How To Mend A Broken Heart 2

Chapter 35

The next morning when you woke up, you saw that Hiccup was still asleep. After the meeting, he spent the rest of the day scrubbing off the paint, not leaving a speck of color on his armor. You had to get rid of the wool sweater and leggings, which you were sad about since it was one of your favorites.

As you stood up from the bed, walking towards the desk to grab your armor, you saw Hiccup's armor. A smile grew on your lips as you grabbed his armor instead, walking quickly out of the room.

~~~~~

You were walking towards the docks. Midnight beside you as people either greeted you respectfully, or weirdly. You got confused stares as you strutted down to the docks.

"I can't believe you're doing this." Midnight rumbled, scanning her surroundings.

"Of course I am. It's payback time." You grinned.

You were wearing Hiccup's armor, and also his helmet. The helmet covered your face, but you had your hair pulled in a side braid. Midnight's fin was also painted red, just like Toothless' tail. As you saw the gang standing near the docks, you swung your arms slightly as you walked towards them.

"Hey, Hiccup!" Astrid greeted as you stood in front of the gang. "Have you seen- wait...[Name]?"

"What? No, I'm the Chief!" You mimicked Hiccup's voice, pointing to yourself. The gang erupted into laughter, as you smiled. "Say, bud. Why don't we go out and explore? Maybe we'll discover new species of dragons!"

The twins were laughing hard, they were on the ground clutching their stomachs.

"I'm the Chief of Berk!" You pounded your chest a bit. "No one messes with me, no one."

"Where's your girlfriend, Hiccup?" Snotlout asked, playing along.

"Ah, she's sleeping. I'll tell you, she's the women of my dreams." You chuckled.

"Hey, lad. I have the- wait a minute, you're not Hiccup." Gobber stated, realizing that it was you.

"Of course I'm Hiccup." You confirmed with a smile that was hidden behind the helmet.

Eret laughed as he pointed behind you. When you turned around, you saw Hiccup glaring at with his arms crossed, tapping his foot.

"I cannot believe you." Toothless snorted in amusement.

"It was my revenge" You shrugged sheepishly, as you walked towards Hiccup. "Did my plan work?"

"Yes." He glared.

"Do you regret your actions?"

"Very much."

"Mission accomplished!" You clapped your hands, still hearing the gang laughing.

"We're going home. I want my armor back." Hiccup stated.

"Okay, come on, bud. Lets go." You told Midnight, mounting her before she flew off.

"I say she did a spot on impression." Toothless crooned as Hiccup rolled his eyes.

~~~~~

Later that evening, you couldn't find Hiccup anywhere, so you went to the forge to ask Gobber.

"Hey, Gobber. Have you seen Hiccup?" You asked, walking up to Gobber who was leaning out the shutters.

"I have, he's in the back sharping a sword for me." Gobber replied.

"Okay, thank you." You smiled, heading into the forge.

"Anytime lass!"

As you made your way into the back, you noticed that it was quite hot. "Hey, stable boy. I was-"

You got cut off as you walked in, seeing Hiccup inspecting a sword. It wasn't that though, it was because he was shirtless! Your eyes trailed up and down his body, throat suddenly going dry as the image of him was burned into your memory.

"Like what you see?" Hiccup smirked, giving you a sideways glance.

"No." You replied, crossing your arms.

"You sure about that?" He asked, continuing to inspect the sword.

Your mind shouted no. "Yes, I'm sure. I was just gonna tell you to come home."

He nodded as he placed the sword down, before walking over towards you.

Don't stare, don't stare, don't stare, dammit! You thought, quickly glancing at his body before looking into his eyes.

"I saw that." He smiled, reaching besides you to grab his shirt.

"You're just imagining things, Haddock." You stated as he slipped his shirt on.

"Was I?" He asked teasingly.

"Yes, yes you were." You nodded, quickly walking out to get fresh air. Damn him!
