That Look (Hiccup x Reader)

85: Living On The Edge

"Spike, I need some more saliva. Stormshadow, can you heat up some more boulders and put them around him? Nessie, I need your saliva too. Speedy, I need you to sting him here, here and here." I ordered the dragons and the Shellfire whined as he was stung in the back. "I'm sorry, Sheldon. Just give it a few minutes." I cooed and pet his head.

"All this from that metal compartment on his back?" Hiccup asked while appearing with Toothless.

"Yeah, well the metal probably wasn't cleaned and one cut is all it takes for this kind of infection. The dragon hunters probably never took that thing off his back so who knows what else we'll find." I explained.

"And Shattermaster?"

"He'll survive but he won't be able to fight anymore, or even fly for long periods of time." I sighed and jumped off Sheldon to pet Toothless. "That boulder caused a lot of trauma to the wings. Any time he overexerts himself it will be extremely painful and bad for his heart. I'm thinking maybe he can parent the Jr. Tuffnut's on Berk. I just feel like staying with Dagur would just make him sad. Anyway, what brings you here?" I asked.

"Can not spend some quality time with my beautiful girlfriend?" Hiccup smiled and wrapped his arms around me.

I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck. "What do you want?"

"The others keep coming to complain about-"

The volcano made a loud grumble and the island shook a bit.

"That." He finished.

The Shellfire made a sad cry and I ran over to hug his head. "It's okay honey, that wasn't your fault. You don't need to feel guilty about any of this."

"Hey there, big guy." Hiccup said softly and put his hand on the Shellfire.

Suddenly the sun disappeared and my Screaming Death looked down on us.

"And hello, bigger guy." Hiccup greeted nervously as Spike bared his teeth at him. Spike was still a little bitter about the whole incident, Hiccup had a lot to prove if he was going to regain Spike's trust.

"Alright my big albino bodyguard, can you give Sheldon's back a good lick?" I distracted my dragon. "Man, that's a strange thing to say"

"Well, that was awkward." Hiccup said, well, awkwardly.

"At least he didn't try to eat you this time." I replied, trying to find a positive.

"That will be something I see in my nightmares for the rest of my life." He shuddered.

"Well, we could switch dragons? Like when Fishlegs and Heather had to." I suggested. Toothless seemed to like the idea because he pranced over to me and nuzzled my chest. "(Y/n) and Toothless, the unstoppable team!"

"Rrrraaaah!"

Spike slithered back over to us and looked at Hiccup with the 'No way in hell' look.

I was flying on Toothless and Hiccup was flying on Spike.

"Okay, the first thing you need to know about riding a Screaming Death is that when it comes to agility, it's infinite" I explained, hovering next to the two.

"It can't be that different from-" Hiccup was interrupted by Spike looping upside down and then spiralling through his long tail. He then repeated the process and did it all while barrel rolling and rocketing through the sky.

"Well... at least he's still hanging on." I said to Toothless while we watched some extremely impressive aerial acrobatics.

"Rrragggh,"
