TW - mentions of abuse

The next day, Hiccup waited nervously as paced outside the Great Hall. He had told Y/n to meet him at the Great Hall just before sunset, right after dinner at the Great Hall.

A million questions were racing through his mind, would Y/n like it? Did Arjuna set him up for failure? What if she thought the idea was lame?

Sensing his friend's discomfort, Toothless walked over to Hiccup and nudged his hand with a dragon smile.

"What if she doesn't sho-" Hiccup got cut off by another voice.

"Hey Haddock!" Y/n said, walking towards him with D/n by her side. D/n white scales sparkled in the sunlight as they slowly turned black.

Y/n had black pants on and a f/c shirt, D/n scales seemed to cover most of her shirt yet still letting the f/c fabric show. She had a black built on that held her daggers, her three bracelets and her hair was in a s/h/s.

"Y/n! You're here!" Hiccup blurted out before he could stop himself.

Y/n tilted her head to the side in confusion, "Why wouldn't I be?"

"I wasn't sure if you were going to show up." Hiccup replied, looking anywhere but the girl in front of him, trying not to show her his flushed face.

Y/n let out a laugh, "You are one of most socially awkward people I've ever known" she teased making Hiccup nervously chuckle.

"Are you ready?" Hiccup asked, getting on Toothless making Y/n get on D/n.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere I think you'll like." Hiccup replied, making Y/n smile.

Toothless took off immediately, taking off to the west, D/n following him.  Y/n was practically vibrating with excitement, she was going on a date with Hiccup Haddock.

Sure, they didn't get off on the right foot; he infiltrated her island and she tried to kill him - multiple times. But look at them now! Going on a date.

"So, Haddock, has it always been your dad and you?" Y/n curiously asked, despite not wanting to ask because she thought it was a touchy subject, she asked anyway. 'Dam it brain, I didn't want to ask!' she thought

Hiccup didn't answer right away and Y/n thought she really screwed up, "You don't have to answer if you don't want to." she said, immediately backtracking.

"No, it's alright. I didn't really know her. I was just caught off guard. I don't mind answering." Hiccup replied, offering Y/n a small smile to which she gladly returned.

"There was a dragon attack when I was little. I mean, like really little, as in still a baby. I don't think I was two years old yet. Anyway, there was a dragon attack and our house was on fire. My mom and dad were outside." Hiccup said

"Dad was trying to kill them and Mom was helping people. When she realized that I was inside and there was a dragon, she grabbed a weapon of some kind and barged in. I don't really know what happened next but apparently, Gobber and Dad told me this, the dragon left but took my mom with it. Dad never saw her again." Hiccup continued

"It took me forever to get Dad to tell me, every time I brought her up he would change the subject. When I was finally 14, I made Dad and Gobber tell me. And then I found out. I didn't cry, I barely knew my mom but I was definitely in shock." Hiccup finished

Y/n motioned for D/n to move closer to Toothless and Hiccup and when she did, Y/n held Hiccup's hand.

"I'm sorry, Hiccup." she said, squeezing his hand as she looked at him.
