Link-
Rest of the characters are wearing their normal outfits. Again hope u like it and please review.
Today was gonna be a long day for me..well us..I put on my blue-purplish shirt on and gray pants along with my fur cloak. I look decent. I made this 2 days ago. This should be my regular outfit..anyways I grabbed my bag and went outside.
"Evening Chief. Nice outfit"Gobber said
"Umm thanks" I put down my bag on the boat.
"What time will we be leaving"
"In like an hour. I just need to do a few more things" It's been a long time since we had a conversation. This is probably the longest we ever had.
"Ah. The announcement." Gobber said
I went back to my house and got my sword from its wall mount and put it on my shoulder strap. Graved on it "Chief of Berk, the hairy hooligan tribe". I needed an acting chief before I leave and there was only one man I can trust to lead them.
I went to the center of the village where there was already a crowd.
I went up to the platform.
"Good evening everyone." Blank faces everywhere.. I saw the gang in the back, along with Astrid..
"As you know me and some of the counselors will be leaving to the meeting. And so I will make Fishlegs acting chief" The crowded claps And fishlegs came up.
I turned to him and gestured for him to take a knee. He kneed and took his helmet off.
I pulled out my sword and lay it on his shoulder
"I chief Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, pronounce you Fishlegs Ingerman as acting Chief for as long as I am gone."
The crowded cheered. Everyone was clapping and congratulating him.
I put the sword back in the holder and gave it to Fishlegs.
"Fishlegs I'll just need you to complete some of the tasks I left on a piece of paper in the forge. Just Do what you can and.. goodbye" I said as I patted his back.
He nodded
First time I'm talking to him..and to most of them. I talked to him, Mom, Eret, and Gobber. But we just talked about work related things. I missed geeking over stuff.
I left and went back home and then to the great hall to get my dinner which I'll be eating in the voyage since there is no time left.
I saw Astrid sitting there eating her food.
I grabbed my salmon and mashed potato. And wrapped tin foil around it. I saw that she was still eating. Was her stuff even on the boat?
"Astrid where are your stuff?"
"For what?"
"The voyage. How can you forget?! We're leaving in like 15 minutes!"
"Because I'm not going"
"What do you mean you're not going?! You have to. You're the future Chieftain. It's your job to be my side."
"It doesn't have too"
Did she just..
"Astrid I said go get your stuff! We're gonna be late" I said. If we're late then that's a bad impression.
She took a sip from her cup. Ignoring me.
"Are you serious?!
I was about to grab her neck but I stopped myself.
"Idiot" I whispered to myself. I looked at her. Her eyes widened with fear.
"I..I..just please go do what I asked...You know what. It's your choice." I said as I went out the door and slammed it. Yes I was mad. But yet again it's her choice.
I went walking to the docks.
So are we over? She's not my betrothed anymore. So who should be mine..? There's no one like her. I love her..is this really it?...
"Chief It's almost time" Eret said
"Where's Astrid" Valka said as she put her bag on the floor.
"I don't know"
Astrid's pov
I grabbed my bag that was hidden in the cart of fruit and went out the door. I whistled
"Hey girl. See he didn't harm me"
She grumbled. Truth is, I still love him. I know deep inside of him that he still has good in him. I don't know if this is a part of his mourning stage or something. I just wanted him back. I love him no matter what..even if he hurts me, I know he didn't mean to. I heard him one time crying in his house alone. he kept saying Im sorry. To everyone.
He was an innocent person and who knew he was a hurtful person. No one except hiccup to be the one yelling and hurting people. He needs to control himself. I miss him. I miss holding his hand, braiding his hair, being there or him being there for me, I miss the midnight flights, I miss our little make out session, I miss his kisses, his stutters, his voice, he used to have that cracky squeaky voice..now he is more louder. The only time I heard him in his normal voice was when he was talking to his mom and Gothi..and just a few minutes ago..
And gosh he looks so handsome in that outfit.
We landed in the docks.
"Okay girl. See you in a few days. Take care of the flock. I love you" I patted her and she flew off
"Well someone's late" Gobber said
"Sorry I just had a talk with the Chief" I walked past hiccup and placed my bag with the others.
"Oh you did" Eret said as he glanced at Hiccup, who was untying the rope.
"He didn't hurt you right?" Valka whispered
As she, Gobber, and Eret had worried faces
"No he didn't. I'll tell you about it later"
"Thank thor" Gobber said
"Alright Chief. Directions"
"We'll need to go around the Island. East" Hiccup said as pulled the ropes. Making the sail (flag whatever) to open up.
"I got this chief. Im a professional at this"Eret said
"Sorry Eret bit I need to keep practicing"
"Agreed. It's a requirement" Valka said
"You too Lass" Valka patted Astrid's shoulder
It's true.
we can't take our dragons. They told us that they would like to keep tradition and want us to keep practicing how to sail just in case of an emergency. And the total amount of time of this voyage is about 15 hours.
We both set up the sail. We made the the turn and everything was set.
"Alright, We'll sail straight until we've reach the boundaries between the archipelago."
"Now just eat your dinner and then off to bed. I'll be below deck. Do not bother me"
Astrid's pov
We entered this small room with no doors. We sat at the table which was the only thing there.
"So what happened" Eret said
"I wanted to see what his reaction would be if I told him I didn't want to be his future Chieftain and he was about to grab me. But he stopped himself"
"Oh well..he's improving. I guess" Gobber said
"Yeah but he still attempted. You had Stormfly?" Eret said
"Yeah. Guarding on top"
"Alright soo..go talk to him"
"What?"
"Talk to him"
"He clearly just said to not disturb him"
"He's always gonna say that" Gobber said
"Not right now. Give him a bit of time. Right now. Let's eat" Valka said
Hiccup's pov
Below deck was a small table in the middle and beds around me...I really need to make a better one. I took a bite of my salmon. I was reading through this packet. I read the questions. And now I'm gonna answer them. Just a bunch of simple. question
"Okay question 1, Full name"
Hiccup horrendous haddock the third. I write.
"Question 2, Date of birth"
February 28
"I am technically 4 years old but whatever. Question 3. Parents name"
Stoick Haddock. Valka Haddock
"Spouse's name...I really don't know what to put" I said and I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw Astrid standing on the entrance.
I looked back down. "I said don't bother me"
"I came here to talk to you about something serious"
"And I am Busy doing this"
"That can be done later"
She stood across from me. putting my pencil down.
She took the nearest chair and sat.
We both looked at each other. Eye to eye
"What do you want to talk about?"
"You know what. About you. You need to tell us what's wrong"
"I don't know" I lied
There was no way of leaving this conversation.
If I did then she will block the exit and Mom and the rest are on top.
"You know hiccup"
"I don't"
"Please Hiccup" She said as she put her hands on top of mine.
All those thoughts went into my head. Those thoughts...
She stood up and went by my side and wiped my face. I didn't even know I was crying.
She hugged me. I hugged her back.
I let all my tears fall. The tears I was holding for a long time. I never wanted her to see my cry again. It made me feel weak.
I sobbed
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm so sorry" I cried on her shoulder
"It's Okay Hiccup. I'm forgive you"
We stayed like this for 5 minutes. I also saw mom and the others by the door. Astrid gestured for them to go away.
"Hiccup please talk to me"
"I don't want to. Not right now. Later. I promise"
We stayed in each other's brace for a while and we went to bed. We didn't say anything. Absolutely nothing. Just straight to bed. We shared it together the others had their own. She had her hand on top of mines. I tried to sleep but I couldn't stop thinking of those thoughts. They filled my head, causing me a headache.
After 20 minutes of staring at the ceiling and Astrid. I slowly went upstairs. I leaned against the railing. Looking up at the moon and then to the down to the ocean. I sighed.
"Can't sleep?" I turned my head around and saw Astrid walking towards me.
"Nope"
She stood next to me.
"I'm really sorry Astrid"
"I know and again. I forgive you. Now firstly. Do you have some of it on you?"
I nodded. Disappointed. I pulled out a flask from my pocket. Yes I was planning on drinking a bit before and after the meeting. I really have a bad addiction.
"You need to stop drinking this Hiccup. This really makes a great impact on your behavior. They say it's hard to give this up but I'm here to help. Okay?"
I nodded
She leaned her head against my shoulder and I put my head on top of hers.
"Astrid"
"Yeah?"
"I..I wanna talk about it"
