The Adventurous (HTTYD Hiccup x Reader)

Your POV

I heard Hiccup walk beside where I was sitting and look out towards the fleet as they set sail and head towards the nest, with Toothless chained up and trying to escape.

><><><

After the ships were out of view and Hiccup was still next to me I decided he needed someone to talk to.

I thought about what to say before saying it for a few minutes and stood up next to him.

"This is horrible, you lost, everything you had basically." I told him while still out towards the empty ocean.

"Thank you for saying that totally, made me feel better." He said with sarcasm in his voice before continuing. 

"Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? Would've been better for everyone." He questioned himself aloud as he looks at the wooden deck.

I put a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him as I begin to speak.

"You're right, Most Vikings would've done it." I told him as I tighten my grip on his shoulder.

"So why didn't you?" I asked him to remind himself why he didn't kill Toothless. 

"I wouldn't, I couldn't." He told me while gritting his teeth as he looks at me. 

"Why do you care? You were there!" He yelled at me, frustrated, as I stood there as he yelled at me and after a few seconds I saw his shoulders slump.

"To remind you why." I replied calmly, I saw him put a hand on my hand that was still sitting on his shoulder.

"Oh, for the love of-- I was a coward! I was weak! I wouldn't kill a dragon! I am one of the first Vikings in three hundred years who wouldn't kill a dragon!" He yelled again with frustration as his hand tightened the grip on my hand.

"Yes, I know that but... Your the first one to ride one in three hundred years," I reminded him and his head seems to lift up at my statement. 

"Now tell me why you wouldn't kill the dragon." I told him, as he sighed looking towards the horizon.

"I wouldn't kill him because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him, and I saw myself." He answered as he lets go of my hand, I walked up beside him and take my hand off his shoulder.

"I bet he's really frightened now, so what are we going to do about it? huh?" I asked, waiting for him to come up with a plan.

"I don't know... something stupid." He mumbled.

"Alright but you already tried that, you gotta do something more than stupid." I said smiling at his confidence coming through.

"Your right, then I'll do something crazy." He told me and ran off, I smiled before doing the same.

I ran off to go get the rest of the teens and my brother, to help with whatever the plan is Hiccup has in mind.

><><><

I had brought the teens to the arena as Hiccup turns around to see them all looking at him, as they all say something to him.

"If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronckle." I heard Fishlegs remark to Hiccup uninterested in the plan, as the twins and Snotlout approach him.

"You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon. That's me." Tuff explained to Hiccup while pointing at himself.

However, Tuff got pulled backward by Snotlout.
