Sigrid (hiccup x reader)

chapter 31

"There! It's viggo's base!" Snotlout pointed to an island with viggo's men and lights and tents. Bingo. We flew into the woods as the dragons landed softly on the ground. 

"Viggo must be in his little tent," I look at hiccup as he nods. "Could you guys make sure no one sees me?" I jump off of deadeye and land on the ground softly. "I don't want to attract any unwanted attention." Hiccup and snotlout both jump off of their dragons and nod. For one of the first times, snotlout looks serious and looks like he could handle all of this by himself. I looked at snotlout for a bit, surprised at his look as I looked back at hiccup. I was proud of snotlout, he was way more mature than he used to be. Much more mature. Hiccup furrows his eyebrows at me as I nod. 

"We'll make sure no one sees you, asta." He nods. But there is a bit of worry in his face. His eyes soften when he looks at me and he walks up at me as I look up at him. "Just please promise me that you won't get into any trouble. And you won't cause any trouble that will attract any attention to you or make anyone doubt if you're from there or not. You got that?" He crosses his arms over his chest and narrows his eyes at me. For a second, I thought that hiccup could care about me more than anything in the world, the next second, it's gone. 

"Yeah, i'll try my best." I nodded as he sighed softly and nodded. "Let's go down." All of the dragons slowly dive down to the base as we land on a softer spot of the forest next to the base. There's grass all around us and trees around us, but we were able to find a place to slip into the forest before the trees covered the whole area. We all jumped down and planted our feet onto the ground with a quiet thump. Deadeye softly purrs as I pet her and walk over to the others. 

"I think I saw a volcano when we dived down," Snotlout furrowed his eyebrows. He looked concerned for a few seconds. "You think it's going to you know- like.." he made a gesture that showed a volcano corrupting and sounds that sounded like lava jumping. 

"You think its going to.. corrupt?" Hiccup raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. 

"Yeah, I forgot what it was called for a second." He shrugged. "Ignore it! People forget things like that every day." He scoffed. 

"Okay..." I trailed off unimpressed. "If a volcano can corrupt, we should hurry up. We don't have enough time and if the volcano does corrupt, our plan will be ruined. Are you sure the volcano could corrupt?"  

"I am not stupid, asta." He crossed his arms over his chest as I rolled my eyes again. 

"I'm just making sure, snotlout. I mean... we should never lie to ourselves if you're going to say you're not stupid." I shrugged as hiccup laughed. Snotlout furrowed his eyebrows and frowned. 

"Shut up, asta!" Snotlout scoffed annoyed. I smirked at snotlout as he rolled his eyes. "I am sure. It's most likely going to corrupt." 

"Okay, if it will corrupt, we have to hurry up." I nodded slowly. "Snotlout could you go to the volcano and make sure to tell us when it's possible it will corrupt?" 

"You want me to go up to a lava and gas spewing mountain killer?" Snotlout says dramatically. "Seriously?!"

"Yeah," Hiccup nodded again. "When you say it like that it makes it seem worse." Hiccup narrowed his eyes at snotlout who huffed quietly. 

"Because it is! I don't know how you can expect me to go up to that hill that will most likely burn me to my death." 

"It's not going to burn you to your death. But alright," I sighed dramatically. "If you can't do it, i'll have to ask gustav to do it for you. Since you're such a chicken!" I smirked as snotlout's eyes widened, his jaw dropping slightly. 

"I am not a chicken! But of course I'll do it." Snotlout crossed his arms over his chest. "No need to call for the idiot newbie. I bet he's busy counting sand somewhere else. What an idiot."
