Why Me? (Older Hiccup and Reader)

Chapter 67

Your POV

Although, I would love to help Hiccup research this, I'd like to do something that didn't involve us inside. I want to go flying. I haven't been able to in forever it feels like. 

"Hiccup, as much as I'd like to help you here, lets stop and just have a fun day with the gang." I whine. 

"Your right. I mean you have been stuck inside for a few days. I would probably go nuts if I couldn't leave my house." Hiccup chuckles. I get up slowly and make my way upstairs. I get changed and see Hiccup downstairs already dressed. 

We walk out and mount on our dragons. We start to fly in the clouds and I feel peace again. I feel free.

As we soar, we're joined by several other dragon riders. I smile as they all see that I'm feeling better. 

"Hey guys want to play hide and seek: dragon edition?" Tuff asks.

"What's that?" Snoutlout asks,

"Its the same as hide and seek, but you have to hide with your dragons too, which makes it trickier." Tuff explains.

"I'm up for it. I want to do a little fun." I agree. 

"Sure, why not let's try it out." Hiccup agrees. We land back at the Dome shortly after our flight. 

"Alright, the rules are the same like the regular hide and seek, but if your dragon is caught, then your caught as well. Also your dragon as to stay with you at all times. The whole island is open for hiding. Just no caves, caverns mountain tops, or in the air got it." Tuff explains. Everyone nods their head.

"So who's the seekers, yo have have at least 2 people and two dragons to search for everyone." Astrid states.

Everyone stares in Snoutlout and Fishlegs direction. 

The both of them look over at us and sigh. 

"Fine." Snoutlout and Fishlegs agrees. 

"We have 5 minutes to hide. GO!" Tuff yells. Everyone hiding gets on their dragons and fly off. I had Hiccup follow me, and he knows where I'm taking him. We decide to go to the waterfall cave Hiccup found me in that one day. Tuff didn't say waterfall caves. He just said caves. When we got there, we already knew the five minutes was up, so we hurried in and got into the little cave.

"Few, that was close." I sigh out.

"Yea. Smart thinking coming here, Tuff didn't say anything about waterfall caves. So we're following the rules." Hiccup says. 

"Yup!" I say popping the 'p'. We start to talk about some random dragon stuff and laughed a bit. It's been a few hours and I think its the afternoon. The dragons had fallen asleep together as well and it looked adorable. 

"Hey, I think once, your wound heals completely, were going back to Berk. Mom sent an air mail and said she needed us back. It's getting a bit hectic back home." Hiccup says.

"Alright. I kinda miss Berk. I want to try one of Helga's cakes too. I had heard about them being so good and delicious." I say smiling. 

"Oh they are. Trust me. She was one of the only other adults that didn't hate me when I was younger. So she would give me a cupcake or just a full out cake to make me feel better when I was sad or down on myself." Hiccup says.

"Well that's sweet." I say smiling. 

"Yea. It was. I know you'll love her cake. What's your favorite flavor?" Hiccup asks. 

"Oh it's (Favorite Cake Flavor)." I state. 

"Really? Mine too." Hiccup chuckles. We laugh at little and it goes quiet. I feel a bit cold and start to shiver. 

"Ya' cold?" Hiccup asks.

"Yea. A little, but I'll be fine." I say. Hiccup wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me up onto his lap.  I blush at the sudden action. Even if we're dating, he still makes me blush a crimson red if he does something that's sweet. 

I instantly feel warmer as I snuggle closer to him. I lay my head back onto his shoulder as I held his hands that rested on my stomach. We sat silently just listening to everything around us. The sound of the waterfall, the echo in the little cave, the silent snores of the dragons. I could feel Hiccup's heart beat. He holds me tighter and I get worried. I see that he has this worried expression on his face. I positioned myself where I was in his lap and both legs was on either side of him. His hands rested on my waist. 

"What?" He asks innocently. 

"What's wrong?" I ask holding his face. 

"Nothing, I'm fine." He simple states. I look into his eyes and see he was lying.

I shake my head at him and look back into his eyes.

"Your lying. What's wrong?" I ask again.

"It's just....Im worried about your well being. I care for you so much, but when I say the bandage peeing out of your armor here..." He points toward my exposed bandage on my right shoulder, clearly visible. 

"That day you got attacked and I wasn't  there in time to protect, still makes me mad at myself." He states sadly. 

"Hiccup...." I grab his hands and show them to him. They was still bandaged slightly from his knuckles being busted up so bad.

"This made me worry about you. Don't go blaming yourself, when you did all you could. It happens, everyone gets hurt once in awhile. But those things that happen to us makes us stronger. Things happen for a reason..." I say letting go of his hands. His hands find themselves back on my waist as he brings me closer hugging me closely to him. I wrap my hands around his neck and stroke his hair. 

"Beside, I'm glad I got hurt cause guess what? It gave us even more bonding time. It showed me you care so much about me. That you truly love me. That you do worry about me. It also shows that I got a pretty good looking scar on my back." I giggle. 

I push him off to see his face. Our faces only centimeters away. I hold his face in my hands and I smile at him. He returns the gesture. We both lean in and start a passionate kiss. Our lips moving in sync with one another. Enjoying the others love. 

It turns a little heated when Hiccup asks for an entrance. I tease him and keep my mouth close. I feel one of his hands grab my butt. I gasp at the sudden action as Hiccup takes a chance to slip in. We fight for dominance, but Hiccup won. 

We kissed and we kissed. We put a lot of our love into the kiss as we sat there. I played with his hair while I felt his warm rough, but gentle hands touch the exposed part on my lower back that wasn't scared. 

We soon separate for air as we sit there staring at each other. 

"I love you so much." He whispers. 

"I love you too ya' goofball."
