hiccups p.o.v

walking around the edge at night time has always been peaceful. when literally no one else is awake, not even the dragons. all i can hear is crickets and the gentle roar of the ocean around 100 meters away. as i pass by souths hut, i hear gentle crying coming from inside. i instantly grow concerened, so i quietly open the door to her hut and walk inside. i see south hunched over the side of her bed with her back to me, and it appears she didnt hear me enter.

"south?" i say gently and take a step towards her. she gasps and quickly rubs at her eyes before turning around to face me with a smile.

"hiccup? what brings you here?" i can see straight through her smile, shes trying not to cry. she harshly rubs at her left eye, leaving it red.

"hey, dont do that, you'll hurt yourself. now, whats the matter?" i take her wrists in mine, she turns to look at me with a confused expression, though i know its fake.

"what do you mean? im fine" she smiles again but her eyes are filled with tears

"i may not have known you for very long, but i can see straight through the act, so tell me what has got you upset." a tear runs down her face as she lets out a shaky breath. i raise my hand and wipe the tear away.

"its just... after everything that has happened, and everything i have done, i dont deserve to be a dragon rider." i open my mouth to contradict her, but she raises her hand, signaling that she wants to keep talking

"there are things that... you dont know about me, no one knows about me. im... not exactly as innocent as i seem" she shakes her head, and looks away. i sit beside her and wrap my arm around her shoulders.

"you can tell me anything and i promise i will be open minded okay?" she nods and takes a deep breath.

"i never told you about my past, where i came from." she looks at me

"my parents... they were awful people who did awful things. you may have met my father. shit, i could tell you my full name and you might actually kill me." she breathes out and moves out from my arm.

"south..." she shakes her head.

"my name is south grimborne, daughter of viggo grimborne." she sobs out and buries her head in her hands.

"o-oh..." my reply, not really knowing what to say

"see? im disgusting. its my destiny or my birthright to kill dragons and one day i might snap, so i need to leave and go far away to keep them all safe" she cried out

"no! you dont need to go. i... dont know if i could cope with you not being here." i hold onto her shoulders and move onto the floor, facing her. i slide my hands down her arms and hold onto her smaller ones.

"south, we can get through this. you love dragons, just as much as i do. you are nothing like your father, you are kind, brave, selfless, empathetic, and more. all you got from him was your intellegence. you left them because you could see who they were. one day, you will look back on tonight and think 'hiccup was right, im not like my father.' but until that day, i will be right here beside you, because i am in love with you. i never told you that but its true. i dont... i dont know what i would do if i lost you." i shake my head and look into her brown eyes.

"please tell me you arent saying that to make me feel better" she says shakily, and i shake my head.

"no, im not. im saying it because its true." she stares at me with an unwavering gaze and an expression i dont understand.

"hiccup... i love you too. i never said anything because i thought that you and astrid were together..." she looks away. i chuckle

"me and astrid? i liked her when i was 15 but when i met you, all feelings for her vanished. besides, she never liked me anyway." i smile. by now, our faces are less than an inch apart, so i lean in and make up the remaining distance, pressing my lips to hers. our lips move with passion and as we pull away, she smiles a real, genuine smile.

"you should sleep." i run my hand down her neck and let it rest on her shoulder.

"okay." she presses a small kiss to my cheek and lays down. i lean down and press a kiss against her forhead before walking away. as i am about to leave, i hear a small voice behind me.

"hiccup?" her eyes are closed

"mm?"
"thank you, for everything." she smiles lightly before turning on her side. i smile and walk back to my hut. when i walk in, toothless is awake and staring at me.

he mewls, obviously asking where i'd been. i just grin and shake my head at him. he saunters over to me and licks the side of my face.

"ew toothless. you know that doesnt wash out" i wipe my cheek and flick the spit at him as he does his strange laugh.  i stroke his head before walking towards where my bed is.

"goodnight you insane creature" i chuckle and climb into bed. he mewls goodnight before curling up next to me.
