day 7 - to love

Hiccup slinked into the workshop, behavior flighty and shifty, clutching the straps of his backpack.

"Hello lad." Gobber greeted with a knowing face, "what plan of yers are yer roping me into this time?"

"Um. Can we talk in the back?" Hiccup asked and shrank even more under Gobber's disapproving gaze.

He sighs. "Sure."

"Great." Hiccup took him by the arm and rushed to the back. Or he tried to, at least.

"Okay. So. There's this girl who I-"

"Oh. That's not really -" Gobber tried to cut him off with a wave of his prosthetic arm.

"Did you even listen?! I kinda...well..." Hiccup, who usually can think of some half-assed way out of a conversation, falters. "I think I made her mad by doing something I shouldn't have and wanted to hear your suggestions on how to apologize." he suddenly rambles.

"I was about to say, lad, I'm the worst person to ask about women. Apologies? That's more of my field of expertise. But debatable. How'd you piss her off?"

"I...I'm not sure, but she started avoiding me all of a sudden. So I've been trying to figure out what I did and...well... I guess she felt me giving her a gift was uncalled for."

"What'd you give?" Gobber asked patiently.

"I made her a pair of gloves because I see her always trying to warm her hands by blowing on them in winter. She keeps forgetting to replace her old gloves, so I thought, why not make her some new ones? And then..."

"She started avoiding you. Are you sure she's deliberately avoiding you or are you missing information?

"Huh? Why else would she...well, actually, you're right, she did mention about increased school workload." Hiccup scratched his head. "But that wouldn't warrant her writing to everyone else, but not me. And after a bit, I decided to give her some space..." he flailed around helplessly.

"Now it sounds like you're avoiding HER, not vice-versa."

"I guess." Gobber was right, Hiccup thought. Now that he put it that way-

"Why don't you just, talk to her? Tell her why you gave her the gloves? Ask if she was uncomfortable and is she is, apologize? She sounds like a good enough friend to understand where the gift came from. And if not? Drop her."

Hiccup nodded. "Thank you."

Gobber let out a surprised noise when Hiccup hugged him on a whim.

"As I said, you can always talk to me, lad." He said as he patted the teen’s head.

***

The night had been...eventful, to say the least, from having to chase off several smaller flocks and shepherd them back to their nest, to convincing a dragon to please NOT try and claim territory on their side of the barrier - first diplomatically, and then, of course, it escalated into a fight. Hiccup gave his arms a good stretch as they ached.

"You should take a diplomacy class or something." Nadder had groaned. "Any more nighttime injuries and I won't heal in time for class."

"Sorry." he'd said, scratching his head. He’d been quite bashful.

Stormfly had only shaken her head, and quietly plucked a few loose spines from her hair.

The others had already booked it for the night - “exam” they’d sighed in unison, and Hiccup had given them a sympathetic smile.

So it was just the two of them now.

“Can we talk?” He asked.

She fiddled with the fingers of her gloves - the ones he’d made, he noticed to his surprise - before responding: “Sure.”

“Mind if we go somewhere we can sit?”

“Gothi’s?” She suggested.

“I’m not in the mood to be judged by Terrible Terrors right now.”

She snorted at that, spines flaring slightly at the motion.

“Would a rooftop do?” She brushed back a loose strand of hair.

“I guess.” He responded and followed her as she plopped down on a spot she deemed sufficiently comfortable.

“So. What’s the issue?” She asked.

“Well…” he paused, trying to remember of what he’d planned to say, but the words escaped him.

“I wanted to apologise.” He blurted out.

“For what?” She tilted her head.

“Well…I hope I didn’t offend you when I gave you the gloves. You seemed to be, well, mad at me.”

His fingers played with the charm attached to his jacket. “Um, I’m sorry if I came across as inappropriate, and if you want space -“

“Gods! No, you idiot. I - “ she interrupted him. Then, she interrupted herself before continuing.

“I really, really like them.“ she fixed her hands still inside said gloves. “I felt bad for not having something to give to you.” She gave him a look. “And - oh. My sneaking around trying to figure out what you wanted probably resulted in it looking like I was avoiding you. “ she facepalmed. “Sorry, Tooth.”

“It’s fine, really.” He insisted. “I guess I jumped to conclusions.”

“You tend to do that.” She agreed, before sliding closer to where he sat.

“You don’t have to give me anything in return. Really. I just thought you should keep your hands warm since you’re doing your hero exams, and you mentioned the cold giving you issues with your powers, so-“ he trailed off.

“That’s nice of you.” She said all of a sudden.

“Oh? Thank you.” He didn’t know how to respond to that. “I suppose it’s just another way to look out for you, I guess. Flock stuff.”

“Hm.” She smiled. “Well, I still think I should get you something.”

“Spending time together is enough for me. Really.” He stressed, before hoisting himself onto a seat next to her.

“Good old times, huh.”

“Well, we’d probably not be here without the others.” He admitted.

She gave him a friendly swat to the forehead.

“And thank you again for the gloves.” She said before surprisingly pulling him into a hug.

“As I said, you’re welcome. Let me know if they have any issues. Or if there’s anything else you need help with.

“Really, Stormy. You’re important to me.”

“You’re important to me too, okay? Remember that before you go into your next suicidal plan here, alright?”

A warmth blossomed in his chest.

She leaned against him after they broke the hug, and they sat there for a while, staring up at the crystal dome far in the distance.

“I will.” He chuckled, and they fell silent.

They stared up at the tip of the dome where the barrier barely covered, shimmering like waves, fending off dimensional instability and keeping the sky city safe. The tower of the Ice Palace grazed it, perhaps being a mere two meters below, before the palace itself disappeared into its artificial cloud. (Honestly, how loaded was Pruina to be able to afford the maintenance and airspace fees…)

“If you want, I can take you up there one day. Best view of all of Berk.” He told her, yanking her from her thoughts.

“I can imagine.” She said. “Just us?”

“I think I can’t sneak five people up there." he made a face. "Two is more doable.”

“Alright.” She mused.

“I’m really glad we have…us.” It sounded stupid, but he was.

“Me too.” Her hand wandered over to his, and they intertwined.

He was glad she understood, and rested his chin on her head. After his growth spurt, he was able to slightly tower above her, just enough that he could rest his head atop the crown of hers when she leaned against him like now.

“And I love you.” He’d told her head. Quietly, hushed, but he’d said it. He doubted she’d heard it.

She gave a hum, before suddenly moving and seeing her watch. “I’m late.”

“Oh. Don’t let me keep you.”

“It’s not problem. Well, goodnight.” She gave his hand a quick squeeze, before growing bold enough to plant a quick kiss on his cheek.

He blushed. “Goodnight.”

She vanished into the evening; and he too vacated the rooftop with a sigh, remembering that he had an essay to finish.

Can you do a request for the “to love au” when Chris and the reader (she still pregnant) have a argument on a disagreement and Chris starts losing his temper and starts yelling really loud and he wakes up the kids and they are watching them argue and standing in the hall so they couldn’t see them until they see Chris and the reader arguing real close to each other’s face and Marcus and the other older kids gets in the middle of them for them to stop so after all that Chris is most definitely on the couch 💀 . The next morning every thing is weird after the argument and the kids help Chris make it up to the reader. And after that everything is fine and better. You can write this whenever you can 🫶🏽 .

To love masterlist

Kofi

The last few weeks have been hell for you; your work has been difficult, and communicating with your employees has been complicated because you work from home. Fortunately, your assistant is literally saving your life.

Your babysitter left her job due to a family emergency, your housekeeper asked you to reduce her working hours because her daughter had just given birth to twins, and you completely understand how difficult it is to care for twins. So you didn't say no to her request

Your children are occasionally well-behaved. But you have no idea why when they start school, they turn into total assholes and devils.

Your older two children are much easier to manage. Not your youngest children, who have been disrespectful and mischievous. They are always getting into fights with each other , pranking, or simply yelling at each other .

Alicia is the most difficult of them all. All she wants is her daddy to play with her, to nap with her, to do her hair, to feed her, and even change her. She prefers him over you.

You know she didn't act like this with her babysitter, and you have no idea why she’s giving you this attitude; it’s taking a tool on you to deal with her tantrums.

Thankfully, Chris has promised that once he has finalized his interviews and premieres, he will be available 24/7 to assist you. He will also take a break until you give birth to Layla, find a new babysitter, and everything will return to normal.

You're sitting on the couch, waiting for Chris to join you in watching a movie; it's been a long time since you two have had a night alone. Normally, you would go on a date night once every two weeks, sometimes staying at a hotel and returning the next morning, and other times simply going home and sleeping. This has been your tradition for the past twenty years.

“Alicia drifted off as soon as her head hit the pillow," Chris said as he came downstairs and sat beside you on the couch, taking your feet and propping them up in this lap, he began digging his thumbs into the sole of your left foot, switching between your feet every few seconds.

"Why is my assistant calling me about the new movie you accepted, Chris?" You were furious because he said he wouldn't take another movie and then did it anyway.

"I was going to tell you about it, the Russo brothers asked me and I couldn't say no," he said as he smiled at you.

"Are you serious right now?" You're going to smash his gorgeous head into something.

"It's a big film. I couldn't simply say no," he tries to persuade you

"Chris, we agreed on this, you're supposed to be here with me, I can't do it all by myself?" You slightly raised your voice. The film is currently forgotten.

"We have a housekeeper and we will get a new babysitter to help us, there's no need to worry," he explained, becoming increasingly agitated. Despite his desire to stay with you and the kids, he couldn't say no to the Russo brothers, the biggest movie directors.

"We don't have time to search for a new babysister!!! Chris, I want you here with me these are your children as well!" You clearly expressed your displeasure with him by raising your voice.

"I didn't say they weren't," he exclaimed as he rose from the couch.

“I need someone to assist me around the house, i’m fucking pregnant and I’m working and your kids are difficult to manage on my own." You yelled at him, and you didn't care if your voice was too loud and woke up the kids.

"I'll call Mom to help you around the house."

Now you're both standing up and yelling at each other, oblivious to the pairs of eyes staring at you from the stairs.

"I don't want your fucking mother to help me!!" you came even closer to him.

“You’re being ridiculous right now!!”

"You said you'd help me!! Actually no, you're not helping me; you promised to be responsible for your kids as well; I can't do everything by myself, and I refuse to."

“Then don’t!” he screamed at you.

Before you could respond, a voice interpreted you “Mom, dad... what's going on? You guys woke us up"

You look at Marcus standing away from you, behind him a sleepy looking Marlyn, Alicia standing beside her sister holding her favourite blanket looking at her daddy.

You were angry and upset, and you knew that whatever came out of your mouth would be cruel as hell. You decided enough was enough tonight, and you glared at Chris, saying, "Enjoy your night on the couch."

He just sighed back, you took your kids up with you, comforting them and putting them to sleep, Marlyn decided to sleep with you, it's been her thing since she was a child to sleep with you whenever her father travels, you thought she'd grow out of it, but no, she's fifteen and still sleeps with you.

What you don't know is that Marcus has returned downstairs to his father. "I'm not saying this because mom is my favorite, but she's really tired," he explained.

"I know, I want to be here with her, but... god," Chris sighed.

“She’s doesn’t want you to be just here, she actually needs your help dad, Marlyn and I are trying to help as much as we can but there’s so little of what we can do, we have our practices and school work. The twins been a nightmare. And Mrs.smith is getting old and she can’t clean this mansion by herself and you know mom doesn’t have the heart to let her go”

He stopped for a bit before continuing “and don’t get me started on Alicia” he said with an eye roll which made Chris laugh.

“Dad, we actually needs you with us, we have been excited for you to take a break and be with us” he stood up “we love you dad and we miss you, good night” He hugged his dad and went upstairs to his room.

Chris lay comfortably on the couch, he didn’t think his kids felt he was never around, which was not what he wanted to happen ever. His own wife is getting tired and depressed. He felt like a jerk his own family felt neglected by him.

—

Chris woke up early the next morning to call his manager to see if they could postpone the filming for a few months, and if not, he didn't want to star in it due to family issues.

He is certain that if he truly meant to be in this film, they will go to any length to accommodate him, and if not, it is their loss, not his.

He showered and dressed, then woke the kids up, dressed them, and began preparing breakfast for them.

You were still sleeping, not even moving when he entered the room or even when he woke up Marlyn, clearly exhausted. You haven't gotten a good night's sleep since you got pregnant

You finally woke up later, looking at the clock beside you that read nine a.m., you jumped out of bed quickly and went outside, thinking no one had woken up your kids for school.

You were surprised to find Chris sitting on the couch watching television, and there was no sign for your children.

“Where’s the kids?” You asked.

“The driver took them to their school” he replied.

"Who made them breakfast?" You asked again, surprised that no one had woken you up and even more surprised that you hadn't woken up on your own.

"I did," he said as he stood up in front of you, "I talked to my agent."

“About?” You went to the kitchen, and he followed you, and you started drinking a cup of coffee.

"I asked them to postpone the movie," he said quietly for a moment, then continued, "look y/n I'm sorry, I really am, I didn't realize how much you had been worked up, and I promise I'll be here, I talked to my agent for a break, and I won't do anything other than be here for you and be responsible and do whatever falls on me”

You sighed and turned to face him, "I don't want to be the person who prevents you from pursuing your dream, but sometimes I need you here with me, Chris, we've got six kids and one on the way, we have to work as a team for this to work or else what the point?"

"I know, baby, I'm sorry; I promise I'll be here with you starting today," he said, giving you a sweet loving kiss to express his regret for putting you through all of this.

He broke the kiss minute "stay right here" he left the kitchen and returned with a large orange bag from the famous high brand you adore.

"To prove to you how sorry i’m," he hands you the bag. You smiled at him; whenever you get mad at him, he always gets you a gift to show how grateful and sorry he is.

You opened it to see the new Louis Vuitton bag in your favorite color, you remembered asking your daughter about it.

“Marlyn helped you?” You asked.

"The only thing she did was send me a picture of the bag and said, 'this is what she wants,' and that was pretty much it," you both laughed at your daughter.

"Thank you baby and I'm sorry I was mean to you last night," you said as you hugged him.

"Oh, it's all right. I know you'll make it up to me since the kids aren't here," he winked at you.

"Don't get your hopes up, honey," you said as you kissed him and carried the bag to your room, and he followed you to get what he wanted.
