HTTYD One-Shots

I Love You And Only You

So this takes place between HTTYD 2 and HTTYD 3. They look like they are in the third film. 

It was a chilly night on Berk. Terrible Terrors were sleeping on the rooftops and the Chief of Berk was heading over to the Great Hall for a sudden meeting. Hiccup pushed open the doors and took a seat.

"So, what's this about?" He asked, eyes scanning the council. 

"We got a terror mail that we need you to address." Valka, Hiccup's mother, told her son. She passed him the folded letter.

Hiccup opened it and started reading.

Chief Hiccup Haddock,

We were informed that you recently became Chief a few months ago due to the death of Stoick The Vast. Anyway since you have become Chief there is a need for you to find a wife and have a heir to the throne. 

So, just as all Chiefs do, there will be a party with all the Chief's or Chieftess's daughters. You will have to pick one to marry. A young woman suitable for you. That will give a heir to the throne.

We will all arrive on Berk tomorrow around noon and will leave once you have a few women to pick from.

Expect us tomorrow then.

Signed,

Fellow Chiefs, Chieftess', Queens, and Kings.

Hiccup looked up from the paper with an eyebrow raised. "They can do that?" 

"Do what? What did it say?" Fishlegs looked at Hiccup with curious eyes. Hiccup read the letter out loud and when he was finished everyone except Gobber was frowning. 

"Well, lad, they can do that. It is required for Chiefs." Gobber picked at his teeth with his hook. "Ye have no choice, Hiccup. Yer mother wasn't from Berk. Yer father had a party and met her." He shrugged and continued to mess with his teeth. 

"We can't like cancel?" Hiccup asked and looked at everyone. The twins looked bored to death, Snotlout had a smirk on his face, Fishlegs just looked shocked, Eret looked confused, Valka had a deep frown, Gobber wasn't paying attention, and Astrid had her eyebrows scrunched up and was in deep thought.

"No, Son. You can't cancel." Valka placed a hand on Hiccup's shoulder. "It's late and there's a party tomorrow. Get some sleep everyone." She walked over to Astrid and whispered something to Astrid that made the young woman nod before Valka walked out of the hall with everyone else.  Hiccup stayed behind and read over the note again.

Astrid walked over to Hiccup and placed her hands on his shoulders before she said, "It will be fine." Though she sounded like she was reassuring herself more than him. Hiccup sighed and set the note on the table. 

"I just don't understand why this needs to happen if I'm not going to pick any of them." He told his betrothed as he stood in front of her. He ran his fingers through her hair and kissed her forehead. He pulled away and grabbed her hand, lacing there fingers together and walking out of the Great Hall.

Astrid laid her head on his shoulder and hummed quietly. "I don't know, Babe." She gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "good night." Then she ran to her hut. Hiccup smiled and made his way to his and his mom's hut. 

"Mom?" He called when he walked into the hut. 

"Living room, Dear." She called back and Hiccup sat next to her on the couch. 

"I'm betrothed." He said and laid his head on her shoulder. 

"Yeah." Valka replied and caress the back of his head soothingly.
