Chapter 9

Peace

When Hiccup opened up his eyes, he had some troubles waking up. He heared Toothless puerring and whinning with worry, and opened his eyes to see his cute dragon face. The Night Fury got excited and pushed his face with his snout.

''Hey, Toothless.

He pushed him even more and even started to lick his face.

''I'm happy to see you, too, bud.''

He tried to stroke the dragon so he would calm down, but then Toothless steps on his stomach, making him jolt in a sitting position. Then he noticed that he was in fact in his bed. Well, not exactly his bed since he was downstairs in the living-room.

''What ? I'm in my house. Oh… You're in my house.''

Toothless got excited again and started to bounce around, against the walls, way too close to the fireplace, smashing in the table.

''Does my dad know you're here ?''

Toothless stoped by his bed and looked at him dead in the eye.

''What ? Okay, okay.''

Then the dragon left again and climbed on the beams. If he kept on doing this, he was going to break something.

''Toothles, no. Toothless ! Oh, come on.''

Hiccup wanted to get up, but he felt something weird under the covers. It lifted it and froze when he saw his legs. Toothless came down and back next to him. Hiccup turned and let his legs hang from the bed. The right one was alright, but the left one… had been amputated. While he was out, someone replaced hte missing part under the knee with a peg leg, but that didn't ease the shock.

Hiccup sniffed the device and let out a very soft noise. Hiccup beathed in as he wanted to get up. He pushed himself up using the edge of the bed and stood without much difficulty. But she he tried to walk, he fell. Toothless immediatly caught him and squealed. Hiccup stroke his head and hold on his shoulder.

''Okay… Thanks, bud.''

The dragon helped him walk to the door, slowly, letting him time get used to the peg leg. With the half tail fin and the half leg, both from the left side, they were now like a matching set. Life could be ironical, sometimes.

By the time they reached the door, Hiccup started to get used to his new leg. Only half of it was in wood, the top part, as the lower part was in metal and had a spring to soften the steps. Hiccup let go of his friend before opening the door, but when he did, he started seeing a dragon. He immediatly shut it closed.

''Toothless, stay here.''

He opened the door again, but noticed the dragon he had seen had actually someone on his back. It was Snotlout and the Monstruous Nightmare.

''Come on, guys ! You ready ?'' He yelled before leaving. ''Hold on tight ! Here we go !''

Another dragon was following him, a Gronckle, but it was not Fishlegs on his back. Actually, it was Mathilda, Snotlout's mother.

Hiccup shyly stepped out of the house and looked all around him in confusion. He didn't recognized Berk. Dragons were roaming everywhere, wakling on the streets, perching on the roofs, of engulfing fish that filled the previous copulas torches.

He even saw a few vikings on dragon's back, and other just living next to them. He couldn't believe it.

''I knew it. I'm dead.''

He heard a laugh as his father came to him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

''No, but you gave it your best shot. So, what do you think ?''

''Hey, look, it's Hiccup !''

Stoick helped his son getting down the few stairs in front of their house as vikings ran to surround him. Hiccup still couldn't believe it. But he had to admit it was true as he even saw Hoark had a Terrible Terror clinging on his back. Stoik proudly smiled and patted his shoulder.

''Turns out all we needed was a little more of… this.''

''You just gestured to all of me.''

His father only replied with a smile and a nodd, then Gobber reached them.

''Well, most of you. That bit's my handiwork.'' He says while gesturing to the peg leg. ''With a little Hiccup flair thrown in. You think it'll do ?''

Hiccup looked at it and even lifted his leg to emphasize the analysis.

''I might make a few tweaks.'' He teased.

The vikings laughed around him, he relaxed but almost fell forward as someone punched his arm. He turned to see Astrid.

''That's for scaring me.'' She said.

''W-What ? Is it always going to be this way ? 'Cause-''

She cut him off by smiling at him. Never before did he see her smile at him, and certainly not with a bright smile like this one. He stayed silent, surprised, and noticed she was giving looks behind him. Since he didn't understand what she was doing, she grabbed his shoulders and made him turn before throwing him forward.

He nearly fell and focused on catching his new fragile balance, then he froze when he saw a pair of barefoot just in front of him. Lifting his head, he saw Joke. The boy had a few scratches on his face, but appart from that, he looked perfectly fine.

''… Joke ?'' He gasped.

''Hiccup !''

The white-haired boy hugged him tightly with great relief. Hiccup blenched but couldn't complain, even if he felt completely lost and confused. When he found his mind again, he quickly wrapped his arms around him to hug him back, but Joke immediatly tensed and let go of him to hold his right arm.

''Joke ? You okay ?'' Hiccup worried.

''Yeah, just a deserted shoulder.''

He seemed to joke about it, and Hiccup had to admit his silly smile would have make him laugh too if he wasn't that surprise and relieved. He wanted to ask him a thousands questions, know how he had survived, but he found himself unable to speak. He was so relieved he had not loose him.

So he grabbed his face and pulled him in for a kiss. The rest of the world disappeared around them when the lips met each other. As he suspected, Joke's were soft, they were even more wonderful he had imagined. He barely heard the vikings around them laugh, tease them and whistle.

When he found the courage to pull away and open his eyes again, he got surprised at Joke's face. His cheeks were a deep red and his eyes shyly averted his. Still, they were filled with this spark he knew all too well. When Joke shyly smiled, The viking's glee came back.

Then Gobber gave him a pat on the shoulder and gave him contraptions that looked like a saddle and a new fake fin for Toothless.

''Welcome home.'' The black-smith said.

The teen smiled but they were cut by a shout.

''Night Fury !''

''Get down !''

They all looked up at the sky before Toothless jumped on them. They all fell of quickly step away, letting the dragon get to his friends. Hiccup let go of the contraptions with one hand to stroke the head of his friend, which got excited again and licked Joke's face. Hiccup's heart skipped a bit when he heard his laughter.

During the battle, he thought he could never hear it again. Yet Joke was still here, by his side. Hiccup felt a blush creep on his face while silently watching at the boy. He got lost in the contemplation of his face and smiled softly. When Joke noticed the stare, he averted his eyes once again, rubbing his nape. Hiccup smiled even more, he was so adorable when he was doing this.

He came closer and took his valid hand.

''I want to try Toothless' new fin, are you coming along ?''

''Of course !''

After strapping everything in place, Hiccup mounted Toothless, Joke just behind him. His arm around his waist gave him a feeling of completeness he had never felt before. It didn't took him long to understand it was also thanks to Toothless' presence and the other dragons in the village. But Joke's arm around him, it felt just right, as if they had been made to be like this. This tought warmed up his heart.

While making the fake fin, Gobber had even thought about replacing the platform Hiccup used to pilot the fin, adjusting it to the peg leg. Hiccup appreciated that. The fin even had design on it. It was red and had a dreawing that looked like a mixture of a viking and a dragon, the face looked viking-like, just like the horns that were helmet horns, but the teeth were definitively a dragon. Before taking off, he looked at the street full of dragons. It seemed surreal, it felt like a dream.

When the Night Fury took off, he flew over the village and went at top speed just above te streets. Seeing them swirling and laughing, the other teens joined them on their own dragons. Astrid with her Deadly Nadder, Fishlegs and his Gronckle, Snotlout and his Monstruous Nightmare, the twins with their Zippleback…

''This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year and hails the other. Food that grows here is tought and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies or parrots, we have dragons !''
