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

Chapter 9

hi guys, this is a short chapter, I have been struggling on where I'm taking this story next and have star wars celebration this weekend so what to post something. hope you enjoy.

A few weeks after the whole Eruptodon situation, Viggo had been pushing himself too much, but thankfully, with today marks my and Viggo's three-year anniversary together as a couple. We always promised each other that today was just for the two of us. No dragons, par Fafnir, no dragon hunting, no business, just us.

We normally don't do gifts for each other, as being with him is the great gift I could ever ask for. But with Hiccup and his riders, waging war against us, Viggo has become stressed with the entire situation, so I got him something I know he would love, and we get to spend the entire day together.

Unfortunately, the day didn't start as I previously planned, I woke up with Viggo nowhere to be found in our hut. I double-checked his present was still hidden as knowing Viggo it is very difficult to hide things from him.

Fafnir was waiting outside the hut for me, as he gestured his head towards Viggo's tent. I sign hoping he isn't working but knowing him he is. I walked over with Fafnir in tow, I did notice however how quiet it was, I usually would have seen Ryker by now. I did remember that Viggo had put a bounty on Hiccup's head, so that may be the reason for his absence.

Reaching the tent, I found one very, stressed and frustrated Viggo Grimborn, scribbling down what I believe to be business plans, before scrunching up the parchment, and tossing it to the ground, in defeat.

"I explicitly told you lot, I want complete solitude for to-" Viggo looked up, his irritated expression vanishes as his brown eyes met my own. "My dear, your awake?"

"Yep, however I was disappointed to find my bed empty, considering today?" I responded

Viggo looked at me confused "Y/n my love I always awaken before you do"

"Yes but usually with todays date-" I was cut off by Viggo "My dearest, the numerous attacks from Hiccup and the other riders have put a strain on my business, I cannot afford to take time off, today is just a regular day, one I cannot afford to lose."

Hearing those words, hurt like hel, 'he forgot' I thought with a shock, trying to hide the pained expression on my face.

I raised my hands in fake surrender, "Alright Viggo, I leave you to it" before turning and leaving not giving the man a chance to respond. I mounted Fafnir and took to the skies, it was a beautiful day, but after a moment it didn't stop the tears from dripping down my face.

"That fucker forgot, we have been talking about this for weeks, to spend the whole day together, just the two of us. And Viggo forgot" I yelled out loud to Fafnir. "I get he has been under a lot of stress recently, and his behaviour has changed, but that does not give him the right, to dismiss our anniversary. Yes were not betrothed, which I know will never happen, as Viggo is not the marriage type, which is understandable, and I don't care either way, but sometimes, it makes me feel like this whole relationship is more one-sided. I get Hiccup and that isn't Viggo's fault, but he has never failed to spend the day with me, and I had wanted to just spend time with him that doesn't involve Hiccup or dragons. But no I don't get that luxury, but I guess Hiccup truly loves to take everything away from me. Am not being too dramatic am I" Fafnir grunts in response "Thanks Faf, I love Viggo more than anything, but Hiccup's involvement has definitely put a strain on our relationship, intentional or not."

After ranting to Fafnir for what felt like forever, we returned back home, landing near our hut. I enter knowing Viggo isn't here and is probably still in his tent working. I sigh before noticing a single rose lying on the floor, which I remembered was definitely not there this morning.
