Plot: Merida's dad is gonna meet Hiccup.

Hiccup

"Okay Hic, stop muttering and stammering yer words for goodness' sake! Tell me what ye gonna say!" She shotted impatiently.

Is this the right time to confess my feelings for her? We're both actually 26 now, and still, I'm nervous for asking her to be my girlfriend.

I turned my back at her. "What if she rejects me? What if I'm too late? What if it might break our friendship? What if she don't like me back? What if..." I muttered, not loud for Merida to hear.

GAWD! ENOUGH OF WHAT IFS!!! YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING! PLUS, MERIDA IS BEHIND YOU, WAITING FOR YOU TO BLURT IT OUT... My thought shouted at me.

I bit my lip and turned back to Merida. "Merida, you know, since we're 8, I had a crush on you. And when we turned 18, I realized that I don't like you, because I'm in love with you..." I confessed, but paused.

She pursed her lips and swear, I saw her cheeks turned red. "Point?" She asked.

"Will you be my girlfriend??" I asked, as the weigh on my shoulders decreased in relief, but yet nervous.

She smiled sadly. "Ye know, aye really want to, but before Aye answer ye, Mah dad told me to make him meet the person that will court meh, which is ye, so... Can ye please go to mah house later after dismissal to meet mah dad?" She asked.

I smiled slightly. "Okay." I stated.

**after dismissal**

I wore a green shirt, brown jacket, and grey pants. Then, I slipped my foot in my leather shoes before leaving my house.

**in front of Merida's house**

I checked myself in my small mirror, to see if I had a dirt on my face before pressing the doorbell.

The door opened, revealing an enormous man, same as my dad. He had red curly hair and blue eyes, same as Merida. "What's yer purpose?" He asked with Scottish accent, same as Merida.

It must be her dad. I thought.

**ackward silence**

"Err... Is Merida... t-there??" I asked, kinda nervous at Mr. Dad's personality.

"Hay, did someone said mah nam-- Oh, Hi Hiccup!" Mer greeted, after she went in their house porch.

"Hi..." I greeted back, as I tugged my collar so I can swallow the lump in my throat easily.

"Merida, who's he?" Her dad asked her sternly.

"Oh, right, Dad, he's Hiccup." She introduced me ackwardly.

"Oh..." Mr. Dad said and went back in their house.

Merida looked at me. "That means 'come in'." She whispered. I nodded and went in.

**in their living room**

I sat down on the couch, beside Merida, and in front of Mr. Dad. He sure looks tough... and kinda scary.

Merida bit her lip the entire time I got in. "Uhh... Hic, won't ye tell dad?" She asked, nervous too.

"Tell me what?" Mr. Dad asked.

"Hiccup..." Merida whined at me silently, elbowing me lightly.

"Oh, uh... I would like to... ask a permission, Mr. Dad." I started.

"Call me Fergus, son." He stated and I nodded.

"Fergus... I... want your daughter to be my girlfriend." I told him nervously.

He sat there, shocked. "Hiccup, there's a plenty of girls there, but why Merida? Why my daughter??" He asked.

"Because... When we're teenagers, I fell in love with her for some... reason, and if I truly love her, I'll ask her to be my girlfriend in the right time. I know, Merida isn't able to had a boyfriend before, but now, please. You're already in the first place, so... Can I be in the second place in her heart?" I told him and asked afterwards, fidgeting my index fingers together.

"Do ye... really love mah daughter, because I'm not that father who just abandon my daughter to other people?" He asked again.

I sighed. "Fergus, she's one of the reasons why I still exists in this world. She was like... my oxygen, because I can't live without her. And she was like a sunshine that barged in the rain. And Fergus, please accept me, because I'm not like the other boys who play feelings. I may not be the perfect guy, but I will try, because she deserves it. I love Merida, your only daughter, and I mean it. So can you please agree?" I asked afterwards again.

But then, an unexpected thing happened.

He laughed like a kid seeing a nude person. "Haha... I love your attitude, Hiccup. And yeah, I will agree." He answered.

"Yes~" Merida squeaked and hugged me. I hugged back and sighed in relief.

Fergus stood up. "But still, don't hurt, cheat, or break my daughter, if you really tried to be a perfect guy." He warned and left.

"Hic, nice speech." I heard Mer giggled.

"Yeah. Glad he agreed."
