THWAK!!

"Such a weakling!"

"Why didn't the chief throw him off the cliffs as a baby?"

"He's such a loser."

"Maybe he's just the Chiefs bastard son."

"Get up Useless!"

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III got back on his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood. To be greeted by a fist connecting to his gut and a knee connecting to his face, causing Hiccup to fall on back in agony.

His cousin Snotlout and his lackeys: Magnus, Helga, Brenna, and Stefnir were the Hooligan princes biggest haters and bullies. Snotlout yanked Hiccup by the hair and he yelped in pain, he closed his eyes waiting for another hit, but no blow was landed.

At least not on him.

"If you lay one more hand on Hiccup Snotlout, I'll chop off your balls and shove them down your throat!!"

Hiccup smiled at the sight of Astrid Hofferson. She's his biggest crush and secretly, his girlfriend. She then punched Snotlout in the throat, knees him in the gut and throws him into a nearby shack; causing the stocky bully's weight to break the wood. Snotlout's lackeys are about to attack Astrid, but she draws her battle axe and points it at them, stopping the bullies in their tracks.

"Now get out of here and leave Hiccup alone before I kill you all myself." Snotlout got up from the shack and groaned in pain, it made his blood boil with rage to see Astrid defending his sickly and pathetic excuse of a cousin. But, Snotlout just scoffed and grabbed his lackeys attention. "Let's go." They grumbled yet followed their ring leader.

Astrid attaches her axe to her back and turns around to a bloodied and dirt stained Hiccup, she kneels before him and examines his injuries. "Thanks, for coming to my aid Astrid." She smiles at him and kisses him, he returns the kiss, but they break it before anyone sees. "C'mon babe, lets get you to Gothi." She helps him up and the couple make their way to Gothi's hut.

Upon entering elders hut, Gothi frowned at the sight of the Hooligan heir bloodied and dirty, she hand signaled Astrid to place him on the bed, she nodded and placed her boyfriend on the bed, he groaned in pain but tried relaxing. Astrid helped Gothi apply healing paste to the bruises on Hiccup's body. "Astrid, why do they hate me so much?" Hiccup asked through gritted teeth, the pain spread throughout his body and it hurt him. Astrid caressed Hiccup's cheek lovingly and he leaned into her touch. "I don't know babe, perhaps they're jealous of your position and royal blood claim to the throne of Berk." Hiccup nodded and sat up slightly and thanked Gothi, the elder nodded and walked off to her desk.

"Ever since we've been kids, Snotlout and his lapdogs have always beat me down, humiliated me or shown me nothing but hatred. All I have in this village is my father, Gothi, Gobber, Fishlegs, Ruff, Tuff and you Milady." Astrid smiled sadly at Hiccup, he's always been there for her, even helped her when her Uncle Finn was killed by the Flightmare. She was extremely fortunate to have a boyfriend like Hiccup, not only did he respect her, but he was interested in more than her beauty, but fiery personality and she absolutely loved that about him.

"I won't let those idiots hurt you Hiccup, you've been trained by myself and your father in weapons for years, why don't you bring out the pain on them?" Astrid asked, ever since they dated, Hiccup asked her to help whip him into shape and to train in weapons, though Hiccup could wield weapons in the smithy, he didn't know how to fight. And over the years they've been dating, Hiccup's skills were greatly improved.

Hiccup sighed and sat on the beds edge and answered his girlfriends question. "Because I'm hoping to make peace with him, he's still family." Astrid nodded in understanding but didn't like the idea, Snotlout and the Jorgensons have always been jealous of Hiccup and Stoicks position of power and blood claim to the throne and the Jorgensons believed they should be the rightful rulers of Berk, not the Haddocks.
