Ever since the raid ten years ago, Hiccup had no idea where you were. You had been scooped up by dragons and torn away from him, and he had never been the same. He had never fought a dragon, which meant that his father was even more disappointed in him— instead, he befriended one.
It was only when he found out about the Hidden World that he decided to try and find you again. There was no way you were dead, he wouldn’t believe it. He couldnt. You had been the only one there for him when everything fell apart with losing his mother and the respect of everyone in the village. When he had turned from son of the chief to just… Hiccup.
So he took off with Toothless as soon as he could, knowing that the village wouldn’t realise he was gone anyway. Toothless had an idea where he was going, since his senses heightened the closer they got to the hidden world.
Hiccup had read about that place many times, and Toothless trilled whenever it was mentioned. So when they got there, it was like a dream come true for the pair of them. He had never thought he’d see the day when he’d find this place— but that wasn’t his focus.
It was finding you, and bringing you home.
Proving that you weren’t dead.
And most importantly..? Having you in his arms again.
