Hiccstrid one shots

Mate

So um I got inspired and I thought to myself why not make a one shot about this, nothing has changed though just some but not all. Remember Eret from HTTYD 3? He appears here, this is set in RTTE.

Hiccup's POV

"Hey, uh, Hiccup."

I turned around and saw the twins walking into the clubhouse with a large man trailing behind them.

"Ruff, Tuff... Who's he?" I asked, eyeing Ruffnut, who was already making googly eyes at the man. Tuffnut, on the other hand, just stared at his sister in disgust.

"Ruff, Tuff, answer Hiccup. Now. Why is he here?" Fishlegs stepped beside me, his voice tense.

"Allow me to introduce myself," the man said in a deep accent. He had black hair, a sharply defined jaw, and a heavily muscled frame.

"Eret, son of Eret. I've come to speak with the Dragon Master." He walked toward me with his hands clasped behind his back, eyes locked on mine.

"Dragon Master? Please! There's no such title-and if there were, definitely not here," Snotlout scoffed as he swaggered over.

"Though a master? Obviously me. I mean, look at this muscle." Snotlout flexed dramatically, earning two very audible gagging noises from the others. I chuckled under my breath. Eret, however, remained expressionless. Apparently, he didn't find it amusing.

Then, he looked at me again, and this time there was a strange glint in his eyes.

A low growl rumbled behind me. I turned and saw Toothless, eyes narrowed into angry slits, stalking toward Eret. His gaze was locked, deadly serious. I placed my hand gently on his snout, and he slowly calmed under my touch, though he didn't take his eyes off the stranger.

Suddenly, Eret chuckled and grinned at me. Toothless must've sensed he wasn't a threat, because he relaxed and stepped back behind me.

"So you're the Dragon Master. Not what I expected." I snapped my head toward him, raising a brow.

"Excuse me?"

I felt a presence beside me and turned to see Astrid glaring at Eret, her eyes sharp with judgment. Eret smirked at her-and then winked.

That made my blood boil. Even if Astrid wasn't mine, that didn't give him the right to look at her like that.

"Let's put aside your underestimation of me," I said, my tone colder. "What do you mean by 'Dragon Master'?"

Eret's face turned serious. His eyes flicked to Toothless, then back to me.

"You are bonded to the one and only Night Fury. The Council contacted me to find the Dragon Master-because he has a mission ahead that could change every human life."

He stepped right up to me, lifting his hands to my forehead. I barely had time to react before he began chanting something in a language I didn't recognize.

A sudden light burst between his palms and my forehead. Gasps echoed around the room. Toothless nudged me with his snout, his touch grounding me as something inside me stirred-tingling, growing stronger with every second.

My senses sharpened. My vision cleared, crisp as ever. I could hear my friends calling my name with perfect clarity. Strength surged through my body. Confidence pulsed through my veins.

Then, I saw it-a vision.

We were in Berk. The people were cheering. I saw Dad, standing beside a woman with auburn hair. I turned and saw my friends celebrating, their dragons behind them. Toothless was on the ground, looking tired but flashing one of his gummy smiles. He was okay.
