Sorry for the late update, hadn't really had time to write. Anyway, here's the chapter. And sorry to NertaFenton7, I don't really like Hicctsrid. I see them as just best friends.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Hiccup and Merida strolled slowly inside the castle, Merida holding Hiccup's arm faintly. Hiccup looked around, occasionally glancing at Merida's frizzy orange hair. He inhaled Merida's scent, disguising it as taking a big breath of air. He let out an intentional sigh.
Merida looked up at him, her blue eyes staring at Hiccup's hazel ones. They stopped walking and stared at each other. Merida smiled, making Hiccup smirk. Merida looked back down and saw a door that was ajar, on it was a sign saying 'Do Not Enter'. "Hiccup, let's go in there" said Merida, excitedly while pointing at the door. "You know, you're not like your usual self" said Hiccup, looking at Merida. "Like how?" she asked, looking at him confused. "You're obviously speaking in a higher tone of voice" said Hiccup, making Merida clear her throat. "No, I'm not" said Merida after her throat clearing.
Their little argument was starting to flare and far behind them were Jack and Elsa spying on them. "You sure, it's gonna work? It looks like they're arguing instead of going into the room" said Elsa, looking at Jack. "I've told you a million times, trust me" said Jack, turning his attention back to Merida and Hiccup.
"You speak in a much deeper voice when your talk to either Jack or Elsa" argued Hiccup, smiling. "No I don't, this is my normal voice" retorted Merida. "No it's not" said Hiccup. "Yes it is!" shouted Merida softly. Hiccup stayed silent for a while and smirked. "Fine, let's go" he said, walking towards the door while Merida wrapped her arms around Hiccup's arms again.
Hiccup pushed opened the door slowly, Merida's grip tightening. "You know you're much braver than that" Hiccup said, his hand still on the door. Merida sulked at him and looked down instantly, her face turning slightly pink. Hiccup laughed silently, pushing the door again. The door was soon opened wide.
The room was dark, no candles or windows. The cracks on the walls that let through a slight bit of light being the only source of sight aid in the room. Merida walked in, feeling welcomed by the eerie and mysterious feeling to the room.
She walked for a while before tripping and falling on the floor. Hiccup ran to her aid, jumping over what ever had tripped Merida. "Are you okay?" asked Hiccup. Merida groaned as she propped herself up on her arms. She looked at Hiccup, barely making out his shape. Just then, candle lights started lighting up slowly leading a path. Merida looked at it with awe while Hiccup looked at it with shock; a table set with food were in front of them. Merida looked back at Hiccup, her hands in front of her. She looked at the floor and asked, "Did you plan this?" her face turning red.
"I… I…" he muttered, Merida barely hearing. He looked around and saw a glimpse of Jack's hood. Jack's head popped out from his hiding place and he smirked while giving him thumbs up. Another pair of hands appeared with the thumbs up. Elsa's head popped up right after with a smile. Hiccup turned back to Merida who was still waiting for an answer. "Yes… I did" said Hiccup, rubbing his neck. They stood awkwardly for a moment then Hiccup put out his hand. "Shall we?" asked Hiccup, smiling. "Consider it shall" said Merida, taking Hiccup's arm.
They walked to the table, Hiccup pulling the chair out for Merida to sit. She nodded a thank you and Hiccup sat down opposite to her. Set in front of them were freshly caught lobsters, season with salt and pepper, sided with oysters. A cup of sparkling juice was in place of wine. Merida picked up the lobster and started to tear its shell off. She ate rather loudly, Hiccup following suit but much quieter.
Merida finished eating, her hands dirtied with the juice of the lobster. Hiccup set down his lobster and started picking out the lobster meat that was inside the parts where the shells were hard. Merida sat there waiting for Hiccup. Hiccup finished and he put down everything in his hands and stood up. "Let's go wash our hands" said Hiccup, walking towards the door with Merida beside him.
They arrived beside the river and started to scoop out water to wash their hands. They walked into the castle again, their hands were dripping wet. The servants came with towels and wiped their hands for them. Once their hands were dry, Merida resumed her usual position, holding Hiccup's arm. She leaned her head against his shoulder.
Hiccup blushed. "We're done exploring the castle… What do you want to do now?" He asked, looking down at her hair. Merida let go of Hiccup's arm and looked up at him. "This" she said, pulling him closer by the collar, their lips connecting. Hiccup's eyes were as wide as saucers; he hesitated for a while and finally gave in. Their kissed lasted, Jack and Elsa smiling. They pulled apart and Jack clapped; Hiccup and Merida's attention turning to him.
"Jack?" Merida questioned. "The one and only" he said, his hands out wide. Elsa stood beside him awkwardly. "When were you guys here?" she asked, looking at Hiccup for an explanation. "A whole lot longer than you would expect" said Hiccup. "To put it short, we set this whole thing up" said Elsa, smiling. "You knew about this?!" she looked up at Hiccup. "No, it was only until when we ate that I knew" said Hiccup. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked. "I didn't know how and it was just in the moment, I didn't want to ruin it" said Hiccup.
Merida stayed silent, suddenly she hugged Hiccup. "Don't lie to me ever again" said Merida, burying her face onto Hiccup's chest. "I won't" Hiccup smiled, putting his hands on her head.
Ayeeeeeeeee… Major Merricup there, hope you liked it and I still don't ship Hiccstrid, even if they ended up together, I don't know, I didn't actually see the second movie.
Song Part! (Haven't done this in a long time)
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer
Till' our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
Wait for me to come home
And that is all, R&R&Bye.
