Ok so does anyone know Pettson and Findus?

Because I loved it when I was younger! I have like every radioplay that exists! And my favorite one was the one where both went ice fishing and got trapped in a blizzard and then nearly froze. So I redid it a bit... Also I have no idea how metal and wood react in cold temperatures and couldn't find the answer anywhere so I just did what sounded good to me. Please don't shout at me qwq
It turned out quite emotionally if I may say that...
I hope you like how it came out!

"Great... this is just great",Hiccup said in annoyance and was dragged forward. "Oh yeah? Do you think I enjoy it?!",spitted the man and stamped in the cold snow. "Well, at least I'm not the one who got us in here!",snapped the brown haired boy and tried to keep with his companion.

"Oh right now I'm the bad guy again!",Dagur said and rolled his eyes before a cold wind blew in his face and made his eyes sore. "You were never someone different!",Hiccup responded and tried to keep his eyes shut.

The reason they were in this horrifying blizzard- and that with their hands tied together?

Well, Hiccup got caught by the dragon hunters- again- and Dagur was forced to keep Hiccup "safe" by Ryker. And the guy had the fabulous idea to make sure everything went well by tying their wrists together, with about two arms rope length between them. And somehow after several crazy events and things no one can really explain these two were lost on an unexplored island in the middle of the worst blizzard they had ever seen.

"Slow down Dagur!",Hiccup whined and had trouble keeping up with him. "You're just too slow!",he snapped. The boy stumbled and almost fell in the cold snow but managed to get his balance back:"No I'm not! You're just faster because your legs are too long!"

"Well, there definitely longer than yours in anyway",the man chuckled with a crooked grin but facepalmed himself after this because he knew that Hiccup would never get his kind of humor.

Hiccup groaned and rolled his eyes again. Yeah, totally Dagur's kind of humor- maybe Snotlout's too, but mostly Dagur's. The boy tried to keep a serious or rather annoyed look but when the wind blew in his face again he had to sneeze a couple times and that just sounded super cute and not really serious.

"Dude your sneezing still sounds like the one from a child",the redhead laughed and stopped for a few seconds to laugh it of his chest- or however you'd call this thing he sometimes does.

"Yeah, thanks",Hiccup said and looked back to where their footprints must've been, "Why didn't we just stay at the beach? It would've been way safer and my friends would've find me-...us way easier"

Dagur chuckled quickly:"From what you say I assume that you've never been outside- especially in winter- on your own, am I right?" "Well, yeah... I mean a few times but not really",he answered.

The berserker smiled and shook his head slightly but explained rather softly:"Exactly. Because if you would've been you'd know that you need to find a place where you're safe from the wind- like a cove for example. On the beach is no good spot, there were no coves from what I could see. And if the storm gets worse the ocean may even freeze and I don't think you'd like to deal with speed stingers, now do you?"

Hiccup looked away angrily but also a bit intimidated. Now that he said it, it really made sense and Hiccup felt stupid, a feeling he didn't like at all. Outsmarted by- DAGUR! Why this guy? He was used to it by Fishlegs but he was his friend, it was okay but... HIM! Everybody knew Dagur was stupid, why... whywhywhywhywhywhywhy?!

"Maybe I don't know as much about being outside on my own as you do, but that just means that someone actually cares about me!",he snapped and shot the man a glare. The words came out his mouth faster than he could've thought about what they meant.

Dagur felt a stab in his heart and bit his tongue, looking at the ground, not saying anything. Why did people always have to do that? He wasn't even mad or judging Hiccup, just being friendly and giving him an advice so why did he had to do that?!

The man grabbed the rope and yanked it forward, making the teen fall right into the cold snow. He wasn't even visible anymore, so high was the snow. Whenever Hiccup tried to pull himself up Dagur just yanked the rope away again, until Hiccup stopped to oppose. His sweater and pants were soaked and he shivered slightly when the man picked him up and helped him to stand upright.

But his foot swept away the second it touched the ground and he almost fell if Dagur wasn't still holding him. "My leg doesn't work",Hiccup breathed terrified, "No no no, it has to work. It works, I'm just tired that's all it's-"

Dagur bent down and took the leg peg from his brother, who braved himself on his shoulders:"It's frozen. And also bend back from what I see- or maybe broken I've never come to look that close at it. Nope, no walking for you today, unless of course you have a spare one somewhere"

"No... NO!"

"Ouch, and yes, there is no way you're walking with this. Looks like I've gotta carry you"

Before Hiccup could react to that he found himself on Dagur's shoulder, unable to move much with his peg leg somewhere deep in the snow where no one would ever find it again.

"Wait what?! What do you think you're doing? I don't want to be on your shoulder!"

"Well it's either this or bridal style!"

Hiccup didn't say a word.

"Thought so"

- - -

After some time they had found a little cave that sadly had a thick layer of ice on the ground, which meant they couldn't make a fire if they even managed to find some wood. Well, they couldn't make a fire even if the ground wasn't frozen if they didn't want the "ceiling" to come down. The cave was more like a hole because it flowed up deep into the ground, but it did its job.

And Hiccup even played a wonderful bride because he started shivering like an idiot halfway through, and Dagur couldn't live with the thought of him getting sick, and so went the couple.

It wasn't long till they heard a loud crack and what seemed like tons of ice fell in front of the entrance and left them caged up. If anything, the good thing about this was that they were safe from the wind now. Yeah, not really that impressing but something.

"I-It's cold",the boy stuttered as he leaned against the cold wall. "Come here, you need to stay warm",Dagur softly said and wrapped his fur coat around Hiccup. He crept into it but suddenly stopped and tried to open his eyes completely:"B-B-But then y-y-you'll get-"

"Shhh",he whispered, "I don't get cold. Besides you're weaker than I am and more important you belong to the family, so as a Berserker it's my duty to keep you safe- for now of course. After this it's you against me again. But for now, I just have to make sure you don't- oh no you're hot!"

Hiccup squinted to the cold hand on his hot forehead but just shut his eyes again with a small painful groan. Dagur chuckled nervously and shook his friends' shoulders:"Ehehe, now you gotta respond to that! Come on Hiccup, say something! Anything!"

"Hand... back",he said exhausted and slipped closer to the Berserker who put his hand back on his forehead immediately.

"As long as you don't fall asleep it's fine- HEY! DON'T SLEEP!",he shouted.

"No I'm... Toothless"

"Yes! Toothless! Tell me about your dragon, how did you met?!",Dagur asked enthusiastically. If Hiccup would just keep talking to him he wouldn't fall asleep, right? It was worth a try.

Hiccup didn't want to tell him about his dragon, who new what he'd pull of? Or what he already pulled of. Maybe it was just part of a deranged plan to get him in this position so he could get secret informations about the dragons? But Hiccup knew that he had to keep awake or it wouldn't end the way he wanted it to.

"I shot him. And then I earned his trust and... father",he had trouble making any sound or moving his mouth at all. Dagur felt incredibly bad. He pushed him in the snow! It was his fault- AGAIN! If anything happened to Hiccup he could never forgive himself. But he had to keep him talking until someone came, anyone, anything just help:"Okay sounds great. What colors do his scales have again?"

"Black"

"Yes~ And his eyes?"

Hiccup took a deep and long breath:"Green"

"Right",the man who was now holding Hiccup protectively in his arms with his chin resting on the younger teens head said, "What's his favorite food?" "Fish",Hiccup answered sleepily, "But no eels... dragons do not like them" "Okay, good to know",Dagur said with his voice low and very calming, "What's your name?" "H- Hiccup of course",the boy didn't had much power left in his voice,"Because I'm the weakest of-"

"No no no, you're not",the redhead cut him off and brushed some auburn hair out of Hiccups face. His fever wasn't sinking, no, it was rising and getting worse. They needed help- right know:"In fact, you're the strongest of them all!"

"But you said that-"

"Everyone is weaker than ME! You should know that by now. But you're so strong brother, you're so strong. Just hold on a bit and everything will be fine again, I know you can"

They clung together, Hiccup with a warm coat and Dagur with Hiccup to keep him warm.

"And what's my name?"

"Y- You're Dagur. Dagur the Deranged, cracker of skulls, slayer of beasts, the great and fearsome..."

"Huh, Dagur is fine. You can just call me Dagur",he said enjoying that someone actually remembered most of his names. "Because you...",his voice betrayed him again, "I don't know why"

"Dagur means day, you know. My father said it was because I was born on a very sunny day but my mother said that-...",he stopped when the memories of his mother flashed back, her slender and loving fingers running along the sides of his face, wiping away his tears and healing his wounds, her scent filling his senses and her voice like a bittersweet lullaby in his ears, "You're heart is so big and warm, like the sun outside. You are the light in the darkness of this world, and someday you will shine so bright that everyone is looking up to you when you rise while dawn and bring the light of the day with you to defeat the night and it's darkness"

Hot tears started rolling down his face and dripping onto Hiccups hair and onto the dark fur keeping him warm and safe, while the endless silence was like a big blanket hugging them both and giving them the feeling of being loved and needed.

"Dagur? Will you please take care of Toothless if I die?",Hiccup suddenly said, breaking the silence. "What?! Never! You're not dying, not today, not anytime!",Dagur shouted at him. "Please, just do it. He knows you good and after some time you will eventually earn his trust. I want him in good hands",the boy said breathing heavily.

"If you wish, I'll do it",he gave in but froze when he saw Hiccups eyes. They were wide open and his pupils were very big, similar to how the eyes of cats look in the night. A smile spread across his lips and even for Dagur, who had seen some creepy things and who had also looked scary Hiccup looked terrifying.

"It's so warm",he laughed and looked around. "Hiccup, you're creeping me out! Whatever kind of joke this is, it is NOT funny!",the man said but didn't cause much about Hiccups look. "It's so warm",he whispered and curled himself up in Dagurs coat and slowly closed his eyes, "So warm"

"NO!",Dagur yelled and lifted Hiccup back up, but the boys' eyes remained closed and his breathing was so slow you couldn't even say he was breathing at all. The Berserker bit his tongue, pulled out briefly and slapped Hiccup across his face, kicking the last adrenaline out of the small body.

"DON'T FAINT HICCUP! DON'T FAINT!",he yelled and shook the body back and forth. "M'not",it was barely more than a mumble but it meant that Hiccup was at least a bit conscious- sort of. His head swung forth again and he used the last of his power to say:"I'm sorry for what I've said to you... I-... I care about you. I really care about you! More than you can think of! I love you okay?! I really, really love you"

It was like the time had stopped. No one moved or even made a sound. Dagur just stared at Hiccups motionless and deadly silent body hanging from his hands.

"No",he breathed doubting what had just happened and his face tense with every word he spoke and tears streaming out his eyes like waterfalls, "This can't be. Hiccup, brother... don't leave me! No, don't leave me! I don't want to be without you. Brother... come back brother!"

Sobbing, he pressed Hiccups dead body against him and gripped his head, holding it against him while burying his own face in his tousled hair.

And then he did something he thought he'd never do again. It was barely a whisper but enough for him:"If any god is listening, Odin, Thor, even Loki, please give me my brother back. Freya, Nótt, you always liked me, please don't take him away from me. Please, don't take another person I love from me, let him stay with me. If you want to you shall take my life for his, I'll do whatever you want, I'll never kill a dragon again, I'll join the dragon riders, I'll make peace with every tribe I see, i-if you really want to, I shall never touch a weapon again, I'll silence till I die or directly cut my tongue so I can't speak. I don't know if I'd even be able to have a firstborn child I could sacrifice to you but... please... give me my Hiccup back"

And in the far distance, swallowed by the wind some voices cried:"No need to pull that off you idiot!"

"Hey! I found them!"

- - -

Darkness was the first thing he could remember. It was dark and cold, but not as cold as it was earlier. Maybe he was already dead? Who knew. He didn't really care if he was or not. His heart was ripped out of his chest and cut into pieces, he'd be surprised if it was even beating.

But some hot and slightly smelling wind blew into his face and made him tense. Slowly, he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw were two eyes staring at him. "Snotlout!",he yelled and sat up, pushing the man who was cowering over him away. "Hey! You're alive AND got my name right!",he cheered. "Get some mint! Your smell scares everybody off!",he said and waved his hand in front of his face.

"So I smell like a whole bunch of peppermint like you, or what?",Snotlout said. "Well first it's calming and second it's way better than... HICCUP!!!",Dagur jumped off his feet and "walked" to the door. "His hut. Close the door it gets cold",the black haired guy said disinterested and looked at his nails, "And watch out for the twins, they're searching dummies for their boar pit!"

- - -

Dagur carefully opened the door to Hiccups hut. He seemed to be alive from what Snotlout said, but therefor the room was way too dark. Even the fire was out, and that was exactly what was bad for him. Or was he already dead and the fire just went out on itself? He didn't want to think about that.

"Hello? Brother?",he asked and looked around. It was so silent that he could her his own heartbeat- apparently it was still beating. And somehow something jumped at him from the side and both fell to the ground. Something was a crying Hiccup:"I'm so sorry Dagur!"

"What? Wherefore?",the man asked confused and awkwardly patted Hiccups back. "I said so many bad thing to you! I tried to apologize before I passed out but-",he stopped when he felt the grip on him tighten. "I thought you were dead",Dagur whispered, "Don't do that to me again, Hiccup. I couldn't bear losing you. You mean so much to me, although we were enemies. I'm the one who needs to apologize, I did do many bad things to you!"

Both were about to cry again and said at the same time:"I love you, you idiot! I love you okay?!" A few moments of silentness passed where both just stared into the other ones' "eyes"- actually not, they were staring at each other's lips.

Carefully, Dagur reached out and his lips touched Hiccups. The boy felt the need to kiss back and pressed their lips together. They enjoyed kissing each other and couldn't remember ever liking something so much. Although Hiccup had only kissed a few times and Dagur kissed way more than him, one thing was sure- no one would touch their lips ever again expect for them.

"You're still cold", Dagur murmured and sat himself upright. "But you're hot",the boy responded smiling and just waited for the answer. "You noticed that early on~",the redhead answered grinning like an maniac and leaned forward to kiss Hiccup again.
