Forgotten Memories - Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III x Reader

h/c=hair colour y/n=your name e/c=eye colour n/n=nickname s/c=skin colour

Hiccup sat in his living room, plans and maps scattered around him in organised chaos as he obsessed over finding Viggo Grimborn’s new Dragon Hunter base. So far, he’d had no luck, despite the fact he had been cooped up in the Hut for almost a week. His team had begun to worry again, that emotion towards their leader having become quite frequent.

His little-to-no-progress was interrupted by the arrival of a Terrible Terror swooping into the large room and depositing a scrolled up piece of parchment on the map of the Outer Archipelago he had been scouring with a detailed eye. Hiccup blinked. He wasn’t expecting any mail, meaning this had to be either bad news, or horrid news. He carefully unravelled the parchment, the cursive script of his most recent adversary scrolled across the page. Hiccup,

I believe I have reached a solution to our little feud that can benefit both our parties. Meet me at the small unnamed island located in the outer reaches of The Sullen Sea and we can discuss the matter. If you do not trust me, let me ease your mind by promising that should you bring your dragons myself nor my men will make any attempt to take the first strike against you. This is purely for business, a temporary truce if you will. Should you agree to this meeting, I will be waiting on my ship by the eastern corner of the island in two days’ time. I sincerely hope you shall consider my proposition.

Viggo Grimborn.

The 18-year-old debated the idea in his head. For all he knew this could all be another trap to lure them into a false sense of security, but on the other hand Viggo was a business man, honest to a fault, especially concerning his feud with the young Dragon Rider. It was decided, he and the team would venture to the small island and hear what the Dragon Hunter had to say, staying on alert at all times and keeping their dragons a safe but callable distance away should a speedy escape be necessary.

Clouds blocked the warmth of the Sun as the Dragon Riders touched down on the small unnamed island, disembarking their dragons and instructing them to stay close but hidden. A boat lay on the shore awaiting them, directed straight at Grimborn’s ship. The ride over was easy enough, and once they had all settled and the ‘formalities’ were out of the way, Viggo spoke to Hiccup, who stood at the front of the group.

“I believe I have come to the perfect solution to terminate this little feud once and for all.” The Viking stated bluntly. “Oh, really? Are you going to give up Dragon Hunting and leave the Archipelago and its surrounding water forever? Cause that’s the only solution I see working out for us.” Hiccup replied without fault, gesturing to his team at his last statement. Viggo only chucked. “No my boy, I’m afraid not. It’s simple really. You leave and my Hunters to do our job in peace, and in return, we will return your friend to you, alive.”

Hiccup stalled slightly at that. Why was Viggo suddenly lying to him? It wasn’t like the Leader of the Hunters to lie to his face, he prided himself on his ability to use his quick wit and honesty to throw Hiccup off whenever they faced off. “Nice try, but all of my friends are here beside me, so either you can cut the crap and stop lying to me, or we can just leave and forget this little waste of time even happened.” The older male chuckled once again, only this time, his tone was darker and, though he did not show it, it sent a chilling shiver down Hiccup’s spine. "Oh really? Then you truly have forgotten her. That’s a shame, she always had such high hopes that someday, someday you might remember how much you once meant to each other. I mean, after all, she stayed by your side all throughout you training that Night Fury, cried at your bedside after your mighty battle, and even made the effort to befriend your newest member and your little girlfriend over there when you first discovered her on that beach all those years ago.”iccup whenever he had the chance. H “H-How do you know about all of that? Only the people pf Berk know about those events.” Behind him, he heard Heather and Astrid gasp, but he didn’t dare turn his eyes away from the man in front of him, especially not as he smirked, as if he knew something that could crush Hiccup in an instant, break his sturdy resolve. “Ah, it seems the traitor and her friend have figured it out. Bring the girl forward, brother. Maybe she will help jog your memory, dear boy.”

Ryker disappeared into the crowd for a short moment, before returning with a body dragging behind him by the hair he had wrapped around his fist. From what Hiccup could tell it was a girl, approximately their age. She had (s/c) skin, pale from her captivity and exposed through the cuts across her clothes and her wrists that were chained behind her back. She was thrown to her knees at Viggo’s feet, her back hunched and her form weak, signifying she had been held against her will for quite some time. Ryker took hold of her (h/c) hair again, yanking it back to bring her face into the light, revealing the gag across her mouth and her (e/c) eyes shining with unshed tears of what Hiccup could only assume was fear. Looking into the (e/c) orbs his mind was suddenly racing with flashbacks from his childhood, his memories clouding his head with visions of the past.

*Flashbacks*

“You know I’ll always be there for you, right Hiccup?” --------------------

“It’s not your fault. Your dad just… he’s struggling to see you for the unique person that you are. He loves you, you know that. He just… doesn’t know how to express it in the best way. -------------------

“Hiccup is that a Night Fury? How is it standing so close to you? What have you done?” “I’m training him. (Y/n) this is Toothless. Toothless, meet (y/n), my best friend in the whole world. She’s been there for me since we were little kids, and I just know you two are gonna get along great.”

*Flashbacks End*

“(Y/n)?” Her name comes out in a whisper, but is heard by everyone on the ship.

“HA! So the boy does remember you. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted sweetheart?” Ryker taunted, his face dangerously close to (y/n)’s face for Hiccup’s liking. “To finally be seen by him again? For him to remember what you meant to each other all those lonely years ago? What it was like to walk around your pathetic little village beside him, be the most important thing in his world? Oh, how you missed the times you could hold him as he vented his sorrows to you into the early hours of the morning. Those sickeningly sweet times you could tell him how much you cared about him and know he cared about you to? How does it feel little one? Is it everything your innocent little heart desired?” He sneered.

Tears slowly slipped from her eyes, making Hiccup’s eyes widen in realisation. They were never tears of fear. Those tears were ones of sadness. The guilt rose within him. How could he forget someone like you? You had always been there for him, been his confidante and his only friend when the rest of the village saw him only as an outcast, a disappointment to the Haddock name.

“It was quite fortunate that I came to meet the lovely (y/n) here. I’m sure you’d love to hear the story Hiccup. You see, I had decided to pay a little visit to your charming village, gather some information about my adversary. Always pays to be prepared. As I approached the forge, I tuned into a conversation between this lovely young lady and the owner of the establishment. Gobber, I believe is his name. Anyway, I only caught part of her words, describing how she ‘couldn’t understand how he could’ve forgotten me. I was his best friend Gobber, and he just cast me aside like I meant nothing to him.’ He carried on like that for a while longer, and I must say I never took you for that kind of person my boy. After some fatherly advice from the old man, I watched as she left the forge and start back up to where I could only assume where her home is located. She was alone, walking across the empty grounds in the dark, so I decided I would keep her company, guide her somewhere warm, and where better than my ship. She became quite the feisty little lass, so unfortunately had to do this to her. Keep her from waking the entire village. Couldn’t have that now could we my dear?” He placed a thick finger on her cheek, slowly dragging it up and down her face, (y/n) not even bothering to fight it. Hiccup’s heart broke as he listened to Viggo’s words, followed by an intense feeling of rage as he watched him place his hand on her delicate face, almost wiping away the constant flow of tears that fell from her eyes.

“Don’t. Touch. Her.” He practically growled, startling his friends and even Viggo. “Oh, suddenly care about her do you? Now that you see what you left to fend for herself without protection or guidance, you feel the need to be there for her? I’m afraid you’re a little too late for that. You declined my offer of an exchange before even seeing what I had to offer, so I no longer have any use for her.” He pulled a knife from his belt and placed it over (y/n)’s neck, a delicate touch to begin with. “You’re going to watch this Hiccup. You and your pathetic friends are going to watch as I slit her pretty little throat and relieve her of her misery.”

As he moved to pull the knife towards him, a roar sounded. From the darkness Toothless glided onto the ship, his tail whipping to smack the knife away from Viggo’s hand and wrap around the trembling form that was (y/n). Everything else passed by so quickly, Hiccup didn’t even registered what was happening until he was on Toothless’ back and speeding away from the ship with (y/n) sitting across his lap and curled away from him, as though trying to place as much distance between them as she was able. They were all silent as they flew back to Dragon’s Edge, where Hiccup rushed to his hut and placed (y/n)’s now unconscious form on the spare bed and assessing her for any serious wounds or broken bones. When he found none, only little bruises here and there and her wrists raw from the chains, he let out a sigh of relief. He stared down at her sleeping form, reaching a hand out to brush the (h/c) lock from her face.

“Is she going to be okay?” Heather asked from the doorway, finally coming in to the room after watching Hiccup’s affectionate display. He nodded his head, turning his gaze away from the girl laying in the bed. “She’ll be fine. She’ll need a few days at least to recover, but after that, she’ll be able to go back to life the way it always has been for her.” “Her life hasn’t always been so lonely Hiccup. You of all people should know that. Did you really forget all about her?” Hiccup hung his head in shame, “Yeah, I really did. I have no idea how, but after I woke up from the battle with the Red Death, she never crossed my mind. Not until I saw her next to that… that… Hunter, looking so small and weak. She hasn’t changed at all since we were 15. Her hair’s longer, but that’s it. Exactly the same.” “Her personality hasn’t changed since I met her either, all those years ago.” Heather reminisced with him. “She welcomed me with open arms when you guys first found me. Regardless of how Astrid felt about me, in fact she was the one who convinced Astrid to give me a chance. She never doubted that I was a good person. Made my decision to cross Alvin all the more easy. But she always had that underlying sadness hidden in her eyes. She rarely let it out around anyone, but I could see it. She talked about you a lot. I think that’s when I noticed the sadness. I never asked her about what happened, I just assumed you guys had some sort of fight and things ended badly. You never spoke about her so I figured it would be stupid to ask you about her, but now I know why. You’ve really hurt her Hiccup, and you better figure out a way to fix this, fast. She’s one of my best friends, and I know deep down she’ll always be yours. You’ve got 3 long years of hurt to make up for, so I suggest you make this priority number one. Astrid and I agreed that we would keep her here until things between you were fixed. Think you can put this Viggo stuff aside for a while to fix your mistake?”

Hiccup sighed, running a hand through his chocolate brown locks. “I’ll do my best Heather, but know there’s no guarantee she’ll ever forgive me for this. I hurt her bad, this is without a doubt the worst thing I’ve ever done. We’ll tell she’ll stay with me while she’s recovering, and I’ll try to make things better. I don’t how, but I forgot how much I cared about her when we were younger. I’ll make this right, I hope.”

Three weeks had passed, and Hiccup had made very little progress with making things better with (y/n). She had started talking to him again, but other than that she avoided him at all costs. She stayed in her room most of the day, unless pulled out by some other member of the team. Hell, she even spent more time with Snotlout than she did with Hiccup, which irked the Viking to no end.

The team seemed to be a little on the fence about how they treated Hiccup in that time. They all knew he hadn’t meant o hurt her, but that didn’t make it excusable. Toothless had even taken to spending a fair amount of time with (y/n). Hiccup could understand that. True to the flashback he’d had on the boat, his two best friends had formed a fast and strong friendship of their own. (Y/n) absolutely adored the playful Night Fury, just as Toothless loved to throw the girl on his back and bounce around the island with her, making her laugh until her sides hurt.

One night, Heather and Astrid had come over for a Girls’ Night In, banishing Hiccup to the living room where he couldn’t hear only their incessant giggling, making him smile for a short while before quickly becoming the most irritating sound in history. Suddenly, the laughter stopped, leaving Hiccup confused. He closed the book he had been reading and quietly made his way to the doorway to (y/n)’s room.

“Seriously (n/n), you should move to The Edge with the rest of us.” He heard Astrid say. “It would take us no time at all to build you a hut of your own, and we could help you find a dragon too. C’mon, what do you say? Will you join our crazy crew?” She finished, mimicking a pirate accent and making (y/n) and Heather giggle. Hiccup’s heart fluttered at the idea of (y/n) staying with them permanently; he still had so much to make up for. “I dunno Astrid. It sounds great, but I have a life back on Berk. Granted it’s not the best life, but I’m content. If I’m gonna be honest with you, I’ve been better since you guys left for The Edge. Not having to see Hiccup every day in the marketplace, or soaring above the village, it’s made it easier to cope. Coming here, spending all day every day with him, would only make things worse for me. I mean it’s clear he doesn’t give a damn about me. He only put on that whole caring act to try and keep them from killing me. It wouldn’t have been such a bad thing when I think about it. Dying. I mean, I don’t matter to anyone, nobody would miss me if I just disappeared, they wouldn’t even care.”

Hiccup had heard enough, he slammed the partially closed door wide open, a resounding bang echoing through the house as it smacked the wall. All three girls’ heads snapped to see a fuming Hiccup, fists clenched and jaw set. “Astrid, Heather, could you two please go back to your huts? I need to have a little chat with (y/n). Alone.”

The two girls quickly stood from their places on the bed, shooting a look to (y/n) that said ‘sorry’ and rushed from the room, closing the front door behind them before Hiccup started talking.

“How could you possibly think that (y/n)? That no one would miss you. The team would miss you, Toothless, my dad, Gobber, they’d all miss you. I… I’d miss you.” (Y/n) scoffed, standing up from the bed. “Don’t kid yourself Hiccup. You wouldn’t miss me? How could you? Up until three weeks ago you didn’t even remember who I was, that I even existed. The others would get over it. They all have friends and family to get them through. I, on the other hand, don’t have anyone. Haven’t since the day you turned your back on me.” “I didn’t mean for that to happen. I don’t know why I forgot about you. I just did. Why didn’t you come up to me, say something?” “Oh yeah like it’s that easy to just walk up to the saviour of Berk and have a casual conversation. I tried Hiccup, many times. It was like you couldn’t even hear me.” “Well, maybe if you had tried harder-” As soon as the words slipped out of his mouth, he knew he’d done it again. He screwed up, and (y/n) had reached her limit.

“I LOVED YOU HICCUP! ALL THROUGH YOU BEING A REJECT AND FEELING UNLOVED BY YOUR DAD, I WAS ALWAYS THERE LOVING YOU! YOU NEVER NOTICED THOUGH, OF COURSE YOU DIDN’T! I WAS ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE, SUPPORTING YOU AND VOWING TO NEVER LEAVE YOUR SIDE AND WHAT DO YOU TURN AROUND AND DO?! YOU LEAVE ME ALONE THE MOMENT PEOPLE STARTED RESPECTING YOU, AS IF I HADN’T DONE THAT FROM THE DAY I MET YOU! I WAS LEFT TO RESTART MY LIFE WITHOUT ANYONE THERE TO CARE ABOUT ME! TO ASK ME IF I WAS OKAY! BECAUSE THE ONE PERSON, THE ONE PERSON I NEVER THOUHT WOULD ABANDON ME DID JUST THAT! YOU ABANONED ME HICCUP! DID YOU EVEN NOTICE WHEN I MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE TO LIVE WITH GOBBER?! DIDN’T YOU EVER WONDER WHY THE BEDROOM NEXT TO YOURS WAS SUDDENLY SO EMPTY?! DID YOU REALISE THAT I WAS SO BROKEN WHEN YOU LEFT ME WITHOUT EVEN AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY?!YOU WERE ALL I HAD, EVEN BEFORE MY DAD WAS KILLED, OR DID YOU FORGET THAT TOO?! GOD, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS BEING IN PAIN I CAN ONLY WONDER HOW I’M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!”

There was dead silence after (y/n) had finished her rant. She stood there, her breathing heavy from all the shouting she had done, before she moved around the room collecting the things she had been given to live away from her home. She stuffed them into the bag she had made and walked past a still frozen Hiccup, heading for the front door. Hiccup seemed to snap out of his trance and followed, asking her where she was going, his voice quiet and almost like a strained squeak. “I’m going to stay the night at Astrid’s, and tomorrow I’m getting her to take me back home to Berk. I think it would be best if we just didn’t interact again, stay apart from each other. That shouldn’t be too hard for you, you’ve had three years practice.” She shot coldly, “Goodbye Hiccup Haddock.”

The use of his last name in her departure made it all the more crushing to hear the thud of the door closing behind her. (Y/n) was gone, and Hiccup never even got the chance to tell her how sorry he was, because once again, he had messed up, and let the most important thing is his life slip away.

The next morning, Hiccup burst from his hut, running as fast as he could in the direction of Astrid’s. He had been up the whole night, thinking about everything that had happened during the fight and sorting through his emotions. He knew what he had to do, and he needed to do it before he lost all his nerve.

When he opened the door to Astrid’s hut, he wasn’t surprised to see the entire gang in the large living room, saying their goodbyes to (y/n). She had made quite the impact of each of their lives, and had them promise they would visit her on Berk soon.

Everyone fell silent when Hiccup appeared in the doorway, but he focussed only on (y/n) striding forward and dodging everyone’s attempts to prevent him from getting any closer. He griped her arms firmly, yet not so hard that he would hurt her. He would never do that again. With his last burst of sleep-deprivation-inspired confidence, he pulled her forward and smashed his lips onto hers. He felt her gaps, taking the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth, trying to coax even the slightest reaction from her. Hearing a satisfying, soft moan and feeling her lips starting to respond to the movement of his, he smiled into the kiss. After a few more moments, he pulled away gently, noses barely brushing against each other and content smiles on both faces.

“I’m sorry (y/n). I’m so, so sorry. I never meant to hurt you in any way,, and it kills me to think of all the pain I’ve put you through over the past three years. Please, give me one more chance. I promise you, I will never hurt you again. I love you far too much to let it happen again. I spent the whole night thinking about it, yes I’m in love with you. Have been since the day I introduce you to Toothless. You are the most important person in my life, and if you would let me, I’d like to become the most important person in yours again.”

(Y/n) looked at him sceptically, “How do I know you won’t break your promise and forget me again? How do I know you won’t hurt me?” “Because I never break my promises, I am never letting you leave my side again and you just know without a doubt that Astrid and Heather would kill me and hand you my remains in a basket if I ever screwed up this bad ever again.” “Don’t you doubt it for a moment, dragon-boy.” Astrid laughed, enjoying the sight before her.

“Alright Hiccup. I’ll give you one more chance, but, you’ve gotta do one more thing for me.” “Anything. Name it and I’ll do it, I promise.” (Y/n) smiled softly, “Kiss me again, you ginormous dork.” Hiccup chuckled at that, “I think that can be arranged, my lady. Come here.” Wrapping his arms around her waist, her hands winding up to clutch gently at his short, soft hair, their lips met again, the promise of a wonderful future being sealed with their kiss.

Forgotten memories restored, treasured for all time, and the promise of many more treasured moment to come in the future, their story began again.

#pushing the aromantic hiccup agenda and also the queerplatonic agenda#as much as the idea of hiccup getting married was always a little off to me it was more the romantic angle#which I why I like the idea of a marriage of alliance and a partner who understands that#and then of course the montage of them being a good team and getting along#and going ‘yeah I like this person. I think this is the person I want to spend my life with.’#also a) a lot of arranged political marriages did have the foreign spouse function as an ambassador#b) polyglot hiccup is canon and I think it would be neat if his spouse was as well. it is a marriage alliance after all.#she isn’t from the small area of berm#(actually give all the Vikings regional accents. I think it’s neat)#c) she/they because I didn’t feel firmly about the partner’s gender and the nords were pretty gender diverse#anyway I think the partner would probably be fond of the library and admire hiccup got it open way back when#get along with Fishlegs and camicazi well enough#and enjoy dramatic stories of their adventures. maybe have some of her own#also: normalize people having their own lives outside their partners. hiccup and they are happy together but also have their own friends#oh and you know hiccup would be a great dad. he loves Stoick but he would so much be the dad he wished he had growing up#are the kids bio related? are they adopted (cast off and No Names)? who knows!#I could build in my head what hiccup’s spouse is like but I’ll leave it here#they exist as we construct them#httyd#httyd books#my post#book!hiccup#hiccup the third#hiccup horrendous haddock iii#book hiccup

I know we collectively agree that Hiccup isn’t romantically inclined, and his getting married and having kids didn’t make sense in the epilogue, but consider: Hiccup getting married for political reasons.

It’s a marriage of alliance, which is recognized both by him and his partner, and they enter it without expectations of romantic involvement. Since they’re now married, they live in the same castle, spend time together, and Hiccup finds he really likes his spouse. They’re funny, get along with his friends, and has the same interests and values. They both probably speak multiple languages. She understands why Hiccup is so dedicated to making the Wilderwest better, and holds similar views. She’s a good politician (her job after all, was to be an ambassador). Hiccup likes spending time with them, and the feeling is mutual. They’re not in love, they have their own lives, but they’re dedicated to each other and eventually decide to raise children. They teach their kids how to train hawks and hunt with dragons, riding, history, the Languages, and all the necessary skills of their world. They’re not in love and they’re happy together.

Winner Winner, Stormfly's Dinner

Pairing: Hiccup 'Horrendous’ Haddock III x fem!oc

Word count: 6.7k

Hiiii I was wondering if you could write a fic about the dragon races? I’ve seen your fic about the Lightfury stealing a dragon rider and really enjoyed it and I loved the dynamic the Lightfury had with your oc, Toothless and Hiccup even tho she doesn’t seem to like him too much. I was hoping you could incorporate that dynamic into an x reader fic? Also, you're free to use Stardust as the name of the Lightfury since I thought it was so cute. Since I know it probably wouldn’t fit into your original story I thought it might be easier to do it as something completely new with similar characters if that’s alright? Love your work and can’t wait to see more! From Anonymous

Hiii i was wondering if u could do something like a dragon racing fic with the sheep since I thought that might be fun. I’ve seen most people have requested Hiccup so I’m just going to request him as well since that’ll be fun and easy for you. So maybe like just segments where the reader is singled out with each rider so she can have some fun banter or moments with them and then maybe she gets the black sheep and wins the whole thing and hiccup is super proud of her <33333 From Anonymous

(Y/N): Your name

(H/C): Hair colour

(D/N): Dragon name

A/N:

A loud horn rang out as (Y/N) stepped into the old dragon training arena, her Lightfury–Stardust–following behind her. The noise signalled the nearing of the annual dragon race, letting those know to start making their way over soon. The stands were empty but the pit of the arena was full of dragon riders and their dragons, applying paint to the wings and heads of their dragons.

"Running a bit late now, are we?" Astrid called out as (Y/N) passed her. She wore a smug grin on her face, coloured orange and blue just like Stormfly behind her. Stormyfly perked up at the sight of (Y/N) and Stardust, trying to take a few steps towards the pair to greet them. At the sound of her talons scraping along the stone floor, Stardust's head snapped towards her, and a flash of teeth and a wrinkle of her nose deterred Stormfly from getting too much close. (Y/N) placed a hand on Stardust's head, lightly pushing it in the direction of where a mass of darkness sat patiently and with his chest puffed out slightly as its one-legged rider smeared paint across his head. At the sight of the other fury, Stardust went gracefully over without a second question, leaving (Y/N) to fend for herself.

"Hi, Stormfly. Looking good," (Y/N)'s voice rose as she ran her hands under the Deadly Nadder's chin, earning an elated hum from the beast. A bubble of joy rose from the pit of (Y/N)'s stomach to her chest, lighting her up until her soft laughter rang out around the arena. Astrid soon joined in on the laughter as she followed after her wayward dragon. "You ready for today, Astrid? Been feeding Stormyfly as much chicken as possible?"

At the mention of chicken, Stormfly lit up. Rising from (Y/N)'s grip and stomping her feet lightly in excitement. Astrid raised both her hands to try to calm the Deadly Nadder down, shooting (Y/N) a feigned annoyed glare. "We've definitely been getting some extra practice in, though I wouldn't say… you know what is needed to beat all these knuckleheads. What about you? Got any secret flights in with Stardust in preparation for today?"

(Y/N) ticked her head to the side, the corners of her lips lifting. Her body language showed indifference, but Astrid could tell something was going on that (Y/N) wasn't telling her. "Stardust and I will do just fine without any extra help. We always have a few tricks up our sleeves."

"We'll see about that once we get in the air," Astrid comments as she leads Stormfly back to her painting station. She dabbed a small sponge into the bowl filled with orange paint before lifting her arm to run it along Stormfly's outstretching wing, leaving a trail of paint behind that she would later go over to make the colour brighter and the lines steadier. "I took the liberty of setting up your station near Hiccup's. I hope the colours are to your liking."

"I'm sure whatever you picked out will make Stardust and I stand out amongst the rest of you," (Y/N) called over her shoulder with a laugh ringing through her words, choosing to ignore any undertones of teasing that she could find in Astrid's voice. (Y/N)'s eyes now landed on a new target. A target that she wouldn't be able to reach as quickly as she would have hoped to.

"(Y/N), I need your honest opinion–well, not too honest, or I might cry–about my battle paint!" Tuffnut called out as he saw the (H/C) haired girl walking past. As (Y/N) turned to take in the mix of colours on his face, she jumped back at the closeness of the boy. Tuffnutt had run up to her and was standing with his face pushed outwards with his eyes widened. On it was a yellow skull with the rest of his face blacked out. "Is it too much? Too little? I think I should add more paint but Ruff disagrees."

"It's, uh, very you," (Y/N) said slowly, her palms extended in front of her and faced up as she acknowledged the thought-out design. (Y/N) took half a second to think out her answer before she was closing a fist and lightly punching Tuffnut in the shoulder with it, "You know, I think you should go with your heart. If you think you should add more, then by all means, add more."

Tuffnut stared at her for a few seconds before he threw both hands into the air, "This is one of the many reasons you are my favourite," He exclaimed with a large grin overtaking his feature before he was spinning around and walked back towards his sister, arms still in the air. "You hear that, Ruff? (Y/N) thinks I'm brilliant!"

A smile displayed itself on (Y/N)'s face as she watched Tuffnut happily run back over to his paint station, his half of Barf and Belch looming over as he watched Tuffnut happily smear more paint on his face. The groan that rang out did little to wipe the smile off (Y/N)'s face as she turned to see Ruffnut glaring at her with her arms crossed. "Great, now I'm going to have to deal with the aftermath of all that."

"If it makes you feel any better Ruff, you get to dunk water on his head later. Maybe even repeatedly," (Y/N)'s words got an evil grin stretched across Ruffnut's face as she rubbed her two hands together, shooting her twin brother a sideways glance as she imagines the future that awaited for her.

(Y/N) didn't stick around for too much longer after that since she was losing time. Everyone else had finished painting at least themselves or their dragons and were now either going in for more details or working on whatever they hadn't done yet while she was still yet to even see the colour of her paint. Her hope for getting started didn't stay around for long as a short Viking called out to get her attention.

"Oi, (Y/N)," Snotlout yelled as he waved a large hand at her. Hookfang stood behind his dragon rider, sporting some red and yellow paint along his wings and a little bit on his jaw and cheeks. (Y/N) quickly walked over to greet the boy, not one for ignoring anyone. "You mind helping do my face? I would use the mirror normally, but the twins shattered it earlier while trying to call dibs on it."

"Are you sure you weren't in on the shattering of said mirror?" (Y/N) questioned with a grin as she came to a stop in front of Snotlout. The shorter boy's shoulders dropped as he tried to fight to string a sentence together to defend his honour. It only ended up causing a laugh to rise from (Y/N). "I was kidding, Snotlout. I totally believe it was just those two causing their normal ruckus."

"Good, because you know I would never stoop so low to join in or whatever it is those two get up to," Snotlout puffed out his chest as he said this, earning another huffed-out laugh from (Y/N) at his actions. "Now, about that face paint?"

The laughter slowly died down as the question was brought up for a second time. One of (Y/N)'s arms was raised as she wrapped it around the forearm of her other arm. Trying to let the boy off gently, she spoke softly, "I don't know, Snotlout. I haven't even started on Stardust or my own paint, so I don't think I have the time."

"It will only take a second, I promise," Snoutlout said as he tried to push the bowl of paint into (Y/N)'s hands.

But at the sound of a second horn (Y/N) shook her head and pushed the paint away from herself and back to Snoutlouts chest. "I'm sorry, Snoutlout, but I don't have time. How about if I finish myself and Stardust and still have time afterwards, I'll come back over and help y

The offer was a good one, and the best (Y/N) would be able to give as she could already hear the first group of Vikings arrive early for the race later. Snotlout seemed to ponder the offer, taking his time in weighing it out in his head before giving a single nod of his head. "But I want you coming straight back here once your done. No faffing around with Hiccup afterwards."

One of (Y/N)'s hands shot up to her forehead in a salute as she looked down at Snotlout. "Hearing you loud and clear, soldier."

(Y/N) could hear the huffing of Hookfang, along with some muttering from Snotlout, as she turned away from the flaming duo and tried, once more to get to her desired destination. This time she thought she'd finally be able to. She had gotten through nearly all the dragon riders, and Fishlegs wasn't one to socialise much before a big race, having some pre-race ritual he had to forgo. But as she started walking once more, a Gronckle-loving dragon rider attempted to get her attention.

"Ooh (Y/N)! (Y/N)," He called as he left Meatlug behind, the Gronckle happily snacking on some rocks. Fishlegs held a card in his hand as he made his way over to the (H/C) haired girl, a nervous grin on his face as he came over. (Y/N) came to a stop even though she was a little annoyed at being stopped for the fourth time. She tried to hide that annoyance as Fishlegs hadn't done anything wrong. "I stayed up late last night trying to finish this new card I made for Lightfury's. I thought we needed a newer version since we've found out so much more about Stardust and her species."

A smile fought its way onto (Y/N)'s face as she saw the carefully drawn Lightfury on the small trading card. (Y/N)'s eyes widened as she swore she could see every detail on the small picture that replicated her very own dragon. "Wow, Fishlegs, I don't know what to say. It looks amazing."

"This one's for you," Fishlegs quickly said, placing the card in (Y/N)'s hand before she could decline. "And before you say anything, I have a second one at home. I made this one just for you since I know you love everything and anything dragon related."

"Thanks, Fishlegs. I don't even know what to say," (Y/N) grinned as she stared at the small card before delicately placing it in a small pouch she had attached to her belt so it wouldn't get ruined while she was racing. As she thought about the race, she realised how much time she lost between getting to the arena late and having to talk to all the different dragon riders. "Good luck with the race, yeah?"

"I'll see you out there," Fishlegs concluded as they both turned away from each other.

This time, (Y/N) was finally able to get to where she needed to be.

"Hi, Hiccup," (Y/N) said as she trailed her fingers along the brunette's arm. The taller boy looked up at (Y/N), a soft smile on his face as he watched the girl dance around him. "And hi, Toothless. Red is such a good colour on you."

A gargling noise quickly erupted from Toothless' throat in his way of saying hello. Stardust was wrapped around the other dragon, head resting under his chin as she was careful not to smudge any of the red paint, mainly because she didn't want any of it getting onto her scales.

Before (Y/N) could take another step forward, she felt two arms wrap around her waist and pull her backwards. As she fell back into Hiccup's chest, a bubble of a laugh rose from her chest as she felt him pull her down to sit on his lap as he rested his head on her shoulder. At the action, Stardust let out a small growl. Her nose scrunched up as she threatened to take a step forward, the gentle coaxing from, Toothless stopping her from doing so.

“I was wondering when you were finally going to make your way over here,” Hiccup said as he rocked the both of them back, completely ignoring Stardust’s warning as he was already used to the untrusting behaviour on her part. He was sure he was slowly starting to get a breakthrough with the dragon. Having Toothless around certainly helped with that. “Once Stardust over there came bounding over, I knew it was only a matter of time before you would follow. I didn’t know it would take that long though.”

“All the other dragon riders seemed to want to keep me as far away and for as long as possible,” (Y/N) said as she wiggled out of Hiccups grips to the Viking's annoyance. She quickly turned around however and stood between his legs, forcing the Viking to look up at her from where he sat as he extended both of his arms so they could gently rest on her hips. “I’ve got a lot of time to make up for. So, if you could help me by painting Stardust with me, I’d appreciate it.”

At the mention of her name, Stardust stood and stalked a few steps away from Toothless, getting ready to be coated in paint. But when she heard her name in the same sentence as the Viking (Y/N) likes to keep around, her head shot around so she could watch Hiccup with a heated gaze.

“I’m not too sure Stardust likes the sound of that,” Hiccup said slowly. Rising from his seat, he followed after the shorter girl as she moved over to where three bowls of paint sat. Of course, there was the bowl of red paint that Hiccup had used for Toothless, but the other two bowls were left untouched.

“Nonsense. Stardust will stand still as you help me,” (Y/N) announced confidently as she picked up a bowl filled with light blue along with a sponge that sat near it. As she turned back around she sent Stardust a warning look, silently telling her to behave. “I want to do a sort of spiral along Stardust’s back where the colours intertwine with one another. But I don’t know what markings I want to do on her wings or face yet.”

Hiccup came up next to (Y/N), a step or two away from Stardust as he watched (Y/N) dip the sponge into the paint and slowly start to trail it along Stardust’s back. A soft purring began to emit from the Lightfury as (Y/N) worked her way down, her other hand gently trailing along with her. Hiccup took this as his chance to step up beside her now that she had gravitated further down Stardust’s body. At the sense of his presence, Stardust’s head whipped around while the rest of her body stayed eerily still.

“Easy girl,” Hiccup reassured gently as he raised a slightly shaking hand for Stardust to sniff. The dragon however scoffed a bunch of air out of her nose, the wind smacking against Hiccup’s hand as she turned away from him once more with a grumble. As if on cue, Toothless waddled over to them and stopped in front of Stardust to keep her busy while Hiccup worked.

When a hiccup got about halfway, (Y/N) left his side as she walked over to Stardust’s other side. Patting the white dragon on the edge of her wing, Stardust extended it for (Y/N)’s use. (Y/N) started to run the blue paint over the groves of Stardust's wings. As Hiccup walked over to help finish off the wing, he got a similar response to when he stepped up to her once more.

(Y/N) didn't pay too much mind to her, shushing her as Hiccup watched what she was doing. "I want this done on the other wing but in reversed colours. Also, can you fill these in with pink? And trace the back of her wing with it as well before you start on the other side with me?"

"Sure I can," Hiccup agreed, quickly doing what the (H/C) haired girl had asked him to. Again, (Y/N) was able to finish and move on to Stardust's other wing as Hiccup fought to catch up, trailing behind her as he copied her work. When Hiccup finished, he could see the girl crouched in front of Stardust's face while the dragon leant her face down low. Coming to a stop behind her, Hiccup saw the two bands of blue wrapped around Stardust's front legs while she now trailed some paint up her face. Looking at the close proximity between the two, Hiccup said, "I think you should finish Stardust off."

Once the final stroke of paint was drawn, (Y/N) turned back to smile at Hiccup. "Come on Hic, you know Stardust won't bite."

"That's the thing," Hiccup unwearily said as he cautiously stepped forward, an immediate response rising out of Stardust. (Y/N)'s head instantly whipped around at the noise emitting from her dragon. A light scowl was on her face, slowly making the rumbling calm down. "I'm not completely sure she won't."

(Y/N) took a second to think over what she was going to do before she reached a hand back for Hiccup to take, waiting patiently until she felt the steady weight of it. At the contact she pulled him forward, the light ring of his metal foot hitting against the stone floor as (Y/N) pulled him to crouch down next to her. Stardust's face twisted at the sight of the other dragon rider but tried to stand still as (Y/N) was still crouched in front of her.

Grabbing onto Hiccup's other hand, the one that had the bowl and sponge held in it, she pulled it forward before making another grab for his previous hand. Together they dipped the sponge in the paint before trailing it along Stardust's front legs, having two rings on each alternating leg. Since (Y/N) was doing most of the work, Stardust couldn't find it in herself to try and scare them off. She still however made her annoyance known as she glared at Hiccup, the boy only being able to give her a throaty chuckle in response.

As they moved onto Stardust's face, (Y/N)'s hold on Hiccup's hand loosened, giving him the chance to back away if he wanted. But the boy's hand stayed where it was, trying not to seem too keen to get closer. As the sponge dipped back into the paint before moving up to the Lightfury's face, Stardust slowly closed her eyes, allowing the paint to trail across her face. Hiccup could feel a smile slowly starting to etch across his face. Never before had he been able to get this close to the Lightfury with Stardust's willingness. Even if there wasn't much of it right now.

"All done," (Y/N) happily cheered as she pulled Hiccup's hand away from Stardust's face. The dragon's eyes instantly shot open, a smile starting to stretch across her face as she turned to find Toothless to show off the finished work. (Y/N) watched happily as the dragon bounced over to Toothless, spreading her wings as she pranced around Toothless, forcing him to turn to follow her as he showed one of his famous toothless smiles.

"Now it's time for something more important," Hiccup said as he stood. Balancing the paint in one hand, he pulled (Y/N) to her feet before tugging her slightly closer.

"What could be more important than painting Stardust?" (Y/N) questioned, smiling softly up at Hiccup as she waited to see what he might do.

"This," He said as he dipped his thumb into the pink paint and brought his hand up to (Y/N)'s cheek. He waited half a second before running his pink-coated thumb across her cheekbone, making sure he curled the paint up the higher he got. A laugh rang out of (Y/N) as she pinched close one of her eyes when Hiccup ran his thumb underneath it. Once he was done with that half of (Y/N)'s face he wiped his thumb into the palm of his hand, trying to get rid of as much of it as possible before he bent down to place his bowl down and pick up the one (Y/N) had put down earlier. "Nearly done."

"You have to let me do your paint after this," (Y/N) demanded with a grin, leaning forward as she bounced forward on her toes.

"Absolutely not." Hiccup was careful not to mess up the swirls he was painting onto the girl's face. "What I want is simple and I can do it myself. Plus, I know you're going to try and add something to the design if I don't keep a close eye on you."

"Alright," (Y/N) said as a hum in return. She stood still as she waited for Hiccup to finish. "Here, I'll take the paint back over."

At the offer, Hiccup handed the bowl of light blue over, watching as (Y/N) turned to get the pink bowl off the floor before walking over to the table it had originally rested on. Dipping a thumb into the blue paint, she let it coat her thumb before grabbing the bowl of red paint for Hiccup and bringing it over for him. "Thank you, (Y/N)."

"No problem, my love," (Y/N) said as the bowl was handed over. Hiccup's eyes flashed up at her, trying to hide a smile as he dipped his pointer and middle finger into the paint. While Hiccup was distracted by his own paint, (Y/N) reached her thumb up and smeared the blue paint she had gotten on it across her lips until they were completely covered in blue. Hiding her face by knocking her head down, (Y/N) circled Hiccup until she stood behind the dragon rider. Wrapping both of her arms around the taller boy's waist, she rested her chin on Hiccup's shoulder like he had done to her earlier. As Hiccup dipped his two fingers into the paint again so he could drag them along his face, (Y/N) lept forward and placed a small kiss on the boy's jaw.

"What was that for?" Hiccup asked as he lifted his hand up to draw on the paint, ignoring the sensation of the paint (Y/N) had left behind.

"Nothing," (Y/N) grinned, hiding it behind Hiccup's head as she moved to his other side before placing a longer, drawn-out kiss on his cheek. The blue paint wasn't as vibrate as the first kiss but still was a clear outline of her lips. "Am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend?"

"I never said that," Hiccup said as he twisted in (Y/N)'s arms. His eyes locked on the colour of (Y/N)'s lips too late as he had already dived forward to catch her lips with his own. (Y/N) smiled at the sensation, keeping her arms tightly wrapped around Hiccup's midsection while the boy's brows pinched together. His tongue edged forward, waiting for (Y/N) to part her lips when the taste hit him quickly. Just as (Y/N) was about to grant him entrance, Hiccup pulled back, staring confusedly down at (Y/N)'s lips. "Why is there paint on your lips?"

"No reason," (Y/N) quickly said, feigning nonchalance. Maybe she spoke too quickly or should have been quicker since when she surged forward to try and leave another kiss mark on Hiccup's face, the boy planted both hands on (Y/N)'s shoulders, a groan leaving his now blue-coated lips as he hung his head onto (Y/N)'s shoulders.

"Please don't tell me your blue kisses are all over my face." (Y/N) didn't respond, causing another groan to rise from Hiccup as he lifted his head again, scowling lightly at the shorter girl when all she could do was smile. "You know what?"

"What?" (Y/N) asked, her brows furrowing at the lack of reaction from Hiccup. Once she saw Hiccup's thumb dip into his red paint, her eyes widened at what she knew was coming her way. Dropping her hands from Hiccup's side, she tried to wiggle back and out of his grip.

"No, you don't," Hiccup quickly exclaimed as the bowl of red paint dropped from his hand and spilled across the stone floor. Not to matter though since Hiccup's lips were already coated red. (Y/N) tried to fight Hiccup's arms off her as she backed away with a laugh. Hiccup's arms shot out and tightly secured themselves around (Y/N), trapping her arms to her side in the process. (Y/N) tried to lean back as far as possible but Hiccup only followed after her. Leaning up and forward, Hiccup placed a large kiss on (Y/N)'s forehead, marvelling at the red that was left behind. "There. Now we match."

(Y/N) pretended to be annoyed as she felt Hiccup's arms loosen around her. She wasn't doing a very good job at hiding her true emotions as a large smile blossomed across her face. At that moment, (Y/N) didn't have to worry about anything. Certainly not about the betting that was going on above her.

“My money’s on Snotlout,” Spitelout said as he stood neck to Stoick. Spitelout was looking down at his son as he pointed an all-knowing finger towards him.

“You sure he ain’t gonna throw it all away again?” Gobber asked from the other side of their chief as he scratched his beard with his fake wooden hand, looking down at Snotlout with a less then keen eye.

Spitelout flashed Gobber a glare, both of his arms crossed tightly over his chest as he said, “I’m sure he has it this time around.”

"What about you Stoick?" Gobber asked, turning Spitelout's glare away from him as they both turned their attention to the man sitting down. "Who have you got your eyes on for today's race?"

Stoick didn't even need to think about his answer as he brought a large hand to rub against his chin while saying with a bellowing voice, "My golds going towards my daughter-in-law."

"Oh? Hiccup's popped the big question?" Gobber asked he turned back to look at the pair still wrapped in each other's arms. He could see the splatter of paint they had been leaving on each other's faces, but Gobber was more than content to let them stay in their own little bubble for a bit longer.

Stoick's face pulled downwards at the question. In a grumbled-out response, he said, "Not yet."

"If that boy doesn't hurry up, she's going to do it for him," Spitelout stated, getting silent agreement from the Vikings he was conversing with."Now, back to business. Not putting your gold on Hiccup, eh?"

"Not today, no," Stoick shook his head. "(Y/N) and her dragon have been looking promising recently."

"We'll see if your judgement has grown clouded soon enough," Spitelout teased, grinning as he heard the final horn ring out. Some of the dragon riders got on their dragons as soon as possible, flying up to where they stood on their baskets, waiting for the race to begin. "Normal amount?"

"Hm? Sure," Stoick absentmindedly said as he stood from his seat and walked a few steps forward, gaining the silence from the crowded arena stands. The silence urged the remaining dragon riders to mount their dragons and get to their starting positions. "Vikings and dragon riders, today we join for the first race of the year. On the Gronckle we have Fishlegs, the Monstrous Nightmare being flown by Snotlout-"

Stoick was cut off by a loud cheer from Spitelout, the man yelling, "That's my boy!"

"Yes, thank you for that wonderful display Spitelout," Stoick deadpanned as he turned briefly to face the other Viking as he calmed himself down. "The twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut of the Hideous Zippleback, Astrid on the Deadly Nadder, and my son of the Nightfury."

Stoick paused as he got to (Y/N)'s part, drawing the crowd into suspense. "And on the Lightfury we have my hopefully soon to be daughter in law, (Y/N)!"

(Y/N) turned and grinned at the Viking chief, her face light and full of joy as she laughed along with the other Vikings watching from the arena stands as Hiccup gave off a slightly sheepish smile. At his smile, Gobber banged his wooden hand on the arena's railing before pointing accusingly at Hiccup and saying, "We see you, Hiccup and we're all waitin' for that question to be answered."

"Moving on," Stoick yelled as Hiccup threw his hands in exasperation. "I hear now begin the first dragon race of the year! Release the sheep!"

Once the horn rang out, all six dragons took off. At first, it was a battle of speed as they all raced straight up before breaking away from each other so they could scower Berk for any of the painted sheep they needed to win this. There were twelve sheep that they needed to find before the black sheep worth ten points would be shot to the sky.

As (Y/N) guided Stardust a bit closer to the huts when she noticed another fury trailing behind her. Looking over her shoulder with a grin, she saw Hiccup flying not too far behind them, the paint from earlier still smeared across his face and lips. "Love that colour on you. Is it maroon?"

"Oh, laugh all you want," Hiccup waved her off as he leaned forward on Toothless's back a bit more, his hands tightening on the saddle as Toothless tried to speed up.

(Y/N)'s head quickly turned back around, copying Hiccup's movements as she leaned down to Stardust's ears. "Come on girl, it's time to disappear."

Stardust let out a soft mew at (Y/N)'s words. Spreading her wings wide, speeding up as much as possible in the time to heat up a plasma blast in her mouth. Without warning her wings shot inwards towards her body as she turned into a nosedive. As the shot rang out, (Y/N) buried herself as close to Stardust's body as possible. As the both of them dived through the blast, the same cloaking that took over Stardust danced across (Y/N) and the few white scales she had woven into her clothes.

"Whoo!" (Y/N) yelled as they vanished without a trace, the only lingering part of them being her voice. It took a while for (Y/N) to spot her first sheep, the fluffy animal trying to hide under the hut of some Viking. But when both her and Stardust's eyes landed on it, they changed paths without a thought and swooped down. Twisting her body so (Y/N) sat upside down on her back, Stardust flew upside down so (Y/N) could hang down and pick the sheep up from where it lay. Pulling the sheep to her chest, Stardust helped to right them up as they burst back into the sky.

To everyone else, it looked like a sheep had somehow been granted the ability to fly but those who truly knew could just see the ripple in the air as (Y/N) and Stardust tore through the air.

Taking a sharp turn, the two of them with their extra passenger dived back towards the training arena, careful to keep out of sight of any other dragon riders. As they swooped in, the crowd cheered as they faded back into view to drop the sheep into the Lightfury's basket. Taking a quick look at the other baskets, (Y/N) could see that Astrid already had two sheep while Hiccup had three, meaning there were only six more sheep to find before the black sheep was released.

Pulling back on Stardust's saddle, the whistle that commonly was handed to the Nightfury rang out, filling the air as she shot away from the arena. The two of them didn't have time to waste as Stardust looked out for any stray sheep while (Y/N) looked for any dragon riders in the air with sheep.

As her eyes landed on Berk's Nightfury, a grin spread across her face. "Stardust, we need to go after Toothless. Make sure he doesn't see us coming."

Stardust shot out another plasma shot, cloaking them as Toothless looked back as the noise echoed. The dragon's eyes narrowed as it searched for Stardust but eventually had to look away when nothing turned up. Hovering above him though was Stardust as (Y/N) began to climb from her back. (Y/N) kept a hand situated on the saddle as she got ready to drop. Her feet touched down on the leathery back of Toothless, a confused yelp escaping him as his head shot back once again. As the feeling began to climb along his back, he tried to hiss out a warning to Hiccup.

"I'll be taking that," (Y/N) yelled as she tore the sheep from Hiccup's hands before launching herself off and over Toothless's head. Toothless gargled as (Y/N) went falling off of him, diving through thin air as she waited for Stardust to catch her. She continued to fall for a few seconds before she saw a floating sheep hurtling towards her in the claws of Stardust as she faded back into existence once more. (Y/N) landed on Stardust's back harshly, her bones rattling as one of her hands unlatched from the sheep to grab onto Stardust as she turned to the arena, a Nightfury on her tail.

"I'm going to need that back, (Y/N)," Hiccup called as he tried to keep up with (Y/N) and her Lightfury. Adjusting his metal foot, Toothless's tail changed directions, giving them a gust of speed. The soft grunts of a Monstrous Nightmare behind him were slightly startling with how close Snotlout and Hookfang were to catch up to them. Stating his thoughts, Hiccup said, "We can't let that happen, bud."

Toothless made his agreement known as he flapped his wings once, shooting away from Snotlout as they grew closer to Stardust. But no matter what they seemed to do, Stardust had an impossible lead on them. So there was no stopping it when Hiccup watched as both sheep were dropped into the Lightfury's basket. Hiccup and her were now tied. Astrid still had two but the twins had been able to score themself a sheep of their own. Nine sheep found, three to go.

(Y/N) and Stardust shot up once more, hoping to make one final round before the black sheep could be found. They didn't bother to vanish again, shooting through the sky as they tried to find more sheep. It was when a commotion could be heard above them. Meatlug had a sheep clutched in her claws while Stormfly and Barf and Belch tried to herd the sheep towards them. Fishlegs was panicking from atop the Gronckle, a perfect opportunity for (Y/N) to steal it.

Barf and Belch slammed into the side of Meatug, making the Gronckke growl as the sheep was dropped from her to retrieve the fallen sheep already gone after it. Stormfly was close to grabbing it within her claws when Stardust shot forward, sweeping the sheep from the air as she spiraleD up. “You’re going to have to be quicker than that if you want to win this!”

"Stormfly fetch!" Astrid yelled and the excited growl that erupted from Stormfly was anything to go by, (Y/N) was going to be in trouble.

"Fly Stardust, fly," (Y/N) screeched as the Deadly Nadder's eyes locked onto the both of them. Stardust's head shook as she shot forward, taking sharp turns to try and lose Stormfly as they were chased down. (Y/N)'s eyes landed on the last two remaining sheep. Patting on Stardust's neck, the Lightfury's eyes also landed on where (Y/N) was looking. "This is going to be a close one."

Dropping down, Stardust got all of her claws ready, planning on holding one sheep in each pair. As they reached the sheep, Stadust's front claws were able to score the first sheep but as she started to lift, her black claws pointing out to latch onto the sheep's fur, something snatched it out from under her. "I think it's only fair that I get this one after what happened earlier."

It was Hiccup. Both Stardust and (Y/N) were left slightly dumbfounded as they followed after the Nightfury. The others had caught onto their catchings and were trailing after them, making a train of dragons and dragon riders. As Hiccup threw his sheep down, followed by (Y/N) and her two, a final horn rang out, signalling the black sheep as the scores rested five to (Y/N), Hiccup at four, Astrid at two and the twins at one. Whoever grabbed this sheep would seal the victory.

"It's just one more sheep, Stardust," (Y/N) whispered to her dragon, the two of them shooting away from the arena along with all the other dragon riders. (Y/N) could hear them also muttering encouragements to their dragons. "We've come far enough to win this all."

As she spoke, she heard the launch of the sheep, the subtle clank of the chains smacking against wood as the black sheep went flying. It was a fight of flames and talons as all eyes locked onto the black sheep. It was a certain Nightfury that was able to shoot forward and steal the sheep into his clutches. That's when the chase broke out again.

Toothless had an advantage with speed, taking a small lead as Stormfly and Stardust were close behind. Both dragons were trying to shoot forward in front of the other, the riders on their back yelling jeers at each other as their dragons did the work. It was only when Stardust was able to push herself forward in a burst of speed that Astrid let out a frustrated yell. "He's right there Stardust. It's now or never."

As her agreement Stardust flew under Toothless, getting close enough that (Y/N) could reach up and snatch the Blacksheep from his claws, earning a snap from the dragon. "Right, let's go."

As they lowered themselves even further, Stardust let out a roar as they flew. The arena could be seen coming up, crowds of Vikings hitting each other and jumping up to see who had the black sheep as they all rode in.

It didn't stop there though. As they began to dip into the arena, Snotlout came hurtling around from the other side of the arena, an axe in hand as he tried to swing it toward (Y/N)'s head. Stardust already acted as (Y/N) yelled, "Dive, dive, dive!"

Nearly falling from Stardust's back because of the lost grip she had, a not-very Viking-sounding squeak as she fought to grip onto Stardust's saddle. Stardust rumbled from below her as she knocked her tail up, bumping (Y/N) further up her saddle as she swung around the arena, weaving in and out from the different dragons as they tried to steal what was theirs.

As the black sheep made contact with the Lightfury's basket, the sheep getting squashed in with the other ones, a ripple broke out through the stadium as the race ended.

"Yes," (Y/N) yelled as she threw both her arms out, Stardust throwing her own call to the wind as they sailed across the arena perimeter, close enough to the stands that some of the Vikings could read out and congratulate her.

"That's my girl," (Y/N) heard the yell from Hiccup as he flew up next to her, the tips of Toothless and Stardust's wings overlapping. "I almost thought I'd be able to win one over you."

"That is where you must have gone wrong," (Y/N) called back before Stardust was steering her to Stoick's seat, the man waiting happily with a grumbling Spitelout not too far away from him. "Have I won you enough gold, Stoick?"

His booming laugh shot around. "You have this time."

"Placing bets again Dad?" Hiccup questioned as he fell from Toothless's saddle, climbing over to (Y/N) where he pulled her from Stardust's saddle and placed a kiss on the side of her head.

"Of course I was Hiccup," Stoick said as he watched the two. "Picked the right dragon as well."

Turning around to face Hiccup, (Y/N) grinned up at him. "You want to go on another race?"
