccup
'Okay okay i will, Mind telling me why again?' Hiccup questioned
'Well ai'ts sumt'heng important. I'll show ya latar' Gobber replied while changing his hand to a hammer.
'Sure thing' Hiccup Mumbled as he walks towards toothless to get the saddle on.
'Ready Bud?' As hiccup climb on toothless's back and click his left prosthetic leg to the paddle.
'Alright bud show me what you got today.'After letting out a loud and happy roar toothless took to the sky, Flapping his black night wings into the morning sky.
After a few laps hiccup landed at the Berk Dragon training academy. Everyone seems to be holding on to a letter about the Hogwarts entry. Yes sadly including snotlout, my annoying cousin. I know it sucks to be related to him like really. His dad is related to my mum. Yup also surprisingly the twins also got a letter. Surprise surprise.
Astrid felt kind of sad when she see no owl going to hiccup with a letter.
And of course Snotlout was boasting. 'hey hiccup looks who is NOT going to hogwarts, HAHAHAHA'
'Shut it snotlout! Before i shove you down hookfangs throat.' Astrid threaten
'I call dibs on taking hookfang!!' Tuffnut shouted
'NO! I called dibs on hookfang!' Ruffnut Protested , and they both started to fight.
'there they go again, oh someone stop them... Barf ? Belch? If you two would please?' Hiccup ask the Zippleback. On command they responded.
'Hiccup i know this must be hard for you to see everyone got accepted except for you...'
Astrid tried to comfort Hiccup
'Ha loser!!' Snotlout teased.
'okay that does it snotloud!' Astrid when over to Snotlout grab him by his shirt and toss him into the ocean from the cliff outside the acadamy. Its pretty rare to see that you know? And i can never get tired of it.
'HHHHOOOOOOOKKKKKFFFAAAANNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Snotlout scream while falling. Apparently Hookfang doesn't seem to notice.
'Should we tell him?' Hiccup ask looking at astrid
'yea... in a minute' Astrid replied folding her arms and looking down the cliff grinning evilly
Feeling my stomach flip with jealousy i got on Toothless and flew back to the blacksmith to see what gobber have for me.
'Ahhh Hiccup just in time.. here!' Gobber handed me a piece of envelop with his Good hand.
'hey is this .....!!!!!' Hiccup exclaim in disbelieve,
'Aye it sure is, Go show it to Stoick' Gobber pat me in the back and push me forward out of the shop.
'Naow Gouuuu!!' Gobber gave a be smile.
I ran back to my house with toothless behind me chasing.Lucky me dad was at home.
'Dad! DAD! Im going to Hogwarts!!' Hiccup ran in and showed him the letter.
'ouh.. ouh.. Good job son.' Stoick said in a non surprise manner and quite disappointed as he pat hiccup on the back and walk out of the house.
Hiccup heart felt stab. 'You know bud for once i though i can make him happy but thats all he ever give me, that disappointing scowl of his every time!! i though that things would change between us... '
'Hiccup are you in there?' Astrid walk in and shout
'yea im right here astrid.....' You can hear the sadness in my voice..
'hey you got one too!! i knew that you won't be left out!!' Astrid exclaim when she went up the stairs and saw the letter in my hand.
'Is something wrong? ' Astrid asked after seeing Hiccup`s face.
'Its my dad astrid.. he doesn't seem happy when i told im him going to Hogwarts. Instead he gave me a disappointing scowl. What did i do to deserve this? Is it that hard to make a father smile?!'
Tears filled Hiccup's eyes and fall down his freckle cheeks.
On the spot Astrid hug Hiccup.
'Hey go talk to gobber maybe he can help?' Astrid suggested.
'Sure i guess it might help.....' Hiccup said while wiping his tears away then walked out slowly. With toothless following behind.
'Gobberrr.....? you there? Theres something i need to talk to you about..' hiccup shouted and echoed in the blacksmith work shop
'huh not here? Maybe i should check the great hall....' Hiccup turn to toothless and asked. Getting a nod and a purr in return.
'But yew never tell he'im!! Yeu nev'ar let him do what he'i wants! Why?! ' Gobber voice could be heard from the stairway up to the great hall. Hiccup Stood behind the door of the great hall and peek inside. He could see that they are both alone and standing by the fire pit drinking.
'Its not like that Gobber.. I.... i just don't want it to happen again. Not like Valka...' Stoick voice sounds very sad and worried. As he put his mug down.
'Ow'e Come on!Yew toa'ld he'im she wa'rs killed by Drag'uns!When we all Kno'ew what harp'ann!'
Gobber voice sounds frustrated.
'His only a KID GOBBER!... HE CAN'T KNOW YET!' Stoick voice boom the great hall. As he slowly calm down. He add on. 'He is not ready to hear it.. he will never ready to hear it.., he is too fragile to take it....' before stoick could continue
'take what.... ' Hiccup interrupted.
'Hiccup! What are you doing here!? ' Stoick tried to avoid the question
'Stoick, his big enough to take it. Tell him about Valka..' Gobber said as he rest his hands on stoick's shoulder
Stoick let out a big sigh and continued 'Son... im sorry about lying to you about your mother.. the truth is that she is somewhere out there.. its happen when you were just born when both our father fought and her family decided to leave taking your mother with them. But not Spitelout since he is a man.It was your mother words to tell me to tell you the truth when you are big enough. But it never look that way... When you were born i always knew you won't be the son that i always wanted but you are always what your mother wanted.. You have most of her features, you remind me of her, in fact you look just like her.. so i swore to myself to not let anything happen to you. And i promise to your mother to take care of you and love you like a father always should. Only Valka loves you very much the others could not accept you since you are well a hiccup. Even your mother's father despise you and said you are not worth to be a chief if you are a hiccup. But my father fought with him which is why they left.. i cried 7 days and 7 night not knowing what to do with you after she left.. i had Gothi and Gobber to look after you during that time. It was really hard for me.. so i couldn't bring myself to look at you in the eye. Untill one day youe mother sent me this..' Stoick took out a very worn piece of paper and showed it to Hiccup and it reads
Take good care of Hiccup for me tell him i love him very much, i will try to come back soon to look at our son. Hopfully he will be like you one day. I know he is not the son you always wanted, but he is still our son. Love him as much as i do and wait for me my love.Tell him i love him always. And always accept our son no matter what he becomes. Just like how we accepted each others love.
And always support him if he ever stray from the path i trust you will be there to help him go back the right way. I'll see you soon.
Love
-Valka Jorgenson.
'Why didnt you tell me this.. and is that how you always look at me! Your OWN SON?!' Hiccup ran out with the letter crying. Toothless ran after him.
'HICCUP!! WAIT!!' Stoick Shouted after him. He turns to see gobber with a helpless look
'Gou after him. He a'is your so'un after all.. Tell him h'ouw yew fe'ul na'ow.' Gobber pushed stoick out of the Great Hall.
Stoick found Hiccup sitting by the shore curled next to toothless. Under the night sky with the moon shining down on them both.
He stood behind them before gathering his courage to talk to his son.
'Hic.. hiccup' As stoick said,
'Why didn't you tell me..' hiccup asked in a teary and broke voice.
'Because you are the only family that i have now.. i can't afford to lose you or see you get hurt.. You are too precious to me.. when i recieved that letter from your mother I knew deep down that i always wanted a son. And you were what i truly wanted.A son to talk to , a son to teach and a son to love and care for. I had been very busy with the village when i became chief. And i didn't have time for you. Because i though it was the right way to raise you the same way my father raise me. Hoping for you to watch and learn everything i do and listen to whatever i told you to do. But when that didnt happen i asked Gobber to teach you, hoping you would be at least worth something. But i was wrong. After you defeated the red death i though that i had lose you for good. But thanks to Toothless. I was so afraid of losing you. I didn't listen to you and i learn my mistake.Then i realise that i never had time for you ,i am not being father for you. Son i am sorry for how i ignored you for the past few years. I hope you would forgive me. '
'Dad....' Hiccup tried to say but he was crying really hard. Stoick pulled hiccup in for a hug.
'Dad.. i forgive you' hiccup said to him while hugging. And they continue to hug for awhile.Without caring that the whole village was watching them from a far. Astrid wipe her eyes and mumbled 'good for you hiccup'
Stoick put hiccup down and place a hand on his shoulder and said
'Son i am very proud of you. Congratulation on entering Hogwarts. I am pretty sure your mother would be very proud of you too'
