《love on the battlefield》 (Ruffnut x gender neutral reader)

A bond of sorts

Y/n ran from Gobber and the village the others not questioning them,

They ran through the forest, reaching Raven Point in minutes, immediately looking around

Y/ns pov

I looked around carefully, not wanting to slip or fall, my axe strapped tightly to my back so I wouldn't drop it into the debris below me

Two paths of broken branches split off, I marked a mildly damaged branch with a symbol to show Hiccup which path I checked

I always believed what he said so this was something we did, wherever I check I leave a marking on a nearby tree, it was usually one of the symbols I saw in the book of dragon, not that he knew that

I don't think he even knows the damn thing exists

After carving the symbol I walked down the path grabbing the trees to steady myself, my palm stinging from the contact with the sharpness of the splits.

The path led down towards the cove, the odd black or grey scale in the path. The dragon was injured for sure.

As I continued down, dragon like groans and whimpers filled the once quiet air

And then I saw it

A beautiful black and grey Night Fury, Hiccup was right, the poor thing looked to be male covered in ropes, his wings strapped tightly to his sides, his tail partially missing, I walked closer not in fear or in need to kill it, but in wonder and worry

The poor thing was tied up and in pain, I couldn't leave him there

I moved slowly not wanting to scare them, his ear twitched and his eyes opened to reveal a grayish colour with slitted pupils, he didn't eye me his gaze was set on my axe

I unstrapped the weapon placing it down far away from him, his eyes softend slightly, I dropped down to my knees next to him

"I won't hurt you... I'm here to help..." I spoke my voice wavering when he growled his mouth lighting up a blue colour before he nudged my arm gently, the blast dying down in his throat

"I'm gonna free you okay...? I'll get something to help your tail i promise..."

The dragons eyes softend more, no longer slits but full of wonder

"Okay you need to trust me I don't want to hurt you but its too tight to undo by hand is it okay if I grab my dagger?"

He looked at me calmly his eyes full of understanding as I slowly took the dagger out, unfazed he watched me cut the ropes taking them off his body until he was completely free

I placed the dagger back in its holder, smiling at his as he stood. He looked at his tail noticing it was damaged

A downed dragon is a dead dragon
He can't fly

He looked at me again I lifted my hand towards him as he smiled a gummy smile, licking my hand before jumping on me almost like an embrace.

They're not evil...

"Hmm what can I call you...? How about D/n"

He looked at me smiling another gummy smile seeming to agree

"Okay D/n let's go to the cove so you can rest in a more open area"

I grabbed my axe, strapping it to my back D/n didn't mind i had it now, he knew I wouldn't hurt him

We got to the cove within seconds noticing another Night Fury already there, seemingly male as well

D/ns face lit up

"Is that your brother D/n?"

He nodded before leaping down towards him, I followed slowly behind, not wanting to break my ankle today

By the time I got down the other dragon noticed me growling D/n gurgled at him with a gummy smile again as I sat down sketching out his tail design as well as a full drawing...

Once I finished the drawings I started to draw out plans

D/n was going to fly again and I was gonna make sure of it

Thank doing I took lessons in the forge from Gobber

"I have to go D/n, I'll get working on the tail as soon as possible!"

D/n ran over to me, tackling me down and licking me, his brother joining in

"Guys!! I don't think that washes out!!"
I laughed as they got off me, i scratched
D/n scales before looking to the other one

He looked me in the eye before moving he head into my hand begging for a scratch as well which I gave into laughing

"Bye you two!!"

I ran out of the cove and back to the village, no one noticed me enter so I ran into the house

"There you are Y/n!!"

"Hi Mom and Dad"

My parents were the more peaceful vikings, like my aunt was.

My mother, Tora, her name means of the god thor which I think is awesome

My Father, Toke, his name means Thor and helmet, also pretty cool

They don't want to fight dragons they only do when absolutely necessary.

"Stoick is taking us out to look for the nest again..."

"Seriously? That's annoying mom... but you wouldn't belive it!! I saw a dragon!"

"Thats normal idiot" my older brother Frode said walking downstairs

Frode didn't want to take dragon training so he lives up to his name 'wise and clever' he works with Gothi in healing

"I know that! I mean he didn't attack me! I made a dragon friend!!"

"What type of dragon?" My mom asked, she always wanted to befriend a Nadder but never got the chance to

"A... Night Fury!!"

"Y/n... did it try to hurt you?"
Frode asked me, he was always afraid I'd do something stupid and this was borderline crazy to him probably

"No, I bonded with him! He's hurt though..."

"In what way?"

"When Hiccup shot him down, he lost part of his tail do you think you could maybe help me make D/n a prosthetic tail fin?"

They took that better then expected... but I gave the design to my brother and he nodded

"I think I can do this easily... I'd need some scales though think you could get them after your dragon training tomorrow?"

"Yes!! You won't regret this Frode! And i can try and find you a Monstrous Nightmare to befriend!!"

"Deal!"

"Kids, its late you can work on that tomorrow while we're gone"

"Yep! Night mom and dad!"

Tomorrow's gonna be a long day
