Mericcup one-shots

Angus

Merida POV

I stare in frustration as my arrow wedges itself in the undergrowth for the nth time in the past few minutes. I can't believe they forgot! And I thought they were friends. I stroll over to a small tree my arrow managed to embed itself under and struggle wriggling it free.

After a while of failure I finally release it from the depths if the undergrowth. I sit on a large rock near the river and stare solemnly at a fish who's swimming contently in the clearness of the water. My hands run across the wood and intricate carvings of my bow that my Dad's friend, Gobber, carved into its body. My thoughts backtrack to the day I got my bow.

It was my 6th birthday. Exactly 4 years ago. My family and I were camping on the vast Scottish plains in a small clearing surrounded by a woodland. That was when I met him. My best friend. Dad told me he had a surprise coming and that 'uncle' Stoick and 'auntie' Valka were going to visit. It wasn't until a few months later I actually found out they weren't in any way related to me other than as family friends. They brought their 6 year old son, Hiccup, with them. I know what you're thinking 'what sort of name is Hiccup?'. I thought that at first but as we became closer, the name just seemed normal. Over the years we developed a friendship that's lasted until now and hopefully another few decades more.

It's my 10th birthday now and my so called 'friends' have decided to not show up on this extra special occasion.

A rustle in the bushes catches my attention. I immediately notch an arrow and aim into the undergrowth. "Who's there?" I ask, fear laced in my words.

I hear someone chuckle lightly. "Calm down Mer. It's only us." A figure emerges from the undergrowth followed by 6 others.

"You remembered!" I squeal, running to him and hugging him tight "Hic! You remembered!"

He chuckles "of course I did Mer! How could I forget my BFF's birthday?" he grins at me. Behind him, Snotlout, Astrid, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Heather stand with packages wrapped in decorate parchment.

"Happy birthday Mer!" Astrid congratulates, advancing toward me. She holds the package at arms length for me to take. I slip it out of her hands and settle myself on the floor before setting to work ripping the parchment. The rest sit down, creating a circle shape.

"Awwww! Astrid I love it!" I squeal as I glimpse at the insides of the package. A small bracelet lays in the centre of the ripped parchment. It's made with dark, blue dyed horse hair; small, metal shape is tied in the centre with a design of intricate Celtic knots. In the centre of the Celtic designs is my name written in swirly writing.

I look over to Astrid as she holds her wrist up revealing an identical purple bracelet with her name engraved on it. The designed on hers are small dragons and flames. "Matching set!" she smiles.

I open all of my presents. Fishlegs got me a book on battle strategies; Snotlout got me a dagger with 'Brave' engraved in the handle; Ruffnut got me a set of new, metal arrows; Tuffnut got me a shield with paintings of fire on it and Heather got me a pendant necklace. Hiccup was the only one who hasn't yet given me a present. Odd. What's even more odd? He's also disappeared.

My 'Thank you's are interrupted by someone clearing their throat rather loudly. We immediately stop our chatter and snap round to where the noise came from. Hiccup stands, half hidden, behind a tree. He indicates for me to join him. I turn to the others who just smirk and nod. I timidly make my way toward him, joining him behind the tree.

He turns me around so I'm facing away from him and covers my eyes with his hands. "What are you up to Hic?" I say, smiling, finding it extremely hard to stifle a giggle.

"You'll see." he leads me around a twist of trees that makes me feel really dizzy as I can't see where I'm going. "Her we are!" he announces. He slowly peels his hands away from my eyes revealing the most beautiful creature.

A black Clydesdale horse.

It's only small so it is most likely to just be a foal.

"Do you like it?" Hic asks, resting his hands on my shoulders and peering round to look at my expression.

"I'm speechless!" I say in awe "It's incredible!" He loosens his grip on my shoulders as I advance toward the foal.

Hiccup comes to my side placing his arm loosely around my shoulders. "What are you going to name him?" he ask quietly.

"Angus!" I whisper, stroking his nose lovingly (A/n Angus not Hiccup XD) He nuzzles into me making me let out a childish giggle. Hiccup chuckles as well. "Thank you Hiccup." I whisper, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Anything for you, Princess."
