Fan fiction (Rise of the Brave Frozen Tangled Dragons)

My Peeta Mellark

Merida's POV:

"Yes Cass, she'll want to see you. you always cheer her up, whereas I make things worse most of the time!" Cass finally agrees to go see Punzie with me later today. I hang up and sigh. Maybe I'll go see if Hiccup has any more books for me. I ended up loving The Hunger Games. I'm about to stand up when I get a text.

Hi, it's Astrid. I'm sorry, I saw your number in Hiccup's contact list. I have to go to an event with my girlfriend, Hiccup could use a friendly face, will you come see him in the hospital?

Without responding the text I gather my stuff and go downstairs. My mum and dad are away and the wee devils are at some kid's house so I just speed out to the car. I get in and start the car. I'm coming, Hicc!

I get to the hospital and barge in through the front door "I'm here to see Hiccup Horrendous Haddock!" the lady at the counter doesn't look up.

"Are you family?" I gulp

"Well. . . no, but-"

"You can't go in!" the lady snaps. I groan and mess up my hair a bit then instantly regret it. I still might get in to see him and I never thought I'd say this, but I want to look good for him. "She can come in. She's a friend of my son's." I look up at the big man with red hair, he looks like my dad. I smile and he gestures for me to go with him.

We go into the hallway and I find a bathroom to fix my hair. After that he takes me to Hiccup's room. I've never been afraid of hospitals, the most I would get was a flu shot, but as I take in the sight of Hiccup, I'm terrified. I take in the room, a tray with bread on a little table, a stack of books, then I look at him and gasp.

I rush to his side. His face is bruised and cut and he's got a bunch of machines around him. His eyes are closed and for a second I want to cry. Then he opens his eyes and I want to cry even more, they are the saddest eyes I have ever seen. "I'll leave you two to talk." I barely register Hiccup's dad leaving, I can only see him right now. Hiccup smiles a little "Hi, Mer." I let out a weird noise, somewhere between a gasp and a sob. "Hey, Hiccup. What happened?" he scowls

"I got run over." This time I do sob as I shake my head

"How, Hicc. . . tell me-"

"I was walking Toothless and this car came out of nowhere. I think the guy was drunk." his scowl deepens "I blacked out and then woke up here this morning." his hands are resting on his chest, he shakily begins to lift one finger "Hold my hand. . . please." I nod and grab his hand, the dragon now has a jagged cut on it's tail, like if it were coming off. He looks at our hands and smiles "I like your braid, by the way." I reach up and touch my side braid, it took me so long to get it to stay.

"I loved the book Hiccup! Thank you." he smirks but then grimaces

"I knew you would. You remind me a lot of Katniss. I can't wait to see who you'll choose to be Peeta." How is this brilliant kid so stupid?

"Well. . ." I begin "he has to be somebody kind," Hiccup gives a minuscule nod "someone I really, really like. . ." he's not getting it so I finally say "Hiccup?" he looks up from our hands that are still intertwined. "Did you only get bruised by the car?" he shakes his head and blushes

"No, I broke my ribs and one of my legs, the other one they had to amputa- oh." I laugh
"Yeah, you'rePeeta!" then
"You're an idiot Hicc!" he laughs too but stops and whispers "My ribs. . . I'm sorry." I shake my head

"It's okay. You need rest. I'll be back tomorrow." I take my hand out of his and begin to walk to the door "Remember," I turn around to look at hm "We're madly in love, so it's alright to kiss me anytime you feel like it." I scoff but still make my way over yo him. I grab his tattooed hand and kiss it lightly. "You'll get more when your face is better!" I say and walk out without looking back

On the drive home I think about Hiccup and how I don't want to love him. Yet, here I am, hopelessly falling for him. When I  pull into the driveway my mum is waiting for me, arms crossed. "Where have you been?" I step out of the car

"I was visiting a friend Mum." she shakes her head

"What was so important that you left without leaving as note?!" she's yelling now and my anger is bubbling inside my chest

"HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL MUM! AND I REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS GUY MUM!" her face softens

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." She's acting way too calm. One minute ago she was screaming, now she's being calm, affectionate even. She puts her arm around me "Let's go, before your father and your brothers finish all the food." I want to ask her if something's wrong, but this never happens. I want her to stay in this good mood. She hasn't acted this way since she tossed my bow into the fire a few years ago.

We walk into the kitchen and half the food is gone.  "Wha- I had ten cupcakes here! Where did the other six go?!" my mum screeches, I lift the tablecloth a little and smirk at my brothers' chocolate covered faces. She gives up and we all sit down for dinner.

"Where were you Merida?" My dad's tone is angry, have my parents switched roles?

"Fergus. . . she was visiting a sick friend." my mum turns to me "We you not sweetheart?" I nod, my mouth full of steak "Merida!" my mum snaps "Chew slower!" I swallow. She's back to her normal self.

Later that night I'm ready to go to bed. I pull on an old t shirt and some boxer shorts. I walk into my room and nearly jump out of my skin, my mother is sitting on my bed. "Merida. . ." she says "tell me about this guy that you went to see. Is he the actor from the movie? I saw that article." I knew this was coming!

I shake my head. "No Mum, Hiccup works at the same book store you used to." my mum nods

"I knew a boy named Hiccup. Brown hair and glasses?" I nod my mother giggles like a schoolgirl

"I like that boy. Why is he sick?" I throw myself on the bed

"We can talk about it another day!" My mother stands up

"Okay. I'm just thrilled. I have seen you happier these past few weeks than ever." she kisses my forehead and leaves.

I lie back. I've only ever had one boyfriend, he didn't last though. I want to think that if Hiccup and I do end up liking each other, really liking each other, it will last more than two days. Tomorrow I will go to see him and I will find out.

So, I got asked recently to do some more of these two dorks. Here you go, you're welcome.

JK, I love you guys so much.

Be good, don't get arrested and eat a lot of Christmas cookies
