Hidden Fury (Astrid x Male!Reader)

[5] Dragons

*Second Person POV*

Astrid led you outside. The others following behind. The first thing you notice about the town outside is how damaged everything looks. People, no scratch that, Vikings milled about from place to place. All of them looked to be busy doing something. Some repairing houses, some cleaning the homes of debris, and others moving supplies place to place.

        You also saw some flashes of color here and there. You gasped once you realized what the colors really were. They were dragons! Dragons of different shapes and sizes! Helping out the Vikings carry large heavy loads or move wood onto torn roofs. Some Vikings are even flying on the great beasts!

"Cool, huh?" Said Astrid watching them work on the town. You nodded speechless. "I have someone who would like to meet you." Astrid said.

        You looked at her with a eyebrow raised. You suddenly flinched away from Astrid as she let out a ear piercing whistle. You rubbed your ears and glared at Astrid for not warning you. You soon realized that everyone was watching you closely. You were about to ask why they were until a loud squawk sounded from the roof of the house. You looked up there to see a teal dragon with a white underbelly glide down from the top of the house.

"I bet he'll be scared of her." You heard Snotlout say to the others behind you. You just stared at the dragon as it came towards you. The dragon kept jerking its head in a bird like fashion. It also kept sniffing the air and seemed to approach with caution towards you. When it finally stopped in front of you and stared at you with its big eyes. You could feel the stares of the others waiting for your reaction. Maybe cowering in fear, petrified in horror, or simply yelp and back away.

        Instead, what they got was the opposite of what they were expecting of a guy who lost his memories, and has a dragon larger than him looking him up and down. You smiled and put a hand out to the dragon, as if you were asking it permission to pet it.

        The dragon looked at your hand for a moment, contemplating it. Before it decided that you're not going to hurt it, and rubbed its head against your hand while making small happy squawks. You laughed even more as you rubbed the dragon's smooth scales with one hand and scratched it behind the crown of spines with the other. Making louder happy squawking sounds erupt from its throat. You look up to find surprised and dumbfounded looks on the others faces.

"I certainly didn't expect that." Fishlegs said first.

"Me neither. I thought he would've coward." Astrid admitted. Snotlout just stared with his mouth open.

"Interesting," was all Hiccup had to say.

"What?" You asked them, clearly confused on why they're so surprised.

"Usually people are not so... trusting of dragons." Explained Fishlegs. You frowned.

"Why would they?" You asked puzzled as you looked back down at the loudly squawking dragon. You smiled again. "This one here seems to be friendly." The dragon let out a louder squawk, if that was even possible, to your remark.

"Stormfly usually isn't like that around strangers." Astrid pointed out.

"I would like to see him do it to Hookfang." Snotlout commented.

"Wait, so you all have dragons?" You asked them. In which they all responded by smiling and letting out a loud whistle. You flinched.

        "What's with you guys and whistling without warning!" You complained rubbing your ears. Loud flapping noises sounded from above before three different dragons landed by their respected owners.

Fishleg's is a... beefy brown four-legged dragon that stands close to the ground. It also has bumps covering its body and tiny wings that defy flying logic.

Snotlout's orange dragon is the biggest of them all. With a bat like structure (walks on its two wings and 2 legs) and crooked spikes running down the length of its back ending in a frilled tail.

Last but not least, is Hiccup's sleek black dragon. It walks on all fours and you also notice that one of its fin's looks to be replaced with some sort of prosthetic.

"Woah," You breathed in awe.

"Mine's the awesome Monstrous Nightmare, Hookfang." Snotlout bragged. Hookfang knocked his helmet off his head. "Hey!"

"Mine's the loving Gronckle, Meatlug. She's so sweet." Fishlegs said while Meatlug nuzzled his arm. You looked down and noticed that Stormfly wasn't next to you anymore. Instead she was by Astrid's side.

"My girl Stormfly here is a Deadly Nadder." Astrid said with pride and scratched behind Stormfly's spines making the Nadder squawk happily.

"And my bud Toothless is the one and only Nightfury." Hiccup smiled as Toothless playfully pushed Hiccup in his side with his head. You frowned at Hiccup's words. Though you didn't know the reason why. Maybe because Toothless being the last of his kind is a bit sad to you. If you think about it, he's the last generation of his kind. Once he goes, there's no more Nightfuries.

"What's wrong?" Hiccup asked noticing your face. You shook your head.

"Nothing." You replied. Hiccup stared at you for a moment before shrugging. Though, you noticed Astrid gave you a suspicious look out of the corner of your eye.

"Well, why don't we give you a tour of Berk since you're staying here." Hiccup clapped his hands together.

"Till you get your memory back." Astrid added earning a glare from Hiccup. You smiled anyway.

"Sounds like fun!" You said with excitement.
