That Look (Hiccup x Reader)

36: Gone Gustav Gone

Hiccup and I were in the Clubhouse at the Edge, trying to find out more about the Dragon Eye.

"Okay, give me a slow burn, bud. Okay, I've seen this before, but what happens if I push..." Hiccup pushed a button. "Cool. Dragon classes. What do you say we check out the Night Fury, bud?"

Toothless groaned.

"Try to contain your excitement, would you?" Hiccup said sarcastically.

Toothless grinned and Hiccup pressed another button.

"Now, Monstrous Nightmare gem plus Night Fury equals... nothing. Okay. Oh! Astrid class." Hiccup chuckled and pressed another button.

"Hiccup, (Y/n), we have a problem, a huge problem." Astrid burst in.

"Dagur?" Hiccup asked.

"Worse," Astrid said.

"What could possibly be worse than Dagur?" I asked.

Some kid burst out from behind Astrid.

"Aah!"

Who the heck was this kid? I didn't even need to ask as he yelled his own name.

"Gustav!"

"Gustav?" I repeated, still confused.

"Gustav?!" Hiccup said in shock.

"Gustav." Astrid groaned.

Why are we all saying, Gustav?!

"Gustav, what are you doing here? I... I mean, to what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?" Hiccup corrected himself.

"Who's she?" Gustav asked and pointed to me.

"(Y/n) (L/n), daughter of Zeus and Athena, Demi-god of the wind and sky." I introduced myself.

"Really?!" He asked in amazement.

"Heh, I wish!" I said and laughed.

Snotlout then ran in.

"Hiccup, did you hear Gustav is... standing right beside you. Perfect." He sighed and the Twins came in.

"You're looking a little different there, Guster," Tuff commented.

"Yeah, I'm growing a beard." He boasted.

Really? I sure didn't see one.

"Really? Let me see. Ha! Even Ruff has more hair on her chinny-chin-chin than that." Tuff laughed.

"Hey, what's that thing?" Gustav asked and snatched the Dragon Eye.

"Oh." Hiccup gasped.

"Oh! Whoa! You see these spots? Some sort of sun sword?" He asked looking into it, then started swinging it around.

"I'll take that. No, Gustav, it's not a sun sword." Hiccup said and snatched it back.

"It's the Dragon Eye, and it's very old and very fragile," Fishlegs said, suddenly appearing.

"Whoa, these spots, they're not going away," Gustav asked.

I'm gonna go on a whim and say he must be related to Snotlout.

"It isn't something to just be touched," Fishlegs explained and stroked the Dragon Eye like some mystical treasure.

"Relax, Fishlegs, I know what I'm doing. Hey!" Gustav was cut off by Toothless and Spike growling at him.

"Hey, since when are there two Night Fury's?!" He yelled in astonishment. "Can I have one?!"

"Eh, no," I said. "And since a Screaming Death can't fit in the Clubhouse," I added.
