That Look (Hiccup x Reader)

87: Something Rotten On Berserker Island

"'The Berserkers cordially invite you to be their honoured guests at the inaugural Berserker Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony." Fishlegs reread the scroll for perhaps the millionth time as we flew towards Beserker Island. "Guys, Berserker Island. I'm so excited to see where Heather comes from."

"Yeah, gotta check out the floor plan before you move in together." I smirked.

Fishlegs was about the clap back but Hiccup interrupted him.

"And Dagur. You know, they say you can learn a lot about people by tracing their place of origin."

"Legend has it the old Nut family tree originated with the wild albino snow monkeys of the Northern Territories." Tuff told us and I genuinely believed him.

"Look, guys. I'm a monkey." Ruff said and made a monkey pose.

"Case in point." Astrid rolled her eyes.

"Meeting adjourned." I declared.

"I'm just excited for the party." Ruff ignored us. "Nothing like a good graduation celebration. I've crashed my fair share."

"You dragged us out of bed for this?" Snotlout asked in disbelief.

"You're just mad because Dagur doesn't like you." Fishlegs chided.

"He likes me, Fishface." Snotlout growled defensively.

"Yeah, Fishlegs." I nodded.

"Thank you, (Y/n)."

"You can't dislike someone you don't know is alive." Astrid finished and we laughed.

"Shut up." Snotlout scoffed and started pouting.

"Now, guys, this is the first time we've been asked to Berserker Island." Hiccup began.

"So?" Snotlout questioned

"So, no matter how weird or Berserky it gets, just try to stay calm." He explained.

"Can be worse than Berk or Dragon's Edge. Berk literally has a guy named bucket who predicts the weather and the Edge has, well, us." I pointed out.

"Why would anyone stay calm on Berserker Island? Doesn't make any sense." Tuff said, offering a fair point.

"Welcome to Berserker Island, where dreams become realities." A Beserker soldier welcomed us. "Name?"

"Haddock, H-Hiccup." Hiccup stuttered which was unsurprising but still cute.

"(L/n), (Y/n)." I stated.

"And Hofferson, Astrid." Astrid said.

"Uh, we're here for the ceremony." Hiccup told the guard.

"Did not ask you that. Next?"

"Ingerman, Fishlegs."

"Move. Move." Snotlout said and pushed himself past Fishlegs. "Jorgenson, Snotlout Gary."

"Gary?" I repeated in surprise. "Actually, you know what? That's pretty believable."

Snotlout tried to get past the guard but was stopped. "Hold it. Not on the list.'

"Ha." I giggled and earned a glare from the non-lister.

"What?!"

"Oh, no, it has to be on the list." Hiccup told the guard. "Can you look again?"

"Only Jorgenson I see is a Snothat." He replied and Astrid and I lost it laughing.

"That's not my name!" Snotlout yelled.
