Wyrd (HTTYD fic)

Chapter 1

(Approximately 148 years later)

In the bustling city of Berk a very frustrated young man slammed the double doors of his parents mansion closed with a loud bang.

"Hiccup! Your home." Valka said as she came to the foyer when she heard the loud slam.

"Hi mom. I'm just gonna go up to my room." Hiccup said and ran up the stairs.

"Hiccup!" Valka yelled again, but the only response she got was Hiccup yelling "I'm fine!" from upstairs followed by the slam of his bedroom door.

Valka then made her way to the den where her husband was lounging in a chair while smoking a cigar. Two large Saint Bernards lay curled up near the fire.

"Stoick something is wrong with Hiccup." Valka said as she made her way over to her husband.

"I'm sure it's nothing serious." Stoick replied but then received a smack upside the head from Valka.

"He just slammed the mahogany doors, after he repeatedly told you not to because they are expensive, ran up the stairs yelling that he was fine, and slammed his bedroom door." Valka states dryly while giving Stoick the 'You-can't-be-that-dense' look.

"I'll go have a talk with him." Stoick said as he got up from his chair.

"Good I'll get dinner started then." Valka gave Stoick a kiss and made her way out of the den. "Oh Thor." Stoick mumbled.

He soon found himself in front of his son's bedroom. Stoick knocked a few times and called "Hiccup!!"

"Mom sent you didn't she." Hiccup asked from behind the door. "You might as well come in."

Stoick entered the bedroom and saw Hiccup on his bed stroking his cat Toothless. "Son" Stoick started.

"Melanie and I broke up." Hiccup said. "I really thought she was the one, but she was just like the others."

"What exactly happened son?" Stoick asked taking a seat on the bed causing it to dip sharply and eliciting an unhappy yowl from Toothless who rolled down to the dipped area.

"You know you and mom are great." Hiccup said. "But sometimes I wish we were just a little......... less famous."

"When I started college a lot of girls started throwing themselves at me just because you guys were my parents and that we were filthy rich." Hiccup said with frustration. "And then I met Melanie and I really thought she was different. But I was wrong. She was the same as all the others, just a better actress."

"What happened Hiccup?" Stoick asked concerned.

"Well since finishing college I thought Melanie and I could have a little more time together, so I went to her apartment to take her out to a surprise dinner at her favorite restaurant. When I got there I found her in bed with her neighbor."

Hiccup's POV

"Melanie? You here?" I ask as I use the key she gave me to her apartment to let myself in.

'Melanie's car was in the parking lot so she must be here.' I thought to myself as I closed the door behind me. I then heard voices coming from the bedroom.

As I walked closer the voices got clearer. Her bedroom door wasn't shut properly and what I saw stunned me. There in bed was my girlfriend with her neighbor Richard...... naked.

What I heard next broke my heart.

"So sweetheart you sure your boyfriend won't find out?" Richard asked.

Melanie scoffed. "Of course not. He always calls before coming over."

"Why did you even start a relationship with him?" Richard asked.

"Why do you think Richard. He's a Haddock. The heir to one of the largest technology corporations in the world. Dating him means I get more easily recognized and it will fast track my acting career. I've already gotten a couple of offers I'd normally wouldn't get." Melanie explains.

"Well when can we be together?" Richard asked.

"When I'm done taking him for all he's worth. I got him believing I'm not like all the other women who were after him. Now he's wrapped around my little finger." Melanie replies while flipping her hair a bit. "Honestly, I think I deserve an Oscar." She then laughs.

"If it was for being the biggest bitch, then you'd certainly win." I say opening the bedroom door.

"H..Hiccup!!" Melanie screams trying to cover herself up. "T..This isn't what it looks like." Richard meanwhile was scrambling to put on some pants.

"Isn't what it looks like?" I ask casually observing the rooms occupants.

"Yes Hiccup..... I can explain!!" Melanie says and scrambles out of bed towards me. "We went out to eat and got drunk last night!!" She hastily said.

"Next thing we knew we were in bed together. Hiccup baby... I swear this isn't what it looks like. You know I would never do something like this." Melanie pleads. "Hiccup baby say something. Y..You know I would never do something like this. Can you forgive me? Please?"

I look at Melanie as she pleads with me. I let my eyes soften and tell her "I forgive you Melanie."

Her eyes widen and then she asks "Really?"

"No" I state my eyes hardening once more and then I let out a bitter laugh. "Looks like I deserve an Oscar as well. Did you honestly think I would?"

I toss her the apartment key she gave me. "Don't bother calling me." And then I turn to her neighbor who thought I was going to hit him.

I simply looked at him. "I honestly pity you right now. It wouldn't surprise me if she's using you as well." I state knowing that he works as the stage hand for a theater company.

I then leave the apartment and drive straight home.

Hiccup's POV

I sigh as I finish telling dad the story. He awkwardly pats me on the back. "Well son, you'll find someone who likes you for you." Dad says.

"Yeah, I guess so dad." I tell him. "Sometimes I just wish I could live somewhere where I wouldn't be recognized so easily."

"Hmmm, well I don't see a problem with that." Stoick answered causing my head to snap up. "I was wondering what to get you as a graduation present. How about a house in a quiet town."

"Really dad?" I ask astounded.

"Sure son. You need your own space, especially now that you finished college. Even if we live in a mansion, yer still technically living with your parents." He laughs as he said this. "You can pick the house and place you want to live. Just tell me when you decided."

I was still trying to process dad's statement actually.

Dad laughed again. "Besides yer mom and me want a little alone time as well."

"OH MY GOD DAD!!! SERIOUSLY!!!" I yell. "THAT JUST.. UGH WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO MY POOR BRAIN!!!"

"Now we better get downstairs before your mother burns down the house. She is trying to make dinner." Dad tells me and I pale.

"Is there any way we can persuade her to just order a pizza?" I ask as we exit my room.
