A/N: Finally, I wrote down HiccupHaddockLover's request. I was really bummed out when I miswrote chapter 8 from a different request. So here it is. Enjoy reading it. I post the two chapter simultaneously fast since the previous one was supposed to be posted earlier today, but I fell asleep around noon and woke up in the evening (yeah, talk about embarrassment). So enjoy this one as well as the other one.

It's not pretty long (it's called a oneshot anyway) since this story takes place in HTTYD2, the scene after they've defeated the Bewilderbeast and all the dragons bowed down to Toothless. Yeah, you get the idea. But it's still pretty nice to write a jealous Hiccup (not that I don't like it). Okay, no more of me chattering about. Go on, Read and Review!


Summary: Astrid is the flower of the village, everybody knows that. But even the mighty dragon trapper, Eret son of Eret, could fall for her.

Taken

Cheers of glory erupted in the village plaza. Hiccup and Toothless have defeated the enormous Bewilderbeast. All the dragons bowed before Toothless as he coronate himself alpha. The riders returned with their own dragons as the overwhelming beast retreated to the vast sea. The village survived the attack even if some houses was damaged by the Bewilderbeast's ice breath. No deaths occurred except for the late former chief, Stoick the Vast. Everybody felt sad for Hiccup but his mother cheered everybody up as the village had just won against an evil and merciless enemy.

"Stormfly!" Astrid exclaimed out of joy as the dragon launched herself at the rider. She hugged her trustworthy dragon in delight as she was freed from the Bewilderbeast's control.

"Meatlug!"

"Hookfang!"

Fishlegs and Snolout ran excitedly to their dragon, passing the expecting Ruffnut without a glance. Both the Gronkcle and Monsterous Nightmare was glad to return to their rider. They purred as the two scratched and petted them. She frowned and sighed. Barf nudged her to lighten up.

"Barf!" She hugged the head that's ridden by her. "Not you!" She pushed the other half away and Tuffnut hugged it while glaring at his twin sister.

Hiccup and Toothless were also reuniting again until Eret came to them.

"That was some fine dragon wrangling out there. You'll make a great trapper" He smiled, clasping his hands in front of him. Skullcrusher nuzzled him and he stared at him surprisingly.

"You know, Skullcrusher here, needs someone to look after him" Hiccup smiled as the older man looked at him in shock.

"Me?" Eret asked while Hiccup just shrugged.

"It would be my honor" He returned the smile and walked away. Hiccup got dragged by his mother while Eret made his way to a certain person.

"Hey" He greeted.

"Hey" The person replied nicely.

"You're Astrid right?" He asked nervously.

"I am" Astrid answered with a smile.

"Well, I'm sorry for capturing your dragon earlier, and for bringing you to Drago" He apologized timidly.

"It's okay. Everything's over now. There's nothing to worry anymore" She turned around to scratch her dragon. Eret hesitated and spoke in an uncertain manner.

"Listen, I want to ask you-" Eret admitted before she cut him in the middle of the sentence.

"Don't bother Eret. I don't want to be rude, but, I'm already owned by someone" She smiled comfortingly at him. He gazed at the ground by her response.

"I know. I'm an idiot to thought you're still free. It's just, you know, it's not every day you meet a beautiful woman that rides dragon and fights like a warrior" He sighed in defeat.

"I'm sorry, really. But I can't do that. Even if we exist in a different world, I will still be his. And I don't want it to be any other way" She patted Eret's shoulder.

"So I guess that's an ultimate 'no' for me, huh?" He smiled glumly.

"There are plenty of fish in the sea. Same for dragons in the sky. I'm sure you'll meet someone that matches for you"

"You've really taken a liking on him" He looked at her face who are also uncomfortable yet unsatisfied by the topic.

"He's special. He's not your typical everyday Viking. You can't find another person like him in this world" She smiled before stepping back and walked away from Eret.


Hiccup watched the whole scene unfold in front of him. He doesn't know for sure what they talked about but he didn't like the attitude Astrid's giving that guy. He observed as she walked towards him with happiness radiating from her body. Her eyes sparkled with volatility. She stopped right before him.

"See? I told you it was in here?" Astrid said while standing in front of him. She touched his chest and pushed the knob of his leather wings. It opened briefly and Hiccup jumped back.

"Hahaha… Still doing that one. So hilarious" He replied sarcastically. "Come here you" He swiftly grabbed her waist and kissed her.

"Oh!" Gobber gasped and covered a child's eyes.

The whole village crowded to see the future chief and chieftainess in a passionate kiss while Hiccup's long lost mother smiled at the sight. All of them was glad that peace has finally come upon them and the couple. The kiss continued for a couple of minutes until she parted first and spoke to him.

"Is something wrong Hiccup?" She asked in a playful tone but also concern.

"I'm sorry. I was sort of… Jealous, when you talked and smiled at Eret just now" He whispered lowly.

"Oh Hiccup. You know that I love you right?" She sighed softly. They both smiled and looked into each other's eyes.

"I know. It was stupid of me. I was just upset that you gave him a smile. It's not a wrong thing to do, but I just felt-"

"I understand, and I'm relieved also to know that my boyfriend is jealous when I'm with another guy" She smirked while he smiled gingerly. He suddenly released his grip on her to turn around after being nudged by the elder Gothi. He knelt to let the older woman paint the chief mark on his head. Astrid looked around to find Eret. They made eye contact while Eret smiled at her.

I guess I lost entirely. How could I ever try to compete with him, who already been claimed by herself. He had clearly earned her heart without a doubt. Eret thought gladly and a warm smile was plastered on his face. He's happy, that the boy he had lost to, is truly remarkable.

Hiccup stood up and Gobber held his hand to the air. "The chief, has come home!" He declared as the peoples cheered in happiness. The dragons roared and blasted fire into the blue sky. The village has a new chief. They clapped for the freshly new chief while mourning the former at the same time. But they didn't became somber, since the new one had just brought an overwhelming promise to Berk. That they will maintain peace and never back down from a fight. Everyone was happy, including Eret who had been rejected crudely yet nicely instead of harsh.

Eret doesn't need any further proof. The kiss that was unfold in front of the whole village just proven it. That she's already taken.


A/N: Too short? Not too good? Tell me in the reviews (although I wish your complements would be a nice one instead of criticism). The next chapter will be from Blue - The First Traveller's request. I promise this time I'll get it right. It was really embarrassing you know. Okay, and I'm also working on a chapter from marsrose516's PM request. I wont tell you the detail but just get ready for it when it comes. Always be up to date and keep reading!
