That Look (Hiccup x Reader)

80: Back On The Edge

"Best idea ever!!!" I cheered and held onto the reins attached to the Seashocker as we sped/surfed around the pillars surrounding what I now called Death Island. Creative, I know.

"All right, Nessie. Get ready!" I yelled to the Tideglider and got ready to jump. She roared and stuck her tail out, once close enough, I jumped off Shoc & Ker and onto the tail which hurled me high in the air. "Woohooooo!!!"

The amazing moment was stopped short as I realized I was hovering in the air with big red talons around me. It got even worse as I noticed Hiccup dangling from the talon next to me.

"You look awful," I said bluntly; half forgetting I was mad at him.

"Skrill..."

"Yup, that would do it."

"Yup, that's one heck of a burn you've got there." I muttered and leaned his metal foot on my boat-bed. "Spike, grab a bowl and get some of Nessie's, Buffy's and your saliva." Spike scoffed at Hiccup but slithered off anyway. "So, how are things back at the Edge?"

Hiccup and stared at each other for a while before he sighed and actually said something. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah, I know." I shrugged and felt his forehead. "You're gonna have a bit of a fever, Thunder is more powerful than other Skrills."

"No, I shouldn't have said what I did." He said and sat up. "It was stupid and it wasn't true-"

"I'm aware," I nodded. "Let me fix you up first, then you can do your grand apology. Besides, I'll get my revenge. Treating burns can be pretty painful."

"Why hide here, though? It's so..."

"Dead? Yeah, I needed a place as broken as I felt." I admitted and grabbed the bowl Spike had just dropped off. "It's not all bad here though. You've met one of the dragons I've befriended here. Plus, I get to live inside this cool skull."

"With your Screaming Death." Hiccup added.

"Yes, that's a bonus. Did you see how big he is?" I asked as a distraction as I poured the saliva's on his stump and he started screaming. "That felt good."

"What-what was that!" He hissed as I smirked.

"Buffalord, Tideglider and Screaming Death saliva. The Buffalord and Tideglider saliva have healing properties and Screaming Death saliva, as I've learned, is acidic but in small portions can be used as a disinfectant." I explained. "Spike may have gone a little heavy on the acid."

"Yea, I can feel that." Hiccup panted and I just laughed.

"I'd say sorry, but I'm not. I'll clean this up then you can tell me what happened to that dragon egg."

* * *

"Hah! You almost died and had to go with Meatlug!" I laughed, not trying to control how hilarious I found it. "Ahh, good thing you got the egg there though."

"Yeah, definitely not one of my better moments..." He sighed.

"And you haven't had any of those in a while." I snickered.

Hiccup looked down sadly and didn't respond. I did want to cause him some pain but seeing him emotionally hurt, hurt me too.

"Alright," I said and stood up. "I have something to show you. I'll go get Spike. And you can't tell ANYONE; not even the other riders."

"What did you do?" He asked, now suspicious.

"I have no idea, it just kinda happened."
