The Beauty and the Deranged: Dagur x Reader ON HOLD WHILE I WORK ON CHAPTERS

V

Your POV
I boarded the ship with Dagur shortly after I told him my plan to 'infiltrate the riders' and I immediately noticed it was his ship and not my dads.

"Why am I on your ship? And where the fuck is Thor?" I demanded, crossing my arms. He laughed.

"You think your in any position to demand anything?" He hissed, trapping me against the edge of the boat. "Trust me sweetheart, you're in for a rude awakening."

I narrowed my eyes in rage, connecting my fist to his face. "What is wrong with you?!" I hissed. "I'm on your side you bloody idiot! Though you're making it very tempting to knock you over board. Pull your act together and tell me where my father and dragon are. I will not ask nicely again." I barked. The crew members around us immediately backed away, sensing the tension of leader vs leader. I held more power against Dagur in my dads armada, but on his own ship, I don't know if he'll take threats or if the crew members would be happy if I tried to assume leadership. Which I wasn't. Dagur rubbed his jaw in pain, and the punch had caused him to stumble back a little. He huffed in annoyance.

"Your father sent me to retrieve you from the island and is meeting us here." He smoothed out a map and pointed to an island 28 hours away, which was a major Dragon Hunter port and where my father spends most of his time.

"And Thor?" I asked, glancing over at him. He sighed. "Below deck, here's the key. If you take him for a ride stay close, and don't you dare attack us you'll regret it." He reluctantly tossed me a key, and I ran downstairs to see Thor chained and in a cage.

"Oh Thor what have they done to you?" I nearly shouted, flinging the cage up and dropping to my knees, stroking his head. "Let's got for a fly, will that cheer you up?" I asked. He moved his head up the best he could, and I unlocked the chains around him. He stepped out of the cage and stretched his legs and wings, looking a lot happier. I led him above deck, and mounted him. Dagur looked over, and I realized he was going to keep his eye on me. Closely. I looked to the left of me, and saw a fog bank and rock pillars jutting out of the water. Perfect.

"Hey Dagur, I'm going to navigate those pillars and loop around the ship. I won't go to far." I said after walking up to him with Thor. He narrowed his eyes, then hesitantly nodded.

"Alright let's go Thor." I said, patting his neck and he took off, flying straight into the fog bank. We flew into the fog a little, then I said a flaming tail on a lower rock. I told Thor to cling to the rock pillar above them slightly, and I jumped down giving Snotlout and Hiccup a hug.

"I am so relieved you heard my whistle, stayed hidden and deciphered my message." I sighed. "Well it wasn't too hard, thankfully." Hiccup smiled, pulling away. I looked over at Astrid who looked away with a huff.

"Alright So were going to an island about 27 hours away, by ship. It's called Dragon Hunter Island appropriately, and Vigo spends a lot of his time there. I marked it on this map." I went into Thor's saddle bag after gesturing him to fly down to the rock. I gave the map to Hiccup, and he opened it. He nodded, putting it into Toothless' saddle bag and Thor grunted, alerting me of something. I looked over and saw Dagur's ship come into view. "Guys! Hide! Dagur!" I whisper yelled, and they mounted their dragons, flying over to other rocks out of view and clinging onto the side.

"What are you doing?!" Dagur barked. "You've been gone for almost half an hour." He hissed. "So sorry 'chief', Thor got a cramp from being stuck in a cage." I hissed back accusingly. He glared at me. "Get down here. Now!" I jumped onto Thor and he floated down, landing on the boat gently.

"You're not my father so don't act like it." I pushed past him, walking towards the quarters and claiming the room next to Dagur's as mine. Thor was able to walk comfortably below deck and into the room thankfully, and we wandered inside. There was a chair, books, a desk, maps, charts a bed and balcony in the main room, and it had a bathroom attached. I moved a couple of things around to make room for Thor, and he curled up next to the bed. I flopped down with a sigh, closing my eyes. My stomach rumbled and I stood up to get some food. As if on cue, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and it was Dagur. I rolled my eyes with a huff, until I realized he'd brought food.

"I see you found your room. Good, good good. I brought some food for you and Thor, figuring you were hungry." He said with a smile. "Thanks." I replied cautiously. "Well if you need anything, just give me a shout." He said, leaving and closing the door behind him. I carried the tray over to the bed, grabbing the uncooked mutton and throwing it to Thor. He caught it in his jaws and happily ate it.

I picked at my food for a minute, wondering if it was poisoned, then realized it wouldn't be. I rolled my eyes and cut off a piece of the steak and ate it, enjoying the seasonings on it. I'll have to make sure I compliment the cook later. I thought. I ate the rest of the food and drank the water, glancing over at Thor. I noticed he was getting antsy and I laughed.

"Okay, one more ride." I led him back above deck, and it was almost dark now. I saw most of the crewmen had retired for the night, but Dagur and Savage were still out. "I'm taking Thor for another ride, he's getting antsy." I said, walking up on Dagur's left. He looked over at me and nodded. "Don't go to far." Savage warned. I scoffed, mounting up and launched into the sky.

We were adrift above the clouds, and I smiled. "All those years, crammed in a ship or stuck on the land.... hunting you guys." I paused, hugging Thor's neck. "We've lost sight of what really matters. Why is Father so hell bent on trapping and killing dragons? Mom wouldn't want this." I whispered, laying back. Then, and idea came to me. "Back to the ship Boy, I've got a plan."

(Stop Playing Theme or continue, you only needed it for that ^^ part of the story)

He landed silently behind Dagur, who was still awake looking at the water. Savage must've gone to bed, and I softly padded up beside Dagur. We sat in silence for a few seconds, then I turned to him.

"Come with me." I said, offering a hand. He looked a little startled at first, but then took my hand with a small smile. I started walking back over to Thor, and he stopped.

"What are you..."

"Just trust me."  I cut him off. He sighed, letting me lead him again. I mounted Thor and he paused again. "Come on. It's fine, he won't bite." I said with a chuckle. He smiled again, pulling himself up onto Thor.

Thor glanced back at me and I nodded. He calmly lifted up into the air, and Dagur instinctively wrapped his arms around my waist. I blushed slightly, and Thor lifted higher into the sky, breaking the could bank.

"Wow.." Dagur breathed, looking up at the stars. I looked back at him, and he looked down at me. He glanced from my eyes to my lips and back, leaning in closer. And then he kissed me as the sun rose.
