Tuffnuts POV. (FIRST PERSON)

This was it. This was the day I actually died. I never thought I'd go like this, standing here beside my sister, covered in face paint, trying to hide from a women who I accidently punched in the face...actually that is how I imagined it apart from it was missing fire, a bore pit and a very suspicious sock.

"Before you chow down Ash, I want to ask this idiot over here a few questions" (Y/N) said, her gaze not leaving my site. It was almost like there was dancing embers in her eyes, ready to spark into an inferno of anger. I take a few steps back until my backside hits a table, my fingernails grip onto the wood tightly. Being a Thorston, nothing really frightens me but if this women's rage was anything like Astrid's then I had a reason to be worried.

I gulped as the women approaches, her facial expression not changing. She stops only a few inches away, just like the last time she threatened me, she defiantly liked to get up closer and personal with her 'victims'. A faint odour of rotten fish and dragons breaths lingered around the women, probably from the freshly covered slime saddle she had been sitting on- I actually didn't mind the smell, and it wasn't the worst thing in the world, have you smelt a Gronckle's farts before? Between that, her swollen cheek and pissed off mood she had a really good rugged Viking look going for her, she suited it. I gave her a small smile hoping I could lighten the mood but her scowl never moved. There was nothing I could do to save my skin and my sister would be no help, she was already finding this situation very hilarious and was more likely to take (Y/N)'s side than mine- not that she was innocent in all of this, it was her fault I was in this mess in the first place, if she'd helped me get those sheep instead of just sitting on her lazy good for nothing butt then I wouldn't be face to face with a blood thirsty dragon rider. After what felt like years, the women's lips finally parted, a harsh voice slipping out of them,

"First of all and I think this is probably the most important part of this whole situation, why the FUCK did you hit me? Was it some kind of fear reaction? Just to punch someone in the face without thinking about it first or did you seriously just knock me out for the hell of it?"

"I thought you were Snotlout, alright?" I wasn't lying.

"A-are you actually serious? Do I seriously look that manly to you!?"

"Well at this current moment in time –" I scoffed but was rudely interrupted by my sister who loudly cleared her throat, her head tilted towards (Y/N)'s dragon that'd started approaching me, it's gaze just as terrifying as its riders. I expected Barf and Belch to defend me but they were too busy enjoying the show with Ruff- like dragon like rider, ay?
"Alright, Alright, I thought I landed on a monstrous nightmare and just thought it was Hookfang, I'm not exactly paying attention to detail as I'm plummeting to the ground, y'know? He'd done this kind of thing to us before so I just suspected it was him- hence the punch to the face." Again, I wasn't lying.

"Huh, unlikely story" She growls through her gritted teeth, grabbing hold of my tunic, bringing our faces closer.
I turn my face away to get away from her death stare. What was I supposed to tell her? It was the truth! People never listen to me, they always think whatever I saw is just utter dragon shit- which isn't true…sometimes.

"I'm seriously telling the truth, come on sis help me out here?" I ask looking over the womens shoulder at my sister who rolled her eyes.
"He's actually telling the truth (Y/N), I know it might sound crazy but sometimes we do actually mean what we say."

I waited for her response, beads of sweat and started running down my face. Her eyes of fire had never left mine the whole time until eventually she darted her gaze away from mine, it was like the fire had been extinguished. Though the frown was still set like stone.
"Okay…so why did you just leave me after it happened? Did you not even try and help me? When I woke up, I was on my dragon's back- so I'm guessing he'd done all the work. Not to mention the sheep I'd caught were gone so I'm guessing you also took them too, aye?" She let of my tunic and folded her arms, shifting all her weight onto one leg as she waited for an answer
. Wow she really didn't think much of me did she? With a quick glance of recurrence at my sister- who shook her head in return I sighed, relaxing my hands and wrapped them around my stomach as I leaned on the table.
"For your information missy, we tried to help you but your dragon wouldn't let me-us near you. So we told him to follow us back to Berk and he did. He must have dropped the sheep when he was rescuing you, I don't know." This was only partly true, I knew exactly where those sheep were but I weren't about to tell her that- not just yet- I wanted there to be a bit of mystery to this story! I watched as the women's face dropped, the frown had finally disappeared and had been replaced with what was either confusion or a severe bad gas-I really hoped it was just confusion.
"So you guys actually helped me?" She whispered, more to herself than to us.
"Yeah, you're welcome." Ruff says feeling somewhat proud of herself- although once again she hardly had anything to do with this but she wasn't miss the opportunity to get praised by someone and nor would I.
"I do believe you owe us a 'thank-you'" I smirk at her, placing my hands on my hips, head held high.
"Y-yeah…yeah you're right Tuff, I do owe you a thank-you" (Y/N) smiled, moving her body closer to mine, like so close we were only a lips touch apart. I could feel her slow deep breaths on my cheeks as her wide (E/C) eyes gazed into mine. What this actually happening right now!? Once minute she was wanting to kill me now she wanted to kiss me!? This women was a whirlwind of emotions. I watched as she started closing her eyes, her head tilting slowly as she went to make her move. This probably wasn't the best time to admit I had no experience in kissing. What should I do, just go with the flow!? Let her kiss me and just let my instincts take over? Or should I go all French on her and sweep her off her feet?! Okay that last one was probably a bit farfetched. Without really thinking I close my eyes to, expecting to feel her what I presumed would be soft lips on mine.
Instead? I get a punch. To the stomach.

Reader POV. (Second person)

You watch as Tuffnut doubles over in pain, his long golden locks dangling in front of his face. You couldn't help but laugh at him though the pain from your cheek cut your laughing short. Even Ashers and Barf and Belch chortled at him. Did he seriously think you were going to kiss? After what he'd done to you, he really wasn't going to get away that easily. You were actually aiming from his groin but you misjudged his height a little when you had your eyes closed-still the results were still just as good.
"Was that enough of a thank-you for you?" you grin at the man.
He lifts up his head, scowling at you, with a slight pet lip.
"Oh man I think you winded him" Ruffnut guffawed at her brother. Although you were mad at Ruffnut too, a smile slips onto your face as you watch her reaction of seeing her brother in pain, she was enjoying this just as much as you were. You'd go so far as to give her a high-five but you stopped yourself- you probably weren't close enough for that just yet.
"Oh and one more thing. Ashers?" You look over at your dragon giving him a nod. He snorts and goes over to a large bucket of fish, scoffing the whole lot down at once. He then made his way over to the winded man looking down at him from his snout. His stomach began to rumble and he began heaving, followed by regurgitated fish falling out his mouth and down on-top of the man who let out a number of swear words, the dragon in return, blew a puff of smoke at him.
"That's for my saddle." You say with a smirk.
"I'm sooooo trying that on Snotlout" said the blonde women through her laughing, she was clutching onto her stomach she'd been laughing so hard. IT was short lived though when a mix of fish and dragon spit was thrown her way by her brother.
"For once I actually agree with Ruff."
You glance over to see a second blonde women standing beside you, it was Astrid along with Stormfly.
"How long have you been here?" You asked her sheepishly-
"Oh since the beginning, I followed you in but when I noticed the twins I decided to stay quiet and see how things played out. I was impressed, though in my opinion I would of hit him a lot harder and a bit lower" The women replies, one hand on her hip.
"Heheh yeah no kidding…"

Wow was that an actual compliment from Astrid? You were quiet shocked, this wasn't something that happened often or at least it wasn't when you were younger. You always found her to be quite intimidating but inspiring and now not to mention beautiful, seeing her made you want to try to be a better and stronger Viking/rider so to get a compliment of her was a pretty big thing, but you decided to play it cool so you didn't exactly look like a dork.

There was a small awkward silence between the three of you for nearly a minute as you watched the male get his breath back. Finally, Astrid spoke up again, looking at you with a smile.

"Oh yes, (Y/N), Hiccup has formally invited you and your family to join us for dinner at the grand hall tonight in celebration of the dragon race today. So please feel free to join us at our table tonight, okay? You are a dragon rider after all"
You return the smile and give her a nod,
"That's very kind of you, thanks "
"Heeeeey how come me and Tuff don't get an invite, huh? Are we not dragon riders too? OR are we not good enough for you now?" Ruffnut huffed folding her arms.
"You are dragon riders. You already eat in the great hall, Ruff." Astrid looks at the girl blankly.
"Still we never get invited to anything, it's so unfair!"
"I… Agree, my dear sister" wheezed Tuffnut from a few feet away, still with one hand clutching his stomach. You look over at the shorter haired women, she looked just as confused as you did-these guys seriously were idiots at times. With a sigh, Astrid hopped onto Stormfly's back.
"Okay I hereby invite you, Ruffnut and Tuffnut to come and dine at the great hall with the Chief and fellow dragon riders"
"yessss" they both said in sync. You give out a giggle and shake your head.
"Alright (Y/N) I'll see later, also I'd go put something cold on that cheek, it looks terrible." The women says before leaving.
She was right, you'd got so wound up on hitting people that you'd forgot about your own injury and you didn't really want to go to the great hall looking like this. You look back over at the twins who were now talking amongst themselves (or more like Ruff was taking the piss out of her brother for getting punched by you.) so you decided to take this opportunity to slip away from them and head back to your Aunties, not before you 'borrowed' a piece of fresh meat that had been left out for a dragon, it wasn't really cold but it would do the job for now. You had a few hours to get yourself and Ashers cleaned up before you'd be eating so it would give yourself and your cheek time to calm down and to just really think about what had happened. It was still all swirling around in your head, even with the questions being answered. It felt like there were more and more popping into your head or maybe it was something else? You sure hoped not.
