“Bro. Bro. Listen. I know this is supposed to be your day, but honestly, it’s kinda my day too. Because I helped prepare you for fatherhood. You’re welcome.
Remember all those times I caused chaos, disappeared mid-battle, got stuck in a tree, or made you question your will to live? That was training. For Zephyr and Nuffink. You’re basically overqualified now.
Also, I tried to get them yak milk ice cream but it exploded, so instead I wrote you a poem.
‘Roses are red, Dragons breathe flame,
Your kids are cool,And I take the blame.
For everything. Probably.’
So happy Father’s Day to the best dad/chief/bro I never biologically had.
P.S. I taught Nuffink how to climb on the roof. You’re welcome again.”
Arching a brow, he placed his hands on his hips. Hiccup was skeptical at first, but the more Tuffnut spoke, the more it started making sense. That alone surprised Hiccup, but Tuff was right.
All of the chaos he put Hiccup through really helped to prepare him for just about every situation.
The poem made him laugh, closing his eyes and shaking his head. The other dragon rider was one of his best friends, and rightfully so. They had certainly been through a lot together.
"You know what, Tuffnut? You're right. You truly helped me be prepared for fatherhood. And that is why my kids are lucky to have you as their uncle."
His eyes widened, "Wait, you what?! Tuff, you know that Nuffink thinks he's indestructible!" Hopping on Toothless, he flew home, begging Thor that Nuffink was not on the roof, but safe and sound.
