=Hiccup's POV=
(Thursday, December 22-Dusk)
(Hysteria Island; Great Hall)
"Happy Birthday, Natalie!" the crowd cheered at the newly turned sixteen-year-old girl with black hair and purple eyes walked through the door of the Great Hall on Hysteria Island.
"Oh, my Gods!" the girl, Natalie, gasped while covering her mouth in surprise to see everything. "Thank you, everyone!" she called as she made her way through to greet and thank everyone that came out for her sixteenth birthday party. I stood in the corner that was slightly shadowed while my father talked with others.
My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, I'm currently sixteen, and turning seventeen in two months. I am the only son of Stoick and Valka Haddock, and Heir to the Hairy Hooligan Tribe on the Isle of Berk in the Barbaric Archipelago. My father is the Chief right now, and my mom was taken by a dragon sixteen years ago when I was a baby; everyone believes dragons ate her after being carried off by one. My dad searched for her but came up with nothing, so he raised me alone. Things were good until I was about eight years old when he started putting me in the forge with Gobber the Belch, his best friend, and the Tribe blacksmith. Not a huge deal; I became Gobber's apprentice at age ten. The guy practically raised me alongside my dad, and I see him as a father figure or crazy uncle at best.
I don't remember my dad being in my life before I was about three or four; Gobber says that's because my father gave me to my aunt, Freda Jorgenson to nurse me after mom was taken. Her husband is my dad's brother, Spitelout Jorgenson, and they took Freda's maiden name for their family name, but Snotlout and Spitelout are of the Haddock bloodline. Anyway, most babies and children are breastfed until they are three or four, and in my mother's absence; I needed to be fed, so I went to my aunt who was nursing her son, my cousin, Snotlout Jorgenson, born about four months after I had been and my mom got taken when I was about five months old.
Something amazing happened when I was fifteen. I shot down the rarest, fastest, most elusive and dangerous dragon known Vikings, which is what we are. I shot down a Night Fury, but nobody believed me, so I went out to find it myself. This dragon was known as the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. It took part in a lot of the raids on my island, Berk. So, I was surprised when it let me live when it's highly suggested in our dragon manual that you do not engage this dragon, and that your only hope is to hide and pray it doesn't find you. Did I listen to the advice written by seven generations of Vikings before me? Of course not! So I found the dragon in the woods just of Raven Point, which is about fifteen minutes from my house and the Great Hall. Seeing the Night Fury wrapped up in my bola, weak, and defenseless; I couldn't kill it. I knew that feeling, so I wouldn't kill it. I set it free, and in turn, the dragon let me live.
Now, I never expected that this Night Fury and I would become friends, but it happened. I went against everything a Viking stood for and befriended a dragon; a Night Fury. See, when this dragon was caught in my bola; the landing in the forest ripped off the left tail fin, as I found out when I was roaming the woods a day after letting the dragon go, and found it in the cove, which is below Raven Point. A secluded area of trees, a small pond with fish, caves, rocks, vines; it's quite nice. Anyway, I found the Night Fury there and realized it was trapped and couldn't fly. I observed this dragon and earned its trust with fish. Night Furies are smart; I gave him my trust, and he gave me his; we bonded as friends. This dragon is my best and only friend; I named him Toothless because he has retractable teeth.
I designed a new invention, one that lets Toothless fly again. I built a fake tail fin, and it works. The only problem is that I have to be on Toothless's back and control the fin with a pedal that opens, closes, and changes the position of the fin while flying. It's all connected with a saddle, ropes, pulleys, and cables. I think I did pretty good, and heck; I've kept him hidden all this time without raising any suspicions. Toothless and go flying every night, and no one questions a thing. However, I learned some things with Toothless that I can use with other dragons, to make them playful, docile even. It got me pretty popular in the village, and I escaped my final exam to be named a true Viking by killing a dragon because mysteriously all the dragons escaped the kill ring the night before my test, and so far, no others have been caught. That was entirely my doing, and I didn't get caught.
My success got my dad's attention, though, and he's started keeping me around more. I think he's trying to see if I can handle training to become Chief when I turn eighteen. I don't have much interest in it right now, and at some point; I'd like to show everyone the truth with dragons. But it's not possible at the moment because I know where the dragon's nest is, and the source of the raids. For there to ever be any chance of peace between humans and dragons; this source needs to disappear. Easier said than done; it's a massive dragon that controls smaller ones to do what it says. I call it Red Death. But back to what my dad is doing with me; he's been having me around him. And one of the many things a Chief does attends meetings and important celebrations.
I'm at one right now. Turning sixteen is a big deal for an Heir to a Tribe; it signifies them being a young adult, and of age to start training to take over the Tribe at eighteen. I got a party too; it wasn't that interesting. The party I'm attending is on Hysteria Island for Heiress Natalie Heift, firstborn daughter of Norbert and Ingrid Heift; the Chief and Chieftess of the Hysterics Tribe. Natalie has a little brother too, but he's only twelve. So, right now all the Chieftains and Heirs are present on Hysteria for the party of Natalie turning sixteen. Every Heir had to bring a gift for her, and whichever she liked best would be honored with a dance. Sometimes these things were used for an Heir or Heiress to pick the person they wanted to rule besides, but that was only the case if there was another Heir to take over the Tribe if they left.
I didn't care so much for it, so I chose a gift she likely didn't want or need. I hoped that wasn't the case tonight, but I never knew until it happened sometimes. I never picked a favorite at my party, that and like I said; I didn't care. I've known most of these people all my life. I know every island, Chieftain, Heir, and Tribe currently; as an Heir myself, it's my job to know these things.
"Hey, stranger," I heard a female voice bring me from my thoughts.
=Normal POV=
Hiccup looked up and found his eyes meeting a set of purple ones; he was looking right at Natalie. "Hey," Hiccup greeted.
"What'cha doing over here by yourself?" Natalie asked with a smile.
"You know me, staying out of the way," Hiccup replied. "Happy birthday,"
"Thanks," Natalie responded. Hiccup got to see Natalie during his sixteenth birthday, or during someone else's. The only other time was once a year at the Chieftain meetings. Heirs were permitted to come if they were twelve or older. Natalie and Hiccup had always been good friends from the time they met; that wasn't to say all of the Heirs weren't friends, but Hiccup and Natalie were closer, sharing the values of not being totally invested in becoming the Tribe leader as soon as possible.
"Enjoying the party? How many handshakes or hugs have you gotten yet?" Hiccup chuckled.
"Too many for comfort," Natalie laughed a little. "But I think I can take one more from you," she added as Hiccup stepped closer and hugged her. "So come on, join me. No hiding in the back," she offered her hand to him. It was her birthday, so Hiccup felt like he couldn't say no. Hiccup took her hand as she brought him more into the party.
. . .
(Night)
(Hysteria Island; Great Hall)
It had been an interesting night thus far. After greetings, everyone ate dinner and some treats. And now it had come to gifts. Natalie got through everyone else's except for Hiccup's, so far nothing had her interest, or that's what Hiccup thought. Everything Natalie got from male Heirs was necklaces, bracelets. The girls had clothes, headbands. Natalie got a hair clip from her little brother and something from her parents too. However, the last to go was Hiccup, and after seeing everything else; Hiccup knew his probably sucked.
"I think that brings us to you, son," Stoick smiled, a hand on Hiccup's shoulder.
Natalie turned her head and smiled at Hiccup as he grabbed his gift off the table and brought it to her. "Come, sit with me," Hiccup set the gift in front of her and sat down on the bench as Natalie started opening the gift. "A bow, and quiver of arrows?" she arched a brow.
"I remember what you said last time we saw each other that your original set got broken; the first one you ever got, and it was destroyed and ended up in the ocean, and no one would give you another because they felt it was unbefitting of a lady to have such weapons," Hiccup shrugged.
"I told you that like…I don't know, three years ago," Natalie blinked.
"But we haven't really seen one another except other parties, events, and the annual Chieftain meeting, and it seemed out of character to present it without reason…So I waited until your birthday," Hiccup said. "Yeah, I know. Lame gi-,"
"I LOVE IT!" Natalie screeched happily before she lunged at Hiccup and hugged him tightly. Hiccup blinked a few times, surprised at her reaction. "I love it! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, Hiccup!" Natalie giggled. Hiccup hugged her back, not wanting to be rude.
"I, uh, I'm glad you like it," Hiccup said.
"Gods, it's been so long…I wonder if I can even do it still," Natalie wondered. "And I love that it's purple and black! You remembered my favorite colors too!"
"My memory is not awful. Is anything yours if you don't make it something to represent yourself?" Hiccup asked. "And I'm sure you can still do it; it's not hard, and you don't typically lose a skill you're good at," Hiccup smiled. "Why don't you try it out?"
"It was never a skill, just a hobby that I enjoyed. I tried to practice before, but Heiress duties," Natalie rolled her eyes.
"I know the feeling," Hiccup laughed. "Well, it your birthday, so who is going to argue with you today? Go on, try it out," he urged. Natalie got up, holding the bow and getting an arrow.
"Where are you going to shoot it? It's dark outside," Dagur, Heir of Berserker Island, asked. Hiccup knew that he was about twenty, and likely about to take over as Chief of the Berserker Tribe.
"If everyone moves back, she could shoot at the door," Norbert, Natalie's father, said. Everyone moved out back some, giving the Hysteric Heiress some space. Natalie loaded the arrow on the string, took her stance, and tried to find a spot to aim.
"Where's the target?" Natalie wondered.
"Aim for the slit where the doors meet when they close," Hiccup suggested.
"Oh, that's a good idea. Thanks, Hiccup!" Natalie smiled as she found her target and fired the arrow; it hit off to the right, and she frowned. "I guess I need more practice,"
"I think you could have had it if you changed a few things," Hiccup offered.
"Nah, that's a hard mark to make; it's dim lighting in here," Natalie shrugged. "If you think you can prove me wrong, you do it," she handed him the bow. Hiccup took it and grabbed an arrow out of the quiver. Hiccup notched the arrow on the string and drew it back while taking his stance. Hiccup released as the arrow flew through the air and struck the target. Hiccup smiled looking at Natalie now.
"I await your rebuttal, Milady," Hiccup remarked.
"Oh, shut up!" Natalie grumbled as she took her bow back from him. "How'd you do that? I don't remember you being good with weapons,"
"It's been a couple of years," Hiccup stated.
"True, but still! Come on, show me!" Natalie asked.
"Get another arrow," Hiccup told her as she did so. "Alright, take your stance," he instructed. Natalie did so, loading the arrow on the string and pulling back. "Okay, first…Lower this arm a little," Hiccup set his hand on her right arm, bringing it down a little. "Turn your body, letting your left leg and foot lead," Natalie did so. "Use your mouth as an anchor,"
"Excuse me?" Natalie blinked.
"Just do it," Hiccup chuckled. "Trust me,"
"Okay…" Natalie nodded, doing what he said.
"Now…Relax your left hand on the bow," Hiccup informed while Natalie released her super tight grip. "Look at your target, and take aim," he said. Natalie saw the space where the doors met in the middle, she closed one eye and prepared to fire. "Keep both eyes open," he stated. Natalie opened both, still looking at her mark. "Take a deep breath," Natalie did. "And release with the breath you took,"
Natalie fired, and the arrow struck right under Hiccup's. Natalie jumped in surprise, smiling. "I-I did it! I did it!" she cheered.
"See? Sometimes it's all changing a few things that make the difference," Hiccup informed.
"I'll never doubt you again," Natalie giggled. "Your gift is my favorite; I love it. Thank you, Hiccup,"
"You're welcome," Hiccup replied.
"Well, now; we should get back to the party!" Norbert announced.
. . .
(Late Night)
(Hysteria; Great Hall)
Everyone was having a good time; Natalie and Hiccup stayed close to one another all night, chatting, snacking, and enjoying mead. That was another drink a teenager could have once they had turned sixteen; it was alcohol, but not strong. However, enough of it could get people into interesting situations or acting like idiots. Natalie and Hiccup had a few mugs of it; they were feeling relaxed. Others had gone home, and the adults were almost drunk because they were getting progressively louder.
"What?" Hiccup asked. "I can hardly hear you," he added.
"I said; we should go somewhere else to talk!" Natalie informed louder.
"Oh! Yeah, you're right!" Hiccup nodded. Natalie and Hiccup got up and managed to sneak out of the Great Hall together. "Seems like it's more of a party for them to catch up now," he stated.
"That's why I figured it was cool if we left," Natalie smiled. "Come on; I know where we can go that is quiet and warm," she invited, leading Hiccup away from the hall with her.
(Hysteria; The Waterfall)
Reaching the harbor with the ships, Natalie took Hiccup along the side of the island on a small segment of the beach and behind a waterfall. "Dad keeps our best ships in here that he uses for travel," Natalie explained. "Despite the waterfall, it's quiet here and one of my favorite places to hide out," she added.
"I have a place like this on Berk; it's called the cove, and under Raven Point away from the village," Hiccup said.
"Hey, we all need a getaway," Natalie shrugged as she brought Hiccup behind the ships and into a cave a bit higher up.
"Seems cozy," Hiccup pointed out as he saw some shelves with books, a spot on the floor with pillows and furs.
"Thank you again for the bow and arrows. The best gift of all tonight," Natalie smiled. "I feel like I need to repay you,"
"It was a present, Natalie," Hiccup stated.
"But still…You're the only one who thought of something I would actually like and use. You remembered something I told you years ago, my favorite colors…You…Made it special, and personal for me. That means a lot more than the other stuff I got," Natalie responded as she leaned closer with soft eyes.
Hiccup swallowed the lump in his throat as Natalie continued getting closer. Hiccup felt his heart pounding in his chest fast as he got closer to her; perhaps it was the alcohol, but at the same time, neither of them wanted to stop. The kiss set both of their bodies on fire as it continued to excel to the point that Natalie wrapped her arms around Hiccup's neck, dragging him down onto the bed of furs with her.
~Lemon Start~
Hiccup was on top of Natalie; they were kissing one another feverishly. Hiccup's hands moved up Natalie's slim figure, ending up the shirt by accident and landing on Natalie's breasts. The sixteen-year-old gasped into the kiss, moaning a little. Hiccup continued to move his hands a little, massaging as he went. Natalie pulled off Hiccup's brown fur vest, tossing it aside before yanking his green shirt up and off. Hiccup got Natalie's shirt off next while they continued kissing. Hiccup unhooked Natalie's skirt, pulling it down with her black leggings and underwear; she instantly blushed but didn't stop. Natalie reached her hands down to untie Hiccup's pants, pushing them down with Hiccup's underwear as he got them off the rest of the way.
The two were completely naked now, still kissing and feeling each other's bodies. Hiccup's length was hard as Natalie held onto Hiccup tightly. "I…W-Want…You…" Natalie managed to get out between the kisses. Hiccup pushed Natalie's legs apart and positioned himself at Natalie's entrance; then he pushed inside hard and fast. Natalie screamed out into Hiccup's mouth, whimpering as the pain shot through her body. Hiccup stayed still, continuing to kiss her, but before long she shifted and moaned.
Hiccup fixed his position, staring down at Natalie as he started rocking his hips back and forth slowly. "Mmm…Hiccup…" Natalie held Hiccup's shoulders, looking up at him with soft eyes. Hiccup moaned as well; it felt good. Hiccup and Natalie continued at this for a bit, Hiccup just thrusting in and out of her core hard and fast. Both of them moaned at the amazing feeling, and gave not a care in the world about anything else; it was is everything else faded away and only left them to this moment.
As midnight approached shortly after they began, neither of them could hold back the feeling that crept up. "Nat, I can't…Hold it," Hiccup groaned.
"D-Don't then. N-Neither can…I…" Natalie moaned, holding onto Hiccup tighter now. "Mm…Hiccup, yes! Ah!" she cried out, her walls tightening around Hiccup's length. It sent him over the edge as he gave a final thrust, releasing fast.
"Gods…Natalie!" Hiccup moaned. The two laid there, still and Hiccup collapsing on top of Natalie after his arms gave out. The two panted, breathing heavy, and sharing some kisses as the feeling continued to wash over them in waves.
~Lemon End~
Hiccup eventually pulled out and held Natalie close while pulling the blanket up over their nake figures. Not long after, sleep took both of them away.
