Why Me? (Older Hiccup and Reader)

Chapter 19

Hiccup's POV

We flew to the grand hall to get some dinner after our glorious fight to come upon a few vikings still entering. This is the first time I've ever been on time for dinner.

After we landed we tossed Toothless and (d/n) some fish and headed inside the grand hall afterwards.

We got our plates and filled them with our personal taste of foods, (y/n) consisting of a balanced meal, while mine is mostly fruits. We walk over to our normal table where the gang as already beaten us to it.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" I ask sitting down next to (y/n).

"Not really much, but Fishlegs here is trying to challenge someone to a 'Do you know all about Dragons' quiz again." Astrid states.

"Fishlegs, would you quit already, you know you have read the book of dragons from cover to cover over hundreds of times." I state biting on an apple.

"Quiz? May I try it Fishlegs?" (y/n) asked.

"Oh trust me, you won't pass Fishlegs always beats us and everyone he challenges." Snout lout states chowing down on a lamb leg.

"So, I like a challenge, besides I have a feeling there will be a new champ on dragon knowledge." (y/n) said mockingly.

"Ok, but don't say we didn't warn you." Astrid says.

"Okay, lets start." Fish legs says, starting off his tricky quiz. Although (y/n) was doing really well. Fishlegs rapidly firing questions at her left and right and throwing trick questions at here her here and there, but she caught them as quick as he would throw them. Which surprised us all. Fishlegs kept going and going. After a while the grand hall became quieter and quieter as people left, soon it was just our group left in the grand hall.

"Last question, what dragon has the hottest fire breathe?" Fishlegs asked mockingly.

"My Night Fury (d/n)." I state calmly.

"Wrong, its a deadly nadder!" Fishlegs yells smiling like an idiot.

"No actually Hiccup tested her fire and its hotter than a deadly madder's." (y/n) states calmly.

"What?!" Everyone at the table practically screams looking at me.

"Yea, I tested her fire when I met (y/n). it is indeed hotter and broke the record with ease." I state sipping on my yak milk.

"If thats right then.....she beat me." Fishlegs says quietly I almost didn't catch it.

We sat for a moment to process it and when we did we had this look on our faces that made us look like fools. We all cheered except for Fishlegs, he was happy for her, but is jealous at the same time, I could tell by his expression.

(y/n) seemed mildly condfused,but once I explained to her that no bod had beaten Fishlegs she understood. Once we had our laughs and condos we decided to go our separate ways. Finally it was just down to me. Astrid and (y/n).

"Well, me and (d/n) got to rest, we having dragon racing training tomorrow so goodnight guys." (y/n) says getting up from her table.

"Okay I'll see you later (y/n) at the house." I shout to her walking out the door.

She gives me and Astrid a wave goodbye and leaves. I hear the wings of a night fury beat and shrink in the distance behind the closed door.

I take a another sip of my yak milk when Astrid spoke up.

"You like her." She simply stated.

"What?" I say.

"You like (y/n), I can see it Hiccup. I see the way you look at her." She said.

"You sound like my mother." I say taking another sip of my yak milk.

"Well me and your mother are right."

I stay quiet not knowing what to say when Astrid gets up to leave.

"Think about it Hiccup how do you see her?" She said walking out of the grand hall.

Now it's just me in a big echoing room.

Silence. Not a sound but my thoughts.

Do I like her? I mean she is just a friend right? Yes she has great dragon knowledge, great craftsmanship, she is a quick leaner, she is fighter, she is beauitful, gorgeous even. Her (e/c) are beauitful under the moonlight and are filled with wonder and beauty. Her smile can make my heart stop in a instance.

Holy Thor I like her.....
