You Know The Truth

For DragonGirl2003

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are both 19

*****************

"I love you, my sweet," Hiccup cooed, rubbing his nose against yours.

You giggled and hid your blushing face in the crook of his neck. "I love you, too," you whispered, shyly.

He chuckled at your adorableness and rubbed your back, gently. The village was extra noisy today, and the strong wind pounded again the wall and rattled the door, but neither of you paid attention to it.

Hiccup listened to your steady breathing as you fell asleep, laying on top of him. You moved in your sleep, which pleased Hiccup because he could see your sleeping face.

All your stressors vanished as you slept. Your face softly took in a breath than released a breath, repeating the soothing pattern again and again. Hiccup smiled softly, letting your almost inaudible puffs of air soothe him and his worries. He would be fine with you by his side. That he was sure of. You looked like a little innocent child with not a single worry.

If only that was true.

Your haunting past was no secret to Hiccup, which is why he constantly fretted over the silliest of tasks. He was extra careful not to raise his voice around you, since it frightened you dearly. He was also careful not to show anger, knowing you thought anger always meant you were to get a beating. He went out of his way to make sure you felt comfortable and safe at all times.

Hiccup had made sure that your uncle would never hurt you again. Your uncle was found guilty for child abuse and neglect and shipped off the face of the earth. Now, Hiccup just had to teach you that you were safe.

Seeing you like this, so peaceful and relaxed in his arms, made him confident he could do this. He could do anything, as long as he had you.

He got out from under you, careful not to wake you, and walked to the kitchen, leaving you to your peaceful dreams on the couch.

********************

"I love you, Hiccup," you giggled, watching as he played with your fingers. He was leaning against a rock with your back to his chest. He had taken you to the cove for a picnic date, which you loved.

Suddenly, he squeezed your hands tightly, making you wince in pain.

"Well, I hate you," he spat in your ear.

You were quick to scramble a few feet away, almost unable to believe your ears.

"You pathetic brat," you heard your uncle's words, his voice, but the person before you was still Hiccup. His evil words were coming from Hiccup's lips.

You let out a sob. "H- Hic-"

"Don't even say my name, you filthy pig!" he cut you off. "Don't even look at me, you ugly troll!"

You walked backwards as he quickly walked towards you. You found yourself on the ground after tripping, as vulnerable as a child. "P- p- please!" you begged.

"Shut up!" he yelled, kicking your head to the ground.

You curled up in a tight protective ball as the boy you trusted kicked, hit, and punched you to his heart's content.

"(Y/ N)! (N/N), wake up!" a kind voice shook you awake. "Wake up, love. Wake up."

You bolted into a sitting position and took in your surroundings. At the sight of a worried Hiccup, you cowered away. He looked hurt, but you were too busy shielding your face from imaginary danger to notice.
