Chapter 1

New habits

''This is Berk. For generations, it was vikings against dragons. The battles were forocious, but one day, everything changed.I met Toothless and, together, we've shown people here that, instead of fighting dragons, we can ride them, live with them, even train them.

We didn't have to kill them, we could ally.''

Like every morning for several weeks, the teens from the village had gathered on the cliffs at the east side of the island. Five dragons and their riders were aligned at the edge of one stone pillar, waiting for the signal to start their competition.

''Okay guys, who's up first ? '' Hiccup asked.

''Huh-'' Fishlegs began.

''Me !'' Rustik claimed, rising his fists.

''Actually I think it's-'' Fishlegs tried again.

''Me !''

''Sweet,'' s'impatienta Astrid. ''Thor in a thunder storm, GO !''

''Don't worry, we'll go. And when we go, Hookfang and I, are gonna light up the skyyyyyyyyy !''

The end of his sentence was cut off by a loud scream at the top of his lungs as the Monstruous Nightmare decided to take off without his conscent, dragging him in a dive all along the stone pillar.

The others stared as they left and slalomed between the differents pillars, the stubborn viking still yelling. Hookfang flew, ascended, made a single spin, then dove again to plunge in the sea. He stayed underwater for a few seconds before going up again and going back at top speed to his departure point, just between the Gronckle and the Nadder.

Dumped to the bones, Snotlout patted his chest and head.

''I'm alive… ? I'm alive ! Of course I am !''

Hiccup hold back his urge to laugh while Astrid sighed heavily. Snoutlout was still showing off even if he had clearly not been in control of his dragon. He never really was. Fishlegs couldn't wait for his turn, so he didn't mind to interrupt his friend.

''It'm my turn ! Ready, Meatlug ? Here we go !''

He clenched his fists and didn't even hold on his saddle as the Gronckle took off slowly and calmly. She only flew around the pillar and went back between the Monstruous Nightmare and the Zippleback. The teens' gaze followed them warylly while Fishlegs beamed.

''Yes ! New personal best !''

He bent forward and kissed his dragon's head as she licked his face.

''My turn !''Ruffnut claimed.

''No, my turn !'' Her twin interjected.

''Guys… same dragon.'' Hiccup sighed.

''Oh, right !''

Both bumped their fist and took off. Hiccp slightly shook his head, half amused and half exasperated the twins still had not understood that their dragon may had two head but was a single one being. The Zippleback went down alongside the pillar, then flew towards another one. So far everything was alright, until the twins started to fight again.

Sat on the left neck, Tuffnut wanted to go left, while Ruffnut aimed for the right. When they agreed to listen to each other and change direction, they both did so, so the dragon's necks were twisted and the dragon derouted. Obviously, they ramed into the pillar, and obviously the dragon didn't like that. He went back on the other direction and decided to pay back his riders, so he threw them in the air.

They went so high they thought they would touch the clouds… before falling back, screaming all the air in their lungs.

''OH NO ! THIS IS AWESOME AND SCARY ! AAAAAAH !'' Tuffnut yelled.

The Zippleback caught them both and put them back on their saddles before getting back to the departure spot. When he landed slowly, his riders where calming down their breaths.

''We almost died…'' Ruffnut admitted.

''I know… Go again ?!''

''Yeah !''

''Hey ! It's my turn !'' Astrid growled.

She turned to Hiccup and gave him a defiant smirk.

''You might wanna take notes.''

Then she patted her dragon.

''Let's go, yah !''

The Deadly Nadder took off without hesitation, flying at top speed. Despite the distance, the young riders could hear their friend's voice giving instructions.

The first aerial figure was skimming above the water, creating a swirl of splashes all around them. The second one was a twirl, followed by an ascending spin that gave them enough high to get back to the other. Everything was so fast and fluid it seemed easy to do, which was even more impressive.

When Astrid and Stormfly were back between Toothless and Hookfang, Astrid was proud of their amazed looks. Well, until Snotlout tried to belittle her.

''Yeah, but can you do it without the dragon ?''

Her only answer was a hard punch in the arm, which earned Snotlout snickers from his own dragon.

Then Astrid turned back to Hiccup and invited him to do better than her, he smiled. He shrugged and bent on his fellow dragon, gently patting the side of his neck.

''Well, looks like we've got some competition, here, bud.''

The dragon purred, then he waited for Hiccup to open his prothesis so he could take off. Toothless spun around before diving along the pillar, he straightened at the last time before touching the water, then he slalomed between the other pillars, way much faster than the other did before, then aimed for two peculiar pillars which were linked by a stone bridge-like formation.

Hiccup and Toothless had worked on this figure for several days, and the young viking was pretty proud he could finally show it to his friends. Toothless slowed down just under the bridge, while Hiccup jumped from the saddle and landed on the stone. He ran as fast as he could to catch up with his dragon, jumping on the other side of the bridge to find back his place on the saddle. Toothless then celebrate their success by a new ascending spin.

As the signature whistle from the dragon echoed in the air, the other dragon riders didn't tried to hide how amazed they were.

''Wow nice !'' Snotlout exclamed.

''They're still the best.'' Astrid admitted.

Toothless roared and shot purple-blue lights in the sky, which exploded just above the other vikings and dragons.

''Another win.'' Hiccup complimented his dragon friend. ''Good job, bud.''

Since their morning session was over, the teens went back to the village. Having dragons in the streets was still requiering some arrangements, but Hiccup was really proud to see cohabitation was possible.

''Yeah, dragons… Most people here on Berk will say life is better since we made peace with them. Of course, passing from one day to the following one from night raids to cohabitation causes some troubles. Having these huge winged creatures on the streets and houses is not an easy habit to take, especially when dragons break carts or still food…

But we get used to it, and we keep on developping tricks and tips to make them more docile. I'm not worried, we're gonna make it.

One thing for sure, since we made peace with the dragons, I finally found my place in the clan. Dad gave us the arena so we can turn it into the Dragon Riders Academy, no need to say how proud I am of this.

But what really makes me happy in all of this, it's Joke. My best friend, and now my boyfriend.''

After the battle against the dragons' queen – that the vikings had named the Red Death – Joke had been [bed/ bedded] for a week to recover from his dislocated shoulder. Gothi kept an eye on him, as she kept an eye on Hiccup to make sure he was going easy on his leg. This time, Joke's parents and Astrid made sure Joke was really resting, instead of escaping to hang out with Hiccup and Toothless.

As both their recovery was over, Hiccup couldn't wait to spend time with his brand new boyfriend. He barely had time to spot his white hair in the street Toothless hurried to him and landed just in front of him, successfully catching his attention and stop his walk. Hiccup beamed and dismounted the dragon.

''Hello, you.'' He said to Joke.

''Hi-''

The boy didn't even have time to say one word as the young viking gave him a quick and light kiss. Hiccup hold back a laughter seeing his face instantly turning red. They had to admit red was eye-catching on Joke's pale face. Hiccup felt amused and tenderized, yet his smile faded as, when he aimed to hold Joke's hands, the boy stepped back to avoid him.

He was bright red and tensed, his hands slightly shaking, his voice a mess.

''W-Why did you do that ?'' He asked.

''It's not the first time I do it…'' Hiccup rejoined, puzzled and worried.

''L-Last time I t-thought it was b-because we almost had d-died…''

The way he was stuttering made Hiccup's heart skip a beat, he watched him with a slight smile. The boy was hiding his face in his hands, they looked snow-white compared to his cheeks. Toothless laughed at him, and Hiccup had troubles not doing so as well.

He stepped closer and took his hands so he could see his face and look at him in the eye. Joke couldn't help but averted his gaze, as the blush didn't seem to calm down.

''In that case, I should be more explicit.''

Hiccup tenderly squeezed the pale fingers and asked him the question with a voice so soft he barely believed it was his own.

''Will you be my boyfriend ?''

Joke's blue eyes almost shot out from his skull, and Hiccup could feel the tension in his body. The boy may have been a few inches taller than him, he looked like a small animal captured by a bear. Time seemed to stop around them, and this feeling was increased by the fact Hiccup was holding his breath and his heart had stopped.

Watching Joke's averted gaze, he suddenly feared the boy would say no. However, his suspicions and fear all faded when the white-haired boy finally looked at him. He seemed still embarrassed, still blushing, his voice was still a shaky mess, but his words made the viking's heart melt. For him, it was impossible to be happier than him at that very moment.

''O-Okay, but… huh, can we… can we take it slowly ? Take our time ? I… I really care about you, Hiccup, I… I wouldn't want to risk, huh…''

Hiccup stood frozen in spot, his heart was beating again, so fast and so strong it was aching in his chest.

''I mean...'' Joke added. ''I'm not sure I'm ready for… this.''

Hiccup breathed slowly, calmly, even if his heart was still racing. He was moved by his friend's words. Joke cared about him, maybe not exactly as much as he was caring, maybe Hiccup's feelings were not exactly mutual, or maybe this hesitation was actually due to Joke loving him back ?

Hiccup couldn't say so, but he didn't really care, actually, Joke was caring about him and wanted to make sure their relationship would go well, and he felt even more tenderized and happy. He could see joy in this bright blue eyes, and also a bit of guilt. He could easily see that Joke didn't wanted to hurt him. His ideas finally made sense and, after understanding that, Hiccup felt his worries fading.

His good mood came back immediatly and he squeezed Joke's fingers, still softly.

''Right, of course.'' He said smiling. ''I don't want to rush you. We'll take it slowly, as long as we take it together.''

A new blush crept on Joke's face, and when their eyes finally met, Hiccup's heart raced again, especially when the boy smiled in a way Hiccup has never seen before.

It was not this careless silly smile showing off all his teeth and usually followed by laughter. It was not that asymetrical smirk, omen of a prank. It was a light smile, not showing any tooth, a tender smile, a shy smile. Hiccup felt his face heat up but he couldn't help it, he was just so happy.

He kepts his hands in his and stood on his toes to kiss Joke's forehead, the boy tensed up a bit but Hiccup knew it was only embarrasment, not rejection, and that made him smile even more. He pulled back and got off his hands, sensing Joke finally calming down. His face was getting back to its natural color.

So Hiccup went back on casual topic.

''So ? Now peace is established with dragons, how about we find you one ?''

Joke's bright smile instantly came back, making the young viking's heart flutter. He took his hand again and dragged him along the streets, running to the academy.

There, they found Astrid and Fishlegs with their dragons. Fishlegs was reading the dragon manual, his back against his Gronckle's side. The blond stout viking had been surprise to discover the dragon was actually a girl, but since that day he litterally became gaga over her. On her side, Astrid was training with her dragon. She was throwing shields at her, giving intructions so the Nadder would pin it to the wall with her tail spikes.

However, when they saw the three frames entering the ex-ring, they all stopped and smile to welcome them.

''Well, well, look at who it is.''

Joke smiled, a bit self-conscious, and let go of Hiccup's hand to walk to his sister, who hugged him cautiously.

''Mom let you out, today ?''

''Gothi did, she said I was healed.''

''You recovered faster than last time.''

''Last time, I had two broken ribs.''

Astrid laughed.

''Yes, and last time you spent your time disobeing and wandering here and there. See what happens when you stay put.''

She ruffled his hair with a bit of mischief, but he quickly chased her hands away, which amused the others.

Fishlegs joined them.

''So ? What brings you here ?''

''What brings me here, you think ?'' Joke laughed with his usual enthusiasm. ''I came to find my own dragon.''

''Oh, you want to become a dragon rider, too ?''

''Hel yeah !''

''Don't forget he spent more time on a dragon's back that you guys did.'' Hiccup said with a hint of proud in his voice. ''He learnt to fly with Toothless.''

As if confirming it, the Night Fury rubbed his head on the boy's arm and purred. The teens smiled at it, until the Deadly Nadder rushed to him and growled, the Night Fury backed, grunted.

''Stormfly ?'' Astrid asked, confused.

It surprised them all, it was as if Stormfly didn't wanted the Night Fury to touch the boy. Even Meatlug growled.

''Weird, she's not like this usually.'' Astrid assured.

''Maybe she's hungry ?'' Fishlegs suggested. ''Or maybe she's tired from the training ?''

''Yeah, it must be that…''

She scratched her dragon under the chin, which Stormfly appreciated, she chirped. She seemed back to normal, unlike Toothless who glared at her, he seemed irritated.

''Well…'' Hiccup said, eager to change the subject. ''Should we start ? I suggest we gather some dragons from the village, see if Joke would have more affinities with one specie in particular. Any preference ?''

He turned to the white-haired boy, which had slipped his hands in his pants' pockets. He only shrugged in reply. He seemed so careless one could have thought he didn't care at all, but Hiccup knew too well, and it was confirmed when Astrid, Fishlegs and him came back at the arena with a group of dragons. Joke's eyes glittered and he couldn't help but bounce on his feet.

The teens had gathered one dragon from each specie they could find in the village. The Gronckle they had found was grey, the Zippleback was orange, the Deadly Nadder was more green than blue and the Monstruous Nightmare was darker than Hookfang.

The teens gathered them in front of their enthusiastic friend.

''I can't believe there are so many in the village, now. It's like a dream becoming true !'' He beamed.

''You still were too fascinated by them.'' Astrid teased.

''So what ? You can't blame me for that. I mean, look at them : they're all more magnificent and impressive than each other !''

Astrid smiled and shook her head to try and not to laugh, then she gently pushed him to them. Hiccup was surprised by her gentleness, by the way. Astrid had always been the violent type. Even if, since the peace, they had become friends, he still had only few occasions to see her as a soft girl, she was only that way with her little brother, anyway.

Joke didn't wait for another permission and walked to the dragon, which were supervised by Hiccup, Fishlegs and their dragons. Yet, when all the winged creatures noticed the white-haired boy presence, they froze. All of them, without exception. They all stared at him, surprising the vikings.

If only one of them had reacted like that, it would not mean anything, but all of them… They were staring at Joke with curiousity and what looked like fascination. Joke hesitated of a second, then tried to approach the Deadly Nadder. Astrid smiled seeing they had the same taste concerning dragons.

The boy lifted his hand to try and touch the dragon's snout, but said dragon backed, lowering his head. It was strange, he seemed to be bowing in front of the boy, and it made Hiccup recall what had happened with the Monstruous Nightmare during his final exam of dragon training. When Joke had came in to help him, the red dragon had reacted the same, he had bowed in front of him.

Joke stood motionless, as confused as his friends, not sure how to react. He tried again and made a step toward the dragon, but he backed away without lifting his head. Turning to his friends in hopes of an explanation, Joke found nothing else but astounded and abashed faces.

He looked back at the Nadder, and tried with the other dragons. All of them lowered their head in his direction. What was that meaning ?

Worried they all would do that, Joke tried to approach the grey Gronckle. He backed too. The Monstruous Nightmare too, so fast it looked like he was afraid of Joke. The Zippleback lifted and spread his head, clearly showing he was not going to be touched by the white-haired boy.

''Why are they doing that ?'' Joke asked, deception and sadness in his tone.

''I don't know...'' Hiccup admitted.

The young viking's heart shattered when he met his boyfriend's confused and sad look, but he couldn't find any explanation.

Here it is with the first chapter, hope you like it ! Don't hesitate to tell me if you had found mistakes, reviews help to improve.

So we start this story with a mystery, what is it the dragons feel in Joke that make them act so distant with him ?

See you tomorrow for chapter 2.

Love and scales !
