Hiccup x Reader (Race To The Edge)

Complications and Crossfires (Eps: Shell Shocked pt. 1+2)

"Y-yeah, I'm sorry, I just...I can't help thinking about-" You placed a finer on his lips, shushing him. 

"You've already thought about everything you had to, now I'd prefer you focus on something else." He smiled softly at you. You both leaned in as your hearts thrummed against your chests. Your hands drifted down to his shoulders and your cheeks began to flush. His lips just brushed yours when a voice called out from above you both.

"Oh, my Thor!" You both quickly broke apart as you heard Fishlegs above you on Meatlug. "What are you two-?! ...Wait, I know. It's so obvious!"

"It is?" You both said together nervously.

"Of course! You're discussing where to hide the Dragon Eye when we get it back. Well, Meatlug and I are way ahead of you, aren't we girl? We've for hiding places inside of our hiding places. Well, I'm gonna give Meatlug some Andesite. Helps her sleep when she's this excited. Carry on, you two." He said before they flew off. You sighed in relief.

"And I thought you were the only one who made my heart race like that." You huffed, slightly annoyed and upset that Fishlegs had ruined the moment.

"Yeah, wait, why do we care if they know about us?" He asked. You blushed.

"I...I want to tell everyone, but just...not yet, you know? I...I like it being us. I can keep you to myself." You muttered the last part. "Plus my brothers would bombard me with questions and I would prefer not to die before the mission."

"Yeah, I get it. This...this isn't the time. We can't take a chance on anyone doing anything different. Including us." He agreed. "Plus...I like having you to myself too." You blushed brighter. He grinned and began to walk away, but you grabbed him and yanked him back into a kiss. He was stunned for a moment, but then he melted into it. You pulled back and smiled at him.

"I wasn't gonna let you walk away without getting what I wanted." His face turned bright pink and you giggled as you walked off. You hopped on Nightshade and hurried off to your house. Carl was making dinner and you were not going to miss out on it.

*Later, on the mission*

You and Hiccup were leading the way with everyone right behind you. You made sure that you were fully focused. Nothing was going to make this go wrong. 

You mostly tuned out the twins' antics with Hiccup's 'amazing line' to say to Viggo. You kept a lookout, wanting to make sure that there were no surprises. Hiccup groaned to himself.

"Oh for the love of... Riders, ready! Just like we practiced!" He called. You were there. You all went into the base, but it was already trashed and ransacked. You were confused by this. What? This doesn't make any sense. What happened here?

"What's going on?" Heather asked.

"Ugh! What a rip off!" Snotlout complained.

"Oh, looks like someone beat us to it," Fishlegs added.

"The question is, who? I'll help the others search the island." Stoick said. 

"Get my brothers, Cala, and Jahlin's team to do a scouting trip to see if there are any ships nearby that might be part of Viggo's fleet!" 

"You got it, lass!" Gobber called back. You followed Hiccup into the tent. He shouted in frustration.

"Oh, Thor! What is it going to take to catch this guy!?" Suddenly, you heard something that sounded like a hollowed-out hole under some of the wood. You both looked at each other before moving to clear away the debris. There was a secret door underneath it all. You both pushed it open. Toothless and Nightshade instantly got ready to fire.
