hey so I just wanted to say, unless you are my sister, if you get the fandom reference in this, pm me cos we should be friends XD

hiccup is 20

south's p.o.v

"south!!" I hear the gentle voice of valka sound from behind me. I turn around to see valka's soft form stood with a wan smile.

"mrs haddock! what can i do for you" she lets out a quiet giggle

"hello south, can we speak for a moment?"

"sure, what's up?"

"i'm worried about hiccup" she says, her tone a little more monotone. I frown

"why? is he alright?" i ask. she nods

"physically, yes, but emotionally, i'm not so sure" my frown deepens

"you see, after the death of his father, he's been so... reserved. go look for him, would you lass? i know he likes ya" she teases me slightly on the last bit, nudging me.

"well, i sure would hope so. would be a bit awkward if he didn't considering we've been married for the past four years" I hold up my hand and show her my wedding band. she gasps.

"why wasn't i told?" she takes my hand and studies the ring. hiccup made our rings himself.

"i don't know, i thought you knew" I smile.

"well, i'm glad you're my daughter in law" she hugs me. i hug her back, surrounded by the free and regal scent. the same one hiccup is shrouded in himself.

"thank you Mrs haddock"

"oh it's just valka, dear. since we are both Mrs haddock apparently." i chuckle.

"well, i'd better go find my husband. where did you see him last?"

"he was up at bucket and mulch's place, trying to help them catch all their sheep" i nod.

"thank you, valka. i'll keep you posted" she nods, and i run down the hill. I spot hiccup, half-heartedly herding a group of sheep towards their pen, tears streaming down his face. I gently walk up behind him and take hold of his arm. he spins around, alarmed, an his face softens when he see's me. he paws at his face, removing his tears and putting on a smile

"hello, love. what can i do for you" I sigh and reach my hands up, gently running my thumbs over his cheeks. his eyes water

"you don't have to hide your tears around me, hiccup. go home. i'll finish this and i'll be back soon. you need rest." I lean up and place my forehead to his. he shakily exhales and shakes his head.

"i'm the chief. i have to help my people" he says in the same tone his dad would use.

"and i'm the chieftess, so I have to watch out for my people and my chief. go home, love. please." he sighs but nods and kisses my forehead.

"thank you. what time will you be home"

"when i finish this for you" I plant a small kiss on his lips before motioning in the direction of our house. he casts me a small smile before walking off in the direction of our house. I finish off with rounding up the sheep before jogging over to our house. I fins his sobbing on our bed. i sit next to him and take him into my arms. he rests his head on my shoulder, leaving wet patches on my dress. technically, i'm a housewife. I stay at home cooking, cleaning, ll of that. hiccup tells me not to, but i love doing it. I wear a soft grey dress that comes to the bottom of my knees, with button going up it that are just here for decoration. the fabric of my dress turns a darker shade of grey, but i don't care. he sobs for all of ten minutes, before slowly quieting down

"sorry" he squeaks. i kiss his head.

"talk to me hiccup. you don't have to hide your emotions from me" i say quietly. it's kind of like he bursts from this point.

"I've tried to put on this front like i'm confident i can do this, but i'm so damn scared! I only spoke the truth at his funeral. i mean, how can i be a good chief when i'm not even a good husband" he cries, clinging onto me.

"what makes you think you're a bad husband?" i sigh into his hair.

"while i get to go out and do things, you're stuck here, cooking and cleaning like some menial housewife!" he reprimands himself.

2hiccup, I love doing those things. I don't know why, it makes me feel like i've done something good. i love nothing more than watching you come home to a clean hose and a nice hot cooked meal, and I can say to myself' i'm the reason he's smiling'. I mean, me and north always had to do that growing up since our father is trader Johann, he never had time to do those things. you don't have to worry about me" i console him. he lets out a shuddered breath

"I'm not a good chief. i'm too weak." he mumbles.

"you're not weak, you're strong. you see it as you being to weak to be cheif, but i see it as you are hiding your pain from your people so they don't worry about you. trust me. your father is so, so proud of you" he breaks out into another round of uncontrollable sobs, and i get an idea.

never mind the darkness

never mind the storm

never mind the blood red moon

the night will be over soon

the night will be over soon.

he looks up, his cries fading. I smile lightly as i continue the song

brush away the sorrow

brush away the tears

sing away your heavy heart

the night will be over soon

the night will be over soon

he sis up straight and watches me with a glint in his eyes as I sing

for every night goes quiet

and every moon grows blue

beyond the dark comes something new

the sun will be rising soon

the sun will be rising soon

the sun will be rising soon.

i conclude the song and look over at hiccup. fresh tears are pouring down his face but he's smiling. I wrote that song years ago, and i would always sing it to him when he was scared during raids, or upset because his dad had called him a failure or people were picking on him. I sung that the day we got married.

"thank you" his voice is hoarse from the sobbing. he holds me close to him. I straddle him, sitting in his lap and burying my head in his neck, breathing in his scent of grass and pine. he holds me tight.

"I love you hiccup. I always will" i whisper to him.

"i love you too. please never forget that" he whispers back, laying down. we end up facing each other, our legs tangled with our stomachs and chests touching. i press a light kiss against his lips before he falls asleep. I watch him for a while, seeing how much more peaceful he looks.

"the night will be over soon"

if you get the reference in this, we should be besties XD
