DO you have a drabble where baby Stoick meets his dragon?
Sorry it took so long. I am so behind on fics. But, I did it! It became more a story of how Inky joined the family than Stoick and Inky really meeting. As we know, these two will make quite the team.
The sounds of a dragon in distress broke through the silence of the night. On Berk, usually the only night sounds were some dragons, either snoring or playing, or they were the wild animals that lived on the far side of the island where the land was still dominated by forests. Normally, the nights were fairly calm, now that the dragons were living amongst Vikings instead of against them. However, on this night, the calm was broken by the cries of a little dragon. The noise was enough to put the Vikings and their resident dragons on edge.
It was some ungodly hour when a group of Vikings made their way to the house of their chief. Frustrated from their lack of sleep and the agitation of their own dragons from the noise, Hiccup was probably the best to deal with it. While the whole village knew how to deal with dragons, there was no one better than their chief and perhaps his wife.
Unfortunately for the chief and his wife, they lacked sleep as well, and it wasn’t the cries of that dragon. They had an infant in the house. Their son, Stoick, was constantly awake and while he wasn’t much of a crier, he was for sure a screamer. Stoick knew just how to use his voice to alert and wake everyone in the house, particularly his mother.
It was too early in the morning or too late at night when the group of Berkians knocked on the chief’s door. Hiccup groaned and rolled over, burying his head under his pillow to block out the noise. They had just gotten Stoick back to sleep a few minutes before. Next to him, Astrid huffed and nudged him not so gently with her foot. The chief only groaned in reply and ignored his wife.
With a loud sigh, Astrid got out of bed, throwing a fur cloak around herself and the baby. Amazingly, Stoick remained asleep, despite the loudness of the angry group outside of the house. Tired and lacking sleep, the chief’s wife opened the door, hoping that the expression of her exhaustion would quell whatever argument that had that sent them to the chief’s house. If anything, at least for the night.
‘Evening,’ Astrid said, making a show of yawning.
The group looked amongst each other, trying to decide who would speak first. ‘There’s a situation.’
‘A “situation”? How so?’ she asked.
‘A crying dragon. It’s somewhere under one of the houses,’ another piped up.
‘A baby dragon,’ added another.
Astrid looked at the group. It was too late for this and she thought about. Sadly, she knew that if it wasn’t dealt with, they would come back the next night, unless it was dealt with accordingly. After all, she had a tracking dragon. And a useless husband, who was asleep in their bed.
‘Give me five minutes. I’ll deal with it.’
‘Where’s the chief?’ one of the men asked.
With a thoughtful look into the house Astrid gave a slight shrug. ‘He’ll be watching his son.’
With that, Astrid closed the door and placed her son on the bed, cooing to him softly to keep him asleep. She then put on clothing, a simple dress and shoes, nothing fancy or special, all she was doing was tracking down a dragon. Putting on her least favorite dress was the best way to go as was possibly going to have to get a bit messy.
‘Hiccup,’ the blonde whispered, shaking her husband’s shoulder to wake him.
‘Hmm?’ he grumbled, still asleep.
‘Watch Stoick, I’m going out.’
Hiccup managed to open one bleary eye, rubbing the other with a yawn. ‘Where’re you going?’ his voice full of sleep.
‘Out. There’s a situation.’ Astrid was walking to where her Deadly Nadder, Stormfly snoozed. Adorably, Stormfly’s head rested against Toothless’ back. Toothless was curled up and didn’t seem to notice or mind.
‘Stormfly, come on, wake up.’
The chief sat up slightly, the warm furs slipping off of his body. His wife bit back a smile at his adorably disheveled state. He was clearly watching her and seeing what she was doing. There was no sign of worry on his face, clearly, he trusted her to be able to handle herself. Other than himself (and Valka), Astrid was the best at any issues concerning dragons and with the residents of Berk.
‘Stormfly!’ Astrid hissed and earned an annoyed grunt from Toothless as the Nadder woke up and did a show of stretching and preening. ‘Come on, I need you, girl.’
The pair walked out of the door and into the chilly Berk night. Astrid remained on foot, as the cries were said to have come from under a house. There was no sense in going by air as the group lead the woman and her dragon to the approximate location of the cries.
‘Listen, Stormfly. We need to find the baby dragon. It probably got separated from its mother and is scared and alone,’ the blonde explained to her dragon.
The Nadder sorted and tilted her head. The head tilt was often a sign that the dragon was listening to her surroundings. The sounds of the cries came again, but Astrid was unable to tell from where they were coming from. The poor little thing was probably lost and scared. Its mother probably worried as well.
Stormfly squawked and made her way to a house and tried to claw at the dirt by the house. Astrid took note of the location and rested her hand against her dragon’s side to silently tell her to stop digging. It was now up to Astrid to try and either coax the little dragon out or try and get it out physically.
She had put on weight since getting pregnant with her son. While the weight was slowly coming off, it was enough for her to realize the changes. She had to figure a plan of action to get this little dragon, despite the changes. Being a mother herself, she couldn’t imagine what this little guy’s mother was thinking. Hell, her son was at home with her husband and she was worried that something would happen while she was out. Still, dragons weren’t like humans. What a human would feel was not always the case with a dragon.
‘Someone get me some fish,’ Astrid instructed as she crouched down, signaling Stormfly to give her some light.
Under the beams was a little dragon, the shape was clear, but the dragon itself was hard to actually see as it was dark, almost black in the low light. It continued to cry out, but would look to Astrid and hiss with the distinctive Terrible Terror sound. The little guy was clearly scared and in distress.
‘It’s ok, come on out.’ She tried to keep her voice as calm and soothing as possible.
The little dragon skittered back, dragging one of its hind legs behind it. It screeched and hissed as Astrid tried to get herself closer and reach her hand under. Eventually, the hand went away and the little dragon stopped screeching and went back to crying for help.
With a sigh, Astrid stood and brushed her hands on her thighs as she thought about what to do. She was still waiting on the fish. And then it really struck her that there was no mother Terrible Terror there crying and fighting to get to this young one. Perhaps its injury had meant that it wasn’t seen as fit enough to survive.
‘Astrid, ‘ere’s the fish you wanted,’ someone said behind her.
‘Thanks.’ But she was distracted as she crouched down to watch the dragon. The poor thing stayed back, favoring one leg. ‘Come here, little guy. I have food for you. Come on.’
It took a long time for the little dragon to even try to come closer. It would growl and hiss after it took a few steps forward and then would skitter back. This seemed to be more of an exercise in Astrid’s patience than her ability to lure a frightened dragon out of its hole. In her opinion, it was going rather poorly. She was tired and somewhat cranky, but having a four and a half week old did that to a person.
‘Come on,’ she said softly, a slight tone of begging edged into her voice. ‘There’s a yummy fish in it for you.’
It took another twenty minutes or so to actually get the little dragon to come out, then another ten to actually touch it. Every time Astrid tried to reach out, it would only recoil and try to run away, but it was hindered by the injury to its hind leg.
Eventually, Astrid was able to get it to come out. ‘That’s better, isn’t it? We’ll patch you up and try to find your mommy. I bet she’s worried about you.’
Now curled up in Astrid’s arms, the little Terrible Terror purred contently as it munched down on fish. Still, Astrid was unable to touch the injured leg without the little creature going crazy on her, trying to snap.
The group of Vikings stood around and watched for a long moment before Astrid announced that she would be taking the injured dragon back to her house and tend to its injuries. Most were relieved, because who else would care for it? The chief was the best when it came to dragons (although, his mother actually might be better than him), so it seemed like the natural choice. As well, the little thing seemed to be a handful and no one wanted the responsibility of caring for it.
When Astrid walked into the house, she expected to find Hiccup asleep, but instead, he was awake with Stoick in his arms. A smile crossed her lips, her two favorite boys together.
‘Hey,’ she said softly, sitting beside her husband. ‘Did he wake up?’
Hiccup nodded, ‘Yeah, but he seems content right now. Maybe he missed you.’
The baby dragon wriggled out of Astrid’s arms and walked on its good legs towards Hiccup and Stoick, cautiously smelling them.
‘Is this out trouble maker?’ the chief asked.
‘Yeah. Poor thing has a broken leg. I didn’t see the mother anywhere…maybe she’ll be back in the morning.’
Cautiously, Hiccup and Astrid watched the dragon as it sniffed Stoick and purred, climbing into Hiccups arms and snuggled next to the baby. Somehow they knew that even if the mother came back, the little guy had adopted them and more importantly, their son. Stoick in turn, wrapped his pudgy little baby arms around the dragon and made a happy sound.
‘I think he found his human. Cute little guy. I’ve never seen a Terrible Terror this dark before. Almost the color of ink.’
‘We can’t keep him, Hiccup. We have to see if we can find the mother.’
Hiccup gave Astrid a look, it was a somewhat pleading, she knew that look well. It was selfish, but he loved seeing his son bond with a dragon. And if the dragon was abandoned, it wouldn’t survive on its own. It was just a baby.
‘We look for the mother, if we can’t find her, we’ll keep him,’ Astrid said finally.
All she could do was smile as her husband kissed her cheek. His eyes drifted down to the sleeping pair in his arms.
‘You should get a splint on his leg, Hiccup.’
‘Yes, dear. You take Stoick and I’ll get a splint on Inky’s leg.’
‘“Inky”?’ Astrid asked as she untangled the pair.
Hiccup nodded. ‘He’s ink colored, isn’t he? I have a feeling it suits him. And for now, welcome to the family, Inky.’
