Hiccup rests peacefully, his mouth parted slightly as he softly exhales. Toothless purrs lowly, sniffing at his friend with a light whine as he sits back up.

He huffs lightly, softly growling as he tries to wake his friend.

After a moment Hiccup stirs, making
Toothless' ears perk as he happily rumbles.
He nudges Hiccup's face as he groggily groans.

"Hey, Toothless," he chuckles weakly as Toothless eagerly nudges at his hands and face.

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

Hiccup lets out a yelp of pain as Toothless stands on his rib, causing him to jolt fully awake and sit up, his eyes wide as he looks around.

"I...I'm in my house."

Toothless patiently sits in front of his bed, his body swaying happily as he smacks his lips.
"Uh...you're in my house!" Toothless leaps around, jumping from a pillar and knocking over cooking supplies by a fire.

"D-does my dad know you're here?"

Toothless rushes over, sniffing at his hand as Hiccup continues rambling. "Uh, okay, okay!" He pauses, groaning as Toothless leaps onto the upper part of the house, hanging upside down.

"Toothless, no. No, Toothless! Aw, come on. Where's (Y/-.."

He trails off, finally noticing the absence of his best friend. He quickly goes to stand, his movements halting when he notices something off. He slowly moves the covers, his eyes wide.

Toothless joins him with a small rumble, tilting his head as Hiccup softly exhales and lowers his foot. He lowers the other one, revealing a metal prosthetic foot.

Toothless sniffs it, peering back up at Hiccup as he swallows thickly, rising with a sigh.

Hiccup takes a step, grunting as he limps heavily. He takes in another breath, taking another step and falling over with a yelp of pain as his prosthetic twists.

Toothless quickly catches him, allowing
Hiccup to use him for support as he helps him stand. "Okay...thanks, bud," Hiccup softly says, limping forward with Toothless at his side.

Toothless' tail swishes lightly, revealing his missing tail-fin, Hiccup's missing foot on the same side.

Hiccup braces himself, grunting as he struggles to open the door before gasping and slamming it shut at the sight of a Monstrous Nightmare.

"Toothless..stay here."

He opens it again, his jaw falling open at the sight of Snotlout on the back of his Monstrous Nightmare. "Come on, guys! Get ready!"

Snotlout laughs, helping some of the others learn to fly their dragons. "Hold on tight, here we go!"

Toothless watches with perked ears, remaining put as Hiccup staggers forward a few steps, his eyes wide at the sight of dragons everywhere. The Vikings treating them like friends instead of monsters.

"W-what?" He stammers, watching a few Nadders on a nearby rooftop. Hiccup yelps as (D/N) suddenly appears at his side, his tail wagging happily as he nudges the boy with a chitter.

"Hey, (D/N)," Hiccup laughs as (D/N) nuzzles his cheek before joining Toothless, the two chasing each other. He watches them for a moment before jumping as a gasp was heard a few feet away from him.

He looks up, gasping softly when he sees (Y/N) standing a few paces in front of him, her eyes wide and her hand limp at her side. Hiccup's eyes flicker to her hand, his eyes widening at her missing fingers.

"..oh my gods.."

She quickly blinks, shaking her head as she races forward, tightly hugging him as he grunts with a laugh. "You're okay!!" (Y/N) laughs, pulling away before quickly kissing the tip of his nose.

Hiccup stammers, rubbing his neck with an awkward laugh. "I knew it. I'm dead." Stoick lets out a laugh as he approaches the two,
(F/N) following after him with a proud smile.

The Chief wraps an arm around Hiccup and pats his shoulder.

"No, but you gave it your best shot," Stoick grins, gesturing around. "So..what do you think?" (F/N) asks, ruffling his daughter's hair with a laugh.

"Hey, look! It's Hiccup!" Someone yells, causing a crowd of people to eagerly rush up to meet the three.

"It's Hiccup!"

"Turns out...we all needed a little more of..this," Stoick gestures to Hiccup. (Y/N) snickers, reaching over and grasping the boys hand.

"You just gestured to all of me," Hiccup mumbles, Stoick smiling and nodding in response.

"Well, most of you," Gobber joins, making
(Y/N) laugh, rubbing her missing digits with her other hand. "That bit's my handiwork," he points to Hiccup's foot.

"With a little Hiccup flair thrown in. You think it'll do?"

Hiccup peers down at it, humming in thought.
"I might make a few tweaks.." The crowd laughs, (Y/N) grinning widely as Hiccup bashfully smiles back.

He yelps as Astrid suddenly punches his shoulder, making him grip it in pain.

"That's for scaring me and (Y/N)."

"W-what?! She scared you, too!" Hiccup whines, rubbing his arm. Astrid places a hand on (Y/N)'a shoulder in mock offense, "I would never hurt her!" She smiles smirks, (Y/N) laughing at Hiccups's twitching eye.

She looks back at Hiccup before sighing, hugging him once more as he hugs her back with a soft laugh.

"What? Are you always gonna punch then hug  me now? Cause—!"

(Y/N) cuts him off by placing her lips on his, their height difference causing Hiccup to tilt his head upwards, the Vikings tease them with kissing sounds. Hiccup's face turns a bright red as he nervously smiles, grabbing her hand.

"..I would much rather kiss you." He finishes his sentence, making (Y/N) laugh and lightly kiss him again, Astrid smiles and nods at the two. They pull away as Gobber offers a new tail-fin for Toothless, made by him and (Y/N).

"Welcome home."

(D/N) roars playfully, quickly shoving past the crowd as Toothless pursues.

"Night Fury!"

"Woolly Howl!"

"Get down!"

Toothless jumps across the Vikings, lunging and tackling (D/N) as he whines playfully, lightly barking at him as (Y/N) and Hiccup laugh at the two.

...

Hiccup sets his prosthetic foot in place, nodding slowly as he tests the new bright red tail-fin. (D/N) joins his side, (Y /N) smiling widely at Hiccup as he grins back.

"You ready?"

Toothless snorts in response, Hiccup smiling and pausing to look around.

"This...is Berk."

Vikings and dragons scatter through the village, all joyously getting along.

"It snows nine months of the year and hails the other three."

Toothless takes off flying, (D/N) following closely as (Y/N) whoops and hollers.

"Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless."

Astrid laughs as she joins the two on her
Nadder, playfully nudging (D/N), he roars at her, nudging into the Nadder as both (Y/N) and Astrid giggle.

A Viking nearly chokes on his drink as
Toothless swoops by, making him chuckle and shake his head.

"The people that grow here are even more so!"

Toothless lets out a roar as he leads (D/N) and Stormfly, Hiccup cheering with a grin as they fly over the ships.

"The only upside..besides (Y/N)..are the pets!"

The three fly along the overhead docks, Fishlegs joining with his Gronckle Meatlug.

"While other places have ponies or parrots."

His Gronckle slams into the wall multiple times, remaining unphased as she happily follows Toothless.

"We have.."

Snotlout joins on Hookfang, grinning at his other friends as they fly together.

Both Toothless and (D/N) fly around one another, flying towards the sky with roars as (Y/N) and Hiccup and cheer.

"Dragons!!"
