Hiccup x Reader: Dragon Whisperer (3)

Chapter 3: Arguments

Hiccup's P.O.V

“What?!” I hesitated and stood up taking the eyes of all the people in the arena. “Seriously dad?! You never told me this … wait…. you never told me anything!” I rage out not caring about the people around me. It was just me and my dad. He just couldn't go around and boss me! I have my own l-

 

“Outside. NOW.” He screamed quietly, interrupting my inner voice, but I knew he was furious about what I said. His face was so close to mine. He was obviously mad….. As always. I just couldn’t stand it, I snapped. Everyone was looking at us. I felt that this was like 5 years ago when I shot down Toothless, yet no believed that’s why I looked like a complete idiot, like what I do now. I looked at my back and saw the girls, two of them were shocked and holding their mouth, on the other hand Miss bad-ass here was laughing.

WOW.

 I’m definitely not gonna pick her if I don’t convince my dad to cancel this. “What were you saying?! You completely embarrassed me in front of the tribes.” He put me down carelessly and again like 5 years ago when he found out about Toothless. Man was I going back? If I was…. things better go better. I spoke back madly.

“I don’t care dad! Why do you even have to do this! This is so unfair!”

“Unfair?” He laughed ‘nervously’.

 “The whole marriage thing is what you want! Have you even asked what I want?! NO! You go tell me what to do, what not to do. Trying to make me be like you…. but I don’t want to be like you! ” (This conversation is from “Brave” but I didn’t take the exact thing ok. So chill) Rephrase, I can’t be like me dad! Like hell I was going to be my – Wait... he was listening?  This is rare… no….. This is the first time he actually did. No interrupting. No mad face. It was all normal.  I want to take this chance and tell all that I want. “You only listen to me when I’m wounded or I’m going to die! Is that what you want?! You want me to d-“

“Of course not son.” Ok. This was weird, he was calm again. He’s not mad or anything. Really. It’s just new to me. “Son, do you know the real meaning why we need you to do this?”

“We?” I asked, calming myself down.

“We, Berkians.” He replied terrifying me. “Why the Berkians, you ask?” I wasn’t just used with this not screaming at my face stuff. Nonetheless, I was happy with it. I nodded and calmed my face. “You see we used to be at war with those tribes, because of the peace you brought to us with the dragons, those six tribes asked how to train them…” he paused because he saw me open my mouth.

“So that’s why you told me to go to those islands. 6 islands have war with us?” I asked surprised. Good thing I did what he told me. But, they still want to unite and all of that stuff? War is so complicated.

“Yes. But those three…. “He gestured to the arena behind him. “ ooh.. They never gave up. Gobber just told everyone that this was our idea but it really isn’t. There weren’t really messages we sent, they were the one who requested it. This was all so sudden! That’s why I didn’t have time to argue with you. I didn’t really have the time to tell you everything. And if we call off the gathering they will emerge another war. “  I just stared at him, not thinking or knowing on what I would do, I hugged my dad. To see so many sacrifices he did for this island, makes me think that it REALLY is a big responsibility.

“What’s the war for anyway?” I suddenly asked. Come on who wouldn’t ask this kind of things?

“Food.” He replied fast.

“F-food? All of this war for …. Food?” my jaw dropped when he slightly nodded. “This is why I told you that the village could use a little less feeding.” I said seriously.

He shook his head. “This isn’t a joke Hiccup.” Instead of having that annoyed and mad face on his face he had this expression I never really saw before. Wait. This was like when he met mom again. Oh man. It was written all over his face. All the hardships he did all over those past wars with the tribes.

“Sorry, dad” I apologize holding back my tears. “And now I know why you always say ‘A chief protects his own’ ”

“I was going to make you remember that especially that you’re going to be the chief” he said smiling.

“And son..” he looked at me carrying me by holding my shoulders.  “I’m proud to call you my son” he had his hearty laugh ringing through my ears.

“I know that dad..” I let out a big sigh. “and.. I agree on doing this.” I looked at my dad with a straight body and I look like a military guy. “There’s going to be war if I don’t right?” I say laughing nervously.

“Yup and you’re really lucky that they gave 6 months to know their daughters…… Actually that was my idea.” He continued. I just gave him a grin and gestured him to go back.

And we did. Everyone looking at us. I was nervous but it was for Berk. It was for my beloved home.

 

Your P.O.V

“What?!” Hiccup hesitated and stood up taking the eyes of all the people in the arena. Mine too.  “Seriously dad?! You never told me this … wait…. you never told me anything!” Wow. I never heard anyone scream like that in the face of Stoick the vast. He was brave. For a talking fish bone.

He was being dragged of by his dad just like that. Ha. My dad can’t do that thing to me anymore because I’m that one who drags him off.  I remember when we had an argument about this marriage thing.

                                          -----------------------------------------------------------------------                                       

“DAD! I DO NOT WANT THIS!!!” I throw the paper back at his face that was showing the message they gave to Berk. They accepted that we should have a competition to have the “prince” of Berk to pick over the three daughters of the tribes. “Even if this is a competition… I WILL not join this! I am a woman of my word dad and you know me well more than anyone...” He was surprisingly quiet. He was listening?! This is the most blessed day of my life. I walk in circles in front of him and kept on talking and giving him reasons why I don’t want to can’t go to this thing. He’s seriously listening. This is unbelievably amazing. I kept talking and at every start I breathe in and breathe out first. I kept looking at the ground so he wouldn’t think of talking. After all the babbling I did I turned my head to his face and he was just smiling. WHHHATT THE F-

“Are you finished honey?” he asked me sincerely. “Yeahh.. Oh wait no no no no… “ He pulled me and made me sit  down on the chair where he was sitting down. I looked like an idiot when I sat down. My hands were reaching up to him and my face was probably priceless. I sighed and just sat down properly. His mouth opened and spoke gently. Man this day isn’t gonna get weirder is it?

“(name), Berk and Jenosai had been in war for years because of land. Not only Berk, Rendivir and Neroks too.”

“Oh here we go with this history stuff.” I huffed in annoyance.  I groaned in my sit and let my body hang around. I heard him sigh yet he continued.

“Those are the only main islands that are in war there 3 more. Which is-“

“I don’t want to know!” (Thanks for interrupting   ) I interrupted because I had enough of this.

“Fine. We have been in war because of food…”

“This is why I told you that the village needs a little less feeding.” People fight for food! Even me! Who wouldn’t? 

“This isn’t a joke (name). “ He suddenly got serious even the atmosphere. Do boys also get mood swings? Guess were about to find out. “Those years were before the Dragon Whisperer came.” He eyed me. Creepy. I know I’m the Dragon Whisperer, ok?  “When you found out your ability we were really happy about it because you led the dragons away. So when winter came, we had the biggest feast that we ever had in 38 years I’ve lived!” he exclaimed and had a big grin on his face.

“So you’re grateful that I’ve shooed the dragons but after a few years, after this ‘Hiccup’ trained and made them their ‘friends’ you screamed at me and kept lecturing me for .. I don’t know how many days, weeks or even months?! ..... Do you even have any idea how hard it was to get them away from and back here?!” I crossed my arms and pouted. Don’t think that I was cute. I was never cute. When I was mad or annoyed, you might want to run if you want to spare your ears. My dad, well in his case, He’s used to it…. Of course 20 years of being with him, wouldn’t he get used to my annoyingly loud voice? Who wouldn’t?

“I know it was hard but you know I understood ya?” he replied trying to calm me down

“Like after a year?!?” I groan in annoyance. Man I’m getting annoyed on going to the past. Seriously………He suddenly pulled me in a hug. Dude. I told this day just gets weirder but he usually did this when I was wee lass. It was sweet. I felt his love again. Not always with the screaming.

“I said I was sorry right? And I’m really grateful that I have you as my daughter.” He pushed me back and carried me on my shoulders. “You’re really famous, even with the fact that you’re being a boy…… “

“Nothing will change……  I will still love you as my little girl”

                            --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that’s the story of how my dad convinced me to this sh-

“Ok back to your places, the Chief and his son stopped arguing.” A guy without a left hand and right foot exclaimed pushing the people to make way for the two. I groaned and narrowed my eyes out of bore. Crossed my arms and let out an annoyed sigh, as usual. It’s become a habit since this marriage thing started. They both sat down, at the freaking same time. That’s kinda like sorcery right? Maybe.

Then this guy who was talking earlier, that was cut off by Mister Fish Bone, started talking again but before this the chief stated that he doesn’t want any interruption anymore.

“Alrighty, now that’s done, Let me explain what the competition will be, and how the competition will be held.” Then a big board came in front of everyone and beside him.

“The first competition will be Hand-to-Hand combat” I saw Hiccup’s jaw drop, enough to fit my fist in. (Not literally but almost) Hiccup was about to talk but his mom told him to shush.

 “The mechanics are simple. You just have to win in Viking wrestle. “ I raised my hand before he could even continue. “Ummm….. yes (name)?” he gestured to me.

“Would this be wrestling among the daughters ONLY?” hoping an answer that is n

“No.” YEEESSSSS!!!! “I forgot to tell you all that this isn’t only to impress Hiccup but to bring pride to each tribe.”

“So…..  that…  means… .. I’m not assuming and all…. But .. yeah.. that…-“

“Hiccup is in the competitions? Yes… yes he is. Sorry for leaving that detail, Hiccup”                            .BOOM.

“What?!” I exclaimed to myself not shocked….. but happy. Finally something fun is gonna happen! I don’t know if I’m happy because I could punch the crap out of him or because I could finally do something worth it in this island? Which is it? Why not both… Oh I’m gonna like this…… sooooooo much. “Thank you.” I smiled innocently to not let them know about my pure happiness.

 Violence has always been my happiness. Violence to people that is. Not to animals. I don’t why I hate him but I just do. There’s that aura from when I saw him that I just hate. I love judging people even if I haven’t talked a word with them yet. (Summary of my real life attitude)

“You’re welcome (name). Mooooving on…. The next ones’ mechanics will be explained on the month before it will be held. I will just tell you the competitions that will be played so you could get ready.”

“This is the worst life ever.” I heard Hiccup mutter. Yup. It definitely is and will be worse. What? Whatever.

“The second one is Archery

Third: Swimming

Fourth: Axe and Mace-throwing

Fifth: Blacksmithing and the sixth, as I said will be a secret until the exact day has come so be ready for anythin’. But as for now, this will be all.” He declared. “You could all go now.”

 “Daughters of each tribe will stay here for a while others may go” The Chief of Berk announced.  Are we going to be here forever?? “Ok. You three. I want you to make a schedule on hanging out with my son. I already talked to him about this so you could just pick your day. You could have him for a whole day every week. Pick your day. Erika?” Stoick explained.

“Ooooohhh…… could I just have him for the whole week?” Wow, that was straight-forward. Hiccup’s eyes widened and ‘What the crap are you saying?’ is written all over his face. Ase saw him too which made them have eye contact and they both blushed. They’re perfect for each other and I have no doubts, whatsoever.

 “Saturdays and Sundays are off the list!” Hiccup confirmed, which made him stand up and point at us.

“Erika just pick a day.” Erika’s dad told her seriously.

“Fine. Tomorrow’s Monday right? If it is then I choose Monday.” She crossed her arms trying to look cute.

“Yes. It is Monday tomorrow.” Hiccup, annoyed, replied.

“Monday it is my (I’m totally weirded out by writing this.) wovey-dovey.” She sent out flying kiss to Hiccup after taking a few steps. “Blacksmithing? Really? I don’t want to get my hands dirty” Erika annoyingly said with her annoying voice by looking and caressing her hands obviously wants to take Hiccup’s attention but she was talking to her dad. Which she did.  And she was making her way out and her hips over-swaying, if you’d call that. She’s good at being a flirt. Is that even a compliment? Maybe.

Stoick gave out a soft sigh and then smiled “What about you Ase? “ he softly asked.

“Wednesday, so that in Tuesday you can a break from this” her voice quiet and cute spoke to Hiccup which he nodded to. Blushing. Who would have thought Hiccup was so cut-. What the crap am I saying? I just shook my head and avoided to look at Hiccup.

“Good luck everyone!” Ase happily screamed and waved at us while she was walking towards her dad. She’s nice. I think we won’t get along that well but friends will be fine. I gave a little wave back at her which she smiled to.

“(Name)? Which day wo-“

“Friday. Can I go now?” I interrupted. Stoick nodded. I finally can get out of here.  My dad just rolled his eyes and looked at me with a mixed expression.

“Raven!” I call out to my dragon which had probably waited for hours outside. After that I ran to the door before she could even go in. Before I jumped to my dragon I answered Hiccup’s question earlier.

“Oh and Hiccup. Yes. Yes she is a Nightfury.”
