Don't Hate The Player, Hate The Game (Viggo Grimborn x Fem Reader)

Chapter 7

It was the middle of the night, as most hunters including Ryker had gone to get some rest, Viggo however was still in his tent scribbling away, over plans. I watch the man I love, grumble in defeat. Hiccup and the brats have been doing a lot of damage recently to Viggo's business, and it is taking its toll recently.

I noticed Viggo had rarely been sleeping (even worse than usual) and has not been taking any breaks from his work, it even getting to the point where it feels like Viggo is actively avoiding me, so he doesn't get distracted, which hurts, but I can't blame Viggo entirely its Hiccup and his riders who just won't leave us alone. I know we were successful in retrieving Berks gold, however, the auction was interrupted and some have questioned Viggo's credibility. If we could only destroy Hiccup's base for good, make them retreat to Berk. I remember thinking about a way to destroy it with the volcano, Eruptodon if I remember, but finding one is nearly impossible.

I hear Viggo grunt in frustration, making me sigh as I place my hand on his arm. Feeling him tense under my touch.

"Viggo, honey, you need to get some rest"

Viggo didn't reply at first " my love, I cannot. I still have to recover lost stock, after Hiccup and his riders have been intervening a lot with the business."

" I know, but Viggo, you haven't slept in days, it's bad for your health, I'm worried"

Viggo didn't look at me and continued working

I roll my eyes, as he ignored me. I was getting frustrated at his antics. "Viggo I'm not asking"

"Y/n -" Viggo stated, turning his head to face me, his irritated expression dropped almost instantly when his brown eyes met my own.

"Please" I muttered, my hand still on his arm. I didn't expect my voice to come out hoarse, and full of concern.

Viggo huffed, placing down his writing utensils, his hand cups my cheek, and his thumb gently strokes my cheek.

"Alright, my love" Viggo flashed me a genuine soft smile, before getting up from his chair, as I then take my hand in his, interlocking my fingers with his. Before leading him out of the tent and down to our hut, Fafnir was asleep outside our hut, as Viggo and I make our way inside. With it just being us two awake, we didn't have to worry about anyone noticing us.

It wasn't long before we changed and climbed into bed, I rest my head on Viggo's chest, noticing he was really struggling to sleep.

"Honey, I know the past few weeks have been an uphill struggle. If I could single handily burn down Hiccup's base, you know I would. I hate seeing you like this, if only we had an Eruptodon, to use to activate the dormant volcano."

Viggo suddenly sat up, startling me to sit up too. His hands cup both my cheeks, placing a kiss on my lips. "My love that's it, I know somewhere in the Archipelago where an Eruptodon resides, we could relocate it to the Riders base, destroying it once and for all"

I chuckle, Viggo suddenly tries to get out of bed, but I place my hand on his chest. "Hold on, we can discuss this tomorrow, you promised me you would get some rest."

Viggo sighed lying back down, as did I placed my head back on his chest. It was silent for a few moments before I spoke "Honey, did I ever tell you how much I love you"

Viggo wrapped an arm around my body. His mind is still elsewhere.

" I love how determined you are, how passionate you are with your business. I love how devoted you are to me and your business. I love how your nose crinkles when you concentrate. I love your laugh, it's like an endless melody that I never get sick of hearing." I let out a yawn, as my eyes fluttered shut.
