Y/n's POV
"That smells delicious" I heard Snotlout from behind. "I see you're cooking for us, quiet wife material aren't you?" I look over my shoulder then glared at him.
"Ugh. Whatever" I rolled my eyes. Soon the others arrived. "I made a lunch for you guys" I smiled while putting the fish steak on the table.
"Thank Thor we don't have to eat the twins' stinky fish." Astrid spoke as she sat at the table.
"Hey!" The twins excalimed at the same time as the others ate their food.
"This is really good, Y/n. Where'd you learn this recipe?" Fishlegs asked as he ate his food like there was an eating contest. I smiled before I spoke.
"I'm glad you like it. I usually experiment about different food until I come up with this." I gestured to the steak infront of us.
"Uh-uh-uh we didn't liked it." Tuffnut shook his head then everyone just stare at him in confusion. "Because we certainly loved it!" He continued to eat his food like a child. He made me slightly giggle.
"So, tell me again on how you met Viggo?" Astrid asked while looking at my direction. "Dervin said that you're both lost and travelled from different island until you landed here." I sigh, grateful that they seem to buy the lies that Dervin come up with.
"Yep that's right. We're lost and we don't have a home. We were separated from our family, the dragons attacked our village when we were just a kids. Our families fought them while we escaped." I look at them, their eyes seemed interested "we sailed far from our village. We don't know where to go until we stumble upon one island. That was where we found our dragon as a baby. We grew up together and live with them in a cave. Until we were old enough to explore then we came across with Viggo. We helped many dragons free from his grasp." I stated calmly and pretended like I was playing back the memories in my mind. However the last part was partially true 'cause we helped many dragons from Viggo and he's definitely not happy about that.
I saw Dervin smirk at the corner of my eyes. I glanced at the riders, they seemed to belive me as they all nodded at me. There was a moment of silence before Hiccup spoke.
"Do you still remember where you're from?" I glance at their plate to see that they already finished their food.
"Apparently, no. We were way too young to remember." Dervin replied.
We sat there doing nothing until I stood up to clean the dishes.
As everyone left the room, I heard Dervin chuckled. "Nice acting you got there." I looked at him as I finished doing the dishes.
"Sshh! They might hear you!" I whisper-shout at him.
"Okay, how can we stay here? I mean we don't have a hut. Where should we stay?" He asked me.
"I don't know. We'll come up with something later." I walked outside as I whistled for Lightstar.
Time skip
We were flying above the ocean, enjoying the view as the sunset gave us an orange, pink and violet color in the sky.
"It's nice to be free, Lightstar" I pet my dragon's head as we headed towards the clouds. I looked at my side and my wound was barely visible. Lightstar purred, looking at me. "It's okay, girl. I can barely feel it."
We landed on a cliff, I sat down on a grassy edge. The view was breath taking, you can clearly see the riders' huts and the ocean that shone brightly in sunset. I sigh as I look at Lightstar who was laying her head in my lap. She looked back at me with pleading eyes.
"Oh come on! We can't play right here. The others might discover my powers" We used to play back in our home with my powers.
She grunted then closed her eyes. I looked at sunset ahead of us then sigh. 'It was good to know that these dragon riders were not hurting nor hunting dragons. I guess we finally found someone who are just like us, someone who can understand dragons like we do.'
I was put out of my trance when Lightstar's ear perked up as she glanced at my back. There was a flapping of wings then my dragon immediately stood up to play with someone's dragon. I don't really care who the person behind me is as I was sure that it wasn't hunter.
"Hey, how are you? How's y-your wound?" I glanced up at Hiccup as he spoke before looking straight at the sunset.
"I'm fine, still recovering" I shrug as he sat beside me.
"Uhm can I ask you something?"
"Sure?" I look at him, thinking about what he'll be asking.
"Why did you helped us during the attack? I mean you mentioned that you save a lot of dragons from Viggo but you still put your life in line to save us." He frowned while looking at the ocean below us. I giggle slightly before replying.
"If I didn't helped you, your dragons will do anything it takes to rescue you. They'll put their lives in line to save you. And I saw that when I watched you fought those hunters. I saw how your bond went well that was why I decided to help. I'd rather put my life on danger than to see any dragons die, trying to save their friends." I stated calmly as I continue to stare at the sunset, it just made me relaxed.
"I- uhm... thanks for the save" he sheepishly replied. I looked at him and I saw a weird smile on his face. 'He's nervous again' I smirk slightly.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm not that scary right?" I was laughing way too hard. He's 2 years older than me and was he really scared at me? Is he thinking that I might bite him?
"H-huh?"
"Nothing." I stood up heading for my dragon. It's getting dark as the sun was barely visible in the horizon. "Come on! We should head back" I climbed on Lightstar's back and took off, Hiccup following behind.
Time skip
We're back at the clubhouse, eating our dinner. They made me their new chef. 'Just great.'
"Uh, where do you guys planning to stay for the night?" Fishlegs spoke, breaking the silence in the air. I just shrugged then spoke.
"I guess we should stay here"
"Wait... you're gonna sleep here? You do realize that there's no bed or anything in here right?" Astrid gestured around the clubhouse as she spoke.
"Yeah, we can totally sleep on the floor. We used to it." I smiled at them while eating.
"Why don't you stay at my hut?" Hiccup spoke. I saw everyone just stare at us with a shocked look. I was honestly surprised at his offer. I just stare at him for a few moments before I thought of an answer.
"Thanks but-"
"It's okay. And besides, it's the smallest thing I can do for you for saving our lives" Hiccup insist. I don't know how to respond 'cause I'm not used to having a sleepover on someone's hut. I looked at Dervin, silently begging him to make an excuse but he just wiggled his eyebrows like there was something going to happen. I glared at him 'curse you!' I saw him preventing himself from laughing.
I look around at the gang, they were all staring back at me, waiting for my response until Dervin spoke up.
"It's okay, Y/n. Staying with him will not get you pre-"
I threw my knife at him that was once tied around my waist, stucking it in his wooden chair. Everyone gasp and slowly open their eyes. I glared harshly at Dervin. 'How could he think of that!?'
I slowly sat back to my chair. "That's enough" I sigh, my hands still in a tight fist. I glared at Dervin once again and he just smirk then continue to eat his food like he said nothing.
"So," Snotlout gulp before continuing "nice accuracy in there, y/n"
I just glanced at him, everyone seemed frozen in their place. I continued to ate my dinner before walking outside to get some fresh air.
Soon everyone walked in their own huts. Dervin decided to accept Fishleg's offer so now they're sharing a hut.
"Aren't you gonna go inside? You should rest, it's getting late now" Hiccup spoke to me from behind. I just sat outside his hut, staring at the stars. Looking up made me relax, I feel free and peaceful whenever I do that.
I stood up and turn around. Hiccup was leaning on a doorframe while I saw my dragon already inside, sleeping. Hiccup's night fury was in there, giving me a gummy smile. I smile back at him before looking at his rider. I slowly walked inside, my dragon was already snoring as I made my way to her to get my mat.
"What are you doing?" Hiccup asked, still on door frame.
"Uh, I'm preparing myself so I can sleep?" It sounded more like a question while Hiccup walked towards me.
"No, you should take the bed" He gestured on the stairs that lead to his bed. I turned around to look at him. His green eyes reflecting the torch that lit the room.
"Nope, you should take your bed. This is your hut, remember?"
"Yeah, but sleeping on the wooden floor won't help your wound" he crossed his arm proudly like he won maces and talons.
"Ugh.... fine" I rolled my eyes, heading upstairs. I heard Hiccup chuckled as he pet his night fury. "What's his name again" I pointed at his green eyed dragon.
"Oh he's.... Toothless" he scratched the back of his neck as I chuckled. Toothless smiled at me once again without his teeth.
"Yeah right" I shook my head. I climb onto the bed and closed my eyes, waiting for my sleep to arrive.
