I Promise [Jackunzel & Mericcup]

New Dream

Hiccup took a deep breath as he flew in the sky on Toothless. He tries to calm down as Toothless’s ear suddenly slapped his face.

“Toothless! What was that for?!” Hiccup said in surprise.

Toothless tried to imitate him to make him laugh and relax, Hiccup chuckled and finally calmed down, seeing the Kingdom of Dunbroch. He took deep breaths as he landed at the front door of the palace.

He took one last look to Toothless to have some more faith and courage. Toothless moved his claw, telling Hiccup to go inside.

“There’s nothing left for us to do with that girl,” Elinor said. King Fergus kept silent as he sat down on his throne when the front doors suddenly open.

Hiccup takes a peak, making King Fergus stand up in surprise, with anger flowing through the king’s veins. Hiccup took small steps closer to the king and queen.

“What are you doing here? You’re not welcome, here, Viking!” King Fergus said as he took a sword and pointed it to Hiccup.

Hiccup put his arms in front of his face, trying to do something like a defense move in boxing. Elinor tried to calm King Fergus down, and finally, the king put down his sword.

“What do you want, Viking?” the King asked.

Hiccup cleared his throat, “Um… Your highnesses, I know we started off with the wrong foot--…”

“No, you were just too full of yourself that’s why Merida almost died because of you!” The king said.

Hiccup tried to stay calm, slowly getting pissed, “King Fergus, those wounds were from the trees we bumped to in the forest. I never thought this would even happen, but, when we were running away, there was this feeling inside of me that grew deeper for Merida.”

“And you think you’re meant for her? You think she would choose someone like you? You’re too skinny and can’t even hold an aim,” Elinor interrupted.

Hiccup was about to burst, “No, I know I’m not as tough as the other people you enclined with her, but--…”

“You are not even close to being like them! You are useless and worthless when it comes to the battlefield, and with those traits, how do you suppose can you rule this kingdom and protect our Daughter?!” King Fergus said before Hiccup could even finish what he was saying.

Hiccup couldn’t take it anymore, he busted like a volcano in annoyance, “Why won’t you listen to any of us?!”

The king and queen were surprised by the raise of Hiccup’s voice that they didn’t response.

“I’m… not really good with talks… But… Look, I may not be the toughest or strongest, or even the wisest person out there, but I’m willing to do anything for your daughter. She wasn’t really the girl I imagined I’d fall inlove with, I think she never expected to love someone like me, either… But, just look... Just because Merida isn’t the princess that always had poise, elegance and aimed for perfection… That doesn’t mean that she would never rule a kingdom greatly. She’s a brave, independent and skillfull. She strived to let you listen to her even once but you never did, which is why she was forced to be a rebel. She told me her insights and I understand everything she’s been through. I’ve never been accepted by my own dad before. But, I realized that being different was our strength. She just wants you to see the real her and accept that part of her.”

The king and queen looked at each other, feeling guilty for everything they have done to their daughter.

“I may not be the ideal or even perfect man for your daughter, your highnesses… But, I love Merida. I’d give up my life for her and even everything I owned if it meant her life. I would never do anything to hurt her, and neither would I give up on her. Just, please, your highnesses…”
