Hiccup and south are 35, ash is 15

Souths p.o.v

My phone pings, so I reach over hiccup to grab it.
"You could have just asked me to get it"
"It could have been my side piece, though" I joke. He scoffs and laughs
"Dang, Okay" I giggle and check the text. It's from ash's school, asking us to come in for an important meeting
"Hm. The school wants a meeting with us" hiccup looks at my phone and frowns
"Huh. I wonder why. I suppose we'll find out tomorrow"

Tomorrow

Me and hiccup walk into the school and sign in. We're told to wait for ash and his head of year. Before long, they arrive. Ash has his head down.
"What happened?" I ask. The teacher sighs
"Come through here" we're led to a conference room. Ash is sat at one side of the table, me and hiccup on another with the teacher opposite us
"So, we called you here because we have been informed of some concerns regarding ash's behaviour" I frown
"He's been getting in trouble?"
"Yes. Silly things like getting angry at students and getting into fights" I gasp
"Fights? Was anyone hurt?" Hiccup asks
"Not badly, no. That isn't our main concern. Yesterday, We had a student come to us saying he believed ash had been self harming" it feels like my whole body freezes
"W-well they were wrong, right ash?" I look at him. He hangs his head
"No... ash, please lift your sleeve" He shakes his head. I see a year drop onto the table. I gently reach out and take his hand. He doesn't fight me, only lets me roll up his sleeve. My heart stops as I see the angry red and white lines running up his wrist.
"Oh ash... was it us? We're we bad parents?"
"No! Of course not! I just..." I reach out and take my son Into my arms.
"We'll talk more about this at home. Thank you, sir." Hiccup says. I stand up and ash comes with me. We drive home in silence.
"Ash, go get changed then come back down here, please" he nods defeatedly and walks away
"South... we have to tell him" I know that hiccup is referring to the one thing we hid from him.
"I know but... why him? Did we not do it right?" Hiccup hugs me
"No, sweetheart. I don't think it was us. We raised him as best we could. It has to be something else" ash comes back in. He's wearing a short sleeved shirt revealing all of the cuts in his arms. I hold back tears and I walk up to him.
"Ash... why did you do this?"
"It's just... I... I'm sorry, I don't want to live anymore" he sobs. My heart cracks
"No, baby. That isn't the answer. Me and your father know that better than anyone" he looks up at me
"W-What?" I glance over at hiccup. He nods. I remove my cardigan as he removes his hoodie, revealing our own cuts. He gapes at them
"I-I don't understand"
"The only reason we are alive today is because of you. We know what it's like, son. We're better now, so let us be here for you through this" hiccup reaches forward and cradles ash's face. Ash begins to sob and crashes into his father. Hiccup holds him tight, extending one arm out to me. I join the hug, stroking my sons hair.
"It's gonna be alright, baby. I promise" I whisper to him as he sobs into hiccup's chest.
"I promise"

Short and sweet, I guess
