The Dragon In me (Hiccup x Reader)

Can't run

It was dark out, beautiful too. It was my favorite time of day when the moon comes out to say hello to everyone with the sounds of owls singing and dragons snoring. I looked down at a sleeping Nightspear on my lap, slowly rubbing my hand down his head to his big jaw bone that stuck out, maybe I should go catch some fish for breakfast. I slowly slip out from under him and gently placing his head down on the floor of Hiccups room. I still feel guilty of taking his room while he sleeps downstairs on a hard wooden chair. I looked around and grabbed a soft black wool blanket to bring with me. Walking down the little staircase I spotted Hiccup in a corner of a room sleeping on the floor by a burned out fire with only a little bit of smoke going out, It was pretty chilly down here. I quietly walked over and covered him up with the wool blanket, just when I was about to walk away I noticed a bunch of books surrounding him. I was too focused on him and almost stepped on the one that was in his hands wide open. Slipping it out from under him I looked at it.

"A map?" I muttered and smirked, such a fine artist. I looked threw a few more and stopped on one that made my heart stop. I dropped the book and froze, quickly looking at Hiccup to see if woke up. He inhaled deeply and turned over but came quiet again. Relaxing I looked at the page again seeing the great details he drew in.

Malitny words bolded by ink shown on the side of the page. I skimmed over the words written in the book:

Malitny one of our most trusted companion and trade ruite. Cheif is Finlag Zealand, he had a wife named Maladeli Zealand and a daughter who is unknown. Oh good, he doesn't know who I am yet Wife died from a ambush and daughter is still unknown.

I stopped reading and put the book down on the floor by Hiccup. I couldn't help but stare at him sleeping , why all of a sudden does he look...cute? I reached my hand out and touched one of his brown curls, there so soft...Snap out of it. I quickly pulled my hand back and thought for a moment. The urge to touch him was hard to control, I just want to sit here and touch his face forever. I pulled myself away from him and backed up into the table.

"Ek!" I squealed as I quickly caught a cup that was about to shatter on the ground.

"Y/n?" I froze and slowly turned around seeing Hiccup leaning up rubbing his eyes and stretching.

"Oh heeey Hiccup, don't mind me..uh..getting a drink" I said squeezing the cup with a wave. He was about to stand up but I rushed by him and pushed him down "oh no no, Go back to sleep" I blushed as I seen his shirt hang loose, showing off his chest.

"Why are you up" He asked me with a small laugh. I nervously coughed and stood up, acting like I dusted off my pants.

"I was getting a drink, duh" I said with a huff "I just told you already, remember?"

"I don't know, I was half asleep" He said getting up.

"Eh! Wa- wait go back to sleep, it's the middle  of the night!" He waved his hand at me and walked to the table. I noticed when he walks he has a little limp to his motion, I looked down at his feet and spotted metal.

"What's that?" I asked pointing at his foot. He grabbed a different cup and scooped out water from a jug. I walked up and squat down and lifted up his pant leg to see a metal rod as his leg.

"Oh that" He said in a breathe and put the cup away "I call it Toothless's revenge-"

"He did that!?" I said in shock, I thought he was a nice innocent dragon. Hiccup shook his head and laughed "Let me finish-"

"Ok" I interrupted again "Nu I did it again! I'm so sorry" I blushed and covered my face with my hands.

"It's fine Y/n," He said but continued "At first I shot Toothless down and thats why he is missing a flap on his tail if you noticed, but one incident he wasn't able to save all of me" He said tapping his prosthetic leg.

"Oh..well its nice that your alive" I said  but then froze. Stupid stupid stupid! Why did I say that!? I mentally banged my head off the wall and whinned.

"Speaking about Toothless where is he?" Hiccup muttered. I stopped torturing myself and stood up straight.

"Let's go look for him, I didn't see him upstairs or anything" I said grabbing my napsack that was on the chair "let's go" Just when I was about to go out the door Hiccup stopped me.

"Rate now? Dude its like..-"

"I know I know, it's dark outside. But what if he's in trouble" He sighed and grabbed his face.

"Okay, but shouldn't we bring Nightspear?" He asked.

"Naah let him sleep, he needs all the sleep he can get" I said and followed Hiccup out the door.

"If you say so" He muttered.

-----------------

"Toothless where are you!" Hiccup yelled as we walked through the thick forest. Where would he have gone?

"Where could he have gone?"

"Ha, I was just thinking that!" Hiccup gave me a look and my smile dropped "sorry, I'm not good with awkward silence-or any silence"

"It's fine, I just hope he's ok" My dragon eye sense turned on as I looked around in the dark,  only to see nothing but trees and squirrels eating nuts.

"Hey Y/n, I got a question to ask you" Hiccup said to me as I slipped past a tree that was in my way.

"Yes..?" I muttered. He was about to say something but I quickly pushed him into a tree "Watch out!" A huge bear trap flung in the air as it went off and fell to the ground with a thick stick in its hold.

"Whoa! How did you see that?!" He said in shock while staring at me.

"Uh..I don't know.." I said in a dumb tone.

"C'mon Y/n that's like the fifth one you spotted in a hour!" He chuckled and moved away from the tree. "That reminds me! Why are your eyes so..different?" I froze as we kept on walking.

"Mm.."

"Well..? I mean if you don't want to tell me it's fine, but I'm curious" He said in a sad type of tone.

"I'm sorry.. I just met you and all.."

"Personal..?" He said and I nodded "I get it, but I would like to know more about you- and your dragon" He laughed and I followed.

"You'll just have to-" I stopped as I seen something black covering the ground in the distance. Hiccup asked me what was wrong but all I did was point to the direction were the thing lied down.

"What is that?" He said spying the creature with the torch in his hand "could that be.."

"Toothless!" We both yelled as we ran to his direction. His body didn't move as we got closer.

"Oh no what happened buddy!" Hiccup yelled as his eyes started to tear up. A arrow in his leg with a peice of paper wrapped around it stuck out.

"Hiccup.." I said quietly as I pointed to it "we gotta read it.."

"First we need to take it out before it gets infected" Hiccup said and he got up and touched the leg "Sorry bud this is gonna hurt" Hiccup gripped the arrow and yanked it out. Toothless roared in pain as his head flopped back down. I quickly dug through my napsack and pulled out a cloth, putting a special type of medical leaf on the wrap and stuck on Toothless's leg.

"Um Y/n.." Hiccup muttered. I got up and looked at him handing the note to me. "What does this mean?" I grabbed it and unrolled the paper. The first three words made me jump and drop the paper.

"No! No, how?!" Hiccup picked up the role again and read out loud.

'We found you...And you can't run'
