Chapter Six
"NᎾᏔ ᏟᎪN ᏔᎬ ᎻᎪᏙᎬ ᎾᏌᎡ ᎾNᎬ FᏌᏟKᏆNᏩ ᏴᎬᎬᎡ, ᎠᎪᎠ?"

Hiccup let out a sigh as he pushed the elevator button to go up. He turned around, walking towards Mulan as they waited for the elevator to arrive. "Well, that was exactly as painful as I expected it to be." He said.

Mulan chuckled as she fixed the collar of his shirt. "Sorry." She smiled as he chuckled. She rose to her tiptoes, kissing his lips.

"Oh, rice pudding!" Eugene called out as he and Rapunzel made their way to the elevator. "What are you doing?" He asked as they stood beside the couple-to-be.

Hiccup sarcastically laughed. "Very funny, Eugene." He softly smiled.

"Be nice, Eugene. He's extra sensitive tonight." Mulan said, gently placing her hand on his chest and cuddling close to him. She felt bad that Hiccup had to go through her father's tortuous words.

"Get over it. He's your father-in-law. He's supposed to hate you." Eugene said. If he played it off, maybe Hiccup wouldn't take the abuse so badly.

But instead of laughing or saying he was right, Hiccup looked at Mulan with a soft frown.

"Come have a drink with me and the guys." Eugene offered. He wanted to make Hiccup feel better. What he went through tonight was awful and he needed to end the night on a good note.

"Ya know, I'm really exhausted. We're just gonna go upstairs and crash." He said, pulling Mulan closer to him.

"Come on, I just spoke with the manager. He's gonna let us have a bonfire on the beach." Eugene persisted. He really wanted Hiccup to come out and enjoy one of his last few nights as a bachelor. He earned it after all.

"That sounds fun." Mulan said. She wanted Hiccup to forget about her father for at least an hour. Going out with his friends would be a good thing for him.

Hiccup pulled back his lips and let out a painful groan. "Nah. I'm good." He was not going to risk anything tonight. Even if it was just a beach bonfire.

"He's tired." Rapunzel said, looking up at Eugene.

"Hic." Mulan said, looking up into his green eyes. "One drink with your friends. They came all this way."

"I just wanna hang out with you."

"Oh, come on, just go and do me a favor: Take Teddy with you." Mulan said as she rubbed her hands on his shoulder while his hands rested on her hips. She glanced over to the side, seeing Teddy typing on his laptop. "He never gets to have any fun."

"That is a great idea. Bring the kid." Eugene said. He didn't care what it took to get Hiccup to come along. If it meant taking Teddy, Eugene was down for it.

"All right. One drink." Hiccup agreed with a smile.

"Perfect." Mulan said.

"See?" Eugene said, looking at Rapunzel.

"You win." She sighed, kissing his lips. The elevator arrived, letting out a soft ding as the doors opened.
