Tame Heart - Older!Hiccup x Female!Reader

Chapter 3

Hiccup furrowed his eyebrows, as his grip on her shoulder loosened. She crossed her arms, putting distance between the two of them. "Are you gonna talk, or are you gonna just stare at me?" Hiccup asked. (Y/N) batted her eyelashes. "I don't know, you are kinda pretty." She said, Hiccup retracted his hand and stared at her in confusion. She smiled, and took this opportunity to throw a left hook, punching him in the jaw, then kicking him in the stomach, sending him away. He grabbed his stomach in pain, as he propped himself up on one of his elbows. She stalked over to him, and crouched down by his face, raking her fingers through his hair, playing with one of his braids. "It's a shame, Hiccup. You have so much potential. You managed to tame a Night Fury, yet you're so lanky, and awkward. I thought you'd get picked apart by him. Still, you're determined, I'll give you that. It only makes sense someone as hard-headed as you would be the one to tame the last Night Fury." She cooed. Hiccup coughed, and shoved her hand away, a scowl forming on her face. "Well that wasn't very nice." She said. He scoffed. "You kicked me in the stomach after you socked me in the jaw, I think I was plenty nice." He said. She rolled her eyes, getting up. "Oh please. You wouldn't hurt me. You wouldn't hurt anyone if you didn't need to. And right now, you don't need to." She said, leaning back against a tree. Hiccup finally pushed himself off the ground, and stared at her. "Why?" He asked. She cocked her head. "Why haven't you killed me yet? I've heard about you.. Who you are, what you do, what you've DONE. Tell me." He demanded. She sighed. "Gods, you're so bossy. It's cool y'all talk about me back at Berk though. I don't really owe it to you to tell, but if you really must know.." She said, looking off into the distance. A smile grew on her face. "I'm just bored." She said. She stared at Hiccup for a while longer before she began approaching him. "Hey, hey, wait, what are you doing?" He asked, backing up until his back hit a tree. She cupped his face gently in her hands, as she stared at him, and Hiccup saw himself in her eyes. His eyes darted around awkwardly, before her eyes grew dark and she smashed her head against his. He shouted out in pain, as she whipped him around, throwing him onto the ground on his back. She began to straddle him, as she brought out her knife, and slammed the handle of it against his armor, shattering a small area, exposing the shirt underneath. She ripped the shirt, and as he went to shove her off, she held both of his wrists tightly in her grasp, as she held the edge of the blade to his chest. She felt him struggling underneath him, as she just.. held in there. Eventually, she looked him in the eyes and smiled, drawing her knife back. She threw his wrists, rolled off of him, and dusted off her clothes. "Ugh, now I'm all dusty. Thanks." She said. Hiccup was still on the ground, trying to register what had just happened. "Anyways, your dragon is somewhere in this forest, probably closer back to your cave." She said, pointing her blade in the direction he came from. She disappeared into the forest, and suddenly Toothless burst through the trees, panting. "Hey, bud!" Hiccup said, sitting up, the pain from his stomach and jaw mostly gone, leaving a nasty headache from the head but. Toothless' tongue fell out of his mouth as he panted happily, and ran to his rider. Hiccup ran his hands along Toothless' scales, as he climbed onto his back, and sighed. He took off to meet back with the other rides.

Once Hiccup arrived back, he was greeted warmly, but he didn't respond at first. "I think we need to leave soon." He said. "Why?" Astrid asked. "We haven't even been here this long." Hiccup faced the group. "She's on this island. She knows where we are. She found me and.." He said, trailing off. "Hiccup, what happened?" Fishlegs asked cautiously. He groaned in frustration. "Gods, she's so weird. I tried to talk to her, but she just stared at me for a bit. Then she punched me in the jaw, kicked me in the stomach, then she crouched down next to me and.. She started touching my hair?!" He exclaimed in frustration. "She had plenty of opportunities to kill me. She had her own knife, AND my weapon, I had nothing. She'd gotten to Toothless without me noticing.. But when I asked her why she hadn't, she said she was bored. Then she had me, right in her grip. She did this," He said, gesturing to the small break in his armor and torn shirt. "and the was gonna cut me, but then she just smiled at me and let me go, told me where my dragon was, and then left." He said. The group exchanged confused stares. "I think if I'm gonna talk to her, it can't be here. It needs to be somewhere where she's contained. We need to bring her to a cell on Berk. Let's get up in the air and see if we can find her, and bring her back." He said. Tuffnut scoffed. "I think this is a stupid plan, and if we die, it's your fault." He said, climbing onto his dragon, the others following. Hiccup smiled in gratitude. "It'll be fine, I promise." He said, climbing onto Toothless. They quietly took off into the air, and circulated the island from way above.
