Truth or Dare

Hiccup had finished packing his bag. The dragon academy was going on a training mission to a small deserted island Snotlout had found. Actually, it was more of a fun camping trip. It was two days after Hiccup had been captured by Outcasts, and his father was driving him mad.

Stoick had become amazingly overprotective, to the point where he had tried to make Hiccup stay in the house. He eventually gave up after Hiccup and Toothless kept sneaking out the back door to teach lessons at the academy.

At first, Stoick hadn't wanted his son to go, but Gobber talked to him, and told him that the island was on the opposite side of Berk from Outcast Island. By the time Alvin could learn where Hiccup was, the dragon riders would be on their way back to Berk.

When Hiccup got to the academy, he found all the other riders all ready there. "Ok, gang, ready to leave?"

"We've been ready for ages, where have you been?" Demanded Snotlout. "Oh, Dad nearly changed his mind again. We should go before he actually does change it."

"Race you there!" Yelled Astrid, her Deadly Nadder launching her into the sky.

Once the teens landed, they immediately started setting up camp, working like a well-oiled machine. Mostly. Sort of. Not really.
Within a minute, the twins were beating each other up. The rest of the gang ignored them.

Nightfall came quickly. The academy members sat around the fire. "I'm bored!" Stated Tuffnut. Before Hiccup could intervene, Snotlout sat up. "I have an idea!"

"A once in a lifetime occasion." Remarked Astrid sarcastically. "Whatever, laugh it up. This idea is brilliant! We should play truth or dare!" The gang all agreed, even though Fishlegs looked nervous.

Since Snotlout had the idea, he got the first dare. Predictably, he made Astrid kiss him. After it was over, Hiccup stared at Astrid. "Sorry, milady, but I'm not kissing you for a week!" Astrid just snorted and washed out her mouth.

Next, Astrid dared Tuffnut to take off his clothes. The daring went on like that, until it was Snotlout's turn again. "I'm daring Hiccup! All of the guys have taken off some of their clothes, it's your turn! Take off your shirt!" Snotlout's main motivation was to show Astrid how scrawny Hiccup was, but he was surprised when all he got was a flat "No."

"Now, Hiccup, you have to! Or are you a coward?!"

Hiccup whirled around and glared at Snotlout fiercely. "Fine! If you're that determined to see, then have a look!" With that, Hiccup took off his shirt. Where everyone had though he was weak, Hiccup had strong muscles that were well defined and lean. However, the most surprising thing was the scars. "Hiccup, what happened?" Astrid asked softly.

Hiccup pointed to a few small burns and scars. "This is from learning blacksmithing from Gobber. He believes in learning on the job. This," he said as he pointed to a few bigger, older, scars, "was from when I was five. Alvin kidnapped me, and I was a bit too mouthy." The teens were watching him, shocked. Next, Hiccup pointed to some extremely new scars. "And these are from a few days ago, when I refused to train Alvin's dragons."

"Oh, Hiccup." Astrid sighed softly and walked up to the defensive boy and hugged him. "I'm so sorry." "It's not your fault. It's mine, a little bit of Gobber's, and a whole lot of Alvin's."
