"What?" Hiccup pardoned, it was unbelievable that Stoick would even ask that. Not only because he shouldn't have the guts to say those words after everything that happened between them but also because it would put Berk in danger.





"No! He is not coming back with you! You guys are monsters!" Heather interrupted and pointed her fingers at Stoick. He glared at her with his dagger eyes.




"Well at least I'm not trying to fake my identity and fool the people who took me in." Snotlout snorted and Heather went ballistic! She clenched her fist and threw deadly eyes at Snotlout which I can tell from just a glance that it sent shivers down his spine. She wanted to attack him badly but thank goodness Raps was there to stop her.




"I did it to protect my family! You guys aren't any different, tell me I'm wrong? You're also working for the bad guys are you not?" she reasoned out and it was no lie so none answered back to her.





"It doesn't matter what you say. What matters is what my son's decision is." Stoick emphasized the word 'my son' to in some way manipulate Hiccup's decision. I felt Hiccup flinch at his Father's words and he started to shake, not out of his uncontrollable emotions of sadness but by his manic laugh.





"You really have your way with words. But as your son.. I'm too immune to your pathetic little sugar coated talks. Get out of my territory and never come back, you S*rði*n." he cursed at his Father. Heather gasp




"Hiccup!" she yelled his name, as like a warning to never use profanities. Hiccup barely paid attention to her but sternly said




"Get out and forget about this day. If you all utter a word I will not hesitate to take it as an initiate to war. Don't test me." he says coldly. He then got me off his dragon and pushed me towards Stoick where Snotlout caught me, when I turned to look at him his face darkened and he coldly uttered




"Take her with you and leave my home."





"No! Come home Hiccup.. please Son" Stoick pleaded, everyone barely cared about Stoick's words and were eager to fight one another.




"Why would I?" he answered back




"It's your home..." Stoick mumbled and Hiccup laughed




"No. It's your home. Not mine."




"Don't say that.. our people have been looking for you. They've missed you Hiccup" Again, Stoick pleaded with his soft eyes. Hiccup scoffed




"I didn't. Not even a bit did I miss them. I didn't even think of any of them. Not one bit." He said, I caught him glance at me for a split second before turning his full attention back to Stoick




"But our people—"




"No." Hiccup cuts him off clean





"You mean your people. Your people treated me like some trash bag. Useless, annoying, disgrace of Berk." He chuckled bitterly





"I was an outcast even in your eyes. If it weren't for Gobber I would've realized far more earlier that you were all biased and you did not deserve me." He breathed in and out a heavy sigh.






"You were my role model.... And I guess the older I got I realized how cruel you truly were" he chuckled bitterly






"I didn't feel loved at all Dad..." He uttered, voice barely above a whisper. Stoick felt emotional and walked over to his son which the Fury responded with a growl, everyone else wanted to attack him but I guess they stopped their thoughts.






"I'm sorry... I was busy trying to care for everyone else that I forgot I had you too... But son—I am proud of you—from the very moment you took your first step, your first word I was already so proud of you." Stoick said wholeheartedly






"I thought, because you were my son you could be independent and take criticisms as a motivation to do better.. I thought you saw them as an advice to avoid doing things that aren't good just like how I thought they were good for you." Hiccup started to tear up once more, he shakes his head but Stoick wasn't backing down. He got on his knees which made everyone freeze




"I was wrong Hiccup.. I was wrong son. I thought I was doing good but it turns out I was neglecting you. When I realize I had lost you I felt enraged, remorseful and regret... I knew I didn't spend much time with you, that I wasn't as much as a father figure to you compared to Gobber.. I wasn't proud of what I had done because I protected them but I wasn't able to protect you... I'm sorry." Hiccups eyes softened, I felt that he was moved by his Father's words as Stoick started to acknowledge his mistakes.




"I'm begging you Hiccup... Come back home.."
