Here Hiccup was, standing in front of the leader of Dragon Hunters with only his hands bound behind his back. He only ended up in this situation because he was too stubborn to tell his friends that he was going to go out patrolling after receiving a letter from Viggo to meet him on his ship.
He’d been ambushed by awaiting Hunters to take him down and drag him below deck. Now he was waiting for Viggo to finish his business. Hiccup had no idea as to why he was here and wasn’t being guarded more. He supposed it was his curiosity that made him stay put, wanting to know why Viggo had lured him here. Hiccup started tapping his foot impatiently, trying to not rush Viggo.
“I’ll be with you in a moment Hiccup. You can quit tapping your foot.” Viggo said, not gazing upward from his desk. Hiccup stopped tapping his foot and rolled his eyes. He decided to scowl at the Dragon Hunter.
Viggo put his pencil down and looked up at Hiccup, noticing he was glaring at him. He simply smirks at the Dragon Rider and stands up, moving to the front of his desk.
“So, you’re probably wondering why I’ve brought you here. It’s for a selfish reason unfortunately,” Viggo was pacing back and forth in front of Hiccup, “You should know by now that I see you as more than an opponent. You… fascinate me.”
Hiccup looked at Viggo slightly confused and disgusted about this strange confession. He may not have said it but Hiccup knew what Viggo meant. Viggo Grimborn has feelings for Hiccup Haddock and he had no idea how to feel about it. He’d noticed during recent attacks they were avoiding him as if Viggo had specifically told the hunters to not harm him. He didn’t think much of it. He assumed they didn’t want to harm Toothless in any way so he could be sold. He was not expecting this.
He stood there speechless not knowing how to react. Viggo stopped pacing and watched the young Viking stare and process.
“I see that I’ve made you uncomfortable.” Viggo observed, lowering his head then walked towards Hiccup going around behind him. Hiccup flinched a bit when Viggo undid the cuffs binding his wrist and walked back to stand in front of him still keeping some distance. Hiccup didn’t say a single word to Viggo, not knowing what to say.
“You’re free to leave. I’ll walk you out. Your dragon is above deck waiting for you.” Viggo led Hiccup above deck, staying a few steps ahead and there Toothless was in a cage. Viggo unlocked the door and Toothless slowly walked over to Hiccup and they left without a word, mind still racing.
For weeks Hiccup had been having trouble working out his feelings towards the Dragon Hunter. He knew in the back of his mind that he wasn’t just some ordinary enemy. There was something continuously drawing Hiccup to him.
He didn’t tell the Riders about his meeting with Viggo and how confusing it was. After Viggo’s confession, nearly every night, he’d wake up from a dream about the man and lay there on his back completely ignoring what his body was telling him.
It was bad enough that he was dreaming about him in that way, he definitely wasn’t going to feed into the fantasy. He didn’t tell his friends about the sleepless nights and strange feelings either. They could never know and they’d never understand. It was one thing to have Dagur drooling all over him but now another one of their enemies has a fascination for him.
One night, as the moon began to rise, Hiccup waited for everyone to settle in before he took off for Viggo’s ship. He decided that he had to see if these feelings were real or not. The last of the noise left the island and Hiccup climbed onto Toothless and they took off into the night.
Hiccup spotted the ship easily and guided Toothless down. Toothless landed silently on the deck doing a quick circle. Hiccup got off his back and signalled for him to stay put.
By the looks of how quiet it was above deck, Viggo was the only one on board. Hiccup quietly walked down the stairs to the room full of cells. Ahead of him was the door he assumed was Viggo’s commanding quarters. This wasn’t the same ship he was taken to when he was captured.
He was a few cells down when he felt someone grab him by the back of his tunic, pulling backwards. Hiccup’s back met the wall and he was suddenly face to face with Viggo. Anger flared inside of Hiccup, he tried to swing at Viggo yet he caught his arm mid air and brought his other arm against Hiccup’s neck. Hiccup stopped moving and glowered at Viggo instead. Being this close to Viggo began making him uncomfortable.
“Ah my dear, just the person I wanted to talk to. You came here a bit earlier than I thought.” Viggo relaxed his hold on Hiccup, not enough for Hiccup to be able to slip free, “Now I am going to let you go and you’re going to follow me into my quarters.”
Hiccup didn’t say a word and also didn’t move when Viggo let him go. Viggo turned around and walked towards the door. Hiccup stayed where he was standing for a few moments before following Viggo. He found Viggo sitting at his desk and he didn’t move away from the door.
“Please, Hiccup, take a seat.” Viggo said, gesturing to the chair in front of his desk.
“I’ll stand.” Hiccup responded, feeling his stomach doing flips as he looked at the Dragon Hunter. For weeks he had been thinking about this man and now that he was finally in front of him, he didn’t know what to do. His mind was telling him to go over to Viggo right now and kiss him. The other part of him didn’t want to make it seem like he was desperate for physical contact from this man.
“What brings you here my dear?” Viggo asked, leaning forward onto his hands, snapping Hiccup out of his deep thoughts.
Viggo could see Hiccup was not comfortable standing in front of him right now. Something in the young Viking had changed and it only took Viggo a few moments to realise that his confession to him had taken a toll on him. Hiccup’s mind was going a million miles per minute and Viggo could see it from where he was sitting.
“Nothing important. Just wanted to test something.” Hiccup replied, curling his lip. He tried to keep his breathing even except no matter how hard he tried he wasn’t successful.
“And what are your conclusions?” Viggo asked, not moving from his seated position. “Maybe I should help with this test of yours.” Viggo stood up from his chair and walked towards Hiccup. “You look at me differently, you know. I wonder what has changed since our last encounter?”
Hiccup’s eyes widened as Viggo approached, backing away from him. He found the wall instead of the door. Hiccup froze not knowing where to go with Viggo getting closer to him.
He had nowhere to go. The man towered over his small frame and all Hiccup could do was look up at him, an inhale catching in his throat.
“You look at me as if you’re intrigued by me instead of disgusted like you used to. So my dear,” Viggo said, bringing his face closer to Hiccup’s “What’s changed?” Hiccup stiffened, waiting for Viggo’s next move. Hiccup could see Viggo’s features more clearly now with him being this close to him. How imperfect everything was. The dark circles under his dark brown eyes and the slight unkempt hairs along his jaw. Seeing the scar along his neck fascinated Hiccup the most, wondering how he got it.
“N-nothings changed. I still hate you” Hiccup retorted, with little confidence in his voice. He tried to push his way past him but Viggo put a hand on his shoulder to keep him in place. Hiccup kept his eyes down as Viggo got into Hiccup’s personal space again moving his face towards Hiccup’s ear.
“You know you're a terrible liar?” Viggo asked, breath brushing over Hiccup’s cheek
“So I've been told,” Hiccup’s voice comes out barely a whisper. “By many people. You’d be surprised,”
Viggo loosened his grip on Hiccup’s shoulder seeing if he’d move. Hiccup stayed where he was trying to get oxygen into his lungs evenly again. Viggo ran his hand down Hiccup’s arm sending goosebumps radiating through Hiccup’s body. His breathing became more uneven and he could hear his heartbeat pounding out of his chest.
Viggo slowly moved his hand to Hiccup’s waist pulling him closer to his body, letting his breath run down Hiccup's neck. Viggo’s hand continued to travel down Hiccup’s body and Hiccup put his hand on top of Viggo’s to stop his movements.
“What are you doing?” Hiccup asked,
“Proving a point” Viggo answered, leaning face closer to Hiccup’s neck and lightly brushing his lips against the Dragon Rider’s neck.
Hiccup felt his breath hitch however he didn’t try to pull away. Viggo started moving his lips along the column of his neck, opening his mouth slightly and licking down towards his collarbone. Hiccup turned his head to the side, allowing Viggo more access, letting a moan escape his lips.
Viggo pulled away and lifted Hiccup's face towards him. Neither of them moved. Viggo was going to let Hiccup make the first move. Hiccup licked his lips and looked Viggo right in the eyes. Noticing all the different browns and feeling more drawn to him.
Hiccup shook his head and tried to push him off again. This time he was successful and he began pacing around the room.
“I can’t! This is wrong. We can’t do this. I shouldn’t be feeling like this. Why? Why you?” Hiccup yelled, running his hands through his hair, turning towards Viggo who hadn't moved from where he was standing.
Hiccup's mind was racing. He stood frozen again and thought of what could happen if he did do something. If he did let himself drown in this desire. What would everyone think? Would they even understand?
Hiccup looked up at Viggo and thought screw all the consequences. He wanted this and he was going to have it.
Hiccup walked back towards Viggo who was now smirking at him knowing what was going through his mind. Viggo always liked watching Hiccup think through every scenario, seeing how his brain worked out different outcomes to his decisions.
He stopped right in front of him. Hiccup gave a slight nod and Viggo placed a hand on Hiccup’s cheek.
Viggo slowly lent forward brushing his lips gently against Hiccup’s. Hiccup responded straight away, melting into the kiss. They didn’t move for a few moments and Viggo slowly pulled back. Hiccup was breathless.
It finally happened and now he didn’t know what to do. On one hand he could leave, Viggo got his answer or he could stay. Before Hiccup could make a decision, Viggo’s hands were on the young Dragon Rider's waist pulling him in for another kiss. Immediately responding, Hiccup wrapped his arms around the Dragon Hunter’s neck.
Viggo’s grip became tighter and he turned his head to deepen the kiss, moving one of his hands from his waist up to Hiccup’s cheek. Hiccup, trying to pull Viggo closer to him, dug his fingers in Viggo’s hair.
Viggo let Hiccup take control for only a moment before he backed Hiccup into the desk, letting his hands wander down his waist stopping at his ass, lifting him onto the desk stepping between his legs.
Viggo ran his hands down Hiccup’s legs letting them rest on his thighs. Hiccup wrapped his legs tight around Viggo pulling him closer. The kiss was slow and passionate. Viggo trailed his tongue over Hiccup’s bottom lip asking for invitation, however Hiccup kept the kiss slow and innocent.
Viggo let one of his hands go towards Hiccup's ass, giving it a light squeeze causing him to gasp and Viggo’s tongue invaded Hiccup’s mouth. Hiccup let out a soft moan, digging his fingers deeper into Viggo’s hair. Hiccup suddenly stopped and pushed Viggo away.
“We can’t do this again,” Hiccup said, trying to catch his breath. He sat where he was a few more moments then pushed himself off the desk. Viggo let Hiccup leave and as Hiccup was about to walk out the door Viggo spoke,
“See you soon, my dear,” Hiccup’s cheeks turned pink, he didn’t stop walking away. He hopped onto Toothless and left.
Viggo was right. Hiccup still couldn’t get the Dragon Hunter out of his head and he did go back a few days later. Making sure he wasn’t being suspicious. Every few days, Hiccup would wait until it was dark and leave for Viggo’s ship. He knew that it was a bad idea every time he left the Edge but he couldn’t help himself.
Sometimes he’d go to the ship and learn about different islands and dragons or just as he walked through the door he was pushed up against the wall and was kissed senseless. He was enjoying every moment of his time with Viggo that when they finally had sex for the first time Hiccup was on cloud 9. The attacks on the Dragon Hunter’s lessened but not enough that the teens really noticed. Everything was perfect and Hiccup hoped things didn’t change.
