How To Mend A Broken Heart 2

Chapter 32

When you both got back to Berk, the villagers were already feasting for their last meal of the day. As you four began to walk towards the Grand Hall, you slipped the necklace in your armor, shielding it away from gazing eyes. When you and Hiccup had gotten your food, you sat with the gang.

"Where have you guys been? You've been gone for hours!" Snotlout exclaimed.

"Just exploring." You answered, shrugging your shoulders nonchalantly. "Nothing much."

"There had to be at least something." Fishlegs said.

"Not really, there was just a few Terrible Terrors, nothing much." Hiccup replied. 

"Another exploring adventure gone boring." Snotlout chuckled, shaking his head. "What a shame."

Astrid then smacked the back of his head, causing the gang to erupt in laughter.

"I wouldn't say boring." You mumbled to Hiccup, smiling a bit.

"I wouldn't either." He winked, smiling also before turning back to the gang. "So, what destruction did you guys cause while we were gone?" 

"Nothing." Snotlout answered, eating his chicken. 

"Nothing?" You quirked an eyebrow.

"Astrid wouldn't let us explode stuff." Tuffnut pouted.

"She kept us locked in the dragon stables for awhile before letting us watch the dragons in the academy." Ruffnut explained.

"Speaking of the dragons." Eret turned to look at you. "They were doing great today. They were all calm so whatever you did to them, it really helped."

"Thanks, but who's watching them tonight?" You asked.

"That would be Fishlegs and Snotlout." Astrid answered as you nodded. 

"What are we gonna do with the dragons once they're fully calm around us?" Ruffnut asked Hiccup.

"I don't know, maybe release them back? Once they go back they won't cause much destruction, or we can keep them here. I'll have to think about it." Hiccup shrugged his shoulders.

"We'll figure it out when the time comes." Astrid stated, making you nod in agreement.

When you, Hiccup, and your two Night Furies made it home, Valka had asked if anything excited had happened, to which you and Hiccup had told her the same thing as the gang. You didn't want to lie to her, but you and Hiccup had made a promise to keep. Once that ended, you all headed to bed. 

Once you quickly changed out of your armor and into some leggings and a white wool sweater, you opened the door before crawling into bed. Hiccup came in, setting his armor on his desk before crawling into bed, laying on your right. You both stared at the ceiling for awhile, until you felt Hiccup shift.

You turned your head, seeing that Hiccup was facing you. "Can you believe it? We found more Night Furies. After all these years we finally found them." Hiccup smiled.

"I know, but we can't tell anybody about this, or go back. We made a promise." You told Hiccup.

"I know." He sighed.

"Hey, at least we found more. Now we know that Midnight and Toothless aren't the only ones." You smiled.

He nodded as he closed his eyes, sighing again. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" You furrowed your brows in confusion.

"For not believing you." He replied, opening his eyes slowly. 

"It's fine. I probably wouldn't even believe myself." You chuckled lightly. 

"I mean it, I'm truly sorry." He apologized.

"And it's fine. I mean it." You assured, pecking his lips.

"What are we going to do if the gang catches us talking to Midnight and Toothless, or what if my mom sees us?" He asked.

"We talk to our dragons all the time." You pointed out. "What's the difference?" 

"The difference is that we'll actually be talking to them, having a full conversation with them." He replied.

"Then we'll just have to be careful on how we talk to them. Don't worry so much, okay? We have enough to worry about." You said as he nodded, running his hands through his hair. "Hey, we have things to look forward to, now that we can understand dragons there's going to be a lot of things to look forward to."

"I guess you're right." Hiccup smiled.

"I'm always right."
