One beautiful morning on the Edge, one Night Fury riding, one-legged viking wasn't feeling too well. His cheeks were red, he was coughing all night, he had a sore throat, and his face was unnaturally pale.
When he didn't show up for breakfast in the morning, Astrid started getting worried.
"Has anyone seen Hiccup, he's usually up by now and has breakfast?" she asked her friends.
"He's probably out on a flight with Toothless. No need to worry babe," Snotlout replied. That got her angry and didn't reassure her much, even though she knew it was probably true.
"Don't call me babe," She walked over and punch Snotlout.
"Sorry Astrid I have to agree he's probably out on a morning flight. He'll probably show up in a couple minutes." Fishlegs assured her. The gang waited for half an hour, but Hiccup never showed up. His friends now starting to get worried at where their leader and friend could be and what trouble he might be in.
"Okay maybe we should be a little worried. He never takes this long without telling us. Why don't we check his hut?" Fishlegs suggests. They all nod and walk towards Hiccup's hut.
While the gang was waiting for Hiccup, Toothless was also worried about his best friend. Toothless whined and pressed his nose into Hiccup's chest.
"I'm f..f.ine bud." He coughed out. Toothless laid at the bottom floor ready to protect a sick Hiccup and there in a hurry if Hiccup needed him.
Soon he heard knocks at Hiccup's hut. He got in a defensive stance ready for anything that tries to hurt Hiccup. Soon 5 familiar teenagers walk in and Toothless whines at them with a sad look.
"Weird why is Toothless here?" Fishlegs asks.
"He must still be here" Ruff says.
"Hiccup are you up there?" They get no response which worries them further because wherever Hiccup was Toothess was and vise versa. The quickly headed up the stairs to see a motionless Hiccup lying on his bed curled up with a scrunched face. They all ran to his side. Astrid put her hand against his forehead to feel the overly hot skin.
"Oh no he's running a fever. Ruff, Tuff go get two buckets one filled with cold water the other empty and a cloth." Astrid demands.
"Why one empty?" Tuff asks.
"So if he pukes, mutton heads." Snotlout replies.
"Awesome." Him and his twin say at the same time and immediately start arguing.
"Guys just go get the buckets. Hurry. Fishlegs make some soup and Snotlout go to Berk and get Goth, Gobber, and Stoick." she says. Snotlout quickly nods knowing the urgency of the situation.
"Hey Hiccup, it's Astrid how are you feeling?"
"Not good," his face turns green and I grab the empty bucket and put it up to his face as he sits up and pukes in it. I rub his back soothingly. He lays back down and I grab the cloth and wet it. Then I place it on his forehead.
"This should help bring down his fever," Fishlegs comes back some soup.
"This should help and I also made some medicine, but it won't work well as Gothi's," he says as he hands me both.
"Hiccup do you think you can eat?" I ask him quietly. He shakes his head.
"Not hungry," he mutters.
"It will make you feel better." he still shakes his head.
"Here take this it's medicine that will help until Gothi gets here," He drinks it.
Stoick's POV
"CHEIF, CHEIF!" I turn around to see Snotlout running towards me.
"Oh Snotlout I didn't know you guys were coming. Where's Hiccup and everyone else?"
"Not here. Hiccup's got a fever and is pretty sick," He says. Oh my boy he mush be feeling horrible. I hope he hasn't gotten clingy yet because when he gets sick he gets clingy, like really clingy.
"Ok Snotlout, go get Gothi, while I get Gobber and then we leave right away," After we get Gothi and Gobber, we head to sky and hurry to Dragon's Edge.
Many Hours Later
We finally land and I quickly run to Hiccup. I see him lying in bed, with a cloth on his head and the rest of the gang watching over him. He soon sits up quickly with a green looking face. Astrid quickly grabs a bucket as he pukes. I sit on the edge of the bed and rub his back. When he's done he looks up to see me.
"Daddy?" He asks. It must be pretty bad if he's calling me 'daddy.'
"Did he just say 'daddy?'" The twins say at the same time snickering.
"Yes he gets very clingy when he's really sick. He hasn't been this bad for awhile," I respond and quickly glare a them. He moves so that he is laying on my chest.
"Daddy, I don't feel well," I wrap my arms around him.
"I know son, just rest. Gothi will help you,"
"Wow this is the most Hiccup's ever be so cuddly with except for with Astrid," Snotlout says.
"Like I said clingy," Gothi walks over and hands me some medicine.
"She says he should be much worst - ow - I mean better by tomorrow," Gobber translates, but gets hit in the head by Gothi for his mistranslation.
"I'll stay till he feels better," I say to the riders. They soon leave, it took a little more convincing to get Astrid to go though.
"I love you son," He say as you put my hands through his sweaty hair.
"Love ya too dad," He mutters.
