Hello! It is cel, your author here. Major thanks to Viggo's Pride on Wattpad as this was a huge inspiration for this one shot! This one shot is quite old and when I was still a htyyd fan and before 29 Nov it was unfinished, so I decided to carry on at ten pm when I have a Spanish test tomorrow ☺️🔫 of course I added small fourth wall breaking parts as I love to take the mick out of myself.
Enjoy!Also if you find any spelling mistakes, congrats, more evidence I need to a) know how to spell and b) actually get proper sleep so my eyes aren't droopy and tired all the time.

Viggo and Hiccup sat infront of the stars, grazing their hands ever so slightly grass on the cliff the two were sat on. The only noise there coming from the younger, who was humming quietly to himself. You may ask, why? Why was the Dragon hunter and the Dragon rider, sworn enemies — sitting together as if all the history and past between the two meant nothing? Well my dear readers, do I have a secret for you. After many accidental Terror Mails and secrets unfolding to the two, Viggo turned out to be Hiccup's biological father. This shocked Hiccup and Viggo both, but they decided to resolve it together.
Going back to now, Hiccup and his new-found-father, Viggo, sat together — as the younger had called it — 'father and son bonding time'. It was a waste of time in Viggo's perspective, however, the pleading look the rider gave him, just slightly persauded him. 'Not saying that it worked!' The older thought over and over again, a mantra repeating in his head, alas, the more it repeated, the more it became a lie.
"..Viggo?" A hesitant voice broke his thoughts like glass with a chainsaw held by a rabid squirrel. His head turned from facing the sky to his biological son. "Yes, my... dear Hiccup?" Despite the amount of times Viggo fluidly said that phrase in the past, it just felt weird to use it in an affectionate context. Usually he'd use it as a way to rile him up of sorts, never to console. "Are you.." Hiccup faltered, looking off to the stars again, avoiding Viggo's watchful gaze. The younger started to play with his hands. 'Nervousness perhaps?' It was a habit for Viggo to take in others behaviour habits, however it all came with the ability to use it for manipulation.
"..Proud of me?" Still playing with his hands, only now Hiccups face was cosplaying as a tomato, eyes still not making eye contact. To say that Viggo did not expect that was an understatement. After all Hiccup was usually confident and assertive (atleast as an enemy) that, to see this more softer and insecure side of him, made him feel special in a way? Viggo sighed internally, how hard was it to get his feelings out into a simple paragraph author?
Viggo's silence obviously meant something to Hiccup as the nonexistent clock ticked and his composed demeanor slowly crumbled. His head was now completely faced away from his biological father. Trying to hide the tears welling in his eyes. "Nev- Never mind, it doesn't matter much anyway." Hiccup stammered over his words trying to keep his voice in check but all it was good for was cracking with every word spoken.
Viggo was at a loss at what to do. How the hell do you comfort an 18 (??? To be honest Viggo had no idea at this point) year old. Never in his life of being a peice of shit part-time, scratch that, full-time did he expect to be sitting here trying his best to comfort his ex(?)-enemy. He was not cut out for this.
Hesitantly he put his scarred hand on Hiccups cheek, successfully making eyecontact with the younger. He didn't know what to say next. "But Hiccup," Viggo trailed off. Planning everything in his head before completely giving up on it. "I am proud of you. Of everything."
Yes, it was awkward. Yes, Hiccup started at him, slightly dumbfounded. No, he di not regret it however. Viggo would never trade those last few moments were Hiccup leaned into his hand and looked at him like that for the word.
They didn't know how they were going to work this out, but atleast they had together.
