Everyone knew that Hiccups appetite was tiny, and they barely saw him eat.

But this was too far.

As Heather walked into the room, with the gang following behind her, she saw Hiccup sitting on his desk chair, shirtless, with his  head in his hands.

His spine stuck out horrendously far, and every part of him could be seen, his bone, veins, everything.

The gang only just remembered how little he eats, and they couldnt remember the last time he had had more than two or three bites per meal. And they hadn't noticed.

When Heather had burst through the door, Hiccup and gasped and looked up, before attempting to hide his arms by crossing them. The gang just stood frozen at the door, petrified at his unhuman-like figure.

He slowly started backing away, tripping over things throw all over the floor and then only tripping on the stairs.

Astrid ran over to him and ingulfed him in her arms, and he broke down.

He sobbed litres of tears down her top, but soon the rest of the gang came and joined Astrid. By then he was kneeling on the floor with his head in his hands again, tears flowing through the gaps of his bone fingers. He kept mumbling, 'I'm sorry... so, so sorry...' over and over again in a delirious state.

About 1 hour and a half later, Hiccup had finally stopped crying and was just sitting there in silence. 

Even though be tried to pull away, Astrid looked into his eyes and pulled his hands away from his face and into her lap.

That's when they first saw them.

Small lines all over his skin, some deeper and more visible than others, and some more recent than others. 

Astrid choked back sob, and punched his shoulder in despair.

"W-why....?"

She asked slowly.

His sadness then turned to blazing anger, and he started shouting.

"Do you think I was happy being called Fishbone, useless and weak every day! Do you think I just ignore the 15 years of struggle!!! DO YOU THINK I COULD JUST GET OVER MY OLD HABITS!!!! WELL I HAVEN'T, AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL!"

By the end of it, he had tears streaming down his cheeks again, completely and utterly broken.

1 year later

--------------------

Hiccup was nearly 6 months clean of cutting, and now Astrid and his friends slowly made him eat more and more, so he now eats approximately the same amount as a regular 10 year old, which is still bad but he's getting better by the day.

Every night, before he goes to sleep, Astrid comes in and makes him take his tunic off to see if there's any cuts or improvements.

Also, about a week after they found out, Heather left the edge and hasn't been seen since.

By now, he has a bit more body fat. Nevertheless, they didn't tell anyone about it but Stoick, Gobber and Gothi, who all actually started crying when they saw him. He still wears his armour, to make it look like theres no difference, but with his new found body fat he's starting to develop muscles.

Before when he didn't eat, his body physically couldn't make muscle, but now he was at the hight he was supposed to be, which was towering above everyone else, and had a decent amount of muscle.

But even if he's not perfect yet, he is still well on his way to recovery.
