The Dragon Conquer (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 18: New prosthetic/ sweet time

(Normal pov)

"Will you hold still lad!"

"Gobber, I love you and all, but I'm not wearing that... abomination you call a peg leg."

The peg leg created by the Hooligan blacksmith is made out of metal and wood. The wooden section, which acts like his ankle, is attached to his leg while the metal part, which acts as his foot, is hooked onto the wood. There's also a spring inside to act as a shock absorber.

Gobber acts like his feelings are hurt. "Lad, you're like the son I never had, I'm just trying to help you get back on your feet, literally." Hiccup rolled his eyes, the young Viking was making sure not to be seen, but he trusted Gobber; the man was like a second father to him, he taught him everything about being a blacksmith and just a big goof ball.

"Believe me Gobber, I thank you for making that for me but—"

"I don't want to hear it lad. Just put the bloody peg leg on and you can make your own later."

Hiccup sighed and teased. "Will you stop moaning like a woman on her period if I put it on?" Gobber growled and raised his hook. "Hiccup..." He said in a warning tone, but the young Viking laughed and raised his hands up. "Relax old timer, I'm teasing you, gimme the ugly leg." Gobber extends the prosthetic to Hiccup but let's go of it as soon as Hiccup reaches for it.

"Wow, I you're gonna be like that huh?"

Gobber shorts and shots back. "Hey, you're the one who called it an abomination, you wanna crawl around like a baby, be my guest, but that's the best I can do for you right now without drawing any unwanted attention." Hiccup sighed and grabbed the prosthetic and attached it to his stump, he slowly got up and hissed in pain as his still sensitive stump came in contact with the hard wood of the peg leg.

He took his first step and stumbled, but he caught himself on a nearby support beam, Hiccup panted and grunted as he slowly got back on his feet, and took slow and easy steps, until he fell again, he growled and slammed the ground with his fist.

"Need a hand?"

Hiccup looked up to Heather with her hood draped over her face, he rolled his yet accepted her help, she pulled him back up and Gobber approached them. "How's the leg lad?" Hiccup examined and nodded. "I'm definitely going to upgrade it, starting now." Hiccup turned to Heather and smiled at her. "Wanna keep me company?" Heather smirked and ruffled his hair, causing him to laugh and swat her hand away.

"Of course I'll keep you company, besides, if Snotlout or one of his thugs attacks...?" She drew he double blades axe out. "...well, it won't go well for them." Hiccup smirked at his female comrades edginess, especially in a tribe ruled by ego maniacs.

Gobber turned around to see villagers approaching for weapons. "Lad, you keep out of trouble you hear? I'd rather savor the moment you reveal yourself to the whole tribe." Hiccup smiled and nodded, Gobber closed the door to his former apprentices room, Hiccup began sketching blueprints for his next peg leg.

During the time, Heather and Hiccup talked about each other's pasts, their dreams, passions and their favorite foods, and so on.

Heather came up behind Hiccup and started massaging Hiccup's shoulders, she dug her thumbs into the spots where he was most tense, Hiccup groaned as her hands melted the stress away, Heather noticed how tense her leader was.

"You're tense."

Hiccup hummed and replied. "I've come this far Heather and now...? I don't know, I need a capable prosthetic, one that I can trust in the heat of battle, I need to figure out how exactly I remove Snotlout from power and—" Heather cut Hiccup off by covering his mouth, he turned around in question.
