Mericcup week
DAY 6 - "I have never known anyone who actually believed that I was enough. Until I met you." (Love & Other Drugs)
Hiccup was taking a breather outside. He needed time to clear his head since the news he got wasn't going to make his day any better. Hiccup just found out his father died from cancer and his girlfriend call off the relationship. He was walking across a bridge and stopped to the rail to put his arms on his. He let a big sigh out of his mouth and looked down at his feet.
He let his hands brush through his hair and closed his eyes to let his thoughts run through his mind. He couldn't tell what would happen to his life now. With his dad gone now he would have to help his mother do preparations for his funeral. He felt something move in his pocket, he reached into his pocket and pull out his phone.
He looked at the caller ID and saw it was his best friend Jack Frost. He looked at the text message that he sent. "He man, sorry for not answering earlier, I can talk now." The text read. Hiccup put his phone back into his pocket and sighed. He wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at the moment.
A sound of crying was behind Hiccup. He turned around and saw a woman with many curls that looked crazy. Her hair was an orange color and she was standing on the edge of the sides of the bridge.
"H-hey Miss!" He called out.
For no reason he couldn't help but wanted to calm the woman down from killing herself. The woman looked behind her and looked at Hiccup. She showed her tearful face and looked back down at her feet.
"Ie- Ie jump!" She answered.
Hiccup eased his way towards her.
"Look miss, I don't know what your going through. But doing what you think is going to help yourself is not." He tried to assure her.
"H-how ye know that?" She asked.
"I had the same idea as you did before." Hiccup spoke.
"Y-ye did?" She asked. The woman looked towards Hiccup
"Yea I did. And I could of leave this world but I gave myself a second chance." Hiccup spoke.
He was to the point where he could pull at the woman's arm and prevent her from suicided. She was still looking at Hiccup and then looked back at her feet.
"I ended up having a better life and had friends that was there for me." He spoke. "W-what's your name?" He wanted to ask.
"M-... Merida..." She stuttered.
"Well Merida. Life can become better, you just need to give yourself a second chance. You have so much to live for. I believe in you." He spoke.
There was a long pause between her and Hiccup. This made Hiccup more and more nervous since he was with a person he didn't even know. And was trying to convince them not to kill themselves. Merida sighed as she looked to Hiccup and slowly and carefully let herself down.
"W-Whut is ye name?" Merida asked.
"Hiccup."
"Hiccup?"
"Ye I know, really great name."
"Nu nu. I like eit." She spoke.
"You do?" He asked.
"Ye, kind of unique." She spoke.
Hiccup was trying to decide weather if he should ask if she was going to be okay or not.
"Uh, Merida. Are you going to be alright?" He asked.
"Ye... I guess, since you were here." She spoke.
"Do you have anyone you can call? Some place to stay?" He questioned.
"Ie uh... Don't have a place to stay."
He paused for a moment and took off his jacket. He than draped it over Merida's shoulders.
"You can stay at mine for the night."
They got back to Hiccup's apartment at night.
"You need anything? Something to eat? Drink?" He asked.
"Nu thank you." She spoke.
He hanged his jacket up and let Merida sit down on the couch.
"I'll be right back." He spoke and left the room.
Merida didn't know what to think. She looked around the apartment and saw pictures of Hiccup with a blond girl. She looked around and heard a bell sound coming closer to her. She saw a black cat that was limping. She couldn't help it but want to get close to the cat.
"Ei, are ye alright?" She asked.
The cat meowed at her and rubbed it's body against her. She saw what was wrong with the cat. Part of it's left leg was missing.
"Hey Toothless!"
Merida looked up and saw Hiccup smiling.
"He usually like visitors that come to my house." He spoke.
"He's missing a leg."
"I found him like that in the road." Hiccup spoke softly
Merida started to pet Toothless under his chin. She could tell he was purring because she was rubbing under his chin.
"Ye lucky to have Hiccup." She spoke.
Hiccup laughed awkwardly at her commment.
"Thank ye."
"W-what?" He stopped.
"Thank ye. For stopping mei." She answered.
"Oh uh, it was fine." He spoke.
"Nu really Hiccup thank ye." She smiled.
"Hey if you need to talk to someone, you can talk to me." he smiled back.
After weeks passed Merida was able to get back her life. She was getting things through. Plus she and Hiccup were getting close. One day Hiccup asked her out and she gladly said yes.
"I have never known anyone who actually believed that I was enough. Until I met you." Merida smiled as she kissed Hiccup.
