Hiccup X Shy!Reader

There he is.

The pride of Berk.

Not to mention your crush. But you'll take that secret to the grave.

Because he's in a relationship with Astrid, someone who hates you. She would probably hate you more if she found out you liked Hiccup.

It wasn't just for his new handsome looks, either. You had always liked him, since he was different. You loved people who were different than anyone else, people who liked different things and had different personalities. Hiccup even told you about when he became friends with Toothless first, before Astrid.

He was your friend since you were - and still are - an outcast like he was. Now everyone loves him, and you were just left alone with no friends except your dragon Dashie, who is a very fast Timberjack. You are also extremely shy, since Hiccup is about the only person who ever really spoke to you.

You were sat eating dinner with everyone else, though of course you sat with no-one except your dragon. Your dragon had already eaten his food and was now resting his head on your lap, you automatically scratching it behind its horns. It was growling in content.

You, however, hadn't touched your food, and kept on sending occasional glances towards Hiccup. He was laughing, smiling at everything Astrid said, but you couldn't help notice his eyes weren't reflecting the same. They weren't sparkling, like they always do when he smiled or laughs.

"You okay (Name)? You seem a bit sad." A voice said. It was Gobber. He sat down opposite you on your small wooden table.

"Oh yeah. I'm fine." You said quietly, looking down at your sleeping dragon. It seemed like a normal conversation, but because it was so sudden, your heart was beating quickly at the fact that someone had started talking to you without any warning.

You glanced over at Hiccup, and you could have sworn on Odin's beard that your eyes locked with each other for a moment. You saw Hiccup's cheeks become pink slightly as he turned back to Astrid. You could feel the heat from your red cheeks reflecting off your face.

"It's something to do with Hiccup, isn't it?" Gobber said with a smile.

"N-no, no, of course not." You stutter quickly.

Gobber raised an eyebrow at you before chuckling to himself. He stood up and walked away.

You sighed.

"Greeaat." You thought to yourself. "He knows I like Hiccup and I said like five words!"

You decided to leave the hall and go back home. It's midday, so if Hiccup finds out thanks to Gobber, the rest of the day is probably gonna be Hell for you.

"C'mon, Dashie." You said to your Timberjack, who sleepily trailed after you.

                              ~~~~~Hiccup's POV~~~~~


Hiccup was sitting around a table with his friends and Astrid, his girlfriend. To be honest, he found her a little too clingy. She was always following after him, always only listening to him, always trying to steal kisses every minute.

And he liked someone else.

After a little while, he noticed that (Name) had the left the hall. He cleared his throat and looked at Astrid, who looked back with curious eyes.

"Astrid, could I er, speak to you in private please?" He said, standing up.

Astrid quickly glanced at her friends, who all exchanged looks of confusion as she did.

"U-uh yeah, sure!" She said with a smile, and she followed Hiccup to a deserted corner of the hall.

"Listen Astrid, I don't want you to take this the wrong way.." He began, rubbing the back of his head. How was he going to tell her she was annoying and would rather be with someone else?

"...But er, let's just say, uh, Ruffnut isn't the only single girl you know." He said with a smile and walked away from her, who had a mixture of sadness and fury on her face.

She stormed her way back to the table, and put her chin on the table.

"What happened?" Fishlegs asked before anyone else.

"What HAPPENED--" She picked up a knife and stabbed it viciously into the table "--was that I just got DUMPED!"

                                       ~~~~~~

Hiccup rushed to the saddle-construction house, searching for Gobber.

"Gobber, can I have a word?" He asked him once he found him.

"Of course lad. What is it?" Gobber asked him with a smile.

"Have you seen (Name)?" He asked with nervousness in his voice.

"Saw her in the hall, but after that can't say I have." Gobber said with a sigh.

Hiccup glared at the ground in defeat. He slightly punched the air too.

Gobber chuckled. "You two have no idea, do you? She does like you as well. In fact, maybe you should go check behind her house, she usually--Hiccup?"

Hiccup had disappeared.

                              ~~~~~~Normal POV~~~~~~

You stared up at the sky, Dashie sitting next to you. You smiled in peaceful content, your long (h/c) locks drifting out behind you.

"U-uh, (Name)?"

You nearly had a heart attack when you turned your head. Hiccup was standing a by your house which was a few feet away, he was playing with one of his small braids in his hair and avoiding your gaze.

"Yes?" You looked at him, making him look at you. You stood up and faced him, your Timberjack deciding to ignore it. He simply rolled his eyes - for the only thing you would to Dashie about was your feelings for Hiccup.

"I, uh, have something to tell you." He said with a warm smile.

"You proposed to Astrid?" You said with nervousness.

Hiccup looked around to see that it was Astrid-free before he started rambling.

"Propose? More like it didn't work out! She's so clingy, always paying attention to me and following me everywhere I go because she simply wants to be the wife of the next chief and doesn't even like me at all! I didn't like her either, I wanted someone who could always be in love with me, someone who might be different to everyone like you are--"

"Hiccup." You said, holding up your hand to silence him. He stopped and looked at you with confusion.

"I, u-u-uh, l-like you?" You said slowly. Before you could say anything else two arms were thrown tightly around you for a hug. It was practically lung-crushing but you hugged him back nonetheless. When he loosened his grip you looked at up him for him to quickly kiss you, smile, and then kissed you again more passionately. It was soft and made you feel bubbly and warm.

You threaded his fingers through his soft, messy hair and pulled away for both of you needed air.

"I'm glad you said that." Hiccup smiled.
