That Look (Hiccup x Reader)

25

"Faster! Faster!"

Hiccup and I were racing our Night Fury's from Gothi's hut, around the sea stacks and to the arena. Now I was totally winning, for like two seconds, then Hiccup took the lead through the stacks and Spike and I were a length behind.

"Come on!" I yelled and with a small burst of speed we were neck and neck.

The arena came into view and both Night Fury's made a steep dive. I was so focused on not losing to Hiccup for the fifty millionth time; I was extremely startled when a black wing slapped me and my dragon in the face. We jumped in surprise and that led us hurtling out of control, towards the ocean. At the last moment, we gained control and watched as Toothless swiftly dove through the arenas entrance.

"That slimy, scummy, sone of a- is that a girl?" I gasped as I looked at forest receding by the beach.

"Two plasma blasts." I said to Spike, who fired and we quickly dove down.

I jumped off my dragon when we hit the ground and ran over to the limp body. Sure enough, it was a girl my age with long black hair. I hooked my arms under hers and dragged her up on the grass.

"(Y/n), what's wrong?-Oh, Thor!" Astrid jumped off of Stormfly and helped me set the girl back down.

"Spike, Screaming Death and the five fireballs!" He did as told and soon all the others were on the ground next to us. "She's breathing," I told them.

She suddenly started coughing and tried to sit.

"Hey, hey, hey! Be careful!" Hiccup said worryingly.

"Where- where am I?!" She then noticed al the dragons and started panicking.

"Berk; don't worry these are our dragons." I explained, resting a hand on her shoulder and pet Toothless's scaly head beside me.

"I'm Hiccup, this is Toothless. These are my friends, (y/n), Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruff-nut and Tuff-nut and their dragons." Hiccup introduced us and the girl seemed to calm down a bit.

"I-I'm Heather." She said.

"Let's get her to the village and ask Stoick." I said as I helped her stand. "Now, 'ho should she ride with?" I asked and as soon as I said that; Heather saw my dragon and jumped back in fear.

"Toothless and I, It is." Hiccup said and mounted his dragon before offering her a hand. She got on the saddle behind him and clung on for dear life, even though we weren't flying. "Slowly, bud." Hiccup said and they were off.

My stomach twinged a bit, but I brushed it off and climbed on Spike. It was when I noticed that Astrid and I were the last ones, did I notice her suspicious stare.

"I've got a bad feeling about her." She said to me.

I sighed. "Her clothes aren't torn and she didn't cough up any water." I began, "Even so, we can't just leave her here."

We gave each other a nervous look, before flying back up.

"What took you guys so long?" Hiccup asked as we met him in the great hall.

"We were just looking for clues or evidence of how she might have gotten here." Astrid lied quickly.

"And?" He questioned.

"Nothing," I chimed and we walked back to where Heather was.

So, it's been like three days. Heather is staying with Hiccup, and not just living with him. No, no, I mean she clings on to him 24-7.
