A/N:
I have always agreed with myself and other believers that Eret has a freaking crush on Astrid. I mean, you can kinda see signs in the second movie. I'm not pointing out which scenes, I'm too lazy.
I love a jealous Hiccup. Who's with me?
Anyway, here's a short but juicy one-shot!
Hiccup has had bad feelings about things before. The Red Death, fighting against Drago. But this bad feeling was about something, or someone, that he felt was unnecessary.
Eret.
This guy has learned to see dragons as loyal and sweet creatures less than a day after he met Hiccup. Mainly because Stormfly saved his life.
After Drago was defeated and Toothless became Alpha, Eret has been rather close to Astrid. Not like friendly close. Like really close. Too close for Hiccup.
Hiccup may not always be the jealous type [though we wish he was sometimes, like, come on. Everyone wants drama. I do at least] but he certainly doesn't like sharing his lady. As much as he respects women, Astrid was just too precious to him. He couldn't let her go. She's his everything.
Hiccup was sitting at a table with Gobber and his mother in the Great Hall. He sipped up some of his drink from his cup, never letting his eyes get away from his fiancee and Eret, who was sitting at the table across the Hall with the rest of the gang.
Eret apparently said something funny, making the others laugh. Hiccup smiled at Astrid laughing. Seeing the joy on her face always cheered him up. It made him realize how beautiful she is when she laughs. Well, he didn't love her laughing so much because of Eret.
Because of his chief duties, Astrid has been spending more time with him than she usually does. He catches them flying around on their dragons around Berk almost every day, smiling and laughing.
He just wishes he and Astrid were like that again.
The two lovers have been in a few arguments, that they've both changed. That they're not the couple they used to be. Well, of course, they're not. They're older, more mature now. That was what they both tried to convince themselves, at least. They're allowed to hang out with other girls and boys, they both accepted that. But Hiccup obviously didn't.
He wanted to be happy for her, with her. He wanted to be able to respect the friendship between Eret and Astrid. But he just couldn't. He had a bad feeling. A really bad feeling. They way Eret was around her. He wanted to be more than friends.
Hiccup finished his drink and forced the cup back down on the table. He scooted his chair backward, standing up. He slowly made his way to the table where the other two were sitting.
Astrid heard footsteps coming closer. She turned to see Hiccup coming towards her. Her smile went wider. "Hey." She patted the empty seat next to her. It was the opposite side of her then where Eret was sitting.
Instead, Hiccup ignored the offer and stood behind her and Eret. Eret took the hint and scooted over, letting Hiccup sit between the two. You could hear Eret growl in annoyance as he looked away.
Astrid raised her eyebrow suspiciously. "Are you okay?" Astrid asked Hiccup. She's noticed Hiccup acting a little odd lately. "You could've sat on the other side."
Hiccup swang an arm around her shoulders. "You know," Hiccup started. "I always prefer to view the right side of you. Or sit on the right side."
Astrid averted her eyes from her fiancee, looking around the Great Hall in confusion. "Um, since when?"
"Since when?" Hiccup laughed nervously. "It has been that way for a while."
Astrid knew something wasn't right. Viewing her from the right side? Where did that come from?
"Did Drago do something?" Astrid asked, her face worried. "It has only been a couple of weeks."
"U-uh, no!" Astrid's eyes widened at his voice. "I've always been fine."
"If it's about your father, I'm here for you," Astrid said genuinely, placing a hand on her heart.
Hiccup's face turned into a frown. His jealousy was so much that it covered the grief he was experiencing about his father's death. Some tears appeared but Hiccup wiped them away quickly before Astrid could notice.
"I know, thank-"
Eret stood up from his seat. He held out his hand to Astrid. "Shall we go on the moonlit flight, my lady?"
My Lady? MY LADY? Hiccup thought. ONLY I CAN CALL HER THAT.
Hiccup puffed out his chest and got up from his seat, looking at Eret. "I'm sorry, what did you call her?"
Eret averted his eyes from Astrid to Hiccup. "Um, My Lady?"
"Well, I'm sorry to say that she isn't your lady." Hiccup narrowed his eyes at the man.
"Well, she seemed available, so I took my chance-"
"This," Hiccup raised his voice for this part, "lady, you call available, is my fiancee." Eret was quiet. He couldn't think of anything to say. Astrid was shocked by the idea of Eret trying to court her. She never really noticed it. Now that she thinks about it, it all makes sense. The way Eret placed her favorite flower on her doorstep every morning. She knew what it meant now.
"I-I'm sorry, chief," Eret struggled to get words out of his mouth, fearing he'll say anything that will make Hiccup madder. "I never knew."
Hiccup let out a long sigh, happy that it's clear. "It's quite all right." Eret nodded shakingly. He turned to make his way out of the Great Hall quickly.
Hiccup looked to his right to see his fiancee's face in shock. "I never knew you had it in you," Astrid smirked. "I'm not complaining, though."
"But," Astrid quickly added, grabbing Hiccup's face to pull it closer to her's, "you don't have to worry about anyone taking me from you. I'm yours and yours only. Forever." Astrid mentioned to the ring on her finger. It's the ring Hiccup proposed to her with.
Hiccup smiled at his lady. He connected their lips for a quick second. "And you're mine. Never forget it."
