Hiccup x Reader (Race To The Edge)

Some Fall Down and Don't Get Up (Ep: Snow Way Out)

"Now!?" Snotlout said impatiently. You rolled your eyes.

"They aren't close enough! Remember, this is a test to see if the Gronkle iron armor works, not a game called 'How good can we nail Hiccup and Toothless'."

"That sounds like a fun game though! Can we play after this!? I call first shot!" Tuff said quickly.

"No, I call first shot!" Ruff argued.

"Who came up with the idea?" Tuff asked her.

"Actually, (Y/n) did, but I don't think-" Fishlegs was interrupted.

"Oh, right. I call second shot! After you, (Y/n)." You groaned while Fishlegs sighed at their antics. You spotted Hiccup and Toothless coming in fast and low.

"Focus! Here they come!" Everyone got ready. "FIRE THE NET!" Arrow launched a net, but they dodged it. "Hooks!" You shouted. You could see that the two wavered a little, but you knew the drill. "Arrows!" You saw the two pull up to dodge them, but the armor fell off yet again and an arrow hit Toothless in the chest, marking the shot with orange ink.

"Snotlout, Snotlout, oi, oi, oi!" Snotlout cheered as he was the one who fired the arrow.

"Nice shot, Snotlout." Hiccup said, not exactly happy that they were hit. Then, another arrow was fired and hit Hiccup in the chest. "Really!?" Toothless fired back as he laughed and then he stopped.

Later after you all had cleaned up, Fishlegs went up to Hiccup. You knew he was upset that it didn't work again. He'd been trying hard to get it right for a while now.

"I really thought we had it this time."

"Hey, this batch of Gronkle Iron armor lasted longer than the last one." Hiccup encouraged.

"I'm sure we're getting closer, Fishlegs." You agreed.

"Yes, but it wasn't long enough. Unless you wanted Hiccup to get shot down!" Tuff said as the three goons came over.

"Interesting hypothesis, brother." Ruff agreed.

"Why are you trying to kill Hiccup!?" Tuff shouted.

"I'm not trying to kill Hiccup." Fish replied.

"That's exactly what somebody trying to kill Hiccup would say," Tuff said as the twins surrounded him.

"We're keeping our eye on you, mister."

"Yeah, our good eye." You rolled your eyes at the two as Nightshade came over. She ducked her head underneath you and you yelped before laughing.

"Okay, okay! I know we missed it today, but we'll get our run in tomorrow girl. I promise. Unless...anybody else is up for a late-night outing with me and Nightshade."

"I'd be up for it, but it's been a long day. I think all of us should get some rest." Hiccup said.

"I wouldn't head in yet, guys." You all turned.

"Arrow! You're back from Berk already?" Hiccup asked.

"Never made it there. I ran into Trader Johann along the way and he had some interesting news. Hiccup, we need to talk." Realizing it was serious, you all headed inside to hear what he had to say. "Johann flagged me down on the way to Berk to tell me that he'd seen Ryker, Heather and the Dragon Hunters in the Northern Markets buying all the cold weather gear they could get their hands on."

"Why would you buy winter gear in the summer?" Snotlout asked.

"Hello! That's when you get the best prices." Ruff said.

"Ruff is an excellent shopper." Tuff agreed.

"Uhuh," She said proudly.

"She actually got both our outfits, two for the price of one."
