A week after the whole drago fiasco.

Everyone from the village was at the great hall eating supper. This whole week, we had 2 tasks to do which is to get fish. And half of us took down the ice. Tomorrow we will wait for Hiccup to announce new plans which will probably be to start fixing the houses that were destroyed, which was at least 3/4 of berk. Making mostly everyone sleep at the great hall.

We had some unexpected guests from Wingmaiden Island, Berserker Island and Outcast Island that had just came about 15 minutes ago. They had all brought supples (Tools, Food, and water). They are still loading crates to supply house.

And hiccup was nowhere to be found. He was supposed to be there to greet them and thanked them but he wasn't. Well It was fair for him to not be there since they came without telling us.

No one has really seem him since he was making busy making plans. He had plans to fix the houses, He needed to go to a meeting with other chiefs, he needed new traders, etc.The only time I see him is when he gives orders to berk and when he took a nap; it was around 2am and he came to sleep next to me. About 30 minutes later he left. I begged for him to stay; again he just slept for 30 minutes after not sleeping for hours. but he refused. This is just not good for his health and right now he is probably still working on his new plans.

I said goodbye to the gang and got hiccup a plate of chicken and rice; his favorite.

Our guests; Heather, dagur, Mala, Minden, Alvin, and about 10 of their troops went to stay at the great hall. I left with Stormfly, taking her into her stable and gave her some fish.

"I'll see you tomorrow girl" I said as I gave her a kiss on her head and left.

I went to hiccup's house and Knocked the door. I waited a few seconds and no answer. I entered anyways.

"Hiccup?" I said. Still no answer

I went upstairs to his room and opened his door. He was just sitting there on his desk, writing.

"Hiccup, why you didn't answer the door I-" said as I put the plate down and got I close look at his face. Oh no..

Hiccup was just a mess. His hair was a mess. He has bags on his eyes. He looks like he was about to pass out.

"Hiccup you need to stop working and start getting some rest" I said, putting his pencil down.

"Astrid I can't. Im the chief, I need to be there for my people, I need to ge-"

"You need a break after everything that has happened. Look, I can even be acting chief for tomorrow, you can't perform your duties like this." I said as I tried to get him to stand up but he refused.

"I'll go to sleep in a while, just let me finish this, Im almost done" He said taking my pencil from my hand

"No Hiccup you always said that. You're never close to finishing." I said as I took his pencil away from him again and now he just looked at me with a irritated face.

He banged his hand on the table "YOU wanted me to be chief right?! so just let me do my duties!!" He quickly stood up and he grabbed my arm tightly, taking his pencil back. I whimpered. His eyes widened after. Hiccup rarely screamed at me and grabbed me like that. This was just no like him.

"I am so sorry astrid. Im sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you or scream at you." hiccup said as he examined my arm. There was a red mark which will go away soon; it wasn't that bad.

I nodded.

He sat down "Im sorry I just don't feel like myself. I mean, I was automatically pronounced chief when I got here. A few days ago I got a letter from our traders that they quit, they feel that being connected to us, could bring them trouble. Then I mailed other traders and all of them rejected.. And the whole incident was just..traumatizing." He said that last part quietly, looking away. I moved closer and I could see tears forming in his eyes.

"Hiccup" I said as I gave him a hug. "We all miss him hiccup but..what happened, happened and-"

"It was my fault" He said, his voice cracked.

"No it wasn't. It was drago's, he m-"

"I was stupid, Im an idiot who thought that I can convince Drago to appreciate dragons. Im an idiot!" He said letting go of me. Putting both his hands on his face, he broke down, crying.

I rarely see hiccup cry and I just hate seeing him like this.

"Don't say that hiccup. You're the most bravest and smartest Viking I know. You tried to bring peace without using violence, that's the hiccup we know and love. Drago is the one to blame. He made that bewilderbeast control toothless. You're not the one to be blamed. Just please remember that" I gave him a hug.

"I love you" He said quietly.

"I love you too Hiccup" I said

We stayed like this for a while until I heard his stomach growl.

"And that reminds me. When was the last time you ate?"

"Ummm. In the morning"

I stared at him

"Umm. Like 4 days ago. Sorry I was just busy planning stuff out, mildly."

"And that's why I brought you, you're favorite food, Rice and Chicken" I said picking up the plate from the table and placed it in his desk. And I finally saw a smile on his face. There's my hiccup. He ate everything on his plate, I even went to get him some more. After that we just had a conversation.

"And you need to talk to us hiccup. We're you're family Hiccup. We work as a team. Every chief need help. Stoick even had my father, Gobber, and Spitelout to help him. You can't just push us away. Fishlegs had some pretty greats ideas and you ignored him. Snotlout along with the twins were worried about you, Your mother and I tried to get you to eat, I even hear other people talk about you. How you're so tired and pale. Everyone is worried about you. Why did you just push us away?

"I just... I feel like I should do things by myself." He said as he stood up and just laid down on his bed.

"Like this job just messed me up. Being chief means to just be the one responsible and dependent on everyone. Until you reasoned with me."

I went lay down with him; on top of him

"And Im will soon be your wife, I'm soon gonna be called-"

"General Haddock" Hiccup said as he kissed me. "And I will always be by your side forever and ever no matter what. I will be your second in command" I said as We kissed again.

He laid down beside me. A few minutes passed and I was stroking his soft auburn hair.

And he soon fell asleep as I did too.
