Hiccup x oc oneshots

172- a thousand years

Listen to the song as you read.

Hiccup and south start out as 5 year olds

Hiccup's p.o.v

The day we met
Frozen, I held my breath

"Hiya!" I turn around, seeing a girl my age. Her hair is tied in pigtails, and she's wearing dungarees over a pink shirt
"Hello" I say. She smiles brightly at me
"My name is south! What's yours?"
"Hiccup..." she giggles
"That's a strange name! Do you wanna be my best friend, hiccup?"
"O-Okay..." then, a booming voice comes from the house we are stood in front of.
"SOUTH! GET IN HERE!" She jumps
"Oh, no! I gotta go. Bye bye, hiccup" she kisses my cheek and runs into the house. My dad approached me
"You got a girlfriend now, eh hiccup?" He teases.
"N-not my girlfriend, daddy..." he chuckles.

Right from the start
I knew it I found a home for my heart
Beats fast
Colours and promises

"I promise that you're safe here, south." I say comfortingly to my best friend, ignoring the tingle in my chest as she leans against me, swiping the tears off her bruised cheek
"P-promise?"
"Promise. He can't hurt you when you're with me"

How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

"South... I have to tell you something" I tell her sadly. She looks up from her book.
"Hicc... what happened?" She asks softly, placing her book down and cradling my face. I let out a small sob.
"I... I started losing weight, and... and a few days ago, I started getting dizzy, and I couldn't breath... I was coughing up blood..." I say, shaking. Her arms tighten
"W-What are you saying?"
"My dad took me to the emergency room. T-they found tumours in my lungs, and they've spread to my left leg"
"No... no please tell me you're joking" she cries desperately
"No, I'm not... I have cancer, South. I'm dying" I sob. South starts crying
"Hiccup, I cant lose you... tell me that you're
Going to fight this" I nod
"Yeah... I'm gonna try as hard as I can to stick around and annoy you for a very long time" She lets out a breathless laugh.
"You're gonna be okay. I know it. You're too damn stubborn to die"
"Yeah... lets just hope thy it's enough"

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

"Are you ready?" South asks. I nod slowly
"I think so... it's gonna be weird, my having a leg"
"I'll help you through it" the medicine begins to take effect, and I drift away. It's probably just my conscious, but I could have sworn I heard south say 'I love you, hiccup'

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer

"South!" I cry, running further into the bedroom, where I have found her, naked, bruised and from the looks of it, not breathing. I collapse down next to her and place my head just above her breasts, thankful for the slow, weak intake of air and the slow thudding I'd hear heart. I dial an ambulance and wrap her cold body in a blanket.
"Who did this to her?" The paramedic says, astonished
"I found her like this" I sob as the paramedics work over her. She's taken to the hospital, so I call Gobber, cleaning up the blood on her soft grey carpet
"Hey laddie. What's up?"
"I... I need to take a few days off work" I choke
"...another round of chemo?" He asks. I've been having chemo to clear the tumours from my lungs
"No, that's next week. South... south was attacked. I found her, naked, bruised and unconscious on her bedroom floor"
"Oh my Thor... I'm on my way" he hangs up. I keep cleaning, fighting the weakness that travels through me, and the nausea. I just push it back.
"Laddie" I hear Gobber say behind me. I turn around a little
"Gobber..." I let out a sob and crash into him. My father is fine a lot, and doesn't pay much attention to me. Gobber is my saving grace, apart from south of course.
"Oh laddie... I've got you" he whispers as I cry. He runs his hand through my hair, and then freezes. I pull back, wondering what's up.
Then I see the chunk of auburn hair in his hand. I start to cry again. My hair is my cover, my confidence, and now I won't have it anymore. My body rocks with sobs, the desperate sounds clawing out of my weakened lungs.
"Come on, laddie. Come on" he helps me up. I keep crying as he leads me to his car and drives me to the hospital. We wait in the waiting room for some time, until we're called in. We find south, awake. She's looking down at her hands.
"South..." I whisper. She looks up, and begins to tear up
"I'm sorry" she whispers. I shake my head
"No, south. What are you sorry for?" I slide into the bed and cradle her. Gobber leaves to give us privacy
"What was Gobber doing here?"
"I called him. I've cleaned your carpet, and lost a chunk of my hair. I'm not having a very good day" she snorts
"Neither have I. Wait... your hair..." she whispers. I sigh and run my hand through it, producing another chunk. She sighs, plucking the hair from my hand and closing it in her hand, holding that hand against her chest. I watch her, gently running my own finger through her hair
"We really are a miserable pair, aren't we?" I murmur. She chokes out a giggle
"Yeah, we are"
