That was it. Just that one evening and afterwards he didn’t feel sick again. But even then, Stoick stayed by his side the entire night just to make sure. Not to difficult as both him and Gobber have set up camp at the clubhouse for the time being, which is the building nearest to Hiccup’s hut. Well, the nearest besides Astrid’s hut.

Meanwhile, Dagur has taken up residence in Snotlout’s and his sister stays with her. Their stay since joining the Dragon Riders has been long enough that there would be no point in sleeping in tents, yet likely not long enough to build them homes of their own. There was no way for them to know how long it would take for them to find Hiccup, though ten weeks certainly wasn’t ideal. They refused to take up residence in his hut, figuring he would need his space and they were right.

Hiccup didn’t do well with overbearing people before Viggo, he’s certainly not going to handle them well now and these are uncertain times.

However, when morning comes, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t look like he has been sick. He’s still pale, there’s a trembling to him and he feels cold. But all of that lasts until the morning passed. His appetite, on the other hand, hasn’t come back at all and now he can no longer stand the smell of food. It’s a trigger, the spicier, the worse the trigger.

The Dragon Riders decide he needs a little pick-me-up and what better way to cheer his mood than dragons?

Viggo may have accomplished a lot, they doubt he managed to even scratch his love for dragons.

He still isn’t flying, Toothless has been walking around without his saddle or even his tailfin as he follows Hiccup everywhere he goes. In the rare event that they do see them, that is. And no one can quite tell if the Night Fury has tried and failed or if he’s waiting for the right moment to return him to the sky. But what Toothless can do, is to drag him out of bed, out of his hut and towards the stables. There, the other dragons seem to take over. The second he catches sight of them and they of him, Hiccup works without thinking.

“Hey guys,” he smiles and he embraces each of the dragons, who leave their human partners to surround him. If the humans got to see so little of him, they got see almost nothing of him.

Hookfang scolds him for exactly that, blowing smoke at him while Barf’s head is in his arms and Belch rubs his cheek up and down his back.

Hiccup coughs. “I know, I know, Hookfang. I’ve been really unfair to you guys.”

He says it so softly, with such a loving smile that it almost makes the him they’ve been seeing for the past two weeks and a half vanish from their minds entirely. Astrid elbows Snotlout and points with her thumb out of the stables, figuring they could give them a moment to reunite properly. As she walks out, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Heather, Dagur, and Snotlout follow.

At the entrance, hand on a post, Snotlout lingers for a moment to look back. Hookfang has somehow wormed his snout back into Hiccup’s arms and he purrs. Meatlug and Stormfly impatiently wait for their turn while Toothless sits on the sidelines completely.

“I’ll make it up to you guys, I promise,” his best human friend tells his best dragon friend, who makes a noise that tells them both that he’s going to hold him to that.

Snotlout is just about to move on, smiling, when he hears something troubling.

“Hey, uh, not to make things awkward, but… You- you guys still like me, right?” Hiccup asks, Hookfang’s chin in his hands. The Nightmare looks up to him, confusion only he and the other Riders can read visible on his features.

He blows more smoke, whatever could he mean?

“Dragons, they… They don’t like me anymore,” Hiccup tries to laugh it off. He shrugs and tries to laugh, but his discomfort is painfully obvious and Snotlout can’t help but stare. What the Hel does he mean?

“An-and I’m worried that, uh, that the other Dragon Riders know more than they’re- than- than they’re letting on. But, you guys know and that- and that didn’t change the way you guys see me, right? You know everything. About them, about me, and… you know.” From his angle, with Hiccup surrounded by the dragons as they listen in closely, he can’t see him place a hand on his belly.

Snotlout certainly tries to get a closer look, eyes squinting, trying not to get noticed as he leans in closer.

Stormfly chirps, confirming that they do know something. Human scents change when something inside of them does, same as dragons.

But Hiccup continues despite her answer.

“An-an-anyway, you still know me, you know that I would never ever hurt any of you. Right?” He won’t be getting any verbal responses spoken in the human tongue, not even from Snotlout. Though he is just about to stop inside, when Meatlug nuzzles Hiccup with her big sweet head and he hugs her. Stormfly places her head on his back, cooing, and Hookfang’s chin on his head. Leaving Barf and Belch to struggle to find a part of him to cuddle, too, and Toothless to sits out of the circle, just happy to watch.

They stay like this and this moment lasts, it’s doing Hiccup some good to be surrounded by all of the first dragons he ever bonded with and feel their love, even though they can smell the things that have happened to him. He’s still theirs and the Grimborns rubbing their scent all over him and putting their baby in him hasn’t changed that.

But something inside of Snotlout changes as he walks over to the other Riders and realizes that they haven’t even begun to scrape the tip of this iceberg.

[anonabelle]

Couldn't resist busting out a warmup sketch while listening to one of my comfort osts. This is Berk always makes me feel so emotional. What a way to open a movie.
