Just This Once 【Ryker Grimborn】

Summery: The reader is a double agent. She's spying on Ryker and Viggo for Hiccup and the riders, and vice versa. She catches feelings for Ryker and begs Viggo to let the hunters have a break for the day so she can spend time with his brother.

♡♡♡

         The hot sun beamed on the vast Island. It was summer, and the climate seemed to be taking a toll on The Hunters. Y/N sighed. The heat was getting to her, more so than the others. Sweat pooled down her neck.
         "I wonder if Viggo would allow everyone a break? This heat seems to be killing everyone." The woman exaggerated. She eyed the men working, watching them collectively stumble and collapse from heat exhaustion. Her eyes landed on one person though. His muscles rippled as he worked, sweat glazing his bald head. Y/N gawked at the man, Ryker. Ever since she started spying on the man for the riders, she found him rather attractive. He was strong, commanding, and devilishly handsome. She even found his voice and anger to be quite sexy. A small squawk came from the small reptile next to her, pulling her from her unholy thoughts. It was her Terrible Terror. The little bugger was the only dragon who seemed to like her. She also wasn't a fan of heights, so it worked out well in her favor. A sudden idea popped in her head.
         "Hey, Grim. See Viggo around?" She asked the creature. Grim gurgled.
         "Could you take me to him?"
Grim began to fly off. The woman quickly got to her deet, following after the small dragon.

         Viggo walked the camp. He strided along the path and supervised his Hunters as they worked. Grim suddenly landed on his shoulder, causing the man to startle for a moment. He glared at his owner, who approached rather quickly.
         "Thank you Grim."
Viggo's expression showed annoyance, and slight amusement.
         "You were looking for me, I presume?" He asked. Y/N nodded.
         "Yes. I need a really big favor. Can you have everyone have a break today? It's really hot and everyone is collapsing from exhaustion."
Viggo squinted at the woman.
         "Why? You don't have any work to do regardless since you're pretending to spy on me for your friends. Production has been slow already and the Dragon Riders have already been ahead for some time. We don't need to fall behind."
The man turned to walk away.
        "I really want to- I'll convince them to take a break too."
A small blush flushed her features as the thought of Ryker came to mind. Viggo turned to her. A small, mischievous smirk formed on his face.
         "You really want to what,?" He taunted. Y/N took a deep breath. 
         "I really like your brother and I wanted to take a break so I can..maybe spend time with him?"
         "Why don't you just ask him out? Instead of gawking at him every chance you get?"
         "He's not that easy to approach. Please just this one time? For me?"
Viggo pondered for a moment. He sighed.
         "Fine. Just this once. At least try to ask him out this time." He stated, putting a hand to his forehead in a dramatic style. The Chief walked to the podium. 
         "Attention all Hunters. Upon request, you all have the rest of the day off due to the heat." He announced. Y/N quickly tied a paper to her terror.
         "Bring this to Hiccup, boy." She told the Terror. Grim chirped and flew off, in the direction of The Edge.

         Y/N noticed Ryker walking away from the crowd. This is my chance. She quickly walked up to him, tapping on his bicep.
         "Um. Ryker?"
The man turned to her, softening his expression slightly.
         "Yes?"
         "Could we..would you like-" She paused. Taking a breath, she steadied herself. She glanced at Viggo, who raised a brow with a smile, urging her to continue. 
         "Would you like to go swimming?..with me?..only me?"
Ryker stood there for a moment. The woman closed her eyes, awaiting the worst.
         "Sure."
The woman looked at him, shocked.
         "What?"
His tone was aggressive. He glared at her. Y/N blinked.
         "Nothing. I just..I didn't expect you to agree." She admitted. He rolled his eyes. He walked in the direction of the forest.
         "Wait, where are you going?" She called out.
         "You wanted it to be just us, did you not?"
He gave a blunt response.
         "I have."
         "Then let's go."
Y/N made haste to follow the man, who just walked off, not bothering to wait a moment longer. 

         The barbarian led the woman to a lake. They had walked about two and a half hours. They were pretty far from the rest of the tribe. A shiver ran down Y/N's spine. The thought of a pack of dragons or wold animals attacking the pair may be slim, but not completely unlikely. She looked up at Ryker. A sense of security came to her. That's right. If anything happens, he'll protect me…right? Ryker walked over to the shoreline. Y/N watched as the man started taking off his armor. Her eyes were glued to him as he removed his tunic, leaving him shirtless. A soft vermillion formed on her cheeks. She awkwardly looked away as the man glanced back at her.
         "What?" He asked. His tone wasn't as aggressive, unlike earlier. She looked back at him, noticing his boots were now removed. She nearly choked on her saliva.
         "It's uh..it's no-nothing."
She cleared her throat and began to remove her own clothes. She remained in linen undergarments. The man dived in. A sigh of relief escaped him. Y/N took a deep breath before jumping in as well. The cool water of the lake alleviated the unbearable heat. She floated there for a moment, relishing in the comfortable temperature.

          The woman flinched at the sudden feeling of arms around her. Ryker lifted her from the water and threw her. He began to laugh when she resurfaced. The woman playfully splashed him back.
          "Oh ho ho, you're in for it now." He shouted. A smile was evident on his face. He dived under the water. Y/N looked around for him. She let out a squeal as he lifted her in his arms. She laughed, holding his shoulders. They stayed there for a moment.
         "I like you." The woman admitted, breathlessly. She hadn’t even realized she said it. Ryker didn't say anything. Slowly, he kissed her. Y/N felt butterflies in her chest. She shyly kissed him back. The man deepened the kiss, holding her tightly to him. After a while, they pulled away.
         "I love you." He stated. He stared her dead in the eyes as he did. Ryker had never been more serious about anything in his life than he had right then.
         "I love you too. Ever since I first saw you."
They both smiled.

          The couple wandered into the camp. Everyone seemed to be either resting or by the campfires. It was dark now. Ryker led the woman to his personal tent. Unbeknownst to them, a certain Chief watched them. Viggo smirked to himself, proud of his wingmanship. Grim perched on his shoulder pad, carefully avoiding the spikes. Viggo looked at the parchment. She is a woman of her word. He thought, reading the parchment. He turned back to his own tent, letting the lovers be.
