This is my first fanfiction for How To Train Your Dragon. I watch HTTYD 2 yesterday and I have always been a fan since the first one. I kinda got obsessed with Divergent and I still am. This is set a bit before HTTYD 2. Hiccup is 18 so are the others.
HICCUP POV:
All I can think about is Astrid, Astrid, Astrid, Astrid. How much she will hate me for leaving her for so long. How much she will hate me for lying to her saying I won't be away for too long. How much she will dump me for what I did to her. It was my father's fault he wanted me to make peace with all the islands.
"Son," I hear my father boom. I snap out of Astrid land
"Yeah?" I ask
"Were nearly back,"he says as he points to the small island, were still a bit far away.
My father, Toothless and I have been on this dragon tour thing around all the neighbouring islands. We taught them how to have peace with the dragons and tame them. I have also learned things from them in return like from Bloodswords Island I was taught how to be a swordsmaster. Now I am apparently a swordsmaster according to them which must be correct. I also have new inventions like my Inferno and armor. My Inferno can be a flaming sword and is powered by the saliva of the Monstorous Nightmare keeping it on fire. It also has the Hideous Zippleback gas that sprays out from one side of the Inferno and a lighter to make it go on fire. In my armor I have other things like a notebook, knife and flaps as wings for me to be able to fly beside Toothless. I have also improved Toothless's tail making him be able to fly without me. In the Meathead's Island they made me do some weird muscle traning since apparently I was too weak and needed more muscle, I also learnt how to so some fighting without a weapon. It has been a whole year since I have stepped foot on Berk. I have missed my friends badly especially Astrid.
I still don't know what Astrid and I are, we haven't officially labelled our relationship as 'boyfriend and girlfriend' but we both knew that I am hers and she is mine. Now I am sure we won't even have a relationship nor a friendship. I mean I have liked her since I was ten, this was some long-time crush I had and now I ruined it from killing some monstoruos dragon and wanting peace between viking and dragon.
I fall over with a thump. I see Toothless looking ecstatic with his big round emerald eyes and his tongue dipping out of his mouth. I give him a little rub on his had.
"What do you say bud, fly the rest of the way?" I say to Toothless.
He nods eagerly. I put myself in the suit of armor I made and get on Toothless. With that Toothless spreads his wings and springs off the ship before we start to make some progress.
"HICCUP?" my dad shouts
"Meet you back on Berk," I shout before putting my mask down.
Toothless and I have became better at flying. Higher speeds, better turning at sharp corners and can do wayyy more tricks.
We blast off the ship racing towards my home island. Within about ten minutes we are back. I always wondered why my father still used ships when we have dragons plus dragons are like ten times faster. As I land on the beach Toothless let's off his ear peicring sound as we land next to the house. I hear some Vikings shout 'NIGHT FURY' as we land but after all Toothless is the only Night Fury to all the places I have been which is all viking islands. When people see a Night Fury they will know it's most likely to be Toothless making it clear that I am on Toothless. I start to hear. 'He's back' 'Hiccup is back' and 'The Hero has returned'. I hate being the centre of attention. I became some kind of 'hero' after I killed the Red Death. I hate it, I hate being admired from killing the Red Death. I hate it that the only reason someone will like me only because I killed the Red Death. I know that Astrid likes my personality before but now I am sure she hates me. I land and there are a group of people surrounding me. I don't know what they are doing but all of them are staring at me with shock.
Astrid pov:
I hear an ear piecing sound.
"NIGHT FURY, GET DOWN," some one shouts still not used to Night Furies.
Toothless and Hiccup are back. I am so mad at Hiccup. He said he will only be a month or two not one whole fucking year. I feel the anger bubbling up as I walk up the the cheif's house. I see a whole bunch of people surrounding Hiccup. I push through them and see a tall guy in a suit of armor.
Hiccup. But when was he this tall.
I push to the front. I see a whole lot of girls gushing over him. Geez he is so tall. NO ASTRID he is the guy who lied to you and left you for a whole year.
After thinking about that I can feel all the anger now. ALL OF IT. I walk up to him and stare at him with anger. He takes off his mask.
He catched my stare. I can see people backing behind me and I see Toothless tilt his head down before backing away from us making it only me and Hiccup in the middle.
"Heyyy Astrid, look I'm so –," that is as far as Hiccup can go before I punch him.
He let's out a grunt. I try to punch him again but to my surprise he blocks it with his forearm.
He looks up at me cradling his jaw where I punched him.
Hiccup looks...hot?
Hiccup has auburn shaggy hair which has grown a bit. He has a tiny bit of facial hair and he still has his big green eyes like Toothless. He has a just the right amount of muscle to look really attractive unlike the traditional Viking with slabs of meat and muscle everywhere, he is still lean. He's in a suit of armor and is way taller than what he was before.
"Look Astrid, I'm really sorry, it's just the dragons-," he says before I cut him off.
"So now dragons are more important than your girlfriend," I say really annoyed at him. I didn't even notice how close I was to him until he grabs my waist and kisses me.
I start to melt but than I get some sense into myself. I push him off roughly and slap him.
"Were over," I say as I storm away.
HICCUP POV
When I saw Astrid.
She looked beautiful...
She has grown a bit taller but shorter than me. She ties up her hair differently now over her shoulder instead of behind look better. She wears her fur hood with her armor shoulder pads, a red shirt with her armor skirt. She has her fur boots on and her fur arm pads and has filled in all the right places since I last saw her. She still has her big, beautiful blue eyes but this time it's filled with anger.
She was mad alright. She just stormed off saying that we're over. So we were boyfriend and girlfriend. Now I just ruined it. I still have my head in the position when she slapped me. I touch my lip as I can taste blood. I take my hand back and see a peck of blood.
Some random girls come up to me and take my arms and start to comfort me and say how Astrid was bad. I hate that. It was me who was wrong. I lied to her, she trusted me that I would have been back in a week or so. I harshly take my arms back. I don't say anything, I turn and see Toothless. I walk into the house and slam the door.
I go to the washroom and clean up the blood on my lip and take a look at the punch Astrid did. I also take a look at the three scars torn across from the side of my back to my belly button from when I was taming a Monstrous Nightmare but someone had pulled out at knife and the Montrous Nightmare attacked my and scratched me. The cuts weren't deep enough to be fatal but they were deep enough to leave a scar. Toothless comes up and nuzzles the scars and growls. I laugh at his reaction and shoo him away as I have a shower. I stick on a grey tunic top and black pants. I cover myself with a black fur coat and stick on my boot. I keep my Inferno in my pouch in the coat. I run down to the forge and to see Gobber.
"Ahh, me lad, you've grown well, what happ'ned here" Gobber said pointing to the place Astrid had punched me.
"Do you need any help?" I ask avoiding the question not wanting to talk about Astrid
"Ah, yes I got a anoth' apprentice but he is trying out, came 'bout a week ago, you can help that lad, kinda like the younger hiccu', scrawny and small," Gobber says
I laugh at his joke. I stick on my apron. I go to the back and see a guy around about fourteen. He does look like a younger me.
"Hello," I say "What's your name?"
"Brandt," he says
"Hiccup," I say
"I know, I have heard a lot about you, it's amazing what you did" he says
I roll my eyes. "Need any help?" I ask
"Yeah I can't reach the higher shelf, could you get me the pliers," he says
I go and reach for them. "What happened here," Brandt asks pointing at my bruised jaw.
"Curious one," I say "Well, as you might know, I left Berk for a year and my girlfriend got mad and punched me,"
"Oh yeah, cousins saw that, do you know them, Ruffnut and Tuffnut," he says
"Your related to them, how are you not crazy and stupid," I ask
"I actually don't know," he says
I laugh as I teach him how to remake and fix harder weapons.
Brandt left just before sunset with Gobber behind him. I told him I would close the shop for him.
I go to the back of the forge. I arrive at the small door that goes into my small room filled with my sketches and ideas. I wanted to make a lighter saddle for Toothless and I. I pull off my shirt as it was boiling hot in the forge from all the burning iron and coal. I started to sketch my design. About an hour later I hear bump coming from the main part of the forge. I grab my Inferno and quietly sneak out. I can hear them over the corner. I turn over the corner with my flaming sword providing light. I see Snotlout and Tuffnut in the corner.
"What the hell guys," I say
They just gape at me in shock.
"WHAT?" I ask
"Great odin, you've gotten hot," Tuffnut says
"Wait, I knew it, you are gay," Snotlout shouts
"No I'm not, it's just he's probably better looking than all of us and look at those cool scars," Tuffnut says
I feel really self-conscious now, I have a flaming sword in my hand and I am shirtless.
"Have you guys foun-," Astrid says before she comes in.
She looks at me for a second.
"Astrid, I'm sorry," I say "I really am sorry, can you let me explain later, please Astrid,"
"Not really wanting to when you have a flaming sword in your hand," she says
"How is that possible all sword metals are unable to be lit on fire without it burning down," Fishlegs says coming into the forge.
"Oh its the spit of the Monstrous Nightmare," I say
"Ahh, I see," Fishlegs replys
"How did you get those scars," Ruffnut says while blinking a lot and very quickly while twirling her hair. She runs her hand over my scars. What's wrong with her today?
"Oh, I was trying to show some citizens how to tame a Monstrous Nightmare but some idiot pulled out a sword and the dragon reacted and scratched me," I say as I take Ruffnut's hand and take it off my bare torso.
She does pouts. Why does she want to...feel me?
Astrid walks out of the forge. I was planning to chase after her but I am shirtless and outside is probably the same temperature as in Freezing-to-Death and as the title says it's freezing to death. I quickly grab a shirt and run after her.
ASTRID POV
I walk out of the forge not wanting to see Ruffnut flirt with Hiccup anymore. I don't know why I feel...jealous. I am the one who broke up with him, it's just that we never really defined our relationship but we did act like a couple. Kissing and hugging and all that stuff, we even did it in public like the first time I kissed him. It was infront of Stoick and Gobber and practically the whole village! But I mean seeing one of your best friend, flirt with your ex-boyfriend who came back super hot and stuff isn't really pleasing. I have got to admit though, Hiccup is really hot now. I mean Monstrous Nightmare claws markings on himself, having abs, the right amount of muscle, a fucking flaming sword and he is also the chief's son, with his awesome personality what's not to like about him apart from the fact that he lied to me.
"I never thought I would ever hear you compliment me," I hear a voice say
I turn around and see Hiccup. Shit, I was thinking aloud.
"How much of that did you hear?" I ask
"From the start to finish," he says giving me his charming smile which any girl would now fall for.
"Well, forget everything," I say turning around and walking away.
He grabs my shoulder with a strong grip to my surprise.
"Astrid can I please explain everything," he says
"Go, you have ten seconds," I say
"IwantedtocomebackreallybadbutmydadwantedmetosettlepeacebetweeneveryislandwewentovertoeveryislandIcomplainedbut hejustignoredmepleasAstridIstillloveyou," Hiccup says very quickly in one breath
"What?" I ask
"I said that I wanted to come back really bad but my dad wanted me to settle peace every island and we went over to ever island, I complained but he just ignored me," He says
"No, no the other part," I say
"I still love you Astrid," he say softly cupping my cheek "Can we please start over?"
"I don't know," I say softly.
I kiss him on the cheek before running off.
HICCUP POV
I go back to the house.
"Hey Toothless," I say
He stirs up from his nap. He gives me a 'Are you okay' look
"Astrid and I are..I don't know," I say "We better go dad's waiting,"
I hop on Toothless and we fly down and help my dad with all the stuff. After all that we go and eat at the Mead Hall.
ASTRID POV –Sorry for the changing
I walk into the Mead Hall not knowing why I kissed Hiccup on the cheek. I walk over to the normal table the group and I sit at. I see Hiccup looking irritated and annoyed sitting on the bench eating his chicken. There are a whole bunch of girls sitting around him playing with his long but not too long hair and feeling his torso and arms. When a girl trys to touch his bicep he just place her arm back to her. I walk over and sit on the other side of the bench where Snotlout and Tuffnut are arguing, Fishlegs is eating quietly and Ruffnut is in the group of girls flirting with him. I place my tray down. I see Hiccup look up. His eyes spark up.
"Hey Astrid," he says while pushing the girls playing with his hair away
"Hi," I say quietly before eating my fish.
It was really awkward when we were eating since there were a bunch of girls eating at our table all googly-eyed over him. What I find funny is that Hiccup hates them and doesn't even seem to notice that they are hitting on him.
After I finish I bump into Stoick.
"Oh hey Astrid, how you goin', why aren't ya beatin' up those girls all over Hiccup," Stoick asks
"We broke up," I say as I walk away from him.
