Remember, Hiccup (HTTYD)

You Don't Remember, Do You?

Toothless looked at Hiccup with wide, confused eyes, taken aback from his outburst. What did he mean by his terrified scream of 'Why is there a dragon in my room'? Toothless had always slept in Hiccup's room, why was this such a shock to him? Toothless then crooned comfortingly to Hiccup, trying to get him to calm down, but when he took just one step toward the boy he erupted into more screams and cries for help.

"SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, PLEASE HELP ME! THERE'S A DRAGON IN MY ROOM!"Hiccup screamed at the top of his lungs, eyes wild with fear. His screams were so loud he could probably be heard from half way across the village. 

Then, as if to prove that point, the door flew open as Stoick, having heard the commotion, raced into the house and shot up the stairs to Hiccup's room yelling, "Son!"

"Dad!" Hiccup cried as he saw the chief coming to his rescue. "Oh, thank the gods! The dra-" Hiccup couldn't finish his sentence because Stoick had already braced him in a bone-crushing hug while crying, "Son! You're awake! You're awake!"

This, of course, was not what Hiccup had expected his father to do. He'd thought his father, chief of the tribe, greatest dragon fighter in the village, would have rushed in and taken down the Night Fury before him with one, single blow, not hug him at such a dire moment.

"Dad! Behind you, the dragon! How can you not see it?!" Hiccup yelled at his father in terror, gasping for air from the hug. Was his father blind? How could he not see the dragon, the Night Fury, the dragon everyone was after, standing only five feet away from them!?

"Oh, son! I'm so happy you're awake!" Stoick continued on, so overjoyed that his son was awake that he didn't even notice Hiccup pointing at Toothless with a shaky, fearful finger. "You don't even know how worried your friends, myself, Gobber, and-"

"THE DRAGON!" Hiccup then shrieked, pointing to Toothless, who was now at the foot of the bed, confused as ever.

"Yes, Toothless has been worried sick about you. He wouldn't eat or sleep until you woke up. You should be proud to have a loyal companion like him," Stoick replied calmly and then, to Hiccup's dismay, patted Toothless on the head.

"Dad, what are you doing!? That's a dragon, a monster! Now do something before it kills us!" Hiccup shrieked.

Toothless felt his jaw drop in shock and a piece of his heart shatter. Monster? Since when did Hiccup ever call him a monster? And kill? Toothless would never hurt Hiccup or someone he loved.

Stoick was just as shocked as Toothless and replied, "What are you talking about son? Toothless is no monster he's-"

At that moment, the Viking teens came flooding into the house, making their entrance known as they yelled things like, "Hiccup! You're awake!" and "We were so worried about you!"

Hiccup, startled and confused by their loud entrance, just looked at the group of noisy teens now before him with wide eyes before he grew tired of all their chattering and yelled, "Hold up! What are you guys doing here?"

The teens then just looked at each other, puzzled that Hiccup didn't remember what had happened, before Snotlout said mockingly, "What do you think we're here for, your birthday?" This got him a punch in the stomach from Astrid, which made Snotlout groan and clutch it before wheezing, "We heard that you were up."

"Yeah! We could hear you all the way from our house!" Ruffnut pitched in, imitating Hiccup's scream to prove her point, though it sounded more like a strangled crow.

"No, No it was more like this!" Tuffnut interjected as he did his own rendition of Hiccup's screams, which actually sounded more like a scream. The two twins then burst out laughing before receiving a glare from Astrid.
