Facing the past Together

Interlude #1

So just like @RinkuWolfe207
I will be adding these interludes through the story

These little flashbacks will be of Hiccup in his younger years and about his adventures with and without Toothless, and how he met other dragons.

So in this interlude, Hiccup is seven years old

Thank you~

Normal P.O.V

A seven year old boy ran through the forest jumping over a fallen tree, tripping in the process, as his mind is else were. We can now see that the boy is Hiccup.

'I just don't understand'
The boy thought, sadly looking down at the moist ground.
You see, earlier that day he had overheard his father conversation with Gobber.

'I just don't understand why he isn't growing, Gobber' the way his father spoke, sounded of disappointment to Hiccup as he listened to the continuing conversation.
'Stoick, the lad is only seven, give it some time and he'll be the greatest Viking on Berk.' Gobber had said with enthusiasm. Trying to cheer his chief up.

'It's just....if he doesn't grow up I'll have to give the duty of chief to Snotlout when he grows up'

'You cannot be serious!.....Stoick it's Hiccups birthright, he the hair not Snotlout!'

'Gobber please, be with me on this, think of the village, if Snotlout were to be chief, we could find the nest, the war could end.'

Snotlout may have the brawn, but he certainly doesn't have enough brain.'

'Yes, that may be true, but with enough training he could be a great chief.'

It's not like Hiccup want to be future chief. He couldn't care less. It's just....it seems his dad has more belief in Snotlout than in him. While Snotlout was a loud mouth, Hiccup is making machines to kill dragons. Sure the machines backfire, but at least Hiccup's trying to help.

Than Hiccup's mind moved to his friends, how they have been acting mean to him as of late.
How?
Well, they pushed him to the ground and gave him a couple of bruises. Hiccup had told his father, but all Stoick had said was 'deal with it like a Viking.'

In other words.
Fight back

Hiccup could never bring himself to hurt somebody else, so he just took the beatings quietly.

At least Fishlegs and Astrid weren't beating him up, no, they were just ignoring him.
At least Gobber was willing to smack Snotlout once. Gobber was the only one willing to listen to him. However, Hiccup wanted to talk to someone his own age.

He had spent more time in the forest lately, away from the village, to avoid the villagers talk about him

'Hiccup the Useless' was what he was now called around the village.

"Honestly, that boy bring shame to his father,"
"That boy can't do anything right"
"That boy does more harm than good"

He was trying for Odin's sake!! He just wanted to help, and it just all....backfires.

He had also avoided going to the forge as much as possible, to avoid having to face Gobber.
He felt alone. He could only talk to himself. He had no one to share his thoughts, his feelings, his ideas, everything.

Oh how much he wanted a friend. Just someone to listen to him, someone that wouldn't judge him by his physical appearance.

Who knows maybe one day,
He will find a friend,
A true friend.
