Deadly skies (Astrid X Male!Reader)

[5] Man in leather

A/N: Hello all, sorry about not posting in a while I have recently started a new year at school and have already been stacked with new assignments. I will try to make up for it and post as much as I can. Speaking of thank you all so much for reaching 140+ reads, I was just expecting a few people to read it. Anyway thank you guys so much, now enough of my delaying time to jump back in...

*second person POV*

A man dressed completely in leather walked into the room, chestnut brown hair slightly mangled but somehow fitting. He seemed to be staring at you with his soft Hazel green eyes, before they became sharp as he turned to look at the others. "What on earth are you muttonheads doing?! Why is this man tied up? And what was with all the yelling?" His words were strong, yet they seemed forgiving towards you. 'Maybe he hasn't been told' you thought, your heading starting to hurt again.

Astrid was the first to speak up, which was no surprise to you as fishlegs seemed to be stuttering and Snotlout appeared like he was at a loss for words. "We caught him sneaking around, he was eavesdropping on a private conversation between myself and Valka" You opened your mouth so say something only to be interrupted.

"Why is he covered in bandages?" The man in leather looked at you with curiosity, unknown of what to think. His tone seemed slightly lighter this time around. "Did he fight any of you? Are you all alright?"

Fishlegs seemed to intervene this time "we're all fine, Meatlug found him in the forest. He was buried under a large number of trees and we guess that he may have been trapped during part of Odin's Ghost if not most." Your eyes widened slightly 'Odin's ghost?' you remained silent having learnt more information in the past few seconds than you did when being interrogated. "We brought him back and bandaged him up, we couldn't have just left him there"

Hiccup nodded at this giving an almost sympathetic look towards you "I see, so he is tied up why?" Astrid rolled her eyes and walked towards the man, whispering to him. Well whispering was an understatement it seemed a lot louder than whispering to you.

"Because he was snooping around, and listening in our conversations. Furthermore I don't think I need to remind you what happened last time we 'rescued' someone who was hurt" She gestured towards you, feeling uncomfortable you turned away only to see Snotlout doing the 'intimidating stare' again. You naturally lean back, which he takes as a sign that your being intimidated. He leans in more towards you, making you feel even more uncomfortable.

"Snotlout you muttonhead leave the poor man alone, in fact why don't we untie him and then ask him questions. Cause this whole interrogation thing doesn't work for developing trust with anyone" You smiled slightly at the man's words, earning a glare from Astrid. "First things first though I'm Hiccup this is..."

Before Hiccup can say anything else you speak up "Astrid, Fishlegs and Snotlout" Fishlegs and Snotlout seemed surprised, Hiccup looked both intrigued and weary.

Astrid had picked up her axe and was now holding it to your neck again "if you can't remember anything, and we've never met you before then how do you know our names?" She pushed the axe closer, you went pale almost immediately you shit your arms trying to pull at the ropes.

"I listened, honest before he came in you had all mentioned your names at least once" You look at Astrid with innocent and pleading eyes, hers returning the gaze only they were filled with rage and fear. "P-please"

Hiccup walked forward and put a hand down on astrid's axe, his eyes were soft and calming. "You don't remember anything? Not even your name?" His hand wrapped tightly around Astrid's axe stopping her from using it on you.

You shake your head "I know my name and that's about it, everything else is either a blur or..." you try thinking about family, your home, even the last thing you ate. All you got in return was a worse migarne than before causing you to moan loudly and lean forward.

Fishlegs seemed to rush over wanting to help you, Hiccup gently placed his hand on your shoulder and stopped you from falling forward. "Are you alright?" Astrid scoffed at Fishlegs and Hiccup.

"Y-yea, just a headache" you softly smile at Hiccup, before feeling the rope around you becoming loose. This caused you to turn around and notice Fishlegs untying you. "Thank you" You move your hands in front of you and stretch them out. "It's (y/n) (l/n) by the way" you gently rubbed where the rope had been rubbing your skin.

Hiccup smiled warmly, everyone was standing and watching you, Snotlout seemed to be acting a little nicer now that you were no longer tied up. Fishlegs and Hiccup both seemed interested to learn about and get to know a new person, Astrid still seemed to not trust you. However unnoticed by you her damena towards you had changed slightly. You decided to break the silence feeling uncomfortable with everyone watching you "I guess I'll go first, where are we?"

Fishlegs jumped in before anyone else could "This is Berk, home of..." Astrid had covered his mouth before he could say anything else, she had a small smirk across her lips, something you barely noticed.

"Home of the hairy hooligan tribe" Astrid fished Fishlegs sentence, the others picking up on her idea and smiling. "The person to my right would be the chief of said tribe" Your eyes widened at this, not because of his size or how he looked. Rather because you had no idea what to expect a chief to look like.

"I know, most people expect a big burly man with a large beard and lots of muscles. A chief who is tough and indestructible" You gently shook your head at this, gently resting your hands on the bed beside you.

"No, a chief shouldn't be expected to be indestructible. That's a fantasy, a chief is only expected to do good by their people. How big or small you are doesn't matter" The words fumbled out of your mouth without you thinking about it, surprising not only the others but yourself in the process. Hiccup smiled at you, in fact everyone was including Astrid. However hers was more subtle. "Did I say something funny?"

"No, the way you think is interesting" You smiled, however unsure on where you got the idea from. "One last question before we take you out, how are you with dragons?"
