Author's Notes: First off Happy Halloween and if you don't celebrate Halloween or are in another country then Happy Saturday. I would like to thank all the people who have favorited and followed my story and to those who have reviewed you have my utmost thanks. A few of you have said that I should not follow the canon since that way is boring and predictable. Well, I am not really following canon, but I kind of am at the same time. My idea is to loosely follow it, I will be using the existing storyline as a safety cord, and when I run out of it which will be around chapter fifteen, I will get to dive head first into the deep end of the pool to which I am excited at. This style works for me, I have pages and pages of notes and ideas that I want to give a try for this story. So please give my story and me your faith and time that you will continue to read it. As always here is a shout out to all those who have written reviews: fanfictionmakermachine, cluelessRJ, Vahn N. Chrome, supersandman86, KtyouVsWriting, ravenx1988, and TheWritingFactory. There will be a post chapter author's note in this chapter.

Chapter 5

Letters and Gifts

"Hiccup! Hiccup!" He heard his father yell his name as he worked in the forge finishing a sword for an order.

"I'm in here dad!" Hiccup shouted back, alerting his father to his location.

"I needed to tell ye something son." Stoick said in his thick accent, ducking below the archway to get inside the warm forge.

"What is it dad?" Hiccup asked, not taking his eyes off the hot sword as he pounded the dents out of it with his hammer.

Stoick moved into the forge taking a large hammer and inspected it, "You won't be going to see Elsa this year."

"What! But dad it's been the three-year period, I'm supposed to see Elsa in a week, why couldn't you have told me earlier." Hiccup countered exasperated at the thought of not seeing his only friend.

"I'm sorry son, but there have been too many dragon raids and I don't feel safe sending me son and only blacksmith out alone. I have already told Agdar and he understands."

"But, but I want to see Elsa, I miss her so much." Hiccup responded desperately wanting to see Elsa.

"So, then send ye lass a letter." Stoick replied with a grin.

Hiccup blushed at the implementation that she was his partner.

"Dad, she's not my partner."

"True, but she is yer sweetheart. Now finish up with yer orders and meet me in the great hall for supper." Stoick said while dropping the hammer into table causing it to shift slightly which caused his drink to fall into the fire. Hiccup only had a second to retreat from the fire, or else he would have been burned from the steam.

After picking himself up and finishing the sword he had managed to save, he set himself upon writing a letter to Elsa. He would give it to Trader Johann to deliver to her; he was trustworthy most of the time.

Striking a match to light a nearby candle and grabbing his favorite charcoal pencil, he started his letter.

"Dear Elsa, I am writing you to tell you that sadly I won't be coming this year, something about danger in the seas. Personally, I would swim the Arendellian Sea to reach you, though I would probably drown before I got passed the outer archipelago. Over the past three years I have read every book you have sent me, I like reading about mathematics, science, engineering, economics, and politics. Correction, I love reading about engineering, and I have built some of my own contraptions. Though, most have back fired, failed utterly or caused me to get into trouble because the machine destroyed something in the village. Most, if not all my inventions are in the forge, that way I can tinker with them at my leisure." Hiccup paused thinking for a moment about whether he wanted to tell her about his role in the village.

"The village loves me dearly and… actually they don't love me, they blame me for everything. I mean look at my name 'Hiccup'; means runt of the litter. I try really hard to fit in with the others, but everything always fails and they hate me even more. The others who I am referring to and don't laugh about their names are Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Snotlout and Astrid. The only one who is kind of nice to me is Fishlegs; he is a large guy who loves to read like me. He actually borrowed some of my books, he has a fascination with numbers and doesn't pick on me like the others. As you probably guessed it Ruffnut and Tuffnut are fraternal twins and they tend to pick on me only when I say something they don't understand. Which tends to be all the time since my education is higher than theirs, they like to destroy or damage everything I build." Hiccup took a breath from writing, flexing his hand and looking at the drawings of his friends. Well, friends were a bit of a stretch, comrades were a better word since they all tried to protect the village the best they could.

"Snotlout is by far the meanest and he's my cousin. He likes to beat me up, push and trip me and make fun of me at every opportunity. I think it's because I'm next in line to be Chief and he's jealous of that fact; I'm worried he might actually kill me when I try to become Chief. The last person on my comrade list would be Astrid who is the most beautiful girl on the island and every guy tries to get her attention including Snotlout. I don't mostly because she calls me 'useless' whenever I try and do something for her either it be sharpening her axe or inventing a machine to make her day easier. No matter what nothing is ever good enough for her." Hiccup took another break, thinking about whether or not to attach a drawing of his 'friends' in the letter.

"In this letter I will attach a drawing of what they look like and you can choose whether or not they look like what their names suggest. I will also send some summer gloves for you since that season is approaching quickly. Well, I guess I should wrap this letter up. I miss you dearly Elsa and hope to see you and spend time with you next year, you truly are the only friend I have in the world. Tell Anna and your parents that I miss them too. You are so lucky to have people who don't fear that you will put them in danger thanks to your hand or something you made with your hands. Please write back to me, some of my letters got destroyed or lost thanks to Snotlout, we also have had a lot of dragon raids destroying our ships and … people. Hope to see you soon.

Your Friend, Hiccup"

As he finished the drawing he looked out the window and saw that it was really dark, well past supper time. "Oops, I guess I spent a few hours writing the letter and drawing the picture of my friends who hate me." Hiccup thought out loud, if he ran down to the docks he would be able to give it to Trader Johann before he left to go on his next trade. Hiccup wrapped the papers up and put them in a leather tube and secured it with a cork and string. Running by Vikings and farm animals he made it to the docks right as Johann was pulling up his anchor.

"Johann! Can you give this to Princess Elsa of Arendelle" Hiccup shouted to the trader before throwing him the letter.

Johann caught it easily and nodded his head "It would be an honor Mr. Hiccup." He shouted back.

Hiccup watched the ship disappear into the horizon, before he turned back to go to the Great Hall. He hoped there was some chicken left. As he was walking by the forge, he suddenly found himself on the ground and in pain. Hiccup rolled over onto his back and looked up to see Snotlout standing over him. "What do you want Snotlout?"

"Nothing, what did you give to Trader Johann?" He asked with venom in his voice.

"Just a letter" Hiccup replied casually.

"Ooh a letter to whom? Your secret girlfriend, like someone would ever love a loser like you." He replied before kicking Hiccup in the stomach.

"That's none of your business, Snotlout." Hiccup tried saying in a tough voice, but failing miserably.

Snotlout grabbed Hiccup by his tunic and dragged him up so that he could look him in the eye. "What you do is my business if you try to become Chief one day, that honor should have gone to me instead of a useless runt like you." He spat as he punched Hiccup in the stomach and then threw him to the side of the path. "Just stay out of my way and you will fine, if not then you will have more accidents." Snotlout said before walking toward the Great Hall.

As Hiccup looked up at the night sky, his hunger thankfully went away and was replaced by severe pains sadly. He managed to haul himself up and wobble his way to his home, up the steps and collapse into bed.

"Odin, you know I don't ask for a lot so please make this year go by faster. I want to see Elsa before I have an accident that will leave me permanently disabled or worse. Please Odin hear my prayers." Hiccup whispered before succumbing to sleep.

Thankfully the year did go by a little faster, but not fast enough to avoid the dozen or so accidents thanks to Snotlout and the others.


"Elsa, you have a letter from Hiccup;" the Queen announced at the dinner table and then handed the leather tube to her now fourteen-year-old daughter, time sure did fly for some.

"Thank you Mother. May I be excused?" Elsa asked politely while having a neutral look on her face, she was a full year into her training to become the next Queen.

"Yes, you may." Her mother replied

As Elsa got up from her chair she placed her right foot behind her left heel and then slightly bent her knees performing a small curtsy for the Queen and King.

"Thank you your Majesty. I will be in the courtyard." Elsa said as she was dipping down in the curtsy.

As she turned around and left the dining room, a small smile came to her face as soon as she was alone in the hallway. She held the leather tube to her chest and tried to feel the warmth he must have put in it when he held it last. Elsa pushed the door open to reveal the beautiful courtyard, the flowers were just starting to bloom and a warm breeze flowed passed her face. She really did love spring, easier to melt all the ice she would accidentally create when she had outbursts from excessive feelings. "Remember conceal, don't feel, don't let it show" she remembered her father telling her over and over. The more she stowed away the less likely someone she loved would be hurt. Anna had already had part of her memories wiped away once and she didn't want to have that happen again.

Elsa found the bench Hiccup had asked her to be his Valentine, smiling she sat down and uncorked the tube, pulling out the wrinkled parchment and unfurled it. She started reading the letter "Dear Elsa, I am writing you to tell you that sadly I won't be coming this year, something about danger in the seas. Personally, I would swim the Norwegian Sea to reach you, though I would probably drown before I got passed the outer archipelago. Over the past three years I have read every book you have sent me, I like reading about math, science … Please write back to me, some of my letters got destroyed or lost thanks to Snotlout, we also have had a lot of dragon raids destroying our ships and … people. Hope to see you soon. Your Friend, Hiccup"

Elsa put the letter down on her lap and thought for a moment before going back to one section in particular and rereading it. "Astrid who is the most beautiful girl on the island and every guy tries to get her attention including Snotlout. I don't mostly because she calls me 'useless' whenever I try and do something for her either it be sharpening her axe or inventing a machine to make her day easier. No matter what nothing is ever good enough for her." After thinking for a moment she reread the first ten words again "Astrid who is the most beautiful girl on the island."

"Hiccup is attracted to this Astrid girl, he called her beautiful. He's never called me beautiful." Elsa said to herself out loud feeling anger flow through her, slowly ice spread out from her feet and a small whirlwind of snow began moving around her. She saw what was happening and immediately chanted her mantra: "Remember conceal, don't feel, don't let it show". It wasn't working so she thought of Hiccup smiling at her and concentrating on his smile the snow and ice slowly but surely went away.

"Breathe Elsa, breathe, it's alright now, it went away" she said to herself happy she did not lose full control.

"What is this feeling I am having toward this girl, is it jealousy? She has attracted the attention of every boy in the village including my Hiccup. My Hiccup? We haven't even truly kissed let alone courted each other." She thought, but deep down she knew she was jealous that this Astrid girl got to be near Hiccup for thirty-five of thirty-six months in a three-year period, while she only got one month out of those three years.

"Maybe I can ask to see if Hiccup can stay longer or maybe I can go there to Berk." She said to herself hoping that one of them could come true. After returning from the courtyard she asked her parents about the idea of her going to Berk or Hiccup staying longer for educational reasons. The first idea was outwardly rejected because there was danger in the seas and Agdar did not want to lose his daughter to a dragon of all things. The second idea was given some thought, but he would need to ask Stoick about his thoughts on the matter. "Well at least its progress" she thought before going to her room and starting her reply letter.

"Dear Hiccup, thank you for the letter and I am saddened that you will not be coming this year, but I asked my father if you could stay longer next time to make up for the lost year. Personally I don't think you would drown, you would probably build a ship or a contraption to get you here safely. As for the reading, it's good to hear that you are taking and learning something from all these visits. I personally love reading about fictional stories as well as Economics and Politics. The latter will help me immensely when I become Queen, which hopefully won't be for a long time."

Elsa leaned back in her chair and looked at the flame that was dancing in the gas lantern; there were talks in the region below them that there was some sort of invention that could provide light without a flame. Now that would be an immense improvement of life for they would not need to use flammable liquid to light the castle. There was also a machine called a 'telegraph' that could send a message vast distances by using an 'electrical current'. That would be interesting for instead of waiting weeks for a letter, they could do it in minutes. She was blessed to live in an ever changing world, too bad Berk was so isolated it would probably be decades before things caught up with them, poor Hiccup.

Looking back down at her letter she continued on. "I believe you will get better with time when it comes to the inventions and engineering bit, experiment with different ideas and try and try again till you get it right, don't ever give up. I am sad and angry that would life is so hard for you; if I were there I would defend you and show everyone just how useful you really are. All your friends, I mean comrades sound like an interesting bunch to say the least, I would avoid them all except for Fishlegs who you say treats you better than the others. And definitely avoid Snotlout and Astrid, when you see them just go a different way. The drawing you have provided for me is amazing in the fact is so well drawn, you must have a very steady hand."

Elsa looked at the drawing again and saw that all his 'comrades' were crudely drawn except for Astrid; her portrait was better than the rest. "He must really like her" Elsa thought, narrowing her eyes at this girl and wanting to switch places with her so much.

"You say that I am lucky to have people that don't fear me, who love me so much and express no disdain toward me. The truth is that some fear me in the regard to that I am royalty and if they do something wrong by me or not doing something right for me would cause them to lose their jobs or worse. My parents and sister love me and I love them and that is the only thing I care about more than you, for now. In time I hope we will become closer in our friendship."

As Elsa wrote those words, she desperately wanted to put relationship instead of friendship, to have someone like her mother has. Someone to share her secrets with, to understand her and to protect her from not only herself, but others as well.

As she penned the last words of that paragraph, she wished those things would come true and she could finally have someone with her in this lonely castle. She couldn't play with Anna for fear of harming her again and possibly killing her. "I will never put her life in danger again even if I must hurt her by ignoring her." Elsa said to herself as she drew fresh ink from the ink well.

"I can't wait to see you next year where we will learn so many new languages and advanced studies including mathematics, science and your favorite engineering. Well, I hope this letter finds its way to you safely and that you yourself will be safe till your arrival here. Then we can spend all the time we want together. Yours Truly, Elsa"

Elsa hoped she wasn't too forward with that last part as she put the letter in the envelope and sealed it with the official seal of Arendelle. She put Hiccup's full name on the front and the name of the island where he lived, she then pressed it against her chest to get her smell on it. She never thought she would do something so womanly, but she wanted it to be special. Elsa then gave the letter to Gerda who would have it to be sent to Berk. All she could do now was play the waiting game. And in the meantime study to become queen, and hope Hiccup would send another letter, with the same passion she did.

Over the course of the year, nearly half a dozen letters were sent and received; talking about everything from what was going on at home, what happened in the years between visits and what would they do on the next visit. Thankfully for Hiccup the year went by quickly thanks to the letters, but he was still bullied horrendously by Snotlout and a bit by Astrid when he made a mistake in front of her. When that day did come for him to board the ship to Arendelle, he threw his sack and satchel onto the boat and even tried to get the ship ready for sailing, much to the bafflement of the ship's crew and Gobber. They had never seen him so excited or happy for that matter; they thought it was to get away from working at the forge. They were partially right, but in reality it was for one person and her name was Elsa.


Elsa woke up with a smile, for today was the day Hiccup arrived for his fourth official visit and she felt giddy. Almost. She had learned emotion management techniques on how to control her powers if she became mad, anxious or scared. She also learned how to show no emotion to others including Anna if she had found her in one of the hallways or rooms. Now she would have to use those same techniques around Hiccup since she didn't know how her powers would react around him. Sure her powers didn't react when they exchanged kisses, but that was on the cheek. What if they kissed on the lips, a small blush came to Elsa's cheeks when she thought of that happening.

But still, she was getting ahead of herself, what if Hiccup didn't like- like her, what if he just wanted to be friends? A small frown erased her smile as she thought of this, just because she wanted more, didn't mean he wanted more. There was still that Astrid girl she had to contend and compete with, even though apparently she expressed none of the feelings she had toward Hiccup. Plus, it only takes one day or moment to change everything between two people, one day they could dislike each other and the next they could like one another. As she thought more and more, she heard a faint ship horn in the distance. Elsa walked to the window and cracked it open to see a Viking ship on the horizon.

Smiling she changed into her regular outfit: a purple skirt, magenta sweater with a light blue blouse and green walking slippers. She washed her face in the water basin and while looking in the mirror she noticed some freckles had appeared on her cheeks. Elsa put her short hair into her customary Calais braided crown twist bun, which was slowly becoming larger as her hair grew. After making sure she looked presentable she went through the castle avoiding the areas Anna usually played; Elsa finally arrived in the Greeting Room, a room built to greet foreign dignitaries or royalty. It was furnished with the finest couches, chairs, and tables, Arendelle style artwork and antiques from vast corners of the known world. Elsa sat down on one of the couches and waited, she did not want to go outside the castle walls in fear that she would lose control of her powers somehow.

As the clock ticked away she found herself growing more anxious by the minute, finally the door connecting to the outer hallway opened to reveal a fourteen-year-old Hiccup. He was wearing a long light green sleeve shirt, darkish green colored pants and a dark brown fur vest that matched with his boots. His face shown that he was in the period of growing, his nose had gotten a little bigger and his cheeks were covered in freckles. Even his eyes brows were fuller and so was his smile, but wait a moment what happened to his eye?

"Hiccup, it's been too long." Elsa stated as she got up and walked around the furniture to Hiccup who had put down his sack and also started walking towards her. The two met in the middle between the door and the middle of the room, Hiccups face was pointed at the floor and refused to look up at her, and instead he just threw his arms around her torso and drew her to him in a loving hug between friends.

"I missed you so much Elsa" He stated back as he put his face against her shoulder, he was still shorter than her by a good three inches.

Elsa was taken aback by the hug and wrapped her arms around him in response, "I have missed you too Hiccup."

"He must have been having a rough time back at Berk if he is this affected, Astrid and Snotlout must be really torturing him." Elsa thought, as she slowly rubbed her hand against his back in a soothing motion.

Hiccup gave out a little chuckle, which startled Elsa out of her thoughts

"What is so funny Hiccup?"

"You are so tall; will you ever stop growing? I feel like a midget standing next to you." Hiccup replied pulling out of the hug and giving a small smile to her.

Elsa blushed a little at the thought of towering over Hiccup "Well, girls usually grow first then boys hit their growth spurt later on. You will be taller than me in a few years, then it will be me who is the midget."

"That is true; I just hope I will be just a little taller than you, that way it will be easier to dance with you at balls if we ever go to one." He replied with a smile as he moved over to sit on the edge of the couch arm.

"Hiccup, I hope I am not being too forward, but what happened to your eye?" Elsa said as she brushed some of his bangs away to reveal an ugly black eye.

"Oh, this? I fell on the ship during some rough waves. Nothing to give a fuss over." Hiccup replied quickly, then his nose twitched. Elsa could see it was an obvious lie.

"…" Elsa cast her eyes down and began rubbing her left arm with her right hand, a nervous habit, "Would you like some lunch?"

"That sounds great. I made gifts for everyone, including your parents. I hope to give it to them after I put my stuff away. Would that be acceptable?" Hiccup asked politely, as he reached down and swung his sack over his shoulder and stood up.

Elsa looked at the young man and liked the fact that he was becoming a chivalrous gentleman instead of somebody like that Snotlout boy.

"That would be acceptable, Hiccup. I will meet you in the dining room and I will get everything prepared." Elsa said a smile coming to her face as she turned away and walked toward her parents chamber.


About half an hour later, Hiccup had changed into a fresh tunic and pants, making sure he looked presentable to the King and Queen for lunch. Closing the door behind him he carried a large satchel with him that contained the gifts he made specifically for each person of the royal family. After a ten-minute walk past empty rooms and hallways, he made it to the dining room where he heard some small talk. Knocking first he waited till he was given permission to enter, as he entered he saw the long oak table that glistened in the sunlight with the King seated at the end with his wife sitting next to him and both Elsa and Anna sitting across from each other, now that was rare. He saw a table setting prepared for him seated right next to Elsa. He made his way over and seated himself dropping the satchel carefully on the floor. Hiccup looked back up and smiled at everyone.

"Thank you your majesty for letting me return to Arendelle for another visit to continue my studies among other things." Hiccup said to the King in his most thankful voice, bowing his head slightly.

"You are most welcome Mr. Hiccup, I must say when you are here, my daughters are at their happiest especially Elsa." The King replied with a smile, as he eyed his eldest daughter.

Elsa was able to keep her face stoic, but was unable to prevent the blush that came to her cheeks. She brought her hand up to her mouth to cough, as she tried to hide the color on her face.

"Oh, alright." Hiccup responded hesitantly, unable to knowingly respond to that kind of statement .

"Are you hungry Mr. Hiccup? The royal cooks have prepared a mini feast in honor of your arrival." The King said while putting a napkin across his lap, everyone did the same.

"Oh yes, I am quite famished. Eating nothing but chicken and drinking mead on a ship for a week will make you want to eat something else as soon as you can." He replied to the question, then took a sip of water out of the gold laced goblet.

"Mead? Your father lets you drink alcohol at such a young age?" The King asked with a mild shock look etched on his face.

"Oh yes, I have been drinking mead for over five years now. Mead and water are really the only two things we Vikings drink. Well maybe besides Yak milk really." Hiccup stated in a matter of fact voice.

Elsa had a surprised look on her face; her head tilted to the left a little and her eyes widened. She herself had only tried wine once or twice and had gotten tipsy off one glass. "How much can you drink before you get inebriated Hiccup?" She asked looking at him, her goblet hovering near her lips.

Hiccup stroked his chin and thought for a moment before replying, "I think about five glasses will get me tipsy and eight glasses will get me inebriated. My father can drink at least a barrel before he gets drunk. We have a high tolerance for alcohol, that way we can drink before a battle and feel no pain in case we get injured."

The entire royal family look at the young man with disbelief, shocked that he had been drinking for years and could drink so much without passing out.

"Actually I brought some if you want to try it." Hiccup said enthusiastically reaching into his satchel that he placed on the floor and pulling out a large drum of mead that he then placed on the seat beside him. The drum was about thirty centimeters high and fifteen centimeters in diameter, it could probably old about four liters.

"Umm, I don't know if the childr…" Agdar started before he was interrupted by Anna "Ooh, can I try some, please dad. I have always wanted to try a taste of alcohol." Anna asked with urgent fervor.

Idun who had remained quiet spoke up "come now dear, let the children taste a little, we are celebrating Hiccup's arrival after all." She said with a small smile, as she nodded toward the young Viking.

"Well alright, everyone pass Hiccup your goblets." He sighed defeated, out voted my his own family.

Everyone passed their goblets to Hiccup as he uncorked the drum and let the mead flow equally into each of the goblets. After receiving back their goblets, they were about to taste before Hiccup stopped them.

"Now, before you drink I must tell you to that this is sweet style mead, made out of honey mostly. It is also one of our most tame for alcohol consistency; it won't knock you out on your first gulp." He stated in a warning kind of tone.

The family eyed the liquid warily before taking a taste of the mead. Hiccup just eyed them before a round of coughs erupted from the family; the King put a fist up to his mouth while the women covered theirs with their napkins. "Wow that is some strong stuff", the King replied after a moment of trying to catch his breath. "Really? I think it's tame by our standards; well it is your first time drinking this kind of stuff." Hiccup said while taking a large swig of his glass.

"Elsa, what do you think?" Hiccup asked his friend.

Elsa took another swig and only coughed a little this time. Hiccup naturally started to pat her on the back to help her out. This only made her blush more from the lack of air coming to her lungs.

"It's very good; I can really taste the honey and other spices." She said with a small smile, the smile went away as soon as Hiccup took his hand off of her back.

There was a knock on the door, and then the chefs and servants came in with the generous food offerings. A warm smile came to Hiccup's face from all the choices.

An hour later heavy amounts of laughter could be heard coming out of the room, the first time in a long time it seemed that the castle felt this warm.

"And so there I was, flying through the air and where did I land? Not in a grassy knoll, but a chicken pen, I came out of the pen covered from head to toe in feathers and smelling of chicken droppings." Hiccup said then laughed, "I smelled like a chicken for a week."

The entire room erupted in laughter again, that mead had helped to loosen everyone up.

The King and Queen were having trouble catching their breaths while Anna was laughing hysterically and Elsa was giving a good laugh, but felt bad at Hiccup's luck of having to try out his own catapult.

After the laughter died down, Hiccup made an announcement. "Time for the gifts, I made something for each of you when I had the time in the forge. Please note that I am still learning, so it may not be the best it can be." Hiccup cautioned as he reached down to pull the satchel onto his lap.

"Gifts? Hiccup you didn't need to. We…" Elsa started before her sister interrupted her "Elsa, don't talk him out of giving us free gifts, I would really like a gift since my birthday is so far away." Anna replied with a giddy voice, really wanting to know what she had gotten.

"Well, since you really want to know, I will start with you." Hiccup said as he reached into his satchel and pulled out a folded light green and brown dress. It had a brown bodice with a connecting light green skirt that went down to the ankles. In the center it had a flowers design and the sleeves went down to the wrists. "You know how to sew Hiccup?" Anna asked in amazement looking the dress over.

"Yes, it's kind of a requirement for leather craft, Elsa knows this. This brings me to Elsa's gift." Hiccup announced in a prompt voice as if he was showing off goods to sell at a market.

He pulled out a pair of light green gloves and handed them to Elsa. She smiled while accepting them, unnoticed was the two pairs of eyes watching them closely. Agdar and Idun watched intently wondering if Elsa had told Hiccup about her powers.

"They are beautiful Hiccup what did you make them with?" Elsa asked while looking them over, trying to feel the materials, through her winter gloves.

"Well, these are made for the summer in that they are made out of velvet, lined with silk which is cool in the summer and the ends have some full grain leather to add durability when putting them on." Hiccup said while pointing to each area of the glove, they even had some dark green royal looking markings on them.

She grasped the gloves in her hands and laid them on her lap. "Thank you so much Hiccup, I will wear them extensively in the coming months." She said then gave him a warm smile to which he looked away and blushed.

"Now moving on to your gift your majesties." Hiccup said while pulling out a pair of black loafers and handed them to Elsa to give to the King.

"The leather is made from red deer; the wood is durable and the inside is double soled for the ability to walk around longer in them without having your feet ache. I made sure that if one of the stitches comes undone they all won't come undone." Hiccup stated while the King inspected the well-crafted shoe.

"Amazing work Mr. Hiccup, this must have taken you weeks to do." The King said in astonishment, amazed at the level of commitment they must have demanded from the young man.

Hiccup shook his head. "No. Not really, just a few days, there isn't must to do on an island other than work and learn." Hiccup admitted with a scratch to the back of his head. Pulling out one last gift which turned out to be another pair of leather shoes this time for the queen.

"My Queen, a pair of leather skimmers for you, used of the same material as your husbands but the bottom is reinforced with more leather for the arch."

"Thank you, Mr. Hiccup they are a thoughtful gift." I dun replied as he felt the material in her hands then put the skimmers on the table in front of her.

Hiccup smiled at being thanked, "I hope they fit, I had to guess the sizes of your feet. If they don't fit tell me and I will try again" Hiccup added as a reminder.

Agdar raised his goblet in a toast, soon everyone raised their glasses in acknowledgement. "To Hiccup. May he always be a kind, caring and wonderful man."

"Hear, hear." They all replied and nodded their heads toward Hiccup, who looked as if he was about to tear up at the amount of kindness he was receiving.

Hiccup raised his goblet and said thank you to everyone for the warm welcome.

They all nodded then Agdar and Idun rose, and then slowly everyone else got up. "I and the Queen will be in our chambers reviewing plans for an addition to the harbor. Thank you for the gifts again, Mr. Hiccup. My Lady?" He asked while offering his arm, she took ahold of it with her arm and the pair exited the room.

Hiccup smiled at being so warmly welcomed and thanked so much, "I wish I could live here year round. If I did any stuff for my dad, he would barely let out a thank you." Hiccup thought grimly

"Well, I'm going to try on my new dress" Anna proclaimed to the two remaining occupants before marching over to Hiccup and looking up at him and made a gesture as if asking him to bend down. As soon as he bent down, Anna pressed her lips to his cheek for a whole two seconds. This not only surprised Hiccup but Elsa as well, who could only look on with a shocked face as her sister kissed the boy she liked right in front of her. Elsa knew Anna didn't have feelings for him but was probably expressing how she felt about the gift in that she loved it.

"How dare she kiss him before and right in front of me, he is mine. Whoa, wait a minute he isn't mine. Calm down Elsa. Remember conceal, don't feel, don't let it show" Elsa thought as the ice that had extended from her shoes slowly rescinded. Hiccup was too consumed by the kiss from Anna to notice the slightest change in the temperature of the room.

As Anna pulled back from the kiss she smiled and skipped off to her room to try the dress on. Hiccup bent back up and turned around with a blush coming to his face, "Hmm, I did not expect that" he said to Elsa before he realized she was frowning at him. "What's wrong, Elsa?"

She said nothing for a moment before grabbing his tunic and pulling him to her and kissing him on the cheek that had been left untouched. For nearly three seconds Hiccup forgot how to breathe and his mind was a total blank slate. After the third second Elsa pulled back and released Hiccup before giving him a kind smile, "thank you for the gloves Hiccup, I will now retire to my room for the rest of the evening. Remember we start our tutoring session at eight o'clock in the morning so get some sleep." Elsa said before grasping the gloves and then making her exit out of the dining chamber.

Hiccup dropped back down into his seat and slowly brought his hands up to his cheeks and touched them both, "mercy, I should make Elsa gifts more often. Does she like me or something? She frowns when Anna is affectionate to me and usually does something to show that she is present." Hiccup thought for a moment before putting his hands down and getting up from his chair and making his way over to the door. As he opened the door, he stopped and looked back thinking of all the recent laughter and affection. He grew envious of both Elsa and Anna for being able to live in such a beautiful and happy dwelling. "I wish I could stay here forever" Hiccup said to himself before walking to his bedroom and going to bed early, sleepy from all that had happened in one beautiful day.


Post chapter Author's Notes: Now you must be wondering or are confused at that I had Anna and Elsa in the same room together. I am trying to be as realistic as possible in this fictional story; interesting I know. Now I believe there is no way, that two people who live together in the same building could not see each other for thirteen years, whether it be a meet up in the hallway or a room. Elsa has to come out of her room, she would go mad if she stayed in one room for that long. She needs to go into the courtyard or the library. At this point in time, Elsa is fifteen and Hiccup is fourteen, he has not been informed of the contract or Elsa's powers, he does not know why the two sisters have split up. He respects their privacy too much, bless his heart. Until Elsa tells Hiccup about her powers, she tries to make it seem like her family is happy, thus the dining room scene. I also believe if Anna was told by her parents to behave and not to say anything, she would listen. Back in the 1830's, royal children were very disciplined and knew to follow their parents wishes to the letter. Believe what you want, but it only gets better from here. Thank you for your time, leave a review if you can and have a nice day.
