Hiccup x Reader (Race To The Edge)

(Original chapter. Song Suggestion: Distance - Chistina Perri ft. Jason Mraz)

After everything with the Wing Maidens, Fishleg's ancestors, and Gruffnut lying about those crazy trials, you and Hiccup had been busy running around left and right. Everything had gotten so crazy that there wasn't a single day that passed by where you both weren't on edge.

You wanted to ask him about trying to find a day for yourselves. You had been nervous, but the more that happened the more you wanted time with him. You had made up your mind. Today, you were going to ask him.

You were heading to his hut. You hoped that he would say yes. It would mean a lot to you. You were also completely sure that both of you needed some time away.

You walked into his hut and saw that he was working on the Dragon Eye Two. He had been obsessed with it for days now. You hoped that you would be able to take his mind off of it for a while. He didn't even notice you had come in until you were right next to him.

"Gah! Oh, it's just you, (Y/n). You startled me." 

"Sorry, Hiccup." You saw him continue with whatever he had been doing. He waked off, grabbing something and tinkering with it a little. You breathed in and out, calming yourself. I got this. It's fine. Just ask him. Not hard at all.

"So, um, Hiccup, I was wondering if we could-" Hiccup set down the Dragon Eye Two.

"Actually, (Y/n), you came at the perfect time." He said. You smiled.

"Really?" You asked.

"Yeah, I could really use your help." You frowned a little. 

"Oh, um, okay. With what?" 

"I need you to run to Berk and get some more supplies. We need to reinforce the Edge in case there are any more attacks. You know, Jahlin and his team would be a big help. Think you can also ask if they can come for a few days?" More help then me and MY family? You thought a little bitterly.

"Uh, yeah. Sure." You replied.

"Thanks, (Y/n)!" He said and kept working. You frowned as he turned away from you.

"No problem!" You forced yourself to say it cheerfully. You walked out and sighed deeply. Well, that went horribly. 

You hopped back onto Nightshade and you both took off together. You flew alone all the way to Berk. It was a long and dull flight. You yawned, bored out of your mind and feeling a little down. You should've known Hiccup was too busy for anything right now. But then why did it sting so bad? You huffed, trying to ignore the sinking feeling in your gut. 

You made it to Berk without any trouble, but it was already nearly the end of the day. You sighed heavily, knowing you were going to be staying the night and heading out first thing in the morning. Stoick came over to you as you landed.

"Well, what brings you back to Berk so soon, (Y/n)?" He asked.

"Hiccup sent me for more supplies to reinforce the Edge. He also wants me to bring Jahlin's team so they can help out in making sure everything is properly set up."

"Jahlin's team? Why not send for your family? They've been around all this for far longer."

"I know right?" You agreed. You sighed heavily. "I wanted to ask him if we could spend time together, but he didn't even hear me. He just kept working with the new Dragon Eye." Stoick patted your shoulder.

"Hiccup can get lost in his own world. You know that, lass. Just give it time. I'm sure it will be fine." You nodded, knowing you should trust his word, but also feeling like it wasn't that simple. As you went to go find Jahlin, you bumped into someone.
