Fem Hiccup Oneshots (Mostly Hiccstrid)

Enemy of my Enemy

This isn't like a full go through of the episode. I just wanted to add some more between  Hiccup and Ash around this episode because I feel like Dream Works missed out on an opportunity. Hiccup and  Ash are having a fight in this one so there is quite a bit of swearing, and sorry if it's cheesy I'm not great at writing conflict.

It was dawn on Dragon's Edge. The sun had just peaked over the horizon, casting a light pink across the morning sky. Hiccup lay motionless, listening with attentive ears to the chirping birds.

She was trapped. Imprisoned within her own hut and (much to her annoyance) pinned down on her own bed. It wasn't a cage of strength with iron bars that locked her in, but a simple arm draped over her waist gently. Now, you may ask, why is that a trap? Well, said arm was attached to a certain snoring blonde collapsed in the bed next to her.

On any normal day, Hiccup would have celebrated having Ash in her hut - let alone her bed. However, momentarily, it was as much a punishment as it was a blessing.

Ever since Viggo took off with the Dragon Eye, Hiccup had been scouring the map vigorously. The more time passed, the more desperate she became; and the more desperate she became, the more reckless she was. This obsession had resulted in the group unanimously putting their foot down, forbidding Hiccup from going out to look for the hunters unless they all agreed first. Of course that didn't stop her. Hiccup had waited until darkness had cloaked the sky and a storm covered the sound of their flight, to slip away. She hadn't made it far before the wind incapacitated Toothless' tail fin, causing them to crash land on a nearby island - lucky enough to walk away with no more than a broken arm. As retribution for her little stunt, Hiccup now had a 24/7 babysitter whom was currently lazed to her left.

She had to be careful. The slightest jolt had the potential to startle the warrior awake, and then escape was out the window. Tentatively, Hiccup reached her arm up (trying to keep her main frame still) and snagged the pillow under her head. With great focus and care, she positioned the pillow by Ash's arm. This was the tricky part. Hiccup had to, somehow, successfully replace herself with the pillow without waking him.

Hiccup hesitated. Taking a deep breath she began to slide her body out from beneath Ash, keeping the pillow as close to her as possible. Almost there. She was so close to freedom. Just a little more and.... YES!

Hiccup stood up off the bed, pumping her fists in silent celebration. To the stables!

A distanced clatter disturbed Ash from his slumber. Someone else would investigate it. He already had his assigned job. A warm sensation trickled down into his stomach at the thought. Watching Hiccup really was the luck of the draw. That was one of the best night's sleep he'd ever had. He might just have to make this babysitting a regular thing. Ash pulled the little thing in his arms closer to his chest. Gods she's so soft... and cushiony... and small.... and......... wait.

Eyes snapping open, Ash bolted upright, surveying the empty bed.

"Hiccup?"

Another crash echoed in from outside. It sounded like it was coming from the stables.

Gods, damn it all to hell!

"Sh! Toothless."

CRASH!

Hiccup just managed to duck out of the way of a flying chunk of metal. Toothless kept clawing at the armour still remaining on his body, tearing at the straps with his teeth.
