The Dog Trainer (Hiccup x Reader) [ModernAU!]

22: Christmas

You peaked through the crevice of the doorway. You saw Henry snoring away on his bed and giggled silently to yourself. It was barely morning, still dark and too early for anyone to be up.

Valka chuckled behind you when Toothless spotted the two of you. He perked his ears but didn't make a noise. You motioned him to be silent while walking in the room. Henry snored sharply before turning over and going back to sleep. Luckily, you saw him in a long sleeve and some pajama joggers peaked out of the blanket.

You whipped out a plastic bowl of whip cream because a can would make too much noise. You used two fingers to scoop out some cream and plopped some on his exposed nose. You took a quick picture while Valka had some fun of her own with streaks.

"I have an even better idea," you whispered.

Valka stood back and watch you as you called over Toothless. Toothless immediately jumped on the bed and licked Henry clean.

"Toothless!" Henry groaned.

You and Valka laughed when Henry finally managed to get Toothless off of him. He glared at you. You only laughed harder since you couldn't take him seriously with the slimy skin and horrible messy hair. You managed to get the whole thing on video.

"You think this is funny?" he remarked to you.

"Hilarious," you corrected while laughing.

He scrambled up and you ran away when you saw he was after you. You heard Valka's faded laugh as you ran down the stairs and away from the rooms. You only managed to get to the living room when you went airborne and your sight was of Henry's backside.

"Time to be punished," he said over his shoulder.

"Wait, wait," you cried out in panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Oh, now you're sorry." He slid the glass door to the back.

"I am, I really--" you were cut off when you found yourself soaking wet from Henry tossing you in the pool. It was heated but it was still cold. You gasped when you came out of the water. Your hair was spilled over your face like a curtain. You pulled it apart in the middle and glared at Henry. He had a smirk on his face with his arms crossed. You still couldn't take him seriously with the messy hair.

"Good morning, beautiful," he smirked.

"Shut up," you scowled as you swam to the edge and lifted yourself up.

He only chuckled, "Go take a shower."

"Didn't I tell you to shut your trap?"

He only rose his hands in the air in surrender as he went inside.

~.~.~

You quickly walked down the steps and into the kitchen where the food was getting set up on the dining table. The food looked amazing and looked like a buffet. Every one of Henry's friends managed to come for lunch as well. Allison was the first one to greet you with a hug.

"Merry Christmas, [Name]!" she cheered.

The rest of the gang echoed her cheer when they saw you.

"Merry Christmas, everyone!" you smiled.

You felt arms wrap around you from behind and a head rested on your shoulder. You craned your neck to see Henry in content with you in his arms. You turned your head back when he cuddled closer to your neck. You tried to hold back a blush since it was public affection.

Oh, and everyone is staring.

"Merry Christmas," he mumbled against your neck.

"Henry," you whispered, "Everyone is staring."

"Let them stare."

"You never show so much affection in front of other. Why the sudden change?" you asked curiously.

He raised his head and gently turned you around to face him. He laid his forehead against yours. "I want to announce it to them that you're my girlfriend. Is that alright?"

You were staring deep into his eye and nodded.

Before Henry could even move, the twins were already ahead of him on it.

"Kiss!" they chanted. Eventually, the whole room started chanting that word.

You and Henry stared at your guys' friend bewildered before turning to each other. You two chuckled and shrugged. Henry dove for a kiss, and he caught you in embrace from the sudden movement. You kissed back with just as much fever. You heard the whole room erupted in cheers. You parted when you start to giggle.

"So, they are together!" Tyler exclaimed.

You heard Henry chuckle as he embraced you into a side hug. You rested a hand on his chest and rested your head on his shoulder.

"Yeah," Henry smiled down at you, "I'm happy to say [Name] is my girlfriend."

"Woe! Go Hiccup!" some of the guys cheered. Fred and the girls gushed and giggled.

"Hiccup?" you repeated.

"Yeah," Henry shrugged, "It's an old nickname. Don't mind them."

"Oh..."

You couldn't help but wonder.

~.~.~

You were answered with a voice machine once again for the forth time that day. You sighed in disappointment, white puffs of your breath fanned from the cold of the outside. It was snowing and you watched it fall from the covered porch. You leaned against the railing with your arms crossed. You felt cold but it helped with cooling you down from what could have been anger.

A blanket suddenly laid against you. You felt hands rub your shoulders and arms for warmth. You looked behind to see Henry smiling at you in comfort.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's my dad," you sighed again.

He took off the blanket from you and wrapped it around himself. He sat down on the cold ground and gestured for you to sit on his lap. You did what he wanted and he wrapped his arms around you with the blanket. You felt so comfortable and didn't want to leave any time soon.

"Is he bugging you again?" he asked as he breathed in your scent.

"No, if anything, he hasn't called in a long time," you answered, "He is annoying but he's still my father. I tried calling him to wish him a merry Christmas but he's not answering."

Henry hummed and you felt the vibration. He continued to comfort you by rubbing your arms again. You breathed in his cologne as you closed your eyes. After a while, you felt gentle kisses ran up from your cheek to your temple.

"Hey, [Name]," he called. You hummed in acknowledgement. "Look."

You looked up and followed his line of sight. Slightly to the side a mistletoe hung just above you two.

"Oh," you awed.

Henry looked down at you and started to lean in. You followed his movement. The two of you met in a gentle kiss.
