Hiccup And The Gang Short Stories

Protective

Next Chapter

Bit scary...Just warning you

------------------------

Toothless carefully watched the Viking teens train with their weapons.

Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins practiced with weapons while riding their dragons, while Astrid taught Hiccup on the ground how to use some more basic weapons. Snotlout and the twins flung their weapons carelessly, making Toothless twitchy. 

Toothless trusted very few people to be near HIccup, and Snotlout and the twins were certainly not on that list, even less so with large dangerous weapons on their person. Toothless growled at Tuffnut when an arrow embedded itself in the wall right next to HIccups head.

"It's ok bud" Hiccup gently assured Toothless who continued to glare at Tuffnut. Smiling Hiccup turned back to Astrid who was at the moment trying to help Hiccup learn to use an ace. HIccup experimentally swung the axe around, stumbling slightly from the weight of it.

Toothless knew that HIccup was underweight, but he wanted to ask his rider why he felt the need to use something so dangerous to bulk up? Did he enjoy making the Night Fury uncomfortable? It was bad enough when Hiccup picked up axes and other large weapons to work on them in the shop, but learning how to use one? Toothless' scales would turn grey very quickly if Hiccup kept this up.

"Watch this!" Snotlout shouted picking up a bow and jumping onto his dragon. Hookfang obediently flew into the air and to the opposite side of the ring from the target, with Hiccup and Astrid a few feet to the right of the target.

"Snotlout..." Astrid warned, but Snotlout didn't listen. Just as Snotlout was about to fire, Barf and Belch snapped at Hookfang causing him to jerk and throw off Snotlout's already horrible aim. HIccup shouted in pain and Astrid Screamed,

"HICCUP!" Toothless looked over at his rider and saw red everywhere. Hiccup was on the ground groaning, an arrow was sticking out of his chest. Astrid started to reach for Hiccup, but before she could reach him Toothless snarled and batted her away. Astrid slowly picked herself off of the ground as the other teens landed. Fishlegs started shuffling over to Hiccup, only for Toothless to jump in front of him, snarling.

"Snotlout go get Stoick!" Astrid snapped. Snotlout nodded his head and jumped on Hookfang without another word. Astrid carefully started walking forward saying as calmly as possible, "Toothless, Hiccup is hurt, and he needs us-" Astrid had gotten too close to Hiccup for the dragon's liking and snarled at her. HIccup moaned weakly from behind Toothless,

"Toothless..." Toothless turned to look at Hiccup, cooing softly. He could not let these Vikings hurt Hiccup again. No one would get near him...

"Toothless!" Stoick shouted landing in the arena. Toothless turned back to the teens and growled at Stoick who confidently walked over to Toothless, ignoring the dragons increasing growling. "Toothless, Hiccup needs help; he will die unless a healer sees him!" Stoick looked down at his son, fear written plainly across his face.

Da-..d-..." Hiccup croaked before a painful sounding coughing fit racked his thin frame. Toothless crooned and nudged him, trying desperately to sooth the pain he was obviously in. Toothless' body tensed when he heard Stoick take a tentative step forward and growled, but the Viking Chief ignored him and slowly walked closer to an agitated Toothless and Hiccup.

"Please..." Stoick whispered, finally causing Toothless to cave. He could smell the fear radiating off of him and realized that Stoick wouldn't hurt Hiccup. Stoick gently picked Hiccup ip and started to carry him back to the village, Toothless following him very closely. Snotlout, made a move to come with, freezing when Toothless growled at him. He would never forgive the teen for what he'd done, ever.

Stoick tried to keep Toothless out of the healers room, but quickly realized that the dragon would not leave Hiccups side and conceded to let him stay. Once  the healer finished with Hiccup, Toothless crawled into the tiny bed and laid down next to HIccup, laying his tail over the boy protectively. He hated how people kept trying to visit him, Snotlout received several burns for his trouble, and none of the other teens even tried to talk to Toothless after that.

Toothless nudged Hiccup, trying to rouse the boy to no avail. He hated seeing Hiccup seem weak and vulnerable; he wanted Hiccup to be back on his feet working and flying, not lying their lifelessly. Why was Hiccup always getting hurt? Couldn't he stay safe for a day?

Toothless' body tensed when he heard the door open and several pairs of feet walking up the stairs to Hiccups bedroom. Astrid slowly pushed the door open partway and tentatively asked,

"Toothless, is it ok if we come in?" Toothless glared at her, letting out a soft growl. Astrid eyed Toothless warily before pushing the door open the rest of the way and slipped inside followed closely by Fishlegs, the twins and Snotlout. Toothless snarled and Snotlout, who jumped and stammered,

"H-hey I'm sorry I shot Hiccup..." Toothless continued to growl at Snotlout until he's back out of the room completely, through the dragon did not relax. Astrid slowly walked towards the bed, freezing when Toothless started growling warningly.

"Toothless?" Astrid asked slowly, trying to sooth Toothless to no avail.

Toothless had enough of these Vikings hurting HIccup, they may treat him better now but for years they had tormented his best friend, something that was not forgivable in the Night Furies eyes. He would not let any of them hurt Hiccup ever again, he didn't care what Hiccup thought, his so called friends did this to him.

Finally the teens got the message and backed out of the room, leaving Toothless alone with Hiccup. Toothless watched Hiccup intently, wishing he'd wake up and be ok again. Stoick told Toothless that they didn't know when he'd wake up. It was like after the battle of the Red Death (I don't know if it is either Red Death or Green Death) not knowing if his friend would ever wake up, the fear that he'd never see him again... No Hiccup would be alright, he had to be. He was a Viking, Vikings were stubborn and got through everything. It  didn't matter how long it took, Toothless would wait however long he needed to, but just to see his friend again.
